Well, nice to see everyone having such a good time lately.

Tch. It's a regular party out there.

[apocalypsesaber]

Something like that. [Nooot mentioning that she's one of those "contaminated" people.]

What about you?

[freedominthesky]

That depends. Would you like the boring, political story or something else?

[apocalypsesaber]

Whichever you want.

[freedominthesky]

Something else it is. Fascinating as political intrigue can be, I think it best to save it for another time. I'll stick to something simple for now.

I'm a sky pirate.

Wouldn't suppose you have any back where you come from, would you?

[apocalypsesaber]

Tch. [ politics. ]

Not exactly, but the name speaks for itself.

[freedominthesky]

Ah, good. You would be surprised how many people ask how one can pirate the skies. If only more worlds were familiar with airships... It would certainly make my job easier if one were to appear.

[apocalypsesaber]

Sounds like it. So you've got the social outcast thing going, hm?

[Maybe they've got something else in common.]

[freedominthesky]

Now, I wouldn't say that. [because that sounds awful and he'd like to think that that would only be the case in Archades] Carrying a profession commonly looked down upon, perhaps, outside of the law, certainly, but an outcast? I should hope not.

[apocalypsesaber]

Lucky for you.

[freedominthesky]

I wouldn't say that either. [overdone sigh] Quite the nuisance, being popular.

[apocalypsesaber]

Then what would you say? Leaving someone to guess with very few clues isn't nice.

[ pause. ]

Popular in what way?

[freedominthesky]

Why, there are plenty of silver platters justwaiting to have my head on them, and as many headhunters perfectly willing to provide.

[apocalypsesaber]

That sounds familiar.

[freedominthesky]

Similar troubles?

[apocalypsesaber]

Something like that.
