Tales from the High Seas

[Darkpoet]

This thread is for story telling, stories from the High Seas. Tell your story of Pirates, shipwrecks, and booty.

[Waverly]

Argh! Have I told ye of time that Rear Admiral Grunty made 30 men walk the 'plank'? Aye, a real tirant he was. And he had first officer Lainy swabbing his poop deck day and night. But that is not the end of his tale... he met his match one dark summer eve, when Viv the Red rammed him from astern and sent all the seamen down the drink.

OK that's my revenge.

[Minerva]

Minerva stands top of the hill, looking down her beloved Med. The sea is blue, as it always is, and she loves the sound of waves washing shores.

Today, however, Minerva is not just standing there, enjoying her quiet afternoon. She must find the lost treasure.... The most precious treature she ever had. It was lost in the sea while she was travelling through stormy weather a few days ago. She did not mind losing some of her tunics and helms, though they were made of the best materials anyone can get. But she cannot accept the loss of the small treasure she had... It belongs to her heart...

OOC: 'VIV the RED?' Lol Waverly

IC:
'Viv the red' strode upon her ships deck, red tunic and skirt standing brightly against her maroon cloak blowing in the breeze behind her.

Her crew, all women above the age of 18, in uniform white tunics with 'V's' emroided on each shoulder, busily scampered about 'manning' the ship.

"Keep a sharp lookout for any lying, egotistical, backstabbing, eyes-wandering pigs. Otherwise we head straight for our tropical island!" She encouraged her crew before going to again stand at the helm.

[Darkpoet]

Darkpoet stands on the quarterdeck, leaning on a cannon. Watching the water, as the waves went by. Knowing that the ship was out there.
A voice shatters his thoughts; " Get below, you scurvy bilge rat."
A crew member of Viv the Red, pushes Darkpoet back into the hold of the ship and chains him to the floor.

I have a tale of adventure...romance and death on the high seas...


1501...Somewhere in Europe...

6:00 A.M."I arise with the sun and make my plans. I have my ship The Love Boat VII all stocked with food and drinks and await the high tide to set sail."

9:00 A.M." I have found my crew, as usual they were in the bar...drunk again."

11:00A.M." I have finally dragged them all to the Love Boat VII and we are leaving port. I can see this trip is going to be the best so far. I have word that a ship loaded with gold is coming up the coast and I believe we will request so of the gold from them for 'safe passage' Heheheheh"


1:00P.M."Foul and his secret lover have been down below deck for a while and I have began to worry. I send Three Leg Pete down below to see what has happened."


1:23P.M. "Three Leg Pete has ran back telling me strange tales and I know I have to go and see for my self."

As long as I am not a pig, I am not in any danger, right? Why does your crew wear white? A bit of sea spray and it's going to be a floating wet t-shirt contest Which reminds me, need a weapons officer?

@Weasel: three legged pete. LMAO

1:23 pm and thirty seconds:
Weasel races down to see if the story is true and a beautiful site meets his eyes! Foul & T'Lainya The Bloody are in a fierce embrace, hanging from the ceiling by a noose around Foul's left ankle, spinning slowly, T'lainya wearing only a hankerchief around her head as stabs Foul in the side with her dirk repeatedly as she moans "I never thought it could be this strange" again and again.

From the liquor chest, three puffins gaze, tapping their beaks in time with T's bloodletting, and a strange pirate-reggae beat emenates from the crude mechanical brass sock monkey that sits under the loving couple, gazing upwards.

[Waverly]

@Weasel: if Foul is really on board, I suggest you scuttle the ship with him below deck and cut your losses

[T'lainya]

Foul Don't you EVER lock the blasted door?!?

Then she beats him with a broom handle.

[Vivien]

Waverly: They wear white as they're innocent And, plus, the little sailor outfits double as swimsuits, so it all works out, we ARE looking for a tropical island afterall.

Yep, we may need a weapons officer, but try not to ...'bother' the poor girls too much. (they are quite good at self defense just to warn you.)

I'm also going to have to go soon, so I'll need you to protect myself and my girls, I'm hoping you'll do the right thing

IC:
Viv turns to the girl nearest her.

"Bring my weapons officer to me, we need to make sure all is in order."

The girl bounces off, and brings back Waverly.

"He was trying to 'fix' the shower again right before we were to be showering, I've brought his camera's with , I tried to explain that they won't help the shower at all." The girl said handing the camera's back to Waverly with a smile before trotting back to her position.

Viv turns to Waverly. "Our ship is able to defend itself due to your expertise? I wouldn't want your position on this ship to be...transitory."

As she walks with Waverly she turns to another girl:
"How is our prisoner doing? And have we discovered if he is a spy? Remember to use the feather duster and the rubber chicken if nothing else works."

OOC: (I have to go for an hour)

@Viv: Innocent? I like that This reminds me of Castle Anthrax in Monty Python's The Holy Grail When do I hand out spankings?

[Minerva]
