[OPEN] i'm taking back the crown
Who: "Jeff" & anyone who wants to visit
What: Jail :(
When: Mid-month (immediately after this post) til... end of month? What's time anymore, I don't know
Where: The Brig :(
Warnings: Possible references to violence, possession, character death
Notes: it's pretty likely that there's somebody guarding the brig at any given time, even if they're not explicitly mentioned, so things aren't likely to go off the rails here. hit me up at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
weeyotch / weeyotch#8200 if you want to plot anything specific!
I see what's mine and take it
Ughhhhhhh. The brig! Is! So! Boring!! How is it, after two-and-whatever years trapped in this hellhole (plus or minus a year, decade, century, whatever, who knows how long it's been since he shuffled off to the great Nothing), this is his first time seeing the inside of the brig? Back on his cruise, if he acted up too much, and someone had to put him down? They went ahead and did it.
But not this time. No, now he's just sitting in a cell, dying of boredom, because the passengers don't have the balls to kill him.
But hey, you know what? Silver linings, looking at the bright side, turning lemons into lemonade, whatever: At least he doesn't have to pretend to be Jeff anymore.
Anyone who comes and visits (interrogates?) him will find that while he may look like sweet, simple, stupid Jeff, everything about him-- the way he moves, the way he speaks, the expressions on this face-- he's all Chase Collins.
Not that... not that anyone knows who Chase Collins is. But, well, if you want to find out, now's your chance.

After warning Crichton in advance, Nobunaga does his best to make sure no one else is too aware, and grabs a chair across from not!Jeff, sitting on it backwards. It's been... a long time since he did anything remotely close to interrogations. Even if Hideyoshi could be convinced it wasn't too dangerous for Nobunaga (personally and politically publicly facing), Mitsuhide was just better at it. Situations are reversed here. Mitsuhide would have to be the public face now. How strange to think. Idly, Nobunaga wonders if their personalities would even be able to handle such a dramatic shift.
"Hello." He politely nods his head, as close to a bow as he can get.
There's no point in pretending... anything really. Normally Nobunaga would have to pretend he doesn't care about anyone or anything other than his mission. That Jeff and Crichton were but pawns to be played as however was useful, but that pretense itself isn't useful here. It's a strange calculation and even stranger to realize Nobunaga doesn't have to pretend he doesn't care about the ghost possessing Jeff either.
"We weren't properly introduced before. I'm Nobunaga Oda, Demon King of the 6th Heaven, and I'm going to free the ghosts." Whatever that meant. "I don't expect your cooperation, but I would appreciate it." He does expect to get laughed at, but that's not too new. It had been a few years, but maybe that was all just a warm up to something bigger. "What can you tell me about how you came to take over this body? Does it have to do with souls?" There's a Billy Joel song about that.
The danger of Jeff's magic being used on Nobunaga isn't lost on him. Which is why he told Crichton at least that he was coming. So if Nobunaga did anything crazy, at least one person would know and be able to handle it. Probably. There is also a risk that he's vastly overestimating his capacity to handle things despite his complete unfamiliarity to magic, ghosts, and all the rest.

And anyway, he doesn't know this guy, but he knows Jeff liked him. Which: big deal, Jeff liked everybody. Even Max, in spite of how obviously the Omnic couldn't stand him. As far as Chase is concerned, though, there's no reason to trust a regular human guy who actually calls himself a demon king, especially when he claims he's going to 'free the ghosts.'
Come on. 'Freeing' them can mean so many things.
So: Chase shrugs, looking totally innocent, and not even remotely trying to seem sincere about it.
"No idea."

"Did the Captain offer you a deal?"
Well, at least he wasn't laughed at, that's a good sign, maybe?!
no subject
"Why don't we skip the stupid questions, and you tell me what your theory is."
no subject
"I have two." More than that actually, but two he was willing to voice for being the least fucking mental of them. Which will go to show how crazy the ones he doesn't want to say are! "One is that the ghosts of this ship have started to exercise their own authority over their actions and the Captain offered bodies of the passengers in exchange for quashing the rebellion. The other is that Captain stopped using you as--" Nobunaga rolled a hand in a circle, "Energy fuel, and by the process, some of you were able to gain enough power to take the opportunity and seize the moment." A nod. And before not!Jeff could continue: "I suggest you do not lie to me, as it will only trip yourself up, and the others like you. The evidence will speak for itself."
no subject
"You're absolutely right. We're all tight with the Captain." He twists two fingers together to demonstrate just how tight they are, in fact! Of course, he doesn't even remotely try to sound convincing. "It's such a relief to finally admit it."
no subject
"Ohhhh, so the other ghosts are mad at you for possibly drawing his attention with things like this," a nod. "I hadn't expected that." He mentally shifts his whole mental puzzle pieces again to try to adjust the board and correct the connections and shape of it. "Do you know all of the others who are possessed?"
no subject
Especially one as sappy as Jeff was. He could barely manage to play nice for a week, back at Spenser, and even then, he couldn't stop himself from poking at people whenever he could, all under the guise of just being the friendly new kid. (Seriously, it was so much fun, getting a rise out of Pogue just by playing gay bff to his girlfriend--)
"Yeah. Got a piece of paper? I'll write you a list."
Please do it. Please give him a pen and paper.
no subject
He assumes what will be written is a form of Fuck you, or a phallus. Or more lies, of course to create paranoia and suspicion among each other.
no subject
--okay, fine, he only ignores the shiv because he's got magic, and that's always going to be his weapon of choice. Besides, what he's really interested in is the paper and pen-- glitter gel? Takes him back to middle school. Hell yeah, he approves.
With a solemn nod, he gets to writing. A number, a name, another number, another name... How dare you brace yourself for a dick or obscenities, Chase isn't that crass and vulgar! He comes from old money, and thus he must hold himself to a higher standard and conduct himself a certain way if he wants to make Arthur and Gillian Collins proud!
"Here."
The note he passes back is pretty simple and totally witty. It just reads:
no subject
Nobunaga just begins cheerfully doodling a castle around the words. "What can you tell me of your time on the ship before the Captain used you up? And got bored of you? Or was it that you got too exhausted for his games?"
