[Fujiko is chilling out in what people might recognize as decorated pretty much like Lupin's apartment. She's singing softly to herself and tinkering with something strange, albeit mechanical.]

They tried to draft us
But we don't wanna go
The man can't keep us down
Cuz oh yeah we know....

[She pauses and gives up on the song, focusing instead momentarily on snapping a spring into place, though this gets a quiet little "banzai!" of delight. Success; whatever it was.]

Tie em, push 'em down
The Energizer Bunny
Just keeps on runnin'
But there ain't no cure
For Luceti Winter Blues

[Cute frown and a pout.] No wait, that line's terrible... [Sighs and runs a hand through her hair, then taps her little mechanics into device, which mostly just looks extremely dangerous and flashes knifes and other cutting utensils on swinging springs before she taps it it again with a pen to make it stop and settle down.]

Writing music is really hard. "But there ain't no cure --
For Luceti's Barrier Blues??" [She just shrugs.] Someone else should do this, it's too hard. Tell Elvis I quit. Anyone want to write a protest song? I am going to stick to making earrings.

[Earrings. Yes, apparently that death trap from hell she's playing with? It's an earring. Of course it is. Who wouldn't wear such death traps on their ears right next to their head and necks... it's so shiny. And then the other "earring" goes off and just starts smoking.] Uh-oh... guess I shouldn't have borrowed Lupin's gunpowder. [She's just gonna... try to blow that out.... yeah... be back shortly; experiencing technical difficulties and all that.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Spock lifts and eyebrow and notices the change in atmosphere...

She has taken a rather defensive attitude.]

On the contrary...I did not imply you were weak, I merely stated that vulnerability is mistaken for weakness.

However you... like your partner, are...fascinating. [Spock is giving that odd half-smile again... however, he cannot help but feel uneasy... ]

And you don't think it is weakness?

Fascinating? [Tilts her head and forces a small would-be "carefree" laugh.] Should I even ask how so?

And Lupin's not my partner. Sometimes we work together, but not always.

Negative. I consider the two terms to be separate. To be weak is to be found 'lacking' in something... to be vulnerable is to be exposed. True strength is in how you handle being exposed.
A rather fascinating concept. [What Spock does not mention is that to be vulnerable is to be 'honest'... ]

And Spock notices the 'forced' laugh and he regrets making her feel uncomfortable... especially on their first meeting.]

As a person who lives their life by their own rules and frequents in thievery and espionage? Of course I find you fascinating.

[Spock blushes green a bit... he did not know how to explain...] My apologies, when I said 'partner' I meant to say your mate.

Yes... I suppose that would be.

I'm not a thief. [SHE IS. BUT. Her story is that she isn't, and she's sticking to it.] And we are not dating. I think. [Thinks it over.] Well, it's complicated. He's my ex. One I can't seem to get rid of. [She's half undecided if she wants to get rid of him though, so that's part of the problem.]

[Spock raises an eyebrow to each comment. How....complicated when you do not know the state of a relationship. Most illogical.]
My apologies Miss Fujiko, I did not mean to imply.

Will you tell me about yourself?

[That... no. She just freezes. If her relationship with Lupin is complicated, trying to explain herself is worse.]

What do you want to know?

[She'll... probably lie. Jeez.]

[Curious....that gets her another calculating gaze and an eyebrow...]

Fascinating.....

You and Mister Lupin are very much alike....

We--!

We are not!

[Honestly, even Fujiko knows they're kind of alike, but gosh, she will protest this anyway. And have a vehement foot stamp.] He's way more pig-headed and stupid than I'll ever be!

My apologies once again Miss Fujiko, I did not mean to upset you.

[Spock though... has to stop himself from defending Lupin.]

However, be that as it may, your characteristics are relatively the same.

[Spock is not one for 'small-talk'... however, perhaps he can catch her interest.] Perhaps you would like to put this theory to the test?

What... all right sure. How?

[Folds her arms over her chest. Hmph! She'll prove she's not like Lupin!]

I have two questions. The second one is of a hypothetical nature.

[Spock leans forward and places his arms on the table.]

Here is the first. What gives your life meaning?

[Meaning.... Does Fujiko's life have meaning? What is that meaning? Obtain everything she wants.]

Obtain everything I want so that I never need anything because if I do, I'll already have it.

[That was easy-ish. Give her another!]

[Spock raises an eyebrow briefly at that answer...no matter.]

Very well. The hypothetical question is thus...

Who is the one person, if met with mortality, that would render your life's meaning, meaningless.

[Spock continue to holds eye contact with Miss Fujiko, hoping that she sees the point...]

No one.

[Huff. Everyone's so determined to get her to say Lupin is, well joke's on them, she sees through this plot!] I mean. Myself... of course. [But that is why she is going to live forever if she has any say in it. It's hard work trying to find the secret of youth.]

[Spock nods and sits back in the chair with a half-smile.]

You sound unsure of your answer.

I'm not sure, really.

[A shrug.] Does it matter?

[Spock grins and stands like he is holding the world's greatest answer...and turns towards the stove..]

Shall I make you some tea Miss Fujiko? It has gotten quite cold of late, and I have found myself remiss of thermal wear....

If you're already making some, sure I'd love some.

[YOU ARE ANNOYING. (Fujiko thinks.) Setting her up and being secretive! Whatever Vulcan man, she is going to go back to working on her earring, and use that nail polish idea. Wee~! Actually it's cool! She prefers this. Because he was really dangerously in her head anyway and now she can give it space to work on her gameplan and make sure he doesn't suspect anything! Mwahahaha.]

[Spock wonders if Lupin informed Miss Fujiko what Vulcan's are capable of? It almost seems ironic to have a Vulcan living with two thieves...
He can tell that she is annoyed, and that she is still lying... most curious, and also a fascinating individual. He looks forward to learning more about her.]

[Spock sets the kettle on to boil...]

I am curious Miss Fujiko... what has Lupin informed you regarding my abilities?

He hasn't.

[He wouldn't need to. She vaguely remembers enough of the sixties that combined with her innate paranoia, knowing more could only make her more paranoid. She already thinks Luke is a mind-reader after all.]

[Spock tilts his head...fascinating...]

I find it interesting then that he did not inform you that a telepathic empath would be living in your apartment.

[Spock innocently reaches up into the cupboard and gets a pair of tea cups....He hopes he was not getting Lupin into trouble...]

A... what?

[Practically hiccups. She's gonna kill Lupin, yup.]

[Spock pours the tea....]

Telepathic empath. I am Vulcan, and we have, through touch, the ability to read another's thoughts and feelings... but never without their consent, so please, do not worry. However... and empath has the ability to read the feelings of another. Though it is rather muted... I can essentially 'read' if a person is lying or not.

[Spock brings the cups of tea over to the table and sits next to Miss Fujiko once more.... placing a cup in front of her.]

[Through touch... right. She takes that tea... but she's not going to drink it. Nope.]

I see. It must really go into overdrive around me and Lupin, hm?

[Okay she is taking a sip of the tea.... but only because part of her is okay with it being poisoned. Good times.]
