17th Dogwatch: [Action]

[lists_to_port]

[Earlier in the day, Jack was searching for the Pirata Codex in the Luceti library. He found it. He also realized that he hasn't been living up to it quite enough. Teague would be unhappy, surely. Gibbs would be puzzled. Barbossa would think he'd gone soft. The raid with Blackbeard had been good, but not enough. The rigging he'd set up by the lake

[doo dee dum, crossin' this bridge with a small bag and a giant cross on my shoulder, doooo~!]

[What the...well really? That's one bulky valuable. Still, to get a bit of practice in...]

Avast! Stop in your tracks or my sword will taste thy blood, wretch!

[not_a_bluesbro]

[Stops. You cannot see my eyes behind my glasses, but they are oh-so-inquisitive.]

Huh? Something I can help you with, buddy?

Well I'm robbing you, aren't I, you great lummox!

Robbing me? I've got nothing you'd really want, though. Of course, I'm pretty good at just giving things, if you're in need of a few valuables.

[Aaa, this brings back memories of desert bandits.]

[lists_to_port]

Giving...things? Such as?

Weeell, let's see-I found this in the shop today~!

[not_a_bluesbro]

[Looking through his small bag when-whoops!]

Huh, that's not what I was looking for-but I don't suppose pirates like black cats, do they?

["Nyeow~"]

All right, all right. Hand it over.

[not_a_bluesbro]

[YES, FUCK YES. HE IS RID OF THIS LITTLE HEATHEN. VASH CANNOT COMPLAIN.]

Sure thing!

[Tosses the cat at the pirate. Luckily Kuroneko is chill right now.]

Careful, he looms a lot.

[lists_to_port]

.........Looms?

[He catches the cat. Catching a cat is one of the hardest things in the world to do, because normally they twist around and come at you with their pointy bits. As this one has. The pointy bits dig into the front of Jack's coat. The pirate quickly takes the cat and buttons him into a pocket.

The pocket is growling. If the cat was chill before, it's not now.]

What's his name then?

[not_a_bluesbro]

[You'd be surprised, that cat is not like a normal cat. It's passive-aggressively freaky.]

A name?

...

I guess he doesn't have one. But I'd be careful if I were you-it's smarter than it looks.

[Juuuust gonna... close this bag and start readying to leave. No give-backs, Sparrow, he's yours.]

[lists_to_port]

Erm...

[The pocket has stopped growling. It is ominous. An ominous cat-filled pocket.]

Perhaps it's best if....cat seems to have liked you better...

[not_a_bluesbro]

Noooononono, you keep it. Really. It'll bring good luck.

After all, what kind of pirate returns what they steal, eh?
