Now, this is interesting. Very interesting, at that. And with bloody bad timing, I'd say- nasty bugger was getting away with my peanut.

Speaking of which! Though... not entirely... [Jack finishes walking to one end of the street, only to pivot around and start walking back from the direction he came from.]An explanation! It would come in rather

[knowsacrifice]

...What.

[alwaystherum]

Not much of an explanation, darling.

[knowsacrifice]

...Er, right. This is Template City.

[alwaystherum]

Template? Can't say I've heard of it. Bit off course, that must be- Nowhere near a godforsaken beach, is it?

[sevenxsorrows]

You're in another version of a city called Template, that likes to pull people from other worlds here. There's no real reason, other than someone must be fairly bored.

[alwaystherum]

Ah, so it's a matter of worlds, is it? [Short pause]

So I take it you haven't seen... [Pretends to be thinking on this] Say, a ship nearby, have you?

[sevenxsorrows]

... [Raise of an eyebrow, oh, what the hell]

Uh. What... sort of ship?

[alwaystherum]

A ship with black sails, love- rather hard to miss. She's called the Black Pearl. And! [This is said with an obvious tone of pride.] She's the fastest ship to ever sail the Caribbean.

[barous_scythe]

What's to explain? You're in a weird city that drags people from their homes and puts them here like some kind of magic. Can't you just figure the rest out yourself?

[alwaystherum]

Now, I could. But it's so much simpler to let others do it in my place, yes? Said others- with the exception of yourself, that is- are, in fact, rather keen on telling their stories. Bit of a contradictory predicament, I would say.

[barous_scythe]

... They do like doing that. Not like they didn't tell me everything without me even asking.

Fine. What else do you need to know? If I feel like 'telling stories', maybe I'll answer.

[alwaystherum]

Any stories of the origins of this city? No place that doesn't have it's myths, yes?

[powersoul]

...Monkey?

[alwaystherum]

Aye, nasty little creature that was, too. Doubt we'll find him around here, though- gave him up not that long ago.

[powersoul]

That's... Good.

[alwaystherum]

Aye, that it is.

[alwaystherum]

You don't look that familiar- have we spoken before?

[OOC: XD Yes, perfectly fine!]

[alwaystherum]

Penelo, aye? Never met you, but I take it you've heard my stories, then.
