[Alright, the experiment was weird, but he survived and now he has a more pressing problem. This...egg. The very egg that he's had strapped to himself in a backpack for the last month. Wtf does he do now?]

Anybody know how long it takes for babies ta' come outta eggs?

[For the action inclined, Beat's out around town, just rolling on his skateboard to avoid going to school with the egg in its backpack.]

Aight...Why you meet up wit' zombies, huh? Don't they smell bad?

Erm.......no one on the Queen Anne's Revenge smelled particularly not-bad, now that I think about it. You don't notice when you're amongst 'em and smelling bad yourself. But the zombified ones smelled different. Dark and cloying magic clung to 'em. Fresh dirt. Smelled like fresh graves.

Well I ain't smellin' like dirt, aight? I shower in the mornin', yo.

Settle down, settled down--we've already agreed you're not a zombie. 'S a good thing in the end, lad. More better to be not-dead than to be undead, I'll wager. What was the price?

voice

The price a' what?

voice

[all7seas]

Of coming back? Of being not-dead? Must be some kind of price paid, mustn't there?

voice

Oh.

[Right.]

I dunno. Neva' found out.

voice

[all7seas]

I don't wish to pry, of course. Just...curiosity, you see. I have it.

voice

[skater-brain.livejournal.com]

Naw, s'alright. I jus' don' know it. Suppose ta' be somethin' important or whateva', but I dunno. You gotta pay to play the Reaper's Game and if you lose, tha's it, yo. Lights out.

[And that sounds something like how ordinary life is, to Jack Sparrow. But:] Enjoy being here while you can, then, I suppose.
