[Well.  She's had better ideas.  Though she can't quite remember having this one.  Oh well.

There's the odd sound of someone ...poking the journal, and flipping the pages back and forth.  And then shaking it.]

Huh.  ...ow.

[And then a voice full of curiosity.]

Is anyone actually there?

((ooc: anyone's welcome to talk to her, though she'll be

Who's asking? [Jack sounds...a little suspicious of you?]

Voice

[flicker_flash]

A little girl. [Eyeing that book doubtfully.] Who are you?

Voice

[lists_to_port]

[Jack is more relaxed this time.]

I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, darling.

I just had to make certain, you know. Can't be too careful.

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Well, I'm pretty certain I'm just a little girl. [But that name sounds very impressive.] What sort of captain are you?

voice

[lists_to_port]

Pirate, then, aren't I? Perhaps you would have.....no, you wouldn't have heard of me. [Much regret at this.]

And by your account, I am actually here. And you are actually here.

(((OOC: Last tag for now, must be off. ARrrrr!))

[flicker_flash]

You're a pirate? [Awestruck face, she has it.] Oh, my. It's very nice to meet you. Do you have a ship? And a pirate crew? And a cabin boy? What sort of--[Oop, looking a little nervous now.] You don't raid villages or kidnap people, do you?

((OOC: Arrr, no problem |D))

Voice

[lists_to_port]

I DO in fact have a lovely boat, little one, by the name of the Black Pearl. Back home. And yes, there's raiding and kidnapping. Ish.

HERE, however...well, she's in the works.

...

So you're interested in cabin boys, then? [Highly amused by this.]

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Well, I'm too little to be anything else. The Black Pearl is a wonderful name for a pirate ship, though. [And as long as the kidnapping and raiding is happening "back home" then it's okay, right? >.>]

Voice

[lists_to_port]

She were a wonderful ship. IS. Is a wonderful ship, lass. Terrifically equipped for sneaking up on unsuspecting merchant vessels and making 'em surrender without even a shot fired. Afraid of her, they were.

[Kidnapping would probably be happening if there were any remunerative purpose to it in Luceti, which there is not.]

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Wow.

Did you say you were building another one?

Voice

[lists_to_port]

Aye...I've had a few setbacks, but she'll be finished eventually. Ever been on a boat?

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Never. [Wistful Katie is wistful.] But I've always wanted to. I think being a pirate would be awfully good fun.

Voice

[lists_to_port]

[Well, THAT revelation pushes his buttons for certain.]

I've already got a cabin girl, lass. 'Course, she's fresh out of the womb, like. Perhaps you'd like to serve with that title as well, give her a bit of a hand. What say you?

[Yeah, he's pretty much teasing you about all this. Jack Sparrow's cabin boys have about as much luck surviving as Spinal Tap drummers.]

Voice

[flicker_flash]

[But small girls stuck in dark tunnels in a lot of confusion are notoriously easy to bait and tease. Taking you entirely at face value, Captain Sparrow.]

Really? I could do that. I'm sure I'd make a very good cabin girl ...teacher. [Ponders this a moment, then adds:] How old is she, then?

Voice

[lists_to_port]

Kirimi? Dunno. Under four, certainly. [Small children are foreign subjects to Jack. Like dark matter, nanotechnology, and regular bathing.]

Captain. Captain, not teacher.

Voice

[flicker_flash]

Yes, Captain. [She's saluting, but it's possibly quite hard to see in the dark.] Do you have other crew, then?
