Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:00:26 AM)
You're a cute elf..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:01:21 AM)
*he smiles a little* I'm a shitty elf.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:02:53 AM)
I don't think so.. *She mumbled softly*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:03:54 AM)
You're loyal. Maybe to a fault. Don't know what I did to earn that loyalty, but I do appreciate it.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:04:08 AM)
Ever trusts you to run her.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:05:00 AM)
And no reason so far for me not to

*He sighs, rolls to his feet, and lights a cigar*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:07:02 AM)
*The pair are on the deck, up til just now doing nothing more then staring at the sky*
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:07:37 AM)
*She walked up to the deck and called out.* Hey you guys, am I interrupting?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:08:19 AM)
No, craftsmistress, if the ship lets you on, you're not interupting.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:09:26 AM)
*She sulked* My pillow got up..
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:10:43 AM)
How're you two tonight?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:11:32 AM)
I'm alive. *She wiggled her toes a bit as she looked down at them*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:11:47 AM)
*He gives Seren a careful hug, cautious with his cigar*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:12:07 AM)
*She leaned into Oct and hugged him back, squeaking softly and snuzzling her face against him*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:15:47 AM)
What's going on then, mistress maker? *asked of Sabine, with a smokey grin*
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:21:35 AM)
Not very much, couldnt sleep, went for a drive...ended up here
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:22:11 AM)
Everbright has that effect on people.
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:26:18 AM)
*she stretched a bit.* Hopefully I'll get sleepy soon
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:27:24 AM)
Try a hammock for -that- effect.
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:28:11 AM)
*she hopped up into a hammock*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:28:53 AM)
*She chuckled softly reached up to hop into a hammock as well*
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:30:51 AM)
It's pretty comfy, sure.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:31:29 AM)
It's better with a mouse to snuggle.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:32:32 AM)
*She squeaked lightly from her hammock, which she practically swam in*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:35:07 AM)
See, the mouse knows.

Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:39:16 AM)
*Bastian came down the dock, approaching the ship. His workout bag once again slung over his shoulder*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:39:33 AM)
*Octavian's standing on deck, smoking a cigar and watching the docks as the girls relax*
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:39:59 AM)
I brought some candy Dippy.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:40:37 AM)
Mm.. what kind?
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:41:33 AM)
Sourballs, they have gum inside, and cherry heads, and skittles. All for you.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:41:51 AM)
*Serendipity and Sabine are in different hammocks hanging on the deck* Hmm.. *She grinned slowly* I'll have to stash them.
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:42:35 AM)
Or I could hide them on the ship somewhere and you'd have to find them.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:42:44 AM)
*Seeing someone on deck, he called out* Ahoy the ship... permission to come aboard?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:44:23 AM)
*She grinned slowly* That would be fun.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:44:28 AM)
Permission granted! *He calls back, as the gangplank drops*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:45:38 AM)
*With a grin, he came up the gangplank* Captain. I hope your evening finds you well.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:46:09 AM)
*She waved at Bastian as he came on board*
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:46:47 AM)
*she took some candy out of a pocket and reached out to Dippy, handing it to her.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:47:01 AM)
Well enough. *He says with a nod. There's still a faint aura of meloncholy about the captain though.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:47:14 AM)
*She caught it as she swung that-a-way, popping a little in her mouth before she nudged Oct and offered him some*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:47:52 AM)
*He waved at Serendipity in return, eyeing the candy-handoff mildly curiously*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:48:23 AM)
*He shakes his head* Keep your stash, XO. You'll need it for long voyages.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:48:37 AM)
Candy makes people smile though..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:48:53 AM)
So does having friends around, XO.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:49:51 AM)
Want a hug? Hugs make people smile.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:51:32 AM)
*He shakes his head, rather obviously returning to some measure of formality.* What brings you around, then? *he asks Bastian, sounding curious*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:52:45 AM)
*Bastian's eyebrows went up. Had he interrupted a moment? That would be unfortunate. The captain's question brought him back to paying attention.* Hmm? Well, in all honestly, having a deck under my and the sky above... it's a comfort to me.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:53:23 AM)
Good to hear. I'll be posting an open call for sailors in the next few days.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:53:54 AM)
Hopefully, I can make the cut, then.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 12:53:55 AM)
*She grinned and pointed at a hammock* Wanna join us Bastian?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:56:24 AM)
Well, I'd thought about standing and looking out over the rails, but it looks like the captain has that covered... may I? *Indicating the hammock*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 12:57:09 AM)
*Oct waves towards the hammock* I don't mind. Might as well relax.
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 12:57:17 AM)
*down the docks comes a man, dressed in a early 1700s shirt and pants, he is barefoot, a bag over his shoulder, he walks towards the Everbright, when he hits where the gangplank should have been when lowered, he seems to vanish and reappear on deck, walking towards the lower decks*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 12:59:38 AM)
*The sudden arrival of someone, sans gangplank, causes Bastian to do a double take.*
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 12:59:49 AM)
Oh another ghost, what the foggingsheepshaggingshit.
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 1:00:00 AM)
We had one show up at Rooks
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:00:12 AM)
*She jumped a bit and rolled right off the hammock and to her feet, watching the guy going down below decks* Uh..
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 1:00:27 AM)
I think it's connected to Cold Water...there's this ghostly phenomena going on there.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:00:40 AM)
XO..follow that spook, please. If it looks dangerous, sing out.
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 1:00:59 AM)
*she hopped up too.* Come on Dippy
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:00:59 AM)
Permission to accompany her, captain?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:01:33 AM)
*He nods to Bastian, crossing his arms and moving towards the plank to keep an eye out for more of the things*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:01:47 AM)
*She nodded and went hurriedly scampering down below - girl could move when she needed to*
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:02:03 AM)
*he walks to the lower decks to where the sleeping quarters are on a normal tall ship and goes through the motions fo stowing his gear*
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 1:02:31 AM)
*She followed Miss Mouse down below, hand on the pommel of her sword.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:02:39 AM)
*She followed the guy into the quarters and tilted her head somewhat* Name, sailor!
Sabine Lefevre (Mar 22, 2011 1:02:55 AM)
It's likely not going to answer Dippy.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:02:59 AM)
*Bastian hurried after Serendipty, glancing at Sabine's grip on her sword* Think that's necessary?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:03:11 AM)
*She shrugged slightly* Doesn't hurt to try.
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:04:09 AM)
*he pauses and looks at Serendipity, confusion registered on his face, before he turns to finish stowing his gear*
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:06:10 AM)
((anyone with Kenning roll is at diff 7 please))
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:06:18 AM)

Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:12:52 AM)
*Looking at the guy intently, she took some of the candy from her pocket and stuffed the little skittle bits in her mouth and began whispering softly around them, garbling her speech faintly*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:13:12 AM)
*Bastian arched an eyebrow. Okay. This was weird.*

Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:20:05 AM)

Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:20:10 AM)
*His eyebrows went up again.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:20:13 AM)

Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:22:05 AM)
*he looks at her* the ship you are on maam, which you dont look round enough for having a son of gun is the Gazelle
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:23:25 AM)
A son of gun?
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:24:03 AM)
yes maam, have your child by the guns, and leave it there if it is boy
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:24:52 AM)
Please maam I have to go, I dont want to let the cat out of the bag if I am late reporting
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:24:53 AM)
*She just blinked a few times, caught somewhere between indignant and horribly embarassed* .. w..h.. uh.. what's the captain's name?
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:25:37 AM)
Captian Jean Le Devirou
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:25:38 AM)

Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:25:48 AM)
Thank you very much sailor. I won't keep you...
Hidden (Mar 22, 2011 1:26:15 AM)
*he walks towards the door, walking through Bastian as if he was not there, and fades before he reachs the door*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:26:41 AM)
*That startled him something fierce* Whoa.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:27:23 AM)

Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:27:26 AM)
I AM NOT PREGNANT!
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:28:05 AM)

Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:31:12 AM)

*very very flat*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:32:48 AM)

Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:33:19 AM)

Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:34:21 AM)
What's up, XO? Did you whisper him? I was gonna suggest it.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:34:50 AM)
Yes'm Capt'n. He was very rude and suggestive and were he solid I'd have given him a good what-for.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:35:27 AM)
lemme guess. He was an old-timey sailor, and assumed you were a whore or slattern.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:35:36 AM)
He thought I was PREGNANT!
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:35:41 AM)
...Or that.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:35:43 AM)
..what's a slattern?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:35:50 AM)
A slut, more or less.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:36:03 AM)

Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:36:42 AM)
*He really was trying not to snicker.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:37:04 AM)
Only women on a ship were sailor's wenches and wives, XO. of course he'd assume that's what you were.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:37:34 AM)
William Flinnigean the ole Scottish welp should be keel hauled from one end of the Gazelle under orders of Captain Jean Le Devirou and have a big ole cannon ball stuffed in HIS gut for insinuating that my PERFECTLY INNOCENT SELF might go and birth a baby and leave it by the blasted cannons like some general harlot! Stupid 1689's.. stupid year.. VERY BAD YEAR..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:38:13 AM)
Perfectly innocent, huh?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:38:39 AM)
PERFECTLY! .. mostly.. more or less... nobody can prove OTHERWISE.. .. pretty sure..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:38:56 AM)
Mistress Crafter? What say you on that topic?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:39:01 AM)
*Okay, that made his eyebrow arch curiously.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:39:04 AM)
Everbright! I'm perfectly innocent aren't I?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:41:16 AM)
*Oct snickers. Everbright is diplomatically silent*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:42:40 AM)
... *She grumped and looked pointedly cute and adorable*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:43:07 AM)
*he tugs on Seren's ear, playfully, then turns to Bastian* What did you see?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:43:12 AM)
*Bastain was about to snicker as well, but then the pooka did the "cute" thing and he was all "awwww." Quietly, of course.*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:44:14 AM)
Much as your officer said. Old-timey sailor, didn't even seem to see me, only responded to questions when properly invoked. Walked through me then faded away.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:44:27 AM)
What did you feel?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:44:27 AM)
*Yes.. the facade is working.. the force is strong with this one.. FEAR THE CUTE ... proper application and they will all fall over themselves to give you candy.. and they'll all think it was their own idea... MUAHAHHAHAHAHA... cue randomly squeaking and cute smiling mouse face*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:48:36 AM)
I... felt the touch of Glamour in the air, but couldn't tell from whence it came. When the apparition passed through me, I didn't feel anything but startled.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:48:59 AM)
*he nods* I could feel the glamour from here. Felt it fading.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:52:29 AM)

Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:55:20 AM)
Spanish captain? I thought his name was French.. *scratching at an ear curiously*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:55:37 AM)
What was it again?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:56:02 AM)
Captain Jean Le Devirou
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 1:56:21 AM)
Sounds French to me...
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 1:56:24 AM)
Oh...ok...makes a little more sense. Still a decade and a half too early.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 1:59:57 AM)
*Her ear flicked a bit* .. maybe.. they were early..? Or scouting..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:00:30 AM)
Not sure...I -think- the french trappers got here in the nineties. Before that, it was native americans.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:01:19 AM)
Or just really big jerkfaces who say smartass things about perfectly innocent women. *harumph*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:01:48 AM)
Or maybe he was seeing the future! *he says, straight faced for all of ten seconds*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:02:14 AM)
*She GLOWERED at the captain before her eyes rounded and her chin quivered*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:02:45 AM)

Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:03:29 AM)

Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:03:50 AM)
Yes you did. Out loud. In front of people.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:04:05 AM)
*Okay. Cue mouth hanging open and silence.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:06:32 AM)

Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:12:13 AM)
Hammock! Grilling is always better in hammocks.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:14:15 AM)
Grill who, me?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:14:28 AM)
Yup. I wanted to pick your brain.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:15:04 AM)
Oh? Well, not much mining to be done in there, but any question I'll do my best to answer...
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:15:06 AM)
He has tools for it. Mostly painless even.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:16:10 AM)
I do, I do. *he says with a grin, then* I'm just curious about what you'd want to do if you hire on as crew.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:17:29 AM)
*He tilted his head* How so? I mean, I figure if you need an able body to help run rigging and whatnot, I'm good for that...
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:18:20 AM)
I mean, do you think you'd be able to manage officer level work? Specialist work, they'd prolly call it today. Surgeon, carpenter and the like
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:19:11 AM)
Any overwhelming fears? Special skills, primary abilities, allergies, animal hatreds?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:21:20 AM)
*He shook his head* I doubt I'm officer material. Aside from the grunt-work I used to do, and a smattering of first aid... Well, I pretty much only keep one thing in practice, but I don't know as to it being much use to you.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:21:36 AM)
What's that?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:22:40 AM)
Uhm. I swordfight. A little. *He pointed to where he'd set down his workout bag.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:23:18 AM)
Think you could manage a gun crew, or organize the deck crew?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:24:49 AM)
Well... if need be. *He considered* ...are you asking me this sort of thing because I'm already interested, or is this standard for the signups?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:25:37 AM)
I'm trying to figure out where to put people. The more information I have, the happier i'll be with my decisions.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:26:20 AM)
And no overwhelming fears that I know of, nor any allergies.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:26:48 AM)
Are you pregnant or prone to get knocked up by random dudes? *asked with a tinge of teasing to his tone*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:27:17 AM)
*She grumped*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:27:35 AM)
...Last I checked, I don't have the plumbing for that, sir.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:28:14 AM)
Ok. If you -do- get knocked up, say by an alternate universe version of yourself, you'd let us know, right?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:29:51 AM)
...is that something that happens often? *And yes, he winds up glancing at the XO. Just to check.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:30:26 AM)
I've seen it happen. *granted, it was on a british comedy, but he's not mentioning that part*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:31:00 AM)
.... GAH! You both suck. *She grumped and crossed her arms over her chest* Buying a friggin chastity belt
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:31:31 AM)
...well, I suppose that would keep that thing you say hasn't been happening from happening, yes...
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:32:10 AM)
My personal life is personal. No talky
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:32:38 AM)
Good. *and, to Seren* What are you on about, XO?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:32:46 AM)
Sorry. *he winced, managed to refrain from blushing, and looked at the sky.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:33:05 AM)
Nuffin..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:33:59 AM)
Alright. *he harumphs, lighting another cigar* Ok, dude, can you think of anyone you know who -would- be good in officer positions?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:34:40 AM)
Honestly, I haven't gotten to know most people in town. I've perhaps had bad timing at the watering hole.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:34:55 AM)
*he waggles a hand* It's all good.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:35:22 AM)
Sorry I'm not much use to you on that account.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:35:38 AM)
Meh. Can't win 'em all

(Thank goodness you're back to save me!)
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:43:45 AM)
(mwa ha ha)
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:45:29 AM)
(*sad face*)
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:45:42 AM)
*Oct puffs on his cigar, looking away, suddenly distracted*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:46:02 AM)
*He took a couple steps back, until he could sit on a hammock*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:49:29 AM)
*She wiggled her feet a bit and watched Oct curiously* Everything okay Capt'n?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:50:08 AM)
...What? *he asks, looking up, blinking*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:50:16 AM)
You zoned, everything ok?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:51:40 AM)
Yeah. Temporal drift.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:52:01 AM)
Not getting knocked up by your not-you-but-you self are you?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:52:49 AM)
...Exactly.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:53:39 AM)
Dangit Capt'n, where are we going to put more of you here-but-not-extra-dimentional babies? Not having to change diapers and the not-really-here smell is overwhelming.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:54:54 AM)
At least I get to pay alimony to myself.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:55:33 AM)
*Bastian's eyebrows were creeping up to his horns.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:55:38 AM)
Well I suppose that is something.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:56:02 AM)
Saves on taxes, obviously.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:56:33 AM)
And having as many extra-dimentional-babies as you do I bet you get a nice refund..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:56:47 AM)
Shit yeah.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:57:09 AM)
Do you have a cheat sheet to remember their names?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:57:26 AM)
Nah. I just name them all Tim.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 2:58:04 AM)
Even the girls?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 2:58:17 AM)
Yup.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 2:59:31 AM)
*He chuckled*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:00:06 AM)
*She grinned at Bastian and flung her arms up in the air like she were calling a touchdown* YES! Finally a giggle!
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:00:16 AM)
*Oct grins smokily*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:00:56 AM)
*He actually laughed at that.* Oh, was that the goal here?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:01:28 AM)
The XO is in charge of crew morale.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:01:35 AM)
Well I was wondering how long it was gonna go before you stopped thinking we were serious. *She peered towards him* ... we are being serious, by the way.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:03:15 AM)
*He grinned* Okay, I am confused and amused.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:03:42 AM)
YES! XO twenty-thousand and six and Bastian zip. Don't worry, you can catch up.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:04:30 AM)
Hell, I'm surprised I haven't been docked points for the Reese's incident the other day...
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:05:10 AM)
Nah. We don't do points. We do lashes.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:05:23 AM)
He's quite evil when it comes to the lashes.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:05:55 AM)
Then I'm happy to be at zero lashes. I'm surprised your XO has sustained twenty thousand so well.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:06:21 AM)
Are you kidding? It's harrowing.. do you know how hard it is to put mascara on so many lashes? Sheesh
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:06:33 AM)
Ok. -she- does points. I do lashes. I'm the bad cop.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:06:52 AM)
I'm the one that jumps off the ship
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:07:02 AM)
Jumps off?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:08:02 AM)
Jumps off. When it's snowing.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:08:04 AM)
Swan dive.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:08:07 AM)
It was not snowing!
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:08:28 AM)
It wasn't?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:08:46 AM)
No.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:09:21 AM)
Oh. Damn.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:09:29 AM)
Why damn?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:09:50 AM)
Having a polar bear pooka as XO woulda been cool.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:10:12 AM)
Take up more space, though.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:10:16 AM)
... thanks, I feel loved.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:10:44 AM)
Nah. *and, to Seren* Relax. I like mice more. You fold up and fit in my pocket, which is good for when we get crowded.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:11:07 AM)
*He shot Serendipity a sympathetic look. And did he just flutter his eyelashes at her?*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:12:29 AM)
*She blinked a few times as she looked at Bastian and fidgeted, blushing some and adjusting herself in the hammock*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:13:58 AM)
*He snickers, blowing smoke rings towards the sky*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:15:01 AM)
*He smiled to himself, mentally giving himself a point. He stretched out on his own hammock, sighing gratefully at being able to relax.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:18:22 AM)
*She stuck her tongue out at him*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:19:05 AM)
Ut oh. I don't think the XO knows the secret tongue code.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:19:12 AM)
The what now?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:19:19 AM)
Secret tongue code? What tongue code?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:20:50 AM)
Nevermind, dude ruined it. He was supposed to play along
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:20:57 AM)
What is it?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:21:24 AM)
...sorry, I was going to try and say something witty, but that took me out of left field and threw me off.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:22:58 AM)
It's imaginary, XO. I ws gonna try make you blush again.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:23:22 AM)
Oh.. right, totally knew that.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:25:06 AM)
Obviously.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:25:11 AM)
Hmm. Then again...
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:26:12 AM)
Then again?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:26:54 AM)
*She looked a bit confused, looking between the two of them*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:28:12 AM)
Well, I'm sure that someone has come up with one at some point. Now I just need to figure out what it is.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:29:34 AM)
Oh. Ok. Yeah.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:33:59 AM)
Blah.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:34:05 AM)
Blah?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:34:06 AM)
That's what I claim. I claim the blah.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:34:34 AM)
Ah. Then I'll call your "blah" and raise you a "Meh."
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:34:49 AM)
Well I'll meet you 'meh' with a 'feh'.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:35:07 AM)
(*your)
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:35:11 AM)
I call. What do you have?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:35:24 AM)
Ears.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:35:57 AM)
You do indeed. I'm impressed by them.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:36:01 AM)
And a button nose.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:36:13 AM)
*They promptly perked upright and swiveled a bit and her nose twitched*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:36:22 AM)
Awww.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:36:26 AM)
My eyes, however, are not made out of coal.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:37:06 AM)
Good thing. You'd have terrible visual acuity.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:37:14 AM)
Indeed.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:37:19 AM)
I think we should all go for a swim..
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:37:33 AM)
I'm hardly dressed for one.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:37:38 AM)
We have suits.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:38:05 AM)
Oh?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:40:15 AM)
Yep. Spare clothes.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:40:33 AM)
Ah. Well then.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:41:00 AM)
I still don't swim. But I don't mind playing lifeguard.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:41:09 AM)
*She swung back and forth in the hammock before she rolled right out of it and landed, promptly hopped up and went scampering down below decks*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:41:52 AM)
Don't swim?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:44:54 AM)
*And she came bounding back up on deck in a bikini with a towel around her waist and a pair of swim trunks held out for Bastian. And, for once, her aviator's cap is off*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:46:45 AM)
Don't swim. Not here.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:46:52 AM)
*He paused, taking the offered trunks as if by reflex.* Uhm, thanks.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:47:04 AM)
Where -do- you swim Capt'n?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:47:20 AM)
Clean water, mostly.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:47:32 AM)
Well, true.. could we go out a little out to water?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:52:15 AM)
I don't want to leave port. We might be needed.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:52:28 AM)
Just for a few hours?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:53:25 AM)
*he shakes his head* Here is fine. Just don't drink the water. Or even look at it from underneath.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:54:12 AM)
*She grumped a bit but nodded then pointed Bastian down below* Go change!
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:54:28 AM)
Yes'm. *And down below he went.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 3:56:58 AM)
*he snickers, glancing over to Seren. Actually smiling a little*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 3:58:04 AM)
*She grinned at Octavian and stuck her tongue out at him before chuckling* Whatcha thinking? Fun? Good thing?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 3:58:50 AM)
*He came back up from below after a bit, now in the shorts, his shirt and kilt draped over one arm.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:01:05 AM)
Pleased to see you keeping morale up like a good XO. *he says, striding to the far rail to perch there and play lifeguard*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:01:15 AM)
I try... sometimes it works..
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:04:00 AM)
*She padded around the deck, looking around before she pulled off the towel and draped it and then climbed up onto the siding and promptly dove off*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:07:00 AM)
*He called down* How's the water?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:07:30 AM)
Absolutely horrible, full of spikes and pirranahs
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:08:19 AM)
Sounds about right. *He went to the edge, looked for a likely patch of water, and dove.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:08:35 AM)
Don't get run over by a tanker. *he calls down*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:10:41 AM)
Yess'um! *She began swimming around*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:13:34 AM)
*He hit the water with a splash, vanished under the surface for a bit, then resurfaced, swimming a few strokes. Fairly decent swmmer, too.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:15:55 AM)
How's the water?
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:16:26 AM)
Considering spring just started, not bad.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:16:49 AM)
*She giggled and promptly splashed Bastian before diving under the water and swimming around. FISH-MOUSE!*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:19:19 AM)
Careful, she's half shark.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:21:11 AM)
Which half? *He eyed the water, waiting for his opportunity to countersplash?
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:23:02 AM)
The dangerous one, obviously.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:23:37 AM)
...That could go any number of ways.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:23:58 AM)
*She wiggled a little under the water and surfaced, giggling as she pounced on Bastian's shoulders*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:24:23 AM)
So does she! *he calls down with a laugh*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:25:40 AM)
Wait, what? Glrble! *That last was from him being pushed under, utterly surprised.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:26:21 AM)
*She squeaked gleefully and wiggled about before she went swimming off quickly*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:27:37 AM)
*Oh, now it was -on-. He swum under the water, looking for the mouse-fish.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:28:58 AM)
*She giggled, surfacing and swimming around, trying to twist about in the water to make it harder to be caught*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:30:25 AM)
*Go for the ankle! He was surprisingly nimble in the water for someone with hooves.*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:34:04 AM)
*She wiggled and swam about quickly right up until her foot got napped and she squeaked*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:34:26 AM)
Hey, watch that roughhousing!
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:35:02 AM)
Aww but it's kinda fun!
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:35:10 AM)
*He surfaced* She started it!

(This user has entered The Everbright) (IP = 69.123.179.73)
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:36:21 AM)
I'll not have my crew drowning twenty feet from shore! * Octavian is perched on the railing, yelling at the water. odd*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:40:11 AM)
Okay okay, I be good. See, we're good.. no drowning.. a few nibbles from the pirannah and a little sucker-love from the octopus but otherwise pretty good
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:40:21 AM)
If I see jelly fish I'm getting out though.
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:40:45 AM)
Jelly fish like that one? *he asks, pointing*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:41:03 AM)
Gyah! *Swimming away from the supposed jellyfish*
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:41:21 AM)
*She promptly screamed and scrabbled up the side of the ship, holding onto little spots where the wood met as she began a squeaking fit*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:43:18 AM)
Oh, wait. Plastic bag. My bad.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:43:48 AM)
Son of a...
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:43:56 AM)
... NOT NICE! *Grumbling squeaks as she dropped back down into the water* Jelly fish KEEL ME! DED. D.E.D ded
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:44:07 AM)
Wait, a plastic bag... full of what?
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:44:14 AM)
Ew..
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:45:11 AM)
*he points* Plastic shopping bags look so much like jellyfish sometimes, animals eat them, and die from it.
Serendipity Jones (Mar 22, 2011 4:47:56 AM)
Well.. grab the bag.. don't want animals getting choked and dead.
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:48:26 AM)
*He snagged the bag, steadfastly refusing to think about what waas once in it, and pulled himselfup onto the dock.*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:51:31 AM)
At least it's not condoms! *he calls to Bastian* Those look like little jellyfish
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:52:46 AM)
Gyah. *Somewhere on the dock must be a trash receptacle. He went looking for it to deposit his "catch"*
Octavian Vanderaa (Mar 22, 2011 4:54:13 AM)
*There's a can at the bottom of the plank, for tourists leaving the ship*
Bastian Campbell (Mar 22, 2011 4:55:59 AM)
