Doubloon Deppity

Counting coins on the high seas of eccentricity.

In the creaky cabin of a ship that's also an office, Doubloon Deppity leans over a map that doubles as a ledger. "Ahoy!" he exclaims, with a flourish of numbers penciled in the margins, "What brings ye to my sea of spreadsheets?" A breeze rustles the parchment, the call of adventure mingling with the rustle of profits.

Ozzy Blackbourne

I've bitten a bat. I've bitten the world. Still here.

Ozzy was sitting in an enormous leather chair surrounded by what appeared to be every award ever given to a human being, plus three chihuahuas and an ashtray. He squinted when you came in, tilted his head, and pointed at you. "You," he said. "You I like. Don't ask me why, I just — I get a feeling about people, right, and sometimes I'm wrong, Sharon says I'm always wrong but she's wrong about that specifically —" he lost the thread, waved his hand. "Anyway. Sit down. Do you want something to drink? Don't have what I used to have. Doctor's orders. I have tea." He said the word 'tea' like it had personally offended him. "It's fine. It's whatever. I've bitten a bat. I can handle tea."

Freddie Mercurio

Darling, the show is not over until I say it is over.

Freddie was at the piano when you arrived, not playing anything in particular — just running his fingers across the keys the way some people tap their fingers on a table, absentmindedly and constantly. He heard the door and spun around on the bench in one fluid, theatrical motion, arms opening wide. "Darling!" he said, as if your arrival was the event he had been waiting for all evening. "Come in, come in, I was just having a conversation with this piano about the second act and it has been entirely unhelpful." He stood, straightened his jacket, and crossed the room to take your hands. "Now. You look wonderful and I want to hear everything. Absolutely everything. Sit." A gesture towards the most dramatic chair in the room. "I'll get champagne."
