Roger the Red Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 The Zombie Pirate Lowers the Cutlass til it's Tip touches the Sand as He Watches the Lovely Young Woman Approach- A tankard in Her Outstretched Hand. "There is no Fear in this One"The Voice in His Head tells Him as He Raises the Remains of His free Hand. And as She Guides the Tankard Tween His Bony Fingers, He Hears another Voice within His Mind- A Woman's Voice-Her Voice-"Aye, I Do Not Fear You, Mariner". He Takes the Tankard She Offers and Raises it to His Cracked and Bloodless Lips. He Cannot taste the Liquor, only imagines He Feels it's Effects- It is More the Woman's Act of Kindness that gives Him the Illusion of Warmth. He is Vaugely aware of the Man at His Feet, crawling off Backwards like a Crab. "Mary, Get Away from It!"He hisses. "Thankee, Mistress"Says the Voice Within the Creature and She Smiles Slightly, Shyly. Her Friends form a cautious circle around Them, Calling to Her "Mary! Get away from that Thing!" She Raises a Hand to Assure them- "It's OK- He's not going to Hurt Anybody" She Stares into those Strange Yellow Eyes"You Aren't going to Hurt Anybody, are You?" Her Voice was in Her Head again. He Gazed Long into Beautiful Eyes-and In a Moment Out of Time all the Experiences Flowed From the Shattered Shards of His Memories into Her Conciousness- And She Knew Him, Knew His Past, His Story. His Deathgrip loosened til the Cutlass Slipped and fell in the Sand. "Tell Me , Mariner- Tell Me What You Want" She Said with Her Eyes and After a Moment His wordless Reply Came " I want -to Say-GoodBye-to Elizabeth" Mary smiled that Beatific, Understanding Smile Again "Say Goodbye to Me, Mariner" She Spoke Out Loud And at that Moment, To Him, She Was Elizabeth- His Long Dead Love " Say Goodbye to Me in this World- and Join Me in the Next One, My Love" The Pirate Drew a Deep Sigh Spoke in That Raspy Unearthly Wheeze " GoodBye, Elizabeth-Good bye, My Love" And They Stood like Statues for a Time, Till The Creature closed His Eyes and Turned His Back on Her, Stepping Back Towards the Sea. Mary and Her Friends Watched as He Went- And with Each Step, Time Took it's toll, and the Mariner seemed to Turn to Sand Before their Eyes and vanish With the gentle Breeze...

Bloody_Mary_Bonney Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 um... i'll try Mary watched as the mariner fell to the age of time and the wind took him to rest. He would be with his love now and she smiled as the wind flew n circles around her. "He will be free now, to rest in the arms of another spirit." In the distance she could see a ghostly ship sail tord a harbor and then it was gone. As if to pick up the spirit that had been left behind. But why is the rum gone? Save a horse ride a cowboy!

Roger the Red Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Thank-You, Mary- that Was Lovely- Unfortunately, I 've Had too Much time to Think, So.... AN ALTERNATIVE EPILOUGE: They stood and Watched as the Pirate Vanished before Their Eyes- For a Long Moment, No-one Moved- Standing as if in Tableau-Then.. "What the Hell was that?" the One called Tito asked, Shaking his Head in Disbelief. "Man, I Knew We Were Drunk But..." Added the Rouge Mermaid "Was that for Real?" Merrydeath Queried And Suddenly They were All Talking At Once- Questioning, Trying to Explain away the Phenomena- All Rattling On in an Excited Din- All Except Mary Bonney, Who Stared Out to Sea long after the Others had Stopped. Slowly She Lowered Her Eyes to the Sand at Her Feet-Then Slowly Bent to The Sand to Lift the Mariners Ancient Sword- It felt like a Living thing in Her Hand as She Rose once More and Held It before the Fire's Light. It was then that She felt the Hand on Her Elbow and Heard Tito's Voice "C'mon Mary- Forget about Him -It would never have Worked.." He Joked Without a concious Thought- acting on Pure Instinct, She Wheeled about-Out of His grip , and As She Turned She Swung the Cutlass in a Wide Arc- For all it's Rust and Corrosion, the Blade was Still remarkabley Sharp-and It Sliced through Tito's Pinky Finger taking off the Tip at the The First Joint.. "What the ..." He Shouted in Surprised Pain- and They All Rushed Forward crying "Mary..Why..." They Stopped in Their Tracks When They saw Her Eyes- Catlike, Glowing the Color of Gold...And then She Spoke, in a Voice like Gail Winds ripping the Sails of Square Rigger "Aye- " She Hissed " And that Be Bloody Mary Bonney for Now on, Mates".

Tito and All- Especially Ms. Mary) RtR "For I have dipped My Hands in Muddy Waters, and Must a Pirate be- A short but Merry Life shall be My Motto!"- Bartholomew Roberts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloody_Mary_Bonney Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 oh i rule! i love this story but then again after reading that i had too much tiome to think as well..... (what comes after the alternate) Her eyes flashed at the word bloody. Then in a moment they became her own and she gazed upon the cutlass. "Tito....." she gasped and riped a bit of skirt to bandage his hand. "That thing... theres someting wrong with that thing...." She had once again droped the weapon to the sand. "Do you supose... It had to have been.... He's still here as long as that thing is here...." "Then lets be rid of it!" Deigo shouted reaching for it but before his hand could grasp it Mary dove. "Touch it and you'll be misses more than a finger" Her eyes the color of coins that had been layed to rest in davy jones locker. "Its mine... it came to me.... you have no rights to it!" (my precious lol). "Mary...." Rogue started but then stoped for Mar stood once again cutless in hand holding it out. "Mary.... Put it down .... dont do anything stupid..." Tito grimesed "Okay... anything else stupid" "You heard her little one" Diego said taking a step closer. "This isnt like you....." "The hell it isnt" Mary shouted in a deeper voice. "You think i'm bloody mary for no reason!" she laughed but it sounded as though it were crying. There was definatly something wrong. But why is the rum gone? Save a horse ride a cowboy! Take me away and take me farther, suround me now and hold me like holy My toes are getting pruney Also my head is round that window is square.... My name is Micheal J Kabous and i eat babies!

Rogue Mermaid Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Rogue gave a quick desprite glance to Diego and Tito then backed off into the brush along the beach. As she passed Merrydeath she whispered, "If she drops that sword be sure that no one else picks it up, I'm think'n it's cursed". Then she slipped into the cover of the woods, hoping that she could tackle her possesed friend from behind..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrydeath Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Merry looks at the new Bloody Mary, with the glint of greed and possessin in her eyes. A shiver runs down her back, as the voice goes from Mary to the Capt again.. Is there nothing we can do fer you, lass? Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.

I'm shakin in me boots I've got the tip o'her cutlass 'pon me own throat and I'm guessin it's mail call and no one wrote! Thinkin better of trying anything stupid I drops to ma knees and start praying like a cheap five dollar whore in mass. Mary I says, see yer ways to be free give me that sword afore ya hurt someone? So she cracked me o'er the top 'o me crown knockin me to the ground. I play done in. Listening to her as she keeps em back with what I hear appears the cutlass slicing wind!

Bloody_Mary_Bonney Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 "Deigo.... i have no time for this...." The new Mary turns and walks tword the beach the cutless clutched tightly.

Rogue Mermaid Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Seeing that Mary is distracted, Rogue bursts from the woods behind the lagoon at a sprint. She gets about five feet away and takes a flying jump at Mary's back..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Mermaid Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 "Sorry Lass", Rogue mutters as she barrels into Mary. Both young women hit the incoming surf with a violent splash. Unfortunatly the plan had not worked. Mary's hands never lost their vise like grip on the cutlass and her eyes flash with fury. With the new found strength of her possesion, Mary launches Rogue off of her and across the beach straight into Tito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merrydeath Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 While Mary is looking at the others, Merry has been quietly squating in the sand. She takes a handful and yells.. Look Mary! As she does, the sand from Merry's hand gets into her eyes, and momentarily she is blinded. It gives Doc some time to.. Pirate Lass with sass, brass, a cutlass, an a nice *ss.

Bloody_Mary_Bonney Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Mary never lets go of the cutless gripping tighter.
