[Barbossa's certainly not denying that the man is odd. He'd have to be daft, to hire a pirate ship, knowing full well he might be robbed and murdered in his sleep. But Barbossa's crew is a little better behaved than that, because he's told them to be. At least for now.

No point in killing the bird when they might lead you to the nest, after all.

He pauses, his peg leg hitting the deck with a final thump as he does so, and he adjusts the crutch under his arm to a slightly more comfortable position, taking the moment to glance up at the moon.]

Still, a little odd, mate. Surely ye've made what we are. At least, I hope ye be pert enough to at least do that.

[bokenidaime]

I'm sitting here because this is a good spot to watch the stars.

[He took another sip from the bottle in the same calm manner as before.]

Gretel | Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters

[witchunting]

[boundbyheart]

There's a better spot on the other side of the hill.

[A lie, but who cares? She was here first.]

Princess Luna | My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

[princess_luna]

[Forget stargazing from Earth, let's do it from the moon with the aid of a shielding/breathing spell for any mortal with her.]

[shieldbrother]

No, me, either. They're hard to kill. [Sugarcoat? What's that?

He shifts where he's sitting, fiddling with a strap on his armor.] Besides, even if they did, they're cowards. Send dogs to do their dirty work. So I'll smell them before they get close.

[caladcholg]

[When isn't Clare out sitting outside at night? Or for this long? Maybe there's something to as she sits there, just as rigid as she is, against her broadsword. It makes a good temporary seat.]

[bokenidaime]

Nah I like this spot and I'm already sitting down.

[No good reasons, but that he didn't care about.]

Besides it will take longer time for Kubinashi to find me here.

[domina_illustris]

Just passing through.

[Kind of not into the small talk right now, she's still pretty distracted by the sky outside.

....Screw it, she's got a shotgun loaded with rock-salt, a pistol and various charms in her handbag, a good pair of legs, and enough magical know-how to put those new age covens to shame.

She was never one for just sitting idle anyway.

Eva reaches into her bag, throws some money onto the table for the bill, and quickly walks out of the rest stop with a determined look in her eye.]

[boundbyheart]

Kubinashi? [That seemed to get her attention at least.]

Your girlfriend?

one!

[praised]

[it's finally warm enough that they can enjoy a date outside. test had a relatively easy day at work & he was able to coerce the doctor to go out for dinner (which is a little weird on his end, but hey he's in a good mood!). the sky is clear, full of stars, the weather is nice -- perfectly romantic despite this being a spur of the moment kind of date.

he got them reservations to a nice restaurant with balcony seating so he's now sitting outside, waiting for viktor to meet him, looking up at the sky while he plays with a straw absently]

[justguidelines]

[He told Jack they needed to take that damned wand from her, and Jack, being his usual idiotic self, hadn't listened, and now where was Barbossa? Exactly. With her on his deck plucking every string of nerves he has, purposely! The only other wench to get away with that ended up a pirate herself, so that's no surprise, but this one?

This one isn't worth nearly as much as she thinks, in his humble opinion, and as far as he's concerned, Jack can go back with her.

If she's alive, that is.]

Ye'll not be insulting me crew, lass. They be not the ones that tied the knots. [In an automatic response, his hand drops to the hilt of the sword hanging at his side, and he touches it lightly a moment, considering what a joy it would be to bring the rigging to life and see how she squirms out of that.] But if ye behave, ye can stay. One wrong move and ye might find out why we call it the Locker.

[bokenidaime]

[He could not help, but to laugh out loud as a image of Kubinashi in a pretty kimono came into his head.]

Not really. Kubinashi is a he.

OH GOD BB ;; FEELS

[simpleman]

[Dean sees her, and there's a slight rush of affection for he blonde, because it's been far too long since they've seen each other. Ages. And so much has happened between then and now, it seems like a whole other lifetime.

But he makes his way over, hands shoved in his pockets, before stopping before her with a big grin.]

So, you seen Cas lately?

[boundbyheart]

A comrade, then. [She doesn't laugh, in fact, her tone is as serious as before.]

[squiddleling]

[Well, of course she knew about Hawaii. The very thought -- despite all she could see and despite all what she could do -- excited her. Excited her like no other. She never felt lonely or gotten bored on Grandpa Jake's Island, but she knew it just didn't exist anymore. She didn't want it to exist. A pale copy would never do.

Jade stumbles a little, stepping off the helicopter. She's not that remarkably clumsy but the blind fold makes it a little hard for her. She's a Witch of Space still, but for some reason her powers don't exactly help her in knowing where simple steps are at! It's more of cute stumbles though, her hand reaching out to catch Dave's arm, to squeeze it tightly. But she can smell the picnic, even if her ears are hidden under a hat.]

Really? That was... well... really, really long! But I honestly think we're not quite in Kansas anymore!

[She begins to undo the blind fold to look around and gasps at the sight.] Dave!

[simpleman]

[Well, that's weird.

Dean sits there a moment longer, before pulling his wallet out of his jacket and slamming down money himself, surreptitiously reaching under his jacket to make sure his gun and the gris gris bag is still there.

That done, he slips out of the rest stop himself, keeping a low profile as he scans for the blonde. She's up to something. She walked just a little too fast with a little too much purpose for him to think otherwise, and he pretty much guarantees it has something to do with the oncoming eclipse.]

[bokenidaime]

Yes. The serious kind.

[Always nagging about small things like entering battles on his own or neglecting his duties as commander.]

[boundbyheart]

Hm. [And now, back to silence. He didn't seem to be anything useful. Not to mention she didn't care about this person at all. He seemed to be just an annoying villager, with way too many guts.]

[bokenidaime]

[It might not be strange that he seemed like a villager. That was what he was aiming for after all. His true powers was way greater than a normal humans.]

So what is a lovely yet strange demon doing here a night like this?

[caladcholg]

[It's easy to sneak up on Clare when she gets so entrenched with thought. At the moment, she could have sworn there possibly were a line up of stars of the twin goddesses, or so they said.]

Eh?

[It will probably be a good thing to know Clare really didn't turn around until he uttered "Cas". Yes, yes, Castiel, Clare knows of him. Good guy.]

Ah, I have not seen Castiel, no.

[boundbyheart]

None of your business.

[dux_atrum]

[Daft, insane, loony, stark raving mad, eccentric among those trying to be polite, he's heard them all, in various tongues and places, over various years. There isn't a human alive in the entire world who knows just how correct those statements are, not for the reasons any would think though.

Sparda chuckles softly and turns his gaze upwards as well, the bright light of the moon making his pale blue eyes seem red.]

I am aware, pirates. This is the Queen Anne's Revenge, yes? Though you are no Blackbeard.

[His gaze moves back down to the deck with a soft hum.]

That must be quite the story, how you came by this ship.

[invigorates]

Oh. [ Well, that sucks.

but she ends up smiling when he says the last bit, ] That's good, then. I mean, not that I would wish these creatures upon you, but should they come, at least we know that you will be there to warn us. [ and that is always a plus.

but look, something is happening probably, ] Is the eclipse starting? [ squints. ]

[bcuzofmiasma]

[ The eclipse was going to happen tonight. Everyone knew it; every yokai, every human, every hanyou. Narkau was no exception, which was why he went completely out of his way to hunt down his rogue incarnation; after all, she was made from his own flesh. It wouldn't be hard to find a piece of himself, even now. ]

The eclipse will be happening soon.

[ His voice would be heard before he would be seen. Shrouded in the baboon pelt cloak, the hood drawn over his eyes. ]

Do I need to remind you what that means?
