Considering Tu Shanshu

[mopirates_moproblems]

Mundane,

No one finds this screen name amusing but you. Kindly revert me to my previous status, and then we'll discuss the business with the turtle.

Really, I thought we had an agreement that you'd save hauling me out for that ridiculous pirate holiday you insist on posting during.

( her smiles returns as she moves a step closer. ) I am glad to see that you, too, are well, James. ( a brief pause. for now, at least. he'd mentioned a game. ) Is there nothing that can be done to dissuade your mundane from sending you off to one of those awful places?

[mopirates_moproblems]

[She may notice that he's dressed much more casually than he was when they last saw each other. No uniform. No wig. What has happened to the commodore?]

I highly doubt it. She tormented me at the last one for nearly two years.

[Though... it was worth it.]

You were there, briefly, believe it or not.

[shelteredswann]

( oh. she's noticed and as expected she's not only considerably confused, but also concerned. had something happened? she's never known james to, er, "dress down". her eyes widen, a frown creasing her lips at the revelation. ) I was? ( really, because she's absolutely no recollection of that. something is most definitely wrong with him. he's acting so... strangely. ) If only I'd been able stay there, ...perhaps, then, I'd been able to make your experience more tolerable.

[mopirates_moproblems]

Actually, you seemed quite intent on berating me at every turn.

[He almost laughs at that, shaking his head slightly.] I wouldn't worry about it too much. I do appreciate the sentiment.

[shelteredswann]

...pardon? ( he's met with an icy glare. ) Excuse you, James, that was most certainly not me. ( since when had she ever berated him? pft. ) I haven't had the pleasure of actually going to one of these games... yet.

[mopirates_moproblems]

[Uhm. You're berating him right now, Miss Swann.]

Perhaps your Mundane will see fit to send you to the turtle with me, then. It looks rather exotic. I imagine you'd be quite giddy.

[shelteredswann]

( no. that's def. not true. except it is. ) and you'd actually want me there? ( levels a stare with him. ) I'd just berate you some more, right, since apparently that's all I'm capable of. ( miffed, yep. )

[mopirates_moproblems]

[He actually laughs. Good lord, what has become of the commodore she knew?]

I would like you there, in fact. I miss you.

[shelteredswann]

... ( a lot, apparently. ) Do you, ...because you certainly have an odd way is showing it.
