...I really, truly hate this so-called "holiday."

The next person I hear yell out "Shiver me timbers!" or call me "matey" I will take to the nearest boat I can find and literally keelhaul him. See how well they like the pirate life then.

What's the matter kid? Can't join in on a little hearty singing and name calling? Tsk, Tsk, spoil sport.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

I leave the singing to the sirens, Father. But, poor accents and scraps of misused jargon are just banal. Why not go all out and show piracy the way it really was if one us going to attempt to glorify it?

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

You do live in a frat house kid, I don't know what you're expecting. Most times the zoo is in your front lawn.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Not in my house, Father. I hold my men to a higher standard than that.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

They just do your bidding, pipsqueak. You may have a tight ship, but mine's even tighter. Consider yourself just swimming in the paddling pool right now.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Yes, Father.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

So you passed my first test, not well I'll say. I expect you'll be in NY soon for the next one. Sooner rather than later.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Yes, sir. Would you prefer I call on you at home or at your office?

Home address here. We've got some bitter discussion to get underway. Mostly a fifteen year old that doesn't like you. That doesn't settle well, Triton.

As you say, Father, although being liked has never been my priority. I do not wish to arrive unannounced. Would Friday evening be soon enough?

[Filter]

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

I suppose it could be. Six. Can you handle that.

[Filter]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Yes, Father. Friday, six o'clock on the dot. I would come sooner, but my schedule does not allow for wiggle room on weeknights, and I would not wish to be an imposition when your household would also have work and school early the next morning.

Bring a bottle of scotch with you, and we'll see how nicely this goes.

I'm sorry, Father, but that is a request I won't be able to fulfill for this visit. My twenty-first birthday isn't until January.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Well, fuck me. It's what false ID's are for, or buddies that are older than you.

[Filter]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

False IDs and lawbreaking are something I would never tolerate from my followers, and I lead by example. I'll bring tonic water and Coke--you can mix to your heart's delight. What does the fifteen-year-old like? I'll bring something for her too.

Gods kid you are a tight ass with that shit. It doesn't get you on my good side just yet.

Fifteen year old has a name, Triton. Learn it. She likes root beer.

[Filter]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Understood, Father.

My apologies. She neglected to mention what it was. But I will bring root beer for her.

[Filter]

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

If you were arguing with her as much as she claims, I wouldn't expect her to. She's a spitfire. A&W, nothing else or she will throw it in your face. Her name is Chelsea.

[Filter]

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

I see.

I will bring some A&W for Chelsea, then.

[enosichthon.insanejournal.com]

Smart boy.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Thank you, Father. I look forward to our visit.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

I guess that sort of thing might be more common around colleges.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Ridiculously so, Cousin.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Are any of your friends into it, or just random people?

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Mostly random idiots. I don't allow such frivolity from my fraternity brothers or my teammates.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Well, bright side: at least it isn't anyone who matters annoying you.

[heraldofthedeep.insanejournal.com]

Something like that.
