14 tightropes walked - accidental video/action

[freckleddoll]

Beast...Joker!?

[Doll is making her way through the crowds, being pushed and shoved around easily considering her small stature.]

Are any of you 'ere? [jostled again] 'scuse me.

Dagger? Jumbo?! [craning her neck, trying to see over the other people as she continues calling out her siblings' names in the hopes at least one of them will be there and hear her. She looks pretty tired, considering she spent much of the previous day looking for them as well]

If only I could see t'least one of 'em for a few minutes, t'know they're alright. [spoken to herself, low but not low enough for the device she doesn't know is recording not to capture it.]


((ooc: open for fourth walling! Network or action (just...don't hurt her |D). Anything goes, just no spoiling her past the point she's from i.e. chapter 28.))

Oh...well, the circus 'ere ain't the same as at 'ome, but you're welcome t'come an' see us anyway! S'great bein' part of the show.

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

I would very much like to see that... but I am afraid it will not be possible. I believe my time here is, ah, rather limited.

[freckleddoll]

Yeah...forgot that for a moment. Well, if you're ever 'ere again, the invitation's still open!

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

I shall keep it in mind! I believe I have already been here before, but it is rather difficult keeping track when it only lasts for a day... I bounce between quite a lot of places after all, hard to keep all these islands and cities and prison camps and mental hospitals and the places where the ground consists of flesheating tendrilbeasts and the sky glows with the lethal rays of a black sun searing the skin of those unfortunate enough to wander 'neath it... although that one place was rather distinctive...

[freckleddoll]

Blimey, don' you get tired of all that? An' those places don' sound all that great either.

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

Having been away from home for years wears somewhat on the spirit, I admit that... but I am seldom bored in these places, not when there are so many new friends to make and care for.

Besides, as a pirate my home is where my crew is. And much of my crew is with me in the place I currently stay in.

[freckleddoll]

'm glad t'hear that. S'always easier when you've got the people you care about with ya!

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

That it is~ That it is...

... My lady, you said earlier that most of your family was here today... ah, may I ask, in that case, if any of them are here with you or just temporary visitors like myself?

[freckleddoll]

No...they were just 'ere for the day. My sis was 'ere with me for a while but she went back 'ome. Don' think any of 'em are stayin'.

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

... My condolences.

[freckleddoll]

S'alright...I mean, I know I'll see 'em again when I get back. An' I'm gettin' by 'ere for now. Even if I hate not being with 'em. We ain't been apart since I was still really little.

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

Knowing that someone is waiting for you is the greatest comfort a human being can ever know, lady Doll. Take it from someone who has kept a friend of his waiting for a... very long time, now. No matter how bad it gets, and no matter how much it hurts not being with them... it will all be worth it when you reunite once more.

[freckleddoll]

Thanks, Brook. I mean...I know that, really, but s'good t'have someone else say it too. Helps me remember.

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

Always a good thing to keep a steady course~ both on a ship, and in here...

[He pauses momentarily, as he realizes that pointing to his own ribcage may not be the best way: after all-]

... Is what I would be saying if I still had a heart! YOOHOHOHOHO!

[freckleddoll]

[She joins in laughing, already used to him. She's spent her whole life around people who were somehow different after all, and she guesses that being a skeleton is just another kind of difference.]

Yeah, it is a good thing!

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

Yoohohoho, how fortunate then that we are of the same opinion~! It would hardly do to get into debates when I have barely been here less than a day!

[freckleddoll]

Yeah...no need not to get along in any case, right?

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

I would hardly be a gentleman if I did not do my best to get along with the people around me~. I prefer to make friendly acquaintances to enemies where I go since living on the outskirts of society only makes it even more necessary to be friendly to those in the same boat as you, so to speak.

[freckleddoll]

Know what you mean. S'hard enough to make friends when you're travellin' all the time without goin' around upsettin' people. S'much easier t'just try an' get along with everyone.

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

Mmm... I suppose that is one thing these strange places have going for them. There is seldom, at least in my own 'home away from home' any dangers or factors pitting people against one another. For beong so strange, they can often be strangely peaceful... mostly.

[freckleddoll]

Mostly...some of the curses 'ere do make people 'urt each other. Really hate it when that 'appens.

((ooc: sorry this is late, my computer monitor died ;;))

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

... Curses? I think that I heard something of them from last time, but... I am afraid I cannot recall what it was...

((OOC: It's okay, I am nothing if not used to epic backdating!))

[freckleddoll]

Usually they only last a day, or two at most. Weird things 'appen...sometimes it ain't too bad, like people singin' instead of talkin'. And sometimes it's a bit scary. Bein' turned into children again, or stuff like that. But it gets really bad when people are forced to fight or do other bad things.

((ooc: \o/))

[moveurdeadfros.livejournal.com]

... I see. Much like the effects and events of the camp I am a prisoner of, then.

[freckleddoll]

They do this kinda stuff to you there too?
