A Simple Trade

Gibbs has led Spoon away from the docks, away from the shacks and lean-tos that make up the majority of the buildings near the ocean, and uphill towards larger houses. By most standards, these wouldn't qualify as mansions, but the Economy of Tortuga operates on a small scale.
"See that one, Spoon? That's the home of Emile Duvall, one of the few successful merchants on this lsland. And a friend of the French establishment, as you might expect from his name. Thus a man whose taste in clothes is quite refined. I think he might appreciate the sort of fabric you have to offer.
"Or he would, were he home."

Date: 2007-10-19 06:10 pm (UTC)"This is cheap?" He places the work clothes in the wardrobe. "I can't imagine the quality of the expensive clothes." This task done, Gibbs walks over to a small portable desk.

Date: 2007-10-19 07:26 pm (UTC)Spoon follows Gibbs back out, thumbs tucked in his belt. He wants a fag. He really, really wants a fag.

Date: 2007-10-19 07:40 pm (UTC)"Don't blame either of you. Being trapped isn't a fuckin' good thing at all." Spoon doesn't like traps, or cages, or cells.

Date: 2007-10-19 08:02 pm (UTC)"I think we've made a our trade. Shall we see about making a further trade and then looking for doors?"

Date: 2007-10-19 08:11 pm (UTC)They leave the house, with only the missing tankard as evidence of their visit. Duvall won't notice it's gone for days, anyway.

Date: 2007-10-19 08:20 pm (UTC)"It's quite the story. We sailed first to Panama, and then to Singapore, and then the edge of the world itself. And then had to do the impossible to bring Jack back. That we survived is a tribute only to Jack's cunning and resolve." Barbossa should get some credit, and never will.
They walk towards the center of the town, not quite busy as the merchants and traders and whores begin another workday.

no subject
Date: 2007-10-21 12:08 am (UTC)"Maelstrom? Really? Were you out there in it too, Mister Gibbs?"
no subject
Date: 2007-10-21 12:13 am (UTC)"I was out there, aye. And I don;t mind tellin' you that for a while, I wasn't sure we'd make it back. But I should have known better than to doubt Jack." He doesn't know the full story of what happened on the Flying Dutchman and is content in assuming that Jack saved most of the day.
