So there's all sorts of people here, right? Got all kinds of crazy powers and stuff?

[Rufio is sitting in the center of town on the edge of the fountain, munching on an apple he's just nabbed out of the grocers. (The whole imaginary food thing wasn't working out for him so well out of Neverland.) He wishes the store was manned, in a way. There isn't much of a thrill pilfering food this way.]

Which ones of you don't age?

[Because he's realizing that in this place that list isn't going to include him.]

[all7seas]

I know him. He's a complete and utter hook-handed pointy-mustached bastard.

[lostpunk]

Ha! Ain't he?

But I figured you worked with him.

[all7seas]

Worked with? Pirates don't work with each other! We slit each other's throats and make off with the booty. You clearly know nothing of pirates, son!

[lostpunk]

I know Hook had a whole crew that did everything he told them to. And I told you there weren't any other captains in Neverland that I was aware of.

[all7seas]

I, CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow, am NOT a member of James Hook's crew.

[lostpunk]

Well I don't know how you've heard of him, but we haven't heard of each other.

Unless this is part of that whole issue with time and you took over as captain after Hook is killed or something.

[all7seas]

I didn't know him so well, really. Me dad did. When I were younger. Captained the Jolly Roger?

[lostpunk]

Yep. Same Hook. Don't see how there could be any other just like him.

[all7seas]

The devil broke his foul iron mold on THAT one, eh? [This is Jack attempting to break the ice a little more. Probably he would have had a lot in common with the Lost Boys when he himself was an actual boy.]

[lostpunk]

Heh. Sure did.

That still makes you a pirate, though, which means I can't trust you.

[all7seas]

No. No, you cannot trust me. That's a nugget of wisdom, if you like.

[lostpunk]

At least you're honest about your dishonesty.

[all7seas]

........Or am I?

[lostpunk]

Either you're being honest about being dishonest, or dishonest about being honest. Either way makes you a liar.

[all7seas]

..................Or does it?

[lostpunk]

Well now you're just being a turd.

[all7seas]

Mmhmm. Welcome to Luceti, son. It only gets worse from here.

[lostpunk]

And you still won't come out and fight me.

[all7seas]

Not one for engaging in pitched combat, me. Not if I don't have to.

[lostpunk]

How is that ever any fun?

[all7seas]

Less fighting? Leaves more time for loving. And treasure.

[lostpunk]

Is there even any treasure to be found in a place like this?

[all7seas]

No. Not really anything much.

[lostpunk]

So how are you treasure hunting?

[all7seas]

With a large measure of difficulty, really. 'S not such an easy thing to do in the best of times, with treasure spurting up from the ground around you. Here? [Nope. Here is hard.]
