Artemis survived Mardi Gras mostly by staying seated the whole evening.

At least on TLaPD, The Powers That Be saw fit to give her actual pants. The blouse is a little lower cut than she'd like, but the pistols tucked in her sash may be the Landlord's idea of compensation.

Now all she needs is some whiskey rum.

Artemis is twirling before she knows quite what she's doing; it certainly beats falling over. It doesn't take more than a moment for her to be laughing, though.

"Why, hello!"

[agloriousthing]

"Hello, you beautiful pirate. May I kiss you?"

[untiedtheknots]

She turns a rather florescent shade of pink.

"On the cheek, good sir, is all I can allow."

[agloriousthing]

He caresses her check with great affection before giving it a glorious kiss and then dipping her,

"Why is that, my dear?"

[untiedtheknots]

Artemis reminds herself that she's outgrown that whole 'turn men into deer and RUN AWAY' phase in her life.

"Because I am a virgin goddess, sir, and I will not be forsworn."

[agloriousthing]

The Pirate King almost drops her and the disappointment across his face is great but he does stand her up again and bow,

"Will you join me for a drink then?"

[untiedtheknots]

She sketches a curtsy.

"How could I refuse such a kind request from such a respectful gentleman?"

[agloriousthing]

"I'm honored, thank you."

[untiedtheknots]

"I would be honored in turn if you'd select our drinks."

[agloriousthing]

"Rum is appropriate for today."

[untiedtheknots]

"Then rum it shall be."

She passes the order on to a waitrat, who scurries off to fill it.

[agloriousthing]

"I am the Pirate King, fair lady."

The music swells in the background.

[untiedtheknots]

The music is very dramatic; Artemis can't help but be impressed.

"Your Highness."

She nods her head deeply. "I myself am Artemis, daughter of Zeus and Leto, sister to Apollo--and very pleased to make your acquaintance.

[agloriousthing]

He bows once more to her,

"I'm honored to meet you, fair Artemis."

[untiedtheknots]

The waitrat returns with their glasses of rum; Artemis lifts hers in a toast.

"To charming new acquaintances."

[agloriousthing]

"And new pirates."

He clinks his glass with hers and grins.

[untiedtheknots]

After downing a mouthful of rum, she asks,

"How long has your illustrious majesty been...your illustrious majesty?"
