[Roll is consider what one could DO with that much parsley.]

To the very fuckin' top.

[What couldn't you do with that much parsley?]

Wow... That is a lot of parsley, sir.

[That is some awe there. If Roll gets a room full of parsley she might not tell anyone.]

Kiddo, you don't gotta call me sir. You ain't crew and you don't answer to me.

[His tone is a little friendlier.]

Awright?

First Mate Kage?

[Yes, Bryn is addressing him by title to be polite. She's about to make a request so it doesn't seem like a bad idea to start out nicely.]

Could I have a moment of your time?

shenghuanzhe July 14 2010, 06:07:43 UTC
Yeah, no sweat. What's up, girlie?

[She locks her post for a measure of privacy.]

I was hoping you could help me. You or whoever on crew would handle my request, ah, regarding room arrangements?

[Oh god, how to phrase it? This feels totally awkward.]

There was once this really smart, nerdy type chick on board. She was a psychologist or whatever, and she told me that everyone's got an urge for life and an urge for death. Iroz and Zanatos or somethin'.

[He means 'Eros' and 'Thanatos', the twin Life and Death urges in the human psyche.]
