"A whole bloody month over the water temple!" A drenched pirate pulled herself over the ledge of the ship. "Never again will I go down into the bloody lake! Never again I say!"
It was just by a lucky shot that Dragon even was able to find the White Weewoo. It's known for not being found if you have a tooth to pick with it... if that's even how the saying goes.
"-I mean did the blob thing really have to fling you around-"
The pirate wench was obviously not happy. She had spent a month underwater figuring out how to save the water temple from an evil spirit.
"-And next time I see Leah I'm going to-"
By this time she had made it downstairs and grabbed a bottle of rum from the cupboard.
"-'Easy' she said. Hah!-"
Now she had also began to stuff marshmallows and jelly beans, her favorite non-healthy food, down her mouth.
"-And all the seaweed. It's going to take me hours to get it out-"
And by this time she was out of everyone's view leaving a trail of seaweed behind.

((I don't think any of us is a good pirate x3 Unless we decide to become Greenpeace activists and start attacking whaling ships. Personally, I'd be in xD On a side note, if any of you have been wondering what the Weewoo looks like then here's my vision. Complete with a crooked bowsprit >> Cap'n, take a better care of yer ship...!)) ((I don't think I'd mind that, either. XD Save the whales! Steal from whalers! ^^ Nice job with the pic, I like it. jXD The boat's pretty, Sev's just perfect, and all of us look great. *gives you a cookie*))

((Wow. I disappear from the RP for a month and a half, only to discover you guys have just now left port?? XDDDDDDDDDD I guess at this rate, we'll make our next big pillage in 2008. *grin* ))
Komori finally opened one groggy eye and looked about her. The rocking of the ship had awoken her from her long and restless sleep. She hadn't been feeling well since drinking that Meepit grog, and after a few drinks at the tavern she had managed to somehow stumble back onto the Weewoo.
"That'll teach ye ta' go puttin things in yer mouth ye have no business drinkin'..." she muttered to herself, stumbling out from behind some barrels and rope. Her back was aching and her head spinning, and she could swear there were a bunch more people than she could recognize.

((Which is why you shouldn't rely on your crewmates too much. This RP is forgotten by most of us from time to time. Also, Hunty managed to steal some wireless internet. Whoo! I still don't have net connection at the dorm. Boo. The WiFi works from time to time and sometimes absolutely not. Might get lost as I type this (and it did, good thing I copy and paste). But I'll be home on Thursday. Fridays are free ^^))
"Lookie, the Korbat chick seems to have had what we had last night," Bloody Mary remarked to the gang in general.
Bob squinted. "Dunno, I remember her drinking beer."
"You actually remember something?" Joe asked with a frown. He shared Huntress's view on life that stated that staying sober and watching drunk people is more fun than getting drunk and feeling like your brain has thrown up on your eyeballs a few hours later. But in the meepit's case drunk people - okay, fellow meepits - were more annoying as he had to cook up the cure.
"Shaddup," Bob suggested with a snarl.
Justice looked up from her book. "Oh, be quiet, both of you. Boys... besides, we might wanna keep in shape from now on. We have many newcomers. How do we know if they can all be trusted?"
"Because they can abuse the trust only once," Bloody Mary stated with a grim grin.

Pam had automatically gravitated towards the helm when the ship set sail. She was used to giving orders - at least in as far as which direction the ship should be going - and she wasn't entirely comfortable feeling like she may not be needed...she knew what she'd done with people she didn't need in the past... ((Bleh... too short... can't thing of anything to write... I'll try and be more creative tomorrow ))

After she had explained to Servy why he was still alive, Ikkin had begun wandering towards Huntress and her band of Meepits. She reached them in time to hear Bloody Mary's last words- "they can only abuse the trust once." Ikkin shivered at the look on the Meepit's face; not because she was planning any treachery, buy because she had the impression that the Meepit would be all too happy to give out that kind of punishment. "What do Meepits do with traitors?" she asked, morbidly curious despite herself. No one liked a traitor- even in the more civilized Neopian countries, such an act could be punishable by death- so she had to wonder what kind of tortures the Meepits could devise. ((So hard to get anything started right now... ))

Keng unhappily set to work at cleaning the bloody mess on the deck. What had she done to deserve this? She had already tried mopping but the blood had soaked in unaturally fast and she was now on her hands and knees scrubbing so hard she swore the brush was going to wear out and her fingers would start scraping along the deck with each drawn out stroke.
As she continued the dull work her thoughts trailed back to the mystery of who this serv person was and when they had become a part of the crew.
(( I check thouroughly, serv made no previous post to the decapitation, so basically that was the intro post. Therefore I must assume people who seem to know serv's name are either under some strange enchantment, or already knew him. It's a mystery. Just like who shoved hoban, accept this time it's who killed serv and when did serv get on the weewoo in the first place? Sorry if I'm being picky, but I need to know, it's driving me nuts >.>))

((And the plotline is drifting towards a waterfall again? Mkay, then I'm gonna twist it again x3 How come I'm not the First Mate after all that plotline poking? *ponders* *wanders off to kill Thundy in his sleep* And dontcha dare to QM that x___X))
Bloody Mary looked up at the kitsune girl and scratched his little head. "What we do with traitors? Well, it's been a while since we ran into one, as it's been a while since we were in a crew..."
"Unless you count that guy back on "Queen of Altador"," Bob remembered, sitting back. "Y'remember, the one who killed two of the crewmates to get their gold and all that stuff."
Bloody Mary nodded, a stream of memories flowing over his face. "Not that I really liked those crewmates but it's all about principles... so yah, we had a nice long talk with him."
"And he was very understanding," Joe added with a grin. "Listened very carefully, never talked back."
"Probly 'cause his mouth was twenty feet away from his ears at that moment," Justice remarked, concentrating on her book again. The other meepits shrugged absently.
Huntress had sat down by the main mast in the meantime to clean her crossbow. Now she looked up. "Would ye guys stop yapping an' look at the horizon? Ye've been to places, maybe ye can explain why it looks so weird over there."
The meepits glanced towards the prow and blinked in confusion. The sky was generally cloudless that day but there was one cloud, one single cloud on the horizon. It was bluish grey, very long and very low, yet it only covered one layer of air - the sky above and below it was as blue as everywhere else - even if the sky below the cloud seemed to be getting hazy by the minute.
"Never seen anything like that," Bob said with a scowl. "Have you?" The others shook their heads, except for Justice, whose eyes had widened.
"I've read about this," she said, putting the book aside. "We can't avoid it any more, can we?"
"What is this?" Joe demanded. The female meepit whimpered quietly.
"You... know waterspouts, right?" The gang nodded. "Well... that kinda cloud is able to produce dozens of these. And a small brigantine like this one..."
((As for Servi, we don't know who killed him x3 Yay for mysterious cloaked figures. How he got here is a question that needs to be answered by the ship guards >> How we know him... blame teh good olde notorious Tabloids ^^))

((.. Ok then. XD))
Keng's ears pickied up at the mention of waterspouts, or more specifically, the mention of many waterspouts. She lifted her head up from her work for a moment to peek over the railing. A shiver ran down her spine. Normally the feral dog in her could smell something like this comming. But looking at it, she would probably not of caught the wiff for another few minutes, an even more disturbing though. That and the fact that the cloud had not been there when she had begun to scrub the deck meant it was comming in fast.
She stood up to get a better feel for the situation. The wind, while not to strong yet, was steady and coming from the direction of the storm. The ship's railing had shielded her from it while she had been working. It had an almost sweet but deceptive scent to it. Like a light breeze on a warm day that carried thunder heads behind it. But this was going to be much worse than thunderheads.
Keng stood stairing at it, having forgotten about her work at the time. Scallywag seemed worried by it too, not daring to take flight from his low pearch on a barrel.

Ikkin looked off in the direction of the waterspouts, unsure about what to do. She had never seen anything like it before, but she had definitely heard of waterspouts- they looked like tornados of water, and were just as dangerous to anything that might run into them.
She ran to the railing to get a closer look. There were no actual waterspouts yet, but the disturbances in the wind told her that there probably would be soon. It seemed unlikely that there was anything she could do- her control over the air was not nearly powerful enough to stop a force of nature. Perhaps she could help direct the ship, but that was all, and even that would take a great deal of energy.
"Has anyone ever faced one of these before? Or are we just running blind here?" she asked.

Serv came out of the wardrobe, having finally managed to don some underwear in the dark and limited space there was. He rubbed his stomach. He let out a small whimper. "I'm Hungry Echo". He said pathetically.

Echo gaped, and the grinned, hugging Serv tightly. "You...how...what...YOU'RE ALIIIIIVE!" She wiped her eyes and stepped back. "Hey, there's some pants on your bed. I'm gonna go fix a BIG supper! What would you like?"

Komori looked out across the water, the dizzyness in her head finally clearing. She saw the cloud that everyone was staring so intently at, but she didn't see what the big deal was.
"Heck. If that cloud kin make waterspouts, then why don't we just not sail into it?" It didn't seem like such a big cloud to her. And it was still a ways away. How much damage could one tiny cloud do? Seemed to her that some of the crew was just itching for some action.
She heard someone below deck mention supper. Come to think of it, she was rather hungry. "Hey there, whoever ye are!" she called down, "Ye takin' order requests? Cook me up a couple o' fish!"
