[Matt had ventured into deck 12 today, looking for knick knacks and other miscellaneous items. While digging through the suitcases, he happened upon one completely filled with the letters of the English alphabet.

In a move that could only be described as pure genius, he stuck his hand into the suitcase, just to see if it was really full of magnetic letters. And yeah, it really was. Unfortunately, when he pulled his hand back out, it was covered in letters. He tried to get them off. But they only ended up stuck to him. Excellent There's one stuck to his stomach, there's one on his shoulder, his forehead, and his ass. Yeah don't even ask.

The comm clicks on.]

--stupid thing. A little help? Please?

[Jael pauses in her shuffling long enough to type a reply.]

A man attacked me.

[commentlog]

[madteos]

What?

[Forgive him. He's genuinely shocked. This sort of ting doesn't usually happen back where he's from.]

[commentlog]

[muteforareason]

I couldn't keep out of his business, so that man...well, the best word I can think of is that he sicced his servant on me.

[She starts digging through the suitcase with renewed vigor.]

[madteos]

[Matt just kind of pauses and stands and he doesn't mean to stare, Jael. So please forgive him. Finally, though, he blinks and goes back to digging through the suitcase. He's silent for a minute, before finally:]

I'm sorry.

[muteforareason]

[Jael smiles wanly and shakes her head.]

No need to apologize, dear.

[She pauses and pulls an intricate dream catcher out of the suitcase. She studies it curiously.]

[madteos]

[Matt sighs. He wouldn't mind finding this guy and punching his lights out. And it bothers him that he feels that way.]

He hasn't bothered you again, right?

[commentlog]

[muteforareason]

[Jael shakes her head and sets the dream catcher aside.]

No, I haven't seen either one of them around.

[commentlog]

[madteos]

Well good.

[He finally spies the dream catcher and motions toward it. Change of subject sounds like a good idea.]

What's that?

[commentlog]

[muteforareason]

Don't know. I've never seen anything like this.

[Jael shrugs and offers it to Matt.]

[commentlog]

[madteos]

[He takes it, examines it for a moment, then makes a mental note to go to the library and look it up. Adding it to his pile of stuff.]

I'll have to look into it.

[commentlog]

[muteforareason]

[Jael nods and goes back to digging through the suitcase. There's got to be something that Matt will like in there...

Or not. She closes that suitcase and slides it away, nabbing a duffel bag to look through this time.]
