Captain P.E.W. Check. I called Pew earlier today and left a message, but in all fairness, he PMed the phone number to me. Still, he called me back and we discussed traditional tattoos, work commutes, owning older homes, The Watch Dog, the tall-ship Sultana, school boards, heraldry and Japanese and Normandy re-enactments. All in all it was a great conversation on a wide range of subjects and it was a pleasure to speak to a friend and officer of the 'Dog. Harry Silkie Red Cat Jenny Dorian Lasseter Siren, Captain of the Poseidon (Black Syren) Red-Handed Jill Maeve Jim Hawkins Kass Ol Man From the Sea CrazyCholeBlack Captain P.E.W.

Cutlass...? No. I brandish 'the look'. Just ask Maeve.

The 'AYES' have it. Carry on, Miss McDonough.

I shall, but with the promise of even deeper reds to come, I'm tempted to wait. Still, I shall send you a PM at once.

I'm placing Silkie in charge of getting Syren kidnapped for PIP. All those in favor...? Aye.

The update is now shown on the Roll Call. Welcome aboard the Mercury.

Is the one I just posted about for sale?

Aye. The dog watches make everyone insomniacs on alternate days.

That's a nice little tidbit, Daniel. Thanks for the additional reference on bloody flags. I seldom have the time to do half of the research I want to do.

Nigel Brisbane.

Here, here! I hope the day was grand.

Excellent. I do like the darker red of the reds. The onion bottles are very nice.

I would try doing searches for heraldic mermaids and dogs. There are numerous books on the subject and a google image search will yield a fair number of them.

I have been known to, but the definition broadens considerably when I do. Perhaps dance is not the right word. Perhaps 'attempt' is the better word for it.

If the Pub management would like to sticky it they may. I'll leave the Scuttlebutt chat up as long as they would like to use it. Management could also create their own Live Harmony account and relink it to the chat button or link Scuttlebutt to the chat button. It's too bad the former chat had so many issues. It was a fairly interactive system.

If you can get a few swords made which are highly accurate, you will not want for clients. There are people here who would line up for a good GAoP blade. Just ask Captain Midnight about his cartridge box.

You're living on borrowed daylight, Miss Ashcombe. When you die I'll see that you are buried sometime between 3 and 4 in the morning and all of the mourners shall wear pajamas.

First, a few questions. Where are you traveling from? Are you driving or flying? Which camp are you hoping to attend? These questions will have some impact on how we answer. If you attend by staying in the Archangel encampment, Captain Sterling might have some special instructions or advice. If you stay in the 1720 Mercury Careening camp, I would give you some specific suggestions. This would also apply if you asked to join Hurricane's Buccaneer Camp. As it stands, food is still be discussed in different ways among the three groups, so that might not be answered for a few months. It is nice to see another face. I shall add you to the roll call.

Welcome aboard.

I love you. I also despise you for having better kit than mine.

Niiice.

Aye, and my lee has never been my best side. Maeve laughs whenever she hears people describe me as shy. She has heard it a great many times now, and knowing me as she does, she never gets over how strange and ridiculous it is to hear me described as 'quiet' or 'timid'.

I know that our numbers are looking ever so good this year, but I would like to take the time to push recruitment. We could never have enough good pirates at this event. The promise of 'atmosphere' at the encampments is making for a very exciting event this year. I can hardly wait to see Hurricane's Buccaneer camp, let alone the others. I'm still hoping to bring my brother and several others along. Please invite people. And don't be afraid to approach people that you've never spoken to about pyracy. There are a great many people out there who would love this event and just don't know it yet.

Infamy over fame...aye. I don't mind. I've had the strangest reputations in my lifetime. I remember working at once particular job for some two months before learning that my coworkers thought I was a devil-worshipper. I was reading a book at the time called "Lucifer's Hammer". It is a book about a comet that hits the Earth and has nothing to do with the devil in any shape or form. They also thought that I was 'shy'.

I would suggest bringing a pension for dance and strong drink. You might also prepare jokes, good humor and some interesting anecdotes. There seems to be a scandalous number of women coming to this party.
