Welp We're Here and That's What Matters
[Perhaps it's tradition by now, he doesn't know. Still, he does send a note to everyone some time after the trial. Simple and to the point:]
Because everything on this ship is awful, I think a drink is needed. Come get some at the bar, it'll do you some good as long as you don't drink too much
Filbo (pawprint)
[Indeed, if you come to the bar you'll find there's one of everything. Filbo seems to have asked literally every drink he knows or has at least heard about, and lined them up from the most mellow to the strongest. There's one of each, so it's limited, take yours before it's gone! Or...ask Jimmy Buffett for more, he's right there.
Should he be encouraging drinking? He's not completely certain, but he had to do something! And this is as good as anything -- not festive because this is no time to be festive, but also social enough to encourage coming.
This will do.]

It opened up a room in the back; there were some robots inside.
[Unfortunately, that's still ongoing, so that's all the info he's got right now!!]
But that certainly does sound interesting. What did you learn from him?
no subject
I don't think he expected to be brought to his world, either. Something must've happened--but whatever happened doesn't matter, since he immediately took an opportunity. He got a tip about a source of all the "loot and power you could want", and decided to set his sights on the sea. That's what I figure he's after, in the end.
[He pauses, shrugging.]
It's pretty easy to get the guy to talk--just stroke his ego a bit, and he'll fall over himself trying to prove to you how great he is. I'll share everything at our next meeting, of course.
no subject
[The Captain was brought here? That's one he wasn't expecting. And his mind immediately went to greed which seems like it scans, honestly...]
I'll be sure to keep that in mind, ja. I'm afraid I haven't turned up much else that may be relevant, but I'll certainly keep looking!
[At this point he just enjoys trying to find the puzzles.......]
no subject
Constantine hesitates, sitting up and going back to his normal tone of voice.]
Everything seems to connect back to the Bermuda Triangle. I almost have to question whether one of its anomalies is what brought us here in the first place.
[He snorts.]
Look at me, sounding like a proper conspiracy nut.
no subject
[vesperia conspiracies are probably all things that are true, i get to decide this because no one else is playing a vesperia in this game and cannot contradict me.]
The Bermuda Triangle certainly does seem to hold quite the mysterious power... I hope we're able to learn more about it.
no subject
[Not even Constantine knows...! Sometimes, mysteries are meant to be unsolved. A smirk pulls on the corners of his mouth.]
Also, as a side note, the man thinks far too highly of himself. He had the gall to think that I was flirting with him.
[Which, you know, complimenting him was the point to distract him, but....]
no subject
Well, I suppose if you really wanted to get answers, that is one way to go about it...?
[just flirt with the captain, constantine, just do it]
Though really, his ego is almost impressive... I do believe it'll be his downfall, but we need to be careful not to underestimate him.
no subject
Constantine makes a disgusted expression, sticking his tongue out.]
Ugh. As if I'd shag a man with a mask stapled onto his face.
[...Is that really the thing he should be focusing on?]
I do think he's sufficiently defended in case anyone tries to make a move against him. A full-on attack will do nothing to help us.
no subject
[Just. Just a bit.]
Agreed, though. We may have access to him now, but even if we all were to rush him at once, I can't imagine that would end well for us. He's only opened his office up to us because he's prepared for that possibility now. So as always, we'll need to proceed with caution and try very hard to find a way to solve our problems that doesn't involve violence.
[...For now......... once we've got Davy Jones' heart it's all over for you, Captain!!!!!!!!]
no subject
I'm curious--if you had one chance to get at Jack, what would you do?
[You know, as a last ditch effort kind of thing. How creative would you get, Yeager?]
no subject
I suppose it depends on the circumstances. Regardless, he's going to expect for me to rush him; I am ultimately a fairly straight-forward fighter, after all. My largest advantage in a fight is how unpredictable I can be because of my weapon, but that isn't a possibility here, given that my weapon isn't functioning properly. So assuming his information on all of us is as thorough as it seems to be, he'll know that I rely on unpredictability and my strength above all else.
[Expect the unexpected... and also expect a massive scythe to the face, in other words.]
He'll want to keep me at a distance, then; that would be safest. If I were to kill someone here and I were to be executed... well, I doubt he'd be willing to be on the deck where I could get at him without one of those dolls.
[He's mostly just thinking aloud at this point, but that gets him to pause and incline his head a bit.]
If I had one shot at him, I wouldn't want to go alone. I'd want someone else with me - make him think that I'm the only one who would attack him in that moment, and draw his attention - he may be able to stop one of us with a doll like that, but he may not have a second one.
[Of course, all of this is quiet, just in case the Captain's feeling like listening in on us today.]
no subject
Got a proper battle plan in mind, then.
[He pauses ever so slightly to think.]
The man is only one person--a powerful, dangerous one at that, but he's the only one standing between us and the end of this bloody game. If we just get a good idea of his defenses, what tricks he has up his sleeve...well, then we'll be sorted.
[He grimaces.]
Of course, all of this would be a hell of a lot easier with Jones on our side. I don't think we should be doin' anything while he still has power over him.
no subject
[If not more. It depends on how charitable the Captain's feeling, or exactly what his goal is and how many he needs alive, perhaps.]
Anyway, it's something to keep in mind, but hardly a proper plan just yet.
no subject
[Which, in this case, is to probably just go ham at Jack and see what happens. Fucking around and finding out.]
I'm hardly a fighter. At most, I'd just kick him in the balls and get out of the way for the people who know how to use swords. [A pause.] I do have a gun, but I have a funny feeling he's prepared in case he has an assassination attempt, what with being a CEO and all.
no subject
Given that he felt the need to set all this up in the first place, I'd assume he'd be prepared for just about anything. Presumably he's been keeping an eye on what we get out of that machine as well, since it seems he has no control over it. But with that said, it is possible he's overlooked that and won't expect a gun.
[The Captain's probably not as stupid as we like to assume... but is he really going to be prepared for a GUN???]
no subject
Frankly, a lot of things would be solved if we shot more CEOs in the face. But I think that'd be too kind of an end for Jack.
[The man's been a punk his whole life. What can he say?]

no subject
[Well, he would lift a glass, but...no drinking tonight, it seems.]
no subject
Not feeling like drinking tonight?
no subject
Nah. As much as I'd like to, the last time I either ended up face-down in the lazy river. Besides--I'd like my thoughts clear for now.
