[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]

[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.]

2/3

[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?

[chirpchirp]

[What...............just.......... happened.........

the traveler lies face down on the floor, not moving; although its scarf is lazily waving about behind it.]

[all7seas]

Perhaps I have made a tactical error in serving Siggy the spirits.


Siggy, lad? If you can hear me, make a whistle! [Jack whistles to the traveler just to see if that wakes him up a bit.]

[chirpchirp]

[the whistle wakes it up and the traveler climbs to its feet, a bit wobbly]

♩

[all7seas]

You really cannot hold your liquor, can you! ♩♩♩♩?

< You going to chunder? >

[chirpchirp]

♩♪♪

<chunder? what is chunder? what is liquor?>

[it sways a little, but regains its footing soon enough, looking at jack curiously]

[all7seas]

You don't have a MOUTH though. So I suppose....


Unless it spews out your eyeholes....

[chirpchirp]

??

[the traveler is confused. mouths? eyeholes? what?

it turns a lazy circle and then sits down, looking up at Jack]

[all7seas]

[Jack is just waiting for vomit to happen, keeping a special watch on those eyeholes.]

[chirpchirp]

[it looks back at him for a moment and then leans forward, trying to nuzzle his face. hello, teacher. are we having a staring contest??]
