Th' next time this Barge feels like poking around in my head, I'll be keeping to my quarters. The lot of yeh - useless dregs not fit to scrub a floor. It's bad enough I'm locked in here with you, I don't need to call any of yeh friends.

[Private to Bush]

Was dealing with me yerself so difficult that you sought to work through less offensive channels, Captain?

[Private to Arthas]

A word, my king.

[Can you feel that heavy sarcasm, Arthas?]

[darknessb4me]

So be it.

[pvtparts]

[Pretty sure you can get a prescription of a chill pill from the infirmary for that, Jones.]

Well then, sir, it seems as though this would be a great time to learn how to do just that. It can be a handy skill to have, sir.

[outofclothes]

You're supposed to be like the Waterworld Satan, aren't you? Shouldn't you be--I don't know--be able to keep up with old adages?

[tentacruelest]

Not when you are resting at the bottom of the sea, unable to step foot on land for near of a decade. The men I encounter from the day to day are more often than not...not the chatty type.

[tentacruelest]

[Pretty sure you can stuff that attitude, little miss upstart boots]

Call me Captain or nothing. And I find nothing you sell worth buying.

[surfaceshine]

You know, call me crazy, but you really haven't done much actual killing since you got here.

Not that I'm complaining, but there it is.

[tentacruelest]

Seeing as how my beloved warden's sapped my strength in my claw arm, I'm not surprised. Did he tell yeh about the time I killed him? I expect he kept that one a secret out of embarrassment.

[godsays]

What happened?

private

[tentacruelest]

She promised she would come to meet me when her powers returned.

She did not.

[outofclothes]

So you're not completely bugfuck.

Good to know.

[pvtparts]

Aye aye, Captain.

Fortunate I'm not attempting to sell anything then, isn't it, Captain? I'm a soldier, not a salesman, Captain.

[tentacruelest]

You sell your words and your personality and your supposed friendship and I'll have none of your charlatan ways.

[tentacruelest]

If I was, would I be here?

private

[godsays]

[ He's off-balance. He's not sure what he's doing here, anymore, what he's trying to accomplish in this conversation. ]

I'm sorry.

I was betrayed, too - by a woman.

private

[tentacruelest]

Was it love?

private

[godsays]

Obsession, probably.

private

[tentacruelest]

Obsession can be love, in a certain light.

private

[godsays]

It was the closest thing I had. I thought she would save me.

private

[tentacruelest]

She was the article of your destruction. They're all the same.

[pvtparts]

You misunderstand, Captain. You don't sell friendship. You offer it.

[outofclothes]

...There's a guy here who eats people regularly. You really think there's some kind of exception?

[tentacruelest]

Other than that, I am led to believe he is completely sane. But he has not tried eating me, and he'd be more the fool if he had.

[tentacruelest]

It is not worth the price even then.

private

[godsays]

No. We made our peace here.

[outofclothes]

I'm pretty sure you'd just be eaten, Octopussy. Probably with some soy sauce and wasabi.
