[Locked against the Marquis de Carabas]

I would be very grateful and in debt to the rest of the Barge if no one told the Marquis I'd come back to warden a second time.

I realize it's not a ruse that can be held up for very long, as far as ruses go, but I'm very much at peace after having kissed my girlfriend and I'd like for that peace to last as long as possible.

Please. It's important.


[Locked to Lua]

I can...take over some of the kitchen work that needs doing now. Now that we've lost people. I'm a gap-filler.


[Locked to Alpha]

Sooo...


You need a job.

[deadly_ned]

It's worth a try.

I still can't believe you spoke to Chuck!

[routemistress]

Well, I wanted to meet 'er. And it didn't seem right to intrude on your together time.

[ALL THE INNOCENTFAIS.]

[deadly_ned]

It's intruding when we're together in the same bed and all she can talk about is how fascinating you were and whether everyone on the Barge was just as fascinating.

[routemistress]

[Primly.]

I can't 'elp it if I'm more fun than you are, lovey.

[And then she cracks up.]

...I call shenanigans, mister, I saw 'ow she looked when she talked about you.

[deadly_ned]

....To be fair the talking about you was not as long as I'm empathizing.


She talked about me?

[routemistress]

She loves you, poppet, why wouldn't she?

[deadly_ned]

She also loves stories of far-off places and interesting people she'd like to meet.

[routemistress]

And she really loves stories about 'ow brilliant the bloke she loves is being in those places. With those people.

[deadly_ned]

I wouldn't say brilliant. More like constantly in a state of bafflement and terror.

[routemistress]

That just makes the brilliant that much better, petal.

[deadly_ned]

You're very kind to say.
