The Drunk Elf Pirates and the Quest for the Holy Wine - Page 18

Willow Oran · 07-15-2003, 10:05 PM

Meanwhile Willow being the neurotic little faerie that she is and having wings decides to follow Cap'n and the others to the meeting with the bat.

Willow: (talking to herself as she picks her way along the docks) It's not that I think they can't avoid being bitten on their own, really it isn't it's just that well, accidents happen and it never hurts to have an extra person around to make sure of things going the way they're supposed to. Really, I'm just going to stand in the background and not interefere at all, unless the bat tries to bite them. But that won't happen, I'm just going to watch, really, that's all.

Having decided this she looked up and saw the ship, quickly revising her plans she ducked out of sight and ran for the bar she had seen the Cap'n and Tano go into. That ship should not have been there, this was bad.

OOC: Eruviel, I'm setting up for the sub-plot we discussed, tell me whether you want to go through with it or not. It shouldn't really do anything except speed us up a bit though.

Katt_knome_hobbit · 07-17-2003, 07:32 PM

*The drunk Katt reeled her head around to look at Luthien*

Drunk: Oh goodie! *hic* an audience!
Bring us more ale here and without fail here.
We’ll go on singing till each song is sung,
Pass round the jugs now; fill up your mugs now,
We shall not stop now that we have begun.
And if you have a song sir as we go along sir,
You’re next to sing but you’re never to think,
We’d let you sing dry sir that’s a foul lie sir,
A drink for each song and a song for each drink.

Luthien: That's a good one. How does it go again.

Drunk: Bring us more ale here.

Luthien: Bring us more ale here.

Drunk: and without fail here.

Luthien: and without fail here.

Drunk&Luthien: Welllego onesingincg till earch sonegis sung!

*The drunk was slurring cuz she was, well, drunk, and Luthien was slurring because the he hadn't memprized the words yet*

Indril Anarion · 07-17-2003, 08:39 PM

Luthien: *to drunk* Ya got any alcohol-y on ya?

The last sane person · 07-18-2003, 02:18 AM

Roya: Nope and if she did i would have it! *she come on board and thwaks the drunk as she passed*

Indril Anarion · 07-18-2003, 05:23 PM

Luthien: Pish! Oh, well....back to singin'! Ya know any songs, Roya?

Katt_knome_hobbit · 07-18-2003, 06:13 PM

OOC: Ooh! just learned this cool new song! It has three more verses and I'll see if I can learn the tune Monday night.

Drunk: I gotta 'nother one!

Why liquor of life do I love you so,
When in all our encounters you lay me low?
More stupid and senseless I everyday grow;
What a hint, if I'd mend by the warning!
Tattered and torn you've left my coat,
I've not a crevat to save my throat,
Yet all pardon you all, my sparkiling doat,
If you'll cheer me again in the morning!

An' the other verses are about drinkin after church, marrying your cousin, and some other buggered thing. I don't like singin those verses cuz, I don't like church, I have no cousins, and I can't even remember the other bit.

OOC: I was maybe struggleing with the possibility of the Drunk actually being an ostricized Bat. Named Katt. How about that? Is it a bad idea? Should I just be really annoying?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 07-19-2003, 01:08 AM

ooc: Annoying. Yes. Good. I am finally here. Go me. Um. Why is the rum gone?

ic:
And so the Yet Another Tall Dark Stranger came up to them and sat down. And from somewhere in the pub, a very strange girl with a long brown braid popped her head up from behind a table and said, Conk the elf!. But of course no one heard this.

THE TALL DARK STRANGER: Greetings, my fair...ladies...personages...pirates...
EG: I liked the bit about the pirates.
TTDS: Good, good. I am Ignatious Bob Flannery, and I am responding to your message. Milady. *does flourishy bow*
EG: You shall call me sir, or Captain. Or skip. Whatever. BUT ONLY THoSE!
IBF: Good, good, Skip-Captain-Sir.
EG: Excellent. SO, we need your help. Want to come back to the ship?
IBF: Might I have a drink first?
EG: Certainly, Ignatious Bob.
IBF: Very well then. *orders a wieeeeerd drink.*

ooc: More pending. Um.

Willow Oran · 07-19-2003, 01:30 AM

OOC: Cap'n, Bat's name is spelled Ignatius. Continuing weird sub-plot, one evil identity revealation coming right up.

Willow poked her head in the bar in time to hear the bat say "Might I have a drink first." Thus she decided that she hadn't worried for nothing after all and that now would be good time to interrupt and tell Cap'n about that ship, before the bat decided to go for the cheap alternative of not bothering to order.

Willow: *slips into the bar and up to the table where the others are sitting.* Cap'n! I've got something I really need to tell you-

Eruviel: Not now Willow, we're conducting buisness with our friend here.

IBF: One of your crew I presume?

Eruviel: Yes, this is our resident Faerie, Willow, this is Ignatius Bob Flannery, the bat we were meeting with.

Willow: Flannery? That sounds awfully familier... I think I might of met one of your cousins before...

IBF: It's possible. We are a large family, I'm the only bat of the entire lot though, What did you say your name was again?

Willow: Willow Oran, of Faerin. About that, Cap'n there's a Faerie ship at port here we might want to leave soon, last I heard Fa- I mean the King wasn't too happy with you.

IBF: It would be wise to take Her Highness' advice in this matter Captain, we can conduct our negotiations on your ship, preferably out of sight of the harbor.

OOC: Heh. Evil sub-plot revealed, along with motivation to move fast.

Tanoliel · 07-19-2003, 01:40 AM

Tano: Oh, and Cap'n--
EG: What else?
Tano: Oh, not much. Just that there's a drunk on board. So we've got another one to deal with. There is, however, a fresh supply of cannon shot, plus forks, spoons, rum bottles--empty, of course--and other things that can be shoved into said cannons. The wind's good. I think we could outsail this fairie ship if we had too. What kind of ship have they got, Willow?

ooc: Sorry, I'm babbling...just I couldn't post for so LONG, you see, because my CAPTAIN had to post...

Indril Anarion · 07-19-2003, 03:17 PM

Meanwhile, aboard the ship...

Luthien: *dancing in her cell to drunk's song* *singing* Yet all la la... my sparkiling la...If you'll la la la in the morning! *not singing* I've got to learn me the lyrics of this song...*to drunk* So, what's your name, or shall I call you Musical Drunk?

Eruviel Greenleaf · 07-20-2003, 01:02 AM

EG: Faerie ship. Oh. Oh. Holy. Um. Excrement. Willow? Highness? Okay, I'm not even going to ask, we're just GETTING OUT OF HERE! Ignatius, you're coming with us, right?
IBF: Of course, sir captain skip.
EG: *grabs Willow's wrist in one hand, Ignatius's in the other, and trusts Tano to come, and RUNS out of the bar, down the street to the docks, and on to the ship. Once aboard, she calls to the mate.*
EG: *shouting* Xenoia! Are we all met?
E XK: Aye, Cap'n! All here and accounted for.
EG: THEN LET'S SAIL! All hands! Hoist up the sails! *runs to the tiller* Are well all ready? SAIL!
*Tano runs about making sure there are no lines still tied up to the dock, and then scrambles to the crow's nest*
EG: *out of breath* Flannery...*gasping*...so sorry...have to get out of here...we'll talk soon, just need...to get out...of...port....*nearly falls on the wheel*

...and so they sail out of the harbour and out to sea. unluckily for them, the Faeries soon notices and leave port themselves. EG is taking the ship out as fast as she can...

Tanoliel · 07-20-2003, 01:06 AM

Tano: *from crow's nest* They're following, Cap'n! But they aren't gaining--we can outrun them!

The last sane person · 07-20-2003, 01:11 AM

*Roya comes out from below deck as she heard the Cap'ns cry for all hands on deck. She goes up to her and notices the dude she has by the wrist*

Roya: Hoy there cap'n! whats all this? and who is this? *points to Flannery*

Cap'n: I'll tell you later! Go help Tano with the weapons! Just in case they do catch up to us! oh, and did you get the papers?

Roya:*salutes and calls over her shoulder* Ay ay cap'n! I did get those papers, but i doubt theey'll do us any good!

Eruviel Greenleaf · 07-20-2003, 01:20 AM

EG: Well why's that? Honestly, I don't think I can...well, why won't they work, eh?
Roya: Well...
EG: Oh nevermind now...I have things to do. Important things. XENOIA!!!
EXK: Yes, Cap'n.
EG: I have to go talk to Flannery. I'll be back. Make sure they don't bloody well catch us up. If they're gaining...well, just come get me.
*drags Flannery into her cabin*
IBF: Er...
EG: You can sit down. I'm so sorry about all this, it's just...well, a few things. You know why I asked you for help, right?
IBF: Yes, of course.
EG: Good, thank you so much for agreeing to come. I don't like having to call in favors, but...
IBF: Well, after Singapore, I certainly do owe you. It's been so long, I was half-expecting you'd forgotten. But I'm glad to do what I can for you.
EG: So glad to hear it. *sighs* Okay, I don't have long before I have to get back out there, but there's a few questions first.
IBF: If I may say so, Cap'n, you've changed much since I saw you last.
EG: *snaps* Well I didn't have a ship or a crew last time you saw me. My situation seems to have improved vastly.
IBF: What, with people chasing you and all?
EG: *sighs again* See, Flannery, this is what I live for. This kind of excitement. If I'm not constantly stressed and ready to have a heart attack over various things I'm not having fun. I chase is what I've been needing. When you've lived this long, some people, like myself, start to live solely on adrenaline.
IBF: As a fellow immortal, I can understand.
EG: *rolling her eyes* You're not immortal, you're dead. There's a difference.
IBF: Er. Yes, Cap'n. I s'pose you're right. Anyway. Questions.

And suddenly, Willow bursts in, having realized her Captain was alone in a room with a bat, and hoping she hadn't been conked or naught. . .

Indril Anarion · 07-20-2003, 01:28 PM

Luthien: *Hearing the racket* What's goin' on up there? Hopefully nothing too horrible.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 07-20-2003, 02:57 PM

In the cabin, still. . .

EG: Willow, what can I do for you?
Willow: Um...well...*looks between the Cap'n and Flannery nervously*
EG: Willow, I'll call you back in in a moment, but I really need to talk to Flannery alone right now.
Willow: *looks horrified* But Cap'n...wouldn't it be...I mean...er...*now just looks confused*
EG: I'll call for you, Willow.
Willow: *sighs* Yes, Cap'n. *exits, chased by a bear*

I mean, she wasn't chased by a bear. Nevermind. Forget the bear. Anyone who gets the reference gets a virtual cookie. Not you, Tano, I know you know it!

Anyway, back to the story...

Now Tano bursts in.
Tano: Sorry to interrupt Cap'n, but you might want to know, well, we've put on some good speed, and the other ship doesn't look like it'll catch us up in a while yet. Out of sight by now. But we're keeping a sharp lookout, just in case. Cap'n.
EG: GOod, good. Thanks, tell me if anything else happens. Oh, and just in case, ready the cannons--we never know what'll happen.
Tano: Uh, Cap'n, we tossed over all the 'munition when you said lose everything heavy. Back when we were running to the ship.
EG: Do we still have silverware and whatnot? Load it with anything.
Tano: Yes, Cap'n! *grins* I've been wanting to do that for along time, Cap'n!
*leaves*

Tanoliel · 07-20-2003, 08:32 PM

Tano: Hey, Roya! You want to help load the cannons?
Roya: With what munition?
Tano: Silverware. The nice stuff we picked up a while ago. None of us use it, anyway.

The last sane person · 07-20-2003, 09:43 PM

Roya: *gives Tano a strange look* Sure! *shrugs and goes to help her*

Tano: Thank you! Now help keep watch for the Faeries!

Roya: you sure you didnt drink anything odd back there?

Tanoliel · 07-21-2003, 12:32 AM

Tano: *realizes Roya hasn't been explained to* Oh. No, not that I can remember. See, apparently Willow is connected real high up in the faerie realm, and they've got a ship that's chasing us--and we tossed most of the munition overboard to lighten up way back. So now we've got silverware to defend ourselves with.
Roya: Ah-ha...

Eruviel Greenleaf · 07-21-2003, 01:04 AM

Meanwhile, the Faerie ship was still a ways behind. It looked pretty good for the Nal. For now.

Back in the cabin, the strange girl from the inn popped up from behind the...from the floor, shouted "conk the elf! and give me my cookie!" and disappeared in a flash of patchcoat.

The Cap'n looks back to Flannery, raises her eyebrow, and begins the questions.
EG: So, what was that about "your highness" in reference to Willow?

She goes up to her and notices the dude she has by the wrist Roya: Hoy there cap'n! whats all this? and who is this? points to Flannery Cap'n: I'll tell you later! Go help Tano with the weapons! Just in case they do catch up to us! oh, and did you get the papers? Roya:salutes and calls over her shoulder Ay ay cap'n! I did get those papers, but i doubt theey'll do us any good! __________________ Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

Roya: Well... EG: Oh nevermind now...I have things to do. Important things. XENOIA!!! EXK: Yes, Cap'n. EG: I have to go talk to Flannery. I'll be back. Make sure they don't bloody well catch us up. If they're gaining...well, just come get me. drags Flannery into her cabin IBF: Er... EG: You can sit down. I'm so sorry about all this, it's just...well, a few things. You know why I asked you for help, right? IBF: Yes, of course. EG: Good, thank you so much for agreeing to come. I don't like having to call in favors, but... IBF: Well, after Singapore, I certainly do owe you. It's been so long, I was half-expecting you'd forgotten. But I'm glad to do what I can for you. EG: So glad to hear it. sighs Okay, I don't have long before I have to get back out there, but there's a few questions first. IBF: If I may say so, Cap'n, you've changed much since I saw you last. EG: snaps Well I didn't have a ship or a crew last time you saw me. My situation seems to have improved vastly. IBF: What, with people chasing you and all? EG: sighs again See, Flannery, this is what I live for. This kind of excitement. If I'm not constantly stressed and ready to have a heart attack over various things I'm not having fun. I chase is what I've been needing. When you've lived this long, some people, like myself, start to live solely on adrenaline. IBF: As a fellow immortal, I can understand. EG: rolling her eyes You're not immortal, you're dead. There's a difference. IBF: Er. Yes, Cap'n. I s'pose you're right. Anyway. Questions. And suddenly, Willow bursts in, having realized her Captain was alone in a room with a bat, and hoping she hadn't been conked or naught. . . __________________ Eruviel Greenleaf in a past life.

Willow: Um...well...looks between the Cap'n and Flannery nervously EG: Willow, I'll call you back in in a moment, but I really need to talk to Flannery alone right now. Willow: looks horrified But Cap'n...wouldn't it be...I mean...er...now just looks confused EG: I'll call for you, Willow. Willow: sighs Yes, Cap'n. exits, chased by a bear I mean, she wasn't chased by a bear. Nevermind. Forget the bear. Anyone who gets the reference gets a virtual cookie. Not you, Tano, I know you know it! Anyway, back to the story... Now Tano bursts in. Tano: Sorry to interrupt Cap'n, but you might want to know, well, we've put on some good speed, and the other ship doesn't look like it'll catch us up in a while yet. Out of sight by now. But we're keeping a sharp lookout, just in case. Cap'n. EG: GOod, good. Thanks, tell me if anything else happens. Oh, and just in case, ready the cannons--we never know what'll happen. Tano: Uh, Cap'n, we tossed over all the 'munition when you said lose everything heavy. Back when we were running to the ship. EG: Do we still have silverware and whatnot? Load it with anything. Tano: Yes, Cap'n! grins I've been wanting to do that for along time, Cap'n! leaves __________________ Eruviel Greenleaf in a past life.

See, apparently Willow is connected real high up in the faerie realm, and they've got a ship that's chasing us--and we tossed most of the munition overboard to lighten up way back. So now we've got silverware to defend ourselves with. Roya: Ah-ha... __________________ Wisdom for Short Attention Spans...Ozy and Millie. It rocks.

For now. Back in the cabin, the strange girl from the inn popped up from behind the...from the floor, shouted "conk the elf! and give me my cookie!" and disappeared in a flash of patchcoat. The Cap'n looks back to Flannery, raises her eyebrow, and begins the questions. EG: So, what was that about "your highness" in reference to Willow? __________________ Eruviel Greenleaf in a past life.
