Just what the hell is this?!

[Zarbon is wearing a lovely collar that strips him of his powers. And he is not happy.]

When I find the ones responsible for this outrage-...!

[He slams a fist against the wall and glares. He doesn't even finish the thought, just seethes.]

If you want this one, I invite you to take it.

[His tone is icy.]

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

And you like it less and less the more time you spend with it?

[Yep, curious pirate might just try to remove it.]

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

I didn't ask for it in the first place so I see no reason to keep it.

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

Then it wouldn't pain you to have it removed. I shall assist you....uh...what do I call you?

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

...Zarbon.

[He makes no effort to inquire about Jack's identity.]

Where shall I meet you?

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

The kitchen would be fine. There are plenty of accouterments to use that would perhaps aid and or set free your person from the confines of the accessory.

[Jack's not really caring whether or not anyone else knows what he's about to do but that collar sure has his attention.]

So be it.

[And so Zarbon finds his way to the kitchen to await the pirate who so bluntly offered to free him from his new shackle.]

[Jack entered the kitchen not too long after Zarbon got there and swaggered in as if he knew what he was doing. He inspected the collar and grabbed the first thing to try to break the lock. A butter knife.]

Do you have any idea who could have given you this....

[And as soon as he slipped the knife in the seams, his hand received a shock.]

OUCH!! By Benjamin's britches....what a terrible beastie of a collar!

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

[The shock is none too welcomed on Zarbon's end either.]

What do you think you're doing?!

[He swats Jack's hand back.]

I thought you were going to remove this thing.

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

I'm trying.

[Another shock and Jack's forced to drop the knife and sucks on his now singed knuckles.]

It bit me! It...doesn't want to come off.

Re: Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

Ah!

[Another shock? This time he kicks at Jack.]

Enough! Stop touching it! It's clear you have no idea what you're doing!

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

[Jack backs away and flails, getting clipped by that kick was enough to make him keep his distance.]

It's not my fault!

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

It was pointless to think this would work. If I couldn't remove it myself, why would one such as you be able?

[Frustrated sigh.]

There must be a different way to remove this collar.

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

Well, there could be many things that it isn't. Um....what about the woman that can make lighting?

[Oh god, that's a disaster and a half waiting to happen.]

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

A woman who can make lightning?

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

Tris...I believe her name is. I saw her making some storm a while back and lighting...which is rather hair raising.

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

I fail to see how that would remove the collar. If anything, it would only serve to conduct her electricity.

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

Oh....

[He looks slightly defeated but it couldn't be said that Jack didn't try. He gives a sheepish shrug.]

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

Ch'.

[Zarbon is clearly not happy.]

I can't be stuck like this...I have to find a way out of this collar.

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

[Remembering a few times when he saw Benjamin Franklin shock himself mildly when conducting his experiments, he got an idea.]

Perhaps we should wet it down. Spark it up and perhaps it'll fall away.

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

Again, that would result in further electrocution. I've had enough of that with your meddling already.

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

[Jack steps away, not turning his back to Zarbon and making sure that he's not put in any vulnerable position, he nods and moves toward the door, walking backward.]

Well, best of luck to you in your endeavor to remove that impending accessory.

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

[Have a teal man frowning at you, Jack.]

That's it? That's the end of your suggestions?

[Snort.]

I see I made a mistake.

Action

[9th-pirate-lord.livejournal.com]

[Stopping just at the door, he tilts his head in confusion and grins.]

Ah, and ideas are a plenty though most wouldn't be none to pleasant on your part. Such as removing your head would surely remove the accessory though I would imagine you like your head where it is, eh?

Action

[beautiful-brute.livejournal.com]

....

[Scoff.]

I give up. Be on your way.
