Thirty-third Flame-[Voice]

[Don't mind him, he just sounds a liiittle panicky and he's mumbling to himself at first.]

First Takuya, then Koichi, then Guilmon and Takato on the same day and then Kari disappeared and I thought they sent her home but she's here but--[Here his voice gets a little louder, and he's addressing the public.]

Okay, I need the best way to wake somebody up. Now.

I don't hate heroes, lad. Important point, there. Probably wouldn't be standing here before you if I hadn't run into a few heroes along the way, as it were. Bloody bastards can't get out of their own WAY as a rule, but that don't mean I hate 'em.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Just how many heroes have you crossed paths with anyway?

[all7seas]

Too many. Far too many.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

You mentioned a guy named Will last time. Who is he?

[all7seas]

Will Turner is Captain of a legendary ship, the Flyin' Dutchman. He's yay big, is obsessed with swords, and can be talked into almost anything. Typical hero, really.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

He's a hero and he's a pirate? [Does not compute suddenly.]

[all7seas]

Aye. And a good man. Just a bit on the stupid side is all, at times.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

...stupid how?

[all7seas]

Well do you have an hour or so, lad? Stupid how? I suppose it all boils down to the fact that he never suspects people he calls friends of double-crossing him. When, in all honestly, those are usually the people who do such things.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

So what, he trusts people too easily? The world's not as full of double-crossers as some people make it out to be.

[all7seas]

Trusts to the point of death. Numerous, multiple times. Yet the ladies love him, don't they? Explain THAT one to me!

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Most girls love heroes. There's no explanation to it.

Whoa, he's died multiple times?

[all7seas]

No, lad--point of death. Very different than actual death. Always spins on his heel at the point of death and sallies off to meet death at another, separate point.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

What's the point of that? [He thinks he gets it, but he wants to make sure.]

[all7seas]

Well now we're right back to where we started: stupid, lad. He's stupid.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he kind of sounds it now that you put it that way. But brave anyway.

[all7seas]

Same thing.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Stupidity's not bravery.

[all7seas]

But bravery is often stupidity. Usually. Almost always.

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Then I guess I've been really stupid the last year.

[all7seas]

Such an admission does not surprise me in the least, lad. [They've already had the "hero" discussion.]

[goggle-syndrome.livejournal.com]

Well thanks a lot, Jack. I'm not sure I want to be known as stupid.

[all7seas]

Don't worry, lad----your secret's safe with me.
