Who: Jack Sparrow and ANYONE
Broadcast: Fleetwide - Unfiltered
Action: Cargo Bay of the Bishop
When: Soon after appearing on the ship in a shower of brilliant confetti and chocolate
[The pirate's got the general idea of things after the rather sterile initiation aboard the Marsiva with all of the Metal Men serving him plates of mushy foodstuffs. All told, it hadn't been unlike the time he'd disguised himself as a eunuch to infiltrate the Moroccan sultan's choicest harem, but ended up assigned to polish the sultan's prized marble gazing ball collection instead. You were low eunuch on the totem, you didn't guard virgins; you rubbed balls day and night until they gleamed like a thousand dying suns.
But you can't let that get you down. You find a way to profit.
Which brings us back to the Metal Men aboard the Marsiva. Jack's first taste of futuristic robotics, they were rather like eunuchs, but were hard and shiny, like marble gazing balls. There were no virgins anywhere to behold. That was where all the similarities between the Marsiva and the sultan's palace stopped.]
Just like rubbing the sultan's damnable balls again. [Alert listeners will hear him mutter that whilst musing over his adventures and trying to figure out use of the coms.
[The Bishop, though, had possibilities. Its cargo hold was empty save for a bicycle that didn't move and moving pathway to nowhere, but it had plenty of smuggling potential. Maybe, too, a place to hide the rum.
Later, louder, with video:] Captain Jack Sparrow, here, aboard the bloody metal box, Bishop.
[He doesn't care that Cersei is the "official" captain.]
I've got a keg of ale and a lovely bottle of rum [no he doesn't] to give to the gentleman -- or lady -- [no, he won't] what knows the prime trade routes in this quadrant of the universe. Savvy?

I wish I could tell you what you would like to know, but I am still fairly new myself, Captain. But what I can inform you is that an entity called the Atroma brought you here... along with the rest of us.
[ video ]
You are, are you? It did, did it? And all for ratings.
[This in itself isn't surprising to him. People did things for the 18th century equivalent of ratings back home all the time. Himself one of them.]
What's your name, darling?
[ video ]
[ He's certainly charismatic. She offers him a polite bow and a small smile. ]
My name is Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, it is a pleasure to meet you. Forgive me for not having more information for you, however. This place is... strange, at best.
[ video ]
Pleasure's mine, darling. And there's nothing to forgive. Though I suppose if we made a big show of it, we'd get some ratings...
[ video ]
Ratings and money, as it were. But I still don't quite believe it. I feel like perhaps we are here for alternative motives, such as the upkeep and maintenance of the ships. There are some things even stranger than that, in my opinion. I've noticed that this place seems to beckon even the dead here.
[ video ]
[He doesn't want to talk about the dead. Please don't make him talk about the dead.]
So let's earn some. Ratings, I mean.
[He'll DEFINITELY need that money once they make port again.]
[ video ]
[ Come now, are the dead really such a bad thing? Not all of them are zombies.... ]
Very well, but I must admit that I am a little unsure as to what the people enjoy watching. Rather, what they would consider... entertaining. Perhaps we are being entertaining enough as we are?
[ She can only hope but even she knows nothing is that easy. She's pretty sure she's made a few extra bucks just by arguing with Ardyn every single time he opens his mouth... ]
Do you have anything in mind, Captain?
[ video ]
[ video ]
[ Luna considers, before she hums and taps a finger against her own cheek. ]
I can work with that. But if we are to act out lines, we will need to find something good. Something tells me our literary subjects and plays from our respective homeworlds may be different, so perhaps we will have to make something up as we go?
[ video ]
I mean......
LETITIA!
[Surprise you have a new name.]
You've broken my heart, darling. It's broken. One thousand pieces!
[ video ]
Luna somehow manages to keep a straight face. Somehow. ]
Forgive me, Sir Snarkles. But it has come to my attention that you have not exactly been faithful to me, and so I must end our rather torrid affair. If my husband found out, he would kill you.
[ If she has to be Letitia, you are stuck being Sir Snarkles. This is how this works. ]
[ video ]
[Have to make that clear.]
How torrid? Was our affair?
[Time for some exposition! Tune in, audience!]
[ video ]
[ She folds her arms over her chest, closing her eyes in thought. ]
Very torrid. After all, you are the rogue Sir Captain Snarkles. You went out of your way to woo me away from my husband, Mr... Kenny Crow.
[ ...She almost cringes at that stupid name because of the stupid crow mascot at home, but it was the first thing she thought of that wasn't her actual future husband's name okay. ]
[ video ]
Oh God, you're married?!
LETITIA! You never told me, woman!
[ video ]
[ Wow, Snarkles. She can't believe you haven't noticed in these imaginary ten years. ]
I assumed that you knew the day I threw my wedding ring off and announced unto the world that I was leaving him for you!
[ video ]
I paid attention! Was just drunk, probably! And then there was the coma...
[Remember that coma during which you wept over his still form?]
[ video ]
Drunk!? But you promised you would stop drinking. Was it all a lie?
...Ah yes, the time you were comatose for three years. I thought I was going to lose you. But when you woke up, you finally got to meet the baby.
[ You know, the baby that mysteriously isn't present. ]
[ video ]
[HOLD PLEASE FOR IMPRESSIVE DRAMATIC PAUSE.]
Never knew she were MY baby! Thought she were just A baby. TELL A MAN, why don't you?!
[ video ]
[ WOW. This really IS just like one of those lame soap operas she's seen floating around on the televisions here. They're doing a good job! She thinks! ]
I even named her after you. Snarklette! I cannot believe that after all this time, you did not put two and two together......
[ video ]
Where is she now?!
[ video ]
[ Because her brother is such a nice man..... ]
But does it really matter? Do you deny she is yours?
[ video ]
[Are you MAD, woman?!]
I don't deny she is mine. Never! But I've got to go about teaching her to be a proper pirate, now, don't I? And you've left her with Daxmore. DAXMORE.
[ video ]
[ No!! She had the best intentions!! ]
But becoming a pirate at such a young age would be far too dangerous! Which is why she is with Daxmore... don't you see? I was trying to keep her safe from the world! Besides, she has a destiny!
