[ Jade has opted to fully settle into his apartment before addressing the other inhabitants of the port, sometime after the sirens. Meanwhile he has meticulously organized what few belongings he now has, in addition to fully perusing his welcome packages and like a creeper eavesdropping on the various other posts and conversations on the main

Generally, you keep that a secret.

[video]

[uncutejade]

Oh, but I'm so terrible at keeping secrets.

[ Liiiiies. ]

[video]

[parlelellylelo]

Then you must make a terrible colonel. They're always having to keep secrets. Especially secrets of blood-thirstiness, that's how they get by and are allowed to mingle at parties, y'see, it's the secretiveness.

[uncutejade]

I beg to differ.

A wise man once said 'it is better to be feared than to be loved'.

[video]

[parlelellylelo]

There was no mention of love.

[video]

[uncutejade]

It's the principle. I don't care much for mingling, either.

[parlelellylelo]

[This is suspicious....]

What sort of colonel are you.

[video]

[uncutejade]

A colonel of the Malkuth Imperial Forces, of course.

And I imagine you are not a military man.

[video]

[parlelellylelo]

Nonsense! I'm as military as they come, there's never been one more military than I. That's how it is that I know.

[video]

[uncutejade]

My, I must be going blind in my old age. For a moment there I thought you looked like a pirate.

[video]

[parlelellylelo]

Old age'll do that to you, mate. It's terrible, the sort of restrictions applied by the ancient and withered hand of time, it makes a beggar of every man.

But if it's pirates you're in search of, you'll have to do that searching elsewhere, I haven't seen hide nor manky hair of 'em.

[video]

[uncutejade]

What a shame. What ever will I do with this stockpile of rum?

Though you do look a little mangy, even by pirate standards.

[parlelellylelo]

Rum. Rum, no one said naught of rum. If there's rum to be had--

[video]

[parlelellylelo]

Mangy!

[video]

[uncutejade]

Do you prefer 'bedraggled'? Or simply 'unclean'?

Yes. It would seem that my 'starter apartment' has been furnished with an abundance of alcohol, and I don't particularly care for rum.

[parlelellylelo]

[Icily:] There is nothing at all wrong with my appearance. It is a very fine appearance. It has been admired many times, and coveted, and, and remarked upon quite favorably, not that a long-haired false colonel would know anything about favorable appearances

Needless slander and needless wounding, says I, and I think that you owe me a rather large apology. Rum ought to suffice for that, I think.
