[Booth's mostly wandering as well. He can shrug off most of the begging, just taking in the atmosphere of the city. Unlike Spike, he isn't attempting to...appropriate...anything, but he nods when he recognizes him in the crowd.]

[It's just imaginary people in some fake town Booth, you've got to take advantages where you can. Which is what he's doing as he bumps into some young girl and waves it off as another depth perception issue. No shame over here.

Spike spots Booth though, and raises his head. So he didn't lose everyone from the ship yet. He's got convenient timing, so he falls in line next to him.] -- Happy to be on land?

[beltbucklerebel]

I don't know...the ship isn't so bad. Nice to be able to stretch my legs a bit, though.

[what? He's actually kind of enjoying this pirate schtick]

[gottaknockhard]

[...did he see the ship? They should sell it while they're here and see if they even get enough to buy a round of drinks.]

You're one of the accepting guys, huh?

[beltbucklerebel]

Accepting of the crap this castle pulls? Hell no.

But...c'mon, man. Pirates. How cool is that?

[gottaknockhard]

[He'll get back to him on that. It could be worse.]

They don't have those where you're from?

[beltbucklerebel]

Well, sure. They had them in the past. But the only pirates most people are dealing with nowadays are stealing music. As far as pirates go, we're talking pretty lame.

[gottaknockhard]

We had some around back home, but they're not really the same stereotype.

[beltbucklerebel]

Seeing as I'm not really going for a faithful recreation, I'm gonna stick with pirates being cool.

[gottaknockhard]

Here's hoping we run into more people who think that. We might get more out of them.

[beltbucklerebel]

Right now I'll just be grateful that we've got people to deal with instead of sea freaks and things out of a twilight zone episode.

[gottaknockhard]

[That gets a smile. Even the deadly sea freaks are funny if you think about them as special effects come to life.]

Yeah. This could be as normal as it gets.

[beltbucklerebel]

...you don't have to put it like that.

[gottaknockhard]

[It's true. This is the closest to home he's seen in a year.]

Should be more useful than the last island anyway.

[beltbucklerebel]

Pal, Just about anything would be more useful than the last island.

[gottaknockhard]

I don't know, the foreboding letters started to make sense eventually.
