The Mime and the Clown
Written by Jinochi
Once upon a time, on a space station far far away, there lived a crew of questionable sanity, doing questionable plasma research under a questionable corporation.
Among this crew lived two particular people, whos lives could not be more opposite! One was silent and hard working, always dedicated to her duty above all else. The other was wild and untamed, always looking for some sort of trouble to stir.
One day these two met while awaiting job assignment at the Head of Personnels office, or at least that's what one of them was doing.
The wild one only wished to gain all access, as to further her mischief as far as she could reach. Failing that, she would return with toolbox in hand and security hot on her trail.
The silent one still waiting in line, could only shake her head as she watched the other being chased in circles, tasers firing all over.
Still, curiosity struck the silent one, and she decided to go visit the odd mischief maker in her new brig cell.
The wild one was pleased to have some company, and though the silent one did not say much, she did listen to her stories and tales of grand adventure and great trouble.
The sound of such an exciting life had the silent one even more curious, but she shrugged it off and left the wild one to her remaining time.
After her time in the brig was spent, the wild one went to visit the silent one at her work place, to the silent ones genuine surprise.
The silent one tried hard to ignore her, going about her work as usual, while the wild one did her thing and stirred up trouble with the staff. It wasn't long before security retured to take the wild one away again.
But as she was dragged off, the silent one could not help but watch her leave, and for some reason decided to take a break from her post and visit her once more in the brig.
Outside the cell window, the silent one continued to listen to the wild ones stories, and she felt herself more and more enjoying this persons company.
When her time as once again up, the wild one decided to take hold of the silent one, to her shock, and dragged her away to the theater.
It was there the wild one had to admit of her own loneliness, but had enjoyed the visits of the silent one. She now wanted to break into the theater with her and have some fun with the costumes.
The silent one was uncertain of this course of action, breaking and entering was still a crime after all... But for an unexplained reason, she decided to go along with this escapade still.
As they had gotten the doors open and were raiding the autodrobe together, right on cue security showed up with tasers blazing. They dragged the silent one away in cuffs, and what ever happened to the wild one after was left unknown...
The silent one tried to plead her case, but the investigative detective would hear none of it, and a harsh sentance she was given.
It wasn't long after that that the wild one did show up in the brig, but not as a prisoner in cuffs, but rather as a newly assigned security officer!
The silent one looked to her pleadingly for help, but the wild one ignored her new friend as if she wasn't even there, going about her new job like it was all important to her now.
Marred by betrayal, the silent one never spoke to the wild one again, and resigned herself to a life of even deeper silence.. .
