[the transmission turns on to Celeste's voice from a little ways away.]

...hey, yer not bad with that thing.

[River's little feet are walking over. There's a scream from the other corridor. It's the pirates.

River is breathless, giddy with joy.]

Let's get em.

[Celeste's rough voice somehow shares a bit of that.]

... You're kidding.

Mar damn, and it wasn't me. Hah.

[thiefshonor]

If it was you I wouldn't be fucking asking who it was, would I, moron?

[She doesn't sound happy. No patience for idiocy right now.]

Tall lanky lady, black hair, costume make-up. Disappeared. I wanna know who it was so I can go slice her goddamn face off.

[psychoticracer]

[Chuckle.]

For all you know it was. But, it wasn't. So.

Hmmm. Shooting doesn't fit Xamira's M.O. Makeup's a little off, too.

Anything else about her?

[thiefshonor]

Uh, squinty eyes like the Hajime kid. Black clothes. Gun. Should I draw ya a picture or somethin'? Who's Xamira?

[canttrustliars]

She's dead?

[thiefshonor]

An' it wasn't a zombie that killed her.

Tall lady, eyes like yours, lotsa make-up. Who's that?

[canttrustliars]

There are only two Japanese women on the boat, and only one has Japanese eyes. Was she about six feet tall with long wavy black hair and a childish demeanor?

[thiefshonor]

No.

[missmimmi]

...Someone shot River?

[thiefshonor]

And then she disappeared. Ya know a tall black-haired woman?

[missmimmi]

No. No I do not.

[Fuuuuuuuck]

[thiefshonor]

Some help y'are. [Frustrated sigh]

[pimp_hat]

Somone shot River...SHIT!

But dese damn t'ings don't use any guns!

[thiefshonor]

It wasn't one'a these geist things, it was a human. She stealthed an' ran away after she did it. Fucking hell.

[pimp_hat]

Dere be pink-skins runnin' wid dese t'ings? Knew dis been too easy so fah.

Joo see what da bitch looked like before she ran?

[thiefshonor]

...Huh? Ya think she's with the geists? Not a passenger?

Uh, she was tall and skinny, black hair, tons of painted make-up.

[sonotyourdog]

[A chuckle.]

It wasn't me~ Even if she did provoke Haine that one time when Lily died... again.

[thiefshonor]

If it were you I'd be cuttin' you to pieces right now instead'a askin' who it was.

[sonotyourdog]

I doubt it~ Don't judge a book by its cover, Celeste~

Besides~ I could always be useful and find that woman for you... Beat her up a little and let you savor the rest~

[He made a small slurp noise and licked his lips.]

[thiefshonor]

I wouldn't say no t' that. Make sure she stays live.
