Upon which Mace, in turn possibly mistaking Mr. Harvey’s attempt at clarification for sarcasm, said: “Shut up, dork. The Captain’s being philo-- phylosoph-- deep. Moron.” I initially thought that Mace would act something like that, but since Danny Boyle is directing Chris this time around, I can't be too sure anymore. No, I'm sure Danny Boyle's Mace is going to be much more of a straight-shooting, heroic, stoic type. I'm just trading shamelessly on head-butting buzzcut stereotypes in this corner of the universe.... ;D

And...
My Journal, by Trey
She walks in something like the
Is it “night”? I can’t remember. I didn’t bring the book, and it’s not on file in the ship’s library.
Another something at which I do not excel. Poetry comma memorization of. I should keep a list. But that would be masochistic, wouldn’t it? If someone ever read this I’d
I’m not smart like Capa. I’m not handsome and reliable like Mace. Or passionate: Searle is passionate, about his work. About everything. I’m not. I could be loyal like Harvey or stoic and brave like Kaneda, but looking like I do would it make any difference?
She let me drive yesterday. Just for a minute. She had something she needed to do, away from the controls, something necessary, and she said, “Trey, sit here a minute, would you?”
So I did. I managed not to trip her as she got up. I managed not to stumble as I sat down. And then as she was away for those ninety seconds doing something certainly necessary I almost managed not to hit the
She said later it had no business being out this far. The satellite. The one I almost managed not to
It was very old, she said. She said other things too, at which I blushed. Not at me, no: at the satellite, and how it had no business, and how those who shoot junk into space ought to be sent out with garbage bags and pointy sticks to clean up once a [bleep]ing century or so. She even made a joke: “Next fifty thousand miles adopted by the Jupiter Elks,” or something like that. But: the satellite. She said it was old, and that the scouring it had taken for all these years, the bombardment of dust and micro-particles and the tiniest of meteorites and heat and cold and radiation, all that had thinned its skin, and when it touched our shields it simply disintegrated. Just a touch and: gone. I know she’s right. Still, I think
Someday we will be that satellite.
Mace made a joke. “Nice flying, dumbass!” But he smiled when he said it, and he and Harvey went to check the shields, and they said the shields were fine. And Kaneda wasn’t angry. At me. More importantly, not at
Wait:
She walks in beauty like the night.
There. I remember.

I like that poem too. But yeah, Benedict/Trey seems not to get any love on this board, except the idea that he's going to bungle the mission (or anything). Perhaps we should work on that. I also like the way he doesn't finish his sentences. ^^

"I play Mace; he's the ship's mechanic. He's the straight-shooter on the ship: honest, a little detached - he's not the most bubbly fellow." Yup, he said that.

At least I am now comforted at the thought that other people get struck with movie couple crushes, too.

Hey, thanks, ebony07! Glad you enjoyed it. Capa's and Mace's were the most fun to write: they were the biggest headtwisters, style-wise!
