My ComLink isn't working, and I have this clunky thing now, and --

...and I'm on a boat. The water is so clean.

What's going on?

Oh, welcome, Mademoiselle! This is the MS Elegante! You are a new passenger. I do so enjoy meeting and greeting new passengers!

[audio] fugenetics June 1 2009, 23:42:19 UTC

Thanks for the welcome, but ... that still doesn't explain how I got on an apparently already-moving boat.

[Audio] wallrocket June 1 2009, 23:48:44 UTC

Oh, I am not certain, either, but I do not dwell on it. Perhaps you could ask a member of the crew? I apologize, I am not very helpful.

[audio] fugenetics June 1 2009, 23:52:08 UTC

I'm already talking to someone who says they're crew.

[sigh.]

...If you're not crew then who are you? Another passenger, I guess?

Yeah, hi.

[Kage's voice is a bit gravelled. His throat is sore.]

I'm First Mate Kage and you're on board the Elegante. Our destination is the Golden Shore and until we get there, you just gotta kick back and relax, awright? Got any questions, need anythin', ask myself or any other crew member.

[A long pause.]

So did you kidnap me or something? I never got on a boat.

[audio] shenghuanzhe June 1 2009, 23:44:28 UTC

Kidnappin'... hn.

[Kage scratches his neck.]

Y'were selected.

Just to be here? Why? What if I don't want to be here?

A clunky thing? Why, whatever could it be? Surely you don't mean Wall- he just meant to be friendly, is all.

Welcome aboard, I am Samuel Goldthwaine Robinson Jr! Please come to my abode- We will feast on Wall and make a night of it.

[audio] fugenetics June 1 2009, 23:44:56 UTC

The clunky thing I'm talking on. I didn't mean Wall, whoever that is --

I don't want to eat him!

Re: [audio] shipshapeshipco June 1 2009, 23:58:15 UTC

Then you don't have an adventerous tongue! Bushbaby is quite an exotic meat. you see. Men have died for less.

And the name for this 'clunky thing you're talking on' is better known as a "rustic merchant-class drawl." If ever you were lost in the woods- Deck three, by the by- I could find you easily just by following the trail of dropped vowels!

[audio] fugenetics June 2 2009, 00:09:03 UTC

Wall -- he's a bushbaby? How is he talking? What?

...there's a forest on the boat?

*A bullfrog can be heard in the background, as Tina's high-pitched, oddly accented voice comes over the com*

What's a ComLink?

Oh, welcome aboard! My name is Tina Ibn Miraaj, I run a bar on Deck 8. I'll make you something nice.

[audio] fugenetics June 2 2009, 00:31:41 UTC

You don't know what a ComLink is? It's ... the only way I can really talk to people.

And, um, I don't drink. But thank you.

Re: [audio] skyion June 2 2009, 00:37:32 UTC

Nope, never heard of it!

I make and serve non-alcoholic drinks too, so you can still come to my bar!

[audio] fugenetics June 2 2009, 00:41:09 UTC

Oh. Well. I guess I can show you mine when I come by, then.

...

So you are uninformed as well.

fugenetics June 2 2009, 00:32:18 UTC

Very. You too?

weepingdemon June 2 2009, 00:33:54 UTC

Indeed. It will not last, however.

fugenetics June 2 2009, 00:40:07 UTC

Hopefully. It's weird being somewhere and only knowing a little about what's going on.
