[If you are wondering why the image on the screen is dark and grainy, there's a perfectly good explanation for it! No light inside a sandworm's gaping maw, bros.

There's a bit of shuffling, and OH THERE'S THE LIGHT- Jack just yanked his head back.

It's only natural to get curious about what things look like in there, especially when your wormy friend is being so obliging!!!!!]

Why, if I didn't know any better, I'd mistake you for a cozy cave! A cave with...plenty of teeth? But your teeth are lovely, of course.

[That earns him the equivalent of a nuzzle, which effectively winds him and knocks him flat on his back.

The worm whisperer, folks.]

[ OKAY, PICKING HIMSELF UP NOW. NICE AND EASY. ]

...Jack? Would you mind exiting the... sand worm for a moment? There is something I would like to ask you in privacy. With no offence to your new - friend.

[Is this a Gone with the Wind moment. How romantic. In any case, give him a minute to collect himself.]

Oh, she's harmless really. [wheeeeeeeeeeeeeezeeeeeeeeeeeeeee] What- can I do for you, Gil?

[a_parting_word]

[ ....of course it's a girl. ]

I thought to say - I'm no one to intrude between the two of you, but I thought it was a matter to which I'd best bring your attention. Jack, I don't know whether you've noticed, but your friend is a... flesh-loving, vicious, rabid predator.

[people assign their vehicles with genders, why can't the same be done for sandworms, huh?

he nods solemnly just the same]

I'm sure she's all of those things you mentioned, and I am grateful you consider my well-being of tantamount importance, but...just look at her, Gil. There's such majesty about her, and I imagine she'd provide excellent cover during a storm.

Jack Vessalius?!



[ this is nightray territory, gtfo B( ]

oh hi 8)

[baitswitch]

[oh, looks like we have guests!!! perhaps he ought to try to not look guilty? hmmmm.]

Fancy seeing you here, Elliot!

[forhishonor]

[ asdkfalsdf don't be so forward with his name!! ]

What are you doing here!

[ things the nightrays don't learn at birth: manners ]

[baitswitch]

[lol. you're cute.]

That's a question better posed to the deities, I think. Either that, or I merely chose the wrong road to wander down.

[worldofourown]

You there!

Are you mad?

[Said the pot to the kettle.]

lawl

[baitswitch]

[GOODNESS DON'T SNEAK UP ON A PERSON LIKE THAT WHEN HE'S INVOLVED IN A DELICATE OPERATION.]

It's entirely possible. Though a little madness adds a bit of charm, wouldn't you say?

[worldofourown]

Not when it involves sticking one's head into the maw of a beast!

[Said with no consideration to the poor Beastie's feelings.]

Do you want to die?

[Because he could totally help you with that :|b]

[baitswitch]

Dying isn't high on my list of priorities, no.

[he's already dead anyway hurrrr]

But you must admit my friend here has quite the exceptional mouth!

[ oh thank god Liam is alive long enough to see this! He's a Jack Vessalius Fanboy ]

[haring_to_go]

[ ... but why in the world is Master Jack's head in a worm? ]

[haring_to_go]

[ OH GOD. THAT WAS THE WORM THAT ATE HIM THE OTHER DAY ]

[ video ]

[haring_to_go]

Jack, get away from that thing!

[ video ]

[baitswitch]

[It's like you people all want him to die again. DO NOT SPEAK LOUDLY WHILE A MAN'S HEAD IS INSIDE A SANDWORM'S MOUTH.]

Liam? Whatever is the matter?

[ video ]

[haring_to_go]

[ THEY want him dead? Think of their poor fragile nerves who have to watch! ]

That... you! That thing just wants to eat you!

[baitswitch]

[MAN UP, BRO]

Oh, don't be silly. She wouldn't hurt a-

[.........]

Well, she would hurt more than a fly but I'd imagine she has more important things to worry about than hunting flies.
