You ever have that moment where your character writes themselves? Like you see a situation and instead of having to think about how your character would react to it, you just [i]know[/i] what they are going to do before you're even done reading the post? Fortune jumping into the ocean after the cute girl to save her was one such moment. Didn't even have to think about it, that was what he was going to be doing. Honestly, the whole 'tie a rope around your waist thing' was us both thinking along the lines of 'Okay, how do I get the girl back onto the ship without dying' at the same time.
