What am I getting myself into?

Scrawled in a loose hand on the pages of a maimed and singed oilcloth-wrapped journal. It's cover and page margins are scrawled over with doodles of kittens. Some of these are, unfortunately, pink.

I've followed up on that little chat I had at the mead hall. The one that had me so upset. So I went out, having worked up a beefy blue mope, despite

Overworked is better than idle. I'd rather be drowning in commissions than sitting around bored, even if it's good to have the occasional "sit on a beach drinking something fruity with an umbrella in it until a giant lobster rises from the ocean and terrorizes the nearby fishing village, requiring brave adventurers to swing in and defeat it" break to keep from being too overworked. Because who doesn't like the occasional fruity drink?

...the occasional "sit on a beach drinking something fruity with an umbrella in it until a giant lobster rises from the ocean and terrorizes the nearby fishing village, requiring brave adventurers to swing in and defeat it" break...

Well, yeah, but I did that the week before last.

Excepting I think I might've been the lobster, what with all the sun I soaked up. And the villagers defeated me by giving me another fruity rum drink and a jar of soothing lotion.

But other than that...

The only real problem is sitting down and rearranging my schedule to fit everything. At least I hope that's my only real problem.

The kind of interesting that keeps you up 'til the wee hours to make space in your life for it kind of interesting.

...wait, aren't you married?

...wait, aren't you married?

Um...that would be an entirely different sort of interesting than you're apparently thinking of, Gil.

I don't have those sort of interesting nights anymore. The ones where you wake up wearing one boot that isn't yours and half-lying in a puddle of delicious gravy in strange rooms and have to sneak your way out of large, confusing houses you've never seen before, wondering where all your buttons have got to and forced to use a stolen pair of pants to cover yourself until you get home.

If that's what you'd meant.

Or were you talking about something else?

Besides. That only happened the once.

[gil_karm]

That was you?!?

[bldy_cute_molly]

That was you?!?

Ummm...Gil?
Considering who the other party involved in that particular evening's entertainment was, that comment might be a bit lacking in taste.

Oh...I never told you about that, did I?

[cyrus_rta]

It'll be good to have you aboard!

Did you see what I just did there?

[bldy_cute_molly]

Aye, Aye, Captain!!

Ain't you the clever one?
