Mauve toys idly with one of her pigtails, swaying to and fro, headless of the fact that her perch is more than two stories high. Your eloquent appeal to her better nature is met with a loud raspberry.
"You spoilsports make it all sound like this is all my fault! Here I was two days ago a humble indentured servant, working off my debt to society, and then everyone starts making for the docks screaming and hollering about how the jumpers are gonna get us. Now seems to me like that's a severe break in social order. Me and the boys here might be contracted into service, but that don't mean we lost our rights! Why should we stay and get poked full of arrows while the fat rich folk pack themselves onto ships safe and sound."
The mad maven flips her position, hooking her legs onto the roof's overhang, and swinging upside down. Mauve reaches into her tattered unmentionables and retrieves a crumbled and stained piece of paper. Oh gods, was that blood!?
"See, the boss man wasn't willing to make our freedom official-like even though he was leaving us to die. Took a bit persuasion and some burnt properly, but I managed to negotiate a fair and proper release from our bondage. Right civil, wasn't I boys?"
