[Oh the good captain has spent the better part of his week gathering supplies of a curious sort. Lengths of cloth and rope. Wood gathered from the leavings of bench making, a few forgotten ladders and broom handles and some cautious and quick dashes to the very edge of the forest to snatch whatever deadwood would do

[Malkus is running around the thermal pools, trying to look for frogs when he hears Jack's voice in his journal. The doctor can't help but contain a laugh at the swaying pirate, but is still interested in that sail and the boat.]

I haven't heard that one before, sir. It sounds interesting, though!

[This bird-man is like a child, mystified by the idea of a life at sea.]

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

[Oh! Who's that? The bird man! Such a decent fellow. Good head on his shoulders!]

There's more to it. Whole much more. Verse upon verse and best sung as many times as you think you can manage!

You should join me, mate! There's plenty to go around and we'll not have any worry of our throats being parched! Come on then!

[Audio]

[doctoral_bird]

I hope to learn it soon, then!

Join you? Y-You mean on your ship?

[Boat. Ship. The tiny row boat at the lake was the largest water craft Malkus has ever really known. Is this an offer to BE PART OF A FEARSOME PIRATE CREW?]

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

[YOU CAN BE HIS SECOND, FIRST MATE!]

AYE! I mean join me! Help me run these sails!

I'll teach you the song on the way as we explore these waters!

[Or they can just get utterly broasted.]

Somebody sounds quite jolly.

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

Little boy! Lass!

[Happy to see you too!]

Jolly, aye, and wishing to share it!

Won't you join me?

[Isn't he charming and absolutely harmless?]

[quicksndpiranha]

I assume this is not the same boat you were so proud to tell me of last time.

[A pause.]

Is it going to sink?

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

To my own deepest regrets this is not The Pearl.

[You can hear it in his voice, he is sad indeed. This pirate was missing his other half something fierce-like.]

It is a sturdy vessel, though, the newly birthed Rally. It'll go where you ask it to upon the waters as what we've got. As long as you do not plan to dump her, she'll float.

[abstinentzombie]

What the fuck.

[That's her only reply to this.]

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

Now! Now-

[Well, even the harlots didn't have a mouth near like that! He's more than a little drunk and just a bit taken aback by it.]

None of that. 'Least ways not yet, love.

[Hear that leer and hopeful pirate smile?]

[Audio]

[abstinentzombie]

[Kloe has a dirty mouth. Don't let it get ya down.]

I'm Doctor Bishop, not 'love'.

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

Ah, my pardon then Doctor Bishop!

[So much flourish you are missing. He'd be standing in the boat and tipping his hat to you. As is, he's sitting and doing the same... to the book.]

You are welcome to join me, as such if you are so inclined.

[Well hello there. That almost looks like a sail in the background of this shot. Kairi's interest: Piqued.]

Hello?

Heh, where are you right now?

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

[Oh hey! He knows that voice! Kind of!]

Hello there, young lass!

I happen to be sailing in the middle of what constitutes as a large body of water here.

[Clearly it was not large enough of his tastes.]

I have built a vessel, as to which to traverse it properly and today the sturdy little ship was christened. I am on her maiden voyage!

[He laughs heartily and swings a bottle into the air as a toast to the Rally.]

[Audio]

[lightyourway]

Sailing?

[She can't contain her sudden enthusiasm. She was right!]

You built a sail boat?

[Audio]

[kptn_sparrow]

Aye to both, lass!

[He's smiling at the journal. You can hear it in his voice.]

The Rally is a fine little ship, do not let her humble origins fool you! She has cast sail upon the little lake here.

If you would like to see?
