Mun's been reading old childhood favorites, sob.

[theclassiest]

Now, look here, Miss Mun. I do appreciate this, I really do. I rather fancy myself the adventuring sort. Only Wendy will become terribly cross with me if you keep me locked up in your, er, head, for too long. You know how girls are. Not to offend present company!

But what do you mean when you say you can't find a game suitable for a child? Is not a game child's play by its very nature?

And finally (and, rest assured, most importantly)...

...Where is my hat?

These muns seem a little crazy.

My daddy will be mad too.

[theclassiest]

Then we mustn't let him catch you, or he'll spoil the fun! Fathers can be so formidable...

[workedthecase]

My daddy is the best though. He's like a superhero. He puts bad guys away.

[theclassiest]

Oh. My father's just a banker.

Bad guys! Like pirates?

This may just be the most adorable convo ever.

[workedthecase]

People that hurt other people. But I bet he'd put pirates away too!

Oh my goodness IKR?

[theclassiest]

Then your father, I say, is a true gentleman! A gentleman worth praise!

But I fear that I have not been a gentleman at all. Hullo, I'm John. Who are you?

[workedthecase]

Hi John. I'm Jack!

[Holds his hand out to shake like he watches daddy do.]

[never_grewup]

Hello, John. Ready for more adventures?

[hctiwknip]

It is rather peculiar isn't it how difficult it can be to find a game more appropriate for all ages? Adults sometimes forget how nice the simpler games can be. It has to be all about pushing the limit these days I suppose.

[gunnerbrat]

There aren't many children in the place the mun put me.

[theclassiest]

A pleasure to meet you, Jack! [And John shakes hands, reflecting with gladness that there's hope for the civilized world.]

[theclassiest]

Peter Pan, I might have known!

I am quite ready, and excited with it. Only I've got to find my hat first. A gentleman must wear a hat when he is outdoors, buccaneering or no.

[theclassiest]

I couldn't agree more, madam! Would that your insight were an example to all! I suppose adults are so very old that they have forgotten what fun looks like. They must be serious and stodgy all the time, even when they play their games.

[theclassiest]

I don't know that that's a good thing, I should hate to have only adults for company. But where did your mun place you?

[hctiwknip]

[Polite giggle and a bit of blush in her cheeks]

I would hope that our generation will be better about maintaining our inner child and sense of wonder.

[never_grewup]

Good. Well then, John. Get your hat and be ready to duel with some pirates!

[gunnerbrat]

There's plenty of teenagers.

I'm used to working with adults, so I don't mind.

[ The rest of Captain Hook's crew is all grown up.]

I'm in some place called Star Kingdom. It's based on something called a video game. It has all this amazing future technology and its own Neverland, though it's the Disney one. Their version of the Cap'n is a fop.
