JACK
"If that's the noise you make when you want attention, I hope your lovers take a fuckin' gag to bed with them." The quip was snarled under Jack's breath as he shouldered his way out of the cabin on the upper deck. The rest of the crew were already moving, acting, reacting and trying to steer from out of the path of something Jack couldn't yet see.
Taking steps two at a time to reach the starboard bow, he leant a hand against the rail and peered off into the ocean where pink tentacles wriggled at them. "And what the fuck d'you expect me to do about that, you gods-damned banshee?" he wanted to know, staring incredulously at Eloise and gesturing to his own (handsome but absolutely not able to go up against a sea monster) self.
More inconvenienced by the shrill call, apparently, than the creature a short distance away, Jack turned and barked a few orders at the men on the rigging and further down the ship where they were trying to steer and cut away from the monster.
"If it were comin' for us we wouldn't have seen it," he pointed out. "Just... zap it, or whatever."
