TIME FOR A YACHT PARTY, HOW FUN (video + action)

[villainously]

( this is far from his first "event" in Wonderland, but somehow that doesn't make it any easier. he's seen a lot of demented creatures in his lifetime, that simply happens when you're as old as he is. he's not interested in sticking around to let them gnaw on him, and he's got a very good escape route to get away from the madness. )

Listen. I don't know what these things are, but I'm willing to bet they can't swim. If you can get to the docks, we're taking off in under an hour.

( he doesn't know most of the people trapped here, but he's not heartless. his ship could get rather cramped, but when it's life or death on the line, he'll take anyone who wants the shelter. )

If you damage my ship you'll be fixing it yourself. Worry less about what you're bringing and more about getting here safely.

( that's it, that's the message; he probably won't talk too much to anyone that responds, other than to answer questions. )

ＡＣＴＩＯＮ

When the man says an hour, he really means it. As soon as everyone pertinent is aboard, including some individuals he wasn't exactly expecting (a friend of the people he cared about was good enough to grant passage), the ship sets sail. It's easier to get The Jolly Roger moving when there's more than just one person running about her decks. Don't know how to sail? Well, get ready for a crash course lesson, because all hands on deck.

After that, it's more or less a waiting game. There's a barrier to protect the ship and after that, it's up to the people aboard to keep themselves entertained. There's more food than one would expect, between the pirate and the stores people brought along. One can expect to eat, though perhaps not eat well. When it's survival on the line, though, do you have any room to complain?

There's not a great deal to keep one entertained, though. There are hammocks to sleep in in the crew quarters, a deck to walk and places to explore. The captain's quarters are very much so off limits and if he finds you there he'll be displeased. There are a few games, trinkets, things here or there. Maybe you can get some lessons in sailing or swordsmanship while you're aboard... Make the most of it, because it's hard telling how long you'll be stuck on the steadily rocking decks.

( ooc: use this post as desired for ship shenanigans! if you want the pirate involved in an action, please say so in the title! otherwise use it as an open to interact with each other as you see fit. )

He hasn't really considered how lucky he is in this. To have basically every familiar face that matters, and more than a few that don't. Many people didn't have that luxury, and he's not sure what he'd do with himself if he didn't have it.

Killian nods, though, expression a little convoluted. Surrogate family is about all he knows, since he's lost his. "That it does." He can tell that surrogate family of hers involves the people he considers to matter most to him, so he doesn't hesitate too much in offering, "A friend of my friends is a friend of mine." Though Regina barely counted as a friend, he'd be generous in this particular instance.

"I appreciate that. Not easy making friends past a certain age," she teases with a slight smirk but one that doesn't make it to her eyes, not right now.

The other Killian had switched lives with her, knew about her losses, intimately, knew about the son who'd been torn apart. He knew that her promise to Regina was mostly about being an extra set of eyes for Henry, at least initially before friendship grew between the two of them. But this version doesn't know Michonne the same way, they don't have a moment that bonded them. She doesn't particularly want to catch him up to speed for that part, either.

"I do remember that rum goes over well with you." Although, not a stretch because, pirate, but still. "When all this is over, I'm happy to have a drink." All of this makes her wonder what she'd do if someone from home arrived pre-meeting her, and it makes her nervous, makes her want to reconnect with Killian if she can.

that should be seven for her so I am gonna wrap here!

"Well, for some people. Pirates are gifted at making friends, though unfortunately they're equally as gifted at making enemies." He looked mildly bemused by that for a moment, but shakes it off quickly. Oh well, love him or hate him, that seemed to be how things generally went. Fact was he didn't manage to make friends particularly easy, but of course his easy arrogance was always easier to fall back on.

"We'll be good friends indeed if you keep up with the rum," he smirks easily, shaking his head. He doesn't share her thoughts, how could he? Still, the idea of making a connection that is close to the people he worries about most — especially one so capable — seems a wise investment of his attention. With that he touched his temple, giving her a lazy salute, before he went off on his way.

He was the captain, after all, and the captain was never short of tasks to do when his ship was at sea.
