Entry tags:
Are you on the square? Are you on the level?
Who: Deputy Pratt & You
What: A reckoning is upon you (He's storming the halls looking for Sharky)
Where: Everywhere!
When: Mid-October
Warnings: Violence. Cult stuff. Cannibalism. Skinning. Gore. The standard Pratt warning buffet.
Notes: Bracket or prose, live your truth.
1. The World Is Weak - Laundry Room
It's already been well established that the best place to have a breakdown on the ship is in the Laundry Room, so that's where Pratt is. Though he's not crying, he's not yelling or throwing things or freaking out over a jacket like last time. No, he's pacing. Back and forth and back and forth, again and again while staring at the ground. He has his arms folded, clutching across his chest, which is an awkward position while walking but he doesn't move them.
He doesn't know what to do. Well, he knows what he wants to do, but he also knows that he is the master of terrible decisions so maybe he should think about it?
Back and forth. Back and forth.
Enjoying yourself?
"Shut the fuck up."
2. Eviction Notice - Decks
When Deputy Pratt leaves his room in the morning, he's wearing his full uniform, his belt jangling with every step, along with the dog tags around his neck. Idly he trails his fingers along the wall as he goes, dragging through some of those bloody notes left on doors without even seeming to react to it.
"Sharky! Shaaaaarkkkkyyyy..."
For all that people have seen him sobbing into mashed potatoes, enjoying himself in the arcade, or just generally being a morose but kind of endearing dork, there's another side to him that even Clarke hasn't seen. The last time he was walking like this he was losing himself to the conditioning and barely knew what he was doing. This is different. Pratt is in absolute control of himself and that is so much worse.
"It's been a day and we had a deal. A pact even." Pratt normally sounds like a raven with laryngitis, but right now his voice is so low and controlled when he talks that it could probably be used to grind glass. If it's not obvious Pratt is pissed. He's fucking furious. And that cold fury is being bottled up, saving it for later, for when he needs to act.
"It's okay, you can come out. We just need to talk. We're going to have a little chat. That's all."
He gets to the end of the hall of cabins, blood trailing from his fingers across all the doors from the loving notes left to Ebalon. He reaches up to his forehead, using the blood to draw a cross down his nose and across his forehead.
"Did you think you were finally free?"
This is probably fine.

Helicoptor. What's the difference?
Hmmm. I wonder if American horses are more skittish than the ones we've been breeding since the Mongol invasion. Perhaps they get inured to the chaos after so much war. Or I naturally terrify them. It could be that. [He doesn't. He only terrifies people who don't know him, only his reputation, and cannot terrify a rabbit. Just ask Klaus.]
And it tastes good? How are there so many different kinds? [Definitely putting beef jerky in every bento box for Pratt from here to forever now.]

Helicopters have propellers on the top so they can hover and go up and down vertically, planes have propellers on the front so you have to have wheels on them to get up to speed on the ground before they lift off. Planes are for transportation, helicopters are to get into remote locations where you don't have much room, or to hover over an area without moving - like if you're looking for someone trapped in a blizzard.
It's meat with seasoning bro, it's amazing. Smoked, teriyaki, peppered, chili and lime, hickory, cajun, korean bbq...
no subject
Teriyaki? [Nods!] What's your favorite?
no subject
I don't know how to land a plane. Different things, different controls. I'm a helicopter pilot not a plane pilot.
[There's dozens of flavors of jerky and yet Pratt is a basic bitch from Montana.]
I like the peppered one. Cuz I can eat a shit ton of it but it's not super bland.
[He scratches his jaw, thinking about how this has gone from him nearly losing his shit in the middle of the hallway, to discussing his favorite jerky flavors. Man this ship is fucking weird.]
no subject
Peppered, I will remember this. I should lime to try the teriyaki, but lime too. What's the most extreme flavor? [EXTREME!!!]
no subject
So I'm not sure why people eat it but apparently eating something that spicy is euphoric or whatever. I'm sure as fuck not gonna do it.
no subject
Euphoric, huh? [But not drugs?] I think I can understand that. I wonder if Ieyasu would know. He likes spicy food the most.
no subject
But if I find anything crazy spicy I'll let you know. You can try it out and tell me if it's worth it.
