Bring me yer dead and dying, Admiral. I should like to laugh in Sparrow's face one last time before surrendering to your eternal hell.


...He is dead, is he not?

Would it matter if he was? Nobody stays dead these days.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

I should like to have the chance to kill him once more. For old times' sake.

Re: Big Steph

[ichoosefight]

So wait, you want to kill this guy a second time, and then... sit around the barge for the rest of eternity?

That sounds like a terrible plan, and I know a thing or two about terrible plans.

Re: Big Steph

[tentacruelest]

It ain't a plan, brat. It's wish fulfillment. And I don't care to take the opinion of one whom I owe a sound thrashing.

Yikes, talk about touchy. Lucky for me I'm whole dimensions away. [ You can't touch her, nyah nyah. ]

Hey, wait a sec, I don't think I ever actually did anything to piss you off.

[madeofplants]

I am... no Admiral.

[ The voice coming from what appears to be a bush with a face is slow and laborous - the voice of a tree, almost. ]

[Jones narrows his eyes suspiciously; being of the sea, he's naturally wary of plant life]

And what sort of creature d'yeh call yourself?

[madeofplants]

[ He could mess you up just by sitting under you, bro. ]

I am called.... Swamp Thing. [ That's what they tell him, anyway. ]

[tentacruelest]

[He really, really could. ;-;]

Descriptive enough. I've not seen my fair share of swamps but yeh'd be the spitting image of one.

[madeofplants]

As you.... are the spitting image... of a man... and an octopus. I have... never seen... such a creature.

[Have a young woman with glowing blue markings all over her skin.]

I don't know who "he" is, but I'm certainly not dead, sir.

[tentacruelest]

Then you've no business talking to me, girl. My charge is only for those what died at sea.

[made_a_wish]

You asked for me, sir. Distinctly. Said my name and everything.

[tentacruelest]

I spoke the name Sparrow and no other.

[made_a_wish]

My name is Sparrow.

[gorefiend]

Why the interest in the dead?

[tentacruelest]

It being my duty to ferry the dead from this life to another, it's only right I should see them first.

[gorefiend]

You're a little late, then. I am dead three times over and this is the first I've seen of your... unique face.

[tentacruelest]

Undoubtedly. Did yeh die on the sea?

[gorefiend]

In battle and by cowardly assassination. But always on land.

[this_corrosion]

...You sound familiar. Have you threatened me before?

[tentacruelest]

Can't say as I've had. Your face is new t'me.

[this_corrosion]

I did used to be cuter.

[tentacruelest]

Did yeh have a habit of dying, boy?

[this_corrosion]

Been trying to put that off, actually. Not that people haven't tried. People. Robots. Robots that look like people.
