Twenty-one Bells: [ACTION/VOICE]

Sep 11, 2011 17:31

[Archie has barely been around town lately, but he does appear in town this afternoon, dashing about to various shops and stores and picking up various one-use items and lots and lots of groceries. He seems to have one thing on his mind.

Later, he'll sit at the fountain and send out the voice message:]

This is Mr. Kennedy. If anyone is in need of me ( Read more... )

babysitting jack, still okay, action, a case of the sads, voice

[ it must be the end of the world. buffy is opting to write.

or more likely she's nervous about speaking and having jack hear her -- she doesn't know that he's not currently at the house. ]

How is he?

Desolate. I'm always having to hide the rum.

[ desolate. buffy has to stop and think on the word rather hard before responding. will jack ever believe her, she wonders? that she is so torn and burned and hurt by feeling unable to go to him right now. no. no, she shouldn't even believe herself.

because why isn't she there right now? ]

All of it?

I let him have enough to get nicely drunk.

Our boat's nearly done. I should be free to help, if you want.

We would be glad to have your help, Giles. This one's a bit bigger, I'm afraid.

Vacations and ship building? Quite the combination there, Archie.

Voice? Action? noprevaricating September 11 2011, 21:57:04 UTC

It isn't a vacation, Selphie, I'm...doing someone a favor.

Derp says Voice ^^;; boomchucka September 11 2011, 22:01:13 UTC

Everything okay?

Thanks! noprevaricating September 11 2011, 22:03:09 UTC

[A sigh.]

No, Selphie, everything is not. But it won't last.

All well there, Archie?

[Jovial enough... but there is real concern in the undertone.]

Well as it can be, at least, I mean.

[Despite having been shown once how to filter things... He doesn't get it, so he's careful about what he says. Private business and such.]

Good God, Horatio, I do not know how you did this in Ferrol. [He's sounding just a tad shaken.]

[voice - 50%] seventeensir September 11 2011, 22:39:09 UTC

The same way you are doing it, Archie-- because you know you have to. [It's gentle, soft.]

[voice - 50%] noprevaricating September 11 2011, 22:46:39 UTC

You did not have to. Somehow, you did, and I cannot...I do not think I was the one for this task, Horatio.

If I help build the rest of the ship, will you let me put in a winch for the Shell Bell?

[The plan for Smoker to confiscate the Joanna Joyce didn't really work out, leaving Smart Turtle still sad and shipless.]

[Voice] noprevaricating September 11 2011, 22:47:20 UTC

...I beg your pardon? [This is vaguely familiar, but so many things have been on his mind since they talked about this.]

[Voice] i_speak_softly September 11 2011, 22:55:44 UTC

[This is the same Mr. Kennedy, isn't it?]

I think we talked about boats and diving bells a few weeks ago. Or was that someone else?

[Voice] noprevaricating September 11 2011, 23:04:16 UTC

...I believe it was I, sir, but can you remind me what a diving bell is?
