[the traveler has appeared on the edge of town along the road. anyone in the surrounding buildings may have heard it chirping and calling out as it runs toward the town square. and anyone it encounters along the way will have a close to three foot tall red cloaked creature running circles around them.

ooc; an example of the tonal chirps can be found here on a youtube let's play]

My name is Captain Kidd, as I sail, as I sail, oh my name is Captain Kidd, as I sail!

[Might as well start a new song, then. Try to keep up, Traveler.]

[Singing!]

[Still singing:]

♫♫♪♫ Me an' my little odd friend what doesn't know the rum nor the wenches!
We're off to the bar to eat pickled eggs from a jar and carve our names on the benches! ♪♪

[It runs a circle around Jack while singing, mimicking his tones. What is a name, Jack? It does not understand.]

[action]

[all7seas]

[Wow, that makes the pirate kinda dizzy, actually. He reels back a staggering step, arms flung out for balance. Then:]

Sigmund? You never told me you were German.

[He gives the thing a doubtful look, but...oh well.]

Come now, Sigmund. We're nearly at the pub!

[And Jack begins whistling a lively tune that has nothing to do with Germans or pubs and has something to do with a widow walking the shore and waiting for her husband who will come home nevermore.]

[It follows after him, mimicking the song as best it can, happy to finally be traveling.]

[action]

[all7seas]

Do you mind if I call you Siggy? 'S not as regimented and alarming. Now Siggy, my good......thing: where I come from, we treat strangers to a round or two. Even the Germans! I expect you'll want some sort of warm ale.

I won't judge.

Here -- let me hold the door for you.

[And very graciously Jack opens and holds the door to Good Spirits.]

[action]

[chirpchirp]

[Oh! A new level! The traveler stops by the door and lets out a loud chirp, the sound waves washing over the building and it looks to Jack. Aren't they supposed to stop for a vision before going through a door?]

[action]

[all7seas]

[The visions usually hit later, on the way OUT the door.]

Well? Go in go in! ♪♪♪! Dry as a bone, me!

[action]

[chirpchirp]

[whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

It tilts its head and then bumps up against the steps to the door, laboriously climbing up over each one until it makes it inside.

WHOA, LOOK AT THIS PLACE.]

[action]

[all7seas]

[IT IS A WONDERLAND OF VICE-TASTIC FUN! AND WONDER!]

Note the dart board! The corner where the karaoke machine once stood before they dragged it out and beat it to death! The bar! Here, let me get you a bottle, Siggy-me-chum!

[He leaves Siggy's side for a moment to swing over the top of the bar and swipe a couple bottles of Screech.]

[action]

[chirpchirp]

[The traveler wanders through the bar, passing under tables and sometimes climbing up onto chairs to stand on the tables instead. It's standing on one said table when Jack gets the booze and is turning around, taking the entire place in. It could climb forever in this place.]

[action]

[all7seas]

Oh, Siggy. [Jack looks at him rather admiringly before approaching and offering him some rum.]

Here, take this bottle, there's a good lad. You're not allowed on the tables til you've drunk at least two or three, savvy?

[action]

[chirpchirp]

[Looking at the bottle, the traveler nudges it with its face and then chirps at it. Will it chirp back? ....Apparently not.]

♫?

[action]

[all7seas]

D'you need a straw?

[action]

[chirpchirp]

[What it needs is a mouth. The traveler walks to the edge of the table so it can put its face up near Jack's and rubs up against his cheek.]

♫~

[action]

[all7seas]

Siggy, I don't know what to say.......



You're a very attractive Whistly Thing, but I like the wenches, me.

[But then he notices -- no mouth!]

Bugger! No mouth!

[action]

[chirpchirp]

[The traveler pulls away and sits down on the table, folding its legs up under the cloak.]

♫~

[Nope, no mouth. Nothing but eyes, really.]

[action] 1/3

[all7seas]

Right! Something must be done about this!

[How can he get this thing drunk if it doesn't have a mouth?




An idea forms.]

[all7seas]

3/3

[all7seas]

Right! [The rum fumes are now rife on Jack Sparrow's breath. He will try to get close to the Traveler again, because he wants to BREATHE on him. Maybe the vapors will do the trick.]

Siggy --- inhale!

[chirpchirp]

[What? It doesn't understand, but it gets close because Jack is trying to get close. Let's put our faces right next to each other, Jack. That's a great idea!]

[all7seas]

[Here it comes, Siggy: one wall of rummy pirate breath. INHALE. INHALE.














INHALE.]

[chirpchirp]

[Inhale?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

The traveler chirps and falls off the table.]

[all7seas]

.......Siggy?
