[believeslegends]

Well, I think we can all agree that last week? Never happened. We're just not going to talk about it. [Or how much the Captain sucks. Noooot saying that on the network.]

Sokka, not a word. You either, Hiccup.

Right, I think I'm going to find something else to do.

[And for all you comment log people, Jim's just hanging out on deck 12, digging

Comments

[tishtoshcaptain]

[Deck 12. She cringes. Utterly filthy, untidy and all around mind-boggling. Ignoring the sheer size of this vessel, it was one thing that just bugged her.

Oh, but look. A familiar face; finally. Not exactly on the top of her list of who to see, but it's certainly better than all the faceless, information-useless people she's run into so far. A boat. The M.S. Elegante. A mad Captain, one of whom she couldn't meet. But this?]

I didn't know you'd returned to playing Cabin boy, Mister Hawkins.

[believeslegends]

[Jim had poised himself on top of a big pile reaching down for the perfect looking piece of silver when OHGOD CAPTAIN AMELIA

Annd he nearly loses his footing when he turns to look over his shoulder and trips all over himself.]

C-captain-- [and then promptly slides down to sit on the luggage he was just standing on, hair all in his face. What when did she get here, there was no way this can be good. But hi going to ahem himself and straighten out that teenage voice of his.]

Captain. I, uh-- Didn't. When-- When did you get here?

[tishtoshcaptain]

[A single brow arched to the feline's hairline as he slipped and fumbled, stumbled and straightened himself out. At least he was still in the right mind, yes?

She smirks.]

Doesn't matter. So tell me, Hawkins. What are you doing, scurrying about this disgusting mess, hum? Still searching for treasure?

[She's teasing. She knows what happens in the end. How things turn out. How Jim turns out. But he doesn't know that.]

idk who you are but ilu <33 ;_;

[believeslegends]

[That was. Not really the reaction he expected.]

I wish. No, just-- some things I can work with.

But it-- Kind of does matter, when you got here.

you better love me, since it's ely. :B

[tishtoshcaptain]

Work with? They're not keeping you busy around here? What a shameful crew.

[She waltzes around the boy a moment, peering over to what he'd been looking for. Who knows whether he grabbed it or not, but she's still curious.]

No, I suppose it doesn't. Better question; what are you doing here?

THEN YES MUCH LOVE ;A; <3

[believeslegends]

The crew takes care of everything so there's not anything for me to do.

[He stuffs his hands in his pockets and lets her examine. He's secretly hoping he hid the burn scars on his arms before she could catch them. And then a shrug.]

Same as everyone else. We were all brought here by Captain Redd and we're supposed to be heading to a Golden Shore. Until then, just killing time. [Trying not to get burned to death by crazy fire princesses.]

I thought you'd enjoy 8D <3

[tishtoshcaptain]

[He didn't. But she's not asking just yet. Maybe she won't at all; who knows.]

Golden Shore? What in bloody name is that? Some fantasy playground? [She scoffs again, pupils contracting to comfortable slits from their widened, searching state.]

And how long have you been moseying around here, then?

I DO ENJOY MUCHLY <333

[believeslegends]

No one knows. Some people've been on this boat for two years and haven't seen it yet. [He's starting to forget you're his legit captain. You can tell this by how loosely he's starting to speak.]

Uh... About eight months now.

<333

[tishtoshcaptain]

[Her tongue clicks mutely between her teeth as she listens, ears tilted towards the boy as he spoke. She might have piped up about such a thing, but good gosh--]

Eight months? And you're not locked up? What's this world coming to.

[Her scowl darkened slightly as she rounded on him again, claw tipped fingers jerking his jacket properly onto his shoulders, pushing said shoulders back till he stood up straight. A brief thought could have let her wet her hand and slick his hair back-- but she didn't.]

Stop slouching, you look like a slob.

[believeslegends]

[jfakljsdf well it's not like he can really fight the captain tugging him into a proper upright gentlemanly posture but--]

Wha-- Hey! Why would I be locked up? Come on!

[tishtoshcaptain]

[She snorts a laugh, raking fingers through his hair none the less. It's out-of-place-ness just bothered her. But with that done, she stepped back, index finger touched to her chin in thought.]

Because, Mister Hawkins, you're the type who loves getting into mischief, wouldn't you agree?

[believeslegends]

Well-- Maybe, but-- [Yep just keep digging that hole for yourself, boy. He promptly shuts himself up but still staying in posture. Hhhhhhhhh HONESTLY. Nope, not gonna give himself away. Not gonna do it.]

It's not like I asked to be taken from the Legacy and brought here.

[tishtoshcaptain]

No buts about it.

[She nods her head curtly, curling a finger in the 'come hither' sentiment, before turning around and heading for the stairs. Food. She could smell it, and she wanted it.

And Jim was decent company in this ship full of brutes, anyway.]

Come along, then.

[believeslegends]

[Great. He follows along, seemingly falling right back into step with being a cabin boy. Again.]

Where are you going? [Do you even know your way around B(]

[tishtoshcaptain]

[It's a hard funk to get out of. Ignoring the fact of how difficult it is to not do as Amelia tells you, generally. She tromps on, leading the boy to the stairs.]

Food. Some sort of restaurant.

[She can smell it, you silly boy. Especially once they're in the stairwell. It's much easier to smell the waft of delicious edibles, even masked as it was beyond the million other smells.]

[believeslegends]

Oh. [WELP. Better take the lead. and he does, with much gusto. Just sliding around her to get in front and waves for her to follow.]

Come on, Sergei's is nearby.
