Sailing 001 | Video

[When the video starts, it's of a man with tan skin and long hair. Some of it is in dreadlocks, some of it is in braids. He's wearing a black leather tricorn hat above a red bandanna. He's got beads and trinkets in his hair, and he's dressed in full pirate garb. That jumpsuit was weird, why would he wear that when he's got his clothes?]

[He's also upside down. Jack, how did you get on the ceiling, that's not--Oh, wait, no. He's just holding the cell phone upside down. How do I technology?]

Right.

So, I'm t' believe that I'm on some sort of...

[He pauses for a moment, and the video flails around for a minute. Jack is gesturing with his hands and doesn't realize that some viewers may become motion sick. He finally finds the word he was looking for, and the video stops and you've got a lovely video of the wall. Isn't it beautiful?]

...ship. In the sky. Above the Earth. Floatin' in space.

...The Locker made a lot more sense the first time around. This is just... odd.



[Fourth walling is encouraged!]

I'd know that face anywhere! Hey Jack!

[video]

[bottlearum]

[Have an odd look. The video is still upside down.]

Who're you?

[Sorry, Sora!]

[video]

[lookingsharp]

C'mon, you know me. We looked for treasure together! It's Sora!

[mortalize]

It's surprising, the number of people here who have no idea about space travel.

Voice;

[bottlearum]

[Oh! That is a woman's voice! He grins. The video is still upside down.]

The only kinda travelin' I do, luv, is in a ship.

[video]

[godseer]

[ Have the face of a thirteen-year-old girl, graced by an orange hoodie. (She's lowered the hood for now, so she can, you know, see.) ]

I wouldn't set this particular ship in water. That's not the way it's designed. Though it does raise the question of what planets we're passing, if any...

[ Shrug. ] Anyway, if you wish to believe something different, you may. Reality's a funny thing when you choose to alter your perception of it.

[video]

[bottlearum]

Planets, eh?

[He gives a frown.]

So it's true, then? Space.

[cons]

Don't worry, you're not the only one who--

[Wichita's just gonna wait until the camera stops moving around so much before continuing. Then again-]

We can see you, you know that, right?

[Also no, it hasn't clicked that she knows that face and that voice from one of Little Rock's favorite Disney movies yet. Juuuust give it time.]

[bottlearum]

[Welp, this is news to him.]

...Y'can?

[ The extravagant outfit OBVIOUSLY signifies that this man is a roleplayer. Who the fuck else would dress like a pirate. Nepeta has to be cautious that he's not into the dangerous kind of RP since. pirate. Yep.

There is only one way to test this out. ]

:33 < *ac saunters away from her warm spot on the floor to sniff curiously at the guy with the pirate hat*
:33 < *but she makes sure to keep a safe distance from the snakes that have made a nest on his head*

[ The sad part is this is probably less confusing than seeing what she actually looks like. ]

[Hi. I am Captain Jack Sparrow. I am from the 1740s. I'm lucky I know how to read as it is. I do not know what colon three three and those < and * symbols are. Not that what your saying makes any sense at all.]

[His video is still on, and it is still upside down. He stares at the phone and the text with the oddest expression ever.]

...what the bloody hell is this?

[statsraaden]

[Stats is in his room. You can see paintings of quite a few tall ships on the walls.]

Er... well, yes, we're in a spaceship. I used to find it strange for the first few days, but... I've got better. And I used to be a tall ship. I looked like this.

[Stats turns the camera toward one of the paintings, more precisely toward the biggest tall ship, before turning back to himself. You might have been able to read STATSRAAD LEHMKUHL on the ship.]

I'm Stats. Nice to meet you.

[bottlearum]

[...what.]

...Ye used t'... be... a ship, mate?

[ So, his forays into the network so far have been strictly business, simply gathering information as he tries to lie low...but all work and no play make a cranky god or something and no one really wants that. Least of all Loki himself. ]

Is it really so hard to believe?

Video

[bottlearum]

[It takes a minute for Jack to notice there's now text on his phone. He still hasn't turned his video off--not that he knows how--and it's still upside down.]

..."Is it really so hard t'believe"?

[He considers this for a long moment.]

...Is what have t'believe?

text;

[addictive]

A PIRATE!!!!
NEATO.

PS. HI.

Video

[bottlearum]

[Jack does not know what this text thing is. He just notices there are words on his phone that wasn't there before. His video is still on, and he's still holding it upside down.]

..."A pirate. Nea-- Ne-- Neat-- Neat-o."

[What is slang?]

"Ps."

[It's less of P.S., and more of a pssssss. It sounds like he's got a leak.]

"Hi."

[He considers this.]

...Well. That was just maddeningly unhelpful.

[sermonize]

Is your planet of origin incapable of interstellar travel?

Video

[bottlearum]

[Why are there more words on his communicator? This thing is just odd. He still hasn't turned his video off, and he's still upside down.]

"Is your planet of ...ori-gin... inca-- incap--"

[Aaaaand, his attention span is gone.]

Why do none of these things make sense?

[goldshirt]

[...lol]

Where are you from?

video;

[bottlearum]

[By this time, Jack's managed to hold the video not upside down! Horray for small victories!]

The Caribbean, mate. Where am I now?

[unwaveringloyalty]

There is much that is [ ... ] odd.

Forever Video

[bottlearum]

Y'ain't kidding, luv.

video, WOW THIS IS HARD NOT TO RESPOND AS BARBOSSA...

[france]

You sound as if you are unwilling to accept the absurdities of life. Aaa, yes, we are on a ship, yes, we are about the planet. Why is that so difficult to believe? [ He tilts his head back, raising a brow at the screen as Jack disappears from it. ]

You know, you look strangely familiar. Like euuuh... aa, yes! The citizen of 'Merica, Johnny Depp? Are you Johnny Depp? Aaa you must me, you left 'Merica for me, aaa my new citizen, it is so nice to see you aboard this ship! I thought I was without my people, but I am not! [ yeah being sorely disappointed is becoming somewhat of a regular occurrence... ]

video, THIS IS WHY YOU APP HIM, BBY. Also, forgot Johnny Depp was French. Good catch, there.

[bottlearum]

I've seen some strange things before, mate. Bein' in space ain't one of them. Not so sure I ain't dead. Again.

[Aaaaaand now you've lost him. 'Merica? Johnny Depp?]

Not sure who you're confusin' me with, mate, but I ain't this Johnny Depp. I happen t' be... Captain Jack Sparrow!
