Former, current, or, in fact, future members of the Tenth Foot, this is your corporal speaking.

[Yes, even if you are from the future or the past, she is still your corporal.]

[A significant pause. Then:]

Stand up straight. You're embarrassing me.

[That will be all u_u]

Don't flatter them, Your Grace, they might hear you.

[slightlyknurd]

Enough with the Your Graces. I didn't phone in half across the bloody Disc to be called Your Grace by a woman in uniform. You're Corporal, I'm Commander. Got that?

It wasn't flattering. It was....observing with malice.

[deshabille]

More than half across the bloody Disc, actually, Commander.

Oh, well, it was very skillful. Feel free to go on, I'm learning a lot.

[slightlyknurd]

Don't try to confuse me with your jography. If anything's more than half the bloody Disc away, then I don't want to know about it. Problems on the Disc I can manage. Anything else is a wizard's job.

Yes, I suspect you are. Which one's your home country again? Borogravia, or the other one? The damned things always get mixed in my head.

[deshabille]

[With such mildness.] It's not my jography, sir. I think it's just general jography. And it was Borogravia. You've committed some kind of cardinal sin mixing them up, but I'll save my vengeance for another never.

[slightlyknurd]

You do that. Now what's this I hear about some great tonking ship in the middle of the sky what goes around kidnapping people? That's war crimes.

[deshabille]

We're roughly sure it's some sort of god doing the actual kidnapping.

[Roughly-sort-of-ish-with-no-way-to-confirm.]

[slightlyknurd]

Mmn. Makes it more difficult.

What've you done to try and stop it?

[deshabille]

Resistance is in the preliminary stages thus far, sir.

[By which she means she has literally no idea how to find the Admiral and punch him in the face. How do :(]

[slightlyknurd]

That's fine. So long as you don't go do anything stupid.

...And if you go do something stupid, at least follow it all the way through to its logical stupid conclusion.
