Really. An entire day dedicated to the speech of the lawless, the dissolute, the disease-ridden, and the ill-educated? I fail to see why this is necessary. Certainly there isn't 'international talk like an urchin day's or 'beggar day' as well. Hasn't the future wreaked enough havoc on the King's English as it is?

Well, to be entirely fair, we don't have a king right now, we have a queen and a few misbehaving princes roaming about. And as for country, we aren't exactly dominating the Caribbean quite the way we used to back in your day.

So, in short: not really.

[chapter_behind]

At least you're honest about it.

[notjustathief]

Of course I am. Considering my previous line of work, is it a real shock I feel affinity to others on the not-so-legal side of things?

Or, in short: shiver me timbers, arrrrrr.

[chapter_behind]

I don't know what that is, but it's certainly not actual pirate speech.

[notjustathief]

How about this instead? Avast ye mateys! Swab the deck! Arrrrr.

Good lord. Enjoyyour day, Mr. Eames.

[notjustathief]

And ye enjoy your day of delightful pirate-speak, yarrrrrr.

[chapter_behind]

You sound ridiculous, Mr. Eames.

[notjustathief]

I always sound ridiculous.

[chapter_behind]

And you are inordinately proud of it.

[notjustathief]

I'm merely honest about my own personality traits.

[chapter_behind]

Mmm-hmm.

[notjustathief]

Are you saying I'm not, now?

[chapter_behind]

I would never.

[notjustathief]

Good to hear.
