William Brand

Bravo et magnifique, William!! What my distant cousins call "the Soup of Life", mon ami!! I would very much like a large bowl of the Gumbo and a side of Shrimp Remoulade! Do not spare the Cayenne, s'il vous plait! I will assume that you are prefecting the roux the traditional way, oui? Ah, a bottle of Burgandy would compliment very well. Merci beaucoup, William!!

Le ladie a l'excellent goût. Aye.

There are fewer than I suspected. Aye.

We have a redhead shortage!

Arrrrrr...today's special be gumbo.

The sorry thing... didn't really mean it, I was just tryin' ter make ya feel better! HAR HAR!! As far as the steak, rare would be nice! Thanks!!

Okay...but could you eat over the plate, please?

Nay. don't be sorry mate. Twouldn't be a pirate establishment if they didn't carry out a pirate the next day. Aye.

How do you take your steak?

Ow. I need some ice. I was hit with a chair the other night at The Red Dragon. I think I have a black eye...

...hmmm. Today's special is raw steak.

/blushes/

Such verbose you proffer.....Do it again.

Of course.

(goes about putting out the spare candles of adjacent tables and stokes the hearth logs)

I keep a wine of such an age that a man almost killed my for it. I'll go and fetch it.

A very lovely notion, dear William...For the moon is in her Full phase and I can think of no better thing than delicate pasteries and a rich-bodied wine to be shared between friends in silvery lumination.

Aye. Let us toast to abscent friends.

May they stay far away whilst I have you to myself this night. lol.

My dearest Red Bess is too honest to actually post her picture here, so I'll do the deed for her.

In my heart she is a redhead. She was born a redhead trapped in a ash-blonde's body. It just took a while for her inner redhead to manifest itself.

Now let's not split hairs here, folks. It ain't cheatin if she was meant to be red and her follicles didn't cooperate.

One can neither blame follicles or barnicles. Aye.

Here's to redheads in spirit!

You are ever so considerate, mon ami. A glass of Sherry for you?

Please.

Any requests?

/Fills a glass of sherry and slides it over to William with a nod/

Requests? Non, I trust your judgement, mon ami. It is a pity, if I had known that you were of musical pursuation, I would have brought my 'cello and offered a duet. Perhaps another time, oui? My compliments on this delectible meal, William. Such flavor would please Neptune himself! Bravo!!

(bows low)

Most kind, lass. Most kind. It seems that we have the Tsunami all to ourselves tonight. I shall pillage my own stores for some pastries and wine and we shall sing until the moon comes up. Perhaps longer.

Tis a quiet night, it is. Aye.

(mops the bar)

There must be more redheads here than this!

Arrrrrrr!

(wets his pipes with rum and begins to sing)

Aye.

You are ever so considerate, mon ami. A glass of Sherry for you?

Please.

Any requests?

William... you know them too???

right now...they're telling me to eat chocolate...

damn voices.

Ohh - yes, todays special looks divine! I'll a platter of that and that bottle of Chiraz I see there and any more compliments you feel like dishing up!

Excellent choice...

Have you seen the women who frequent this place?

And today's special? Of course it's heaven.

*swaggers in the door* 'Ello all! A bottle of the finest wine that ye got here William! *clinks down some gold coins* And p'haps a plate of whatever ye got cooking.

Pick a wine....any wine.

I'll work on the brisket and omelets.

Merry, I, er... well, now me face matches me hair...

*wipes brow, drinks ice water*

Aye, William, a red-head appreciation party sounds fine indeed! We should come up with food and drink that somehow go along with that theme...

Lobster, to celebrate what we look like after a day at the beach.

Red Wine.

Bacon.

Red meat, raw off the bone.

Cranberries.

hmmm...that's all good for a start.

There you go. And...if you aren't contrary to the idea, I shall sit here and play the mandolin quietly while you eat and read.

Thank you kindly, one and all. Aye. Tis a fine reward indeed to be complimented by so many fine ladies.

I think I'll hold a redhead appreciation party on the Tsunami Kate sometime soon.

I shall also remain in me breeches for the time being.

Wow, ye both look hot! Handsome looking gents ye be. :)

I am hot...must be the jacket. Here, I'll take it off.

(takes off jacket)

Nope. Still hot.

(takes off shirt)

Hmmm...that didn't do it either...

The voices in my head.

Dude you could be my long lost brother!

Dude...you are my long lost brother.

Brother!!!

(hugs Joshua Red)

Further proof of me...

...I'm the redhead.
