Time for Shenanigans [Complete]
Character(s): Captain Hook and NiGHTS
Content: A bored NiGHTS decides to finally do something about Hook's fear of crocodiles. Unfortunately for Hook, it's not helping him.
Setting: The river outside of Paixao
Time: Nighttime, week 18
Warnings: NiGHTS and Hook in the same space together.
NiGHTS, unfortunately for Paixao, was bored. He'd heard of this odd new world opening up, and fully intended to explore it - and indeed, those had been his intentions on this particular night. Once NiGHTS got out of the city, however (pulling faces at the guards as he went), he changed his ever-fickle mind. What was there to do? He'd already explored Destiny Islands, of course... but something about the whispers he'd heard about Halloween Town had made it sound rather uncomfortably like Nightmare, and NiGHTS wasn't in the mood to go there after all. What if it was a part of Nightmare? It would be so boring, and NiGHTS had had enough of that.
The maren hovered above the water, arms crossed, a slight frown on his face. What to do, what to do... Oh, well. He'd figure it out. For now, NiGHTS impulsively dove into the water, his feet instantly merging into a tail, and began to swim along the bottom. He'd figure something out.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, the citizen had no other choice but to obey the pirate. One wrong move and Hook would not hesitate to drive his already drawn sword straight through the man’s heart. What did the loss of this man matter to him? He was of no worth and easily replaceable. Not only that, but he had already accomplished half the job the pirate required him for. If needed, he could finish the route himself... Though, using the citizen was so must easier. Not to mention convenient.
A wicked smile crept across the captain’s face as gestured to the small rowboat along the shore. Obediently, the citizen loaded the last bundled sack onto it and climbed in. Pushing the boat out, Hook quickly followed. As the citizen began to row out to sea, the pirate took his proper position at the bow. The sooner they got to their location, the sooner Hook could dispose of this fool.

The nightmaren thought for a few moments. Hook had mentioned a crocodile, hadn't he? And a ticking one at that. Perhaps it was time to put that knowledge to good use. Concentrating for a moment, NiGHTS shifted his form into a rather large crocodile and swam just under the boat (hopefully, the darkness would disguise the fact that NiGHTS couldn't change his coloration). Firmly repressing a mischievous giggle, NiGHTS began to imitate a ticking clock.

“Steady on course.” The captain muttered. “We wouldn’t want for any accidents to occur, would we, Mr. Starkey?” The citizen’s silence spoke louder than words as he began to row faster toward their destination. With his back turned to the citizen, Hook revealed his enjoyment with a laugh. Oh, this little expedition had proved itself a most excellent idea indeed. At least, before an alarmingly familiar ticking sound divulged itself.
The pirate furrowed his brow at the first sign of the peculiar noise while his narrowed eyes shifted across the water suspiciously. Where was it coming from? There couldn’t possibly be anyone out on the water with them, at least as far as he could see. And that sound… What in blazes was it? It sounded… Almost like a clock. A relentlessly ticking analog clock that’s seconds hand played an alarmingly familiar rhythm with its tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock …
Hook’s eyes gradually widened in time with the beat, realization quickly creping over him. Lips trembling, he slowly turned his head to look at the citizen aboard the boat, who at this point looked more than confused. However, there was no doubt that they could not hear it as well, their eyes wandering down at the water. If this wasn’t his imagination, did this mean…? No, it couldn’t, it couldn’t be. It was impossible! That sound… Was it… Could it really…?
no subject
NiGHTS drew closer to the boat, ticking more loudly than before. Maybe a few scares would be exactly what Hook needed - and besides, it was fun to tease others.
no subject
Speaking of the clock, was it getting louder?
“No, it cannot be!” he cried out in horror. That sound… Yes, it most definitely was getting louder! His eyes followed the citizens down to the water. He stumbled back and tripped over his feet causing him to fall into the boat. Immediately he drew his pistol and aimed it at the water. “Show yourself, you miserable c-coward!” The pirate shouted.
no subject
Nightmarish creatures might be similar to beings from the waking world in some aspects, but NiGHTS still had to remember which was which, and how to imitate them. It was not challenge by now, after centuries of doing so, but it did make things that much more interesting.
no subject
Scrambling to fix the hole, the citizen stuffed an empty sack in it while the pirate’s eyes drifted back to the water. It was here. It had to be here. He could hear it. Why, he could almost even see it in the water. Hook paused and squinted in order to focus better. Yes, there was definitely something there. The all too familiar shape and sound made it look like it was…!
“Smee…” he whimpered. The citizen looked up puzzled. “Smee... SMEEEEEE!” Suddenly the captain flew back and into the clueless citizens arms, pleading for his life. “OH, SAVE ME! SAVE ME!” The pirate cried, childishly climbing behind the man to hide from the crocodile. “Don’t let him get me! Don’t let him get me, oh please, oh please, oh please! Keep him away!”
Before the citizen could react, the bag he had stuffed into the hole the pirate had made suddenly shot out and water began to fill the boat again. Hook cried out in horror, immediately rising to his feet. “ROW FOR THE SHORE! ROW FOR THE SH-“ In an effort to follow the pirates orders, the citizen began rowing for the shore on command. However, in doing so he accidentally smacked Hook in the face with one of the oars. As a result he fell straight into the water.
no subject
The maren allowed the ticking noise to grow louder and circled around the pirate, intending to chase him away from the citizen's boat. He'd allow Hook to escape, but NiGHTS would scare him at least a little more first.
no subject
“COME BACK YOU IMBECILE!” he screamed at the citizen who was now a considerable distance from him. They stopped to look at him, mostly confused but perhaps, just a little, amused as well. “SAVE ME, SAVE ME, SAVE ME FROM THIS BEAST!”
no subject
Come on, he thought, just get to the shore already so I can laugh at you.
no subject
From the force used when NiGHTS rammed into the pirate captain, as well as the speed of his kicking feet, Hook completely submerged from the water and ran across its surface to the shore. He sped past the citizen in the rowboat and continued to run even after he had reached the shore. Hook would not stop until he reached the safety of City Hall once again.
no subject
As he flew off, all he could think about was how fun the whole thing had been and how to give Hook a good scare again.
