Sava: Ditto about the ship stuff, except I hate to cook! But I love to make Chai and assorted coffees and teas and pastries. Your wish is my command, except for making regular food. My purse is at your disposal, too - I'm a great hand in a fight!

Lady Willow Rose · 05-01-2006, 07:59 PM

Eresse considered the Captain's words silently. "Skills, skills," she mumbled. "What skills?" Then the light turned on upstairs. She skipped forward and proclaimed loudly,

"I'm very good with rum. I can win a drinking contest against anybody. Except for my father, of course. I'm also quite accomplished at tying knots! I can slip out of any trap, fight off any sea gull and can come in handy at the oddest times." She smiled winningly at them all. "Sound good?"

Farimir Captain of Gondor · 05-02-2006, 01:28 AM

Sharkbait: Well, Captain. I have no problem joinin' you merry bunch here. *looking at IB who again shows his teeth* But, what exactly is it for me? You see, I've just spent a long time on an island with no idea of who I am or where I'm from and to tell you the truth, I don't really care. I'd be more than happy to take up a job of one of those poor souls you dumped over board, but I want a cut of the action, if you know what I mean.

EXK: A cut of the action?! You're lucky you still have the breathe to even speak these words.

Sharkbait: I'm well aware of that Captain, and I do appreciate you not feedin' me to one of the crew, but; from what I've seen of things so far is, you have an innate ability of finding trouble and loosing crew members.

EXK:The only thing you need to worry about right now is not takin' a walk down the plank. So, the only thing I want to hear come out of your whale trap is 'I'll take the dirtiest job you have Captain'

*The crew begins to smile and get jumpy with the possibility of seeing this guy take a dive off the plank.*

Sharkbait: *bowing his head* I'll take the dirtiest job you have Cap'n.

Telcontar_Dunedain · 05-02-2006, 11:25 AM

Erenion: I'll do anything Captain. I have experience on the seas. I captained my own ship, that's how I got here.

Earniel: Not something to boast about, is it?

Erenion: True, but I still know how to handle myself and a ship at sea.

Lady Willow Rose · 05-05-2006, 04:31 PM

Eresse patted Sharkbait's shoulder. "Don't worry, lad. Deep down, all these pirates are big softies." EXK glared at her fiercely. "Very, very, very deep down."

Acalewia · 05-06-2006, 10:42 AM

Rana tried to hide a smile.

***Earniel*** · 05-06-2006, 03:27 PM

*Aboard the Nal*

EXK: Quite. Now...*looks over new crew members again* Rana, you'll be our new helmswoman. Your Sea-Elf side should feel right at home there. Erenion and Sharkbait, you'll be deckhands. Eresse, your skill at ropes and knots will be useful in the masts and sails, you get to be a trimmer. Sava... *rubs chin thoughtfully* I'm not sure what to do with you...

Sicirus: She repaired the purse-hole in the sail succesfully and quick. Perhaps she'll do well as another trimmer?

EXK: *hesitant* I'm not sure I want her up there with those lethal accents.

Sava: *slightly embarrased* Er... don't worry about that, I only had one.

EXK: Okay, Sava, trimmer it is. Eärniel, if you ever tire of those two dots, give a fair warning, aye? Never guessed those things could be so dangerous...

Eärniel: *protective* I quite like my double dots, captain. They're all that stands between me and jokes about being named after hearing organs.

EXK: Then it's agreed. Crew, what say you of your new job?

Lady Willow Rose · 05-07-2006, 07:32 PM

Eresse smiled brightly. "Oh, I'm thrilled to tears, Captain. One quick question, may I have at least one bottle of rum a day?"

Acalewia · 05-07-2006, 08:01 PM

Rana: I thank thee, Captain. *gives a slight bow*

***Rían*** · 05-07-2006, 11:28 PM

Sava: right-o, cap'n!

***Rían*** · 05-08-2006, 04:28 PM

Sava: Cap'n, may I suggest that the newbies here serve a round o' drinks to the crew? We need to wet our whistles together so we can work together! *whips out her mini Chai machine*

klatukatt · 05-08-2006, 04:47 PM

*And so the Nal got under way. The sun set on the edge of a clear ocean, so the captian did not see a problem with allowing the crew some merry making.*

Korush: A health to our five new crew members!

*Rana, Sava, Eresse, Erenion, and Sharkbait each got a huge mug and the chant started. "Chug! Chug! Chug!" Eresse downed hers right away. Sava finished hers and got a half lit smile on her face. Rana and Erenion glanced at each other before downing the heavy brew. Sharkbait spluttered and almost choked. A huge cheer went up.*

Bob: Pardon, but what are they all drinking.

Korush: Eh? Ale, mate. Try some.

Bob: *catches mug and takes a sip* Alcohol? Made from fermented grains. Bitter. Facinating.

Eresse: Ah, that's just swill. THIS is rum!

*Eresse shoved the bottle in Bob's mouth. Bob drank for a few seconds then fell over backwards and lay on the deck with her eyes wide open.*

Eresse: Whoops! That was a bit much, I guess.

Korush: You all right, mate?

Bob: *sits up very suddenly* Oh rapture! *holds hand in front of her face* I feel so... Real! This corporeal body has so many facets!

*Bob continued to stare at her hand as Korush and Eresse went back to the festivites.*

Acalewia · 05-08-2006, 06:08 PM

Rana: *smiling* Don't tell me that's the first time the vampire has had rum!

Lady Willow Rose · 05-08-2006, 07:16 PM

Eresse grinned. "Oh, it's definitely a first for the vampire. That spark of rapture is a dead give-away." She downed a mug of rum and sighed contentedly. "Ah, rum, my darling beauty. How I've missed you."

"Haven't you only gone without for about three days?" Rana asked.

"What's your point?"

Acalewia · 05-08-2006, 08:06 PM

I've gone with out it for 2 months
*Downs a mug*

Lady Willow Rose · 05-08-2006, 08:08 PM

Eresse paled. "Two...months?" she screeched. Everyone stilled and looked at her oddly. "BOTTLES!" she shouted. "We need at least 5 bottles of rum here at this moment."

Still shiving at the thought of being rum-less for two months, she took another deep gulp from her mug.

Acalewia · 05-08-2006, 08:21 PM

Rana: *laughing* Rum is my weakness, not my addiction, Eresse. *still chuckling at Eresse's reaction*

Lady Willow Rose · 05-08-2006, 09:08 PM

"It's not an addiction," Eresse mumbled. "It's a way of life." Rana rolled her eyes but decided not to pursue the argument. She was starting to like the quirky and often unstable rum-lover.

Lady Marion Magdalena · 05-08-2006, 09:45 PM

Ignatius Bob: *coming up to obtain drinks for himself and Koroush* Huh? What are you talking about? I've been a pirate far longer than I've been a vampire, I was practically weaned on rum!

*He sees the Other stretched out on the deck and realizes whta must have happened*

Ignatius Bob: That *he points at Bob the Other* is not a vampire. That is an Other, normally nameless beings made of concetrated chaotic energy to give the highly simpliefied explanation. This particular Other took on the name Bob for the sake of the crew's convenience. The blue androgynous creature is Bob. I am Ignatius Bob, sometimes called simply by my surname, Flannery. Remember it.

*He grabs two bottles of the rum and goes back down below. Leaving behind some exceedingly confuzzled new crewmembers*

Lady Willow Rose · 05-08-2006, 09:56 PM

Eresse thought about being confused for a few moments and then decided to bond with her beloved rum. Rum was the source of true happiness. She curled up with three bottles and watched the party in a haze of rum induced happiness.
