As in all things, Gar found a reason to talk about himself. "It's fun! I had to learn fencing for an episode of Space Trek 2022 when my character fought Star Buccaneers. It probably says a lot about Space Trek that they could take a concept like space pirates and fuck it up."
And back home, he was probably missing a Space Trek convention right about now. What a tragedy.
"Do fencers get cheerleaders? I'll cheerlead. Doll myself up in a skirt and a tight sweater with your school colors, wave some pom poms around... I'll distract your opponents with sheer, refined sexy, so you'll have a completely unfair advantage."
