Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:30:57 AM)
*Octavian is quietly grilling on the deck! The smell of chicken and hotdogs fills the air*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:34:04 AM)
Azu was taking up space in the conference room today, books around her of various topics. Though the smell of food drew the attention of the eshuess and she'd head out from there. Nameless was back to resting on the docks. She is wearing a regular shirt and pants instead of a dress. Her bruises are barely starting to heal, but they are at least showing some progress.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:34:54 AM)
*Every once in a while, he'd whistle and toss the dragon a hot dog, or bit of chicken, as long as no one was around to catch the action or see invisible food-eating*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:37:59 AM)
Azu smiled some at that, Nameless would nom some meat when tossed some, it would vanish from even the sight of the Kithain after a moment into the watery body. "Good evening Captain Van Deraa, you seem to be in better spirits today."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:40:07 AM)
Of course. Why wouldn't I be? *He offers Azu a bottle of apple juice from a cooler next to the little hibachi*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:40:50 AM)
She accepts with a smile. "You've been a bit grumpier than usual it's seemed."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:41:12 AM)
She opens the apple juice and takes a drink, leaning on wall/railing whichever was closer.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:41:25 AM)
I'm -always- grumpy. You're just getting used to it.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:43:40 AM)
"Thus why I said 'than usual'." She chuckled. "Oh, I spoke with a Mister Darby O'Tool, a boggan that seems a recent arrival to the city. He said he wished to speak to you about possibly working on the Everbright. Miss Faith was looking for you as well. I was thinking about making a list to hang on your door."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:44:55 AM)
Should I get you a short little skirt and a pair of glasses, so you can 'hmm' at people from behind a desk and call yourself an executive assistant?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:46:22 AM)
She shook her head. "No, I wouldn't wear something like that and I'm just passing on messages. Apparently it's fairly well known that you've taken me in for a while, I suppose people expect me to know where you are." Shrug.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:48:01 AM)
Sorry about that. Most people probably consider you my apprentice.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:48:56 AM)
"I have taken off a bit with the crafting things I suppose." She nodded thoughtfully. "And it's all right, I don't mind passing a few messages, I just think it's funny."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:49:38 AM)
It's hilarious. *he says with a grin, flipping chicken and hot dogs over * Well, to me at least.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:50:08 AM)
"Oh?" She canted her head. Taking a drink of the apple juice.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:50:31 AM)
Yeah. Especially when all they really need to do is leave a message with Everbright.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:51:51 AM)
"Well, I think most people don't appreciate what she's capable of." She patted the ship fondly.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:52:48 AM)
There is that. I've been amazed at how often people are surprised by her voice, even though I speak of her as a sentient being.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:53:47 AM)
"We live in a world of wonders, yet that people can still be surprised so often is good I think. Keeps them on their toes."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:54:30 AM)
Keeps the Dream alive and breathing. I shudder to think of a world where all dreams have been dreamed.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 12:56:16 AM)
"Indeed." She nodded. "So what have you been up to lately while everyone's been looking for you."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 12:58:27 AM)
Working. Trying to make new contacts, mostly.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:00:45 AM)
"Fair enough." She nodded. "You should try to visit Mister O'Tool's little shop sometime, it's nice. I stopped by for a bit with Nigel and his shrimp gumbo was just amazing."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:01:41 AM)
He's got a restaurant? What does he need a job for then?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:02:08 AM)
"I don't know...perhaps he means only for missions." She shrugged lightly. "I didn't ask him."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:02:33 AM)
*he nods* I'll have to talk to him I guess.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:04:10 AM)
"He also mentioned being able to help with repairs, I told him much of it was done but he could always speak to you about it."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:05:16 AM)
I really do need a secretary. Shit.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:05:55 AM)
Azu laughed at that. "Well, I did mention the writing things down on a clipboard that could be hung on your door."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:08:45 AM)
*he harumphs, offering Azu a chunk of chicken fresh off the grill* Maybe a notice board at the end of the plank.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:10:12 AM)
She'd take the plate, or get a plate, depending, picking up utencils and sitting down. Cutting it so it had time to cool. "Now Hiring."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:11:09 AM)
*He snickers* Exactly. Old school.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:11:42 AM)
She ponders. "Three Meals a Day, Room and Board, Adventure, Possible Doom over every wave...well cloud."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:12:57 AM)
I'd have a line of Eshu around the block.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:13:23 AM)
"If there were any Eshu other than myself in New Orleans." She commented, perhaps a bit sadly, taking a bite of her chicken.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:14:33 AM)
We could advertise for them.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:15:16 AM)
She shook her head, but smiled. Sipping her apple juice before speaking. "I'm not certain that would work."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:15:42 AM)
I could dare them all to show up.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:16:08 AM)
"They'd have to be here first." She did chuckle at that though.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:16:23 AM)
Nah. I'd just take out an add in some national paper.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:17:16 AM)
"Seeking eshu. I dare you to come work for me. That is all."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:17:41 AM)
I'd put it more like 'I dare you all to prove your worth as sailors.'
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:18:16 AM)
"Well, there'd probably be many more ships out and about, and you might help put a stop to some piracy rings."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:19:05 AM)
Exciting. Might be worth it.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:20:00 AM)
She chuckled. "You are being rather silly today Captain. Perhaps your time as jester has worn off a bit on you."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:20:43 AM)
Meh. It can't rain all the time, Azu. I'm letting shit go with the smoke of the hibachi.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:21:51 AM)
"So grilling is a manner in which you relax?" Ever curious.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:22:17 AM)
It's one of many. I meditate. Bet you didn't know that.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:22:55 AM)
"I didn't picture you to be a meditating sort no." She shook her head, at least she was honest. She ate some between speaking but had the proper etiquette of not speaking while chewing.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:23:32 AM)
I'd be a lot worse if I didn't.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:23:57 AM)
She laughed at some mental image she had from that comment. "I see."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:25:34 AM)
Yeah. You think the caps around here are bad.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:27:15 AM)
"It is good then. I could never settle my mind enough to meditate, my gran tried to teach me before but the only times I come close are during ceremonial events."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:30:09 AM)
It's good, yes. For me, it's more thinking over things I need to think over, all at once, in an organized way.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:31:14 AM)
She nodded a bit, smiling. "It is not an image I expected, logical though."
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:36:56 AM)
She seemed to ponder as she ate, at first likely trying to picture Octavian meditating, then seeming to get lose in some other thought or time.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:37:34 AM)
It's something I learned way back when. The Admiral insisted.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:37:34 AM)
lose-lost*
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:38:43 AM)
She blinked a bit, coming back to present, nodding a little with a chuckle. "I have a hard time picturing people giving you orders. Oh! That reminds me!" Suddenly remembering.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:39:48 AM)
"Uh..." Pause...pondering and less excited once she thought about it. "I wanted to ask for your help with something...if you are able."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:39:58 AM)
Of course. What did you need?
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:41:18 AM)
"I wanted to try to build a bit of personal strength as it were...so I was wondering if you could order me about a bit with Soverign so i could try to resist...I suppose it sounds silly."

You want to strengthen your persona Will?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:42:33 AM)
>personal
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:42:39 AM)
She nodded.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:43:00 AM)
Well, no need for using compulsion on you. I have methods for that.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:43:23 AM)
She canted her head, curiously.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:43:35 AM)
Boot camp. It worked for me.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:45:27 AM)
"Perhaps..."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:46:44 AM)
Well, if you're putting yourself in my hands, we'll start with that. I don't know if repeated and long-term mind control will have any negative features, so...
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:49:15 AM)
She nodded some. "I hadn't ever heard of any paricular negative effects of such in my studies, other than a dislike for the power in question...but I did ask. I trust you."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:49:37 AM)
...just a warning...It'll be hard. And might take some time. I have to break you down before I build you back up.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:50:52 AM)
"Well, there's little I don't think I can survive." She shrugged lightly, recklessness at it's best right there.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:52:12 AM)
Exactly. Just don't think I'll go easy on you because I like you.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:54:28 AM)
"As long as it's nothing that sets back my recovery I'll manage. At worst I'll change my mind."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:55:15 AM)
Well, I'm not going to, like, take you over my knee, pull down your pants and spank your bottom. As fun as that'd be.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:55:59 AM)
She raised a brow at him. "You're interests are surprising as usual Captain Van Deraa."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:56:21 AM)
*he smirks* Good.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:56:54 AM)
A small roll of the eyes. "Incorrigable as usual as well."
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 1:57:19 AM)
Shit yeah. *He looks around a bit* Damnit. The one night I cook, nobody shows up to eat.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:58:04 AM)
"I thought it was good." She commented, having picked her chicken clean. Pushing herself up and settling the plate down in whatever place seems best suited for it.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 1:58:32 AM)
"You want me to help you put things away and clean up?"
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 2:00:29 AM)
*he nods...but he's already stacking food in tupperware* Yeah. Thank you. (bedtiiime for me. I'll be on tomorrow though.
Azu Ongokos (Mar 7, 2011 2:00:43 AM)
(okies, I'll catch you tomorrow. Sleep well :) )
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 7, 2011 2:00:54 AM)
(night!
