[rather obnoxious voice]

WE'RE DEVILS WE'RE BLACK SHEEP WE'RE REALLY BAD---

Bugger...

Wait, wait it's...Murphy, how does it go, lad?

[There is the whinny of a very small pony in the background.]

RIGHT! REALLY BAD EGGS! DRINK UP ME HEARTIES YO HO!

I love this song! Avoid the bridges, ducks! Ducks and chickens! Ha! Hahahahahaha

[You know who never talks like a pirate? Except that actually he always does. This guy. He's also stalking prowling patrolling on rounds when he comes across a masked figure.]

Little early for Halloween don't you think?

[Why is this disguise working? Quick! Steal his cigars.]

[lists_to_port]

[Why the devil is my disguise working?!

Jack makes an effort to disguise his voice, at least.]

Oh? Yes, my good sir! I am but a humble New Feather, what is very adoring of this here bridge.

[justicereigns]

[Who knows... he'll probably figure it out eventually.]

Oh, really? You need help or something? [Glances at the bridge. Isn't that one where people get their hats stolen?]

[lists_to_port]

[Or their cigars? Jack will try to maneuver as close as possible to Smoker in order to swipe two or three. Will he manage it?]

Aye. I fear I am lost, sir! I need to find this "welcome center" I hear tell about.

[justicereigns]

[Yup. So long as it's off the jacket or from the jacket pockets, no problem.]

Oh yeah, sure, no problem. It's down this corner and to the -- [Pauses, remembering the problems Ryoga had even when Smoker tried.] Maybe I should just show you.

[lists_to_port]

[Three. Three cigars before that pause. Jack looks very much like an eager beaver New Feather in a mask and odd hat and cape.]

Could my pony come too, sir? He's housebroken, of course.

[justicereigns]

Uh... yeah sure. They brought your pony here with you? Or is that one from here?

[Starts leading onwards.]

[lists_to_port]

This is one from HERE, actually. I've just met him! He seems a very nice chap.

[Murphy DOES seem keen about getting to see the Welcome Center! He trots very cheerfully along with them as they make their way down the path.]

You been here long, mate?

[justicereigns]

Does he talk too?

Yeah... over a year. How about you, since it's obviously not your first day. [Given the clothes...]

[lists_to_port]

Erm....he only speaks horse. And a little bit of donkey, on the side. It's a dialect, from what I understand. I've only been here for perhaps a few hours? Difficult to say. Time seems to move differently here.

[This is so strange---having a civil conversation with Smoker. It's a first, definitely.]

[justicereigns]

You speak horse?

Wait. Those clothes were with you when you woke up?

[Enjoy it while it lasts.] Is that your usual clothes at home or something?

[lists_to_port]

I found them nearby, on the ground. And aye---back home, I am a dashing sort of fellow who....helps....innocent........children. Helps poor lost innocent children find their parents and get safe home again.

[justicereigns]

What... really? Doesn't the mask scare them? [Then again... Smoker's face scares kids so maybe it would be better with a mask for him.]

[lists_to_port]

Secret identity! Like the Batman.

[Yes---the Batman card! He can go with that.]

[justicereigns]

Pardon? [He never met the guy. Although he has heard of the symbol~] You mean like the Justice League?

[lists_to_port]

EXACTLY! Justice! I'm ever so interested in justice and in making sure the little lads and lasses come to no harm. Heroical, me.

[And Jack hates Batman with a keen-burning hatred. Still, he's not above making use of him, of course.]
