Pew Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Aye, send 'em on over to the table near the fireplace, my "Seat of Government" as it were. Such business is best conducted in such a convivial environment. That it is also away from the prying eyes of those sniveling scribes His Majesty keeps infesting my "official" offices with is purely coincidental. A round for the house, Master Pew.

Ransom Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 Takes up that offer of a round, sits me carcass down by the fire, and orders a hot toddy. Then I may discretely slip out to see Patrick and arrange a little business before heading south to do a bit of trading. Yeah, trading. ::Ironic smile:: Pew, you might be putting your order for "goods" in before I depart. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

bloodyblade Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) Chief Nautical Acquisition Specialist?... Detecting skepticism in the voice of Red-Handed Jill', Bloodyblade calls " A round of the finest ale for the pub", walks over to the fair lass introduces himself with a bow and replies : A born leader that's what I be, hear the words I say to thee, have a ale to soothe your thirst, I am a leader that always goes first, over the railing when there's a ship to be boarded, drawing a map when there's treasure to be hoarded, with hands on the lines when setting a sail, at pulling me blade when flintlocks may fail, caring for those that fall from a wound, to stay by their side sunshine or moon, to speak kind words o'er those that have past, and sing songs of 'em so their memories will last, Bloodyblade raises his voice and addresses the entire pub lifting his tankard he toasts: None be closer than me and me crew, bonded by loyalty and the blood that we drew, All who hear the words that I say, lead me, follow me, or get out of me way. Edited January 26, 2010 by bloodyblade Bloodyblade
Red-Handed Jill Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Nice verse, but yep - still skeptical. Read some of my previous posts about how I spend my spare time in real life and you'll see why...
Capt. Sterling Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 But Jill, dear Lady, he did give the opportunity for you to lead...

Red-Handed Jill Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 He only listed three alternatives. There are more... And my stance is about anyone nominating themselves chief of anything off the bat after just showing up. (You recall the debacle with the "pirate lord"?... Just trying to head off one of THOSE situations...)
Matty Bottles Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Does this town have a brewery? I think this town needs a brewery. I'll hire Mickey Souris as brewmaster.

There are no poetry-enshrined freighters on the sea now; it is a prosy life when we have no time to bid one another good morning." - Capt. Joshua Slocum
LadyBarbossa Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 Nope... don't think there's a brewery of any sort... yet. Awww.. come on, Bottles! Ye can have one, too! Aye, Jill... that "pirate lord" issue is still fresh in m' mind. Them's some smart words, but, I can understand Jill's hesitation. An'... by th' way, bloodyblades... I don't drink ale, or stout, or guinness or beer, or jager or anything of that sort. :::Cringes and gags::: rum, whiskey, wine, gin, scotch, anything else that be out there but NOTHIN' of the beer family for me, thank ye very much. Right nice place there, Dorian. Fabulous view, too. And... I don't think we can have too many ships. Unless those ships be bombardin' us. PEW!... who be buyin' that round? I think I'll join Ransom and take up whomever offered that round! ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Capt. Sterling Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (You recall the debacle with the "pirate lord"?... Just trying to head off one of THOSE situations...) ummm quite right...once was enough with that "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Ransom Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Sure, come join me, Lady B. And I'm with you, keep that beer, ale, stout, etc out of my mug! Nasty! I'm just relaxing a bit before I head south to do a little trading. Waiting for a certain tavern owner to give me his "grocery list." ::wink:: Got any requests of your own? I'll probably be heading to Charles Town, and then further south. Caution forbids me to say exactly where. As for Chief of anything, sorry bloodyblades, but the Rakehell already has a leader — me. She needs no chief, thanks ever so. Declaring yourself leader of anything straight away, doesn't go down well around here. It's better to be part of the team instead. Nuff said. ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

LadyBarbossa Posted January 26, 2010 Author Posted January 26, 2010 LMAO!! Yo'r such a pirate, Bottles. Aye, Ransom... In fact, I do have a list, granted not overly huge... just want a variety of fabrics - fine, regular, illegal, etc - and some ebony and rosewood and whatever else sorts of woods ye can obtain. Hopin' to give Cross some business makin' me some fine furniture. I've some sugar and tobacco ready to be shipped. Hopefully... some rum as soon as Bottles and Bagsley get their brewery up soon. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed."

Bright Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) If yea know me yea knows I came to these lands to make whiskey but the Spanish and English burned me home and crops and that bees why ayes had to go on account. To the town folks ayes bees a bumboat man,lighterman,fisherman,hoyman on occasion and shipswright and axlewright, but better know on the docks as a rigger and pulley man or jacksmith. Ayes have a sharecropper working me lands now and he thinks there will be a good crop of hemp this year. Ayes let em stay in me caretakers place they didnt find it when they burned, till he can build a place for himself and the slaves on a small parcel of land of mine if he makes a profit this year he can keep the parcel and what he has built on it. If not ayes will try anther cropper while ayes been doing so well as a picaroon. When not on board me boat ayes has several lasses of foggers along the coast that takes me in while their husbands bees out of town on business they tend their stores and trades me swag in their shops while their usbans bees away ;-} Edited February 17, 2010 by Bright

Quartermaster James Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Nope... don't think there's a brewery of any sort... yet. Ahem...(clears throat) While not a commercial establishment dedicated solely to manufacture of beer, beer will definitely be made on my farm. As also would be made cider, various wines, and distilled spirits. Of course, the more the merrier! Just don't think that for my being a farmer/naturalist you will find me always among the corn and soybeans! There will be an onsite smithy/farrier, carpenter/cooperage, laboratory and apothecary. There will also be livestock to consider, not just the husbandry thereof but also the butchering and processing. For that part of the farm not along a waterway, it would be good to have a small, well stocked lake. Well, as you can tell, I'm just getting started with the planning. I'm sure there's plenty more to add.

Ransom Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Oh, no, no, no. Not a map! Once there's map, then comes rules, regulations, and (shudder) TAXES!!!!

Quartermaster James Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 beware all ...quartermaster james is gettin ideas...next thing you know there will be some sort of "map" of our little town. Easy now. I'm just laying plans for my place, which will stay well outside any bounds of incorporation. But do take care: the acreage between the town and farm will be the hunting grounds. Tax collectors are always in season!

LadyBarbossa Posted January 27, 2010 Author Posted January 27, 2010 Nay, Cross. I'll be ensurin' ye will stay in yo'r proper business and have yo'r proper freedom. Work be comin' yo'r way. I needs a couple of tables, several chairs, a new bed, etc. And HELL no, no taxes. Donations, perhaps... but no taxes. Granted I know th' value of taxes but... not here. Hmm... Ransom a cartographer. Aye. Oh, I think Sea Rover be one, too. I think Black John stated he was. Now... where th' devil be those two gents? Pew... not sure what more ye can place me under (trying not t' monopolize here, just seein' a gap in needs)... besides Seamstress and plantation owner, how's 'bout I open up a general goods store, too? Sell some items. After all, we needs stockings, spices, fabric, brushes, plates and cookware, etc. See 'bout finding a cobler and have a store sellin' footwear. Perhaps an Inn? I'd be rather a cheesy child t' name it th' Admiral Benbow. LOL Aye, Pew! Tis a celebratory .... whatever, it be. Oh, an' James... Those "tax collectors" that come 'round.... they be th' reason why m' carbine be close within reach. And true, we needs a butcher. Especially when there be a fat hog t' roast. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!

Can anybody here read what I write? guess ill be sold into servitude for my debts....and its all quartermaster james' fault... Really now, with all the help I'll be needing at my place, you don't think I'd offer you a chance at an honest living? Hell man! If'n you're any good, you're invited to ply your trade under my capital until you've amassed enough to pay your debts and establish your own shop! What do you do? I thought you were a tailor or such, but Lady B seems to think you a carpenter. Can you cooper? place isnt even real and hes collecting taxes... I believe taxes were Ransom's idea. I'm explicitly outside of any incorporated boundaries, and therefore free from any taxes; neither would I levy any. Oh, an' James... Those "tax collectors" that come 'round.... they be th' reason why m' carbine be close within reach. Allright now, the Lady seems to have the hang of the realm... Oh, I think Sea Rover be one, too. I think Black John stated he was. And what I do at sea is nobody's business but that of mine and my crew!
