Moonlight Lagoon

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

"no cause then i get fatter and.... and i can never hope to get a guy interested after that not like i can now." Takes a big swig of the rum. "Besides this time i know what the problem is.... why do i even try"

[Captain Tito]

*a bottle washes up on shore with a postcard from Captain Tito inside.*

Dear Lovlies and Lads,

Havin a good time. Got a chance to run around me old hometown a bit. Bought some stuff they don't sell up me way, although I will say me little town does better sellin stuff like Grape Grog and Pirate Booty than this bigger area. Hope ye are enjoyin the fine libations and succulent morsels I whipped up for ye before I set off. Mary ye was sad when I left. I want ye to know that ye will find a guy who does care. I went through (with gals) some of what ye are goin through now, and it does hurt. But it does get better and ye can recover, and meet a lad who loves ye fer you and fer who you are. It will come to pass cuz you are such a great gal.

Hugs to all (just high 5s to all the guys ) and see you soon!!

[Merrydeath]

*Merry sees the far horizon beckoning to her, but she hears a voice calling from the shore. Which way to go? New things to see and people to do, or... with a mind full of wishes and promises she turns back to the shore and to her friends and loves. Her boat lands on the sand, and she steps ashore, lifting her skirts from the waves.*

Tito, I hope your trip is fun and full of good times.

Mary, good luck with your problems. I hope you find out what you need to be happy. We all deserve happiness, as long as we don't hurt anyone else. Cheers sweety.

Gets the bag of magoes and plantains she had in the boat, and makes up some mango passion juice to add to the rum, and some raosted plantains.

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

*looks at the bottle mostly empty and sets it down by the rock she was sitting on and walks away to join the others stumbling along the way*

[Laura Silver]

::picks up the postcard and reads it, happy Tito is having a good time, and then takes a small dagger out of her hidden sheath and pins the postcard to a nearby tree so all can see it::

Welcome back Merry m'dear, tis a pleasure havin' ye back among us.

::sprawls out on a flat rock and begins to doze off::

[Laura Silver]

I can't do this, I'm going crazy

::collapses into a pile of meta-analysis studies, extrinsic and intrinsic reward reports, annotated bibliographies, and hand-written sociology notes::

There's no way I can finish this by tuesday AND study for my chemistry test!

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

yikes you sound like me a few weeks ago

[Laura Silver]

::rubs her face and attempts to take deep breathes::

Aye, I thought that I would take these two nice long articles to use cause they would provide me with more information for my research right? Wrong, I'm starting to learn how limited my sociological vocabulary really is, my dictionary has become me new best friend. On top o' that I am working on remember all the different chemical ions and types of equations. But I just keep saying to myself, if I can make it until this friday all these assignments will be done and I can see me lad again. Tis what keeps me going.

::sighs and returns to her meta-analysis article, attempting to tranlate it into common english so she can explain it to her fellow students who pay no attention in class::

[Diego Santana de la Vega]

I thank thee fer the wonderously appointed plate CaptainLaura and here is that grog of choice, it be a mind wrecking strong batch it be. Lil lass Mary, Yer eyes they be swollen! Is there room to sit and share a tale of the sea (ergh! is that tail of the sea?) These shrimps are of a most deliscious appeal, Here lift yer haed and open yer mouth and take this bite. Yer not allergics to shell fishes then?

[Laura Silver]

Thank ye Diego, strong is how I like me drinks... and men too in fact.

[Diego Santana de la Vega]

strong of body, mind and spirit! Tiss the way it always should be, but ifin yer likin the strong of men while upwind and strong is what ye call the scent, I fear ye then Captain Laura.

I once sold a man (we found adrift) as a slave in Barbury.

His paperwork did point out in black

that along with being of poor work ethic

:) his personal hygiene it too did lack. :)

[Guest SirenSong]

Nay I think she means like I do..Men with backbone and constitution!..Aye strong men..Men that are comfortable being themselves and confidant of who they are. Unafraid to take what they want..makes our hearts flutter it does!

[Laura Silver]

Aye, Diego, what Siren said. A man who is comfortable with who he is and what he believes.

::slips into the water for a swim, dreaming of a certian someone all this talk has reminded her of::

[Captain Tito]

*approaches the Lagoon in a small row boat so as not to chop the waters.*

Aye mateys good to be back among ye.

*Swims to Laura, gives a hug, swims to the shore and gives Mary, Siren, Christine, and Merry hugs and a high 5 to Diego (and any other guys around)*

Twas a nice weekend out at me mum's. Gotta chance ta chill for a change. Now we be "chillin" back home here as it SNOWED fer the 1st time this year, today!

Ye are right ladies!! Men have to have guts, self discipline, and a sense of worth and identity that isn't to be yanked around by others.

We men need to be comfortable with who we are not inhibited to act as ourselves. :)

[Laura Silver]

Welcome back Tito! ::waves to him until she begins to sink under the water and then decides she needs her hands to keep afloat::

Me and me cousin were very excited to see the snow, we walked out into it at the same time, being the goofy people we are, and our happiness lasted until we had to get all the snow off the windows of me car oh well, all good things must come to an end. I just hope I'm parked on the right side o' the street!

And cheers to what ye say about men! ::applaudes and sinks under the water::

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

Mary returned now fully sober having drained most of the alchool away and now has a small smile. "Ahoy there"

[Laura Silver]

Ah, Mary m'dear, welcome back from the world of the completly smashed to the world of the semi-sober! Are things lookin' up for ye yet?

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

Kind of in a way. I think the main problem now is how can i deal with mixed signals from one of me good guy friends.

[Laura Silver]

Oooooo. Mixed signals I had that happen to me with me good guy friend, but it turned out well for me :) turns out he was giving all the signals, but I was afraid I was interperting them wrong and he was afraid to say anything as well because he thought he was misinterperting my signals I guess the best thing is to just be honest and then deal with the consequences.

[Captain Tito]

Signals be tough to read Mary. I found out all ye can do is try yer best.

Eventually ye have to say something to the one ye have in sight just to find out whats really going on, kinda like Laura said, ye must be honest and go with whatever the result is. If its not a good result, then chances are ye wouldn't have wanted to be with that person in the first place.

[Laura Silver]

::nods in agreement wih Tito:: Aye, best to find out where ye stand, tis tough to do, but it's tha best course:: Hops out of the water and dissapears into the shrubbery which triggers a monologe of the shrubbery scene from Monty Python::

Bring us.... A SHRUBBERY!!!

NO! Not a shrubbery!

Yes! With a little white fence and a path down the middle!

A path! A path! Yes a path!!

::returns in a few moments with a large carved wooden bowl filled with a mysterious yummy goodness::

Anyone here ever had Muddy Buddies? They be one o' me sugery addictions! Try one! ::offers the bowl to those around her::

Tis chex cereal covered in melted peanut butter and chocolate with alayer of powdered sugar on top!

::grabs a handful for herself and munches on it as she sits back down::

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

Thank ye for the advice but quite honestly i dont think he's into me so there be another one i must let go

[Captain Tito]

Anyone here ever had Muddy Buddies?

*Gives Laura a big hug*

Aye yes they be awesome!! May I get ye all more liquid to washes them down??

there be another one i must let go

Aye Mary while it may hurt a bit now in the longrun it probably be a good choice, if he's not into ye.

Ye will find one who is, do not worry. :)

[Bloody_Mary_Bonney]

but knowing he's not into me dosnt make it any less painful

[Laura Silver]

Very true Mary, very true.
