Bizly: Yeah.

Arlin: Do I even want to know how you got here?

Chip: Probably not. But I'm here. It's me.

Grizzly: He's massive. So he just kind of sits down on this little board that leads up to the Midnight Rose. And there's no one else, it's just you two. He says,

Arlin: Well, tell me about it. Tell me- Tell me how great of a pirate you've become. Must have to make it all the way down here.

Chip: I've got a good crew.

Arlin: I bet you do.

Chip: Jay, she was actually part of the Navy, but...

Arlin: Where have I heard that one before? [laughs]

Chip: She's Drey's niece. And then Gillion, Finn's grandson.

Arlin: Strange- Strange how, I suppose fate would pull you together that way.

Chip: I- Brought me here.

Arlin: Sometimes it feels like the goddesses, if they're real, whatever force in the world, is pulling one big prank on us.

Chip: All the time. [chuckles]

Arlin: You know what I always tell you? The best thing you can do in moments like these is find a reason to laugh.

Chip: I never stopped.

Grizzly: He leans forward and just kind of like, puts a hand on you.

Arlin: Yeah. Yeah.

Chip: Listen, we gotta get you out of here.

Grizzly: You say that, and he winces.

Arlin: Yeah. I can feel something just hit me. What was that? Listen, Chip, this thing, this thing that's inside this egg we found. I think if it gets out, it's gonna doom the world, a lot of good people. So I've been trying my best to hold on, not let anyone get close enough to break-

Chip: To break it?

Arlin: To break it or keep the egg open, to let it open any further than what happened.

Chip: Why? Why? What is- But if you break it, it's destroyed, right?

Arlin: What I just felt- It's probably powerful enough to destroy it, but...

Chip: What happens when it gets destroyed?

Arlin: If it's possible. You know, while we have the time, I want to hear more about this crew.

Chip: We got plenty of time. We just...

Arlin: How long have you held onto that?

Grizzly: He looks at the coin in your hand.

Chip: Too long.

Arlin: Sometimes we're just- We're just dealt odds like that. Sometimes you pick heads, and you win. Other times- Other times, it lands on tails. I don't want this thing getting out into the world, my boy, and this- Whoever's out there trying to destroy it, I think they might, and it's gonna take me with it.

Chip: [puts his head in his hands] Oh, no.

Grizzly: It looks like he's trying to be that figure that is like-

Bizly: I know what he's trying to do. Yeah, I think at this point, if I know that breaking the egg is going to kill him, I would just get up from where I am and just say,

Chip: We have to stop it then. 'Cause Gillion's gonna break it. We thought that would be the only- Gillion!

Grizzliy: Your voice, like echoes in the sea.

Bizly: Just yell out a couple more times.

Arlin: Chip, settle down.

Chip: No, there has to- There has to be a way. Gillion, please!

Arlin: Settle down, boy. Sit down.

Chip: Why are you so calm about this?

Arlin: I'm not finished talking to you. All right, it's- Look, I- I think if it comes down to it and you really can destroy it, even if it takes me, we have to, right? Because if you half-ass this just to save me and that thing gets released- I know what I'm asking is impossible. Hell, if I were you, I wouldn't want it to happen either.

Bizly: I'll just go back and sit down then.

Arlin: So you can go back out there if you want, and we can fill them in on the options because they're not great, or we can spend this time-

Bizly: I think pretty immediately, I'd get up and start to rush over to where I could leave. And just before I'd leave, I'd stop.

Grizzly: Yeah, if you run off the plank, you can feel that- You can leave this. Like, you can exit that way.

Bizly: Yeah.

Chip: There's uh... There's Earl. He's an old guy who really likes juice. And every time we land somewhere, we have to go and get him some kind of fruit. And he smashes it with his feet.

Grizzly: He lets out like a big hearty laugh at that one.

Chip: We found Finn's book.

Arlin: [laughs]

Chip: Me and his grandson.

Arlin: No!

Chip: We got stuck reading it.

Arlin: No! Really?

Chip: He read it out loud to me. I don't think he understood all the words. I did.

Bizly: I'll turn back around and just walk back to him.

Chip: There's Ollie. He's this little kid who just got stowed away on a ship. We took him on, and I tried to make my own little Chip, and it was not very good. I got him hurt and then did everything I could to fix it, but fix one thing, ten other things break. It's just one thing after another. Alphonse. He's a cowboy robot. And then he became our ship.

Arlin: Ran into a few of those.

Chip: We have a ship. I had a ship. It was called the Big Chipper. It was kind of the best ship there was. But then we got a better one. It's called the Albatross. And we have a flag. Check this out.

Bizly: And I want to- Can I get, like, a dagger? Is there a dagger?

Grizzly: Yeah.

Bizly: Okay, I just want-

Grizzly: You've got it.

Bizly: Carve it. Carve the symbol in the wood and show him.

Chip: Up here, it's like- Okay. So Gillion has, it's like coral. So that's for Gillion. And then the wings are for Jay. And then there's a Chip in the skull 'cause [he points at himself], huh? Okay.

Arlin: Clever boy.

Chip: And we're called- Wait for it- The Riptide Pirates.

Arlin: Really?

Chip: Yeah. But we're all captains. But I'm, like, the most captain.

Arlin: Is that so?

Chip. Yeah. And then- And then- Okay. There's Queen. They're cursed. And they have to sing most things. And, like, can't stop singing all the time. It's a huge problem, but it's kind of fun.

Arlin: There's an island of people like that.

Chip: What?

Arlin: Yeah.

Chip: That's probably good to know, actually.

Arlin: Musical Island.

Chip: Gryffon. He's a bounty hunter.

Arlin: They have those now?

Chip: Yeah.

Arlin: Times change.

Chip: He's a giant panda. Big panda man.

Arlin: Ah, I think I remember a village filled with panda folk.

Chip: Might be where he's from. And then Drey, I mean, he's with us.

Arlin: He made it out?

Chip: Mm.

Arlin: So some of them survived.

Chip: They both did. Although Finn was a bird for a while. We called him Apple. Also thought it was a girl bird.

Arlin: That crazy old fart. Pretty sure his magic's the only reason they made it out.

Chip: [laughs] He's nuts, he's nuts.

Arlin: That's even more reason why there's gotta be a world for them to live in.

Chip: I know. I just don't want you to go.

Arlin: You're a captain now, though. What's it mean to be a captain? I never quite made it to that rank.

Chip: It means making the hard decision, even when it hurts. Looking out for your crew. [His voice breaks] You could still be on it. We could figure something out.

Arlin: It's a high price to pay, the world for our little crew. I won't tell you what to do but...

Chip: I know. I know.

Arlin: We had our time.

Chip: There are so many times I just wanted you to tell me what to do. I just wanted you to be there, to laugh when I did something stupid. And I was mad that you weren't. You made me. You gave me my name, a home. I want to walk out there so bad. [He starts to cry] I can't. I can't. I know I can't.

Grizzly: He grabs your hand that has the coin.

Arlin: I'm here now. We're here now. It's gonna be all right because I can see it. I can see that you're gonna be- You're gonna be better. You're gonna have great, great goddamn adventures and stories to tell. You're gonna make people laugh. You're gonna take care of your crew because that's what a captain does.

Chip: Okay. Okay.

Arlin: You're gonna live, and everyone else is gonna live.

Chip: Thanks for being my dad.

Grizzly: He starts to crack.

Arlin: I wish I could have seen more, but thank the waves that I was able to do enough to be so proud of who I see in front of me right now.

Chip: It's nice here.

Arlin: It is, being on the sea. There's no

Chip: place I'd rather be.

Grizzly: Are you gonna stay in this mental memory?

Bizly: I'm not-

Grizzly: Are you gonna leave and try and-

Bizly: I'm not leaving.

Grizzly: Okay. You're not leaving.

Bizly: I'm just gonna take what I can get.

Jay deals with night terrors, Chip deals with nightmares, so they might as well seek the other out for comfort

Based on my headcanon that Chip and Jay cuddle to comfort each other from nightmares/night terrors

Because that just happened to me

The one-shot was basically going to be the character falling from grace, losing a part of themself, and realizing that they didn't lose anything in the first place type of shit and instead... I got the main character literally forgets themself as well as the names of all the important beings in their life and some other shit happens and they're good with their friends and have all of their memories back, like-?

I WAS ROLEPLAYING A SCENARIO AND I SPAT THAT OUT I FUCKING LOVE THAT LINE SO MUCH, HOLY SHIT. IT'S SO BADASS, LIKE WHAT?!

I love my silly guys! Lemme know what you guys think about them! Also, I have a name for the story these 3 are in! It's called The Timekeeper, so here's a quick synopsis:

This world is full of people with magic connected to the elements. But there was always tension between the groups that led to wars across the world. Only the Timekeeper, the most powerful of them all, could prevent such destruction. But there hasn't been a new one in years.

As for Tate, they're struggling to get through school after their grandfather passed, giving them the pocket watch that they wear around their neck. So when Jimmy, their best friend, and the rest of their class have a trip planned to go across the seas, they hope that this will be the thing that finally helps them power through the grief.

Instead, everything takes a huge turn for Tate and Jimmy, leaving the fate of the world in their hands.
