Feisty Swan...

[seaswann]

While I appreciate not being forgotten, there is only one place I wish to be. Take me there before I become angry.

(Who taught her how to use a pistol? This isn't fair.)

Comments

[justguidelines]

Well, you can try that. But speaking from personal experience, it won't work and you're out a shot.

[seaswann]

And why should I believe a word a pirate says? I know for a fact that pirates lie far more than Muns. (She's trying to sound in control and grasping at straws. He still frightens her - and for good reason.)

[justguidelines]

[Hey, he's mostly harmless. Mostly.

But bless her, she's so young. It's precious.]

I never actually lie. It's simply not me responsibility to review your end of negotiations for errors and loopholes.

[But seriously.] But really, what ye have to ask yourself is if they every actually listen, or go on and bumrush you where they want you. I think we both know the answer to that one.

[seaswann]

(Closeted teenagers. What can anyone do with them?)

Are you suggesting I simply give up? That I resign myself to never seeing my father or - (Will.) again? If I am going to be forced into something, I at least want to have some say in it.

[justguidelines]

[Throw them overboard, preferably.]

Never said that. Only that...P'raps you're not looking at it from the right angle.

[They make your lives miserable, you make theirs miserable. Easy.]

[seaswann]

(Nah, she'll find a way back on-board.)

Then tell me which angle I should be looking at it from.

(Misery. She has had enough of that already.)

[justguidelines]

[Unfortunately.]

Well, you seem to be under the impression that you're given a choice in being forced.

[bootycalling]

You do know that attempting to reason or threaten them will get you nowhere.

It may in fact only push them to actually inflict a game on you or worse.

[seaswann]

... (This is a first.) I am not experienced in these games.

[bootycalling]

Mine is currently planning on sending me to one with Captain Barbossa.

You may have a better experience but if she begins referencing memes and shipping, you're doomed.

[seaswann]

I wish you the best of luck, then. I have - we have - spent far too much time in his company already.

I have participated in memes before. They were...awkward. (To say the least.)

[bootycalling]

I will say this, when he no longer carries the curse, he is much more tolerable to be around.

He proved to be a strong ally when we had need of him.

[seaswann]

I never wished to find out his true nature when he wasn't...inclined to losing his skin in the moonlight.

HIJACK

[justguidelines]

What.

Re: HIJACK

[bootycalling]

Apparently memes are no longer enough for my mundane, so apparently we will be seeing each other soon, Captain Barbossa.

She also keeps going on about someone who resembles Will?

[justguidelines]

I'll make sure to alert the populace, Miss Swann.

Well, I know two. She'll have to be a big more specific. Popular face, that Mister Turner.

[bottlearum]

Oi! What'd you go an' say that for, eh?

[ Now you've gone and gotten his mun interested. He'd just gotten out of a game, too! ]

[bootycalling]

Because it's the truth.

[justguidelines]

Run while you still can, mate. There be time.

[bottlearum]

If you've any luck with that, luv, please, lemme know.

[seaswann]

Barbossa seems to think that I don't stand a chance. (As does...her other self? But that's confusing.)

[bottlearum]

As much as it pains me t'agree... [ And trust him. It pains him. ]

...he's right.

These muns, once they got you, they ain't too keen t'let you go.

[seaswann]

If you've been trapped -

(Boy she doesn't stand much of a chance.)

What have you seen, Jack?

[bottlearum]

Space, luv.

I've been sent t'a ship called Tranquility...

[ He waves his hands in front of him, like an 'X'. ]

...complete misnomer, twas not tranquil at all. Now, [ He raises his index finger. ] this ship, it sails through the stars instead'a water to an unknown location.

I've been brainwashed, I've seen places of nightmares, I've battled Hellish beasts, I've almost died of plague.

I would not recommend it.

[seaswann]

Space? What sort of ship can take you into space?

(That's...amazing. And terrifying.)

Are you certain this little journey didn't involve rum? (Yet...) It sounds like it wasn't that far off from the life of a pirate.
