So there's all sorts of people here, right? Got all kinds of crazy powers and stuff?

[Rufio is sitting in the center of town on the edge of the fountain, munching on an apple he's just nabbed out of the grocers. (The whole imaginary food thing wasn't working out for him so well out of Neverland.) He wishes the store was manned, in a way. There isn't much of a thrill pilfering food this way.]

Which ones of you don't age?

[Because he's realizing that in this place that list isn't going to include him.]

[lostpunk]

What's a mudlark, pussbag?

[all7seas]

A scurvy garbage-picker, ignoramus!

[lostpunk]

Well you're maggot droppings.

[all7seas]

You're the stuff moldering UNDER the maggot droppings!

[lostpunk]

You're the crust on the butthole of a hippo.

[all7seas]

And you, sir, are the maggots in that very butthole!

[lostpunk]

Yeah, well... you're the vomit left by the vulture who ate the corpse with that butthole!

[all7seas]

And you, son, are the poor lost boy who was unfortunately looking up just when that vulture vomited.

[lostpunk]

[Rufio can't help it. That gets a good bit of laughter out of him.]

Well played.

[all7seas]

Obliged! I used to be very good at that game back in Shipwreck Cove, growin' up.

Weren't too many other little scallywags to play it with, 'course.

[lostpunk]

...You know, I think I've always just kinda imagined pirates as sprouting up out of the ground just as they are. It's not like I've ever seen anyone grow up into one.

[all7seas]

Didn't grow into one. Was molded. Difference. Me dad? Pirate lord! And Code-Keeper. And that's sayin' somethin' in pirate-parlance.

[lostpunk]

...Think I have a hard time imagining pirates as dads, too.

[all7seas]

I think pirates do, too. At times. That's not to say they CANNOT---

Maybe shouldn't. Dunno.

[lostpunk]

Never saw a pirate kid. [Peter's son didn't really count.]

Neverland is probably just different that way.

[all7seas]

Many pirates simply do not OWN their children, really.
