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?

[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...]

[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.]

[caster_blaster]

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

[kittysdragon]

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

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

[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.

[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!

[barb_notbabs]

Call me Barbara. [Or Barb. But she'll do unpleasant things if you call her Babs.]

[caster_blaster]

Just old-world thinkin', that's all.

[barb_notbabs]

Let me guess. You're not the superstitious sort, are you?

[caster_blaster]

Nah, I make my own luck.

[barb_notbabs]

Funny. I make my own gear.

[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.

[fierybluebird]

Eh?

You're not much of a pirate then, eh?

But you might get along with Korra or the Straw Hats. Or are you more of a Justice-hero type? [Despite his usual deadpan, he still makes an annoyed face at that.]

[barb_notbabs]

What's wrong with justice? [She is! But it's Korra/Straw hat style justice. Some laws were made to be broken, and just because you call yourself the Navy doesn't mean you get to bully people around.]

[fierybluebird]

I'm a pirate. Just guess how fond I am of those who call themselves soldiers of justice, and make it their objective to kill anyone they deem a monster.

[barb_notbabs]

Funny. Last time I checked, murder wasn't justice.

[fierybluebird]

It is when it's law.

They consider criminals to have forfeited all expectations to anything other than death.

After all, we are but pests in need of extermination, yoi.

[No don't talk justice with Marco, he's really really biased.]

[kittysdragon]

Barb...a...ra. Barbara. Ok, it's nice to meet yeh, Barbara. You're a super hero like Heed too huh?

[barb_notbabs]

Not exactly... [The best super hero. But secret identities are a thing.]

My pop's the police commissioner.
