[LOOK A GIANT TURTLE.]

[He, or it, or whatever, is carrying a bag of groceries and generally being quite normal, aside from the whole huge bipedal reptile thing. When he hears the enthusiastic comment, he glances over at the two men and smiles.]

((Don has been told to look for someone named Horatio Hornblower; if he were to learn the identity of Aubrey's companion it would be most convenient.))

[Jack was busy peering into a window when he saw the reflection of something very green and large. And he didn't turn around for fear that it might be real. Instead he spoke to Hornblower as mutely as he could get away with.]

'pon my word, Hornblower. I fear I may be growing mad.

Wh--

[Hornblower turned his head... and stared. He'd seen some strange things. Monsters, even, during the battle at sea in the last draft. But here in the confines of the town, he'd never seen...]

I think, sir, we see the same thing...

[Don can't hear what the men are saying, but he can guess the gist of it. He pauses, shifting the bag of groceries to one arm.]

Hello.

[....It spoke.

The giant, walking, turtle could talk.

Jack turned and stood straight, regarding the...turtle. He pondered on it for a moment before nodding his head curtly. The turtle was polite. He could do the same.]

....Good day.

Sir.

[Hornblower politely bowed his head, seeming about as unsettled as his companion. But. Well. If a talking turtle could be polite... so could he.]

[What is it with people calling him 'sir' lately?]

[He glances at the window behind the two men.]

Were you looking for something?

[Crap. Now it was asking questions.

Well. Best to keep up the appearance that he wasn't unnerved. Who knew what would happen to him if he showed it?]

Ah -- Captain Hornblower here is being generous enough to show me about and see if we can't get me some new clothes to throw on me.

[Because what he was wearing was waaaaaaay too small.]

Captain Aubrey has just arrived. [He's trying to process this. "Continue normal conversation" seems like the best bet.] So we are hoping to come across his things.

[Action] i_speak_softly September 16 2011, 00:23:28 UTC

[Ah. He had been wondering whether your clothes were supposed to look like that.]

[But wait. He has heard this name very recently.]

Captain Hornblower? Of the new ship?
