[Right now he's got his feet kicked up on a stack of all the various books he could find where he was in them. Collections of fairy tales, fables, and more colorful adaptions - all of them. The other day he raided the library and took all of them home. If people want to go off and read about him, they'll have to talk to the real thing first. After ( Read more... )

[ buffy is going on an expedition tonight and expeditions need supplies -- especially because she can probably count on jack sparrow to have none of the things two young women need in a dream vacation spot. things like conditioner or lip balm or spare pillows.

but someone is blocking her route to the pillows. huff. so, with a hand on one hip: ] 'Scuse me. I kinda need to get by.

[Oh, he recognizes that voice. He shifts to the side, resting his arm on a shelf. One sadly out of reach for you Buffy. He doesn't quite move out of the way.]

Can't go around?

What I want is right there. [ and she makes the mistake of pointing directly at jack horner.

quick! clarify! ] Right behind you, I mean. Those pillows. I need one. Or, uhm, some. Some is better than one. They -- look, could you just pass me one? Some.

[ action ] originaljackass January 19 2011, 04:30:30 UTC

Are we already having pillow talk? [He reaches back and grabs one and then another.] I usually don't move this fast.

Well if it isn't the far inferior Jack, what I had a bit of rum off of the other day. What do you need filters for, mate? No secrets in this place, in the end.

[voice] originaljackass January 19 2011, 04:29:12 UTC

[Oh, this is another Jack? Well then...]

So, you're a cheap imitation of the real thing? I've had better. Way better.

[voice] lists_to_port January 19 2011, 04:32:56 UTC

You've had.......I like the WENCHES, mate. And Sparrow's the only Sparrow, and isn't an imitation neither!

Don't beat yourself up, kid. I've had a lot of people named after me. You're definitely not the worst of them.

[ This post pings Helios, pings him so hard. ]

Of course all them are true! It's just that most people don't tend to believe in them. [ A light chuckle before clearing his throat. ] Ah, but I believe it depends on the world really. Jack of Tales is it? I'm afraid I haven't heard of you though.

[ Doesn't ring any bells to him, at least not at the moment. There are a lot of tales with Jack out there. ]

[voice] originaljackass January 19 2011, 04:49:32 UTC

[All of those tales are about him!]

Really? You're from Earth, right? Europe, America, all those good places?

[voice] folkloristic January 19 2011, 05:04:03 UTC

[ Oh right. Well then he's definately heard of you. ]

Yes that's correct! Romania to be more specific.

Little Jack Horner. Jack and Jill. Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack the Giant Slayer. Jack Frost. Jack of the Lantern. Getting the picture?

Of the Tales? Do you mean folktales? [Those are the only ones she can think of that use the name 'Jack']

originaljackass January 19 2011, 05:10:00 UTC

Got it in one.

kakeravoyager January 19 2011, 05:18:14 UTC

So you come from stories such as "Jack and the Beanstalk" and "Jack and Jill"? I must say I'm impressed to see such a famous person here.

originaljackass January 19 2011, 05:22:54 UTC

I'll be impressed if they keep me here much longer.

[Kennedy, like any good bachelor, is getting both dinner and the equipment to make it with at the same time. Tonight it's apparently steak. In a frying pan. And there are some oranges. While picking out the frying pan, he catches one Jack Horner out of the corner of his eye. It slips out before he can even think.]

Oh hell.

originaljackass January 19 2011, 05:11:15 UTC

Kennedy! [He's spotted you. Unlike the last time you saw him, he's dressed sharply and clean shaven. Quite a change from last time.]

Haven't seen you around. You been avoiding me?

noprevaricating January 19 2011, 05:12:56 UTC

Like a leper. [He's not apologetic about this.] Keeping up your image, I see.

originaljackass January 19 2011, 05:14:28 UTC

No reason not to. [He suspected as much that Archie had taken to avoiding him, after their previous encounter.] I take it you've decided to pass.
