I think the Admiral might have been paying attention to my last entry, to choose a location such as this. Giselle would have been so sad to miss it; I imagine she was born in a place such as this.

Admittedly, I prefer the girl to the environment. Something tells me I'll enjoy no vices in a kingdom such as this that won't come with nasty yet fanciful spells of some sort. Ah, disappointment!

What did not disappoint, however, was the passel of new arrivals this month. If only they were always so friendly, I should die (again) a happy, fulfilled old man.

Iago, I trust you're staying out of trouble? ...And did not fall overboard?

Also, I have noticed that this charming little place has had an effect on our language. Let's make a game of it. You cannot censor innuendo, after all. So be clever. What can you get away with?

Well, if next month's crop disappoints, I'm sure the rest of us can chip in.

[Innocentface. It isn't very innocent.]

I'm just venturing out. My inmate's in company with another warden so looks like I'm to my own devices for this little while.

[OOC: Slowtime for work and phonetags, but Stildyne had to come be suave as hell]

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I should hope so, Chief Stildyne, and should you require any particular diversions whilst in port, I would be happy to volunteer. Such welcome additions to our ranks deserve the best hospitality, naturally.

I'm just trying not to start an incident at the moment. Wouldn't mind a guide. Not even in the sense of innuendo. Does this happen often, in port, people forgetting who they are?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

If they fall overboard, yes. In fact, it is very rare even if you purposefully jump overboard that you keep your personality or your memories when you do that.

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

Well. Glad you're yourself; Arkady and Coordinator Narvin both are gone native.

Nice to see a friendly face. [And that the Marqis takes it in stride is easing a fraction of his native suspicion.]

If you don't mind me saying. If that young lady was from this sort of place, you must have been a heck of a-- a doozy of a--

[He scowls.]

A gentleman is what I mean to say.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

And indeed, I was. Sometimes a little classical wooing can be fun. The chase, the subtle dance, the poetry...

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

[A hair sheepishly]

I can't say I've ever tried, to tell you the truth. Take your word.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

It's not for everyone. It's only for persons like myself when the mood strikes us. For those that it pleases, it is a joy. For the rest, they can take or leave, but no one fails to take notice of any form of gesture, provided it's genuine.

[der-umgekehrte.livejournal.com]

It's odd. All the gestures and little things. Associate that more with my... my people. You'd call them. Where it's been a sheets-- can I say that? Good. Where there's a sheets relationship, there's rarely time for gifts and favors. But then I'm closer to my people than most of my sheets acquaintances.

[Which was going to be 'lovers' but that felt so odd to say in these parts.]

[toldastory]

Innuendo, good sir?

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

And 'outuendo', as a former acquaintance of mine once said.

[toldastory]

Oh my.

[whattheytellyou.livejournal.com]

You are impertinent!

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

I prefer incorrigible, cheri.

[whattheytellyou.livejournal.com]

I prefer 'Princess', Lord Incorrigible.

I did. But I know who I am. [Dashing Prince Charmingish smile.]

And I have a sword again.

[subtlescience]

Do you really anticipate that someone will come along and talk to you about their enchanted snake visiting your cave of wonders?

Innuendo.

There are children, good sir. Children.

[impure-tale.livejournal.com]

Oh, inspired, that.

[subtlescience]

[Just dripping with sarcasm over here:]

I'm delighted you think so.

[doctor-j-crane.livejournal.com]

Vices? What kind of vices?

[darknessb4me]

[He normally wouldn't respond, but he may not be returning to the Barge. The idea of no more sexual harassment is cheering.]

Did she mention what world she was from?
