1st bottle of Rum

[andajarofdirt]

ſo now that this unpleaſant "creepy ſea beaſtie that is not actually a ſea beaſtie at all but none the leſs was very much beaſtial" buſſineſs is over

and given how i think i might have finally figured out how this place works

who would be ſo kind as to point me to the rum floor?

[Well, the good news, animus, is that he's not hopelessly illiterate! The bad news is that he's also not all that bad with computers either the capslock/shift key is just elusive, that's all. The worse news is that he's still a troll, and now he's gonna troll your network with his fancy 18th century typeface. Savvy?]

and completely true as well.

[atouchofstrife]

I suppose it is.

[andajarofdirt]

you should try, you might turn out to be a pirate after all.

[atouchofstrife]

Actually I'm an ecco-terrorist.

[andajarofdirt]

i have abſolutely no idea what that is, except perhaps someone who causes terror through judicious uſe of echo. but hey, being a pirate is a non excluſive job. you might diſcover you were a pirate all along, and you juſt did not know it.

[atouchofstrife]

...It's someone who uses terror tactics to preserve nature.

Maybe I am. I always did go into people's houses to take their stuff.

[andajarofdirt]

never had a chat with a goddeſs of nature, have you. they do not really need much preſerving.

ſee? you even have the basics down already.

[atouchofstrife]

Yes and no. They don't exactly come out any more.

People usually have the best stuff in their houses. [ Shrugs like it was nothing. Some hero of the world. ]

[andajarofdirt]

well, then you ſhould be glad for that.

they do. including the beſt rum.

[atouchofstrife]

Little hard to keep the old ways when they are all sealed away.

I liked dumbapple cider.

[andajarofdirt]

the problem with that is that people eventually forget we ſealed things for a reason. and then it comes back to haunt you.

never tried it, but apples are good, ſo it probably was too.

[atouchofstrife]

[ Well, things are a bit different in Gaia, Jack. ] No, they sealed themselves away because humans were too dumb to listen.

There are few dumbapples left. The largest groves were destroyed.

[andajarofdirt]

but why are always the good things gone?

[atouchofstrife]

Because there are people in the world who just can't appreciate them.

[andajarofdirt]

an then fieſty blonds set them on fire too.

[atouchofstrife]

I didn't mean to set them all on fire.

...Some of it was another guy's fault.

[andajarofdirt]

that is what ſhe said.

[atouchofstrife]

...I guess they would.

Hard to take back the planet when another guy is running around wanting to destroy all of it.

[andajarofdirt]

In my experience, there is always ſomeone trying to destroy everything. Uſually juſt because. Better accept it as a fact of life, and move on.

[atouchofstrife]

I would if they wouldn't start something against me or my friends.

[andajarofdirt]

some one will always be ſtarting ſomething, though. it is what makes it fun.

[atouchofstrife]

...I suppose you could call it that.

[andajarofdirt]

as you ſhould, makes everything more intereſting.

[atouchofstrife]

I've had enough interesting to last me a couple life times.

[andajarofdirt]

you ſay that now, but boredom always comes back.
