the_dala at 06:59pm on 23/04/2004Dialogue between the Pearl and her evil twin-spirit-thingy as he is torturing James, just because I'm a tease and I'm bored. I think I'm starting to get exactly what the Pearl is in this weird little PotC/Buffyverse. But it's still all vague and it's just dialouge.
“I will be flesh. This flesh."
“No. I am afraid you won’t.”
“He is weak, mortal, human. He cannot last forever.”
“He does not fight for himself. He fights for love.”
“Love? A human construct. It matters not. And who is his love, anyhow? That man who leaves him every time they couple, and no wonder; it is a messy, ungainly act. The man to whom you chain yourself, a slave to his waters and whims.”
“I am not his slave. And he is here now, watching over.”
“It’s only a question of time. They all betray one another in the end.”
“He is loyal. For ten years he searched for me.”
“Inconsequential notion of time. The blink of an eye.”
“Not to them.”
“Ah, but would his faith falter if he knew how you fought him? If he knew that it was you put your forked tongue to the envious one’s ear and whispered of mutiny?”
“It was the beginning. I didn’t understand. When I was bound by the curse, I knew what suffering was and I saw how he would have cared for me, if I only had not been so proud.”
“So you stay, haunting a dead hunk of wood, when you could wield such power as the world has never seen – you and I together, think what we could do!”
“I have my own power, brother.”
“And yet you can do nothing to help this man he loves. You were born of darkness, the ones beholden to nothing. Being joined to the ship was meant to be temporary, a punishment. The confinement of the curse ought to have made you scream all the louder at your captor.”
“You cannot not understand what it means to be named.”
“Do you hate me, then?”
“No, I feel only pity for you. Hatred I’ll leave to him.”
“His will be the first blood I spill when this mind is broken.”
“We shall see.”
Oooh, lovely summer rainstorm ::frolics::
