Well, I wasn't quite expecting that.

I'm wholly confused, I've a certain feeling that I'm not in the Carribean anymore. Actually, this seems quite like England, judging by weather.

In any case, I'm Bill Turner, and apparently I've become a curator at the museum of naval history in London...?

	Small island just north of Haiti. Traveled all over, really, but that's where our ship makes berth more often than not, so to speak. And yourself? And I don't think you've told me your name. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Miniver Cheevy, originally from New York, but... I travel a lot and kinda live all over. Hey, now of England! Sweet. Don't think I've ever been to Haiti. So you're what, a sailor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You could say that, aye. I'm more of a businessman in the trade of inexplicable, dubious goods from hither and yon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, so a pirate. Gorgeous. Arguably a more marketable skill than musician-slash-snake-keeper, heh. Unless you suck. Or get caught or die. Which is the same thing. That's not so marketable. Maybe in the right circles, but still... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've made a good living at it for a long enough time to consider myself halfway decent at it. There've been a few close calls but nothing I haven't managed to escape.

I could tell you stories you'd love, if not wholly believe. Why, there's the time I met Lady Luck herself...

Musician, you say? Now that's a good career if you've got that sort of talent. I'm all thumbs when it comes to any instrument, I have about as much musical skill as a particularly out of tune fire alarm.

	...and you know, now I've thought about it, sucking can indeed be a highly marketable skill... in the right circles... But I digress. Did you really meet the REAL Lady Luck? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deusexvampira 2008-02-29 04:10 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, and I have quite a few ladies in those circles that don't mind sucking at all, in any respect. The real one, aye. I'm actually working on setting up my journal to tell my story of all things, since I'm fairly certain the people that I know won't know me. I'll include that one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That'd be cool, man. Hey, yeah, watch out for people you know but don't know you or something. I saw my husband wandering around yesterday, only he's like 20 years younger or something. It's totally cute. NO idea who I am, hee! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deusexvampira 2008-02-29 04:19 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, that's got to be quite an experience. Though twenty years here or there... You know, if he were physically twenty years younger, that'd be different. And apparently I'm far younger looking than my son's wife recalls me, so I'm not surprised really. Frankly, age is a joke, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miniver 2008-02-29 04:26 pm UTC (link)
	I dunno, is it? I guess. I mean. It's a good day when someone asks me how old I am and I get it right the first time. Sometimes I thinkI've managed to grow down since I hit my mid-20's. I don't regret a second of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You mean you've gotten shorter? I've heard that happens to people when they hunch over things for too long. Guitars and paperwork, mostly. I've lost count, I just pretend to be thirty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miniver 2008-02-29 04:39 pm UTC (link)
	Ehh... no, I think I got dumber, though. Wish everyone ELSE would get shorter... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If it makes you feel any better, it was rare for any of my contemporaries to be six feet tall. I'm not even that tall. And I'm the tallest still-living midshipman I know. ... Mind you, the rest died before the 1750s. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miniver 2008-02-29 04:48 pm UTC (link)
	Not even six... heh... I'm barely half way there from five. Nyeah! What'd they all go and do something like die for all the way back then? They totally missed the best bits of the Victorian times! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deusexvampira 2008-02-29 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	Well, it's not their fault they got hanged. Wait, no, some of them it was. The others just managed to get caught. And some just died because they die sometimes. That's what old people do. But the Victorian times were LOVELY! Far too many flouncy clothes, everyone looked like a nonce. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

.......I love hats.

Oh man the ones they had back then were so fun, too! Top-hats, hee! I love those. They ook really stupid on me but whatever, they're cool. And those like floppy ones. I have a bunch of those. Used to. Don't wear 'em so much anymore cuz ummm... I have really big hair and it just looks weird or something.

Dude, hats rock, though.

I thought pirates were almost required to wear hats?

	... What in the world gave you that idea? Just because certain captains had predispositions to hats, it makes us all required? I wore a kerchief if anything at all. Yes, hats kept the sun off, but that's for those who burned easily, I tan. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh. K! Never been much for pirating myself. Uhh. Hey, cool, I think I just let my mind go in eight directions at once. I could use a drink. Wanna go raid a pub? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deusexvampira 2008-02-29 05:24 pm UTC (link)
	Only if we raid as a party and not just a pair. Power in numbers, aye? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anne Bonney, perhaps a couple of young thieves? Feel like a proper pirate breakfast in Florida, perhaps a tour of Anne's Museum? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	miniver 2008-02-29 06:00 pm UTC (link)
	Dude, I dunno how you propose to get from here to Florida that quick, but sure. Do they mind snakes? I dunno if I wanna leave my little onealone here... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	deusexvampira 2008-02-29 06:07 pm UTC (link)
	[link] says there's some things called portkeys which are basically portals from here in London to anywhere. S'pretty convenient. As far as I know, Petit likes reptiles, and Anne's never shown an aversion to them. The boy-thief, I'm not so sure. What the hell, bring him along. I don't mind them, so long as they're not on me.
