Jacky Tar Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I pause with a bit of herring snorrebrod inches from my mouth, and look at Striker. "What did they say?" Jacky turns to Ransom, "Somethin' about health and wealth t' ye all!" He sees she is about to bite the Smorrebrod, "Did I mention lips that touch pickled herrin' shall never touch mine?"

Silkie McDonough Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 "Ye have got t' find yer self a girl mate. " As if on cue Silkie finds herself sitting to the coffee swilling rogue at the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 I pause with a bit of herring snorrebrod inches from my mouth, and look at Striker. "What did they say?" Jacky turns to Ransom, "Somethin' about health and wealth t' ye all!" He sees she is about to bite the Smorrebrod, "Did I mention lips that touch pickled herrin' shall never touch mine?" I give Jacky a grin, and put down the herring snack. "Is ham okay, or should I stick to shrimp?" Look over Jacky's shoulder at Striker. "Maybe you should offer Silkie some smorrebrod, she looks hungry." ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold... You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you.

"Striker if'n ye do offer her somethin' t' eat, offer it t' her wit' a fork. Ye don't want t' be losin' any fingers!'

Ransom Posted September 14, 2006 Share Posted September 14, 2006 Jacky turns to Ransom again, "I thought I had satisfied yer hunger... wit' the seafood?" Wicked grin.

Captain Striker Posted September 16, 2006 Share Posted September 16, 2006 Jacky turns to Ransom again, "I thought I had satisfied yer hunger... wit' the seafood?" Wicked grin. "What's for dessert?" "Some more herring ? " Says Striker ,still under the influence of the alcohol , holding a herring by it fin and looking at Ransom and then Silkie always surrounded by shadows , always in the shadow.

Ransom Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Not withstanding the fact that poor Striker is still a bit in his cups, I give a little snort. With a lip curled with distaste, I look at the offering. "Herring for dessert? I think not. What about you, Silkie? I then turn to Jacky. "I hope you can come up with something for dessert better than dead pickled fish." ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Tess St. Claire Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 Come Ransom...Captain Striker and the lot of you... Would you evening chance eating with me about? You know that some shell fish can be very deadly indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacky Tar Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 I then turn to Jacky. "I hope you can come up with something for dessert better than dead pickled fish." "Aye, I think we can do better than little fishies." Jacky returns to the galley with a large tin of fresh ground paprika, a rista of peppers and large sack of creole spices. The chef is all too glad to take the bounty off Jacky's hands. "E! my good man, the shrimp was well received..." Before Jacky can utter another word, the dessert chef rolls up a cart with tempting treats. Jacky nods his approval, and turns back to the dining area. Ransom and Jacky return to their table, where the table has been cleared, fresh flowers added and another bottle of champagne awaits them. Jacky pulls a chair out for Ransom, and takes one across from her. The dessert tray has Creme Brulee (Burnt Cream t' the English) served with fresh raspberries, and Peaches soaked in brandy, topped wit' creme fresh, and assorted small cakes. "Any thin' strike yer fancy, Ransom?" Pauses, "Should we invite Striker and Silkie t' sup? Or perhaps even Tess?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Sterling Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Captain Sterling pops back in to see what's up.... all the talk of food on top of a migraine forces him back outside to throw up. "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell... I was forced to write what I would say to prevent the loss of blood, and because of the pain I suffered by speaking."~ Woodes Rogers Crewe of the Archangel http://jcsterlingcptarchang.wix.com/creweofthearchangel# http://creweofthearchangel.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ransom Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 "Any thin' strike yer fancy, Ransom?" Pauses, "Should we invite Striker and Silkie t' sup? Or perhaps even Tess?" "Oh, there's plenty for everyone, surely? Well, except for Tess. I don't know if I'd trust her around food or not. And, whatever you do, if she offers you tea, DON'T DRINK IT! Looks toward the door as Captain Sterling sticks his head in, turns a bit green, and backs out. I tap Jacky on the arm. "Uh, Capt. Sterling doesn't look too good. Maybe we better check up on him. He's had it pretty rough lately, what with being shot and all." Eyes the creme brulee, which happens to be a favorite, with longing. "Or,....maybe we could send Striker. He looks like he could use some fresh air." ...schooners, islands, and maroons and buccaneers and buried gold...

Jacky also prepares a tonic with willow bark and herbs, to help the ailing Captain Sterling. "I drinks coffee, so I think it be safe t' offer Miss St. Claire a tea cake."

Ransom Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 "Bite? I never bite—unless provoked of course." "My, this is becoming quite the party." I signal to Ray.
