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!]

[ Wow, Nepta thinks. This guy is really dedicated to his role! If there's one thing she can respect, it's dedication to a character.

Of course there's the possibility that he's a real pirate, but that would just be absurd. ]

:33 < *suddenly she realizes that the snakes might be eating his think pan from the outside*
:33 < *oh nooooo! she gasps*
:33 < *the writhing pile of reptiles stare at her balefully fur being clever enough to recognize their diabolical plans*
:33 < *i will save you mr. purrate man! she growls*

[Jack does not have the attention span to read all of that. He doesn't even know what a colon is, so he can't even begin to read it out loud. He'll just peer at the phone in confusion.]

Why are these things never helpful?

[ Welp. That looks like genuine confusion there. Suddenly it occurs to her that this guy might actually be a pirate, or at least a very strangely dressed human with hygiene problems. Either way, he's not contributing to the snake-hair scenario.

Obviously the best solution is to turn on the video. The grey skin and horns definitely won't have any effect. ]

I was helping! I was saving you from the nest of snakes on your head. Well, I was purrtending to. Should we start over?

[He's gonna stare at the grey skin and horns. He totally didn't listen to a word you just said to him.]

Ye've got....

[He motions to his head, and then puts his index fingers on top of his head. You've got horns, luv.]

[ She doesn't entirely know what he's doing, so she just mimics him and puts her index fingers on her head. What a strange man. ]

[bottlearum]

[Now, let's just have a long moment where they've both got their index fingers on their head.]

[And now the moment's over, and Jack puts his hands down. Time for another astute observation!]

...You've got grey skin.

Video

[purrfectlycute]

[ It's a glorious moment to be sure. She lowers her hands with a smile. ]

Uh-huh! And yours isn't. I just wasn't gonna point that oddity out to you, heehee!

Video

[bottlearum]

Me skin's not odd!

Video

[purrfectlycute]

Yes it is! It's all... tan-looking. I guess that's normal fur humans but to me it's super weird!

Video

[bottlearum]

...Y'have horns.

Video

[purrfectlycute]

So?

Video

[bottlearum]

...That ain't normal, luv.

Video

[purrfectlycute]

Sure it is! Not having horns is what's strange!
