once upon a time style wendy darling (pirate queen, esq.)

[ohdarling]

I'm finding it ever so difficult to imagine what might possess me to wed Tinkerbell, no matter what details of my identity I was, most unfortunately, not privy to at the time.

[distingue]

It's one thing to wed a fairy, but quite another to be subsequently divorced by one.

[ohdarling]

Whatever makes you think it were she left me?

[ don't even play like that isn't exactly what happened, wendy. ]

[distingue]

I haven't the slightest.

[ohdarling]

[ witness this total, deliberate lack of elaboration on the details. ]

Good riddance to her, I say! You know how little I care to be kept so jealously.

[distingue]

Don't I just? Not even in these modern times, so it would seem.

[ohdarling]

The difference is cosmetic, I fear, for here I am treading again the same tiresome waters.

[distingue]

Say it isn't so, my beauty, for I heard you were too to be kind. Imagine that?

[ohdarling]

Am I not kind to you, James? Perhaps it's only you're to be grateful.

[distingue]

Nay, thou art heartless, a most pitiless wench that I ever did suffer into my quarters.

[ohdarling]

I heard no word of complaint whilst I were there, my very dearest, and I thank you to recall to your mind which of us brought a weapon into proceedings.

[ be real she does not actually have a problem with the hook. ]

[distingue]

I never said your cruelty didn't have a certain charm.

[ohdarling]

I can't but think you admire it when I so often hear you taking the lion's share of credit for it. [ acerbic ]

[distingue]

Should it not flatter you to know that Captain James Hook, fiercest of all those who dare rule the seven seas, so often attributes his name to your deeds?

[ohdarling]

I don't doubt that it should please you, if it did.

[distingue]

You have me there.

[ohdarling]

In my fist, my love, but still I remain my own creature, and not yours.

[euphemism]

I, well, I suppose she must've been a lovely person?

[ohdarling]

If you like that sort of thing.

[euphemism]

It's generally, I think, well, it's generally the done thing.

[ohdarling]

Yes, well, evidently I came to my senses.

[euphemism]

Isn't it? At least, I mean, that's what you say on paper.

Do you 'say on paper'?

Oh, hell.

[ohdarling]

Oh, poppet, goodness only knows. One says anything one likes in a place such as this, I expect.

[euphemism]

Good! Good, I mean, not that that's great, but that you don't mind that I went off into cloud, into cloud-cuckoo land.

I rabbit off.

Sometimes.

Rambling. Sort of. When ...

I should stop.

[absurdism]

I can't help but wonder how many surprises there will eventually be.

[ohdarling]

Oh, unending- of that I am sure.

[absurdism]

A part of me finds it adventurous, but I'm not quite sure how the rest feels yet.

[ohdarling]

I must say, my pet, that I far prefer my adventures to be my own.

[absurdism]

I suppose I am far too used to having my adventures chosen for me.

[ohdarling]

That can soon be mended, angel, never fear.

[absurdism]

Oh, I have no doubts about that.
