[doggedly]

so youre not good at arm wrestling then

expert on skeleton eating sandwiches ?

[mikangirl]

I get other people to do my wrestling for me
they're just fine at eating sandwiches
all other kinds of things too
they have horrible table manners though

[...seriously she's still reading some of these things. You are one very bored survey maker.]

what the hell is a ke$ha

[doggedly]

you get other people to do your wrestling for you - what even here
you work quickly

do they have horrible table manners cos the food drops straight through them
& do your skeletons with horrible table manners eat curry

ke$ha is a person
the sort who thinks sticking runic symbols in her name is the height of cool
sings like a leprechaun with a sore throat

[mikangirl]

all kinds of heavy lifting deferred to others wherever possible

[There's a brief delay in that response because she's laughing at the leprechaun comment. Ah. Continuing.]

no they eat it just fine I'm not sure how that works
magical devil fruit power I guess
they eat whatever is put in front of them and talk through eating and get crumbs and stuff everywhere
that kind of bad table manners

ke$ha sounds very pretentious
how many of these questions do you seriously want an answer to?

[She's kind of noticed a couple that stand out.]

[doggedly]

1) what is devil fruit
2) is part of getting crumbs everywhere the bit where crumbs fly out from between empty ribs et al
2i) dyou think thats a rude question


less pretentious more S H I T E
& all obviously i want answers to all or else id not have asked
or really Support wants the answers im just the messenger

what sort of survey have you done where youre allowed to do it piecemeal

[mikangirl]

no he just spits them across the table because he talks with his mouth full
I've never seen anything drop out of his ribs I'm kind of happy about that

never done any surveys before but I'm not sure Support hinges anything important on whether I like ke$sha or not

[doggedly]

youd be surprised


dyou know who ke$ha is

[mikangirl]

I think we already covered that I don't
unless you're going to say she's so terrible that Support is kicking anyone who likes her off the ship

[doggedly]

they ought to

[doggedly]

SPUNES < - find here there & have a listen & tell me she doesnt sound like a congested leprechaun

[mikangirl]

[And much, much later, because she didn't know there was music on this thing and she gets thoroughly distracted:]

is that even a human voice
it sounds weird
and atrocious
this music is terrible my sksleton has better taste

[doggedly]

PRECISELY


leprechaun singing in a cave with a headcold

[doggedly]

what sort of music do skeletons like anyways

& this skeleton walks about on its own doesnt it
youre not actually talking about your own

[mikangirl]

he walks around on his own yes
plays the violin mostly some piano too
he's very musical he loves it a lot he came from a musical crew

I think most would prefer him over ke$ha
I can't see him liking ke$ha

[doggedly]

hang on a crew of what


other musical skeletons ?

[mikangirl]

[She's laughing over here.]

no normal pirates
well as normal as musical pirates can be
he's not with them anymore
he didn't used to be a skeleton either

it's a long story

[doggedly]

oh well i know the start of that last long story anyways
everyones a skeleton underenath flesh & blood & skin



dunno about musical pirates though
we have got a normal one

[mikangirl]

most stories begin the same

...who??

[doggedly]

bloke with the hook for the hand
cant miss him

[mikangirl]

[Well. Nobody she cares about, then. Damn.]

well that sounds stereotypical
is he a jerk

[doggedly]

it is a bit
& he is a bit


but i mean hes a pirate isnt he

[mikangirl]

I know a lot of pirates without hooks
I myself have managed to keep all my body parts
which is good for everyone involved I'm sure

what's his name?

[doggedly]

oh so youre a pirate as well! thats brilliant
musical ?
skeletal ?
whole obviously youve said that arleady


& get this his name
is hook
imaginative innit

[mikangirl]

I'll leave the skeletal and musical bits to someone else. I'm a cute pirate. [Best kind, obviously.]

...that doesn't surprise me. It's lame, but in our world we've got a Blackbeard, a Whitebeard, Red Hair, Straw Hat... you can guess what their defining characteristic is
government is not very imaginative

though oddly Whitebeard doesn't have a beard he only has a giant mustache
maybe he had one when he was young

[doggedly]

[Government??? he thinks, first, and then, privateers, right. His perception of pirates is all informed by 1970's muggle media but he is still English thanks and has at least heard, in passing, of Sir Francis Drake (from a muggle girl in a pub once and they were both pretty pissed but

the point remains)]

maybe his beard grows in time of trouble
hair from moustache all reroutes down to sprout upon chin instead

so what are you called
Cuteface the Pirate ?
