[She looks a bit groggy when the video turns on, though her voice doesn't seem to be bothered by it all.]

This is to the people running this place. I know you watch us, I know you have eyes on us somewhere. This collar, the stuff it does, you're only getting away with it because nobody outside of here knows but they will. You can't keep it a secret, people will find out and I'll make sure of it.

And about the nap? You can't keep me... chloroformed or whatever forever.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Oh, hello there handsome man. But no, no distracting Skye while she has mission. She'll just focus. Mostly.]

Yeah, they're pretty sure too. I guess that's one more I have to prove wrong.

[Skye raises on eyebrow but leans forward.] You know, that line would have probably worked better if you didn't greet me by point out my chances of staying stuck in this prison. Probably.

I assumed it would be too much to simply hit on without knowing your name. Some level of conversation seemed like good form.

I'm Captain Killian Jones. Most know me as Hook.

That was so flirting. [But she's more amused by it and really, enough people had told her she would fail that she wasn't bothered.]

Skye. [That's it, no last name.] Why the name Hook? Fisherman?

Aye, it was. [ Such a smile here. ]

In normal circumstances it would be after the hook I wear in place of a hand.

A hook instead of a hand? Where's the eye patch and parrot?

Who do you think started the hook instead of a hand, love? If any others are doing it, it's only because I'm a trend-setter.

My guess would have been pirates. You're too...not... decaying looking to be a pirate.

[She tried to describe it, okay?] They took the hook because it would be a weapon, right? What's there now?

I'd wager you just called me sexy.

I am a pirate though, and one missing a hand. [ He holds up his arm. Hello nub. ]

[She opens her mouth, only to close it. Well, yeah, he wasn't wrong.]

So, uh, no hand, huh? [Smoothest transition ever.] What's that like? Besides obviously annoying?

[ He's got a knowing smirk on his lips when no argument is returned. This is going well. ]

Makes me far better at using other appendages.

Wouldn't that just make you better at using your other hand?

Aye, along with a hook and my mouth. [ There's a smirk and he does the eyebrow thing. Man's got eyebrow game alright. ]

Part of that was...thought provoking. But you're hookless now anyway, right?

[ Hey, he can open bottles with his mouth and hold things there, alright. Totally innocentish comment. Only he totally didn't mean it innocently. ]

Which should stand to reason that I'll only get better with the other two.

You know, this is probably one place the hook would've been better than the hand.

They really don't like it when your appendages can easily end up in someone's neck.

[She taps her collar.] They wouldn't want somebody else copying their tricks.

Or breaking them.

Maybe you don't need a hook for that. [Somehow, even in here, her smile seems confident, almost as if she's letting him in on a secret.]

It sounds as though you're onto something, love.

I'm hoping to get onto a... lot.. [She clears her throat. Why did it suddenly sound perverted when saying it to him?]

I hope to get a lot of other ideas.

Do you fight for freedom or do you fight for something more, Miss Skye?

[ He won't take the opportunity for once. After all, she seems like someone actually respectable as a rebel if she does have the talents she seems to think she does. ]

Freedom, in more ways than one. You can't always see the bars that's trapping you into place. So, that's what I do, I take down bars. [Usually they're word bars but...]

And just how far would you go to get that?

[ It doesn't really matter to him if she's willing to go on the dark side to get things done or if she's willing to go all the way, he just wants to know. He has a distaste for methods that aren't honorable, even if his morals are skewed. Considering a positive relationship with Skye could be beneficial if she has the talents she seems to think she does. ]

Do you have an idea?

[She may be willing to break some laws, such as the hacking thing, but she wasn't about to get anybody hurt.]
