[The cabin that Will is in is much cleaner and well kept then others the community has shown. He looks a bit...at odds with the surroundings but a shake of his head and he smiles politely to a man who informs him that Beckett will arrive shortly.

He looks outside at the ruckus between Navy Men and Jone's fish adorned sailors before turning his attention to the mirror in his hand.]

I'm sorry I haven't been available to keep everyone informed.

[A slight pause as someone walks past before he continues.]

I've only recently escaped Jack's idea of dignified quarters. As it seems...neither he nor Elizabeth recall this place. I would apologize but perhaps it's better this way.

[He puts the mirror down as a man enters the room. Beckett sits before him, the mirror offering an odd view of tea cups and biscuits being passed over it. A sudden sound of wood hitting wood doesn't phase either man.]

I can not be summoned like some mongrel pup!

Apperently you can. I do believe you know each other?

Ahaha, come to join my crew again, Master Turner?

Not yours. His.

[Beckett sets a cup of tea on the mirror, which seemed to be part of the tea set the whole time, and shuts the feed off.]

Comments

[carriesparasol]

Trouble, Mister Turner?

[Video]

[captainwhelp]

[There's a bit of a time delay before Will answers.]

Not at all.

[Video]

[carriesparasol]

What are you planning to do now?

Re: [Video]

[captainwhelp]

I plan on following, Beckett's orders. So far that has not ended in disaster.

[Video]

[carriesparasol]

Beckett. That is the man James was working under, is it not?

Re: [Video]

[captainwhelp]

Yes, the same man.

[Though James and Will's reasons are a bit different from each other.]

[Video]

[carriesparasol]

I would have quite a few things to say to him should I ever meet him.

[nudistking]

Ahhh, sea life. I don't miss it at all.

[captainwhelp]

I never planned to be involved in it to begin with...but it's alright at the moment.

[nudistking]

What is it about adventure that you dislike so?

[captainwhelp]

What it seems to be costing all of us.

[James, Governor Swann, countless pirates and Navy men alike. All for that stupid chest and the very compass he holds now in his hand.]

[nudistking]

Oh... it tends to happen.

[captainwhelp]

Did it happen often with you?

[Because at this point he feels like Fate's kicking him whenever she feels like it.]

[nudistking]

It is the price we pay for glory.

[captainwhelp]

I want no glory. I simply want to survive whatever is going to happen next.

[nudistking]

That is a terrible point of view.

[makewayforroze]

Are you alright?

[captainwhelp]

[Oh...hi Roze.]

Yes, I'm fine. Commander Beckett is, at the least, a decent host.

[makewayforroze]

Do you remember the time when things weren't so dangerous for you?

[captainwhelp]

Vaguely.

[He does smile lightly though and shakes his head.]

It's been nary a year and yet...it feels as though it has been much more.

[makewayforroze]

It seems you've changed a lot, during that year.

[captainwhelp]

[He blinks a little and then furrows his brow.]

I...I have?

[He honestly doesn't think he has. Aside from a few opinions that have managed to marginally change.]

[makewayforroze]

It isn't for the worse... and I'm not sure how much but I do think you have, a bit.

[captainwhelp]

Tahnk you, Miss Roze. With all that has happened...well..

[He trails off a bit sheepishly.]

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

They forgot? [...] I guess this explain things.

What is going on over there, Mr. Turner?

[captainwhelp]

I'm sorry, Arthur...he remembers nothing.

[Which is a real big pain since their plans are now derailed and Will is pretty much making things up as he goes.]

...a deal. Nothing more.

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

I never really got to talk to him after he gave that watch, I wanted to tell him thanks.

[let's change the subject and focus on will, that's a better option.] Deals can e tricky and troublesome.

[captainwhelp]

He probably managed to gain it from some poor man in Tortuga but...he would appreciagte the gratitude. Perhaps...perhaps I can mention it to him in some way?

[No, Will wants to forget what he is about to do. it doesn't sit well with him but...desperate times.]

Well, yes. I have seen my fair share of broken or mishandled ones.

[p_a_r_a_d_o_x]

Even if he did that...[It's also watch old as balls and now it worth 10,000$] :|]

I all did. I hope this one doesn't have a downside for you. If you need help you can always ask us.

[hugmyscythe]

Stringed together, all of thesevideo play as if telling

an odyssey,

William Turner.

Re: permavid;

[captainwhelp]

It certainly feels as though it is.

[And since it's DM, he's not going to try and hide how tired he kind of is.]

...what other videos have you seen, Dead Master?

[he sorta has an idea but he's trying to pull the denial card.]

[hugmyscythe]

Any of those that the community enjoysrecording without consent- of your tale,

of the man named Norrington,

and of those by Elizabeth Swann.They are all linked,yes? I wonder, I wonder how this will end.

[captainwhelp]

[So she saw...that's two men the community has shown Will that his fiance has kissed. He sighs and closes the compass in his hand rather forcefully.]

I can give you the two scenarios we face.

[He looks up to catch her gaze.]

Either Beckett looses...or we all die.

[hugmyscythe]

[ a frown ] Nonsense, nonsense. Then you make

a third scenario.

[captainwhelp]

I can't think of one.

There can be no compromise. Neither side will budge and I am beginning to think everyone about me would rather die then surrender.

[Don't frown, DM. Will is just being pessimistic.]

[hugmyscythe]

Mm? ...Then do tellwhat is forsaken whenone surrenders that it is so importantto risk life.

[captainwhelp]

[Will grows silent,, staring at the small black box in his hand. The answer came to him the moment he had put her sentence together.]

Freedom.

[It was a s simple, and complicated, as that.]

[hugmyscythe]

[ her eyes light up at that. ] Indeed, indeed.But it is doubt for others, I believe,

that would have you worry

over a impending battle.So, then. Freedom must be weighed

against friendship,
against love.

[captainwhelp]

[He likes the way her eyes light up and a soft smile tugs at the corner of his mouth for a moment.]

Ay, and that just...it seems to be something that we shouldn't even have to consider.

[hugmyscythe]

...I would think freedom the opposite

without the latter.

[captainwhelp]

..you would be right. Yet somehow, it is often quite diffcult to put love and freedom together.

[He glances at the compass again.]

At least in my own fortunes. And what I have seen of those around me.
