Bootstrap's Persona
Then Marshall disappeared.
"Lord Beckett, the prisoner has arrived." One of the soldiers said, before leaving.
"You know, I have got to get one of those announcer people. So useful." Marshall said sarcastically.
"Mr. Turner, we have need of your services."
"Yeah, you kind of dragged me away from my wedding-"
"No you idiot! I need you to go to Jack Sparrow for me. I want his compass." Gumball spat.
"And why should I do that? You're trying to kill me, and you're trying to kill Fi." Marshall said angrily, losing all joking pretences.
Gumball smiled slyly. "I believe you just answered your own question, Mr. Turner. Jack Sparrow is in your debt for saving his life. I ask for the same favor- I'll do the same for you and your fiancée, and you bring me the compass. Bargain, please, before the sword is required."
"Believe it or not, Fi is the one who's better with the sword. So I completely require her assisstance in retreiving this compass." Marshall said.
"But then I lose my bargaining chip."
"Don't... don't call her that. Just, don't. And anyway, I do have a moral code. And Fi has an even more prominent one. Seriously, if I don't do this, she will. And if you want the compass, I need Fi with me, right now. Freeze our assets if you want."
Slimeball considered this for a moment before nodding. Marshall reappeared next to Fionna, then there was the next scene where he wants the rum. And you're on a ship with like, twenty thirsty, alcholic pirates. That's why the rum's always gone.
Marshall and Fionna jumped at the sight of... 'Bootstrap'. Even my eyes widened. TV really outdid herself this time. Marshall's actual father? Really?
And then there was that delightful scene, where Laurence clearly recognised him. Yay. Good God, I never realized how creepy this scene was. And how much it made sense with this guy. You know, Disney. For kids!
"What's a bunt gasket?" Fionna asked me.
"I don't know. I think... a sail-thingy?" I said.
Oh dear. Laurence lost his hat. And they were going to get it. Stupid monkey. Then he stared at the wall. Oh no... he's lost it. And apparently, he doesn't show up here when he's off-screen. Okay, cool.
"Why isn't Laurence here when he's off-screen?" I finally asked.
"Because he wasn't directly involved. I just pull him back in from his daily life." TV replied.
Then Marshall and Fionna disappeared again and reappeared onscreen, where she was let out. "Where do we find him?" She asked.
"Tortuga." Marshall said confidently.
"Alright then. But first things first- let's lose the dress and find you a hat." Fionna said before the montage.
Then they were being rowed out to the island, and had to swim out to it. Rude dude.
"Oh good, we found the ship." Marshall muttered.
"Anyone up there?" Fionna called up. No answer.
Then the parrot appeared. "Don't eat me!"
"Why would...?" Fionna wondered.
"What did that guy say again? He got... pork on this island?" Marshall asked.
"Long pork. What did he mean?" Fionna asked him, not scared at all.
"It means... cannibals. Great. I brought you to a place where they eat humans." Just then, they were attacked by said cannibals. They put up a good fight, but were knocked out quickly by tranquilizer darts and were taken to Laurence. They're screwed.
"Laurence?" Fionna asked quietly.
"Laurence, let us down." Marshall said.
Laurence said something about 'eunuchy'. Um... what? You know! The castration of someone! Disney! For kids! Then Marshall and Fionna were carried away. Probably to be eaten. The TV cut to an actual scene from the actual movie for a few minutes.
"They're not in any danger, right?" I asked TV.
"Nah. If they die there, they just return here and watch the rest of the movie." She said.
"Cool. What was all that...?"
"I believe your idiot brother just stopped them from being eaten. For the moment, at least." TV said.
The kids were zapped back as Cake and Jake started arguing in a tiny rowboat. Pintel and Ragetti? That's just insulting to Cake and Jake, and I told TV so. She shrugged in reply. Ooookay then.
