William Brand Posted June 28, 2005 Author Share Posted June 28, 2005 Today's special is this... ...and it is free to any deckhand and able seaman that will help me upright the Kate today. Ever since she came into my possesion by accident or fate I have puzzled over the problem of her list. Ever since the Tsunami brought her hard fast upon this beachhead she has been lodged in the rocks and she sits uneven. Tis only a five degree list, it's true, but when the patrons start drinking and dancing they all tend to gravitate to larboard right along with the ship. This is what I propose. We run lines to the capstans and the date palms about the ship and we haul her til she's level. Any able arm will be appreciated and free drinks and fare for the duration!

I'd offer to help with the list, but I'd be as skilled as a dyslexic badger on crack. Not to helpful, I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt DaggezEber Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 *Daggaz wakes to the bustle of ropes and talk in the Kate. He stumbles slightly from the Tatoo party last night. With a stagger and a coff, he pulls out his long pipe and heads into the pub. Squwinty-eyed and groggy he mumbles Scottish sailer jibberish and attempts to light the 12" mirshum stuffed into his bearded mug. Time seems to slow as the stickmatch sparks into flame. Tartuga Wench turns, sees the sleepy captain and her eyes betray a sudden realization of inpending disaster. Her words are lost in time as she starts" DDDAAGGUZZ, NNOOOO!" To late, as like a 12 pounder, the pipe ignites and then exploads into a ball of Rum fueled fire! The flames cover the Captain as his eyes precieve the heat and fire. Time again returns to speed as the now flaming Daggaz Howls in shock and pain and runs from Kates toward the Worf. Reaching the end of the boards, he plunges into the cool salty depths of the sea. Life is only for the one that is not afraid to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Fitzgerald Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 **A pinnace sturdy Hands takes in her lone sail within hailing distance of the grounded Kate. Standing at her bow...** Ahoy, on deck!! I say ahoy, William! **Shades eyes from the water's reflective glare** I have brought what I had promised you. And there is not a manjack aboard that is not well worth his salt in ocurances and needs such as these! Tis a pity that Kate is not listing starboard, for it would be easier with the help of long boats pulling her to rights.... **Attention distracted by a howling figure running the legnth of the Docks** Interesting...**Through cupped hands** Ready when you are, William!! ...Or lay these bones in an unworthy urn, Tombless, with no rememberance over them: Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like a Turkish mute, shall have a toungueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph...

CaptainCiaran Posted June 28, 2005 Share Posted June 28, 2005 (With a bad back, Ciaran knows he will be of no good pulling on ropes, so runs to the docks and sails his beloved ship, The Cabin Buoy over to the Tsunami Kate.) Might I be of assistance from the water, William? I feel like a page from the children's book, Little Toot (the tugboat) right now! Yell if me ship and I can help ye! I wonder if one of the most important steps on our journey is the one in which we throw away the map. -- Loreena McKennitt My fathers knew of wind and tide, and my blood is maritime. -- Stan Rogers I don't pretend to be captain weird.

Nah, I put all back in disorder . . . But alas, I must head off to work again. Maybe I could get ye to get me some grub to go? I could actually murder a ceaser salad right now . . .
