towerofanimus | [OPEN] Kangae sugi no MESSAGE

Characters: Jack Sparrow and YOU
Setting: Anywhere you feel like. BACKDATED TO THE 21ST
Format: Action, but I'll match you.
Summary: Just Jack trolling everyone ever with his mad Japanese skills. It's just like in them animes, guys.
Warnings: Long live the non sequitur. If your character speaks Japanese, feel free to catch him on his antics. If not, expect Jack to follow your character around, chattering up in a language they can't understand. Because he's bored, okay.

[Well, the way he sees it, there are two options here: sit down and complain - and hope anyone could understand the complaining - or take advantage of this.

There aren't many things to be considered advantageous in the tower as a whole, Jack has learned in his months here, but when it all fails, there's always the most basic advantage you can have in the face of adversity: be the guy laughing, not the one crying about it.

That's why he's strolling down the stairs cheerfully, waving at anyone he sees.]

Ahoy, mate, lovely day, ain't it?

Darling, darling, the only one like Captain Jack Sparrow is Captain Jack Sparrow.

[Have a dashing smile full of crooked teeth.]

But I suppose adventures in books are still adventures.

[Well, looked like he didn't get the reference at all. She'd have to slip him a copy of Peter Pan sometime then.]

Ah, I apologize. While you're probably unique in many ways, you reminded me of the main character out of a story. He was young, but he always loved adventures and fun, and would even change sides in battle just for the thrill of it. The girls liked him too, which was sad for them.

[Have a semi-nervous smile in return.]

Of course they are! After all, some adventures and places can only be experienced in stories! It's hard to imagine the plot of The Master and Margarita happening in real life, even though that would be interesting. However, as I said before, I wouldn't be opposed to being in an actual adventure.

He sounds like the most excellent kind of hero for a story. I bet he was a pirate.

[That was a compliment. Honest. Jack chuckles at that, entertained by her reaction.]

And what kind of adventure would you like to go, lass?

Actually, he fought and killed the pirates, along with the Indian tribe. However, he would sometimes change sides for the day and be a pirate or an Indian, and he always fought fair.

[Tohko grins and thinks for a moment, looking back on all of her favorite stories.]

Let's see..since we both ran into each other, we'll have to be the main characters. As for the adventure itself..it should be filled with a few swordfights, a betrayal, maybe a gunshot or three, a pair of lovers who get separated by death, revenge, and, of course, a happy ending! Since I love sweet stories, a bit of love should be stuck in there somewhere too.

However..since I need a small break from them, if chess games and orange and blue morality shouldn't pop up. I'm not quite sure how you'd start such a story though.

[Jack made a hmph noise at the killing pirates bit, but he supposed he would need to actually read the story to find out what kind of person this Pan brat really was. He listened to Tohko's description with a grin, amused by the flood of words. So many words! And none of them slurred, either. It was very impressive.]

Well, in my experience adventures tend to just land on you. Or you land on them. Or you mutually land on each other while running away from a mighty mad pack of soldiers. But I could tell you a few stories about adventures like that, if you want, while we wait.

[Because surely adventure will find them, sooner or later.]

[Tohko chuckles at the description. It sounded like Jack had quite a few run-ins with soldiers. But her grin got even wider when he mentioned telling her about his adventures. She felt a bit like Wendy..but hopefully he would be able to remember her name for ten minutes.]

If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to hear about your adventures! Although..would you mind if I copied them down? That way, I'd be able to ea-erm, read about them even when you're not here, or if you can't tell them to me for some reason!

[Jack gives her a look at that ~~which hides the small twitch at those small slips of hers~~ and ends up sighing very loudly.]

Well, I don't see what's the harm in it.

[And Tohko catches the sigh and scratches her head. It was an odd request, so she shouldn't have been surprised by this.]

Ah..I'm sorry. If you don't want me to, I won't. It' really up to you, since this is your past.

[Have an arm casually thrown around your shoulders, darling.]

Alas, my child, this is the day you'll remember Captain Jack Sparrow's generosity.

[Grandiose gestures? Of course there are grandiose gestures here.]

He, that is me, shall let you, that is you, write out his amazing memoirs.

[And have a semi-nervous smile in response. Tohko is used to grand gestures, being around Wilhelm and books, so it sounds alright to her.]

Ah, thank you very much! I know it's an odd request, but really, this will let me read about your adventures later..and if I make it home, I'll let people read about you too.

[Yes, a bit of bribery. After all, pirates do love fame as well as fortune.]

So..where does this amazing, wonderful memoir start?

It all starts where all good stories start.

[Jack arches an eyebrow at her.]

Finding pen and paper for you to write it.

[Tohko held up her notebook for Jack to see before flipping a couple of pages in it.]

I already have that taken care of, Captain. You sure you're feeling alright? I had that in my hand the whole time.

I know you did, lass, I was wondering if you thought that'd be enough.

[Cough. You and your modern inventions, that looks enough like a book to guess but not enough to not be something else. Ah well, with these modern types, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose the gamble. The point is not losing face. Much.]

Now then, where shall we begin?

Of course it'll be enough! I can write tiny enough to conserve paper and have people see it.

[Tohko smiled at the question, reminded of the King from Alice In Wonderland.]

Start at the beginning, then the middle, and then the end, of course.
