Happy Anniversary TDL Pirates!!!

*crashes through the door* I'M HERE! I'M HERE! :D

*party is over*

...*sigh*

Well, it was a pretty epic party, form what I read. We should continue it into tomorrrow. :) I miss you all!!!

"Arrr, have a mug O' Cider and enjoye yerself me heart!!!" Twilight handed IOWW an overflowing mug and gave her a huge hug. "Ye can help me pick on... I mean CONGRATULATE these poor love sick mateys of ours... I hear that perhaps ye might even have a song fer them when the blessed day of the weddin' rolls around... "

ooc: :D Love struck.
 
ooc: Haha, just as a note, this year is actually the 4th anniversary of the Pirates and not the third!! Haha, my mistake. :D

ic: Machia took a look around the deck. Half asleep pirates lay all over it, some of them singing vaguely in their sleep. The First Mate gave a mischievous crooked grin. He took a deep breath:

"ARRRRRRR!!! ON YER FEET YE LAZY NO GOOD SONS OF LAZY SEA DOGS!!! THE SUN BE ALREADY UP AND I BETTER SEE ALL OF YER SORRY SEA RAT HIDES UP AN AT 'EM BEFORE I TAKE ANOTHER BREATH OR SO HELP ME YE'LL ALL BE TAKIN' A SHORT WALK DOWN A LONG PLANK!!"

Machia's Disembodied Voice boomed all over the ship. from the first "ARRRR" every pirate was up, on their feet and as wide awake as if they'd been up all afternoon. Machia smiled as they all scrambled up the riggings and got to work. The First Mate had a harsh sound to his voice, but deep down he didn't mean any of it and would sooner walk down a plank himself before making any of his crew do it just for sleeping in.

The sails billowed out in the wind as Machia moounted the stairs towards the helm. This day had all the makings of a new adventure!
 
Fish had been up in Tweetsie's nest (ooc- bring back old memories, anyone? ;)) since before sunrise. She had been far too excited to sleep that night, and had instead kept vigil with Twilight. She was now watching the pirates scurry around, being woken out of their sound sleep by the First Mate's usual hollering. Two of the pirates had slammed into each other in the flurry, and were now debating whose fault it was...with their fists...

"All right, ye scurvy dogs," IOWW growled, teleporting in the middle of the dispute. She brandished her cutlass. "Last one o' ye to get the mop and bucket gits a taste of me blade." The two pirates quickly agreed to disagree with each other, and raced toward the cleaning supplies instead, leaving IOWW chuckling, and Fish shaking her head in amusement.

The carpenter skillfully climbed down the rigging and walked over to where Machia, Twilight, and QA48 were talking. The navigator noticed the group and joined them as well.

"So, mateys, what be the plan o' action this time?" Twilight asked.
"Arr... Well, last year we invaded the 'Dancing Lawn Forums'..." Fish said. "We could be doin' that again..."

"Arrr, I do remember that bein part of the festivities now that ye mention it," said Twilight, blowing on her favorite pistol and rubbing it until it shone. "Is it possible we're still holdin' Will Moseley captive in the ship somewhere...?"

"Nay, he escaped when we took that turn past Narnia methinks," speculated Capn' QA48.

"Arr, I remember that," agreed IOWW. "Well, it was gettin' a bit tiresome to hold off his army of fans anyhow."

"Can we invade some of the threads what be usin' me name in vain and make off with their hero?" asked Twilight eagerly. "I be thinkin' one of them be named Edward..."
 
"Arr, iffin we be goin' after those people... can I come?" Meerkitten grinned.

"Aye, aye, climb aboard ye musical kitten, we'll show 'em what we do to them what takes the name of The Twilight Terror all too lightly! While were at it we can capture his useless wench as well. Arr..."

ooc: No offense Twilight fans, but Twilight is not a pirate thing... :D
 
The Pirates are back!!!

Avast!! (how was that?)

IC: The kingdomless BarbarianKing waited for the opportune moment to make his entrance, but after thinking it over, he didn't want anyone to laugh at him, so he just disguised himself with a plastic peg leg from Party City stores, and they eye patch that Snake wore in Escape from New York, picked up a bottle of grog and approached The Black Spot. He definitely wanted to come aboard.

"Arrrr... OY!" Came a voice from over the side of the ship, "'Oo be you? Gar, an' what be yer doin' swimmin' in the freezin' water? Arrr, yer welcome aboard, so long as ye keep yer 'ands where I can see 'em. I only be worryin' 'bout ye pullin' a knife on someone. I'm not worried 'bout ye carryin' any firearms, 'cause the Twilight Terror can smell any gunpowder from at least a mile off..." The First mate gave a laugh and threw a rope down to the Barbarian.

"Arrr, welcom aboard matey" Machia said touching his hat, "Rules number aboard this ship: Don't touch me apples, don't touch the Cap'n's grog, don't touch Fish's hammer, don't touch IOWW's navigation maps or the helm without her "say so", an' don't ever, ever, ever, touch or fire any cannons without Twilight lettin' ye!" He paused. "Actually it would be best never ter mess with Twight at all, come ter think o' it."

He paused. "Actually it would be best never ter mess with Twight at all, come ter think o' it."

"Ye got that right!" Chimed in Twilight's voice from over by her bevy of cannons.
 
(ooc- I definitely posted a piratey version of IOWW performing lovestruck, and for whatever reason it didn't post. So, I'll include it here. :D)

IOWW cleared her throat, "Fish, Machia, in celebration of yer engagement, I wrote a song fer the two of ye. I wrote it a while ago, cause I 'ad a feelin' the two of ye fancied eachother..." IOWW clapped her hands and a few deckhands wheeled out a piano.

(ooc- like I said, I tweaked a few of the words to make it more...piratey. ;))

IOWW sat on the piano bench and began to play.

47 and 35
Don't know what it means, but that's alright
We've got a first mate and a carpenter, too
Don't know their story? Well, I'll tell it to you.

Narnia is where it all began,
following Aslans great holy plan
From that day on their friendship bloomed
and soon they're gonna be the Bride and Groom.

Who says that pennies
that face tails up are bad luck?
Together they pray, thank Aslan for this great day,
you know these two are lovestruck
they're lovestruck

In 2006 began this tale
'tis when all of us pirates set sail,
and though Machia would take a little longer
their relationship would only grow stronger

A rescue from the land of Tash
made him realize his love for Fish
Every where on land or sea
Aslan knew these two were meant to be.

Who says that pennies
that face tails up are bad luck?
Saruman failed, the emperor was impaled,
Still these two are lovestruck
they're lovestruck.
The sails are lookin' nice today...
Get the first mate his apples, or it's the plank with yeh...
I think we lost track of that monkey Jack...again...

It's okay to say that all along, I knew this day would come...because I have you in my heart.

*end song*

(ooc- this morning's version was definitely better, btu I can't remember all the words I replace. :/ For all of you who've never seen the actual song, you can find it here.)

He paused. "Actually it would be best never ter mess with Twight at all, come ter think o' it."

"Okey dok.... I mean ARGH! Aye Cap'n! I hope I'm not allowed to touch the big brush used to clean the bilge also!! Argh!"

Being new to piracy, the Barbarian didn't know the "talk" and only repeated what he had learned the few seconds he was conscious when he accidentally stumbled into this pirate's hang out, The Salty Spitoon.

"Arrr, Nay not yet, Matey... But I be pleased an' proud ter inform ye ye that have jus' been granted th' task o' a lifetime! t'will make ye the envy o' all the other pirates let me be tellin' ye!" Machia reached behind his back and brought out with a flourish.... the mop and bucket. "Gar, Barbarian yer task is ter make this deck so clean, I can see me face shinin' in it! Arrrr, after yer done with that we'll be lettin' ye get on to some more... interestin' tasks. Savvy?"

The First Mate turned to leave, "Oh, an' by the way matey." He said turning back to the Barbarian, "None o' us be the Cap'n. Twilight, Fish, IOWW an' I be part o' the Fearless Five, which be the chain o' command aboard the Black Spot. IOWW be the navigator an' Truancy Officer an' thus Fifth in command. Then Twilight who be the Master Gunner an' Lieutenant, comin' in fouth in command. Fish be Carpenter, Ship's advisor an' Third in command. Then thar be me and I am of course, First Mate an' second in command. And our fearless Cap'n be QA48/Aravis! We all make up the FF, an' we be in charge o' all ye lazy sea dogs. Actually, I be in charge now, because the Cap'n be a bit indisposed at the moment.

Now... Back ter ye mop an' bucket. I gotta go see the Cap'n in her cabin." The First Mate made his way across the deck towards the stern of the ship where the Captain's cabin was. He stopped first into the Medical Cabin and picked up the satchel of medicine. He hoped that there'd be some change in the Captain's condition.

The First Mate entered the cabin and saw that it was pretty much exactly how he'd left it a few hours ago. Aravis lay in her bed, looking deathly pale and her breathing was loud and hoarse. Machia went up to the Cap'n and felt her forehead. It was wet with a cold sweat, but also felt like she was burning. He checked her pulse, which hadn't changed. Machia sighed and reached into the medicine bag. He measured out some foul smelling liquid into a tumbler sitting on the bedside table. Then tipping Aravis's head back he poured some of the medicine down her throat. She coughed, sputtered and moaned but that was all. Machia shook his head, and poured more liquid down her throat. After doing this three times and each time having Aravis awaken for a moment to cough and groan and then fall back into bed again, the First Mate put the bottle back in the bag and left the cabin.

He walked the short distance to the medical cabin and entered. Shutting the door behind him he hung the sack on a hook by the door. He went over to the medicine chest on the opposite side of the room and began to rummage through it for more of the Captain's medicine. As he was going through the chest his mind kept going over all that he had been doing lately. First the Captain had taken ill and after a couple days Machia had been obliged to take over her duties until she was fully restored to health. But ever since their long time medic Elashia had left them, Machia had taken over some of the medic duties as well. For a while a girl named Fyn had been a temporary medic but she had left the life of piracy a short while ago leaving Machia back in charge of all the medic duties, his own First Mate duties and now he was covering for the Captain too. Machia sighed. What the pirates really needed now was a new medic.

ooc: Our Captain QA48 hasn't been able to get online recently. So until she returns her character is sick in bed. :D
 
Fish met Machia come out as he came out of the Captain's cabin.

"Arr... How be she?" Fish asked her fiance.
Machia shook his head. "Still the same. Arr... Elashia left a medicine fer the basic illnesses, which is what I be givin' the Cap'n, but if she's managed to catch somethin' a bit more dangerous, we may need to git her somethin' a bit more strong."

"Well, I'll go make her some broth. She's not goin' to git any better without somethin' in her stomach."

Fish went down to the galley to start on the pirates' dinner. She found Dead Tom down there already starting on it.

"Arr... I heard 'bout the Cap'n. Though the whole ship could be usin' some chicken noodle soup." He said with a smile.

"Thankee, matey," Fish said. "D'ye be wantin' help?"

Tom shook his head, so Fish made her way back on deck to see what was happening there.

Aye Aye! Second-In-Command...er! You'll see yer face alright! (The Barbarian said this under his breath of course)!

The Barbarian handed the second-in-commander the last of the grog he was able to smuggle out of the Salty Spittoon.

"Will this get me off mop and bucket duty for at least a week Mister Second-in-Commander?"
 
Turncoat mermaid grabbed onto a few barnacles on the side of the ship and hauled herself up. She hadn't seen her fellow pirates in forever and thought it was about time to pay them a visit.
 
Arr... This be a helpful site fer new pirates looking to write better Pirate Talk
As Machia made his way along the deck he turned when he heard a call from below decks.

"Ahoy there first matey, I be havin' a bone to pick with ye!" Twilight ascended from below, brushing excess powder off her piratey clothes and scowling a little.

"Arrr, what be it Twilight?" asked Machia, munching on one of his many apples in a distracted manner.

"Now ye know that I be the New Recruit Trainer and Master Gunner on this ship. So what be ye doin' tellin' that royal Barbarian what to do? No offense, yer the first matey, but I be likin me job. Hows about ye refer them to me after ye gives them a job, so's I can get them started with the really hard stuff, savvy?"

Patting the First mate on the shoulder Twilight turned to Barbarian King and smiled a rather evil smile. "Arrr, once ye finish that up matey I have some work for ye in the powder room. And if yer wonderin' how the deck got so dirty, it'll give ye a little hint, har, har, har.."

ooc: I found my First post on the original pirates thread! http://www.narniafans.com/forum/showpost.php?p=222624&postcount=18 And my first long descriptive post where I established Twilight's bandanna and long braided hair: http://www.narniafans.com/forum/showpost.php?p=230883&postcount=154

"Arr, ahoy there mermaid, it's been forever since ye brought yer fishy self aboard. How's do things be under the sea?" :p

"Things be slow in the sea" sighed Turncoat. "But that be why I'm comin' up above the water. I know me good friend pirates are always up for a good day of fun" She perked up at the thought.

"True, true. I be sorry about the smell aboard ship. We be havin' a little celebration and ye can't keep the new recruits away from the grog." Twilight shook her head as she noticed how Turncoat's nose wrinkled as she sniffed the air. Mermaids were very sensitive to the smell of grog. "Don't drink it meself, but we let the new mateys have a bit O' lee way. If ye want to ye can blame Prince O' the West, he be the one what brought the cider aboard. So, no sea monster sightin's, eh? What about seals then? I'd love to talk to a talkin' seal, I always liked to watch 'em when I was in that... other place..." Muttered Twilight, musing over her mostly buried memories of the time before Narnia. "So, ye got any seal friends?"

"Arr, that other place be much less appealin' than Narnia..." IOWW appeared from below deck after overhearin' Twilight's discussion," what is this talk about seals? Cute little fellers, they are. Unless you're a fish, that is."

ooc- lol, my first post! I was such a nerd. :D

Remember that time I died? haha, man that feels like ages ago!! I think I still have posts saved from that...*searches*
