Being Marooned [Thursday, May 20]

[capt-maxfactor.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you came back!" Jack said, looking a little surprised as his class joined him again on the beach. "How terribly responsible of you. Today we're going to exploring our surroundings, savvy? Can't plan a very effective escape without knowing if there--just to pull an example from the air, you see--might be a secret cache of rum left behind by rum runners over by yonder tree."

There wasn't, but Jack remained hopeful that someday he'd find the secret hiding place for alcohol on the island that wasn't at Caritas. He was sure the squirrels were putting it somewhere.

"To that purpose and end, today you will pair up, take these maps that I drew myself," or bought from Turtle & Canary, but that didn't seem properly pirate-y, "and go searching for treasure! I've buried a lovely lunch for you at various locations around the island."

Assuming you liked pie, oranges, and beef jerky.

He made a shooing motion. "Go on now. Go away."

"I suppose so," Christian said, trying to keep his equilibrium. "I don't have either of those things, but I do have" -- he checked his pockets -- "three shillings ninepence. And a watch. Would that help?"

"It's a golden watch that calls for his friends?", said as she picked it. And lo, it was now! "He will tell us when the sister coins are hiding."

No watches will be permanently changed and/or harmed in this treasure hunt.

"Of course it will." Christian didn't believe that at all, but he was always willing to go along with a bit of whimsy. "Which way should we go?"

Del threw the watch up, and it floated for a couple of seconds before darting...somewhere.

"Over there." And she was already running after it. Screw the maps.

Christian trotted after her, grateful he had the advantage in height. "How is it -- Are you another witch?"

"I'm not human; I'm an Endless." She then realized they hadn't really...wait, hadn't they? Hmmm... "Delirium, that's me. Most of the times I think. Does one name changes when it's not used frequently? Like, you can be Mat, but if nobody calls you Mat in a while, you might end up being Rick."

Just another normal day.

"I don't know," Christian answered. he decided the Endless thing was a problem for another day. "I've never had a name besides Christian. Do you think I should start calling myself something else and see if it lasts?"

Delirium actually took a moment to consider that. "Nah, Christian is a pretty name." Not as pretty as if it started with a D, but hey, he was trying. "You would need to tell everyone everyone everyone about your new name, and they there would be parties and duels and people would need to write your new name in their little black mind books."
