Thirty-Six Bells: [Written/Action]

[Written:]

In light of my new duties as first lieutenant of the LES Britannia, impending matrimony, and being bloody terrible at running a foodhouse, I shall soon retire as the owner of Cloud Nine. I'd like to continue to work a few shifts, of course, but the club will need new management. Which brave soul will shoulder the task?

-A. Kennedy

[Action only: He is enjoying the last night of the voyage, simply meditating upon the lovely roll of the ship beneath him. It's chilly out, and he can see his breath, but he doesn't mind, wrapped up tightly in his heavy wool greatcoat. Softly he sings a song swallowed by the night, evidenced mainly by the mist of it in the air around his lips.]

The maiden, oh, the maiden oh.
The sailor loves the maiden, oh!
So early in the morning,
The sailor loves the maiden, oh!
A maid that is young,
A maid that is fair,
A maid that is kind and pleasant, oh,
So early in the morning,
The sailor loves the maiden, oh!

[If William Turner shows up, Archie will just have to put himself into a coma until he's gone again. No, actually, Elizabeth can handle a situation like that. Archie will just have to keep his head down until he gets the all-clear.]

This has happened to you a good many times, Jack. Has Buffy once betrayed your trust?

Guess we've different ideas of loyalty. Maybe that's it.

Perhaps we don't. Perhaps she's loyal to many, in different ways. Just because she loves you doesn't mean she'll abandon a friend.

[That is all true. He can argue against none of it.]

Right: picture someone you despise. Now picture Elizabeth allowing him to live with you.

Does that help at all?

[But who? Lieutenant Buckland? Randall? Randall, most likely.]

Well, if he is a friend of hers...

Mmhmmm. You'd have no problem at all with it, then. I see.

That isn't it at all. But I'd be able to trust there's something she sees in him.

Sorry.

Used to bein' the captain, me. And I don't keep sorts like that on board.

What does he do?

Told you already! Annoying bastard, mostly! And he's.....

He's hung up on her. Still. In love with her, or something. [That much was easy to see.] Calls me "toothbrush guy" and "new boy."

...Well. If it's any consolation, I'd tell him to leave, too.

It is, rather. Leastaways I know I'm not......mad. Where that's concerned.

No, you're not.
