[Now that Jack has his body back, the first thing he did was grab a bottle of rum and head over to the attic to lounge on the roof to gaze at the stars. He missed the battle between Zarbon and Piccolo. He really wanted to see it but he was busy taking care of his personal needs to really care too much. He'll catch it some other time

Lucy! Care to join me on the roof? It's a clear night.
[He pulls himself up to a sitting position and remembers that the stars made Lucy sad for some reason and changes his mind.]
Forgo that idea. Are you in your room?
Reply
Yes, I'm in my room. Thought I'd curl up with book, I'm a bit at a loss for what to do with myself.

[He would rather be on the water than looking up at the stars anyway so, grabbing his blackberry, he slides back into the manor through the window and begins his trek to Lucy's room.]
Mind if I join you in the curling?

I couldn't think of anyone who'd make a better curling up partner, darling.

On my way now. I find it relaxing this week considering the chaos of last. Maybe her mercy is beginning to show.

But for the moment we should definitely enjoy the peace.

[He's not far from Lucy's room but he manages to keep his cool as he swaggers along.]
Saying that her next event is following the same cycle as before, we could be in for some very strange events over the horizon. Still, I like the peace.

Hello darling. I'm so glad you've come to keep me company. Peaceful is all very nice but, if I'm honest, I'm going out of my wits with boredome.

[He slips his arms around Lucy and closes the door behind them.]

[she leans in close to him as he slips his arm around her, comforted by the warmth of his body and his now familiar touch and smell.]
Perhaps you could tell me some more of your wonderful stories.

You want to know more about Captain Jack Sparrow. I have plenty of them. Have you ever heard of a place called Mermaid Island?
[With a smooth motion, he moves from the embrace to a chair and takes a seat, happy to regale her with a tale.]

This tale begins with the Black Pearl sailing along to find the Fountain of Youth. The waters were pristine and clear as they usually are in the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean. My crew went without me during the first leg of the journey considering that my mutinous first mate had taken off with my ship another time from Tortuga.
As you know, Tortuga was a free port in Haiti which is pretty well know for pirates and the piratical ways. Being that I know my ship better than any other, I knew exactly where to find it. And I did. Upon reaching my destination, I discovered a tiny island just off shore of the Florida Keys where it was said that mermaids dwell.
Of course these mermaids were the kind that would drag a man to his death as they devour his soul, rendering his body helpless. Now I wasn't about to fall for such things. My heart belonged to my ship and there was no dragging that away.
