Ahem!

Oh, shiny! Simon never lets me have any fun. And I think ... that this could be fun. Oh, yes. Lots of fun. *reaches for an apple*

[rumandsparrows]

Fun, dear girl, is an important part to life. *grins and bows exaggeratedly* Have fun. That's the point of this, see? *takes a deep swig of rum*

[naughtbutcoal]

I think you're right, Captain. *glances around quickly for Jayne, as he's the only one who could possibly tattle on her and then grabs a glass of some concoction that would simply probably be alcoholic anywhere else - but here? It's almost certainly highly alcoholic. Yep. River's going to get smashed. Oh, this is going to be interesting. In the ancient, Chinese curse, sense of the word.*

You're brilliant, Captain, you know that?

[rumandsparrows]

*is totally just letting River get drunk because he's Jack and...well...that should explain it, really*

*laughs and bows again* And the best of it is I don't even try. *raises his bottle* A toast, I say! To fun!

[naughtbutcoal]

*giggles* To fun! *drinks it all down but good. Crazy child. And then she reaches for ... oh, no. River, River, sweetie, don't touch that. Yep, she's gone for the rum. I have no idea why she decided to do this. Scientific experiment? Yeah, probably. Just ... watch she doesn't try and kill you. Or not try. She might do it on accident, she gets drunk enough.* So, do you know the myth of Earth-That-Was?

[rumandsparrows]

*blinks* No? No. I don't believe I do. *drinks some more*

[naughtbutcoal]

*drinks a bit* Y'know *giggles* it's ... what's that word. *giggles* Oh, yeah. Funny. *giggles* I think I ... *takes a hyooge drink* forgot it. *giggles* But it was a fun *drink* myth. I remember that!

[rumandsparrows]

*laughs and drinks again* Well, most myths are fun. Least as far as I find. Until, of course, you find that they weren't really myths at all but truths instead and you're all caught up in them. *looks thoughtful and drinks again* Then again. That can be fun, too. Good bit of adventure. *and again*

[naughtbutcoal]

*curious facial expression.* *drinks* You got caught up in a myth? *giggles* Does that mean you're a ... whatsit? Prince? *frowns. drinks.* No, that's not the word ...

[rumandsparrows]

Well, a myth of sorts. *thinks and drinks, for he does the former best when he does the latter* A curse is a myth until proven otherwise and, 'less you get wrapped up in the truth of the matter, it remains a myth in your mind. I, my dear...River? River. I, my dear River, was caught up in the truth of a myth of a cursedly mythical tale of what's true. *nods and drinks again* But that still only makes me a pirate captain.
