William Brand

I'll join you. Here's to England and those who lost their lives today.

Infernal, eh? Since I assume that you do not mean "on fire", how about a whiskey sour?

Thank you, Master Lasseter. (tips hat) And a good morning, Christine. Thank you for the fare. I am quite sure this meal shall see me through today's work. Aye.

Master Lasseter. Permission to eat before going to work.

Oooooo...and cornbread.

Today's special... Chicken Caesar Pasta Cioppino Red Duck Curry

Aye, aye, sir. (gets a shovel and takes three muskets form the stores) I need two able seamen!

Well, lass. If you need someone to stand about looking irritable, I'm your man. I can scowl down my nose at strangers with distinction.

Sliante... ...sigh. That word is forever poisoned to me. Let it be "Cheers" between us.

Tempest. Quelle est jamais la matière ?

(tips hat) Mister Lasseter. As I am currenty waiting for the remainder of the crew to provide me with a list of their weapons, and am otherwise unemployed, is there a task I might perform whilst I wait?

I shall add them upon the roster and I thank you. Thank you for being forthcoming and welcome aboard.

there you go Master Lasseter. Congratulations on your appointment to the Watch Dog and all of its many responsibilities. To the Watch Dog. May every dog watch aboard her be on calm seas lined to the horizon with treasure ships.

Aye, aye! Sealegs, I'll be having that list now, post haste. Stow no luggage until you have made a full reckoning of your arms. (walks down to the Barrels n' Blades to retrieve his pistol and take what arms as need repairing)

Bad news...? Do I want to know in light of previous news? Here. http://www.cocktailguiden.com/cocktailbilder/romtoddy.jpg This is strong stuff. Care to talk about it?

(let's Dorian question Sealeg's background up and down before adding...) And you shall have to report an entire list of all of your arms, both of powder and of steel. I will have the list as soon as you are excepted aboard. That shall be your first order of the day. Too many of this crew has shirked the responsibility of posting to the arms roster. Aye. To many indeed.

Today's special is tuna casserole.

Here, here! (drinks along with Petee)

I am both amazed and relieved at this unexpected news. I have witnessed my share of the unnatural and otherworldly, but this tale is a on par with the most harrowing and remarkable that I have either heard or been privy to. Aye. Most unexpected.

(removes his hat and wipes his brow) I thank you. It took some work. (scans the flag to see how it flys)

Aye. Ice is a luxury indeed. Unless you have too much of it.

(having run up the Watch Dog's new jack, William turns to the crew who presently make up the ship's compliment) Ahoy, ye able sailors and officers of the Watch Dog. I have been asked and have asked of you all to make a recording of all personal armaments aboard this here ship. There are some of you which have not reported your firearms and blades to the roster. Please step forward now and proclaim those pistols, muskets, swords, hangers, cutlasses, knives and other implements of war which you possess. I shall take them down both on paper and in the hold if you please.
