On his (hopefully) upcoming intro at Last Voyages... (canon is The Wire)

[omar]

Ayo, "port" this, "port" that. What you keep talking about the port for? Ain't nothin' 'round there but the convention center and a bunch of boats. Ain't no place for me.

...You want me to wake up where?

...Oh, the afterlife sound like it's gonna be good.

[umgekehrt]

Oh, you've no idea what fresh hell you're in for.

[omar]

Sound like my kind of party, really.

[umgekehrt]

It'd make an addition to the festive inmates aboard if you show up, then.

Stark's party enough for most of us, but then again perhaps the place you're being threatened with could use a little more general celebration.

Of a sort.

[omar]

[That just brings a grin to his face.] Oh, I'm always happy to bring the fun.

Who's this Stark? Can't say as I know the name.

[umgekehrt]

Stark, Tony. Roughish, brilliant sort. Attractive in an un-kempt way but lamentably monogamous.

I think he's some sort of engineer. Capacity for alcohol must be a shared trait of the species.

[surfaceshine]

Ports are pretty much the best thing to talk about. At least people don't get swapped around from who they are for 'em.

Mostly.

[omar]

What you mean, swapped around?

[surfaceshine]

Oh, not talking about that, then?

I mean it gets better: sometimes, there's floods and breaches, neither of which have to do with the actual ship or damage to it mind you, and they're a real barrel of monkeys. Wake up one day and you're ten years old, or a chick. Wake up three days later and back to normal.

[omar]

What? Shortie didn't mention none of that, man.

[It's possible that his mun is going to be in trouble for this.]

She said I was lookin' forward to three days of paradise!

[surfaceshine]

Shortie? [Brow quirk.]

Oh, you are. She has a thing for booting people into the midst of events far as I can tell? So enjoy it.

[sund8]

Ain't that a prison?

HI HELLO THIS IS JESSE-MUN TOO

[omar]

I just came from prison, and this don't sound like no Jessup, that's for sure.

LMAO OMG RP IS SUCH A SMALL WORLD HI :D

[sund8]

My mun was lookin' to throw me there. Say it sounds like a prison to me, ese. I'd watch my back if I were you.

[omar]

Yeah, well, as it turn out, that was sort of the problem in the last joint. [Says the shiv in his back.]

[sund8]

Then I doubt you'll survive.

[lesliemonster]

It's not the afterlife! You're actually alive. Congratulations!

[omar]

I got a memory or two says different, but ain't no need to split hairs.

[lesliemonster]

You were dead, granted. It looks like someone decided that you deserve a second chance.

[omar]

I think he and I might have a disagreement on what that second chance is to be used for.

[lesliemonster]

What do you think it ought to be used for?

[carcetti]

The afterlife?

What, like purgatory or some bullshit like that?

Holy shit!

[omar]

Maybe.

Gonna be a long one, if so.

My exact thoughts at seeing an Omar around, oh man.

[carcetti]

I guess there wouldn't be any point in asking about an absentee ballot.

My condolences. Never thought the afterlife'd be a whole lot of fun.

I guess there are TWO OF US

[omar]

...think maybe you don't know who I am, or I'm not so sure you be saying either of those things, all due respect and all.

o3o

[carcetti]

[ Tommy hesitates, brow pinching but smoothing out by reflex. He's spent enough time going door-to-door that he's gotten better at staying relatively neutral no matter what comes up, but there's still a bit of a petulant streak underneath. So he nods, pushing the conversation along. ]

Oh?
