[ Somewhat less ruffled than the first time he transmitted a video, but only just, Gaius Baltar sits in view of the camera, nursing a cigarette, and looking faintly disturbed. He is also dressed like a pirate, from the elegant open-throated shirt through to gold-buttoned waistcoat. The bandanna has been left to hang around his neck, and there are a couple of rings on his fingers that are somewhat chunky and antiquated.

They glint a little as he takes another drag from his cigarette. It's a self-medicating technique so he doesn't freak out at people over phones again. He's just spent a few days believing he was a pirate, never you mind. When he poses his question, it's quite measured; ]

Does this happen very often?

It happens most often! A few times a month, at least.

Is there a calendar somewhere? So I know to be inside and not come out when it hits. [ Not expecting a positive answer, there. ]

There is no calendar. You must accept them, like one accepts a storm appearing on the horizon.

[tobecaprican]

Right. Lovely, very poetic an analogy, if a little rain was anything like being turned into a pirate for a few days.

I mean. Not that it couldn't have been worse, but it's a little invasive.

You were a pirate? How novel!

Yes, most are as such. But there are lessons held within each of them.

[tobecaprican]

I was. As far as-- having my memories and personality and experiences and skillsets and clothing switched out for something else, it wasn't half bad.

I fail to see its didactic value, however, but I'm sure you're right on behalf of some.

Ah, see? You have found some good within it. You have achieve.

I am right on the behalf of all. You merely need to look hard.

I wish I could be nearly as enlightened as you are.

I have been feeling most enlightened lately.
