[LancerZero]

Linus likes to say strange things just to keep people on their toes, or intentionally take things the wrong way for the sake of making a joke.:PThen again, he's a Zoner, with naught to do but drift amongst the stars, selling cargo for a few credits. So he makes wisecracks or asks people if they've eaten any pie lately, etc.:P

Most of my other characters don't talk much over system comms.

If I get a phone call, instead of going "//brb phone" I'll say something like "Got an audio comm, hold on."

If I have to log out earlier than anticipated, I'll give some kind of reason. The other day, when I had to log off as Arkady I told Gamma it was "Socialist suppertime.":P

The server shutting off for auto-maintenance or lagging itself into oblivion I tend to refer to as solar storms, ion storms, interference, stuff like that.

Sometimes my OSC char will ask lawfuls about pirate activity, even though I've already scanned the systems nearby to see who's around. And sometimes, even though nobody else is in the system, he'll go "And off to port, ladies and gentlemen, you'll see <something>." I've been tempted a couple of times for him to say (when there's a known pirate insystem) "Gee, folks, I sure do hope a mean 'ole pirate doesn't catch us! We're sitting ducks here by the jump gate, yesiree!" Well, the first part anyway.

Like a thrill ride for the passengers.:PHe likes to take them to dangerous and exotic places on the way to Augsberg anyhow, once even going all the way out to Gamma, Kappa, and Unknown, making the long loop through Kusari space back to Augsberg.

And when I go afk while docked, if I come back and see that somebody's been trying to get in touch with me I'll say something like "Sorry, was out of the cockpit" or "Had to visit the cafeteria. They have some really good sandwiches here!" or "Had to visit the little space pilot's room on Freeport 2", etc.

Martin teases Corsairs about tea and biscuits, and that Bretonian prison food is better than what the Elders eat on Crete. (he might be right, too! XD) And when blown up, often as not: "Well, that was rather rude."

Silvy doesn't say much over system comms, but is generally cheerier than one might expect a Gaian to be. "Hello there! Lovely day, isn't it? Care to donate to the cause?" The donation being encouraged by liberal application of disruptors, of course.;)
