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?

Are you saying you have not paid attention these last ten years?

[ 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!

[ TO BE FAIR THAT WOULD HAVE MADE HER 14.... she really should have thought this out... ]

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. ]

But she looks just like you! She is the spitting image!

[ 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......

She is with my brother. I thought she would be far safer with him than with myself.

[ Because her brother is such a nice man..... ]

But does it really matter? Do you deny she is yours?

Daxmore is a good man! He is just... misunderstood...

[ 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!

Now why ever would you say that? There is nothing wrong with diplomats.

Not all of them are bad, Sir Captain Snarkles. And we agreed that if we had any children, they would be diplomats, do you not remember?

[ Remember that conversation we had when you were drunk!? ]

Why would you say that about our poor little girl? Really, Snarkles... what has she ever done to make her a monster?
