[ 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. ]

[She laughs, grinning.]

Ye talk funny.

[ladycroft]

Aye, that I do. Still ye know what I mean?

[Damn pirate-speak.]

I'm from... Brasil. They do things differently down there.

[tangledintower]

Aye, I can understand ye.

[Ooooh, Brazil...! How...foreign!]

What's Brazil like?

[ladycroft]

[It was the first country that came to mind, oddly enough.]

Well, it's very hot and they talk oddly. Obviously.

[tangledintower]

Aye, I gathered that bit...what about the people, though? The cities?

[ladycroft]

[Not that it likely matters, but it's just as well she has been to Brasil.]

The pace is more relaxed there, the people are friendly and the food is quite tasty. The cities are very busy.

[tangledintower]

[She sighs, smiling. Oh, that sounds nice...]

I'd like to see it someday...

[ladycroft]

There's no reason why you can't, is there? Maybe the Captain will even take us to Brasil.

[tangledintower]

Oh, that'd be wonderful! Seeing new places, meeting new people...

[ladycroft]

[If only wishing could make it so, then they'd all be able to go home.]

Have you travelled much?

[tangledintower]

Nay...it's why I became a pirate! I wanted to see the world, and not just from my window!

[ladycroft]

You could have chosen to travel on the land instead of the sea.

[tangledintower]

Aye...but it's harder to catch somebody by sea.

[ladycroft]

[Well, that was true.]

I see your point. It's a good thing you -- ye... don't get seasick.

[tangledintower]

Aye...that'd make the life out here all the worse...

[ladycroft]

You seem to handle things very well.

[tangledintower]

Aye, I do. I'm lucky, I spose!

[ladycroft]

You're an important part of the crew.

[tangledintower]

So are you. We all have a part to play.

[ladycroft]

That is very true. I doubt there's a more optimistic crew on the Seven Seas.

[tangledintower]

It's part of our charm, and our success, I'd say!

[ladycroft]

Doubtless. Do you need anything, dear?

[tangledintower]

Nah. I think I be good over on this end of things.

[ladycroft]

That's... That be wonderful! If ye need anythin', don't hesitate to give me a shout.

[tangledintower]

Aye, I will!!
