03. The Warrior of Fire

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[Stop by Δ Choosing Unlimited Hand Song today and you may find someone sprawled out on one of the bridges, wearing a pendant or medallion of some sort.

S/he? looks lost, but not in the sense that she doesn't know where she is, but more that this is something she'd been missing for quite some time, and is busy remembering the events of another history.

Too busy, perhaps, to notice a wayward monster? Or are you just curious?]

So... if I'm reading this correctly, you're the rebellious older daughter of nobility who left the title and power to your sister in order to live an adventurous life?

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

More "long-lost" than "rebellious", but something like that, not that she didn't have an adventurous life.

[greatcleavage]

Well, I promise not to make a big deal out of it. [Because she is obviously not interested in having anyone suddenly think different of her because of this revelation.]

How did you come about the lifestyle, though, if I might ask?

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Would you believe I fell off a wind drake?

[greatcleavage]

At this point, my standards of belief are pretty low. I guess that falling damage roll came up oddly low, huh?

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

What roll? I fell into water.

[Being rescued by that pirate ship was basically a miracle, in other words.]

[greatcleavage]

Oh, of course!

[Because if there's one thing that doesn't exist in the fantasy RPG genre, it's fluid dynamics. Roy is totally fine with this explanation.]

But I'm guessing you didn't get the 'stranded on a desert island' route.

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[yeah, those suck. If all else fails she can breathe underwater for ten minutes.]

Nope, barely any islands in the Sea of Tycoon. Just a passing ship.

[greatcleavage]

[What is she, a bliztball player?]

Ah ha! Now it all falls into place. A romantic life on the high seas!

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

[considering the party's loli Krile can also do that... probably not.]

No, you've got it all wrong! I was taken in by pirates!

[greatcleavage]

Well, I'm assuming they didn't abuse you too badly or kill you, so how was being taken in by pirates not a romantic adventure on the high seas?

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

Well, I'm single. You tell me.

[greatcleavage]

Well, the concept of a 'romantic' adventure isn't limited to literal romance, but also heroic deeds and exploits in a colorful setting.

[ladieswhodresslikemen]

I wouldn't exactly have called it heroic, either.

[greatcleavage]

Didn't have the good fortune of winding up in the only ship crewed by Chaotic Good pirates, I take it.
