intriguing personability

as i watched them walk away i felt an arm being placed over my shoulder in a casual fashion and i noticed the stink of a very powerful cigar. "you know who that is?" he asked me in a raspy voice while pointing his cigar at lucy. "it's lucy," i told him, "who are you?" "capt. ellis greenwray" he said proudly and then tugged my head over and kissed me on the cheek and then just stared and smiled at me for a little while..."hiiii," he said oddly and winked. he let go of me and grabbed a martini off of the conveyor belt of drinks that went around the room on three sides. he told me that "lucy" is actually Queen Lucifur Suchess of drexil (a pharmaceutical state) one of the wealthiest  states on planet, boasting vast drug mines and thousands of acres of fertile soil due to the true river that bisects the entire island (i guess making it two islands). output from drexil accounts for 85% of planet's entire drug economy. capt. greenwray, being extremely enthusiastic about celebrity gossip, was surprised that she was there because she is famously reclusive* ever since some event that happened to her that he was describing in detail and i was not listening to, nodding. captain greenwray was the captain and owner of a merchant/holiday ship called the hill plums 99. he introduced me to his servant, leo. leo had a terrible accent from who-knows-where and a very deep and raspy voice and he spoke into his chest like he was apologetic for wasting everyone's time making him almost impossible to understand. he shook my hand "murt scab" he mumbled. "yes," i replied. i continued shaking his wet hand as i awkwardly looked around for my shaman, teapots, to introduce, but he was now on the other side of the room just casually pulling fish out of a giant aquarium and absently flinging them into a nearby garbage-bin.

*i figured that's why i didn't recognize her. she's wearing a mask in all the pictures i've seen. if she was wearing a mask here, i would've recognized her.
