[Davy is, at last, waking up in the infirmary after his tiff with Stephanie and Kevin. He's restrained to a bed, but his tentacled beard holds his communicator close as he narrows his eyes at the screen, hissing angrily]


Someone best be coming to let me up. Cast me in Zero if yeh like, but let me up to stretch these limbs-!

I didnae kill the whelp, nor his dog. Let me up.

[Private to the Admiral]

[Nothing. Davy doesn't give gifts. He doesn't like any of you]

It is your cell, Jones. Have you failed to grasp the whole meaning of 'prison?'

[He lumbers inside, turning around in it. As a relatively tall crustacean, a ten by ten room is exceedingly too small for him. His desk, his organ; everything is gone]

Do yeh think to keep me out of doors? There is no room for you here, Bush.

I shall be just outside. And from the beginning of the first watch till two bells in the second -- [midnight to six in the morning, for the landlubber] -- this door will be locked.

[This is incredibly disturbing...and yet oddly familiar. Jones closes the door, stepping back out into the hall]

And I am to be in my quarters during that time, I expect?

I'm surprised at yeh, Bush. Where are the shackles to accompany this sudden change of action?

[shakenandlimp]

You will be here, or you'll be brought here. And the shackles will be arranged if you make them necessary.

[tentacruelest]

Brought here by you?

[Jones turns, making the height difference between them all the more apparent]

Don't go putting on airs now, Captain. I can still kill yeh as easily as I did months ago.

[shakenandlimp]

All those months ago you had your full strength and a pistol ball meant nothing to you.

That isn't the case now. And you'll be easy to guard, if you're in the infirmary under the death toll.

[He is out of give, out of good humour; the playfulness that had sprung up between him and Jones is gone like fog burned away by the sun, and he is as much the unyielding man who refused to speak as his bone splintered now as he was then.]

[Interested despite himself, Jones grasps hold of the man's arm. When his intimidation tactics fail to work, he usually dissolves into bullying. That Bush won't kowtow to him is upsetting]

And you'll kill me, will yeh?

Re: Spam

[shakenandlimp]

Yes.

[With a disbelieving snort, Jones limps his way into his room - his very tiny room - and slams the door in Bush's face.

Even his mun doesn't know what he expects to do in there; there's no books, no music, nothing to entertain him in his solitude]
