considering high_seas; arguing with a 13yo is hard

[thebitterrabbit]

Do you honestly think throwing me onto a ship in the open seas is the best idea? For piracy, no less? I've heard better half-formed thoughts from Lau when he's pretending to know what he's talking about. And he's an idiot.

I am not about to go gallivanting on the ocean searching for some legendary treasure. I have better things to do. I don't care who's there. I'm not going!

. . . And no, I don't care how cool I would look.

Instead of playing pirates, my servants should come back to the manor at once.

[Grell can't help but snicker at the thought of the Watchdog as a pirate.]

You,more than likely, would not make a very good one.

[thebitterrabbit]

[ugh it's you. and despite that being his exact line of reasoning, it ticks him off when Grell says it. oh, Ciel]

There is more to theft and murder than pure brawn. I'm sure I could manage. Either way, I wouldn't want to be something as ridiculous as a pirate, so the point is moot.

Now I want a sugary cereal with a prize in a box!

[redcinemareel]

[Grell just loves being right. She basks in it.]

Oh, so now it's ridiculous? Already quitting, and you haven't even tried! It's actually rather difficult to be one.

Even better if the prize is a big chunk of gold. Or a monkey's paw. I love me some monkey's paws.

[thebitterrabbit]

You've managed it, so I can't imagine it being very difficult.

that would be some special cereal with ACTUAL VITAMINS

[redcinemareel]

I think I've only hit my stride after about three or four months after arriving.

no one would be healthier. we have to patent this STAT

[thebitterrabbit]

Really. And how long did it take Sebastian to hit his "stride?"

I got dibs on names!!

[redcinemareel]

He's not on my crew, so I'm not certain.

fine, fine. I'll take care of the terrible prizes. Teamwork!

[thebitterrabbit]

No, I wouldn't expect he would be. [because you're terrible OO BURN]

/o/ yay!

[redcinemareel]

[NO YOU!!]

More than likely due to his obligation to your betrothed.

[ballsoffire]

Probably isn't safe for you to be there anyway.

[thebitterrabbit]

[seems kind of dryly amused at that]

Safe? No. Definitely not. Though I'd fear for my sanity before my health.

[ballsoffire]

I'd be more worried about getting stabbed by pirates, personally. Or drowning.

[thebitterrabbit]

My butler is there, so neither would be a problem. The real issue would be the atrocious living conditions.

[do you KNOW how dirty pirates are? they probably don't even get afternoon tea. he has standards!! (and health concerns)]

[ballsoffire]

Yeah and dying of scurvy and infections would really suck.

[thebitterrabbit]

Exactly. It really isn't worth it.

[ballsoffire]

You don't get to back out though, do you?

[thebitterrabbit]

No. To my understanding, you must collect a shard of a legendary gem in order to return home. It's a scavenger hunt with freedom and death as its prizes.

[mephistophilus]

There is a ship waiting for you, Young Master.

ohoho, why hello~

[thebitterrabbit]

[that doesn't surprise him at all. Sebastian acquiring a ship in such a place is to be expected]

And I suppose you would be its captain in my stead?

bwhaha

[mephistophilus]

It was yourself that Captained it once upon a time. It is named the Queen's Gambit and, no, I'm afraid I am not the Captain.

Lady Elizabeth is on board, however.

[thebitterrabbit]

[sighs]

I heard as much. I was hoping my mundane was lying. I trust you have been looking after her?

[good name for a ship, though. he approves of his past self's taste]

[mephistophilus]

Unfortunately not. The Captain is pleasant enough. I have not had qualms with her.

{Because if he did, it's a long way to the shore for a fairy.}

She is in good shape.

[thebitterrabbit]

Good.

[wait, hold the 19th century phone]

The captain is a woman. Did I know her while I was there before?

[mephistophilus]

I assume so. She spoke highly of you. {He's good, but he couldn't go back in the past and verify that.} I am surrounded by females, it seems.

[thebitterrabbit]

Ugh, an entire ship of girls?

[HE WOULDN'T SURVIVE]
