[ Draft 1 ]

[metharchy]

Passengers. My name is Meth, I'm the ship's new Renovation Head. This means I'll be working with upgrading several rooms and/or decks around the ship. During that time, all areas within construction zones will be temporarily off limit to passengers. I'm good but I'm not a miracle-worker so be patient and you can get back to your whosits and whatsits in no time.

...

Do not enter any construction zones. They will be clearly labled and closed off. Do not enter, do not alter, do not touch. I don't want to clean up blood and guts from my work space, alright?

So. Right. Anyway. Uhm, glad to be aboard.

Sure, if I can call you "Dumbass."

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Too soon to say. The upper decks don't need as much as the lower.

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Did I say my name was Crystal?

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

...

...

...you?

[Meifeng grins. She loves her reputation.]

Surprised?

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

That's it. Good that you understand.

[talkback-stein.livejournal.com]

Joke's on you - everyone calls me that.


...Crystal.

[Somebody sounds like damned cold. Meth is attempting to rein in her temper.]

I'm sorry, do they not have sarcasm on your primitive world?

Call me Meth, or Crewmember Meth and I might leave your room as it is.

[As opposed to a booby-trapped nightmare.]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[Great deities, she was on board as well?]

I hadn't heard anything...I didn't know...

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

[Yep, must be the mechanic.]

I expect we'll be conferring soon enough.

[talkback-stein.livejournal.com]

I don't know what the big deal is, here.

[That was a stupid pun but he said it anyways.]

I'm only trying to be friendly.

[shenghuanzhe.livejournal.com]

Let's work hard, aye?

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

...right.

Your name is...?

[talkback-stein.livejournal.com]

Stein.

[Bond.]

Chase Stein.

[James Bond.]

[weifengyiyu.livejournal.com]

What can I say? Cap'n's a great man.

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

[Is he trying to be cool saying his name like that? Meth snorts.]

I'll remember that.

[Good job Chase, you're on Meth's radar.]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

[For the first time since she's gotten on the com, Meth sounds wholly sincere.]

The captain is a great man.

Beats workin' on the pirate ships.

Cattle's jumpy this time 'round though.

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

[Wow she was talking to Meifeng.]

Jumpy how?

Re: [Locked to Crew // unhackable]

[weifengyiyu.livejournal.com]

[Don't get used to it, talking isn't one of Meifeng's strongest traits.]

They like t'fight.

Fuck, they got me, didn't they?

[Locked to Crew // unhackable]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

They like to fight hm--wait.

They got you?

[WHAT?]

Pel's teeth, how did they manage that?

[weifengyiyu.livejournal.com]

[Have an angry hiss down the comm.]

Ask the fuckin' First Mate.

[Click. Meifeng disconnected.]

[...oh fuck, she pissed her off. That was unintentional. Shit, shit.]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Yes sir, I've already begun evaluating the ship and making a list of necessary immediate repairs.

[There was no reason not to work on her list while touring the ship, after all.]

[shenghuanzhe.livejournal.com]

Good girl. You need help with heavy lifting, you call me or the chief engineer, aye?
