Miss Martel, I've been thinking... do you need more volunteers at the Welcome Center?  If so, I would like to.

[End Filter]

Miss Finette,  Miss Grune.  Are you both well?  Have you adjusted to living here yet?

...I've been meaning to ask.  Are there any musicians here?  Anyone interested in talking in person can meet me at Good Spirits this evening.

[Sure enough, Thirteen makes good on his word about being at the bar.  He's brought his guitar along, and is sitting off in a corner playing quietly.]

Sort of? Wasn't it all or nothing?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

I shot his banjo.

[A chuckle.]

So I take it you couldn't beat him. That's fairly clever.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

It was enough to convince him to join my crew.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Crew? What manner of world do you come from, sir?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Earth, I guess. A group of islands in the Caribbean called the Tri-Island Area.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

So you're a sailor? Merchant shipman?

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Actually, I'm a pirate!

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

A pirate. Normally that's not something you would be so bold to admit.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

It's not? I usually just announce it after my name, like this:

"I'm Guybrush Threepwood, Mighty Pirate."

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

...Your world must be different from mine. Saying such a thing there would get you arrested. Or committed.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Most of the Tri-Island Area is pirate friendly. I've only been arrested once. And I've never been committed... but I was trapped in an evil carnival a couple of times.

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

Definitely a different world, Mr. Threepwood.

I'm David Jordan, Major in the Federal Erusian Air Force. Most people call me Yellow 13.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you! What instruments do you play?

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

A guitar. Thinking of picking up another someday.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

Just don't take up the piano. I used to take piano lessons and... [He shudders]

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

There's a story there, I'm sure.

[fightlikeacow.livejournal.com]

I'd rather not talk about it. I might flash back...

[yellowthirteen.livejournal.com]

[Such a strange fellow. But he's pretty amusing.]

Very well. I won't ask.
