Twenty-three bells: [WRITTEN/ACTION]

Nov 07, 2011 19:15

This is Mr. Kennedy. The Britannia, Luceti's new sloop of war under command of Captain Hornblower, is finished and for all purposes ready to sail. Unfortunately, as she cannot sail herself, Captain Hornblower is in need of a crew.

Not many are required simply to sail her. A half dozen at least, although we should prefer more. We do not expect ( Read more... )

written, action, give me a tall ship

Any takers?

I shall not. Listen to you! "I'm a terrible first lieutenant, Jack." "Call me Mister Kennedy." Are you or are you not the first mate?

[Voice] noprevaricating November 11 2011, 01:57:01 UTC

I'm...I'm the first mate.

[Voice] lists_to_port November 11 2011, 02:12:29 UTC

Right. And have you or have you not all of the best interests of captain, ship, and crew at heart?

[Voice] noprevaricating November 11 2011, 02:33:10 UTC

Of course I do, but...

[Voice] lists_to_port November 11 2011, 02:41:57 UTC

But?!

[Voice] noprevaricating November 12 2011, 00:01:09 UTC

...But his lieutenant before me was Bush. I don't think I could compare.

[Voice] lists_to_port November 12 2011, 02:46:05 UTC

Then there's no hope for you, I'm afraid.

[Voice] noprevaricating November 12 2011, 02:47:39 UTC

[Way to be encouraging.]

...Why?

[Voice] lists_to_port November 12 2011, 02:53:57 UTC

Comparing yourself to this Bush fellow! What is a bush but a very small, scruffy thing that wants to be a tree! And you, sir! You are a Kennedy. A dynastical sort of name, that. Regal. Leaderly. Fun to shout into the wind. Got "ken" in it, so very knowing. Bollocks to this "Bush" bloke!

[There's a pause, then some very surprised laughter.]

[Voice] lists_to_port November 12 2011, 03:35:39 UTC

[JACK WILL WAIT PATIENTLY FOR IT TO STOP.]

[Voice] noprevaricating November 12 2011, 03:44:02 UTC

...I should clearly confide in you more often.

[Voice] lists_to_port November 12 2011, 03:48:59 UTC

It's all a matter of reputation, Kennedy. [Ignoring the confiding bit for now.] This Bush built his own up, made you a bit intimidated; you, now, have to build yours up so that folk go round whispering, "OI! THERE'S LIEUTENANT KENNEDY! BOONS OF SOLID IRON, HIM."

Might be a bit too late for that. Everyone could see what happened in June.

[Grell?]

And what if Bush had to face a death god? I suppose he'd light himself on fire and fly up and touch the stars and rain down his unholy wrath upon her and then stand atop her corpse, muscles bulging out to his ears?
