On her app sent to paradisa / Canon is Bodacious Space Pirates

[plundersbooty]

Hey, Mun, don't fret too much over this app! You blazed through as you should and did your best, so don't regret a thing about this, okay? That's the only way to get ahead is to push on through and stay steady on your course!

[The captain gives a big, wide smile]

Even though you took away that from me, I'm sure there will be plenty of other things for me to do once I've docked, so sit tight and let us just hope not everyone's locked their doors!

[She then puts a finger out, pointing, her other hand on her saber's hilt]

It's time for some piracy, Mun! And I won't have any stragglers holding me down, so look happily towards our future together at that castle!

A real, honest-to-goodness pirate? Wow! That's great! You'll have to tell us all your best swashbuckling stories.

[plundersbooty]

[Tips her cap up.]

Of course I am! I see my crew's reputation reaches even here. But if you provide a seat and spotlight, I'll provide the entertainment! It's what we do best, after all!

[ectobabble]

What kind of entertainment? [Ray is all for this, he really is, because pirates are so exciting. he's still a little sad he got stuck on the cruise ship while a lot of people got to play pirate last summer] Are you singing pirates?

[waterproofed]

Pirate, huh? Cool.

[plundersbooty]

In the flesh!

[Have a grand sweeping motion off her cape]

My reputation really is preceding me around here, I'm impressed.

[waterproofed]

Well, not exactly. We got to be pirates a while back.

[forgedinbattle]

Oh. A pirate. Great. [You're not immortal and/or cursed by Poseidon, are you?]

[plundersbooty]

[No, just oh so very 16 years old.

Though blink. That's some costume. She's sure you'd fit right in with her classmates. She can tell what kind of tone you're carrying, though.]

Yeah I am, who might you be? We don't do refunds, I'm sorry.

[forgedinbattle]

Most pirates don't. [Hey, it's not a costume. It's armor, thankyouverymuch.]

The name's Xena.

[plundersbooty]

Well than, Xena, no use in hiding myself. Wouldn't be fun that way.

[Yeah sure it isn't. You don't want to meet her yacht club then.

She sweeps her cape up high and smirks, pointing at you.]

I'm Captain Marika Kato of the Bentenmaru! Surely, we can work this out; I can't leave a customer unsatisfied, now can I?

[forgedinbattle]

Aren't you a little young to be a captain?

[plundersbooty]

Does it matter so long as I do my job right? I've got the passion required of the title.

[forgedinbattle]

I'm not crazy about the idea of a kid with blood on her hands.

[plundersbooty]

W-what? I've not done anything like that! I try to make sure everyone's happy before leaving, not dead!

[forgedinbattle]

[Well now you've got Xena looking at you like you're nuts. Congratulations.]

What kind of pirate doesn't kill people? Kinda part of the job description, isn't it?

[plundersbooty]

[Look at this face]

Unless you're another pirate or the government, I've no use in battling you nor killing you. I steal gold, not lives, miss!

[forgedinbattle]

[LONG PAUSE GOES HERE.]

Huh. That's kinda refreshing.

[plundersbooty]

[Kind of just...staring back. Trying to keep a cool pose and an even tone.]

Pirates are those that wish to live free; anything else would be going against everything we stand for and everything I've come to lead.

[forgedinbattle]

Where I come from they're little more than warlords on water- taking advantage of anybody weaker than they are and leaving a trail of blood behind them.

[plundersbooty]

[Going back to being red. No, she's stubborn, but she's not vicious.]

That's...I'm sorry to hear that, but that's definitely not how I run my ship. And not on water, either.

[forgedinbattle]

Seems like I'm the one that owes you an apology, then. [Wait. What?] What else would you sail on?

[plundersbooty]

It's okay, you didn't mean any harm. I think, at least.

[Crisis averted!

She then points upwards.]

The stars.

[forgedinbattle]

....


You can do that?

[plundersbooty]

Most everyone can. We've a yacht club at school that encourages everyone to try, and that's where I learned! It's the main way to travel.

[forgedinbattle]

[She whistles] I've seen some crazy things, but that's something else.

[plundersbooty]

Really? It's pretty much required to get anywhere now! What kind of planet doesn't have a spaceship? Bah, you should get on one sometime! It's the only way to sail!

[unvengefully]

A pirate, hm? Sounds fun.

[plundersbooty]

It beats studying, at least. No matter how much I should do it anyways.

[unvengefully]

I can agree to that. If it came down to pirating or studying, I'd become the world's first ninja-pirate in a heartbeat.

[plundersbooty]

I don't think there are any ninja around space. At least not last I checked. Wouldn't the lack of gravity make that hard?

[unvengefully]

You're space pirates?

I don't know about making it hard, but it sounds fun at least.

[plundersbooty]

What else are you going to do for fun in the vast sea of stars?

But that's good! You won't survive out there without that kind of attitude! You have to give it your all and push on through regardless of what's in your way.

[unvengefully]

I can do that. Especially if there are girls as cute as you around to encourage me.

[plundersbooty]

[Dis face]

T-that's not how you talk to a superior officer!
