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.]

Comments

[lostpunk]

I've never met you before. But that doesn't matter. Lost Boys and pirates have always been enemies. That's just how it goes.

[He draws out his sword, recently retrieved.]

Now I get to kill you.

[all7seas]

Really. Has it struck you, Lost Person, that possibly I am not highly killable?

[lostpunk]

Won't know until we try, will we?

[all7seas]

You're......you're not going to try, son. It's not worth you gettin' all beat up and miserable over, so why not just drop this fool's errand here and now, eh?

[lostpunk]

I'm the best with a sword out of all the Lost Boys. Why are you so sure you're gonna be the one winning?

[all7seas]

Because I'm Captain Jack Sparrow and I've never heard of your bloody lost boys! How'd they get so lost, anyway? Why do they hate pirates so?

[lostpunk]

I'm Rufio, former leader of the Lost Boys, and I've never heard of you. I only know one captain, and his name is Hook.

We've always fought. Hook probably started it.

[all7seas]

[Wait a minute wait a minute here...]

Hook? Not......James Hook?

[Because now things were making more sense.]

[lostpunk]

That's the scumbucket, alright.

[He's only somewhat insulted that Hook is a familiar name, but his isn't.]

[all7seas]

Captain James Hook. [Look at how much he both IS and is not believing this.] Has one hand that's a hook. Tall chap. Squiggly black hair. Oddly pointy mustache?

[lostpunk]

Are there any other Hooks? Of course that's 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.
