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!]

...Track t'what?

[godseer]

Your image as a lovable ruffian has been restored. I no longer perceive you as a threat to my financial well-being, such as it were on this ship, due to your hoarding of liquified sources of income.

[video]

[bottlearum]

...You're not making any sense at'all.

[video]

[godseer]

Never mind. Continue imbibing questionably reasonable beverages at an unsustainable rate. Don't let me keep you from your hilarious pasttimes.

[video]

[bottlearum]

[WOW that was way too wordy, he stopped paying attention about half way through.]

You'll have t' do better than that, luv. I'm just a simple pirate, I don' understand all that... sophisticated words.

[video]

[godseer]

[ Sigh. ] In the words of somebody I know... drink all of the rum. [ Slight emphasis on ALL.

[video]

[bottlearum]

[ALL OF THE RUM!]

Ye have any idea where rum might be, luv?

[video]

[godseer]

[ As a matter of fact, you are talking to a Seer. She responds almost automatically. ]

There's a bottle in the upper cabinet of each floor's kitchens.

[video]

[bottlearum]

[HE AUTOMATICALLY TAKES EVERYTHING BAD HE SAID ABOUT YOU BACK. You are his new favorite person.]

Aye?

[video]

[godseer]

Yes. Start with that. [ There may be rum elsewhere on the ship, but Rose's lips are sealed. There are quite a few kitchens for Jack to get through. ]

[video]

[bottlearum]

[The word "start" catches his attention.]

You mean... there's more?

[video]

[godseer]

This ship replenishes itself, remember?

[video]

[bottlearum]

[...No, but he does now.]

How often?

[video]

[godseer]

Approximately every thirty days, or one twelfth of the time it takes for the Earth to make its journey around the blazing star we call -

[ Oh fuck we're back to big words again. ] Once a month. Give or take.

[video]

[bottlearum]

[There you go, see! We'll become fast friends yet!]

[He gives a nod.]

Good t' know.

[video]

[godseer]

I'm a Seer, I can't really help it. If you need to find more, let me know.

[video]

[bottlearum]

A Seer, eh?

Magic, aye? The supernatural.

[Thank goodness he knows Tia Dalma, so he doesn't find this odd at all.]

[video]

[godseer]

As is often true with this sort of ability, there are many ways to spin it. But that is one correct way.

[video]

[bottlearum]

So you can see th' future, aye?

[video]

[godseer]

It's more complicated than that.

[video]

[bottlearum]

Aye, aye, course it is. Voodoo an' all that.

[video]

[godseer]

I'm much better at evaluating the present in relation to the future.

[video]

[bottlearum]

Aye? How exactly do ye "evaluate th' present"?

[video]

[godseer]

[ Smile. This is always where it gets difficult to explain. ]

I have a good idea of which path to take. I don't always know where it will lead, but I can say with some certainty that the destination will be a welcome one.

[video]

[bottlearum]

Aye?

[Interesting.]

..Just outta curiosity, does th' path ye see me in involve immortality?

[The correct answer to this question would be "yes".]
