[016] red like jungle burning bright -- accidental visual

[notafuckingnut]

Now what do we have here.  I get what's goin' on here, don't think I don't.

This here's what we call an Indian trade; you let me think I'm gettin' you this big bad schnitzel-eatin' sonuvabitch when really you're just handin' us all back over to the Krauts.  Thought you could get one over on me, dintcha.  Well HA, 'cause the joke's on you, now ain't

[ okay who's the guy on Richie's journal - he sounds like he came back from the war like when she was a kid and wasn't the same after, but... ] ...where'd you think you were?

[notafuckingnut]

Well, I was pullin' a two man escort service back to base to turn over one of the wiliest Jew-haters I have ever had the displeasure of meetin'. But instead I find myself in this here room without so much as an apology or a letter of appreciation.

...Why?

[He'd be suspicious of her, but she looks like a young girl. Clearly she's okay.]

[dovehearted]

[ She's gotten this figured out after meeting Raistlin's mother. ] 'Cause you're not where you're supposed to be. No one's traded you to anyone, you'll be out in a few days like nothing happened.

[notafuckingnut]

...Right.

Well I guess that'd explain the accommodations; looks more like a place you could actually live in instead of a camp.

[Yes, he is accepting this explanation altogether too easily, but hey. It seems reasonable. Ish.]

[dovehearted]

Yeah. You're at a friend of mine's while he's gone.

...what's your name, anyway?

[notafuckingnut]

Oh yeah? Well I'll be sure to try not to trash the place, then. [Completely sincere; if the place does get trashed it won't be intentional, but...things tend to happen.]

Lieutenant Aldo Raine. An' you are?

lmao I have never seen Inglorious Basterds so.

[dovehearted]

Name's Lua. [ She looks up with a little more respect. ] We'll take care of you while you're here, all right, sir?

HOW HAVE YOU NOT....gahhh. watch itttt. that is your new homework assignment

[notafuckingnut]

Yes, ma'am. That's very obliging of you an' such.

...But I'd feel a little bit better about that assurance if I knew exactly where it is I am. Gathered it's some kinda ship, but that's about all I've got.

Re: HOW HAVE YOU NOT....gahhh. watch itttt. that is your new homework assignment

[dovehearted]

Ship called the Barge. Some of us it's... well, where you go instead of dying, some of us have arrangements with the captain.

Can't tell you why you're here, though.

[notafuckingnut]

'Cause somebody figured I needed a vacation, I guess.

[A short laugh; it's funny. Really.]

'Cause I definitely am not dead.

...Although I guess corpses would say that once they got here too, wouldn't they.

[DRUGGED. That is why he's here. Got bonked on the head and he's really in a field hospital somewhere and this is all some weird narcotics-induced dream. That's it.]

[dovehearted]

...yeah.

Sounds like you had something important to do, guess somebody thought you needed a break?

[fearbycruelty]

Oh, finished the important thing already. Well. It got done, I was indisposed at the time. Sorta in the middle of somethin' a little less important when I got here.

Brass are gonna have a bone-ee-fied fuckin' field day with this.
