Bring me yer dead and dying, Admiral. I should like to laugh in Sparrow's face one last time before surrendering to your eternal hell.


...He is dead, is he not?

Wow, seriously?

[ He's a big dude, taking him out would be a challenge. Unless she had her gear, of course. But little-her doesn't have any gear. ]

Dave, that wasn't me. I'm in Gotham. Married. [ She holds up her left hand for him to see the ring. ] Left the barge months ago. Remember?

What did you do that other-me broke your ribs?

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

Davy. Davy Jones, girl. Don't be plying the wrong name to me.

No. I don't damn well remember. I remember last week when yeh did it.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

[ Again, yikes. ] Sorry, I figured it was short for David.

Last week Kon and I were moving. Do I seriously not even look older to you or anything?

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I haven't been called David since I was half as high as you. It's Davy or nothing.

I can't tell. Yeh all look alike to me.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Noted.

Blonde white girls, or humans in general?

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

Girls in general.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Not big on facial features, huh. Well I am. If you want proof, you can go look at her feed. We had a conversation about an hour ago.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

Not big on females. I've been decades away at sea.

No interest in it.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Right, and I'm guessing you're not from that time when lady pirates were killin' it being total badasses.

The point is, I didn't break your ribs.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I've met a fair number of 'em. Not impressed.

You're certainly adamant about it. I won't be swayed from my due.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Oh, come on. Don't beat up a little girl just because I reminded you that she exists. She's been through enough already.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I give back only what I'm given. By my count she's owed a few broken bones. I'll let her pick which ones and yeh can't ask for a fairer deal'n that.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

[ ... Well it's something. ]

You make a compelling argument. But you know if you come at her all "yarrrrr I'm gonna break yer bones ye wee wench!" she's just gonna freak out and try to break yours again, right? I mean, it's what I would do.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I like the fear in their eyes when I come to collect.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Yeah see that's the part that makes kids like her who haven't learned self control yet go straight for the jugular. Christ, has nobody ever told you about cornered animals?

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

Don't get much of animals on my ship: no. Speak your piece.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Even the gentlest animals will bite if you corner them. You want her not to attack you? Don't threaten her. She'll defend herself. And if I remember right, she'll defend herself hard.

Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I didnae threaten her.

Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

...Did you threaten her friends?

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

Some slight little boy with a large dog. I killed him.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Oh for Christ sake. [ FACEPALMING SO HARD. ]

Okay. This is by no means strategical advice, because it definitely won't get you what you want. But it took me a really long time to learn how to fight for someone else and myself at the same time. Attacking someone else is like attacking her but worse.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I was a bit preoccupied at the moment. I don't oft stop to think about how my killing affects others as I'm killing 'em.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

Well that's why you got your ribs broken. Mystery solved.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

It was no mystery!

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

See, that was sarcasm, because it was just so painfully obvious why you're getting in fights with teenaged vigilantes when you go around killing people without giving it any thought.
