Thirty-Eighth Flame - [Voice/Action]

[gogglesyndrome]

Hey, all of you guys who know how to actually use a sword! Anybody up for a sparring match? I need to get better with this thing eventually.

Haruhi, the spirits are still ignoring me so I give up. For those of you who are good at that sort of thing, how'd you get them to really talk to you? The only one who really listens to me is Nala...she's nice, and healing magic helps, but I want to learn more anyway.

Man, nearly two years in this place and I still can't get it.

[He's going to leave his journal open, but in between responses, he'll be going over some training movements with the sword he's acquired. Jack Sparrow has taught him well...and Sparrow's taught him some other things, too.]

Jack:

Signing your notes as "very concernedly" really doesn't help, you know.

Taichi:

You need all the help you can get, even the unhelpful help.

Worriedly

Jack:

If you're that worried, you can come out here and watch my amazing skills in action.

Tai

PS. Worriedly really isn't that much better...

[Jack supposes he could intervene should things run south.

...

Or not.]

Lad:

Not certain my old heart could stand that much amazement all at once, but if you tell me your location, I will be there presently.

Jack:

I'm at the Barracks. If you're that interested.

Be there in a tick. Don't get killed before then.

No promises.

[A little while later, Jack Sparrow slouches over to the barracks. He'll just watch whatever's happening before making himself known]

[Well from the looks of it, Taichi's getting his ass kicked by Ezra so by the time he walks away from the fight, he'll take notice of Jack.]

...you showed up.

[all7seas]

Taichi lad----------I'm not certain that the lesson truly took. What was that then?

[action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

That...was somebody who fights a lot better than I thought.

[action]

[all7seas]

She thoroughly schooled you, son, is what. You alright?

[action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm fine. [Just embarrassed. And his ego's incredibly bruised.] I've been in tougher battles than that.

[action]

[all7seas]

Tougher, eh? And still alive? You must be even luckier than I am, lad.

[action]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

That's what happens when you fight monsters a lot.

2/2

[all7seas]

Fighting monsters, is it? Ever encounter a kraken, boy?

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

No...ever encounter a Gesomon?

[all7seas]

.....That's a Korean noodle dish, is it not? I fancy the Angry Fisherman's Destiny platter, m'self.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...no! He's a giant squid-looking Digimon.

[all7seas]

You know, lad--my hope is that I'll never encounter a gessiedigiwhatsit, if that be the case. Ever. Never ever. Can't abide tentacled things, myself.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Because of the kraken?

[all7seas]

Nah, much more worse: because of being eaten by said kraken.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...how are you still alive?

[all7seas]

I'm only alive again because far too many people missed me to just let me stay dead, lad. I'm Captain Jack Sparrow, son.
