[RP log] Lucas & Jeremy: Winter preparation talk

Oct 16, 2006 03:50

I'm pretty sure there's a factory of Herveys down south in the Island Nations... >___> WHY ELSE WOULD JEREMY SPEAK AND ACT LIKE HERVEY!?



Jeremy: *crashes through the door of the main bar area on the Dauntless. He'd gone and tripped from running outside. After quickly getting back up and checking that no one had saw his uncool fall, he walked down the stairs.* Hey, Captain! Are you around?

Lucas: *wasn't there, having actually been on the bridge, but did see Jeremy go straight for the saloon's door so.... popping right behind Jeremy* Why'd you crash through the door instead of opening it normally?

Jeremy: *nearly jumps and turns around at hearing Lucas right behind him* Ah-oh..! Uh... *straightens* I was practicing dodging an attack! Yeah!!

Lucas: *silence as he stares right at Jeremy for a good minute*

Jeremy: ........ WHAT?

Lucas: *says quite plainly* You're acting scarily like Hervey.

Jeremy: Huh? Didn't I say that I'm nothing like that guy?! Nothing similar! Seriously!

Lucas: *looks doubtful* Did you listen to yourself lately?

Jeremy: .. Not really, no. Does my voice sound weird? 'Cause then I might be gettin' a cold.

Lucas: *sighs and leans against the railing of the stairs* I meant your speech.

Jeremy: Oh that? I've always talked this way. Er, I can't remember speaking much at all though a long time ago.

Lucas: ... *obviously hasn't hung around Jeremy often and makes a strange face to that* Oh. ...Is that what started your rivalry with Hervey then?

Jeremy: What? No! It's just something else I have to prove! Someday I'll reveal it! ....... Just not today, obviously.

Lucas: *merely shakes his head to that and looks expectantly at Jeremy* So why did you come here today?

Jeremy: I just wanted to check up on you. It's been a while, that's all. *points to the door* What are you guys up to out there, anyway?

Lucas: *doesn't follow that finger* Reinforcing the Dauntless for the winter. Last year was a mess thanks to that frozen lake event and no one in the crew wants to go through that again. *looks over his shoulder now though* It's difficult finding enough lumber at a decent price to do all the repairs and upgrades though.

Jeremy: And you have to do all that work constantly?

Lucas: Well... *weak smile* It's my wallet on the line here.

Jeremy: Aha! Oh, I see your point very clearly. Would it be daring of me to whisk you away from your job for even just a little bit~?

Lucas: *blinks and tilts his head to that while straightening up* Not at all.

Jeremy: Great! *grabs Lucas' hand and drags him in the direction of the the lower floor* I don't think I've been to the baths here in ages and it's a good excuse to get you away from that work.

Lucas: I- *surprised at being dragged away* Isn't it the same as the one in Budehuc?

Jeremy: Oh, well. Yeah, I took Trishtan to that one earlier and it was fine, but I guess I miss the old one. *lolmagically already walked all the way to the door before the bath area*

Lucas: *raises a brow at Jeremy's back* Do you have the habit to take two baths a day?

Jeremy: *looks back* What? This is my first bath for today!

Lucas: *tilts his head, purposefully nitpicking* But you said 'earlier'.

Jeremy: Yeah, earlier! It was, like, a few weeks back. So that is earlier from the moment right now. *drags him through the door when saying this*

Lucas: *still following like a child that's being lead somewhere. There's an amused tone in his voice* That's just plain confusing, Jeremy.

Jeremy: *faint smile and sweatdrops* Oh.. well, it made perfect sense to me. *drops Lucas' hand finally* See you inside, okay? I don't think you need me to lead you into the changing room and everything obviously!

Lucas: Right... *half-smiles and pushes Jeremy toward the changing room* Just go get changed already.

Jeremy: *surprised by the shove and blinks. He almost grins but decides that would seem weird and just does what he's told*

Lucas: Really... *watches Jeremy disappear for a moment before going to do the same*
