"French, eh?" Jay said thoughtfully, "Inventors of mayonaise and parlay, or so I'm told,"

Kibo: Bah, the French only gave parley it's name. The idea of two leaders speaking and debating, rather than just killing each other, has been around since the earliest Anglos, and beyond.

"That's not new to me, mate," Jay said. "Me father's keeper of the code, remember?"

Kibo: Was it you who just called the French inventors of parley, or another Jamacia Sparrow?

"Blast it, there I go again!" Jay growled angrily. "Now I'm forgetting everything. And it's beginning to scare me. Perhaps what I meant to say was that they did invent the name,"

Kibo: You know, for someone who can't drink alcohol, you're starting to sound like a drunk.

"I am beginning to sound like a drunkard, aren't I?" Jay said, adding a nervous laugh after the sentance. "But I can assure you, Kibo, I am indeed alergic to alcohol, and I am not drunk."

Kibo: I'm gonna trust you on this, Jay. But you've gotta earn my trust again after it.
He chuckles, grabbing a bottle from his pack, and offering it to Jay.
Kibo: Non-alcoholic rum?

"No, thanks," Jay said. "But do ye happen to have any coconut milk?" That was the drink that Jay used in replacement of rum. She had discovered her addiction to it after being stranded on an island with her brother and Elizabeth Swann.

Yes, Jaenelle said with a sigh. From what I've read on this time period, French ships had a far thicker wood at sea level. It makes alot of difference when a cannonballs blasting your sea line to floor your ship and make it sink. Ofcause I know this because I bothered to learn about a ship, rather than just walk in off the street and try and captain one.

"That is a good trick," Jay said, "Perhaps I should consult the Code and read up on my sailor's lore before stealing anything. Maybe I could use an old superstition to scare the sailors right off the bloody ship!" She grinned mischeviously.

yes, Jaenelle said with a heavy sigh, Because the French are so easy to scare.* Maybe you could toss a black cat on their deck and have it cross their paths?
[*Whats gotta be remembered is that it wasn't until WW2 that people called the French cowards.
Before that, they were known as quite good fighters.]

"It's worth a try. And if I do fail, I'll be out in no time," Jay replied.

Kibo: Oy, barkeep! Bring me a coconut milk!
The barkeep looks at him incredulously, and begins to make a snappy and slightly insulting remark, but Kibo silences him with a piercing red glare. The man hurriedly brings Kibo some coconut milk, served fresh in the coconut.
Kibo: There. Jaenelle, I've heard strange stories that you can turn your sword into some sort of rapid-firing pistol. Can I see?

"One more of those over here!" Jay called to the barman, who handed her one. She slipped him a silver coin, and he left.
