Topping swank this institute is. None of the tall hats and tailcoats of Eton and no Collegers to frag us into their duties or anything. I might even tell father, if I were speaking to him, and I certainly shall not. King Jas had said much the similar when we'd been found of course. I think he'd rather enjoy a school like this- though without that

You're moving in! Great. Having a room to yourself is really overrated. I'm Eric, by the way.

voice;

[beforetheship]

Oh- Eric you said? Topping swank, I'm Jolly R, pleasure it is. Sure I won't be too much of a bother or anything? I know some people prefer their privacy and all.

voice;

[tryfifty]

Well actually I was planning on how to kick you out onto the street but now that you mention it, it's okay.

voice;

[beforetheship]

Well that's a little more like I'm used to.

Where're you from anyway? 'Fore here I mean.

[le_centre]

Wel... oh, hey! Jolly, isn't it? It's Courfeyrac!

[beforetheship]

Courfeyrac? Blimey you're here? How've you been?

[le_centre]

Yes, I work here. I am doing perfectly well- I'm unpacked and over the jet lag and everything! How are you? You just sort of vanished for a few months there.

[beforetheship]

Oh- hah- It's sort of a long story that. I didn't know you were a, you know, mutant. And you work here?

Suppose I should have seen that coming.

[neverwantedit]

...Wow, Jolly? Is that you?

[video]

[beforetheship]

[ The feed clicks on in confusion, hands fumbling over the device with a little too much eagerness and when his gaze lands on the screen it's all disbelief. ]

-You?

[video]

[neverwantedit]

[HUGE GRIN because she totally missed him]

I haven't see you in forever! How's stuff been?

[video]

[beforetheship]

[ He sputters, confusion and tripping over his words before he's able to get it all out. ]

I've been- ah. You know, crazy. I've left school and become a pirate? And I'm also, apparently, a mutant but it looks as if you are as well. Unless you've decided this place just look so interesting you've decided to come here on your own.

[voice, permaccent]

[hexular]

Oh, are you really a pirate? You must meet Captain Dolce!

[pause] -Oh, excuse me. My name is Wanda. Welcome to the Institute.

[voice]

[beforetheship]

Captain Dolce? Can't say I know the name- and yes ma'dam I very much am. A pirate I mean.

Wanda you said? It's a pleasure. Have you been here for some time?

[voice]

[hexular]

Dolce is a pirate - the best of the pirates! She has a hook for a hand and an eye patch.

I have been here for a while, yes. Have you found your room, yet?

[voice]

[beforetheship]

The best of the pirates you say? And she has a hook? Here I'd thought King Jas was a Captain too unique to have an equal, least of all with a hook. How is it that you're acquainted with this lady pirate if I may ask?

Hah, and no I'm afraid. I haven't.

[notbucky]

Pirates?

[beforetheship]

Most certainly!

[notbucky]

You, uh, don't look Somalian.

[beforetheship]

Somalian my good sir? Heavens no, I'm English.
