CANADA! [Captain Jack Sparrow fixes the NV with an accusatory stare. In the background, that five feet of snow mentioned in the newsfeed lies around him. Snow is heaped on him as well, on his shoulders, in his hat--probably because he fell asleep outside.]

Canada! [Never mind that he's been here for nearly three months now, there have been more

People mention this is Canada all the time.

Where have you been?

[voice]

[parlelellylelo]

Slander! Slander and lies and base false pretensish deceit, there has never been a mention of Canada within my hearing, else I would have found the fastest ship and gone thataways, far, far from this--tundra.

If you'd read the news in the past few days, you'd know that's impossible too.

[parlelellylelo]

Which is what everyone has been saying since I arrived here, but they didn't tell me that where I had arrived is to Canada. It's no wonder I've found myself blocked at all turns and passes, you have to think differently when it's Canada, savvy?

Video somewhat of a placeholder? Internet hates me :(

[regeneratesalot]

Didn't your Greeter tell you that?

video forever and take your time/kick your internet! <3

[parlelellylelo]

If my greeter had told me this, love, do you think I'd be asking why it is that we're in Canada? I have been caught unawares.

<33

[regeneratesalot]

How long have you been here? It really...isn't a secret that we're in Canada.

[parlelellylelo]

Ah, but I'll counter that easily, if it isn't a secret, how is it that I was caught so unawares and not warned of it before this point and present time of freezing and deep loss?

[southernreaper]

The Greeters always mention it's Canada. Did ya not listen t'em?

[Fun fact: The southern American accent is very close to Jack's time lower class British accent. HAVE FUN WITH THAT.]

[Voice]

[parlelellylelo]

[A momentary pause.]

There were no greetings, there was only dirt. A safety, usually, but in this case--

You sound familiar, have I ignored you before?

[Voice]

[southernreaper]

Uh. No sir. ain't never spoken t'ya afore.

[Voice]

[parlelellylelo]

Really.

[Another pause for thought... and then he continues on, completely untroubled by his own interruption.]

I've already said this, but I shall say it again, for your ears might have missed it: I was not told this was Canada. Had I been told that this was Canada, I would have done several things extremely differently. First and foremost, I would have left. Immediately. And not looked back.

[alwaysforhim]

I told you we were in Canada!

[parlelellylelo]

You did not!

[alwaysforhim]

I most certainly did!

[parlelellylelo]

You did not, lies upon lies, and I'll have you for a liar in full if you lie again and say that you did. You never once said we were in Canada. Nor did you extend the hand of hospitality to me, which is almost more offensi-- You sir, you are offensive!

[caveatwalls]

Bravo. How long until you figure out what year it is? Another few months?

[parlelellylelo]

I'm well aware of the year, it's written out everywhere, on all the signs and the little bits of paper. And it hardly matters, a year is a year is a year, but a year spent in Canada--

Cold.

[caveatwalls]

So is the location.

And another brilliant observation. Excellent.

[parlelellylelo]

Have you been in Canada long, mate? Cold is hardly the term for what it is that happens here. And all your brilliant observations will hardly keep you from freezing, each bit of yourself dropping off, bit by bit. [A beat.] It won't keep your rum from icing over either, fair warning.
