[A packet of paper hits a the desk and James, being held by midshipmen, drawls,]

I hope you don't mind. I took the liberty of filling in my name.

If you intend to claim these, you must have something to trade. Do you have the compass?

Better. [James breaks from his captors and throws a messy sack onto the desk. It lands with a wet thud.] The heart of Davy Jones.

It's common to give hearts as Christmas presents in your world, Mr. Norrington?

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

[A few hours later, look at how showered and neat he is!]

...Is it Christmas? Not so literally, I suppose.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[Oh....]

It is in my world. You look clean.

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

I must have lost track.

Thank you, I think.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

It happen.

Ehm, welcome. What was all that video about?

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

I was adrift several days, and we're too close to the equator for there to be much in the way of seasons. At times I miss England for that.

The heart is Davy Jones's. Whomever controls the heart controls the Duchman and thus, the sea.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

It's always hot in the Caribbean...maybe you could ask for a worldhop one day and visit england again.

And you gave that huge power it to....who, exactly?

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

That is certainly true enough. I will have to wait for an appropriate time to do so.

The East India Trading Company.

[And look now I'm an admiral :D]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

I don't recommend it now no.

[He already mentioned that you are clean XD And shaved! Arthur raises a brow.]

What would they do with it?

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

[Admiral, Admiral, la la la la la la~]

Any number of things. Control shipping routes. Speed deliveries. Eliminate the menace that preys upon good English ships. [E.G, Sparrow.]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[Are you wearing tights too mr. Admiral?]

....Kill everyone who dares to oppose them.

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

[Well yes.]

No. If anything, by controlling Davy Jones we're eliminating much of the senseless violence on these waters. The only men with anything to fear are those who live outside the law to begin with

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[How adorable.]

Any men with too much power loses sense on justice. The heart should belong to no one but the sea, it belonged to the sea before. What if it comes back to claim it?

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

It won't.

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

How can you be sure of that?

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

I'm certain.

[Stop making him doubt.]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

You are certain that the human being is not selfish by nature? that this will be an utopia?

[No, never :|]I admire your faith.

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

I am certain, Arthur, that there is a right and a wrong in this world, and that if this power must be held, it should be held by those who will not abuse it.

[So hedging here]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

My point exactly, that's why and empire who's been conquering and abusing other countries for years shouldn't have it. Anybody should.

[You are so not winning this argument, mister.]

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

Need I remind you that you are speaking of the greatest Empire since the Roman fell?

[Someone's been drinking the koolaid.]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

Your empire will fall too, eventually. Nothing last forever but you can only live one life. Make sure you don't regret the decision you make.

[Sob, Norr...brainwashed.]

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

[Hey stop insulting his empire. It's a good empire.

Coldly.]

I'm sure I will not.

[For at least three whole days!]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[It is...was...but he's still right.]

I really hope you are don't. [And that, my friend, it's said with sincerity and no trace of sarcasm.]

[But this will end so bad ;3;]

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

[Bah, you and your historical perspective. But that honesty takes him a little off guard.]

I -- thank you.

[So, so badly.]

[t-point-man.livejournal.com]

[:/]

[He does care for people's lives.]

Welcome.

[Sob;;]

Okay, you realize from where I'm standing you kind of just made piracy look respectable compared to you, right?

[chapter-behind.livejournal.com]

Davy Jones cut out his heart and buried it. I simply retrieved it for the King and Company; I fail to see anything piratical in that.
