It is, you see, a matter of that so called establishment of buisness that holds the remains of our departed brother. I did send my Steward to make request for his remains to which they replied that they did not exist within their posession...Upon the delivery of said tidings, I myself went to the establishment to which I was informed of the same...Pah!

The Doctor Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 :: comes wandering along the pier, looking a bit more confused than usual, stopping briefly to check the identity of each ship :: No... too small. No, too... French. No... :: spies the jack of the Watch Dog, and quickens his pace. Unfortunately, this makes him unsteadier :: Ah! There you are! :: at about 20 feet from the gangway, he spies a lovely lass with remarkable bodice spillage, and doffs his hat with a sweeping bow, continuing to the point he is now almost walking backwards:: Master Diego! My apologies for being tardy. Or completely absent, more to the point. You see, I was detain- :: trips over an ale cask and stumbles head first into a pier support, and is knocked out cold:: //Sorry for having gone missing. I've been without internet connectivity since the weekend!// Yo ho ho! Or does nobody actually say that?
Dorian Lasseter Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 :: the smile fades from his face as one of the crew comes swaying about on the pier, hails M.

CaptainSwan Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Jack?! ~swan runs up to where Jack passed out. She is soaking wet wearing black cotton breeches and a white blouse open at the neck. Her clothes are sticking to her and her hair is loose and hanging down her back. Thankfully she has a camisole underneath her shirt remaining for the most part decent. She kneels down to Jack and gently taps his face. She looks wide eyed up to Mr. Lasseter.~ Good morn' Sir. What happened to him? Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is; It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs. But what a ship is really is freedom.

CaptainSwan Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 ~chuckles and looks down at Jack~ Me, sir? I've been swimmin in the sea, sir. With such fine weather and leave I thought I'd take advantage of the situation and the tides. Beggin' you're pardon, Sir, I'll take him bellow to our quarters. We're both watch men, with your permission that is, Sir. Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is; It's not just a keel and hull and a deck and sails. That's what a ship needs.
