[that's valid, the swamp sucks. when he nearly runs into her, she startles, but recovers pretty fast - grins brightly at him, pointy teeth and all. and she very quickly slams her box shut.]
Oh, hey! Nah, you didn't interrupt. I was just... brooding, actually, wow. I was really out here brooding. Enough of that. You get dropped here too?
[sometimes you are very bad at being subtle and hiding things is hard]
Guess so. Gotta watch your back, though, there's hags out in swamps.
[she gives him a look over, and then kind of laughs.] They're so fancy! You're going to get mud everywhere in all the places. Nice threads, though. Looks expensive.
I like everybody here, really, I'm just fucking around, but. It's kind of hard to not have some difficult run-ins, right? We've got a big group, and people act stupid when they're scared.
And I'm a bit spooky to people who haven't seen anybody like me before, so.
It's a big prison, but we're not allowed leave. All we're doing is waiting for the guy to come out and monologue our ears off about what the evil plan is.
We've got so many. If we can rally the troops, fancy pants, we could take over. We'll have to call in law'n'order, she'll have good ideas on tossing the government.
No idea, I only just met her here. I think her name's Aerith? She's really good at coming up with laws. You know, like the law of open the fucking roads up and hey, get this fog outta here!

I guess if you wanted to brood, this swamp is the perfect place to do it. Who'd want to come out all this way, right?
[ He sure as heck wishes he HADN'T. ]
That's right. Well, I fetched my clothes, but putting them on here wasn't a great idea, I can tell you that.

Glad someone can recognize that.
[ But, more importantly, ]
What's this about hags?
no subject
Big nasty creatures. They smell like bog and ass, and they eat babies and make deals. But the deal always goes bad for you eventually, you know?
no subject
[ He says this like... genuinely. ]
But I appreciate the warning. It sounds easy enough to avoid them. Just stay away from the smell, right?
no subject
[she raises an eyebrow, but she's a bit amused by it.]
Just stay away from the smell and the piss-poor attitude. [...] So I guess like half the people who dropped in here.
[be nice karlach]

Well, I wasn't going to be the one to say it. Had some difficult run-ins, then?

[ He is used to different looking people that's what space travel will do to a person. ]
Still, most of them seem willing to cooperate. That's always promising.

[she kind of loves it? she's an adventurer at heart.]
Anyway, you're right, this is the most well-behaved group of prisoners I've ever seen.

[ It's not like they're just supposed to waste away here, right... ]

Okay, new plan. Villain comes out, we both stand up and tackle them to the dirt and feed 'em to the leeches if they don't send us home.

What about you, find anybody you like around here?
