❡001 video

[pvtparts]

[Polly's taken the time to explore the Barge top to bottom and bottom to top. Now she's spending some time on the deck to figure out the communicator. All of this is brand new, but there's also plenty familiar about it at at the same time. So, she's cool as a cucumber when she gets the video working.]

Well, I guess today's excitement answers the question whether or not there's ever any riots involving squidmen around here. [For the unobservant, that sure is some dry sarcasm. But it's okay. She can easily get used to this kind of weird.] I've got more than that, of course seeing as how I'm new, but I think I'll just wait.

You can call me Polly.

Hell, that wasn't a riot. There have to be at least two deaths for that, or a lot more rotten fruit.

Or Guns'n'Roses cancels the show, but whatever.

[Guns and what?]

Would it still have been a riot if there was death by rotten fruit?

[surfaceshine]

[Guns and Awesome, is what.]

It's the bodycount that matters, not the cause of death.

[pvtparts]

[If you say so.]

That seems like a little too all-encompassing of a definition for a riot.

[surfaceshine]

[He does. Now what?]

I've never really known a riot that was interested in sticking to one set of rules.

[pvtparts]

There still have to be standards in place or how can you tell a riot from say a revolution?

[surfaceshine]

Politics.

[pvtparts]

See? You named a standard all by yourself.

[surfaceshine]

Don't tell anyone. I have a reputation to live up to.

[pvtparts]

Your secret's safe with me.
