Voice 059

[shenghuanzhe]

Awright, that should do it far as new folks on board are concerned.

[Kage shifts the cigarette to the other side of his mouth, then just plucks it out as he wipes off his forehead with a rag. It's hot as hell on this deck of machinery. In the background there's the clip-clop of hooves and the slap-slap of bare hands on decking

Comments

[kazeyotsutaete]

Full as in... completely full?

[Roll is consider what one could DO with that much parsley.]

[shenghuanzhe]

To the very fuckin' top.

[What couldn't you do with that much parsley?]

[kazeyotsutaete]

Wow... That is a lot of parsley, sir.

[That is some awe there. If Roll gets a room full of parsley she might not tell anyone.]

[shenghuanzhe]

Kiddo, you don't gotta call me sir. You ain't crew and you don't answer to me.

[His tone is a little friendlier.]

Awright?

[kazeyotsutaete]

Um... right.

[She's just stupidly polite, Kage.]

But I don't actually know your name, Mister?

[shenghuanzhe]

Atch-ch-ch.

[He makes the thoughtful sound and exhales some smoke.]

No mister either. Just Kage's fine, or First Mate Kage if you wanna be all formal.

[kazeyotsutaete]

[Roll calls her friends she's made on the ship Mister/Miss, this probably won't change for Kage.]

O-okay I will do that Mis-- First Mate Kage.

[shenghuanzhe]

Atch-ch--there y'go. First Mate Kage's better'n mister. I'm not a mister. What's your name again, girlie? I been busy and ain't been able to review all the passenger files like I usually do.

[kazeyotsutaete]

It's ah... Longer at least. Oh, I'm Roll! It's a pleasure to meet you M-- First Mate Kage.

[shenghuanzhe]

Roll. Cute name for a cute girl. You settlin' in okay?

[kazeyotsutaete]

[What, it's not cute.] A-ah, yes I am? Um, okay enough?

[shenghuanzhe]

Bashah. You need anythin', you ask myself or any other crew member. And carry a knife, girlie, it's a dangerous place. We're short on crew so we don't got much in the way of security right now.

[kazeyotsutaete]

I will s-- Kage. And I have a broom, so you don't need to worry about me.

[A broom, a stalker older brother, an adopted drunkard bomb maker and possibly Bass too if she ever ends up hurt.]

[shenghuanzhe]

A broom? For what?

[kazeyotsutaete]

... Cleaning?

[shenghuanzhe]

Girl, think of this ship like a vacation. You don't gotta clean.
