Day 51 | late morning | Phone Call to All

[nocorsetsplease]

[Elizabeth had only used the device once, and so despite how important she felt this call, her nervousness would be apparent.]

Ah-- hello there. Residents. You see... my name is Elizabeth Swann.

It has been gathered, and confirmed that there are, indeed, some sort of...things about the town. I don't know what to call them but I surely know

Comments

Are those the pirate-looking ships? I wanna go! Thank you, Elizabeth!

[nocorsetsplease]

Y-yes. The pirate looking vessels, indeed. Though... most pirate ships look not very different at all from the merchant and naval vessels of the various countries they took them from.

[Talk about pirates making her nervous? Slightly. Navy men on shore... cannot know what she is.]

You're most welcome. May I ask your name?

[moralperil]

Oh, is that so? I don't really know that much about stuff like that. Just movies and theme parks. I've never been on a boat so it's kind of a romantic notion, sailing away... but I guess in reality that kind of thing is pretty complicated.

My name's Mahdi. Sorry I didn't introduce myself before!

[nocorsetsplease]

No worries, I knew I was... what's the term? "Calling" everyone. I am glad that now I can assign a name to this voice of yours. It will be far better when I can meet you in person.

Parks you say? What would a ship be doing in a park? Odd sounding...

I must agree with you though, Mister Mahdi. Being on the sea will always hold its romanticism, a call that, for me, cannot be ignored.

[moralperil]

Uh, well, you see, amusement parks are kinda like - um - well, it's not really important! I'll tell you about them some other time.

You can call me Mahdi, though, I'm a hundred years too young to be called something like 'mister'. How many people are coming on the boat? I'll make sandwiches.

[nocorsetsplease]

Ah, my propriety dictates that I call everyone by proper titles, but if you so wish... I will do my best to remember.

I cannot say how many, though I hope for quite a few. That is quite generous of you, Mis-- ah. Mahdi. We have provisions, though they are hardly as delectable.

[moralperil]

Mm - I'll make a few dozen, that should be fine! I'll see you soon! I look forward to us meeting in person.

[nocorsetsplease]

Likewise! I shall look for you upon the horizon of the town.

[moralperil]

Looking forward to meeting you!
