<sub>[ Jack finds this whole ship business to be quite rude. On the one hand, there's a possibility of being rescued - on the other, there's a chance that this is nothing more than a mirage. and judging by the fact that there happens to be some sort of beastie using perfect English in his general direction, he's going to assume that this is about as real as his moral code is.

Pushing himself up with very great effort, he smiles at the... well, the ... captain and vaguely gestures towards his other self. ... Which is mostly known as being nothing more than air, if anyone else happens to be looking where he is. ]</sub>

Of course I'm all there. I'm the perfect image of being entirely there. You won't find a finer person to be anywhere else, and being right there and here happens to be a speciality I've only just managed to perfect.

_{[ Yes. His other self is beaming too - or at least he was at the introduction. He's making quite the face as he stares at the captain before him, though he's quite keen on that rowboat. ]}
