Seven Bells: [ACTION/WRITTEN] Hat Day.

[simplestgift]

[Citizens of Luceti may see Archie Kennedy wandering around with a new hat today. It looks a little like something a magician would pull a rabbit out of, but he seems to be enjoying it. He'll be around town today--the library and grocery store during the day, and Good Spirits in the evening. In the afternoon, he'll sit at the fountain to pen a few words.]

I believe morale might improve if we had some sort of goodbye ceremony for those who were returned home. Not a funeral, mind you, just an occasion to remember them, celebrate their return, and hope to join them soon. Perhaps once a month or so, for everyone who left during the month. It's the little things that help one cope, sometimes.

Also, who left a note under my door? I'm afraid I can't read it, or indeed tell if it was even meant for me. I live in Building One, in the first flat on the first floor.

I'll put it this way, Mr. Sparrow: deities have the uncanny tendency to play practical jokes on me. I don't need more of that, thank you.

[all7seas]

I assure you Kennedy, all of Tia's jokes are highly impractical. It shall be a refreshing experience for you.

[simplestgift]

It never does to tempt fate.

[all7seas]

What about entertaining a very tempting fate, hmm? She's rather beautiful, you know, in a macabre fashion.

[simplestgift]

...You know, I think Dawn might take objection to that.

[all7seas]

Ah. Dawn. Aye. Not only would she object, but she'd probably throw a punch.

[simplestgift]

I wouldn't want that. I've seen her in a fight.

[all7seas]

And I'm just extrapolatoring on account of what I know her sister can do, and perhaps lessening the impact slightly. Still not good, though.

Were you together in the draft?

[simplestgift]

For a few hours. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of a Summers.

[all7seas]

You don't. I've been there. I'll likely be there again. Sort of inevitable, really.

[simplestgift]

Well, hopefully I can delay it for as long as possible.

[all7seas]

You remember the first rule, do you not?

[simplestgift]

Buffy always finds out?

[all7seas]

Good lad. You've not forgotten.

[simplestgift]

I don't think I ever shall. [He orders a glass of brandy.] I've had a thought, Captain Jack. Dawn likes the gowns of our time.

[all7seas]

Don't even consider it, Kennedy. They wouldn't look nice on you at all, mate. Find some other way of impressin' her.

[simplestgift]

I meant for her to wear, Jack.

[all7seas]

Ah. I'm not following. Unless I am and you wish to dress her up in a lovely gown?

[simplestgift]

Then you do follow.

[all7seas]

What's the occasion for it? Party? Dinner? Dinner party?

[simplestgift]

I don't know. I only wanted to make her happy.

[all7seas]

Kennedy. Proud of you, mate, and your giving and selfless nature. Very proud indeed.

[simplestgift]

[all7seas]

He won't be flattered OR complimented, it would seem.

[simplestgift]

I just wouldn't think it very pirate-like.
