video;
[well that sure is a dapper gent on the feed now isn't he. kind of roguish looking, rakish and fierce. he wears a shirt made by a recently missing seamstress and a crimson red coat that hangs open, long black curls of hair that look like dripping candles and the brightest blue eyes face the camera.
he offers a bow to the video.]
Shipmates, firstly I must offer my condolences. To those that were acquainted with our late Miss Stone; she will be greatly missed.
[he lays a hand upon his breast, bowing his head, and he would have swept off his hat, had he had it with him. after a moment's pause, those striking eyes return to the camera and he offers a smile, a sly thing.]
I am James Hook, captain of the Jolly Roger, though I understand such a title is neither here nor there when we travel amoung the stars. I have seen, and heard whisper, of grievances accompanied with these masks that this place has so graciously provided us. Whispers that they are evil things, that cause you to act outside the norm.
Here I have for you, a solution.
[and he steps back, revealing a large, antique chest, about a metre wide.]
I have with me a chest, built for holding and hiding treasure. Now there is very little in the way of what a man like me might consider treasure on board, but it would be a pity to waste such a wonderful chest. "What could I possibly use it for?" said I, as I mused within my cabin. "What use could this chest possibly be on a craft from the future?"
Then I realized! These masks, they cannot be destroyed. Send them beyond the walls of this ship and they should return. But lock them up- [and oh ho, look how clever this man is. his tone is beguiling, convincing, and you may find yourself agreeing with him despite yourself.] and they shan't go anywhere.
So I offer you, my friends, this chest. Any that have not yet found a solution to their distress may bring their masks to me, and I shall lock them away for safe keeping.
[again, he bows]
I reside in cabin eighty, of the ninth floor. My door is open to you.
