“Solid Snake is an infiltration expert who always completes his mission, no matter how difficult the odds.”
I am pretty certain that the soundtrack playing inside Elim Garak’s head, all the time, is The Smiths.
You can hear it when he goes by if you listen really hard.
All the Ferengi are super into “Ask”, and Julian sometimes hums “How Soon Is Now” while he’s working.
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I’m miserable now
In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don’t care if I live or die
Two lovers entwined pass me by
and heaven knows I’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows I’m miserable now
In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don’t care if I live or die
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
and I naturally fled
In my life
why do I smile
at people who I’d much rather kick in the eye
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
but heaven knows I’m miserable now
“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
and I naturally fled
In my life
why do I give valuable time
to people who don’t care if I live or die

Typo: “If ou needed it”. Moments of joy: Kukalaka goes in first, of course he does, and playing cards, and the final essentials were just what needed to be in there.
Thanks! And racquet too! Yeesh.
And really, I just have a deep-seated need to see the two of them on the floor, Garak in rumpled standard-wear and Julian in skivvies, playing Go Fish.
Although–ah ha ha!–Cardassian memory training meets enhanced eidetic memory, and so it might be an awfully short game!
“Let’s play War again. That one’s much better.”
Eventually they have Parmak over and play a spirited game of Bullshit. Cardassians are good at Bullshit.
Okay, I just saw a post about how “Chief O'Brien can’t stand Dr. Bashir, let’s stick them together in every episode,” and the thought of it just cracked me up, like:
Maybe this is how you work your way into Miles O'Brien’s heart: by repeated, daily abrasion.
Maybe when he met Keiko Ishikawa on the Enterprise–on an ill-fated double-date? Who knows?–she was abrasive as hell and rode his ass about every little thing he did throughout the whole date and finished off by beating his ass at bowling, and when he got home he just shuddered, like, Thank God that’s over, because I cannot stand that woman.
But he kept running into her. Every day. The Enterprise is only so big, after all, and they both kept ending up in Ten-Forward at the same time, or sitting next to each other at concerts, or awkwardly running into each other at the gym, and of course they had the same friends, so he just couldn’t get away from her, and every time it was the same thing:
“Oh, hi, Miles.” With disdain.
“Nice shirt, Miles. Did you not know this was a formal event?” With a brow raised.
And he just grits his teeth and smiles. “Hello, Keiko.”
And it’s every day, every day, until one day he doesn’t see her, and that night he’s putting on his pyjamas and cleaning his teeth and climbing into bed and he can’t quite fall asleep, something’s wrong, something’s missing…
But the next day he sees her as he passes the botany lab. He leans in to wave a hello. She looks up at him and smiles for half a second before frowning. “Aren’t you going to be late for your shift?”
And he falls in love, right there. By slow, repeated, scraping abrasion, Keiko Ishikawa has tunnelled right into his heart.
And who knows. Maybe it’s the same with Julian. Maybe it’s I hate that guy, I hate that guy, over and over he sees him, God damn it, paired on another mission, and then one day Dr. Bashir’s gone off to do something and Miles says to Keiko, “Thank God, at least there’s one day I won’t have to put up with Dr. God’s Gift To Humanity.”
Keiko just smiles. She knows.
And then she gives him shit about something.

you can tell the most absurd lies to a cat pretty much whenever you want and there are literally no consequences
Okay, I don’t, why–

“And are we comfortable now?”
Mrow, said the cat.
“And are we going to try to claw my pants again?”
Mrow.
“Do you know, I think we’re developing quite the rapport.”
Rrow.
“Julian will be pleased, won’t he.”
Brrt, and the cat rubbed its chin against his hand.
“Do you know, I am the king of Cardassia?”
Mrrt.
“Mmm. And do you know, in secret, I meet with the heads of both the Federation and the Romulan Empire?”
Mrrrrt.
“No, it’s true. Last week, in fact. In my shop.”
A disapproving glare. He started rubbing again, and the cat’s eyes closed.
“Too much? I think it’s plausible, don’t you?”
Rrrrrr.
“Also, I once led a mission to the heart of the Klingon Empire.”
Mrrt.
“No, it’s true! Myself and three stalwart friends, and we battled Klingons left and right–and at the end, they called us glorious.”
Rrrrr.
“You’re right. That is a good one. Remind me to drop it in Julian’s ear.”
Brrrrow.
“More to the left? Of course. Anything for such a good listener.”
