[When the feed initializes, the sky pirate is reclined against a small desk and is holding a small scepter, aquamarine in color, and though worn, still shining.]

There was still something to be found in those ruins. Fancy that.

[He moves, the scepter sliding into a hip pouch before he faces the video communicator more fully.]

A successful treasure hunt is food for the soul, you know. Hmm, we should do this more often. Surely there are more ruins to be found beyond one of these archways, and if we find them before someone prints it in the papers, everything we find there is rightfully ours.

[He smiles.]

I tire of repairing someone else's hovers, at any rate. Any juicy gossip? Rumors?

I didn't know the ruins actually had treasure in them. Hmm, might have to check them out for some extra cash.

Thanks for the heads up, heh.

[ video ]

[askypirate]

Good luck. I think vultures have picked those bones nearly clean, I fear. Still, good hunting.

[ video ]

[donttouchme]

Shit, seriously? What are they wanting to make us all into honest and hardworking people here?

[ video ]

[askypirate]

Well, you do know what they say about early birds, you know. Better luck next time, eh?

[Of course, it's equally possible the sky pirate is trying to keep the loot to himself...]

[ video ]

[donttouchme]

But you know what they say, right? Sharing is caring.

[celestial_wizard]

Oh, did you investigate the ruins too? [ She lived for those kinds of adventures. ]

I didn't find anything too spectacular myself. That scepter looks like it was a lucky find~!

[ Video ]

[askypirate]

It seemed like a break from tedium, so yes. [He shrugs.]

I've seen far greater treasures, but it may yet fetch a good price, if I decide to part with it. It is my first Genessian acquisition, after all. I may keep it, as a souvenir.

[celestial_wizard]

Ahh, I know that feeling well. Not being able to go out on adventures is kind of irritating isn't it? Still! There's still a lot here for exploring. Finding things to sell around here isn't too terribly difficult, I think, if you decide to hang onto the scepter.

Are you a treasure hunter, where you're from?

[ Video ]

[askypirate]

Yes, something like that. [He looks off for a moment.] A sky pirate, actually, though here, I find myself without a sky.

[son_of_durotan]

I would advise against seeking out such places, personally.

[askypirate]

[He tilts his head to the side curiously.]

Ah, but where's the fun in that?

[son_of_durotan]

There's 'fun' and then there's recklessness. In my experience, ruins are often ruined for a very particular reason. Even if whatever happened to render it a ruin in the first place has passed, other dangers may have moved in, to say nothing of the structural stability.

There's a reason I only allow the most seasoned of adventurers to explore the myriad ruins of Azeroth.

[askypirate]

Yes, and when they're ruined in a hurry, they tend to leave all their valuables behind. Nothing ventured, my good man.

[Though that last does get his attention.]

Allow, you say? You're some sort of leader in this Azeroth then, I wager?

[livable]

Kind of gaudy for a living room mantelpiece. What are you going to do with it?

[ She has no idea what he's intended on doing with that. ]

I have a normally normal-ish question for you.

video;

[askypirate]

True, but a fine beginning to a treasure room.

[He may just be keeping it.]

Normally normal? Is it not now, then?

video;

[livable]

They make entire TV shows about hoarders nowadays.

[ Liv isn't sure how to answer that question without it being potentially alarming or maybe revealing something that shouldn't be discussed in public. In fact, she has no idea if it's anything at all yet. ]

I'm not sure yet. How old are you?

[askypirate]

[He raises an eyebrow.] If I knew what a "TV show" was, I may be a bit more concerned.

[But he narrows his eyes. This conversation was suddenly a lot more worrisome than he'd like it to be.]

Twenty-two. Why?

[namemeansbeauty]

I'm not one for rumours, so I have nothing there, but I did enjoy exploring that ruin and hope maybe there are others places to explore. Because maybe it will help us understand the history of this place.

video;

[askypirate]

Ah, yes. The history. Most certainly important.

[I'm more like to put a dollar amount on all the relics we may find in such places, if it's all the same to you.]

And what have you found?

video;

[namemeansbeauty]

In the ruins? Sadly not much, but I did find a rusty dagger.

[She kept it just to see if there could be something about it somewhere.]

video;

[askypirate]

A rusty dagger. That's quite a find. [That may have been sarcastic...or it may just have been his usual, crass tone of voice.] What do you intend to do with it?

[respect_points]

Oh, reminds me of the good old days of sphere hunting.

[askypirate]

Oh? From the look of things, it needn't be the "good old days".

[respect_points]

Of course. I plan on doing something like it here if possible.

[askypirate]

Well, I wish you the best of luck.
