'Crikeys' are in order

[shipshapeshipco]

Well I certainly do appreciate the youthful glow I have regained, and I am not adverse to being in a state in which I can afford the use of the word "hibbly-swib" without receiving awkward glances and murmurs insinuating ineptitude, I was in actuality hoping that I would regain some youthful spirit as well. Instead I find myself in an inproper age

Still just as talkative as usual.

[shipshapeshipco]

Well I was always told when you find something you are quite talented at to drive that thing to the very wall of limitations and crash right through it, leaving shards of doubt and pebbles of disbelief strewn about the road of life which is paved, by the way, with a very different sort of cobble, very diffeent indeed. Or so I used to believe. Now I am not so sure that the wall is worth crashing to.

...Have you finished your processed grains yet?

[weaponxi]

Talking isn't a talent.

I don't know, would you like to see if I have or not?

[shipshapeshipco]

For some reason I think 'no' is the correct response. Either way, I see that you've taken a different turn than I in recent days. Tell me, have you found yourself a good man to keep you secure?

LOW BLOW SAMUEL! LOW BLOW! XD

[weaponxi]

I have gotten older, yes.

And what if I haven't?

Oh, it's nothing. You could always adopt a few cats. I'm sure they'll give you... some satisfaction.

If it makes you feel better, I had love and lost it. Now I'm just a lonely child. Maybe you did come out on the upper turret of this tower.

[weaponxi]

That is an idea.

Mine betrayed me over and over again to another man before going to leave me to die.

[shipshapeshipco]

I think feline-companions are sounding more and more like the better choice.

[weaponxi]

Will you get yourself some as well?

[shipshapeshipco]

I've always been more for dogs myself. Strapping hounds to take on the hunt.

[weaponxi]

You sound like you have the right idea.

Ne? Just how many cats do you think that I should get?

[shipshapeshipco]

One for every tear shed over a man who knows naught of your existence. Seven is a fair number.

No males, though. I know they seem the proper replacement, but they mark their territory with a truly awful stench.

[weaponxi]

The tears I have shed are higher then seven but yes, that sounds like a wonderful number.

Wouldn't females do the same though?

*She pauses for a moment before sounding thoughtful.*

Hey... You hungry?

[shipshapeshipco]

I might be soon, I have a game to play in the lower decks. A rustic sort of contest, but it looks to be fairly entertaining. I'd invite you to play but I fear your new-found wisdom would hold you back from enjoyment. Perhaps after I'm eliminated?

[weaponxi]

*She couldn't help but to chuckle a little at that.*

Yeah, probably. That sounds like a good idea. Anyplace you prefer to go eat?

If we can get this bartender back in action then I say Sergei's.
