Eight Bells: [Action/Written]

[simplestgift]

[Luceti, Jack Sparrow now has drapes. They are lovely drapes, made of something like spiderweb silk and dyed a nice, neutral, manlyish color. The furniture and silver are both polished. There is even a new rug on the living room floor. Everything looks very home-ish.

Jack's clothes, on the other hand, are strewn all over the place, and every drop of dairy is badly curdled. Missing is a pair of trousers and Jack's Jolly Roger t-shirt.

Archie Kennedy comes dashing into town from the Cullen House wearing a pair of trousers and a Jolly Roger t-shirt. He'll make his way as quickly as is possible to his own apartment to get dressed properly so no one will suspect he spent the week with Jack--least of all Jack. He can be run into at any point.

After all this is accomplished and he's eaten something at Seventh Heaven that does not include porridge, honey, or cream, he will sit down to write this note.]

May I speak with a tailor in this town?

A dullahan, yeah

[simplestgift]

Oh God, there's a name for...never mind. [Excuse him, he'll look faintly ill.] How is Mikado?

[generalflirt]

[Celty lives with him, he's getting used to it. But... okay, typing it and then holding it out:]

He wasn't hit by the experiment

[simplestgift]

That's good. I've not seen him in a while. In good health, is he?

[generalflirt]

Better than he could be, anyway he's fine

[Ignore some of the punctuation gaps here]

[simplestgift]

Good. And yourself? Aside from missing a head.

[It's pretty much an afterthought, once he realizes it's polite to ask.]

[generalflirt]

I had a broken leg from the draft, but it's better now

[At this he points at his leg. See, fine? He even kicks it a bit]

[simplestgift]

Good, good. Was it part of the so-called "shift incompatibilities" or did it happen in the fighting?

[generalflirt]

[There's a pause... and then he slowly types back]

part of the fighting

last day -- i messed up

[simplestgift]

[His eyes skim the PDA and he immediately goes into Officer Mode without thinking, speech becoming even and slightly clipped.]

Well. It happens to us all. You're lucky to be alive. Just make sure it doesn't happen again.

[generalflirt]

[Briefly, the shift surprises Masaomi, as does the last comment. "doesn't happen again" - well duh. But... still. Being told off like that, he's not sure if he resents it or appreciates it. He lowers the PDA, and then gives a thumbs up - a small, idle one, not very dramatic. IT's mostly in lieu of nodding, because you know, head]
