[ So you're on a boat, you're on a boat
Take a good hard look
At the bloody awesome pirate boat. As it seems to be Kanye-shrugging on its way into the beautiful horizon.
The camera rooooooolls on board, hits someone's spare glass eye, stumbles across a treasure box holding only two gold pieces and a hastily scribbled "I BE OWIN YE message tucked in, and finally focuses on First Mate Thor the... Terrible? fussing on deck, because - ]
Captain on booooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaard.
[ The camera takes a brief dip in a rum bucket, but floats right back up to show... a hatted bear sniffing the deck, turning to stare deeply and meaningfully in the horizon, then promptly heading for the cabin for its 3927204789th nap.
There is silence. Some awkward clapping. Polite coughing. Then, Thor is done translating instructions:]
Aye! T' Cap'n be saying: sharpen'em knives, kiss t'Luck Token, and be bleedin' them scallywags who hoist their Crown colours. Girl! Get the lass with the hair, there be treasure in the... sea... somewhere, t' Cap'n gone smelled it. Ready t'mermaid, and -
[ ...oh snap, is that an upcoming whale in the distance.
Oh. Oh, no, no. Thank God. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a kraken. But don't you worry: it just wants to make friends. ]
- ...don't be hitting t' kraken.
[ ooc: OKAY, SO. Absolutely anyone is welcome to crash on the Hringhorni at any point, idc how characters get here: they were here all along, they float in on a raft previously stuck in the middle of the ocean, they were drunk and stuck in a mackerel barrel with the rest of supplies, a giant eagle drops them on deck, they burst free from the insides of a captured shark - idk and idc, just jump right in, it's an anyone threadjack everyone kind of thing. ]
[ current crew: the Captain (a bear), the first mate (a Thor), the Mistress of Arms (Lara Croft), a Kraken Hunter (Hei), an all-respected Good Luck Charm (Captain America), a treasure-retriever/cook (Rapunzel), 'the Lady' - a ghostwho is actually a stowaway, another stowaway (Serrure), pirate liaison who will likely sell them in (Loki), a makeshift mermaid (Sif), a plethora of NPCs and you. ]

Can this be what Captain!Bear was secretly glancing at all along? Can it but be? It is. Surely.
The bear's kokoro thuds in magnificent recognition -- ]
i am not sorry. also, keywords.
As the ship throws down a ladder, one of the kraken's PG oriented tentacles circles Flagg's orca, undulating enticingly, because hey, baby, hey, what do you say to leaving those filthy pirates along and going for a hot night of cephalopod lovin' instead?
Yeah, gorgeous, yeah. Look at those rings pulse. ]

So he keeps going. Boarding the ship and while they're all busy with the treasure he's sneaking down beneath the bow of the ship, his hook glinting in the dim light. ]
..... : )
But don't anyone worry, the Hringhorni is a lovely, welcoming ship, so the committee makes a quick arrival.
Five exceptionally well-fed, lazy seagulls accost their guest, taking a seat on whichever part of Sgt. Barnest they can.
A sixth plops down on the hook.
You know.
Just chilling. ]

Also, the captain seems very much drawn to her hands, which suggests either that Rapunzel has once again busied herself with the crew's dinner desserts, or - Thor is far more inclined to think - the Captain is amorous. ]
Be... be we talkin' your future one day, lass. T'Cap'n will make a decent lass of you, don't be fearing.

He goes ship to ship, providing medical attention when need be. He works for food, for adventure. And when he feels like it, he volunteers to be a really bad guy. Also, does anybody else notice the captain of this ship is a bear? A freaking bear? Is he taking crazy pills?
Right now, he's on deck, sitting on a crate. But, he stands. Someone has to call this guy out. ]
And, how is it you understand him? Are you not just expressing what it is, you want? [ And then he sees it. The Kraken. He's transfixed. Never mind his point. Also, it's possible - magic and krakens. Why can't Thor understand a BEAR? ]

But they partake of Young Scott's qualms, for all that Davis has a sneaking suspicion Young Scott's background entitles him to an upcoming, sassy tenure as a pirate flick main character, and so all mates have a sworn duty to oppress him periodically, thus justifying his inevitable Turn to the Light Side.
Alas, the day of that particular reckoning is not yet here, and as Thor turns to search his mortal enemy, the man with actual common sense, Farraday and Davis take a moment to pat Scott's back and reassure him - ]
Yoooouuuu... gessssssss....g-ge.... getttt..... hmmmmm....
[ Thor, meanwhile is unimpressed.
Then again, a man who regularly interprets for an ursine is hard to rouse to enthusiasm. ]

[ The whole ship smells of bilge and rotting wood; everything is poorly lit and dank, the deck is rolling and pitching; everyone is falling against everything like goddamn bowling pins. Something pings off his cheek, and when he touches it, his hand comes away slimy. Ew. Kraken spit-up. The offending monster has submerged back into the ocean. There's almost nothing visible now except black roiling tentacles across the surface of the water. ]
[ Retching, 'Li' clings to the crow's nest, his stomach seeming to want to switch places with his brain. ]
