[y'all know the scene: room at the inn, so this is probably a noob. And indeed, the redhead dressed like a thrift store fell on her is a new face on the network.]

Hokay, so. I'd like a Word with whoever picks the stuff we get out of that box. A tool belt with no tools, I ask you, who makes a girl rebuild her kit from scratch?

I mean, I'd also like a word with whoever thinks 'dunk everyone in a lake' is a great idea, but I'm sure I'm not the only one there.

Anyway. What do people do for money around here, because I kinda doubt my day job is gonna translate.

That anything like a professional pirate?

[ichoosefight]

[ ... ]

How are those concepts in any way connected?

[claudiometer]

Don't mind me, the nerd runs deep.

[ichoosefight]

...If you say so.

But no, it's like... a club where you pay people to hang out with you.

[claudiometer]

If it works for you, cool. I am... not that kind of social. [Hey, at least she knows it.]

[ichoosefight]

Eh, I haven't really decided yet.

I'm just saying, there's some kooky career options here.

[claudiometer]

Oh, believe me, kooky I can handle.

[ichoosefight]

Then you should fit right in! This place is totally nutcakes. I have a talking bat. Last month we were chased across the country by ghosts. There's a city where people serve coffee as a foam.

[ That last one, that's the real insanity. ]

[claudiometer]

...See, at home I'd be looking for the thing behind any of those. But I'm pretty sure people here would just go 'because magic' and leave it at that.

[ichoosefight]

Oh, definitely. Though when it comes to ghosts you're really better off running than investigating. I froze half to death like, 3 times.

And I don't want to know what motivates people to experiment with coffee in different forms of matter.

[claudiometer]

Science nerds chasing a weird caffeine buzz, probably.

[It sounds like the kind of thing she wouldn't put past her brother, anyway.]

[ichoosefight]

Truly, the worst kind of people.

[ She has strong feelings about coffee, okay ]

[claudiometer]

Yeah, you'd think it'd be a clear-cut 'if it ain't broke don't fix it,' and yet.

[ichoosefight]

They can't need the caffeine that badly if they're playing around instead of inhaling it.

[claudiometer]

If my brother's anything to go by, scientists can be remarkable dumbasses.

[ichoosefight]

It's true, the smartest people I know are all idiots about normal stuff.

[claudiometer]

I mean, I love my brother to pieces. But he also got himself stuck in an interdimensional space because he didn't make sure he had all the directions first.
