I find that I am forgetting more and more of the old songs.

[He is forgetting more than that, in fact. In truth he doesn't know how long he has been here. Each day he forgets a little more. He is sure that if he puts his mind to it, he'll have to count the time in years.]

And it is true that no-one I knew from home would have accused me of wasting my time unduly with such things then, but I am certain I need not go into detail with any of you about the ways in which Luceti seeks to change a man.

Yet, change us it does. We would do well to take measures to ensure that these changes are for the better. There must be some among you who can speak on this matter.

And others still who know of a new song or two.

-James Norrington.

[In that case, Norrington would certainly be surprised, for it definitely wasn't fiction. However, there was no real way to prove it here other than Jack Sparrow vouching for him, but who would believe him?

It wasn't something Norrington could hear, but Barbossa chuckled a bit as he wrote the reply regardless.]


My apologies, I merely do so by force of habit, Admiral. You didn't quite stay an admiral for very long back home, you know.

[What Norrington said to him was still a curious thing to hear, which prompted a curious question.]

How is it that you still serve in this faraway place though, I wonder? There's no British king or governor that I can see here.
