[A man-- burly, dark haired, shirtless, hairy and lightly scarred with tiny brown wings flapping excitedly at his back-- can be seen holding what can only be his journal out in front of him. He is wide-eyed with curiosity and more than a little confusion ( Read more... )

...Mister Bush?

[Aaand Kennedy probably did the worst thing possible just now. He and Horatio had been befuddled by the journals, but Bush? Bush would be lost. So never mind. He closes the journal, having caught a glimpse of the man's location, grabs a clean shirt, and heads out toward the fountain to collect him.

This will be fun to explain.]

[Here is a rather belabored voice:] It is indeed, and I would be most thankful for a clue as to where the nearest port is, Mr...?

[By this point, Kennedy has become rather careless as to the fact that he's supposed to be dead. So he shows up at the fountain with a shirt and a certain hesitation the moment he realizes that Bush is probably going to wonder why he's not dead.]

Lieutenant Bush.

[William Bush does not, actually, fall backwards into the fountain. It's a near thing, though. His eyes are as big as bell wheels, and his mouth hangs open for a split second, before he remembers to close it. He looks to the wings at Archie's back, at his own.]

F-figures.

You know, Lieutenant, I'm rather glad it's not Italy. They've got some rather horrid fevers going round there, eh? Not a place for a good English seaman, not at all.

yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 01:28:44 UTC

[Muffled:] Not Italy? Then where, Rome?

I can't say myself, never having proper been. Where's this, then?

Luceti! Sounds like you ought to be marching forth across that blighted Campagna, with a name like that! Tripping over olive trees and falling into great vats of wine!

...Actually, that's not sounding half bad........No. Right. [he clears his throat:] It's a faraway mystical land what has talking animals and lots of rum and pirates and beautiful women and wars and such. Welcome.

HEARTS? I WILL TAKE HEARTS. yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 01:52:47 UTC

Wouldn't say no to the wine, me, but I could do without the oil.

As happy as I'd be to land on Fiddler's Green, I'd expect it to look a mite different. I'd settle for the name of a country.

[Here there will be the face of one Selphie Tilmitt with a understanding smile on her face.]

Excuse me, Lieutenant Bush? You might want to turn your journal right-side-up.

[Video] yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 02:25:29 UTC

[In his alarum, William drops the journal with a yelp. It just talked to him. He recovers quickly, though, and even manages to hold his journal correctly.]

[...Oh, a pretty girl. William smiles.] Aye, all corrected. I'm sorry for my present state, ma'am; it seems I'm all at sea. [The irony is lost on him.]

[Video] boomchucka July 4 2011, 02:31:21 UTC

You're forgiven. [Selphie returns the smile.]

Has anybody told you where you are yet?

[Video] yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 02:39:58 UTC

Luceti, last I heard. And I've been told it isn't really Italy, so you've been saved that. Any further I couldn't credit, though, ma'am.

Lieutenant. This is Luceti, not Italy.

[A pause.]

Moreover, you are holding the journal upside down.

[ video ] yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 13:17:21 UTC

So I heard, so I heard. You wanna tell me sommat I don't know?

[ video ] mistyarc July 4 2011, 18:30:35 UTC

What I tell you would depend on what you already know.

[ video ] yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 18:36:31 UTC

[William counts the information off on his fingers:] Know I'm in some bloody Fiddler's Green, know the wings won't come off, and all sorts of other useless things. What I need to know is how I get home.

[ much later -- perhaps after he's gotten settled? buffy reviews the conversations and with a bit of a wry smile: ] Found some friends from home, huh?

[ video ] yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 18:29:19 UTC

I can indeed count myself so lucky, ma'am. [The video shows Bush doffing his hat towards the journal, and Buffy.]

[ video ] slaying July 4 2011, 18:30:10 UTC

...Oh my God, please -- don't ma'am me. You can call me Buffy. Pretty much everyone does. Mostly 'cause it's my name.

[ video ] yrobtsvt July 4 2011, 18:35:17 UTC

Apologies ma'a-- miss. Miss Buffy? Ah, pleased to make your acquaintance. [He doffs his hat again. It has been a very long time since William's talked to a woman. He may have forgotten how.]
