Who: The intrepid crew of the SS Paisley!
Broadcast: anything could happen, I guess?
Action: Anywhere on the ship
When: From the shuffle through the end of the month

[ Well the ship could only stay empty but for her captain for so long. And I'm sure the audience is just DYING to know what happens when these older folks show up and find their ship is captained by a 17-year-old with an attitude problem.

Let the games begin... ]

I'd hafta find 'em first.

[ Yeah she's the captain. In charge of making sure they've all got what they need. So there. ]

Hmmph.

[ Well, that was more sleep than she meant to get.

Inspect away. It looks like he's probably expecting it to look (thank you augment?) aside from the blanket on one seat. She hasn't had a chance to settle in yet, don't worry it'll start to look more like a bedroom soon. ]

There's a guy in town keeps tryin' to find the ghosts he swears are haunting his vegetable garden. Can probably get a few bucks off him easy, for what it's worth.

Ghosts ain't a problem.

[read: i will definitely get the money off of him.]

Good.

[ read: good, if he's gonna be a superstitious idiot we might as well profit, right? ]

Training yard's got some decent guys to have a spar with. Fists or blades, mostly, but they're not half bad.

You lay 'em out?

[if you can i want to]

Few of 'em, in fistfights anyway. Ain't as good at swords, but I held my own mostly.

[ She points to her broken nose with a grin ]

Got this off a guy from the fleet. Hell of a fighter, think we both ended up concussed by the end of the fight.

[he squints at that nose]

Please tell me you set that.

[his lighter tone of voice says he's respectful (proud???) of her for kicking ass, though.]

[ She will never admit if she's pleased by that tone.

You'll just have to guess.

~~She kinda is~~ ]

'Course I did.

[ a little inexpertly, because she's more used to having cousins do it with no little roughness, but she did her best and it'll only be a little crooked. ]

[he sighs. pretty heavily.]

Happens again, you let me know. I've got some... experience in that.

[and it also won't be healing you with glowy magic like the evil elves on our ship]

Hey, I've broken my nose before, I can deal with it.

[ she doesn't really sound insulted or even like she's saying no, she just feels like she should protest that she can handle herself before allowing him to help ]

Not sayin' you can't, just... sayin' I've had my share of time to learn.

[he gets it. that defensiveness is what he can see as the child in her.]

[ it certainly is the child in her, the child who felt like she had to prove she could handle things over and over again. ]

Yeah, fair enough. ...Thanks.

... So you said you were training with swords?
