Introspection | Action | Vocal Locket Outburst -- Open to All
((The first part of this post is Jack's personal record of his stay at the Unseelie Court. The second bit is action, and anyone near Loch Noa, north of the Station, can encounter Jack. Responses to his locket exclamation in the very last section of this post are also welcome.))
The Private Captain's Log of Jack Sparrow, late of the Black Pearl, now of some blighted Castle in Fairy-Land. If found, cast it into the sea. Any sea. Bugger.
June the 1st: Arrived. Rum. Feast. Met a devastating woman who lost her throne. Might be interesting -- looks to be wealthy-ish. Scary, though. Met a fellow with a rich inner life and a hatred of slavery. Met a variety of people from a land called "Panem." Electric fences. Best not to go there.
The Unseelie castle reminds a man of Shipwreck City, just without Grandmama at its black heart. Here is to hoping she didn't cross over as well, though the place would suit her.
Lots of rum.

((While there are entries for June 2nd through about the 6th, they sort of trail off sideways down the pages. There are frequent mentions of "rum" and "bottle." In fact, the entry for June 4th pretty much repeats rumbottle rumbottle rumbottle ho, rumbottle rumbottle doh dee doh doh as though Jack has been composing a song. The entries cease at June the 11th, an entry for which nothing is written. Then:))
June 13ish. Maybe. There is a mooing.
June 14. Why is there a mooing? There is a mooing and a mooing. A man can't get drunk enough. Blast this castle.
June 15th. I have primed my pistol, removing Barbossa's Shot and fixing another in its place. Captain Jack Sparrow, Scourge of Caracas, Pirate Lord of the Caribbean, has a mimbling cow to shoot. The mooing transgresses every boundary between piratedom and cowdom and demands resolution, and I, Captain Jack Sparrow, shall resolve it heretoforthwith TODAY. Bovine-pirate borders must be firmed up, blast it, and broiled steaks for all to-night.
[Thus, Captain Jack Sparrow sets off to shoot the Hedley Kow.
Outside the castle, he approaches it where it passive-aggressively chews a turnip. It moos in a low, coaxing sort of way. It is a come-hither moo, but Jack is not charmed. He aims and pulls the trigger, but at that moment, the pistol vanishes.]
BUGGER!
[The beast moos again, and now his hat -- his HAT! -- takes itself from off his head and vanishes as well! Jack is left speechless as, with a final mocking moo, the Kow itself disappears.
No....no, that's not right. The Kow did not disappear. Somehow, Jack realizes, he has disappeared and reappeared Someplace Else. There is a great dark lake before him, dark even under the sun. Trees whisper in the wind. No one else appears to be near. Welcome to Loch Noa, Captain Jack Sparrow. He opens his locket, shakes it, and bellows:]

[Jack just laughs. He doesn't have kids!!
That he knows of!!!!]

[Jack won't judge for that decision.]
There's LOTS more other things to regret! Like women, and card games, and choosing to remove your boots before disembarking at Spineneedle Bay!
video
I don't think I've actually had the chance to regret any of those things, but I get the feeling that you've had a lot more adventures than most people anyway.
video
What DO you regret, may I ask?
[Always fun to play the What Are Your Deepest Regrets Game. Sort of.]

video
Be grateful for that.

I... um, what?

[It sort of sucked to live in terror of Davy Jones, even here in this weird fairy world. It was exactly the sort of place the dread sea captain would visit.]

Indeed! The Black Pearl -- fastest and most deadly ship in the Caribbean! Deadly and huge and fierce! You've likely heard of her exploits in some tail or other!
video
video how did I even spell tale wrong
[First Jack has to FIND her and secure her from Davy Jones, which will not be easy, but is eminently necessary.]
video it's okay it can be a nautical term
