[A gentle purr followed by an irritated tut]

The ears are one thing, but trying to work with wood when my fingers are, in fact, claws, is really testing my patience. I have an overwhelming urge to scratch, and more than my fair share of - ow!- rather painful splinters to show for it. I'll need to patch up these boots at some point, since my toes ( Read more... )

I'm definitely used to rain falling from the sky, but objects? It isn't exactly comfortable.

Now I have a compass which actually works, which will be really useful if Jack and I ever get this vessel finished and there really is an ocean somewhere out there. If anyone's planning on journeying out of the city in the near future, I'd be happy to lend ( Read more... )

So that's how it feels to die. Knowing that I was going to return made it no less terrifying ( Read more... )

[Hurried footsteps can be heard, which come to an abrupt halt.]

Two alleys - but which one...?

[The running resumes, only to give way to silence. A faint growling in the distance grows gradually louder,  and Elizabeth's breathing quickens.]

Of course the one I take would be... a dead end.

[The sound of a sword being unsheathed]

I'm sorry, Jack.

Just... horrifying.

Will she remember how it happened? Being killed? It's just... unimaginable, especially for a child.

Considering that was the first sleepover of my life, it was actually very enjoyable. I hadn't realised how many high spirited girls there are here, and I'm glad I decided to go. Having my hair experimented with brought back quite a few memories of my father's maids preening me for public appearances. Now that I think about it, the maids were the ( Read more... )

Public gatherings in Port Royal tended to be either military processions or hangings. The 'cookout' was undoubtedly more enjoyable, even if I spent, oh, little over an hour there?

I am still having my eyes opened to the breadth of cultures within this place; the languages, attire, and now, the music and dancing. Rather interesting that two of the ( Read more... )

[A short gasp, followed by a clatter as Elizabeth drops the communicator. A short pause and scraping sound follow as she picks it up]

That hurt. Surely there's a less painful way to persuade us to use these things.

I now have my own boardings which are comfortable enough for what I need. Since it's finally stopped raining, I can actually get out and  ( Read more... )

Jack wasn't exaggerating when he told me that having my chip removed would make me ill. I felt completely vile - though I'm now very grateful that I've never suffered from seasickness. I wonder if those sky pirates ever feel 'airsick ( Read more... )

I'd still be under the impression that I was hallucinating, dreaming or even gone mad, except I accepted some time ago that the surreal is, oh, a part of daily life when pirates are involved. It doesn't surprise me in the least that Jack is here. I'm relieved, if anything.

Actually, I feared I was back in Davy Jones' Locker at first. I'd have ( Read more... )
