Dizzy Land

"It's lying on the ground next to the bench!"

Pippi wondered at first who Elizabeth was but then concluded that if nobody else who could possibly be named Elizabeth was around so that must be her.

She certainly didn't mind being called Elizabeth, it was such a pretty name. And any gentleman so piratical as this must certainly know what he's talking about. Why, he was almost as piratical as Grandfather Fabe!

With unnecessarily dramatic flair, Crowley rolled off the bench, swept up the hat, put it on his head, and gave a satirical little bow in one fluid movement. He then sauntered over to her with rather more sway than he was accustomed to, blinked his dark brown eyes, and sighed. "Why is the rum always gone?"

It wasn't fair to have the hangover without having had the drinks first...

From:

"Because you drink it?" ~~Pippi~~ Elisabeth mused.

From:

"Heartless woman," he pouted. "And where is young William? Behind the main on the Pearl, watchin' her while I'm away, I expect. Are you here with the rest of the crew on Tortuga? Were we taking on supplies?"

Crowley got used to spouting nonsense when this had happened before, but he'd forgotten about the nearly impossible to ignore pull toward the sea and desperately wished he could remember what had happened the night before.

"Come, Elizabeth, me beauty. There's freedom to be seized."

From:

"As far as I know it's just me. But we can look around for others if ya like." she said following him.

From:

"That's odd. Gibbs never passes up a bit o' shore leave."

Heading unerringly toward the Rivers of America where his instinct was drawing him, Crowley started singing.

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me..."

From:

"We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!" ~~Pippi~~ Elizabeth sang skipping along side him.

From:

((*laughs* I'm off for work now, but I'll pick this up again after I get home. In the meantime, we can see if anyone else hops in. :D Thanks!))

From:

((You guys still want a Will?))

Sam was sitting on the bank of the Rivers of America, not far from the Mark Twain's dock. He looked up when he heard the singing and the moment he caught sight of the red-haired little girl he jumped up with a shout of "Elizabeth!" and ran to her.

Which was weird, because he'd never met the girl before, but somehow he suddenly felt like she was the most important person in the whole world.

From:

((Absolutely! :D))

"Will, me lad!" cried Crowley with a return of that fuzzy feeling he had when he'd first seen Elizabeth; like a thirsty man looking at a full bottle of rum. Odd that... Even stranger were the wide arm-movements he was making - sort of an awkward changing of arms outflung for a hug to a 'look, here's the world' kind of gesture as the object of the hug runs past.

"Thought you might be here."

From:

((omg that description killed me. You win all the points.))

Now that Sam had a gentle hand on the girl's arm he found himself able to give his attention to other things again, and he turned his head to the man who had just spoken.

"Jack!" his mouth said, in a tone strangely mixed with suspicion, happiness, and a touch of hero worship. And suddenly he realized who the guy was.

He’d only seen the first movie with Jess, but even if he hadn’t he’d certainly have recognized Johnny Depp’s distinctive character. But he’d called the girl Elizabeth which meant…

His hand slid, a little possessively, around ‘Elizabeth’s’ shoulders, which was awkward because she was short and he hand to bend over a little to do it. He nodded at Jack in a manly fusion. “How’ve you been?”

From:

((Yayz! I has the points. :D))

"Fine, Will, lad. Never better. Managing all by me onesies."

Another odd gesture, encompassing... everything, apparently.

"And here you are with your bonnie lass. And here I am not with my ship. So we are all men who either do or do not have what it is that we want, apart from Elizabeth, of course, who is in fact, a woman. Savvy?"

From:

"Hi Will!"

From:

…

Why did he get stuck as the Orlando Bloom character?

Inwardly Sam did find Jack’s words amusing, but him-as-Will was unable to really follow the pirate’s convoluted speech, and started to get a little glassy-eyed. ‘Will’ wasn’t very smart, apparently.

“Where is the Pearl, then, Jack? And your crew?” he asked, with a hint of ‘you lost it already?’ in his tone. To Elizabeth he said, “Hello Elizabeth, it’s good to see you,” and was vaguely disturbed by the tone he’d taken toward a nine year old girl.

From:

The nine year old is blissfully ignorant of any nasty bad wrongness.

While the banter between "Jack" and "Will" was raging, somewhere in the back of Pippi's brain something stirred and tried to convince her she was a pirate named Elizabeth... This turned out to be completely unnecessary. Never before was a person more certain that they were already a pirate thank you very much. It didn't matter what people called her. Whoever this other pirate gal was she'd have to wait her turn because she was here first. So neyah.

Once she was done with that boring train of thought she gave Will a hug.

"It's good to see you too!" she said as if she had missed him ever so much, if she'd ever met him before that is.

From:

Because Sam was the second hottest, of course...

"That was the very subject I'd intended to bring up with you, Will, me boy. Were you or were you not at the wheel last?"

Feeling a stirring of something uncomfortably like jealousy - not a common occurrence in the demon's life thus far - he leaned down to stage whisper to Elizabeth.

"I shouldn't get too close, luv. Nothin' to get excited about." And he made a 'snip, snip' sort of hand gesture with a hard look at the front of Sam's trousers. This was also entirely inappropriate for a nine-year-old or anyone else, really.

From:

~~Or possibly because Sam was an emo pretty boy~~

"I was not," Sam answered, a bit flustered by how his voice seemed to have gotten lower and gruffer since the conversation started. He got even more flustered at the old 'eunich' gag, but Will was only vaguely bemused. "Maybe we should go find her," he suggested uncomfortably.

From:

Pippi was thinking that "Jack" was making some sort of comment on how "Will" needed to get his clothes altered or some such.

Pippi thought they fit just fine.

But they kept talking about a 'Pearl'... Hadn't Susan said something about a 'Pearl'?

"Isn't Pearl in Tomorrowland?" she asked the two of them.
