[It's just part of a newspaper article, talking about the hero of some country- wait is that the guy whose account this is in that picture?]

[ slow clap. it's hard to tell whether it's genuine or sarcastic applause. ]

[After a minute to see what posted...]

It must be getting desperate if it's posting things like that.

[jailbirds]

I guess you're neglecting us, and it's getting pissy about it.

So. Mr. Big Hero, huh?

[desertification]

[How needy is this damn thing?]

It's just a job.

[jailbirds]

Aah? You seem pretty modest for the usual hard-headed, shit-for-brains, goody two-shoes heroes that normally show up here. Not into that kinda thing?

[ it's interesting, because every "hero" type she knows is loud and obnoxious. maybe it's just because this guy's an adult. or does he not think of himself the way that they do? ]

[notmynature]

No shit, real pirates?

voice;

[desertification]

Of course.

They aren't common in your world?

always voice;

[notmynature]

Unless common means doesn't exist...no.

Wait...wait...IS THAT A HOOK ON YOUR ARM?!

also always voice;

[desertification]

Is it really necessary to yell?

[notmynature]

Hell yeah it is, you have a hook on your arm. Did you lose it in a pirate fight?

[refinedvillian]

Are congratulations in order?

voice;

[desertification]

Hardly.

It's not like that lot was a challenge.

voice;

[refinedvillian]

[There's a chuckle.] Dramatic end? I'd like to hear the story.

voice;

[desertification]

There's not much to tell. I got word that a pirate crew had landed in Tamarisk, so I went over and took care of it.

always voice;

[refinedvillian]

Where did the dramatics come in?

[rosejam]

Oh, that sounds like an amazing story!

voice;

[desertification]

It's fairly standard around here.

voice;

[rosejam]

It may be but there's not many pirates around Geutrink, thankfully. Yet I don't think it's not that often I can talk to someone who fought off a crew of pirates.

voice;

[desertification]

It seems like pirates are more common in my world than most.

voice;

[rosejam]

I don't live near the ocean, currently, but I know there were some in the capital city.

[of_many_treasures]

Not bad at all.

voice;

[desertification]

It's not really all that noteworthy.

Re: voice;

[of_many_treasures]

Noteworthy enough to get into the news.

voice;

[desertification]

You must have a lot of faith in newspapers.

Re: voice;

[of_many_treasures]

Not really. Just making idle comments on how they must be needing something new.
