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.

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.

[all7seas]

Ah. You've a long way to becoming a pirate, and no mistake. The way you treat this girl of yours, now...

[simplestgift]

Yes?

[all7seas]

Uncommonly thoughtful and kind and loving toward her, aren't you?

[simplestgift]

[What to say to that? He knows this isn't how it is for everyone, but still.] I like her very much and want her to be happy, Jack.

[all7seas]

Not going off, wooing other ladies while her back is turned.

[Jack isn't really trying to make a point. He is just thinking these things through for himself.]

[simplestgift]

No. Because she doesn't deserve that. And I'd have to agree to become a sort of man I don't like if I were to do it.

[all7seas]

Ah. Interesting. Courtship, and all. How it works.

[simplestgift]

It's...it's not about courtship, it's about her. I'd like to be good to her, is all.

[Courtship does have some really weird rules, but monogamy isn't necessarily one of them. At least, not when you're a sailor.]

[all7seas]

Aye....about her. Goodness.

[simplestgift]

What?

[all7seas]

Hm? What? Sorry. Nothing, mate.

[simplestgift]

Jack Sparrow, are you thinking?
