Cap'n I think you crashed in your tent, then got up for some reason and talked with someone.......I can't remember exactly, but I think that's what happened..... Great pictures everyone!! I expect to be drawing soon!

We made it home yesterday safe and sound. I'm sorry Silkie about the 2 missed trains at least your home. I'm going to look at some of the pictures Kate put up (also good to hear your home). Miss you all already.

But can't wait to see everyones! It was nice to see everyone again and finally getting to meet Miss Cheeky. All I have to say is "MY FEET!!!!" Thanks again.

Well I'm 2 months late and feel down right awful. But better now than never. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CAP'N!!!!!!! how old are you now? lol You don't have to answer that.

Good, that'll give my breeches and stocking more character...

Good lord I haven't been on in a while! Well I must admit I haven't read all the posts but I had an idea for the PIP that I posted about for 08 last year thought I'd bring it up. Thank you Lord for copy and paste Both pyrates and pyrate hunters capture someone (or one of them does) like we did in 07. And when we trade off, someone could disagree with the choice and as the prisoner from the opposite side walks back to their crew or away from them, the person who disagrees could pull out a pistol and shoot them in the leg. Of course the prisoner grabs his/her leg and falls to the ground. The surgeon could yell at the person who shot the prisoner about how they had a fair trade. And of couse the captain would be very displeased (or not) And then the surgeon could opperate on the prisoner's leg right there. And I gladly volunter to get shot in the leg...ooo fake blood Of course I don't have to be the one to get shot (but would like to). So yeah that's pretty much it. Oh I did skim something about music?

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times, finding out I was lying in a bed. "Nit again." I mumbled to myself. I was getting a little irritated being drugged most of the time. "Tha' beh dah last tem I accept a drenk unliss I per et meself." I spoke, sitting up in the bed. Even though I didn't like being drugged, it still helped with the pain. I looked around the room, seeing no one was here. I was just about to go downstairs when I heard footsteps coming up them. I watched as the door opened gently. Meave stepped in the room surprised I had awaken, carrying a bucket of water and sponge. "Ah glad ya be awake." Maeve said closing the door behind her. "Are ya ready fer a sponge bath, Miss?" She paused waiting for me to answer with my name. I sat there for a moment chewing my lower lip, not sure if I wanted to answer. Maeve saw I unsure about answering, so she set the bucket down and sat on the foot of the bed. "Come now. Ya can't tell meh ya fergot yer name." She said sweetly. "Nay I 'aven't Mess but." I replied stopping. Maeve looked at me and raised her eyebrows encouraging me to continue. I sighed. "Meh name es Marie." Maeve smiled. Pleased she got me to talk to her. "Well then Miss Marie. Are ya ready fer a sponge bath?" She asked again. "Maybeh." I said uncertain. She laughed and signaled for me to take off my shirt. I stepped out of bed and I stood in front of her. I took off my shirt but didn't remove the blanket that had been wrapped around my chest. I got my arms, stomache and chest clean. And Maeve helped me clean my back.

At the Chirurgeons House I saw the woman Maeve (I now learned was her name) give BriarRose a cloak and then told her to go. I wondered what was going on, nothing good I supposed. Putting on my shoes and forcing myself onto my feet, using an arm from a chair for support. "I must beh go'in. I 'ave to find work some'ere on a shep or sum'tin." I reach into my pockets to see if I had any coins to pay for the treatment, but found out I had none. "Damn mongrels robbed meh." I muttered under my breath. I began to sway and quickly grabbed the arm of the chair. How I wished I had my pistol that night, at least I could have shot one of those men that had beat me.

Shouts awoke me. "Marry her?!" I opened my eyes to find that I had found sleep earlier that morning and obviously been asleep for some time. I felt the kitten snuggled up next to me. I blinked a few times to get my eyes to focus. "Oh, so now ye wan' ti come ti meh do ye?" I said quietly looking at the black kitten, stroking its soft fur. “Briar!! I think ya’d best come here….now!” I heard someone shout. "Now wha's des a'bout marriage?" I asked the cat propping myself onto my elbows, I making sure not to stir him.
