[ Amy thinks it's about time (no pun intended) one of the many time travellers had something to say about this timey wimey nonsense, which actually almost feels normal for her -- but that's not the point. ]

Couldn't find a better day to repeat itself, could it? 'Cos if I hear the words 'Groundhog Day' one more time, I'm going to scream. And the apartments are never going to get fixed at this rate.

[ Not that anyone can see it, her hand tightens around her sonic out of frustration, but it reminds her what the whole point of making this post was. And it wasn't to rant. Even though it's tempting. ]

I'm gabbling. Anyway, the last time this happened to me I was about to be lost in the time vortex forever, and there was a crashed spaceship and a dead alien causing it. We haven't got any of those, right? [ she's joking, but her tone is absolutely deadpanned serious. because honestly, she wouldn't be surprised at all. ] Alright, so, it means we've got to find a way to break the time loop. There's something that is keeping this day from moving on to the next. I don't think it's the Core exactly, but maybe it needs something else fixed. Something to do with us, if we're the only ones noticing it.

[ then as a side note: ] Right, Doctor? TARDIS? You better back me up on this one.

We'd be much obliged to you, miss, but it seems that this is the only island off the coast of anywhere what does not have a single seaworthy ship worth setting off to sea with. A pity, really.

So if it isn't beasts in-- in, in-- [He waggles his fingers inclusively.] --in spaceships. Are you breaking or are you fixing?

I'm pretty sure we all warned you of that ... But even if there was one, I don't think anybody could get very far.

[ a spaceship might be another deal, but she's not getting into that. she just raises a brow at him. ] I'm not breaking anything. I'm trying to fix, 'course.

[A bit sulkily:] I could.

And you did say breaking at first, you are interested in breaking some-- loop. Loop thinger. And it so happens that I am an expert at breaking.

[ Sure he could. But Amy will stop raining on his parade for now. There are other things to sort out first. ]

Right. I did say that. Breaking the time loop we're in. You know, how this day keeps repeating itself. But I bet you could. You're an expert pirate, aren't you?

The very best, madam. And I have a great deal of experience in matters of madness such as this. There are plenty of days where I wake up and think I may have already done everything that I'm doing. It's usually after a night of drinking, y'see.

But I have also cheated death and marooning and all manner of things, so if it's a crew that you're needing to sort out this bit of madness--Captain Jack Sparrow, at your service. [A beat.] Only not actually at it. I am a captain.

[ She was almost curious until he mentioned the rum. Again. ] Right. Yeah, I can see how that might frequently happen to you.

[ But then, 'cheating death.' She's interested in his story now. ] What manner of things exactly? Anything unusual?

Captain. [ she makes a point of tacking that on. ]

[Oh well if it's captain that he's being called-- Pleased, he straightens up, composing himself into... well, something. Some semblance of refinement.]

As I said. All manner of things. Krakens. Ghostly ships. The Locker. Undead enemies. Really terrible food in mildly terrible prisons. Savage cannibals. Lack of rum. Death.

Unusual things, madam, loom large in my legend.

[ Amy had a feeling that might work. She purses her lips, trying not to grin too much. ]

Wow. That much, eh? Bit impressive. [ Who knew pirates even had encounters with monsters and zombies. She really shouldn't be so surprised when she's run into aliens all over the past. ] Well, unusual things loom large in my legend as well.

[ If she had a legend. She likes the sound of it either way. ]

I'll have to keep you in mind then. Err, I mean, if I find out there's breaking and what not to do.
