Twenty-one Bells: [ACTION/VOICE]

Sep 11, 2011 17:31

[Archie has barely been around town lately, but he does appear in town this afternoon, dashing about to various shops and stores and picking up various one-use items and lots and lots of groceries. He seems to have one thing on his mind.

Later, he'll sit at the fountain and send out the voice message:]

This is Mr. Kennedy. If anyone is in need of me ( Read more... )

babysitting jack, still okay, action, a case of the sads, voice

If I help build the rest of the ship, will you let me put in a winch for the Shell Bell?

[The plan for Smoker to confiscate the Joanna Joyce didn't really work out, leaving Smart Turtle still sad and shipless.]

...I beg your pardon? [This is vaguely familiar, but so many things have been on his mind since they talked about this.]

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 11 2011, 22:55:44 UTC

[This is the same Mr. Kennedy, isn't it?]

I think we talked about boats and diving bells a few weeks ago. Or was that someone else?

[Voice] noprevaricating September 11 2011, 23:04:16 UTC

...I believe it was I, sir, but can you remind me what a diving bell is?

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 11 2011, 23:32:46 UTC

A simple device that allows a person to dive deeper and longer. It's meant to be launched from a ship. You told me it would have to be a big ship.

I see. [Oh yeah, you're the turtle.] I would have to discuss it with Mr. Hornblower. He would be captain, after all.

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 11 2011, 23:41:59 UTC

[Sigh. Clearly the Universe does not want him to do this.]

Please ask him...

[Voice] noprevaricating September 11 2011, 23:44:22 UTC

...I will. I take it Captain Sparrow was not cooperative.

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 11 2011, 23:50:10 UTC

Not at all.

[Voice] noprevaricating September 11 2011, 23:50:53 UTC

And Mr. Giles?

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 11 2011, 23:58:46 UTC

I haven't talked to him.

[Voice] noprevaricating September 12 2011, 00:12:52 UTC

His boat will be finished much sooner than our ship, sir.

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 12 2011, 00:20:10 UTC

I thought it wasn't big enough?

[Voice] noprevaricating September 12 2011, 00:29:45 UTC

You'll have to see it for himself. I've only talked him through it, but I do not know for certain what size it is.

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 12 2011, 00:48:01 UTC

[He's... not sure how friendly of a conversation that will end up being.]

I'll call him.

[Voice] noprevaricating September 12 2011, 00:49:18 UTC

And I'll ask Mr. Hornblower. What is it, exactly, that you want to put on our ship?
