[ 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.

Meth? That's an er... interesting name.

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

It's Aspurran. Not uncommon.

[Sorry, the drug meth doesn't exist in Aspurra, or any Askoupurian province. AT least, not by that name.]

[drunkwithdoubt.livejournal.com]

Oh! In my world, it's a drug...

[Well, how was he to know that?]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

[There was no way for him to know, but she wasn't offended.]

There's a drug named Meth in your world?

[Interesting.]

What does it do?

[drunkwithdoubt.livejournal.com]

I don't know. I've never tried it.

[Sorry he's not more useful.]

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[Must not be that important a drug if he doesn't even know what it does.]

Your name, passenger?

[drunkwithdoubt.livejournal.com]

Patrick Mann. Father Patrick Mann.

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

What does the "Father" denote? Do you have children?

[drunkwithdoubt.livejournal.com]

Er.. no. It means I'm a priest.

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

Oh...Oh.

[Well this is something she's more familiar with and her response is automatic.]

Strength and honor to your bond, lael.

[drunkwithdoubt.livejournal.com]

Lael?

[metharchy.livejournal.com]

One of my people's word for priest.
