LongTom Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 An eerie fog drifts into the pub, pushed in by a cold damp breeze. The door swings open and a tall dark female form shrouded in fog enters the pub, she is followed by four enormous, hulking, ugly, hairy, battle-scarred, drunken creatures. "Ello my name is Elvira Montoya, I aim looking for Inigo Montoya he owes mi alimonies an cheeldrens support." Elvira steps into the dimly lit pub, she is beautiful and terrifying to behold. Her black dress shows off her pale ample abundance. The dress is slit above the knee and reveals her shapely legs. Her eyes are the color of a stormy sky, and her lips are blood red. Black hair cascades about her shoulders, and behind her looms the four horsemen of the apocalypse. What is this? Everyone knows that pirates and monsters don't mix!

Elvira Montoya Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Turns flashing blue eyes on Rosie. "And as for FLAT, well my dear, I can't suppose, after all those little Montoya's you're so proud of, you're quite as "pert" as you used to be, eh?" Gives a sly wink. "Better to be flat, than falling!" "Ransom, jou were in Pilates class, no? I had mi first Montoya bebe when mi es jus fifteen. Mi still es under thirty; so, gracias a Dios, nada es fallen yet!" Elvira catches a whiff of cigarillos and spanish cologne, and knows she has come to the right place. She spies a familiar figure, that she did not expect to see. It is her former servant little Rosie. "Rosie, santita! Jou are employed here? Go fetchee mi an de cheeldrens somting to drink, por favor."

Rosarita Montoya Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 "Rosie, santita! Jou are employed here? Go fetchee mi an de cheeldrens somting to drink, por favor." Rosie bristles and turns to see her former mistress and the brute squad. She doesn't look as surprised to see Elvira, as Elvira is to see her. "No Señora, I aim not empleared here.

Elvira Montoya Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Elvira and two of the four hulks leave the pub to find an unsuspecting Inigo. The other two remain to stand watch over the badly beaten Rosie. Their madre has given them orders to prevent anyone from freeing Rosie. "Dese are pirates, no heroes here!", chuckles hulk one. "Jou mean pie-rats", chortles hulk two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Tar Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Their madre has given them orders to prevent anyone from freeing Rosie. Jacky and Pepe are outside the pub, and peeking in through a window. Jacky is furious by what he sees. He knows that if they are to have any chance rescuing Rosie, they must do it before Elvira and the others return. "Pepe, the one near t' the bar looks like she could be yer child!" "Dat es Izzie, an she could be mio." Jacky looks quizzically at Pepe. "Boss, de ex Señora Montoya, hab apetitos. One day she try a leetle Pepe, nueve months later, ello Isadora!" "Pepe, look Rosie's captors arr gettin' sleepy!" The two sneek in through the back door of the pub. The Montoya children, are snoring. Jacky unties the almost unconsious Rosie, and carries her from the Pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigo Montoya Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Montoya strides back into the pub, an imperious scowl knitting his heavy brow. "So, Juance again, I comb here to face down jou boatload of creeminals. Jou, Capitan Silver Bouillion, jou not fool me for an eenstant! Jou corrupted my Rosie, deedn't jou? And jou, Capitan Siren, eef jou not a creeminal, why jou spend so moch time in de company of creeminals? Whad' a nice girl like jou doeeng in a place like dees, hah? And all de rest of jou -- oh, hi Lampy! -- jou all guilty by association! Jou, Long Tom, jou -- naiver mind. Anyboady see jou jus heeting on Siren. Jou gets a pass dis time." "And as for jou, Rosie--" he turns his gaze to where Rosarita should have been -- and halts, surprise springing onto his features. "...Flatty? Hank?" He shakes his head, wondering. "Whad' dey be doing here?" He turns to Sterling and whispers, "Dey be de Four Hoarse Men of de Alpaca Lips! Dey be called Bickering, Flatulence, Bulimia, and Ennui. De las' one, de name be French, an' hard to pronounce, so hees friends jus' call heem "Hank." "If dey here, dat only mean Juan t'ing... Elvira!" His face spasms with pain. "My heart ees on fire! Elvira! ...escuse me jus' a moment." He reaches into his doublet, pops a small tablet into his mouth, chews, and sighs. "Sorry. Ees jus' de heartburn." Shaking his head and shuddering, "She geev me ulcer. Good t'ing she not here, I probably barf on her shoes." He returns his attention to the slumbering pair. "Eef dere is Juan t'ing dese two really good at, eet's being violent. But eet gon' bite dem Juan day. Watch dees." Montoya produces a noose, which he has cleverly borrowed from Colonel Walker. He flings one end over a rafter. Careful not to disturb their snoring, he slips the noose over Flatty's neck, and places the other end in Hank's hand. Placing himself out of the sightlines of both, he gives a hearty pull on Hank's half of the rope, jerking Flatty's head into the air. As Flatty bellows to sudden wakefulness, Inigo fades to a darkened corner of the Pub to enjoy the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Perhaps Inigo knits!') attempting to hang her. Izzie swings to a table top to loosen the noose, before her brother's joke kills her! Removing the noose from her own neck, and placing it around the neck of the unsuspecting Hank; she then takes the end of the rope from his hand and yanks Hank into the air. Hank, who is not as good natured as Izzie, pulls a dagger from his belt and throws it at Izzie, before he realizes it is her. Izzie lets go of the rope to avoid the incoming dagger, which flies past her and into a darkened corner of the Pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky Tar enters the bar and sees Inigo has a booth in the back of the pub. "Ray when did ye add booths? Can I get booth, too!" Ray motions to Jacky, and taps on a brass plate on the edge of the bar. The plate reads, 'Reserved for Jacky Tar'. Jacky smiles and takes his place at the bar. Ray nods to Jacky and goes back to wiping glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
