[treasurehunts]

I ain't responsible for any of the actions I have taken within the past 7 days.

[but he doesn't sound guilty]

On that note.

I woke up with a shitload of shiny crap in my ship and one mute kid that I don't want anymore.

Come and claim the kid. I'm keepin' the gold, though.

[... Yeah, he gets that feeling.

Oh well. He just sighs.]

Good enough for me, I guess.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Then I'll count on ya to hold me back 'fore I knock their lights out prematurely.

'cause I've got a bone to pick with the assholes in charge here. And a couple demands.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how I'm gonna 'hold you back', but I'll do my best...

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

... just remind me that I can never lose sight of what I'm fightin' for.

That should do it.

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

[... Heh.]

Can't lose sight of what you're fighting for. Got it.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

S'what I tell my men but-

... we're all human, right? [a loud laugh at that]

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

[... Um.
















... Oh right, not everyone has an alien for a girlfriend.]

Heh... right.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[.... now it'd be impossible to miss that pause.]

Or... not.

You got a different tale to tell, kid?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not really my story to tell, but you could say that...

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Sounds like ya come from an interestin' place!

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it. Pretty much everything I knew about it got turned upside down in a year.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

That bad?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't really say that it's bad, but it's a lot to get used to—realizing how narrow-minded your view of the world really is.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Ha! Then I figure you ain't doin' a bad job of growin' up, kid. You doin' travelin' or something'?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

I'd hope so, or else Grandpa will kill me.

[A grin]

Among other things.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

Ahh yeah. You never let down the ancestors or else they'll have at your ass from wherever the hell they're at.

Yeah? What's got ya bein' so productive then?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

Well, Grandpa's still very much alive, which makes him more dangerous than my ancestors, I think...

[There is a pause here.]

Um... trying to prevent space from tearing apart, for starters.

[treasurehunted.livejournal.com]

[ . . . wait-]

Yer gramps made it this long?

[THAT IS UNHEARD OF WHERE HE COMES FROM.]

... and how's that workin' out for you?

[heroistics.livejournal.com]

... Yeah? He's not that old.

Well, the planet's still around, so I'm guessing pretty good for now.
