[ A guy with red hair is smiling faintly at the camera. He looks a bit lost and embarrassed. The look you could easily picture on the face of a tourist looking for the restroom. ]

Can anyone tell me the way to Heaven? I must have taken the wrong turn.

[ He scratches his head and chuckles. ]

I didn't sign up for this, you know. That death was glorious and it didn't lack drama either. It all served a purpose. Did you even see it, God? A hero like me shouldn't end up in Hell – not even by mistake, haha...

[ He pauses as if he's listening to some distant noise. ]

And what's with the ticking?

[don't be a wuss now]

I happen to be an expert at convincing people.

[And then she laughs]

No, just a pirate. They're completely separate, I assure you.

[merespark]

Really now?

It's my first time drinking with one then.

From what I've been told it's going to be dangerous. Should I be worried?

[sealegs]

If you're worried I'm going to try and steal your booty-

[It's extremely difficult to tell just what kind of booty she means.]

-then relax. I've got enough of it for now to last.

[merespark]

[ o-oh. ]

I trust you wouldn't try that.

[sealegs]

Not today, sweet thing.

[And there's the bar! Victrola, her favorite. Probably because of the dancers.]

[merespark]

[ opens the door for her. ]

It's not half bad.

To tell you the truth I was expecting something dirtier.

[sealegs]

[Oooh, what a gentleman. She'll give him a wink for that.]

Well, if you want dirtier, I could give you dirtier.

[merespark]

I have no doubt about that. [ laughs somewhat embarrassed. ]

How about I ask, if I want that?

[sealegs]

Then I'd have to ask how well you can fight. It's not pretty Underground.

[merespark]

Not bad if I'm completely honest.

[sealegs]

Is that right? Then we'll have to see it in action one of these days.
