[ do you know how to cope with being murdered in some haunted house by some creepy omnious voice talking to you? You don't sleep and decide to drown in work. That's obviously what you should do. That's obviously what kaneki is doing.

When Kaneki comes to the screen he is wearing glasses and is surrounded by books and two computer screens, and he looks like he hasn't slept in years (because, let's be honest, he hasn't). He will get right to the point when the video feed starts, offering a small smile and a bow of his head ]

Hello. I wish to bring something to you today. Years ago, an imPort by the name of Kate Bishop started a FAQ, with the idea to give every imPort the information they needed about this world and their situation. It was a good idea, but once she was ported out, this FAQ became out of date and it hasn't been updated in years. I wish to bring it back and follow what Miss Bishop wanted to do. I already have her FAQ, which I'll be adapting and updating but given two years have passed since it was written, I think it's necessary to add what today's imPorts want to know and worry about.

That's why I'm making this post. If you have any question you want to see in this FAQ, go ahead and ask. I'll be adding them to the document. And of course, share the document once it's ready.

Don't worry, Captain. There are sailors around, perhaps not from your world but- still like you in a way. [ HE HOPES YOU LIKE ARCHIE BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONE YOU'LL GET ]

And if it helps, you could certainly be from some other imPort's world and from their past. You just aren't from this specific world.

[Thank the Seven Seas for Archie! Jack would be in poor company if he didn't like the smarmy pokemon-clad pirate. He's the only other sea loving cur here.]

Rum luck, I say. [He grumbles with an annoyed pout.] I bet dear William and Elizabeth would've enjoyed some respite from the humdrum of Port Royal.

[That and the fact Will would've enjoyed the chance of being on land again.]

Meh, I suppose I can't complain much but I miss the open seas, lad.

William and Elizabeth...? [ he has no idea who those people are apart from those being very British names. ]

I understand that. Sadly you can't just go travel the ocean anymore.

My two stalwart companions, an eunuch and his lovely beau.

[If only Will was here to defend himself. The blacksmith would let Kaneki know he's no eunuch as Jack keeps suggesting. It's an inside joke that poor Turner would gladly see put to rest by strangling this foul man. Jack is a bit of a jokester and a trickster at times.]

Yer barkin' at the wrong dog if you think I'm stayin' on land, mate. [The mirth in Jack's eyes fades and becomes piercing much like a sharpened knife.]

I'm a pirate but most of all, I'm a free man.

You seem to have interesting friends. I'm sorry they aren't here with you.

[ aha if only kaneki knew. ]

If you leave american waters, you will be labeled AOL and recovered by the government, Captain.

I should tell ya bout the rest of 'em.

[He misses those slimey slippery eels he deem as "friends". Jack misses them almost as he misses his ship.]

How will those "New World" Pilgrims even know?! The brand?

I won't mind hearing about them. I'm certain they are very different from what I'm used to.

[ since he is from the future and all ]

Yes, through the nanites in your blood. They work as a locator.

Wait a moment, lad. There's what in my blood?

[Gee, thanks. The pirate thinks he has weird little bugs or something inside him.]

What did they do to me?!

Nanites they are- [ a pause. How do you explain this to a pirate....... ] very tiny machines that they put into our blood when we arrive.

They locate us, they keep us healthy, they bring us back from the dead, they let you communicate...

Bring us back from the dead.

[Pause. A lengthy pause ensues as Jack peers into the screen.]

So, I'm immortal, lad?

You can still die, you'll still feel all of that pain, but essentially - yes. You'll be brought back.
