Nov. 13th, 2007 08:53 pmonly the barest start. the pirates will, uh, be more obvious eventually ^^;;;
now behave a bit and I'll attempt to write more this weekend.
Kasumi eyed the man before him, grateful for the mask that hid his distaste.
So this was the brilliant Lord Luther Hacker-Rosque?
He was not impressed.
A brilliant man, they had been told. Intelligence beyond compare, with looks and poise to match.
The man before them now was short and…disconnected looking. His glasses were crooked, hair spilling free of a bright blue silk ribbon, and his clothes looked as though his valet had pressed them while heavily intoxicated.
If this was the man with whom his master was to be keeping company…Kasumi wondered if he might arrange a parting of ways.
Fingers pressed lightly at his back, warning him to remain still.
That his master was so easily able to predict his thoughts was disconcerting, but Kasumi was used to it.
He did not take his eyes from Lord Hacker-Rosque. Surely this clumsy looking man was not the one about whom they had heard so much? He was a veritable buffoon, hardly worthy of his master…
A soft word drew his attention and he turned smoothly to follow Master Minoru up the gangway and into the waiting ship. Silent, elegant, a masked mystery whose presence would do much to dissuade impertinence and threats.
No one would touch Minoru, and if he had his way that idiotic looking fool would not come near enough to converse. Master was a man of honor and dignity; he did not consort with fools.
Three months, this journey.
Kasumi was beginning to doubt they would pass with any sort of speed. He half hoped for some excitement, but did not let the thought carry far enough for the gods to make note.
A scuffling noise behind, a startled gasp, and he turned sharply around to catch Lord Hacker-Rosque before he could fall to the deck. Sneering behind his mask, he let the clumsy man go once he was securely on his feet.
"Thank you," Hacker-Rosque said politely, smiling.
Kasumi turned sharply away to rejoin his master, who had gotten several paces ahead.
"Do not mind Kasumi," Master Minoru said with one of his gentle smiles. "He was happy to help."
He begged to differ, but would not argue his master in public.
"Come," Hacker-Rosque said, brushing back a strand of his messy hair. "I will show you your quarters."

By the way, this is fabulous. I knew it would take you like 2.5 seconds (if that??) to set up a believable premise. For some reason, I really like Kasumi's name. And hooray for forced interactions on a tiny vessel!
Wait, I bet the pirate does not have a tiny vessel at all A-HUR HUR.

Date: 2007-11-14 03:49 am (UTC)1) you can write anything. this includes
a) politics
b) het
c) incest
d) mixed/crazy multiple/probably made up relationships
e) fantasy
f) sci fi
g) and things probably not even thought up yet
2) therefore, you convert people to things they didn't think possible
3) you write at a freakin' AMAZING rate. (although still not fast enough for your adoring fans)
4) you write on demand (or bribery) (mostly-- i want end of black magic! (please))
5) your writing don't get boring when i reread. in fact, i catch subtle stuff the second (or fiftieth) time i read it.
6) *rubs hands together* and now we get more. you totally rock.
thankee! pirates vs ninjas! score!

Date: 2007-11-14 10:59 am (UTC)Okay, everyone is finding something funny about Hacker-Rosque that is going totally over my head. I just pulled the name from a file at work. Obviously some poor bastard is sick of whatever joke is cracking the rest of you up.
