Old Muse Returns~

[strangertides]

The way I see it, I've got two choices. One, I go along with whatever scheme you cook up and pretend to be chummy with a bunch of people I don't know - or two, I shut me mouth and pretend our paths never crossed.

[His lips twist unhappily and he leans back.]

But, really, where's the fun in ignoring the possibility of other worlds? As long as they've got open water and you don't separate me from my ship, how can I complain?


Unless there's no rum. Or wenches. A man can't go long without them.

You have a ship? [Jeannie is curious for asking. Her empty bottle nearby.] What sort of ship? Merchant? Military?

[strangertides]

Wouldn't be much of a Captain if I didn't. [A lady with a bottle. It's a shame the bottle is empty.]

Pirate.

[genie_lady]

[The bottle isn't always empty, it's her home.]

[Gasp!] A pirate?? How dangerous...

[promiseofredemption]

[There is so much distaste in his expression right now. Ugh.]

Just as long as you remain far away as possible, and preferably downwind. Shall we ever find ourselves under the very unfortunate circumstances of meeting again, I will most certainly pretend not to know you.

[strangertides]

[Aw he loves you too!]

You should be more honest with yourself. We've got a nice friendship, you and I, I and you. [He spreads his arms.] Can you imagine what we could do together? It's not like that uniform means much in another world.

Oh, man, a pirate!

Unless you're one of those people who frequent the Renn Faires and try and suck up all the cheap beer.

But how many places are large enough for a ship? Unless you have one you keep in a bottle?
