OOC- I'm thinking this thread will take place just after the escape from Treasure Planet--after Jim reunites with his mom, but not totally post-film. There seems to be a pretty big time lapse between Jim's return and then his graduation from the Academy. I figure we can use our own creativity to fill in the gaps.  BIC- After the daring escape from Treasure Planet and then a short time later, the docking of the Legacy at Montressor Spaceport, B.E.N. may be he only one still on edge after all the excitement. As hyper as he is, one might expect this, but B.E.N. is actually quite nervous. After all, he's gone from living in solitude for over 100 years to having found a "best buddy" in Jim Hawkins and now to being surrounded by millions of people on the planet Montressor. Having been betrayed and abandoned by Captain Flint so long ago, B.E.N. wonders whether Jim might do the same thing now that he is back home among his friends and family.
At the moment, the robot sits alone on the railing of the Legacy, watching the bustling of the crowds below, milling around the spaceport. He knows Jim is probably busy catching his mother up on all that had happened and B.E.N. doesn't want to interfere. Quickly growing bored with sitting around watching everyone else being busy, he hops down and finds a mop and starts swabbing the deck, expecting the Legacy will set off on another voyage once it undergoes the necessary repairs and, with nothing else to do, B.E.N. doesn't mind the self-appointed task. |

OOC-Now, I'm not a RP wiz. I've only done it two or three times on another site. They had a rule that you are not allowed to use someone else's character, which I'm guessing you can't do here either. But are there others? Like what is BIC?

OOC means "Out Of Character". You would use this to signify that you are speaking outside of the roleplay. BIC means "Back In Character". You use this when you are returning to your character. As far as using Silver and Scroop, there's really no "proof" that Scroop died. Arrow blew up, no doubt, but Scroop just floated off, so I say he could very well return to the story. You can also bring Silver in and your original character(s).  |

OOC-(Okay but I'm gonna do it my way if that's Okay *eyeroll*)
BIC- Silver flew the skiff nice and easy to Montressor Space Port. Auggie was right behind him in the skiff looking proud at Silver. "Silver, that's a very nice thing you did for Jim. I'll miss that blob." Silver didn't face her he just nodded. Auggie looked confused at Silver. One ear up and one ear down. She leaned in the skiff in a way that she could see part of Silver's face. His eyes were welling up with tears, but he looked happy. Auggie never thought that she saw Silver cry before. Then she said softly to Silver, as if to do nothing more then feal the silence, "I'll miss Jim." Silver nodded. "Me too lass. Me too." Nobody said nothing for a while, then Auggie noticed they were getting closer and closer to Montressor SpacePort. "Silver, what are ya doing? If we go there we could get arrested!"
Silver turned to face her. "We need to get Ol' Rodger back, I anin't leavin' her behind." Silver was reffering to his Previous ship, The Old Rodger. It wasn't as big as the Legacy was, but it was home to them. Auggie nodded to Silver. "Okay...but let's just be carefull about it kay?"

Walking over to the edge of the ship, B.E.N. dumps the dirty mop water over the rail in one fairly smooth motion--considering the amount of rust he's acquired here and there. Pausing a moment, he notices a small craft manuevering around the bigger schooners in the spaceport. The skiff looks familiar to him as he shields his eyes with a hand and peers out, trying to make out the two figures riding aboard. He can't be too sure at his distance, but he thinks he recognizes the big guy . At a loss for anything else to do, B.E.N. decides to go consult Jimmy on the matter. The robot never knew that Jim had let Silver go. In fact, it never really occurred to him how the cyborg somehow disappeared from the ship. Up until now, he never thought about it.

For once, Jim didn't care that the adults had left him alone as they talked privately with each other. The teen had gone through a lot in the past hour. Saving a crew from an exploding planet was something not too many other kids Jim's age could pull off.
So Jim didn't complain as the Captain, Doctor, and his mother left him to wander the Spaceport as they talked things through with the owners of the Port. Jim just slowly walked through the crowd of people as he thought about what had just happened with Treasure Planet, Silver, and Auggie. Morph buzzed around his head and pointed out different objects to Jim that suited his fancy. Jim only smiled and walked on, secretly loving the company of the pink blob.
"Hey, space boy, are you going to buy something or what?" someone suddenly said from behind. Jim looked over his shoulder to the aqua colored alien teen standing behind a table selling fried space fish on a stick.
"Don't I know you from school?" Jim asked.
OOC- sorry if that was too long *shrugs*

OOC- Don't worry about a post being "too long". The longer the better in my opinion! It gives us more to work with. BIC- Clattering noisily down the ramp of the Legacy and making a spectacle of himself as he runs through the spaceport shouting Jim's name, B.E.N. excitedly searches for his human friend. After making several random aliens a bit angry as he bumps into one after another, he finally rounds a corner and spots Jim at the fish stand."Jimmy!" he shouts, running up to Jim and literally hanging off him as he is out of breath, "Oh, Jimmy! I'm glad I found you! I have some important news you might want to know. Y'know, for a second, I thought I'd lost you and maybe you left the spaceport without me, but you would never do that, would ya?" He stares up at Jim with soulful eyes--much like a puppy begging to be adopted at an animal shelter. Having gotten completely off the subject, he momentarily forgets why he had so urgently sought out Jim. After a moment, he notices the alien girl at the fish stand and--being that he is great at striking up conversation (one-sided or otherwise)--he greets her by grabbing her hand and shaking it vigorously."Is this your girlfriend, Jimmy?" he asks tactlessly, "Aw, isn't that sweet? High school sweethearts. I remember when I was younger, I had a girlfriend..." Forgetting all about his important news he had originally intended to share with Jim, B.E.N. rambles on and on with some old tale about his younger days when "his copper was brand new and his gears didn't squeak". |

OOC- lol. I'm still laughing from that last post. You have B.E.N.'s character down perfectly.
BIC- "Yeah, we have geometry together," the alien said with a nod. "It's Jim, right? To tell you the truth, I'm guessing because you've always been yelled at to go to detention before the class starts."
"Detention!!" Morph shouted happily, clueless as to what the word meant. The alien girl smiled slightly as Jim tried to catch the blob as the thing repeated the word a couple more times, attracting everyone's eye toward the stand.
"Yeah, I never seemed to like geometry," Jim said with a wry smile. He finally caught his new pet in both hands and frowned at Morph as if to scold him. "I never seemed to like school too."
"I'm with you on that one," the girl said, finally expressing a grin.
"Jimmy!"
Both teens jumped at the sound of B.E.N.'s loud shout. Jim sighed in slight annoyance as B.E.N. seemed to latch himself onto his body while talking a mile a minute, rambling like always then forgetting what he was rambling about. The alien girl only stared at the robot in confusion.
Finally Jim had enough of the guy. "Okay, B.E.N.," he said with a tired sigh, "What is it you were going to tell me that is important?"
"And just to throw this out there, robot guy, Jim isn't my boyfriend. We hardly know each other," the girl said with a frown.

OOC- LOL! Thanks. I love your detailed posts! It's so refreshing after doing RPs with one-line posters on other boards.  BIC- B.E.N. pauses in mid-ramble, his jaw hanging open as he stares blankly for several seconds as Jim tries to redirect him back to the original subject he had intended to ramble on. Though his memory circuit is back in place and his long-term memory is functioning, his short-term wiring is still a little off. He starts to answer Jim, but then gets distracted by Kiera's comment."Oh, okay," he chuckles, seemingly embarrassed, "Talk about an awkward moment, heh. Open mouth, insert foot. Anyway, that aside, you two do look cute together--at a distance and close up." He backs away a few steps and makes a "frame" around Jim and Kiera with his hands, studying them like an artist or a photographer. No doubt, he is embarrassing the solar fire out of the two teenagers, but--as always--he is blissfully ignorant."Yes. Yes, you two do make a lovely picture," he rambles on, once again letting the "important thing" slip from his mental grasp as he goes on and on unknowingly embarrassing Jim and Kiera. |

OOC- That open mouth insert foot line is one that my dad uses all the time. Man, did that one remind me of my dad and how goofy he is!
BIC- Jim and Kiera glanced at each other to share their annoyance as B.E.N. went back to the romance topic again. When he started pretending like he was a photographer with his hands, it drew the line for the two teens. The horrified expressions on their faces told every alien around them how embarrassed they were. Both their cheeks flushed pink and red as B.E.N. kept going on.
Morph changed into a mini B.E.N., but the only difference was his giant mouth that kept opening and closing whenever B.E.N. talked, which was constant.
"You gonna stop him?" Kiera muttered to Jim. By this time she had no idea what B.E.N. was talking about.
"No. I'd like to listen to him all day," Jim said sarcastically back. They both smirked as they saw Morph's new form. Jim shook his head and said loudly to B.E.N., "Okay! So what was this important thing? You've gotten a little side tracked."
Kiera gave a sharp laugh and muttered to the other teen, "Side tracked doesn't even begin to describe it."
"Shh! You'll you'll get him on another topic," Jim whispered back with a small smile.

"Important thing? Yeah...yeah! Important thing!" B.E.N. yaps, grabbing Jim's arm as though to emphasize the importance of what he's about to say, "Jimmy, I saw your buddy--the big guy. He was--he was coming into the spaceport in a skiff that looked like the one that disappeared from the Legacy. He had a fox-type alien friend with him. I thought you might want to know. How did he get off the ship without anyone noticing anyway? And why did he leave? He seemed like a nice guy."
The robot remains oblivious to Morph's mimicking antics as he launches into yet another rant, this time going on and on about how puzzled he is by Silver's mysterious departure. Fortunately for Jim and Kiera, he seems to have forgotten about the previous match-making-type rambling.
"You know what's strange?" he continues randomly, "That old cyborg--I think he suffers from mood swings. Did it occur to you that he seemed to switch around a lot? I mean, from what I could gather--and believe me, I don't know a thing about psychoanalysis--he seemed almost noble one minute, then he's change his mind and decide to behave like a savage sword-swinging beast. Sometimes he scared me almost as much as Captain Flint--almost, but not quite as much."
Considering this for a few moments--precious moments of actual silence--B.E.N. paces, deep in thought, perhaps sorting through his memory to retrieve a certain significant one. Well, significant to him anyway.
"Speaking of Captain Flint," he muses, "I could almost bet my memory circuit that cyborg was part of Flint's crew at one time. I'm almost positive, Jimmy--but...but that was at least 100 years ago. Does anyone know the average lifespan of a cyborg?"

OOC- Sorry I took so Long, Busy with school XP
BIC- Auggie's ears cocked backward as soon as they landed. She picked up something....Something about Silver....about Flint...The Space Port was to crowded for her fox ears to pick up that much. She tried too focus on the certain voice she herd, but it was a hard task for her. Silver glanced over at Auggie, her ears cocking every which way and she had the most focused expression on her face. "Augs?" Silver asked curiously. Auggie just sushed him. She tried to pick up that voice....it was faint....but she could hear it. It sounded like the crazy copper robot she meet. "I swear...I must of knew the big guy from some place..." Then she lost it. Silver could tell by her expression she herd something. "Whatta got?" Auggie looked at Silver wondering if she should tell him. "Silv'..." she began hesitantly. " That copper robot Silv'... Did you know him before? I mean...before the..." Auggie didn't know how to put it, usually they didn't discus how he lost his arm (and other parts). "Accident?" she settled on. Silver looked at her, slightly shocked by such a comment. Usually they pretended it never happened. Silver paused lenghtly bitting his lip. Pondering the question. "No." Silver said as he walked out into the crowd of the SpacePort. Auggie cocked her ears backward and squinted at Silver. She could tell he was lying.

Post by comicgeek on Sept 7, 2006 19:34:14 GMT -5
OOC- You can start whenever, The Black Pearl! But sorry it took me so long to post. My wisdom teeth got an infection and I started school this week.
BIC- As soon as B.E.N. said the word "cyborg", Jim's attention zeroed in on the robot. When he asked why Silver had left, Jim tried to play innocent. He just smiled at the robot as he rambled on. If anyone really found out that it was Jim who had let the two pirates go, Jim was sure Amelia would hang him for it. It was best to just keep it to himself.
"So you two just got back from a voyage?" Kiera asked Jim as B.E.N. kept talking to himself. The robot was pacing now, but the two teens weren't exactly paying attention. Like all teens, they came with a short attention span.
"Yeah," Jim said. "Did you see that big explosion a hour ago?"
"That was you guys?!" Kiera asked in shock.
"Yep!" Jim answered with a proud, smug smile on his face. Morph puffed up his tiny chest to mock the teen. "Cut it out!" Jim hissed playfully at his pet while swipping at it.
"Does anyone know the average lifespan of a cyborg?" B.E.N. suddenly asked loudly.
Jim and Kiera looked back to the robot in confusion. "No clue, B.E.N. Maybe you should go ask one," Jim said with a joking smile. He hadn't been listening to what the robot had been saying.
Morph suddenly turned into Silver and made the tiny replica show of its cyborg side to the three watching him.
"Who's that?" Kiera asked.
