Do keep that area cleansed, if you will...But do take care in doing so. I shall inform Mister Lasseter of the labor restrictions I have deemed proper for your constitution. *She glances to her Steward who is removing the supplies used, then returns her attention to Jack* You are free to leave, sir. *As he gains his feet...* I might advise you...*Removing the spectacles and tucking them away*...

William Brand Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Master Lasseter. (tips hat) I am happy to report the that footings and supports for the fortifications are in place. I recommend that we place the cannons and test for range and elevation before the finishing touched are completed. I would like the Master Gunner to look over the fort and see if it lends itself well to the cannon and gunnery crew.
Tempest Fitzgerald Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 * Watching after Mad_Jack's departure from the Ward, she cannot help the expression of amusement that crosses over her face...* Sailors... *With a small shake of head, she leaves the Ward for her quarters to freshen up and change into fresh clothing of a cooler persuation. Returning to the Ward and sighting her Steward...* Armand, would you be so kind as to retrieve my basket and a bottle of Brandy? I think I shall go to shore and visit the Apothecary...mayhaps a stroll on the far shore for a closer inspection of some nesting activity I noticed a few days past...My straw hat also, this day's sun is a bit brilliant. C'est tout? Oui, mon ami...That is all. I shall await you on deck. Merci. *Gaining the upper deck, she pauses to let her eyes adjust to the unacustomed brightness then glances the surround. Seeing Mister Wake and Mister Lasseter she approaches where they stand* Gentlemen, it seems a grand day in the making and a productive day, as well. The Ward is clear for the time being and I shall be going ashore for a small space of time. If I am not in need, I shall be departing directly though if something should arise of urgent nature, Armand knows my where abouts. Mister Lasseter...I shall request that my recent guest is not to be put to labor until further notice, if you please.... ...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...

William Brand Posted July 12, 2005 Posted July 12, 2005 Aye. Rummy is not to be found aboard ship, Master Lasseter. She is off on expedition with Master Diego at this time. Still, if it pleases you, I can round up enough caulkers to stem the seams until the master carpentry can be done upon her return.
