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!]

Well, they can't exactly travel in land now can they?

Voice;

[mortalize]

No, but they can travel in air -- or space.

Voice;

[bottlearum]

...Space, eh?

Voice;

[mortalize]

Yes, like where we are now.

Voice;

[bottlearum]

...Not land.

Voice;

[mortalize]

No, not that. Any glance out the window will show you that.

Voice;

[bottlearum]

[He nods. Good information, that, yes indeed.]

...Am I dead?

Voice;

[mortalize]

It would appear not. If you had any mortal injuries before arriving here, they've been healed to the point of no long being fatal.

...Pretend this has been Video on my end the whole time, pft.

[bottlearum]

[He looks down at himself and pats himself down, as if checking for injuries. Nope, he's not hurt.]

...I've been dead before.

Voice; Lol, no worries!

[mortalize]

[...well.]

Is that so? How many times?

Video;

[bottlearum]

Depends. Am I dead now?

Video;

[mortalize]

As I said -- no.

Video;

[bottlearum]

Just once, then.

Video;

[mortalize]

That's interesting.

Video;

[bottlearum]

Was a lot like this, death. A lot o' nothin'.

Video;

[mortalize]

So you were dead for a long period of time before ... not being dead any more?

Video;

[bottlearum]

I was sent t' Davy Jones' Locker 'fore I broke out.

Video;

[mortalize]

Is that the ... place that you believe is your heaven? Or ... hell?

Video;

[bottlearum]

Well, whatever the Locker is, luv, it's not Heaven. It's a barren wasteland of nothing-ness.

Video;

[mortalize]

Ah. And would you say you have lived a ... sinful life -- sir?

Video;

[bottlearum]

[Ha! Jack Sparrow? Sinful? The very idea makes him laugh. Also, you called him sir, and that's kind of funny. He prefers Captain, but respect is respect.]

[Wait just a minute, and he'll stop laughing and then answer in complete seriousness:]

No.

[mortalize]

[Forgive her if she isn't wholly convinced. Her pursed lips make this very clear.]

I see.

Video;

[bottlearum]

[He only gives a rueful grin in reply.]

'm nothing but a saint, luv.

Video;

[mortalize]

Hm. I have a hard time believing that.

Video;

[bottlearum]

'm an honest man, luv.
