Welcome aboard to our new friends. Please pretend you can't see any of this.

Working on a cheat sheet of information for anyone too lazy to stalk other people's conversations. Two heads, etc. Feel free to pitch in, I'm sure a lot of you are better at stalking than I am.

Tranquility - government vessel, missing? Tech damaged.
Alexandrian - time period? Roughly 40 years prior to whenever now is.
Demologos - type of ship we're on, warship (w/Bram Stoker inspired modifications).
Ship name - Scylla (sp?).
Planets: Alexandria (wealthy), Hyperion (machines), Pasiphae (food), Sycorax, Ceres. Jiutian - possibly space station?

Crew names/count so far on the network (sp?? on all of these, but who cares):
Felix Laurens - Captain
~~Casey~~ Kassandros aka Kasey with a K - ~~Tech? laughs at our encryptions~~ Probably not tech. Scared of water and girls. Not tech.
Hays/Hayes - Chatty Cathy. Mechanic? Probably looting tech.
Fields - Gun guy. Full of crap.
"Trixie" - ?? Name provided by Fields, accuracy suspect. Probably Juliana.
Noam - actually tech?
3x 2x (male) mystery guests

They already think we're amnesiac idiot thieves/squatters, so don't worry, there's no such thing as a stupid question. Or a reputation to uphold, pretty sure any efforts at negotiation were null out of the gate.

They can read everything, don't drop too much info on us if possible. If in doubt, try to meet with each other in person to discuss instead. In a perfect world this post is here to disseminate info on them, not us.

Disclaimer: They already know we're clueless as to our how/when/where/why (or really good at pretending to be clueless), so if you're going to yell at me for making that even more obvious, I'm only mildly sorry.

~~p.s. dear Casey, is the anonymous function in the useless camp too?~~ Anon irrelevant.

You mean in movies made about them? Not, I presume, in theaters.

Edited 2013-04-20 18:35 (UTC)

Yes, in movies made about them. But I'm sure if they had movie theaters they'd sing in those too. Pirates aren't really known for their manners.

Well, I cannot say I much approve of making movies about brigands.

What do you approve of movies about?

Well. I cannot say. I cannot say that I've seen a movie I approve of.

[JEDIS. ALL FUCKING MOVIES SHOULD BE ABOUT JEDIS.]

[ he'd fund it ]

Seriously, no movies. Not a single one. At all. Ever?

Not that I am able to recall.

... any books you approve of?

I don't read fiction, of course.

Of course. Hasn't changed at all now that you're living it?

Is there fiction about this sort of thing? I wouldn't know.

[Lady, protesting too much]

[ give it up bro, nerds can smell nerd on each other, that's how it works. ]

Really. Never even heard of the entire science fiction genre. That seems awfully shortsighted of you.

Oh, yes, that does ring a bell.

[THIS IS A STRESSFUL TIME OKAY HE'S NOT GOOD AT MAKING EXCUSES UNDER STRESS]

I'm sure it does.

[ he'll let this go because this is a stressful enough time minus the whole existential dangers of talking fiction on the network. BUT HE'S ONTO YOU, BUDDY. ]

In any case. You're safe, right?

I am. Don't worry, I can take care of myself.

You're good too, right?

[ he'd normally ask more, but compromised network, etc. ]

I'm doing my job.

Good luck. And I know you know, but because it's what nice people say: be careful.

Of course.

[Which is the end of that message, but then a moment later, a second one - ]

And if anything happens, I just wish to say: I am sorry if I offended you by calling you nice. I was a touch intoxicated.

[ EDGEWORTH..... ]

Not at all. I've been called much worse things. And for what it's worth, I'm sorry for implying Republicans don't care about the environment.

[ also thanks for the laugh, he needed it. ]

It's all right. We do admittedly have higher priorities, though I personally would prefer that we pay greater heed to the issue. And I do want to assure you that I always recycle.

Glad to hear it.

Although it sounds like Earth is long gone by now, so apparently all of our hard work to save the planet was for naught.

Their Earth

Right, sorry, bizarro Earth. But on a serious note, I'm starting to think these guys might be genuine.

As genuine as pirates can get, anyway.

Define "genuine." Genuinely murderous? Genuinely rude?
