I-140-Lia: Roseman, The Bounding Bush
Scuttlebutt
Galleygoss?
Galleylalia? (I was inspired by glossolalia)
Rummours? (a portmanteau of rum and rumours – rum is probably the most popular spirit drink in the Dominion and maintains that naval feel – by chance Spanial’s crew are mostly beer drinkers so you wouldn’t know…)
Your contribution?
It’s entirely possible that scuttlebutt remains in the vocabulary of the Dominion, though like many words the etymology is unclear.
Pharmacopia
Both Martell and Lexi mentioned something new coming out of Mundo Zargo. Martell noting that it had just arrived on Zarg’s World and he was seeking a sample to evaluate, but didn’t yet have one, and Lexi said she’d found where it was being grown and nearly got caught by Zayaire’s people while investigating it. Martell also mentioned a drug called Qwicksticks, but wasn’t sure of their source. Lia hasn’t had an opportunity to obtain any of the new, nameless, drug, she was going to ask Martell for some Quiksticks but decided not to after he advised against it. She does have several doses of Pulse salvaged from the wreck of the Cyprinidae as well as her personal Zoner! stash.

“Oh?”
Ah, I think I was under the impression she took the Quiksticks along with the Pulse. I rather like galleygoss, has a nice ring to it.
“Yeah, I overheard something about a new drug on Zarg’s World that was all the rage. People were talking about it and hoping it was going to make it’s way to Zargo.”
She shrugs.
“Just background chatter really. I haven’t seen it. Is it dangerous or just a new party toy?”
