WTF??!!
y dis
OMFG nuuuu!

... Quaint.

I've no need, of course, for things such as parks and childish games.

What I do have a need of, while I'm on the matter of getting this blasted ship into some sort of passably decent shape, are people who've also a particular need themselves. I've already got a bit of assistance from a Miss Morgan Adams, and decent the working goes. However, now that I've decided to fix this blasted barge, I'd like to get it done quicker than winter comes.

Ah, you see? Those without suitable employ in this blasted place, those who'd wish to get a bit more shine, had best be paying attention.

I, Captain Hector Barbossa, am looking to hire a few workers in concern to the repair of my woefully degraded ship, The Black Swann.

Apply within.

Of all the damned things! Get off!

[Small crash, sound of something shattering.]

Of all the miserable nonsense...

Gloves! Leeloo! Have I any gloves?! Proper ones! The whole hand!

That'll get a quit to this.

[[ooc; Hector equals "holding fast." His assorted possessions are all sticking to him.]]

Without ends to justify, one's means would seem hardly a thing but frivolous. Wouldn't you agree, City? (Excluding, of course, all naive fools who'll lay sole importance on one's journey.)

So, my wonder, my item to ponder upon in light of this late and unfortunate pestilence... What'll be this apparent villain's ends?

Hm. It could only be perspective, aye? Maybe this culprit has no need to feel justified. Peculiar state of humanity.

I trust that those particular to my attentions are well.

An' here I figured it'd turn t'be a gentler month.

Jack, Jack... Soddin' good shot, y'lucky bastard.

I do believe my sentiments would only be similar to Mrs. Turner's own. Although... I do remember the differences that she's seemed to forget. I think it's... Charming, really, to see the lady so done up in frills again. It's almost silly when one remembers to consider her the elected king of all pirates.

Heh... However, I would guess my own state to be something of an oddity. Here I am aboard a ship, and with quarters that're none too organized and hardly cleanly.

Perhaps we should consider a proper apartment, Leeloo, assuming that your absense does not mean you're tired of and left this poor, old fellow that you've so charitably cared for.

And why, exactly... Do we possess such an abundance of apples?

You may have noticed that we've struck an iceburg. I'll ask those aboard not to panic, but we are taking on water in more compartments than can be sealed and keep the ship afloat. You'll find the crew a very capable lot of gentlemen, please calmly follow their instructions calmly.

Men! Uncover and swing out all life boats! Load them immediately with women and children first and launch as efficiently as possible!

Absolutely no time must be wasted! To those guests who may want to remain inside to the warmth of your rooms, I really must advise otherwise!

The go-ahead to launch distress flairs is granted. Begin radioing distress immediately, and keep at it.

Believe me when I say that I have near-on ages of experience when it comes to sailing and, indeed, I've never set eyes to a finer vessel than this. Everything said of her is true enough, luxery beyond compare and estimated unsinkable, safe and extremely comfortable.

I'm quite proud to see her maiden voyage through, myself. We've had to alter our course slightly southward, any of you may have heard, but I believe we'll make excellent time in spite of such a thing, trivalities with an otherwise calm sea and weather.

If anyone should have any curiousities, do feel free to ask. I consider myself an open man, and I, like many, do enjoy talking of my work from time to time. Who knows? Interest and charm may earn you a seat at my particular dinner table, if you've delight in whatever prestige that means.

[[ooc: Oh, Barbossa and his captain delusions...]]

Mercy'll be on me, but I figure it may be a mite possible that I've been far spoiled when it comes to baked goods as of late. Such things as these don't as if they'd truly be that appealing for my own tastes.

That being, I have accumulated a decent amount of the horrid sweets. Some of you lot have resorted to violence... Surely you wouldn't be out of the line of bargaining, which is my first preference when it'll come to such things.

[[ooc: Help Barby make a quick buck by bargaining for the treats he's collected? Help your peeps feel foolish in the morning? Give the old dude something to lol about? Call now~]]

Oh, wow... WOW! Amazin'! I'm... I'm onboard a really big ship! Full of... It's full of the most delightful things, curious junk and treasures alike! Mum'll never...

I've got to find mum! Or at least... Bring back something good for her. This could... Oh dear, but could this help us out a lot! A good and solid house, with each a bed...

I wonder, though... Who's all this belong to? I can't remember getting aboard here, and I don't remember this beach here...

It doesn't matter. I'll take it anyway. We need it. I'm sick of having to be the way we are.

Now... I'm sure there'll be a sack or something 'round here somewhere.
