Someone is starting to think he's losing it.

[Roxas is poking at pirate costumes on the theatrical deck. He looks at Cambot when he realizes he isn't alone and just shakes his head.]

Now we have a pirate theme. If Hook shows up, I'm done.

[He holds up a hat that looks to belong to a different Disney pirate captain, however. Sora (or anyone who has seen Pirate of the Caribbean) may or may not recognize Barbossa's hat. From Cambot's POV, we can see that Jack's hat is in the same box. Roxas looks between the two hats for the moment before unceremoniously chucking the Barbossa has back into the box and walking away muttering.]

Forrester needs a hobby.

[wavesinherheart]

Maybe this is his hobby?

[thirteenth_brat]

Okay. Then he needs areal job.

[wavesinherheart]

I don't think I can really argue that.

[thirteenth_brat]

He probably thinks he does actually have a job already.

[wavesinherheart]

It's not a very good job, then.

[thirteenth_brat]

No, it isn't.

[wavesinherheart]

He probably wouldn't agree, though.

[thirteenth_brat]

Of course not. He thinks he's brilliant.

[wavesinherheart]

Of course he does.

[thirteenth_brat]

On the other hand, he's not as dangerous as he thinks he is.

[wavesinherheart]

I've noticed.

[skysmirror]

Captain Hook? Wasn't he the one who was in Neverland?

[Xion had never gotten to go there herself. Nor does she see what's wrong with a pirate theme, though some of the costumes look like they're a bit too flashy for her taste.]

[thirteenth_brat]

[As much as Roxas wouldn't want to see Hook show, part of the reason for that is he'd have to laugh at the guy. He did trash the guy's ship without even trying. Then again, he wasn't trying because he was too preoccupied with a giant flying Heartless and it was that Heartless, in its death throes, that did the work of trashing the ship.

In any case, Roxas is kind of amused no as he answers.]

Yes, he's the one in Neverland.

[Amusingly, in digging through the box, Roxas finds a gold hook. He just looks at it before putting it aside and digging a little more. He's not really finding anything he'd consider wearing either.]

The guy's such a nervous wreck, I don't really get how he could maintain command of ship.

[skysmirror]

[Xion remembers hearing that story and feeling bad that the ship got destroyed. Hook hadn't been nice, but it seemed kind of a waste to wreck a ship that was as nice as the one Roxas had described. Well, it hadn't been intentional, and the Heartless had needed to be taken care of.]

Maybe he used to not be so nervous, and now everybody's used to listening to him.

[thirteenth_brat]

That's possible. His nervous issue did come after he was captain. If my information is right, Peter Pan cut off Hook's hand and fed it to a crocodile. That crocodile's been following him since.

[skysmirror]

[That definitely sounds like something that would make someone nervous.]

That makes sense that he's nervous, but why did Peter do that?

[thirteenth_brat]

I'm not sure. Hook will say it was for fun. Peter doesn't deny it.

[skysmirror]

[She makes a face.]

Peter doesn't sound very nice.

[Something like that happening in a fight, she could understand. Just for fun? No.]

[thirteenth_brat]

I didn't meet him when I was there and it seems like he was kind of well behaved when Sora met him.

[skysmirror]

[Xion thinks for a moment.]

Right, he was.

[optimistickey]

[Sora is pretty excited about this week, and it shows. PIRAAATES!]

Hey, come on! If Captain Hook showed up, we could totally take him!

...And that hat looks familiar.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Somehow, this is not surprising.]

I suppose we could. That doesn't mean we want him to show up.

Huh? This hat?

[He picks up the Barbossa hat again. He had sort of thought it looked familiar too and the only reason he could think of for it was because Sora had seen it somewhere and they had gotten to look at each others memories at times.]

[optimistickey]

No, I don't want him to show up. But if the Satellite was annoying and decided to bring him here, at least we could take him. [And they'd make it fun, because PIRATES!]

Yeah. It kinda looks like Barbossa's fancy hat.

[thirteenth_brat]

Knowing our luck in this place, we probably should be thinking of that possibility.

Huh. Pirates have weird tastes in hats.

[optimistickey]

Or something else even more unexpected!

I think they just like them really fancy. It's like...treasure they get to wear!

[thirteenth_brat]

Just about anything is possible, isn't it?

Treasure they can wear... So they're all vain bastards, basically.

[optimistickey]

That's definitely been the case so far.

Well...yeah. That's just part of being a pirate!

[thirteenth_brat]

I think it's always going to be the case.

... And you actually sound kind of excited about this.

[optimistickey]

Yeah, why not? Pirate stuff is exciting!

[thirteenth_brat]

... Right.

[eyeofwildtiger]

I don't disagree with ya, there, but this isn't that bad, really. [Kotetsu already has a hat. And an eye patch. And a red parrot on his shoulder.]

[thirteenth_brat]

Somehow, I'm not surprised you would say that.

[eyeofwildtiger]

Aw, c'mon. Who wouldn't want to be a pirate?

[thirteenth_brat]

Sensible people.

[eyeofwildtiger]

You mean boring people.

[thirteenth_brat]

Sensible and boring don't necessarily go hand-in-hand.

Have you ever actually dealt with pirates?

[eyeofwildtiger]

Not necessarily. Just usually.

People calling themselves pirates, at least, yeah.

[thirteenth_brat]

That might be subjective.

Only calling themselves pirates... what were they actually doing?

[eyeofwildtiger]

Maybe.

...well, still bad guy stuff. But they didn't have a boat or anything.
