Now, this is interesting. Very interesting, at that. And with bloody bad timing, I'd say- nasty bugger was getting away with my peanut.

Speaking of which! Though... not entirely... [Jack finishes walking to one end of the street, only to pivot around and start walking back from the direction he came from.]An explanation! It would come in rather

You're in another version of a city called Template, that likes to pull people from other worlds here. There's no real reason, other than someone must be fairly bored.

[alwaystherum]

Ah, so it's a matter of worlds, is it? [Short pause]

So I take it you haven't seen... [Pretends to be thinking on this] Say, a ship nearby, have you?

[sevenxsorrows]

... [Raise of an eyebrow, oh, what the hell]

Uh. What... sort of ship?

[alwaystherum]

A ship with black sails, love- rather hard to miss. She's called the Black Pearl. And! [This is said with an obvious tone of pride.] She's the fastest ship to ever sail the Caribbean.

[ ... Holy crap, are you serious?]

[sevenxsorrows]

[And, sadly, Mary is rather blunt about this]

There's a fair chance that didn't come with you.

[alwaystherum]

[Very serious!] Fair is fair, love, but in that, we mustn't forget that there's also a fair chance that it did- though not in the general vicinity, as it would seem.

[sevenxsorrows]

[Mary is always serious :|]

If it has, I can't say I've seen it.

[alwaystherum]

What you mean if that you have yet to see it. I've a mind to look for it, if you would be so kind as to lend your assistance.

[sevenxsorrows]

Right.

What's in it for me?

[alwaystherum]

Ever sailed on a ship, darling?

[sevenxsorrows]

...

...

... Why does it even matter? No.

[alwaystherum]

Ah, then it's a question of whether or not you'd like to sail a ship, then.

[sevenxsorrows]

But what if it's not here?

[alwaystherum]

Then! [Pointed gesture] I suppose we'll have to find a means of improvisation.

[sevenxsorrows]

...

[Glances over to where he's pointing and back to him. Oh, now she looks a little confused]

What do you mean?
