4th Shuffle

Who: Remy and open.
Broadcast: Yes.
Action: WonderDuck.
When: Now.

Ah, I guess first things first, gotta apologize to fellow Ducks that we goin’ to get less room on the ship now, ‘cause I just got these guys. [The camera pans away from Remy’s face to reveal three little kittens, all huddled together and looking a little lost as they sat on his bed on the WonderDuck.] There was a breeder in the Savvy guild who was raisin’ pest huntin’ pets, ‘nd these three were considered runts of the litter. Said they were too small ‘nd weak ‘nd was just goin’ to off them, ‘nd, well, couldn’t be havin’ that now.

So, wanna ‘ntroduce ya’ll to Figaro, [The camera moves, zooming in on each kitten as he names them off.], Oliver, ‘nd Lucifer. Hopefully they'll make great crew mates.

Also, ya know, if 'nyone got tips for keepin' cats, that be well welcomed too.

[No doubt it wasn't.

Remy was fighting to keep his face neutral at the moment, because mon Dieu, if she gave anymore of a cold shoulder he was thinking his doorway would start to ice over.] Well, donno how our lovely captors would feel 'bout that, but might be needin' it with Naga, donno how big that thing grows. But hey, whatever makes ya happy, chere, gotta try 'nd make the most of it while we stuck here, non? No point forcin' ya to stay if ya ain't comfortable here. [It only made sense.]

[It's her special talent.]

I don't see any evidence that Atroma cares on way or another.

Maybe not, but sure they won't hesitate a second to keep sendin' people our way to try 'nd stuff more 'nd more people into the ships. Has happened before. [Things had gotten a little cramped until the Blameless suddenly appeared.] 'nd these ships ain't exactly roomy as it be.

And yet, you seemed to find it fitting to add three more bodies to an already cramped situation?

Tiny bodies, [For now.] 'nd I never claimed to be a logical or smart 'ndividual. [Maybe Remy shouldn't leave such comments open around her, she seemed the type to take them and run with them rather than treat them as the joke Remy had intended them to be.]

That much is apparent.

[Captain Phasma ain't got time to joke :| Also she lacks a sense of humor; there is no place for it in battle.]

[Yep, ow, but... expected. Really, he walked into that with how Phasma was, so Remy just shrugged it off and coped with it the best way he did almost anything; humor.] Ah, something ya also won't have to worry 'bout if ya shift ships. Hopefully get yaself a few more like-minded people like ya to 'nteract with. [And, you know, he can steer clear away from such a ship in the future then.]

It would be more of a comfort if I knew such people existed.

[Said with so much exaggeration, as if having to deal with people she didn't agree with was a physical pain in and of itself.]

[Yeah, that wouldn't surprise Remy in the least.] Hey, never know, might get a few people back from ya universe show up, [Before he paused.] Assumin' those back home don't fall 'nto that category of people ya don't wanna be 'round.

I am in excess of just those kind of people.

[Her tone is dripping with disdain.]

[Wow, so those people were either happy and great people to be around,

Or worse than her.

Remy knew which one he would prefer.] Ah, well... [What did you say to that? 'Better ya than me?' Yeah, somehow Remy didn't think that would go down well. Then again, he didn't think anything he said would go well with her.] Sounds like a real shame for ya then. [Yeah, that works.]

[They're the former.]

Truly.
