[ This entry starts with the sound of shrubbery and a black screen. It goes on for a few more seconds, almost a full minute of it with heartfelt cursing interspersed every odd second or so. Next comes the pneumatic sound of the lift doors opening and closing, and a staticky shake of the feed, catching on the tail end of a low goddamnit.

Lo, an Isaac Lahey appears, looking a bit torn up with his dirty shirt but suspiciously not injured. Like at all. At least he didn't catch any of the scheduled "rains", so he's not muddy along with just dirty. ]

Great. Pocket dialing.

So I just went camping. Also I think I have a literal thorn in my ass, but I fell backwards on a bush, so who knows. I'm back, though?

I didn't see the dinosaur. I did find some pretty flower plants, though, like this one.

[ You guys, pay attention. He's holding wolfsbane. Of the non-deadly variety - thanks, Remus, for pointing the shrubbery out that one time - but still wolfsbane. Oh nooo. ]

Anyone knows what flower this is?

...Is that a real hook? What's the story behind that?

[ that thing looks gnarly, man, holy crap. ]

Quite real. [and his attention wanders, just enough to pull out a hankerchief that he starts wiping the hook down with as he speaks.] It was cut off during battle. The brute threw my hand to a crocodile. The beast liked it so much it's followed me ever since, licking it's chops for the rest of me.

[sound familiar, Isaac?]

You mean like Captain Hook?

[ because yes, it sounds familiar, and what young boy who knows how to read hasn't read of Peter Pan and his band of lost boys? there's even a pop culture term for the whole matter, a dedication to all the manchildren of the world. ]

Ah, so you've heard of me.

[HE LOOKS INORDINATELY PLEASED ABOUT THIS]

[ ...OH WELL CRAP WHAT ]

I've heard of your, uh. Incredible rivalry with Peter Pan? [ why didn't he read the actual book, he has no playbook for this thing, what does one do??? ] I'm sorry about your hand, Captain Hook.

Thank you.

[though the flicker of dislike that arises every time the boy is mentioned definitely makes an appearance in his expression]

But I am an adaptable man. Someday, I will have my revenge.

[ Peter Pan and Captain Hook - their rivalry has been the grounds of the childhood fantasies of so many children around the world. Sadly, with Hook as the villain.

Eh, Isaac can empathize with being villified. ]

Live free, die hard, right. Good luck?

Thank you.
