*looking o me shoulder, to make sure no soul be following, all'st I see is a deserted street an the Green Dragon Tavern's sally port. Ne'er a peep from d' town...


...

*trusting no one, I take a winding circuitous path [only because I'm drunked'd]"urrrrrgh arrrrr urrrrrgh, hic ... yarrr" straight to me ship,
the Queen's Retribution, formerly HfrigginMS Galliant. ...




*looking for me First Mate, I find her on the quarter deck, standing there looking all too smug, hinting a smile at me.

"Aye, me suspects someone's been in the sugar again, why for ye look so happy? hmmm? Thy cannons all polished? Shoot some arse in the face?" I says.

She thrusts a wanted bill in me glove, points to me name, an burst out laughing ...



I read the bill, an spy her amusement. 0.0

"Why yes, me proper name is Kingsly, what's so funny about Kinglsy? not piratey enough?

she keels over with laughter.

"urrrrgh, aye, tis why I shortened it to King, you see. Oh look'see 'ere? I am now worth 10,000 in gold. nice. I am finally getting the recognition I deserve."

She then shows me, another wanted bill, with her image 'splayed over it. ...




"32,000!!?!"

*she boles over a'laughing now. Tears, she's actually gots tears running down her face. Me suspects she will have to attend the little lady's closet, next*

~oh I know I shant ever live this down~

"Hmmmphrrah, Well, enough of this frivolity," I says, handing her a silken hankerchief.

"Report on our provisions, Vice-Captain la Vindii?" trying to sound authoritative.
