002 ☠ voice [Action for Floor Ten]

Judging from the enthusiasm present in our lovely abode and the current fare offered, along with the so thoughtful warnings, I expect they be a sign of...Bright days ahead, aye?

What's this nonsense about this being a 'Jason month'.

It isn't a small hat. I will admit that. How has it survived the storms of the sea I wonder?

Voice

[justguidelines]

[Why is everyone always distracted by the hat's size. Seriously.] It's a unique talent.

Voice

[true_noir]

[They're trying not to make compensation jokes.]

Everyone has to have one. I rather like mine, myself.

Voice

[justguidelines]

[He is totally not compensating, okay. Whatever has been said to the contrary is a lie.]

Aye? And what would that be.

Voice

[true_noir]

Evisceration, Perforation and a playful style of electrical torture. All very handy talents from time to time.

Voice

[justguidelines]

[...Haha, wow, yeah, okay, then.]

Aye, I could see where that might...Have its advantages, I suppose.

Voice

[true_noir]

[She likes joking about being a killer. What can I say?]

At times. Sadly, without my master or mistress, there's not as much call for it... but it is good to stay in practice.

Voice

[justguidelines]

I would say the same would go for me and me sword arm, but as it stands, I've had little cause or time to make use of it.

Voice

[true_noir]

You generally avoid the monsters, I take it? They aren't entirely impossible to avoid.

Voice

[justguidelines]

As much as possible. I'm sad to say my form and balance be not what it once was, and trying to do more would be tempting fate in a way I'd not wish to.

Voice

[true_noir]

At least you recognize your limitations... or are acceptably good at posing as past your prime and harmless. How many around here are neither, I wonder.

Voice

[justguidelines]

Past me prime...Lass, I'll be nigh on sixty, give or take a couple of years. Past me prime might be gilding the lily, aye?

But harmless...An old snake is still a snake.

Voice

[true_noir]

You never know sometimes. The worlds people come from are strange places. I've learned not to judge a book by its cover around here.

Oh, out of curiosity, how did that beach visit go for you?

Voice

[justguidelines]

And so you shouldn't. Me lack of form has nothing to do with me advanced age. Everything to do with this damned wooden peg leg.

Found naught worth going for, honestly. It's not my sea, and it's not home.

Voice

[true_noir]

Ah, you were trying to fulfill something from your own world, were you?

Voice

[justguidelines]

That be a fruitless endeavor if there ever was one, or so I'd think. Thought perhaps I might find some...Leverage there.

Voice

[true_noir]

Leverage never hurts, so long as it's the sort the other party will pay attention to.

Voice

[justguidelines]

Aye, the trouble be finding it. Or so it seems.

Re: Voice

[true_noir]

Depends on the soul. The battle here is that most of us truly have nothing to lose, and without any real policing, little to repay us other than personal vengeance.

Voice

[justguidelines]

It might sound patronizing, lass, but where I'm from it's not that much different.

Voice

[true_noir]

Then you are accustomed to working with very little and managing to find something? Good. You seem well suited to thriving one way or another.

Voice

[justguidelines]

That be a pirate captain's job, whether he wants it or not. I figure this can be treated no differently.

Re: Voice

[true_noir]

It really only changes the methods, not the general principles. You know... considering that we are talking about at the moment, it occurs to me that an offer is fitting. Is there anything you have a need for?

After all, trading favors is one of our only commodities at the moment.

Voice

[justguidelines]

So I've noticed. But unless you can rustle us up some rum, lass, can't say as there's much I'd need.

Voice

[true_noir]

I will keep an eye out, but I make no promises. Alcohol is harder to come across here.
