Someone's Checking out High Seas

[barb_notbabs]

Eyepatch, huh? You sure about this, mun? Aren't pirates supposed to be superstitious, or something? Redheaded woman on the ship, over here.

I would look pretty snazzy in a pirate outfit, though... But if you think I'm going to get along with some Anna girl, you might want to check my history.

Hmmmm, being a pirate would be kinda fun. My friends Kitty and Kurt love them.

What's wrong with red heads on ships?

[barb_notbabs]

Who knows? Something about being chatty. [Actual superstition! If you don't talk to them before they can talk to you, it's bad luck.]

[kittysdragon]

That's stupid. Red heads Heed knows are all nice and pretty.

...cept Mystique, because she's super crazy.

[barb_notbabs]

Tell me about it... [Her former best friend now goes by Poison Ivy. They used to call each other Red.]

Guess we go for the extremes.

[kittysdragon]

Well she's kinda like a shape shifting terrorist type with blue skin so yeah, super crazy.

Guess so! Anyhoo, me Lockheed, nice to meet yeh, red haired Earth lady!

[caster_blaster]

Wait, is there a stigma against redheads on ships?

[barb_notbabs]

Who knew, right? Guess sailors really do have superstitions for everything. [Specifically it's bad luck if you see a red head before you dock, unless you manage to speak to them before they talk to you; and also to have a women on board - unless she's naked, then it's all good.

The things you read...]

[caster_blaster]

I guess that disappeared a long time ago, where I'm from. Never heard any space vessel superstitions like that.

[barb_notbabs]

Space vessels, huh? [She would not have called that. But since she just got off of a space station...]

Guess it has to be a sea dock.

[fierybluebird]

My only stigma against redheads is because of Shanks, not superstition, yoi.

We have an entire crew devoted redheaded females run by a very a sexy woman and a few other assassins.

[barb_notbabs]

An entire crew of redheads, huh?

...........Assassins?

[fierybluebird]

Almost, anyway. One girl has black hair, but is a mercenary, one guy's a blond like me, but wears a lot of red.

Aye, assassins, demons, death something or others. I'm sure you'd fit in nicely, yoi.

[barb_notbabs]

Guess no club's perfect, huh? [She's teasing. Mostly. But her eyes dip a moment as she remembers the last redhead to enter her friend. Pamela Isley. Worst bestie ever.]

Thanks, but I prefer... not killing people.

[mother_nature]

Check your history?

[barb_notbabs]

[She winces. But talks on.] I didn't exactly end things well with the last redhead I befriended. [Which is to say she still misses you, but you keep trying to kill her father...]

[mother_nature]

[Whether Pam understands that she's being referred to or not is ambiguous; she keeps a pretty straight face.]

And so that colors your experiences with other redheads. Right.

By that train of thought, you shouldn't even like yourself!

[barb_notbabs]

Gee. Guess that makes me the only good one, Red.

[i_love_money]

Hmm... Well when you combine all the evidence together, I think your mun must be talking about me. There aren't too many red headed Annas in high_seas... unless one of my sisters happened to find their way here without me knowing about it.

So I'm curious, what happened with the last Anna you knew that makes you think we might not get along? Oh, and if you're looking for a pirate outfit, I can give you some excellent rates on the most fashionable trends in pirate wear, from capes, fancy feather hats, captain coats, sabers, even an a few bandannas.

[barb_notbabs]

Actually. I meant the last redhead. [Pamela Isley. Future Super villain.

She also meant a different Anna, but whatever. More Anna's are always good.]

Let's just say it ended. Badly.

[i_love_money]

Well that's a pity... are you sure she was a natural red head?

[Because clearly, that's what it was Anna.]

I won't pry or anything though since it sounds like it was probably pretty personal. So why do you think your mun has their heart set on my little corner of the rp realms?

[barb_notbabs]

[Personal. Local news worthy. Same dif.]

Something about Batbeards and pirate outfits.

Ever hear a mun giggle? She's getting a little creepy.

[justicereigns]

I find pink haired women more suspicious.

[It's a joke. He can joke. Totally.] You're not loud enough to be like Anna. [Just saying.]

[barb_notbabs]

Really? It's usually the green ones that get me. [Just the other day, she was asking if it would be too much for a pink poisonous gas!]

I can be pretty loud, sometimes... [She's more into playful snark, though.]

[justicereigns]

What's wrong with green?

Tch... can you? Fine, then maybe you'd fit in with the Straw Hats after all. So far as I can tell the only requirement is a certain degree of loud and obnoxious ear drum puncturing.

[Smoker likes playful snark too... sort of. Not that it would seem like it.]

[barb_notbabs]

Try spending a night in Gotham.


Funny how their name keeps coming up. [She's a bit quiet for them, really. More excited than loud.]
