Just Outside School Gates [all day]

[likeguidelines.livejournal.com]

Barbossa still had a boat, the Heidy Ho III.

Barbossa still had his parasol umbrella to keep him from getting wet. The rain would remove that all-important layer of grime he had going.

Most importantly, Barbossa had a plan. And a sign.

Barbossa's Boatin'!
Helpin' t' get ye around Fandom without drownin'
fer mostly reasonable rats rates!!!!

Singin' be extra!

He didn't mention that he would be singing and they would be paying him to stop.

He put on his most innocent expression--which wasn't terribly innocent--and practiced yowling singing opera as he waited for customers to slog on up.

The two squirrels already in the stern wearing little striped costumes like gondoliers rolled their eyes.

Luna hopped out of the boat into about a foot of water. "Thank you!"

Barbossa held out his hand expectantly and named a ridiculous price for his service.

River fell silent as she certainly didn't have that amount of money on her.

Barbossa grinned. "Or ye could sing fer me."

River grinned back. "Yes. Any particular song?"

"Lady's choice," he said magnanimously.

River thought for a moment, then sang:


I am a mole and I live in a hole
I live underground and I dig all around
I've got bad sight as it is always night
You are forlorn 'cause I dig up your lawn

Barbossa laughed and applauded. "Very good, wench!" He got back into the boat. "Be havin' a good day now!"

River raised her hand and waved goodbye.
