#date everything jacques

(// I couldve sworn I answered this sorry—)

Aye? That’s wonderful!

Jacques grins, absolutely beaming at the idea someone would want to dress as him!

That means you’re almost 66 percent of the way there friend! I cannot wait to see how you pull this off!

Eh, if you round it up it’s.. 67 percent.. yknow cause haha six seve-

No. No we are not stooping that low, vampire.

…yeah fair.

Anyways do keep me updated! It’s always a pleasure to hear how your costume of the greatest captain alive is coming along!!

Aye!

Jacque grins, as if he’s thought of this question a million times before.

I believe it’s a serious matter, friend. See, the vampire here has ‘is own problems and I can’t help but feel the need to want t’ learn! So, I did my best, and.. quite frankly it’s a lot. It matters, and should be well taken care of! And by any means, take care of it! Eh- so long as it’s healthy. I’ve been warned some people ain’t got the best ways to do that.

*i get out my sketchbook and a pencil, drawing up a map of the house and marking some points.*

…we’ll make the “treasure” be in a set of boxes protected by beau, so the hanks would have to engage with her! which would give us extra time to… fortify the ship maybe?

*i hesitate, suddenly unsure of the idea. is it too stupid?*

…maybe she won’t even come by after that, since the hanks are always really energetic. they might even get her to go hank-gliding with them. and then drumstick would be safe, right?

whether she comes by or not doesn’t matter, because nobody’s taking drumstick away from you, not if i have anything to say about it.

-B

Jacques nods, anxiety seeming to relax a bit.

You’re right! No matter what they’ll leave us and poor drumstick alone, hahah! And maybe we’ll fortify their ship too, a good message to be left behind!

-B

I..

He looks nervous, stumbling to come up with any kind of plan.

You’re right! There’s always a counter plan, I don’t let enemies get away with this!

He’s trying to seem calm, but he’s anxious. He’s clearly attached to drumstick, and even the idea of losing him makes him panic.

Alright, I got it. The hanks love their adventure, so how about we leave a treasure map that’ll lead them all around the house only to give em nothing? Hah! A fine plan I say!

That’s wonderful! Now ye have more time on your hands to join me on poseidons dark waters!

Jacques laughs, visibly excited to have more time with his crew.

captain! i found something! …had to trade with cam to get it, but- here, you can just read it.

*the paper is full of a surprisingly well detailed plan to “bird-nap” drumstick as a way to distract the captain enough to steal his ship.*

-B

Aye? What have you found friend?

He takes the note with a smile, but it quickly drops as he looks stunned.

They wanted t’ what?! Now- now this goes beyond sea level lad! My Drumstick isn’t bein birdnapped by anyone!

He huffs, but it’s clear he doesn’t want to lose Drumstick.

They’re gonna have to get through me to get ‘im, and that ain’t gonna be easy with me crew on deck..

Well, y’see friend…

He chuckles, looking down and shaking his head.

Me n’ beau are uh.. not fond o’ each other on the seven seas. We ain’t enemies outside of it, don’t worry! Just eh, on the seas rules are quite different and.. travelers typically don’t get along with pirate captains.
