1st Wave

[Down in the depths of Zero sits a sulking, furious squid creature, wrapping his tentacle-like hand around his communicator. Davy Jones has been looking it over for the past day, and is thus far unimpressed. A way to talk to the rest of the crew? What was the point? They had nothing worthwhile to discuss]


Pardon the intrusion of an old pirate captain, but I believe I've requested to see his grace the Admiral, if he so deigns to get his fat arse off the bridge and address my concerns.

Bah - you think a day's stay in the brig will ease th' way of our voyage together? You think your pathetic lot of untested boys, women and slaves is enough to keep Davy Jones at bay for long? You're more of a fool than I'd taken you for.

And the next bilge rat what comes down here prattling on about inmates and other worlds is the next I mark for death.

Riddick - I name ye. Dean Winchester - I name ye too.

Next time, I want the kraken.

[deshabille]

Make a request to the Admiral. Occasionally he even listens.

[tentacruelest]

I have made requests, all of which have gone unanswered and unacknowledged!

[deshabille]

I wasn't actually speaking to you.

[pvtparts]

Now, now, Corporal. The squidman has some very important thoughts. Wouldn't want to stifle them.

[deshabille]

Fair point. Free speech is the hallmark of any functional society.

[hohohoho]

[pvtparts]

Quite true.

[tentacruelest]

You were speaking to me or not at all! Do not presume to use my....object...to translate your conversations with another!

[deshabille]

I'll stop as soon as you name me. I feel incredibly left out.

[tentacruelest]

Tell me your name.

[deshabille]

Corporal Maladicta. Or Mal. Whatever you like.

[tentacruelest]

Mal.

As per your request, I name ye.

[pvtparts]

Now that that's out of the way.

Might I ask what the criteria are for being named?

[pvtparts]

You did give him your name already, right?

[deshabille]

It never came up.

[pvtparts]

To be fair to our disappointing squidman, I don't think he's able to read minds.

[pvtparts]

Perhaps our disappointing squid friend will learn a lesson in diplomacy as a consequence.

[deshabille]

Or at least a lesson in how to behave in polite society. I'd imagine krakens are relatively well-behaved when they're not eating ships.

[pvtparts]

I can't say I've ever met a rude kraken before.

[deshabille]

Never in my life. Courtesy is one of a kraken's finest qualities. That and the tentacles.

[pvtparts]

And impressive beaks. Perhaps that's why the squidman feels the need to yell so much.

An inadequate beak.

[deshabille]

He should supplement it in some way.

[pvtparts]

I'm not that well-read on sea-dwelling creatures to know of a good supplement.

[tentacruelest]

[Suddenly, instead of looking angry, Jones has that heartbroken, aching look about him. He answers quietly;]

Silence. The both of yeh.

[deshabille]

[Well, this is interesting. Mal cants her head.]

That was almost a polite request.
