[ 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 ghost ~~who 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. ]
