We didn't choose the pirate life

What: Pirate Crew Meet & Greet
When: 5/27
Where: Bellona Theater
Warnings None yet




Everyone at some point will get an invite to the theater, either pressed into their hand or shoved under their door. The stage is set with black curtains hanging in the background and on each seat there will be a little gift basket with a black ribbon, a name, a candy bar and a black pen with a little spiral notebook.

In each notebook, Stede has written a little note of encouragement. He will wait for them all to find their seats before he begins.

"What, really?" Lucius asks and suddenly the spell of escalating flirting is broken. He had only made the offer as an aside but...

"I could actually use a few models. Platonic, if thats how you all would prefer it. Be sure to ask them for me."

"Oh, certainly," Watson says, surprised. "I think they're both rather handsome, after all, and would make excellent subjects, but... no, I'll mention it to them, if you'd like."

[draughtsman]

"Yes, please," Lucius says and resists the urge to point out that everyone is handsome in some way. Watson is a nice fellow and his occasional uncomfortable stumbling is charming. Lucius is not quite sure he'd get the idea, but that's fine. Not everybody does.

"If you all pose together I'll have to find some paints and a canvas, so do give me a heads' up, yeah?"

[lightconductor]

Now, that surprises him. No one has ever offered to paint his portrait. Even photographs have been a bit of a luxury for much of his life, though that's changin.

"I won't hold you to anything," Watson says, smiling, "but that's kind of you, really."

[draughtsman]

Watson. You can't just...say things like that to a man. Watson he gives you the most pained look at that. He wants to say something flirty back but they'll get caught in a loop of flirting for the sake of it and he really should finish cleaning.

"Goodbye Doctor, don't forget your gift basket," he reminds and with absolutely uncharacteristic restraint, avoids complaining about how Watson refuses to hold him to anything.
