Second Tide Turning ☠ [Action]

On this fair warm September afternoon, Captain Jack Sparrow can be found walking very slowly through town with a bunch of colorful floating balloons in his hand and a thick sheaf of papers under his arm.

[Nagisa's just walking around town when she notices Jack. ..Or rather, when she notices the balloons. Why does that pirate man have so many balloons? ...They're kind of hard to ignore. So bright and colorful and all.]

[lists_to_port]

[Hmmmmmmm....is that young lass eyeing his balloonage? Is she hatching a plot to PILFER one? ALL? Jack warily limps on ahead of her. In his still-fairly-injured condition, he probably couldn't fight off a child.]

[repeatsyearly]

[Beware, Jack. Because now that young lass is following you so she can approach you on the matter. Well, that's half of the reason. A few of those papers fell out of the stack he's carrying and onto the ground, and so she wants to return those to him. ...And then probably ask what all of the balloons for.

But yes. Captain, you're being followed by a moeblob. What do.]

[Oh Lord, this one's near as bad as Kirimi. All winsome and inquisitive-looking and apparently on a mission to bollocks up his kitty-finding/wind-talking activities.

...Perhaps he can talk her into doing some laundry.]

Erm...might I help you, lass? You look as though there's somethin' on your mind.

[repeatsyearly]

[Thing is, if he asked, she probably wouldn't mind doing that.]

U-um, you dropped these! [She hands those papers to him now. As she does, she notices what they were for.] Did you lose your cat? It's really cute.

[lists_to_port]

Aye, I seem to have misplaced my pussy. He's ever so mischievous, you know, though it's not like him to go off like this for such an extended period of time. Enjoys his cat food, you know.

[He snatches the fliers back and shoves them under his arm once more.]

I feel so immature for laughing. q__q

[repeatsyearly]

Ohhh.. I hope you can find him then! If I happen to see him, I'll make sure to tell you.

[Eyeing those balloons now and contemplating whether or not to ask about them. ..Hrrrmm. Decisions, decisions.]

[lists_to_port]

[Oh God, more eyeing. It's unnerving for some reason, being eyed like this by the lass.]

Thank you, darling. That's....very kind of you. Really.

;w;

[repeatsyearly]

[She gives him a smile.] You're welcome!

..Umm, if you don't mind me asking, why do you have so many balloons?

[lists_to_port]

Hmmmm? Why?! Do I look like a man who would walk about with only one balloon in his possession? One measly miserable balloon?!

[repeatsyearly]

[...Well, a pirate holding balloons in general is an interesting site to begin with.]

W-well... I just mean why you have them in general. Is it your birthday?

[lists_to_port]

Oh. No, lass--not my birthday yet. These balloons are here primarily to tempt Kipinn into holding audience with me by the river. That's all!

[Maybe that answer will satisfy this poppet and all the uncanny staring will be at an end!]

Know you the filial spirits?

[repeatsyearly]

Ohh.. Okay!

[Nope. Sorry Jack. Your answer just brought more staring. Well, mainly because she has no clue what he's going on about.] ...Kipinn? I don't know what filial spirits are, either. But I think I've heard people mention them before.

[lists_to_port]

The spirits were here before any of us, eh? Elemental creatures. They can grant you special powers if they take a shine to you. That's why--

[He glances up at his balloons.]

Wind, you know. Thought he might fancy these.

[repeatsyearly]

[Maybe that's what Draco was talking about before.]

Well, balloons are always nice, so maybe he'll like them! Do the spirits have birthdays? Maybe he would like them even more on his!

[lists_to_port]

That is what I am counting on, darling. Aaaaaand not certain if they have proper birthdays or not...though it's a rather interesting concept. My hope is that he shall like them no matter what the day, being the wind and all.

Would you like one?
