[glances up from the keyboard as the Victorian begins to pull away from the City, heading out into the ocean]
... [small smile, reaches for his coat, pulling it on] Never know where the tides bring us next.

[observing the peace and silence of the ship he's standing on, shoulders hunched to look out over the side at the City]
...Terrible when good friends leave. But don't be upset when it's over. Smile because it happened.
Well.
Anyone out there fancy a chat? I promise I can be quite a good listener. -

[leans over the railing, his hands folded, staring down into the water]
...I didn't even know your name.
I should have gone after you.

To the members of the Obsessive Compulsive Piano Players Anonymous Club, I offer the Virginian as a meeting location. I've two pianos, one in very good condition aside from once smashing it into a wall of plate glass windows, and am sure together we can have a rather good time ( Read more... ) -

Hmn..It seems I am now receiving notices about docking fees for my ship. This is troubling, but perhaps it goes hand in hand with the introduction of money falling from the skies ( Read more... ) -

[holds in his hand a piece of wrapped candy, looking curiously up at the sky]
Well, this is certainly a new oddity. [unwraps the candy and pops it into his mouth] Thank goodness, I was getting rather hungry. Not much fish to catch and I'll be damned if I can ever learn how to properly cook for myself. Though how long one man can survive on ( Read more... ) -

Very fortunate that that remarkable lady came to help in my hour of need. The Virginian hasn't leaked so much as a thimbleful these last few days. With any luck, she'll sustain the rough waters for a few more creeping years ( Read more... ) -

First, thank you Ma'am, for your mysterious but impressive repair job on the hole in my ship. It doesn't appear to be leaking anymore, and I'd be very much upset if I either had to deal with water damage to my second piano, or if I'd had to somehow push it up a level out of danger. And pianos are not exactly light ( Read more... ) -

It's been slightly under a week, and here I am still overlooking the most remarkable City from the ship. That in itself is miraculous, the longest I've stayed at either port was three days at the most. It's curious to be overlooking land for so long a time, but infinitely more interesting than rocking on the ocean for the rest of my lifetime ( Read more... )
