Fireshard 1:The Meaningless Holiday [video]

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[Today, as a lot of the Visitors may have noticed with only a passing glance, is September 19. For Faris, this date holds no real significance.

But there was no escaping the fact that someone, somewhere, knew about International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

And a lot of the people that did had found her.]

Anyone mind tellin' me why everyone's tryin' to do really bad impressions of me today?

Easier said than done, lass. I'm gettin' a bit stir-crazy.

"Well, I don't have much experience with piracy, other than shooting down the ones who attack colonies. Still, I would imagine most people would find it less amusing with a cutlass pointed at them? Or you could go to a sports area where the more 'normal' people who are too good for this sort of thing congregate."

"I'm more of a straightsword person anyway. That n' ninja swords."

[electricyousei]

"I know very little about swords. I tend to conduct most combat in ship to ship means."

"And you just hope they surrender instead of boarding 'em?"

That's not very effective, even if you're the one defending.

[electricyousei]

"No, I have mecha pilots for boarding actions. They're trained in that sort of thing."

"That probably means you've got a rank. Mind sharing?"

[electricyousei]

"Officially I'm Lt. Commander, but I'm still Captain of my ship on it, and princess of Peaceland when I'm on Earth. That doesn't really matter here."
