[This week on the Barge, an older, somewhat new face is lurking about, obsessively checking a fob watch chained to his pocket and walking awkwardly through the halls. Those who were here in October during the mirror Barge may recognize the man as a disguised Davy Jones, struggling to grow comfortable in his human skin. He still limps carefully, but seems to be enjoying his relative anonymity]


[Private to Sylvanas; Voice]

D'yeh have a moment to spare for an old sailor, m'lady?

Oh.

[ What a twist. ]

I thought you were just. You know. Like that.

I'm going to have to come up with a new nickname for you.

[tentacruelest]

I am like that. But I was human before it. What part o' "cursed" is causing yeh confusion?

Leave me out of it.

[ichoosefight]

I think it's the part where you're human. I thought you were like, a merman, but without the tail.

[tentacruelest]

Not hardly. Mermen are rarer, prettier. I was born human. Only through mistake did I turn into what yeh've seen before.

[ichoosefight]

What the heck did you do that warranted crab hands?

[ That seems a little extreme, she thinks. ]

[tentacruelest]

It's a long story. One I don't like sharing with those who don't call me by my given name.

[ichoosefight]

Not that there's anything inherently wrong with crab hands. [ She makes crab hand motions with both hands. ] It just seems like a big inconvenience, if you weren't born with them.

[ Yeah she's not going to start calling him by his real name just to get the story. That's no fun at all. ]

[Steph's immaturity only seals the deal with Jones: in no way does he want to talk about his life with this girl. Glaring, he nudges aside and starts to turn away]

I haven't had enough to drink to put up with yer nonsense today, girl.

[ichoosefight]

People rarely have.

[ She is utterly shameless. But now she knows what he looks like, and she's reasonably confident he won't be changing again. ]

[tentacruelest]

You're not as clever or amusing as yeh seem to think you are. Stay clear of me, Brown.

[ichoosefight]

Aye aye, Captain Humorless.

[ Oh look! A new nickname. She gives him a mock salute before turning to be on her way.

In the opposite of the way she was going before. She's forgotten what she was doing. ]

[Giving Steph a narrowed look, Davy is off again, in the opposite direction. Anything to get him away from teenage girls]
