dusting off an old muse!

[piratebooty]

...

This name.

You jest, do you not?

[freeskies]

Rather low class for us, isn't it?

[throw_stone]

'Tis not common for muns to give us dignified names.

[killerrabbit]

It... is a bit crass, yes.

[piratebooty]

I should like to believe so. Some might find it fitting.

[freeskies]

Well, there are other, more creative ways to dispel of an unfortunate nickname. After all, a simple journal name is not the definition of you and I as a team.

[piratebooty]

I see no fault in yours.

[piratebooty]

At the least.

[ She's not finding it terribly amusing. ]

[throw_stone]

Being a squire is not just about throwing stones - yet, whenever she speaks of my job, 'tis all she jokes about. I'd rather not be joked at by my mundane - it is embarrasing, Madame.
[Hey, c'mon, Ramza. I also joke about the chicken thing. C:
he's also sour that i mostly use the WoTL translation while his username is a psx translation thing, but whatever.]
I suppose yours is rather worse, however. If only we could convince them to part with their money, to give such a lady a fitting title.

[thanklesswork]

I'll be sure to keep on the lookout for pirates, miss.

[Is he being serious or not? It's a mystery.]

[piratebooty]

Our reputation precedes us, for good or for ill.

[ She has a hard time believing "booty" will be taken seriously, however. ]

[piratebooty]

I understand; she is demeaning your rank.

[ Unfortunate. ]

Worse? It is ill-intended. An investment would be a gesture of kindness.

[ Emphasis on the last part. ]

[freeskies]

I think I prefer it that way. The attention does have a certain appeal to it.

[piratebooty]

...

[ Either way, it's somewhat entertaining. ]

An altruist.

[piratebooty]

Let us hope this does not make the papers.

[thanklesswork]

Just doin' my part, is all. You never knew when a ship full of tasteless jokes might come to shore.

Makes you feel any better, this name's kind of a jab itself.

[freeskies]

Let the papers talk.

It makes things more interesting, regardless of their veracity. I'm rather fond of it.

[piratebooty]

Should your suffering ease my own?

[ She doesn't think so. ]

[thanklesswork]

I'm used to workin' with folks stuck in the same mess. Thought it mighta helped a little.

[He's modest about it. He's not really much of a people person.]

[piratebooty]

Your mood is high, today.

[freeskies]

It's been awhile, I'm glad for the freedom, though I daresay I wouldn't wish for more.

[piratebooty]

It's unfortunate this is common.

[thanklesswork]

That and the whole 'toss a buncha strangers together into some fine mess and see what happens' thing. They've just got a taste for trouble, those mundanes.

[piratebooty]

That hasn't stopped you yet.

[freeskies]

Oh, I wouldn't say that I've received a cease and desist notice, at least not yet. In fact, making myself more infamous is rather standard fair. But, messages boards really don't seem quite grandiose enough. Far too limited in possibility.

I'm confident enough that I won't be forgotten any time soon, however. Impressions matter, after all.

[piratebooty]

I remember those days, though I do not recall fondly.

[ Hush, you had some fun. ]

[piratebooty]

One would be hard pressed to forget you, if they wished it or not.

[ Take that as you will! ]

It should not take long to find wings again.
