❡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.

'Ey Polly! To be fair, I think that were a first. Though we did once 'ave an underwater breach with a kraken. Kay planted a bomb in it by letting it swallow 'im, it were brilliant!

And Sundance is right, that were 'ardly a riot. You should've seen the mandrake or the rabies, now those were proper riots. Welcome aboard, lovey!

[deshabille]

Sundance?

[Iris you are like the best person ever. Too bad Mal doesn't understand this reference.]

[routemistress]

[She grins.]

'Ey there gorgeous. Remind me to pick that for movie night. You'll like it.

[deshabille]

Oh? And why will I like it?

[routemistress]

Because you've got excellent taste, of course. Why else?

[deshabille]

No other reason's needed, actually. I was just testing.

[pvtparts]

Now everyone's just making me more and more disappointed with the welcoming here. I'd easily trade squidman for a kraken.

[routemistress]

Come play with me in the CTS sometime, we might get it back! It does seem to run to tentacles when I'm in there, for some reason.

[So much pokerface. Also, any friend of Mal's is by definition, if not a friend of Iris', at least someone worth Iris' time and attention.]

As far as problems go, that's not the worst one to have, I suppose.
