033 - Grasshopper

[deadly_ned]

I realize this is sort of coming out of left field. It's so far left that it's left the field and into the parking lot adjacent to said field.

But.


Is there anyone here who could help me build a catapult?


It's for a friend.

[No comment on that last part...]

I know. I like that about you. Can't say the same for more than half this barge. [Himself included, if he's being honest. There are some people he'd not think twice about punching if he thought he could get away with it.]

[deadly_ned]

Most of the Barge isn't so bad. With a few very large exceptions.

Who are you having trouble with?

[neverfeltbetter]

Ned, who am I always having trouble with?

[deadly_ned]

Oh. Right. The, uh.

[The Piemaker waves a hand in front of his face. This is clearly an accurate representation of You Know Who]

Him.


And Arthas.

And please don't talk to Hannibal, but other than that, I haven't...run into any exceptionally terrible people.

[neverfeltbetter]

[It's good enough.]

Yeah, him.

I talked to Hannibal once already. But we were in public, don't worry. I'm not planning on making a habit of it.

[He's still not over that stupid picture Hannibal drew.]

[deadly_ned]

Good. Just. Good. Stay off his radar. If you can.

[There is some underlying trauma hidden in that sentence]

[neverfeltbetter]

[It's not even that hidden. But Crichton still isn't sure he wants the details.]

Might be too late. Did you happen to see his little art show?

[deadly_ned]

He asked me to help cater it.

[neverfeltbetter]

I found out the hard way, I was one of the subjects pictured.

[deadly_ned]

I'm sorry. I would say he didn't mean it personally but that doesn't make it any better.

[neverfeltbetter]

Hit pretty close to home either way.

[deadly_ned]

I know.

If you do have to associate with him, just. Be polite. He likes polite.

[neverfeltbetter]

Ned, I'm not very good at polite. [Especially with people he's somewhat still pissed at.]

[deadly_ned]

I just don't want him to feed me your liver.

[neverfeltbetter]

You're not actually Joking about that are you?

Okay, okay. I'll be on my best behavior.

[deadly_ned]

It couldn't hurt.
