17 December 2003 - Dimensional rips

Tegan

Nyx and Jack

Nyx cursed as she passed through the dimensions again. Someone had been playing around with time and continuity...screwing things up royally. She tracked down the cause of the disturbance, eyes narrowed in anger.

She fixed her rips behind her. Why didn't this jackass have the sense to do the same? Probably some beginner just come into their powers and playing around...damn it, the universe was not a toy!

Though it could be awfully sparkly at times...

Dammit, not a toy!

She stepped through the worst rip and screamed in surprise as she started to fall towards the earth. Rippling blue waves spread out beneath her and the sun beat down from a equally blue sky. She curled around slightly, crouching in midair as she continued to fall. With a bit of shifting, she aimed to land on a drifting black dot far below her. Hopefully, that was an island or a ship.

Jack Sparrow spun the steering wheel slightly as he sailed the Black Pearl.

"Nah nah ni nah, really bad eggs..." he sang under his breath.

"Would you look at that?" One of the hands said, pointing upwards.

Jack peered upwards, squinting against the Caribbean sun. He walked forward slightly to the rail as the black speck continued to plummet. Mr Gibbs took the wheel.

"Thank ye kindly, Mr Gibbs," Jack said distractedly.

"Let's stay on course for Tortuga."

"Aye aye, Jack," the older man said.

"Wot do ye think it be?"

"Dunno yet, does I? Keeps me peepers open and my trap shut till we know what it is. Not a cannonball, that's fer sure though," Jack said.

Nyx braced herself for impact and hit the deck in a crouch. The decking splintered, one of the planks breaking.

"Goddess damn it!" Jack heard a female voice say clearly as he vaulted the railing and landed on the main deck.

He walked over slowly, the crew moving away and murmuring to themselves.

"Hello, Nyx me darlin."

"Hello, Jack," Nyx said pleasantly.

"Sorry for dropping in like this, sweetie."

Then she promptly fainted.

Jack started to bark out orders. Anna Maria took Nyx down to her bunk and fussed generally at the crew. Well. Some of the loot was just going to have to go on repairs...
