Three Bells: [WRITTEN] - New Horizons in Lit Appreciation

They have everything Shakespeare ever wrote in the library. Everything! It's a fountain of gold. I could spend days here. I'd sleep here if they'd let me. I don't think I've ever been happier. And there's no theatre group here? None? Do people here not realize what they have? What kind of a world is this?

In case anyone asks, I'll be in the library for the rest of my life.

[Or really just the rest of the day. At some point he'll have to come up for air and grab something to eat at the 7th Heaven, where he'll be buried in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. It'll be dark before he goes home, carrying only a single book.]

[There's an impatient sigh and Archie snaps his book shut. He then goes back to his reading, trying to revive his previous good mood.]

[Jack will just keep going.]

You've turned against me. My best mate.

I haven't turned against anyone. You're both being damn idiots -- what do you need to duel for?

His second. You've...I understand, now. I'm a fool, McCoy. I never saw it.

What're you talking about?

You were never my best mate. Never really wanted to be.

[IT TOOK YOU THIS LONG TO FIGURE THIS OUT JACK.]

Oh, what clued you in? Was it the 'we're not friends' or something else?

I'll let you alone, then.

Oh, really? Are you going to send more people to keep tabs on me while you're at it? I need to know how much coffee I'm going to have to make.

I didn't.....what are you talking about?

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

[Sparrow honestly doesn't know, McCoy. Anything Kennedy did, he did on his own.]

That daft boy's involved in this somehow, isn't he.

It's got nothing to do with him, Sparrow. Although I did hear you accosted him for a muffin. Fierce pirate you're making, you know. What's next? Going to pilfer kittens from Elicia?

I might if it sets her on the path to PROPER piracy, aye! [There's JUST the niggling edge of something Elicia did to them both in a dream...he thinks.] And Kennedy were bein' right smug about his muffin.

If you corrupt her, I'll kick your ass myself. [ and... he means that, he truly does. he missing Joanna something fierce today. ] Stop taunting the New Feathers, damn it. I thought you weren't even coming back to the village, anyway.

[Something about that threat makes Jack rather hopeful; it...the McCoy who was his Best Mate threatened him like that a lot.]

Had to come back for supplies, didn't I? Don't want to starve out there. I only asked Kennedy whether he knew you were alright.

Of course I'm alright. I'm a doctor, I know how to take careful of myself.

And you took care of his injury, as well? I don't know what he told you, Bonesy--but he were enjoying that fight.

Just because someone's looking for a fight, it doesn't mean you oblige, Sparrow.

Well perhaps I was looking for a fight, too, McCoy! [And there HAD been something supremely satisfying about besting the whelp in that duel.]

Great. How many more people am I going to have to patch up?

........It's been far too long since we've lifted a glass together, McCoy. [Trollishly changing the subject, Jack. McCoy has made this Child of the Universe feel guilty.]

... Yeah, it has. [ phrased in such a way that he probably meant to add and whose fault is that? to the statement. you have sort of ruined his birthday. ]

When I'm next back-------drinks, eh? Buffy's not angry anymore. I can go to the pub.

[The pirate doesn't even KNOW it's your birthday, Bonesy. If he did? He would be feeding you shots. Right. Now.]

Like I have a choice. You'll show up regardless of what I say... so fine, whatever.
