sortinghat_logs | Pirates say AAARRRRRRR

WHO: Dirk Strider, Murdoc Donoghue, and you!
TONE: Fun!
RATING: PG-13
WHEN: 28 September
WHERE: School wide
WHAT: PIRATES aka cute pretendy fun times
STATUS: Ongoing

It started like a typical meeting for supplementary lessons. Dirk wasn't even one of Murdoc's students. Murdoc didn't even teach potions, and yet here they were. Murdoc knew enough, and Dirk wanted to learn more. For some unknown reason, Dirk liked being around Murdoc so this arrangement worked well enough. But then Dirk's imagination got the best of him. He was daydreaming a la Jack Sparrow when, without even realising it, he started seriously thinking of himself as a real life pirate! Abruptly, he pushed his book aside and stood on the table, arms akimbo. "Arr, Captain! Let's go find some booty!"
_{[OOC: So yeah, playing pretend is extreme. Dirk and Murdoc will be going through the school... acting like pirates, ect. Unless you specify in the thread header who your tag is directed to, they're free game. I imagine there will be a lot of threadhopping.]}

[David has no idea what the hell is going on anymore. All he knows is that he's suddenly not only alive again, but also stuck in the school that his brother went to all those years ago - that his son and his nephew go to now.

Whatever's going on he wants to be spending time with his family, damnit, because with how Dirk (his brother Dirk) and the rather attractive nurse in the hospital wing had behaved, he's not sure how long this will last. Matters have been complicated by the disappearance of his son, so he's gone looking for him.

He was not expecting this.]

_{[It's okay, David. As soon as Dirk imagined himself into being a pirate, he didn't expect this either. He's in the middle of lugging a locked chest he found down the hall. He hasn't opened it yet, but it obviously has something valuable in it. He needs to get it to the ship!

He stops when he sees his Dad though. He almost starts wondering if he's going to get in trouble. But he's a pirate. Pirates don't care if they get in trouble! But it's his dad.]}

Daddy, you're stronger. You should help me with this.

[For the second time, David has to pull his shades down to make sure he's seeing correctly.

He's quiet for a few seconds, before the corner of his lips quirks up in a smile, and he shrugs off his suit jacket, slinging it over top of the chest.]

Where we taking it, sport?

_{[Dirk beams. With this extra manpower, they can get the chest out of here in no time! Maybe his dad will agree to being a pirate too.]}

We're taking it to the ship. It's right on the edge of the lake.

[Not as soon as he sees that his 11-year-old son is being taken advantage of by a 35-year-old man, he won't.

He hefts the chest up with a soft grunt.]

You gotta lead the way, I don't know heads or tails of this place.

Okay, don't worry. I'm a first mate. I know how to navigate really well! We're not that far from the exit of the castle, anyway. Not the main one, but one close enough and there's a clear shot to the ship from there. I don't know how far it is though, but maybe like a kilometre? And then when we get to the ship we can try to eat limes! They're reeeaally sour but arr, we won't be gettin' the scurvy!

_{[The whole time Dirk is rambling, he's leading the way out of the building. He decides that it's a bit chilly so he just tugs at David's jacket until he gets it off the chest and puts it on. PIRATES DON'T ASK FIRST.]}
