* Logging #Erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#Erevis.20080206.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Not applicable.
<DeathStar> Location: Who Knows
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Ariel wakes up again on the ground, with a strange sky above, and a certain pathetic aid next to her. Or him. We still don't know
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* ChanServ sets mode: -o Megumi
<Megumi> Oyyy... Wake up y'worthless lug..
* Ariel stares up quietly at the sky. "...that better not have been directed at me."
* Megumi shifts at Ariel with her foot slightly, looking groggy herself lately. She coughs once behind her hand, but shakes it off and gives Ariel another half-hearted nudge. 1"...Why not? Y'still sleepin' way t'damn late."
<Megumi> Th'lousy King Winters summoned you again while y'were dozin' off to th'clouds.
* Ariel gets up, eyeing Megumi. Then nods. "We should make haste then." She dreads what this might be about.
<Megumi> Alrighty." 6Whistles to the horse and pony.
<Megumi> I packed things this time. So, y'know, be grateful..
* Megumi ambles off, holding her forehead.
* Ariel picks up her things and goes to climb aback her mount. It was so odd to ride an animal. But... she had less qualms with that than being here in the first place. Where ever 'here' is...
<Ariel> "Are you alright, Megumi?"
<Megumi> Yea, yea.
* Megumi grabs the saddle mount and hops up onto her pony, yawning behind a hand. 1"Get movin' y'lordship."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* After riding for a while, they arrive in the familiar town around the Castle. Events are continuing as usual in this medieval world.
* Ariel heads for the castle. If Chad has summoned her, it must be important... or Chad is being an ass. Either way, if she doesn't get this over with, Megumi will never let her be.
<DeathStar> 6* Riding up beside Ariel, wearing slightlyless Knightly clothes, is none other than Darien Starr. He glances at Ariel. "I don't imagine you're here to see my off on my upcoming assignment of glory."
* Angela holds onto Darien from behind, dressed in a simply, if showy dress, resting her head on his back with a content smile on her face.
<Ariel> "An upcoming assignment of glory?" *fearful to ask what he's asked to do*
<Megumi> ...You got a bloody mission? Ahahaha...
<DeathStar> 6* He reaches over and steals a bottle of booze from a guy who scowls. "A Knight needs his substance." 6* He guzzles it. Seems he's still a drunk.
* Megumi pats her leg and laughs heartily, before facing the other way, hacking repeatedly.
<Angela> "So smooth, Master."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Still not dead yet, Squire Megumi?
* Angela swoons a little.
<Ariel> "So what does the king have you doing?"
<Megumi> No," 6Hack, recovers and glares at Darien. 1"But I'll make sure y'die first if y'crack jokes like that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm not sure. He asked me to see him today for a glorious assignment
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then scowls. "Wait, are you here to see the King, too?"
<Megumi> Duh, y'dumbass.
* Megumi pulls an eyelid down at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You bring much honor to your Master, Squire.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes another long swig.
* Angela pouts a little, "Do we have to work with them Master? They were mean to me last time we met."
* Megumi flips Darien the bird, gazing off and away while thinking about that.
* Ariel glances at Megumi, then Darien, and then urges the horse towards the castle at a faster pace.
<DeathStar> <Darien> See? He's in a bad mood because of you. 6* He tells Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* At the Castle gates is none other than Zephyr, looking royally ticked off as usual.
* Megumi sticks her tongue out at Darien along the way, then shifts her eyes and pauses, gathering herself up, throwing her hands out. 1"Lady Zephyr!"
* Ariel smiles at the sight of the unhappy Zephyr, bowing her head. "Lady Zephyr... it is good to see you."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lord. 6* He rolls his eyes.
* Angela waves at Zephyr from her spot behind Darien, resting her chin on Darien's shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Lady Zephyr looks up. "Ah, Sir Ariel. You are only marginally late." 6* She ignores the drunkard Knight behind her, Darien. "The King is tied up with worry about the latest situation."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pats Angela affectionately.
<DeathStar> 6* He loves having a lackey instead of being one
* Ariel dismounts, "What is the situation? I haven't heard word."
* Megumi waves her hand dismissingly. 1"Ah, no worries, Lady Zephyr. Surely th'Lord Ariel can handle it with ease, eh?"
* Angela giggles happily and kisses his cheek.
* Ariel is making a very significant effort to ignore Darien and Angel, in Zephyr's presence.
<DeathStar> 6* Lady Zephyr nods. "This is true." 6* She continues to ignore Darien and Angela, her lip curling downward. "Please follow me. I will have your horses and... pony.. watched."
<DeathStar> 6* Lady Zephyr moves for the Castle, waving her hand for guards to open the doors and deal with the animals.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dismounts. "I don't think she likes me."
* Angela climbs down and moves to hang of Darien's arm. "I can't imagine why Master."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nobles. 6* He rolls his eyes.
* Ariel eyes Darien a moment, then gestures for Megumi to follow as she heads after Zephyr.
<Angela> "Aren't you a Noble Master?" *she continues to fawn over him as if it were her duty in life... well... it is*
* Chad`Winters is now known as KingChad
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hands a guard his bottle of booze. "Don't want to seem like a peasant in front of the King."
<DeathStar> 6* Lady Zephyr leads them all into the throne room of King Lousy Chad the XII. She bows. "My liege, Lord Ariel is here."
* Angela nods and eyes her dresses a little, fixing it so the neckline is right and doesn't show a little more then it's suppsoed to* "Think I dressed well enough Master?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pats her hand affectionately, then holds up a finger to indicate silence. He motions at the King. He bows exaggeratedly.
* KingChad slowly rises and rests his hands on his sword. 1"Thank you Noble Zephyr." He nods to her.
* Megumi strolls in behind Ariel, hands clasps behind her head, but then coughs and kneels properly this time. She needs her head for however much longer it functions.
* Ariel kneels before the king. "Your majesty."
* Angela looks up, then curtseys.
<DeathStar> 6* Lady Zephyr steps to the side. As if sensing Lord Ariel is here, both princesses arrive to fawn at him. Aya waves flirtatiously and Erevis gives her a smile.
<KingChad> I see you've finally taught your squire some manners, Ariel.
<Ariel> "She may learn slowly sometimes, me liege. But she does learn."
<KingChad> Than perhaps there is hope for her than. 6He looks down at all 4 of them. 1"And I see that the self-proclaimed knight has picked up his servant."
* Angela smiles and hugs Darien's arm a little more.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien perks up. "Yes, my liege. She's a fine 'squire'."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Does for me than other squires do for their Knights. 6* He glances at Megumi.
* Ariel looks at Darien, "May I ask how you retrieved her from the black knight?"
* Angela giggles and blushes a bit at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "You don't remember taking down the Black Knight, Lord Ariel?"
<KingChad> I'm sure she makes a wonderful wine mule. 6He studies him now
* Ariel bites her tounge, uncertain how to reply to that one.
<Angela> "It was you who rescued me Sir Knight... though seeing as you handed me to him in the first place I suppose it was simply part of your plan."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It was a brilliant battle. Though you did fail to kill him. Again. I can't understand why. 6* He gives Erevis a smile. She recoils, as if looked upon by a barbarian
* Ariel simply nods, and looks to King Chad. "...what is it that is troubling you, my liege?" She needs to get off that subject.
<DeathStar> 6* Lady Zephyr sprays some perfume in Darien's direction, as if to battle offensive smells.
* Megumi twitches slightly, mumbling. 1"Why don't they get nagged for talkin' here..."
* Angela wafts the free perfume onto herself, and snuggles her knight's arm.
<KingChad> It appears the port town of Azuls has found itself the target of recent raids by several Pirate Lords.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien considers. "Pirate Lords?"
<KingChad> From what my men have gathered from rumors, yes. I know of two atleast that seem to enjoy raiding my port towns. Your jobs are to bring me their heads so that I may send a message to the rest of their like.
* Megumi glances upward blinking a few times, then wincing. 1"'Ey uh.. isn't this a job for the locals or somethin'? I mean pirates are kind of..." 6She inches away slightly.
* Ariel looks at Megumi, "Kind of...?"
* Megumi laughs nervously, rubbing her head.
<Angela> "It sounds dangerous and adventursome!" *she looks up admiringly at Darien*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is the Knight's Squire afraid of Pirates?
* Megumi points toward Darien and snaps. 1"Hell no!"
<Megumi> I just... well.. eh...
<DeathStar> <Princess Aya> I am sure your Knight can handle it just fine, young squire. 6* She smiles at Ariel
* Megumi glances off. She can't really contest that and remain 'credible.'
<Megumi> One of 'em's a little... off and... kind of... dangerous..
<DeathStar> <Darien> My liege. Young children's fears asides, how will we find the Pirate Lords?
<KingChad> You'll also have one more traveller with you since my best Knight seems to have failed me lately.
* Xanatos is now known as DarkKnight
* Ariel hangs her head. She wasn't even around to fail him.
* DarkKnight steps out from the side.
* Megumi holds up a hand and bitterly whispers at Ariel. 1"I used t'work for one. Stowaway back in th'day y'know?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares. "It's the bloody Black Knight!"
<DarkKnight> Oh dear lord. I'm working with them!? Bloody hell. *he sighs and shakes his head*
* Megumi gapes at the dark knight.
* Ariel looks up sharply, hand going to her sword.
<DeathStar> 6* Princess Aya scowls at him. Erevis looks offended.
* DarkKnight pauses. "Hey, that's my whore!" He points at Angela.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I won her fair and squire.
<KingChad> Yes it is. I made a deal he couldn't refuse. He will lead you to the Pirate Lords themselves, in return, he will be granted a pardon.
<DarkKnight> You didn't do shit you drunken slob.
* Angela blinks and looks at the Dark Knight, and hugs herself to Darien, "H-He bought me! He has papers and everything!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cowers down
* DarkKnight just snorts and shakes his head. "Seriously mate. Give me back my whore."
<KingChad> Knight Ariel, if he betrays you, I give you permission to take his life. 6He eyes the Dark Knight.
* Ariel nods, "I understand."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then shrugs helplessly and steps aside. "Tough luck, luv."
* DarkKnight holds up his hands. "Whoa whoa. We're all mates here. We'll be golden."
<Angela> "Master... Master stand straight... you have to defend me!"
<DeathStar> <Lady Zephyr> I suggest taking his head if he causes you problems.
* DarkKnight snaps his fingers at Angela and points to the ground beside of him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whistles, glancing up at the ceiling
* Ariel smiles a little at that, "I will keep that in mind, Lady Zephyr."
* Angela sighs dejectedly and goes to stand beside the Dark Knight.
<KingChad> The deal still stands Knight Ariel. Bring me their heads and Princess Erevis' hand in marriage will be yours.
* DarkKnight grins widely and crosses his arm. "Right then. If I get this Pardon, can I have my castle back too?" He looks to the King.
<Angela> "This isn't fair... he's rough in bed."
* Ariel nods slower. She's never asked for this arrangement... did her counterpart?
<DeathStar> 6* Princess Erevis smiles at Ariel. Aya puffs her cheeks.
<KingChad> I can take your life now if you would like. 6He grips his hilt tightly
<Megumi> Ari-- ...Lord Ariel.. About the Pirate Lords..
* DarkKnight waves a hand. "Just joshin you mate." He laughs lightly then slaps Angela on the ass.
* Ariel gives Erevis a small smile none the less, and looks to Megumi. "About them?"
* Angela gasps and blushes, fixing her skirt.
* Megumi holds up a hand for privacy again. 1"It's not worth it, man, I'm tellin' ye..."
<DarkKnight> Oh they're just a lot of smelly ponces. Float the way of a shirley if you get what i'm saying. *he nods with a wink*
* DarkKnight is now known as Drasek`
<Angela> "New Master, I'm not sure any of us get what you're saying."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. Why don't you lead the way to the Pirate Lords, so we can make with awards and riches.
<Drasek`> Oh you like rewards and riches, eh? Fair enough mate. Let's see if you'll actually stand up and fight this time. *he motions for them to follow him*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien snorts.
* Drasek` stops and pauses, glancing at Darien. "Was something funny?"
* Ariel stands and heads after Drasek. Not too happy about this arrangement.
<DeathStar> <Darien> N-Nothing.
<Megumi> /me follows Ariel, tugging on her clothing.
* Drasek` nods his head slowly. "Didn't think so." He turns and begins to move on again.
* Angela pouts at Darien, she sighs and moves along with Drasek.
* Megumi follows Ariel, tugging on her clothing. 1"I don't wanna go... Ugh..."
<DeathStar> <Lady Zephyr> Good Luck, Knight Ariel. I think you will need it.
* Megumi turns and waves cheerfully. 1"Buh-bai, Lady Zephyr!'
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yarr. 6* He tells Megumi, walking after Drasek
<DeathStar> <Lady Zephyr> ... *she gives a reluctant wave to her fanatical fan*
* Ariel bows her head to Zephyr, wondering what the warning is about.
* Megumi waits until they're out of sight of the royals and flings an empty coffee cup at Darien.
<Megumi> I told y'I'm not afraid y'damn nut.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien winces. "Ow!"
<Angela> "Hey! Don't damage my Master!"
* Ariel looks to Megumi after they leave the room, "I know you're strong, Megumi. You can make it through this."
* Megumi stares at Ariel.
* Drasek` places his hands on the back of Angela's neck and squeezes. "Don't worry luv, no one is hurtin me a'tall."
<Megumi> Y'too!? Don't be a moron. I'm tellin' y'I'm not afraid at all. One of the lords is just a complete case!
<Ariel> "Hence why I rather have you at my side, than not."
* Angela eeps a little and sighs, loosening up suddenly, resigning herself to the fact that she's been... given... to Drasek. "Yes... Master."
<Megumi> ...Wait a second
* Megumi points accusingly. 1"You're usin' me for a shield!?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> About all you're good for, Squire.
<Megumi> That's it
<Megumi> C'mere 'Lordy!'
<Ariel> "No... but you're more knowledgable on this 'nut' than I am."
* Megumi heaves her oversized blade up and starts to chase Darien
* Ariel takes Megumi by the collar, "...and refrain from beating on our allies."
* Drasek` leads them out to their horses, walking up to his sleek black horse. "It's quite a ride. Hope you lot don't get sore quick. I know my whore doesn't." He gives Angela a wink.
<Megumi> ...G'damn it
* Megumi narrows her eyes at Darien. She'll get him next time.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives a wave and climbs on his horse.
* Angela blushes deeply, "In front of you or behind you Master?"
<DeathStar> 6* Princess Erevis arrives to see them off. "Come back safely, Sir Ariel. I will pray for your victory and safe return."
<Drasek`> Oh. I think you should ride up front. *he saddles up on his horse* Facing me. *he gives her another wink*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien snatches his bottle back from the guard, guzzling it.
* Ariel lifts Megumi up onto her pony, then mounts her own horse. She wonders if her counterpart just takes the day off when he knows that it'll be crazy. Still, she smiles to Erevis, "I thank you for your concern. We will make haste."
* Angela blushes terribly and does as she's told.
* Megumi leaps from the ground atop her war pony.
<Megumi> Ah-hah. I never could do that before!" 6Oblivious to Ariel's help.
* Drasek` snorts with laughter and motiosn Angela to get behind him, it seems he was just testing her....for now.
* Angela switches positions and wraps her arms around him from behind.
<Drasek`> Not to tight. Don't want my armor chaffing my nipples. That would be a very bad thing. *he notes, then begins to move out towards the road*
<Megumi> Oy, Princess. Lady Zephyr like any flowers or somethin'?
<DeathStar> <Princess Erevis> I believe she does, yes, Squire Megumi.
* Angela adjusts herself and rests her head against his back.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rides up beside Ariel. "I bet we'll get a bonus if we knife the Black Knight in the back after we reach the Pirate Lords."
* Megumi grasps at the air in victory. 1"...Wait. What kind.."
<DeathStar> <Princess Erevis> I'll make note to ask her for you.
* Megumi waves her hands. 1"Wahh! Don't tell 'er!"
<DeathStar> <Princess Erevis> I can be secretive. 6* She winks and moves inside.
* Megumi stares, then glances to the others. 1"H-Holy crap. It's that obvious?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Blindingly.
<Ariel> "...painfully."
* Megumi facepalms. 1"Son o' fah bitch."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes a swallow of his alcohol. "Well, maybe if you're lucky, you'll die from the plague before she realizes."
* Megumi goes to flip Darien off, then breaks into coughing again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lady luck!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows after Drasek
<Drasek`> Think she just swallowed a bug, mate.
* Megumi wipes away blood from her mouth and grumbles. 1"I'm fine. Just sh'adap and move it."
<DeathStar> 6* And so, our heroes traveled for many days through the lands of this medieval world.
<DeathStar> 6* Until finally they reached the shores of a shadey port town, not located in their own country's borders.
<Megumi> ..Home sweet home. Beh.
* Angela rests against her Master, looking more exhausted from the trip then the rest.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks painfully sober. "Finally."
* Drasek` looks about the town as he rides his horse through the town, he slows down to a trot, then finally dismounts and ties his horse up. "Here we are. Got a fella in the pub round here. He'll get us where we need to go."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Pub?
<DeathStar> 6* He perks up.
* Ariel sighs
* Angela gets off the horse, quietly hugging into Drasek's arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides off his horse.
* Drasek` tilts his head and looks at Darien. "You won't be drinking. We've not the time." He turns and moves to step into the pub.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes faces at Drasek's back
* Ariel climbs down, "I suppose a pub was enevitable when pirates are involved."
<Megumi> Damn straight.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's why I always wanted to a pirate as a wee lad.
* Angela steps in with Drasek , leaning against him slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows.
<Megumi> They make m'favorite dish here, too
* Drasek` stops once inside and then slowly glances around. "You lot go mingle. I'll fetch the man." He hands Angela some coin. "Eat. Can't have my whore getting boney." He turns and walks off to one of the back tables.
* Megumi hops off her pony and ties it, following along.
* Ariel secures her horse and steps inside.
* Megumi practically bounces to the counter. 1"Hey ol' man. Long time n'see. Gimme the spiced rat, 'kay!?"
* Angela takes the coin and goes to order a meal, a blush on her cheeks. She's been burning a lot of calories on this journey!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. "So tell me. Why did you become a Knight?"
<KingChad> 6The old man grabs something off the floor from behind the counter and tosses a 'spiced' rat onto a plate and slides it over to Megumi.
* Ariel cringes at the thought of eating rat. "Why did I become a knight?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Megumi. "No wonder you have the plague."
* Megumi naturally eats such a dish with her hands. Looks like a ...well... charbroiled rat on a stick peppered in various spices. "1Hey, Darky's whore. Y'should try this. It's good eatin'."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. For glory and riches, or to marry your way into the King's circle?
* Angela eats well off the coin she was given, looking over at Ariel and Megumi.
<Angela> "I'm fine thanks, little girl."
* Megumi peers at the three. 1"What? It's not like it's always rat. Sometimes it's just someone who wasn't where they oughta."
* Ariel shakes her head, "Niether... though, the later seems like it'd be easier than I'd have believed."
* Drasek` steps back out after a little bit with another man, a ragged looking man with a beard, pony tail, and clothes that look like they've seen a day, but an assortment of layers at that, he has a pirate hat atop of his head and a eyepatch over his right eye. "Right right. Servants, this is the fellow that is going to help us out."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wait, Servants?
* Drasek` eyes Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cowers.
<Megumi> Th'fuck man. I don't even listen t'Lordy, let 'lone you.
* Ariel doesn't question it. It'd be easier for the contact to accept than 'group of knights and squire and whore'
<Drasek`> 6* The man nods his head slightly, resting a hand each on the scabbards at his side. "I am Xanatos. I'll take you on whenever you're ready."
* Ariel pauses, trying to hold back a smirk.
<Megumi> Jam an' toast? What kind'ah pirate name's that?
* Megumi gestures with her remaining half of rat on a stick and bursts out laughing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You really need to hope that rat finishes off her body
<Drasek`> Alright mate. This here is Darien. He's a ponce and has a nice assortment of girl parts. That is Megumi, ignore it. That's my whore over there and this is the Knight Sir Ariel. Careful, he's a tough one.
* Angela moves back to Drasek's side, her meal finished.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms.
<Drasek`> *Xanatos looks to each of them as Drasek announces them, and it does seem like he ignores Megumi. He looks at Ariel. "Pleasure." He holds out a dirty hand.
<Megumi> Ignore me?! I'll cut y'in two y'cocky strawbeatin' can opener!
* Ariel pauses, then shakes his hand. Glad she wears gloves.
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> If that is your squire, as I was told. Please teach her some manners. Or else I will not help you.
* Megumi stares. 1"...A pirate talkin' 'bout manners? Twice the fuck?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something tells me we're not going to be seein' no pirate lords if you keep talking.
<Angela> "She is an upstart little girl, please forgive her Mister Xanatos. My Master is forced to deal with her."
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Not everyone has to be a stereotype such as yourself, squire. *he says with a glance, his voice aged and raspy*
<Megumi> Idiot, don't say that here..
<Drasek`> Damn right i'm forced too. Else i'd have killed her already. *he nods to Angela, thinking she's got the idea*
* Ariel glances at her squire. "Megumi. Watch yourself. We can't afford to mess this up."
* Angela blushes and hugs her master's arm.
<Megumi> Fine. But I'm goin' t'send his ass to the bottom of th'sea if he keeps actin' high.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, lets go. 6* The pirates in the background are breaking out into song and dance about Pirate Lords.
* Megumi twitches slightly at Darien.
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Very well. Follow me. *he steps outside*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tries to grab a tankard to salute the singers - and get a drink.
* Drasek` places a hand around Angela's shoulders and thwaps Darien when he walks by him to the outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cowers.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* And so, after securing a ride on Xanatos' small ship, they set sail into the ocean, riding out to the hidden lair of the Pirate Lords. The sky is dark with storm clouds, but other than winds, no rain.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What do you mean this is a dry ship? 6* He says, agast.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos steers the ship, glancing at Darien. "No one drinks on my boat."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's nuts. Nuts!
* Angela giggles a little and nuzzles Drasek's arm.
* Drasek` is towards the front of the boat, doing things with Angela under some covers.
* Angela is quite busy under the covers!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps hearing a WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP sound under the deck
<Ariel> "You're quite the unusual pirate, Xanatos."
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> I've seen rum destroy many a good men. *he says simply to Ariel*
* Ariel nods, and glances at Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "Wait, what?"
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos' eye drifts to Darien, looking him up and down before looking ahead, turning the ship slightly.
* Drasek` apparently finishes and comes back up to the deck, pulling a shirt on. "Bloody hell I missed that whore."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... She has a name, you know.
* Drasek` pauses and glances at Darien. "I'm sorry. You say somethin?"
<Megumi> So uh. Are y'really a pirate?
<Megumi> Y'seem more like an ordinary seaman t'me.
* Angela comes up a short while later, covered in what appears to be one of Drasek's spare shirts. "You didn't have to tear the dress off literally..."
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Guess it depends on who you talk to. Though most anyone who would call me a pirate won't be speaking.
<Drasek`> Well those latches and buttons are frustratin.
* Ariel focuses on the water, her left eye twitching.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, sighing
* Megumi stares eerily at Xanatos. 1"...Pirate."
<DeathStar> <Darien> There she goes again.
<Angela> "Yes but... this barely covers me at all..." *she blushes and tries fixing it to stay shut*
<DeathStar> 6* And suddenly up ahead is a giant skull mountain shaped island, with a huge ass pirate ship parked next to the right eye. The storm clouds rumble with lightning
<Drasek`> Get the drunk over there to give you one of his dresses. *he motions*
<Megumi> No person not a pirate'd phrase it like that...
* Megumi shivers. 1"I'm not lookin' forward t'seein' that Lord..."
* Ariel pauses, spoting the island. "...a skull shaped mountain. Who would have thought."
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos says nothing, and simply works on piloting his boat.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It seems very Piratey.
<Angela> "Mister Former Master... you have dresses?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... no
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs more.
* Drasek` snorts and laughs at that.
* Angela pouts and tries fixing her shirt in front of him. The white cloth and some undergarments the only things on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. "So, Sir Ariel, what's the plan?"
* Drasek` motions at Megumi. "Maybe she'll have some rags for yah to wear." He says to Angela.
* Ariel glances at Xanatos. "You seem to know the situation best. What should we expect there?"
<Megumi> Plans don't work on pirates.
* Megumi scoffs at Drasek. 1"Clothe y'own pets."
* Angela looks over at her, "BUt she's so little, your shirt barely covers my chest as is."
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos glances at Ariel, then motions to Megumi. "She has quite the point."
* Megumi raises her blade. 1"...I kin fix that fer ye, missy..."
* Angela gasps and hides behind Drasek.
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> But I would think you could expect pirates. Lightly armored, but talented fighters.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe we should challenge them to a duel. Don't the accept duels?
* Drasek` points to Megumi. "Lower that blade or i'll rip your head off and feed your innards to the fishes.
<Ariel> "Any idea how many?"
<Ariel> "Or fortifications?"
* Megumi narrows her eyes. 1"Don't think 'cause I'm 'a lowly squire' I'm any easier than Lordy to take down."
* Megumi turns and leans on the sword. 1"Fightin' pirates is fun. Good memories."
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> More than the small bit of us could be able to handle. That is a fortress. *he points* And that is their ship. *he points to the large pirate ship*
<Drasek`> NRP: He points to the island*
<Megumi> That's why y'aim for the head. Or the Lord, so t'speak.
* Ariel nods in agreement.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We could sell them the squire.
<Megumi> Most of 'em are itchin' t'take the helm, so if y'present an opportunity for mutiny, it's pretty hilarious.
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Yes. Then everyone else would begin to fight and attempt to prove their worth as a Lord.
* Megumi rubs her neck and glances off. 1"Reason ah got booted overboard."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nice backstory subplot there, but lets stay focused.
* Megumi flips Darien off.
<Drasek`> Whoa whoa. What about parlay or whatever they call it?
<Megumi> Might work for Jam an' Toast here, but not me.
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the pirate ship.
<Ariel> "Parlay? Does that really work with pirates?"
<DeathStar> 6* suddenly, the ship unholsters tons of cannons and pirates leap out onto the deck, aiming their swords
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Well, I sure to God hope it does.
* Megumi shrugs. 1"Depends on the pirate, an' which pirate's askin'."
<Megumi> ...Damn. Guess they ran out ah drinks.
* Angela hides behind Drasek.
<Drasek`> * Xanatos glances up, and frowns slightly. "So much for the quiet surprise attack."
* Megumi points to Angela. 1"'Ey, she's a whore, so take 'er first."
* Drasek` blinks and holds up his hand. "Whoa mates, i'm with you."
<DeathStar> 6* A pirate with red hair, wearing a flamboyant colored outfit, staggers out, his hands to either side of him. He has a funny curly mustache and beard. "A-ha! You have fallen into my trap!"
<Megumi> ...
<Drasek`> Bloody hell. Can I call you redbeard?
* Megumi eyes the leader. Then points to Darien. 1"Take 'em first."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wait, what?
* Angela clings to her master, terrified of the pirates.
* Ariel eyes the pirates who appeared like bloody ninjas. She looks to the obvious leader, "And you are?"
<KingChad> 6Another pirate with silver hair and a scar running along his face stands up on the railing. 1"Well lookey lookey who we got here."
<DeathStar> 6* The pirate pulls off his hat, bowing. "I am the Pirate Lord, McCormick."
<DeathStar> 6* He stands up, putting on his hat, walking toward the edge of his own deck, swaggering like he's drunk, or something else. He props a foot on the railing. "And this here is..."
<Ariel> "...John?"
* Megumi twitches visibly. 1"Man, why these two? Couldn't some other Lords knock 'em off?"
<DeathStar> <John> No, I'm John. HE's...
<KingChad> <Dias> The greatest Pirate Lord to ever be. Pirate Lord Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* All the pirates go YAAAAAR!
<KingChad> 6Dias bows, his hands moving about.
<Drasek`> So you're a better Pirate Lord than Redbeard here? *he motions*
<KingChad> <Dias> I don't know, what time is it?
* Ariel rubs her head, "You guys really should be in a better line of work."
<Drasek`> How the bloody fuck would I know?
<DeathStar> 6* John McCormick looks over at them. "It's after noon. Get it? AFTERnoon."
<DeathStar> 6* All the pirates go YAAAAAR!
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't get it.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos just sighs.
<KingChad> <Dias> For the next 3 hours I be.
* Megumi raises her hands. 1"RAGHHhh!"
<Megumi> I can't stand 'em!
<Ariel> "We're only here for your heads, so if you could quietly hand them over, we'll be on our way."
<KingChad> 6Dias looks over at John
<DeathStar> 6* John begins to laugh, slapping his knee. "Our heads."
* Megumi blinks a few times, then turns and runs for the rail of the ship and begins to cough. 1"'Ey Ariel. I think he wants you to have his head."
<DeathStar> 6* John gestures back at his pirates. "You be hearin' that mates? They want our heads!"
* Megumi continues to hack over the rail.
<KingChad> <Dias> Yar, our heads.
<DeathStar> 6* All the pirates go YAAAAAR!
<Ariel> "No. Not theirs. Just yours, and Dias'."
* Megumi groans. 1"Lordy doesn't get it."
* Drasek` sighs, seeing the cannons and then the size of their boat. "We're going to die."
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Ariel, laughing. "Well, mate, you sure be a firey one. I find that endearing."
<KingChad> <Dias> There be a problem with that tho.
* Megumi wipes away her mouth and returns, inching over to Ariel. 1"McCormick's a ... y'know."
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Challenge them to a duel. *he whispers to Ariel*
* Ariel glances at Megumi, not getting it.
<KingChad> <Dias> Since they be attached to our bodies.
<Megumi> ...A butt pirate.
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Wait, what?
* Drasek` snorts and just falls over laughing.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Dias. "Did that little waif call me a butt pirate?"
<KingChad> 6Dias glances over at John. 1"I'm afraid so."
<DeathStar> 6* All the pirates go deathly silent.
* Megumi rubs her chin. 1"Hmm... Deja vu."
* Angela giggles and falls over as well with her master falling over while she's attached to him.
<DeathStar> 6* John rips off his hat, as if upset, and tosses it on the deck, stomping. "I hate it when people call me a butt pirate. Fire the cannons!"
* Drasek` pulls himself up, wiping at his eyes. "Seriously!? You fucking twat!"
<KingChad> <Dias> FIRE THE CANNONS! 6He throws his hand up
* Megumi smacks her palm. 1"Oh, right."
<DeathStar> <Pirates> FIRE THE CANNONS! 6* They begin to aim
<Drasek`> 6* Xan jerks his ship and tries to get out of the way.
* Megumi hops atop the railing and raises a fist. 1"CEASE FIRE!"
<KingChad> <Dias> Cease fire?
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're going to diee?!
<DeathStar> <John> Never heard of it. Keep aiming, boys. I'll give you a special prize during meal time.
<Megumi> All hands! One o'clock bottle time!
<KingChad> <Dias> Give them a view of Davy Jone's locker.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Dias. "Aye, mate. You can give the order to fire anytime. Since it's afternoon."
<Ariel> "If you fire, all the grog on this ship will be lost."
* Drasek` waves his hands. "Whooaaaa whooaaa."
<KingChad> <Dias> What year grog be it? 6He leans forward precariously
<DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms, holding up his head, insulted and annoyed. "Forget the grog, Dias. She called me a butt pirate."
<Drasek`> I uhh...*he pauses* I call Parlay. *he scratches his head*
<Ariel> "Is any good selection of grog only from one year?"
* Megumi turns to face Xan's ship. 1"One o'clock bottle commence, since it be the last liquor o' its kind. A sad day it be lost."
<KingChad> <Dias> FIR-6He pauses, staring blankly.
<Drasek`> Is that how you do it? *he whispers to Angela*
<DeathStar> <John> Wait, pay-what?
<KingChad> <Dias> Parsley?
<DeathStar> <John> Never heard of pasley.
<DeathStar> 6* The pirates keep waiting for the order
* Angela nods to her master. "Very good master..."
<KingChad> <Dias> Either have I.
<Drasek`> Parlay? Isn't that the word for truce?
<DeathStar> 6* John kicks his hat. "I hate it when they use that word."
<KingChad> <Dias> God damn't. 6He scowls, stomping his foot.
<Ariel> "...closer to, 'don't shoot, I want to talk'."
<Megumi> Lordy, y'know pirate codes?
* Megumi stares at Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Dias.
<Ariel> "...I watch the occasional movie."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mov--ie?
<Megumi> ...Huh?
<Angela> "...What is this... Move-ee?"
<KingChad> <Dias> You know what. We're pirates.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos keeps his hands on the steering wheel. Watching the two lords.
<DeathStar> <John> Indeed, mate. We be pirate LORDS.
<KingChad> <Dias> And they called you a butt pirate.
<Ariel> "Yeah... nevermind. Forget I said anything."
<DeathStar> <John> *makes a whining sound*
<KingChad> <Dias> FIRE!
* Angela looks to Drasek, "It sounds like something we can try next time."
<Megumi> ...Butt LORD!?
<DeathStar> 6* The pirates fire into Xan's ship
<DeathStar> 6* Darien staggers as the ship shudders
<Drasek`> Oh bloody hell. *he flails and tries to get out of the way*
* Ariel takes cover.
* Angela takes cover behind Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ducks as a mast is shot in half.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos breathes a string of curses as he tries to do something, but his poor ship is getting fucked.
<DeathStar> <John> She called me a butt lord! FIRE FIRE FIRE. 6* He stomps his foot.
<KingChad> <Dias> You heard 'em mates. Teach those land lovers a lesson.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think we need to jump ship.
<Megumi> T'what..?
<DeathStar> 6* Xan's ship begins to sink
* Ariel grabs a line to the mast as it goes down, hoping to swing across. Hey, it works in the movies.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks up as Ariel swings across onto their boat.
<DeathStar> <John> That whelp just ...boarded us!
* Drasek` moves over to the edge of the ship and glances over, and does the same as Ariel, holding onto his whore.
<Ariel> "...hmm. What'cha know. It actually works."
<KingChad> <Dias> ...Oh bloody hell. 6He draws his daggers.
* Megumi wobbles on the railing and hurtles her sword at the other ship, creating a ledge, leaps.
* Angela holds onto Drasek, wide eyed as they land.
<Angela> "S-So heroic, I think I'm in love!"
<DeathStar> 6* John taps his head. "That's not even bloody possible! The angle was all wrong."
<KingChad> <Dias> And the one that called you a butt lord just stabbed our glorious ship.
* Drasek` snorts and holds his hands out wide. "You're right mate. That was ridonkulus."
<DeathStar> <John> I hate tiny male midgets.
<KingChad> <Dias> ALL HANDS ON DECK!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien somehow gets across using a jump and a flail. He hangs onto the side of the ship
<DeathStar> 6* The pirates begin to climb onto deck.
* Megumi springs, grabs the hilt and yanks it upward with her as she lands on her feet. 1"Y'son of a bitch, I'm a woman!"
<DeathStar> <John> Seriously? ... I don't see any female like qualiities.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos pulls Darien up, apparently moving over all quiet-like.
<DeathStar> <John> What say you, Pirate Lord Dias?
<Megumi> Probably 'cause I was raised a pirate!
<DeathStar> <John> Yes, but you should at least have boobies. 6* He motions.
<Ariel> "...I want to stab the lot of you right now."
* Megumi hacks at part of the pirate ship railing, breaks off a piece and kicks it at John
<KingChad> <Dias> I have to agree Pirate Lord John.
<DeathStar> <John> Stab us? You be the ones who came here calling us Butt Pirates.
<DeathStar> 6* John swaggerly steps aside.
<Drasek`> Correction, mate. She did. We're all innocent.
<KingChad> <Dias> And ruined a nice game of poker. I was winning. 6He hops off the railing.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to Xan. "Thanks."
* Ariel points at Megumi, "She called you a butt pirate, and butt lord. You blew up our ship."
<KingChad> <Dias> Fair trade.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, we be pirates, mate. What did you think we would do.
<Megumi> I have t'admit, by pirate standards, that's pretty fair.
<KingChad> <Dias> Plus we couldn't have taken it, it was rather dinky.
<Ariel> "Maybe I should let you keep her. Wouldn't THAT be fair?"
<DeathStar> <John> Much too small. Size matters.
<Megumi> Lordy!?
<DeathStar> 6* John considers, looking at Dias.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos nods once and holds his hand onto his cutlass' he eyes Dias, narrowing his eyes at that. "It's not the size."
<DeathStar> <John> Want her?
<Ariel> "I'd give them a day and a half before she drives them to suicide."
<KingChad> 6Dias eyes Megumi than slides over to her, sizing her up.
<DeathStar> <Darien> An evil tactic.
* Angela holds onto her master, more eagerly then before.
* Drasek` smiles. "Seems like ol Ariel keeps her around for a reason."
<Megumi> That's not fair. Y'said you'd make sure I was th'first lady knight!
<DeathStar> <Darien> He lied.
* Ariel pauses, "...I said that?"
<KingChad> 6Dias grabs Megumi's arm and lifts it, studying something
* Megumi recoils, sneering at Dias.
<Drasek`> Everyone knows that women can't be knights. *he snorts with laughter*
<KingChad> 6Dias he than grabs her ass, testing it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It is a man's world.
* Megumi growls at Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* John swaggers about as Dias examines.
* Megumi leaps forward and turns, yanking the giant sword around at Dias. 1"Get away from me!"
<DeathStar> <John> We could make you the first female lady pirate lord. *pause* Or not.
<KingChad> <Dias> Fiery, I may be smitten Pirate Lord John.
<DeathStar> 6* John nods. "Then we shall take the underdeveloped, annoyingly loud female midget."
<DeathStar> 6* John waves his hand. "The rest of you are free to go."
<KingChad> <Dias> We'll also take the whore and all your posessions.
* Megumi begins trying to yank her sword out of the deck. 1"...Stuck..."
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <John> Nice. That's why he's a pirate, gentlemen.
* Drasek` points. "WHOA WHOA. This is MY whore. I earned her fair and square."
* Angela gasps and clings to Drasek's arm. "N-Not again!"
<DeathStar> 6* All the pirates go YAAAAR!
<KingChad> <Dias> And we're taking her, fair and pirate square. 6He waves his hand about
* Ariel draws her blade. "Oh, screw it. Let's just behead them and get this over with."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "Why does this always end with Lord Ariel bargaining away a woman?"
<Megumi> I'm not property!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out a sword.
* Megumi yanks her sword out of the deck finally. 1"I'm with Lordy's plan!"
* Drasek` holds his hand out wide. "Come and get her, mate."
<Angela> "I am, but I want to stay with my Master." *she hides behind Drasek now*
<DeathStar> <John> Right, mates. We be fighting. Line up one at a time so it's fair and simple and all that
<KingChad> 6Dias backs up, his hands infront of him. 1"Calm down now. Beheading us won't get you anywhere. YOU are on a big pirate ship.
* Megumi points with her left hand to any of the 'normal' pirates.
<DeathStar> 6* The pirates get in line.
<Megumi> Anyone who wants McCormick's special reward come and help 'em!
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos draws his dual cutlass' watching them closely.
<Megumi> Otherwise it's just 'tween us an' 'em!
<DeathStar> 6* John draws his sword. "Mind if I stab your new girl, mate?"
<KingChad> <Dias> She doesn't understand the pirate laws does she? 6He leans in at John.
<DeathStar> <John> 'fraid not.
<KingChad> <Dias> Oi, be my guest. What's another whole to plunder?
<KingChad> NPR: hole
<DeathStar> 6* John nods sagely.
* Ariel looks to Xanatos, "...are they serious about this?"
<DeathStar> 6* John points his sword at Megumi.
<Megumi> I'm not y'fuckin' girl. God I always hated y'two!
* Megumi charges John
<DeathStar> <John> Engard.
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> It would appear so. Use caution.
<KingChad> <Dias> You know us?! 6He tilts his head confused.
<DeathStar> 6* A pirate moves up to attack each of them one at a time.
<KingChad> <Dias> Well we are Pirate Lords.
<DeathStar> <John> Everyone be knowing us, Lord Dias.
* Drasek` fights his pirate, protecting his whore.
<DeathStar> 6* John stands his ground, not even in a proper stance.
* Megumi throws the big sword at him, apparently not against fighting unarmed.
<DeathStar> 6* John sways to the side, as if he's drunk. The sword misses.
<DeathStar> <John> That be your best shot!?
<Megumi> No. I fight best actually drunk.
* Ariel sighs as she gets to deal with a no name pirate. She just stabs him.
<DeathStar> 6* The pirate is stabbed and falls over dead.
<KingChad> <Dias> 'member Pirate Lord John. Just one hole. Too many and I'll get confused.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh no! She stabbed ol' Lucky.
<DeathStar> *He
* Ariel rubs her eyes tiredly, "...next?"
<DeathStar> 6* John stares agast.
<KingChad> <Dias> No, not Lucky!
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos dispatches his pirate, by kicking him overboard.
<DeathStar> <John> Yes, Lucky! He be bleeding to death right there! And he just heard about his new baby girl being born
* Megumi slides a bracer into place and slides low, sending a foot for John's. 1"Why th'fucked we ever call 'em that?"
<KingChad> <Dias> Oi! Not Bicky!
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs a rope that lowers out of nowhere, and is yanked up onto the mast.
<Megumi> Where's Ricky?
* Megumi grabs her sword and hucks it up at the rope.
* Drasek` just seems to be using hand to hand, so he knocks out his pirate with an elbow to the face.
<DeathStar> 6* John watches the rope get cut. He stands on the mast.
<DeathStar> <John> We be losin'!
<KingChad> 6Dias stands on the deck, his arm's crossed. 1"I be seeing that. Yar, we just lost Stan."
* Megumi turns and begins running up the cargo net without using her hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien runs away from his pirate.
<DeathStar> <John> I think it's time for Plan B.
* Ariel takes Lucky's sword. She stabs the next pirate so he falls on top of Lucky.
* Drasek` slams a bottle of rum over the head of the one attacking Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs in relief.
<KingChad> <Dias> Fanta, NO! Wait, I hated Fanta. Bastard cheated me in poker.
<DeathStar> 6* John waits on Megumi.
* Drasek` motions to the case of run behind Darien and turns to go fistfight with more pirates.
* Megumi leaps on top of the mast. 1"...Why're we fightin' up here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly it begins to rain and lightning flashes in the background.
<DeathStar> <John> That be why!
<DeathStar> 6* John swings his sword at Megumi's throat.
<Megumi> Nice.
<KingChad> <Dias> Plan B! YARRR!
<DeathStar> 6* The pirates go YAAAAR and begin to demand parlay.
* Megumi sweeps to the side and jabs her elbow at John's wrist. 1"Taste among th'tasteless!"
* Drasek` pauses and glances up. "Oh bloody hell, I hate the rain."
<DeathStar> 6* John pulls back. He steps along back.
<KingChad> 6Dias finally makes his move and he stamps his foot on a deck board, causing the other end to snap uptowards Darien's face
* Ariel stabs the next pirate to fall on top of the other two. "Alright. New plan. How about you surrender, and we'll take your heads to King Chad with the bodies attached... before there's not enough left to crew this damn ship."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is hit in the nose. "GODDAMMIT!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles back.
* Angela peeks out from behind her master.
<KingChad> <Dias> Yar I have to disagree, we still be having plan C left over. 6He laughs and moves over to a rope tied to the railing and cuts it, he suddenly jerks upwards.
* Megumi inches forward ably, maybe she was raised on a ship. She rummages around in a satchel behind her. 1"C'mon John..."
* Ariel throws Lucky's sword at Dias' rope
* Drasek` drops a pirate by Angela, kicking him in the side.
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head. "What the hell is that?" 6* He points behind Megumi.
* Angela cheers her master on.
<KingChad> <Dias> Oi...This is gonna hurt. 6The rope get's cut and Dias goes flying towards Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Water washes up over the sides of the deck, sliding bodies about.
* Ariel gets a new sword from Unnamed Pirate B
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sneezes out blood. "Owie."
* Megumi tilts her head slightly at John, then leaps up again, into the crow's nest.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, this won't be ending well for the lass.
<DeathStar> 6* The crow's nest, apparantly broken or somewhat, shatters, sending Megumi and pieces falling
<KingChad> 6Dias slams into the mast and bounces off it, flying across the ship now
<Megumi> ...Oh heeeeeelllll
<DeathStar> <John> Plan C worked!
* Ariel moves to catch Megumi if she can't find anything to brace herself.
* Megumi reaches up and snaps her weapon upward. A whip. She coils it around the mast and hangs there.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos cuts a line and swings forward, arm out to catch Megumi.
<KingChad> 6Dias grabs onto a rope and jerks, coming swinging fully around and he lands precariously next to John. 1"Yar plan C worked."
<DeathStar> <John> ... *eyes the hanging Megumi and swinging Xanatos*
* Megumi stares between Ariel and Xanatos. 1"...Where th'hell are all these swingin' ropes comin' from?"
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos apparently doesn't catch Megumi and swings by to the other side, shaking his head.
<DeathStar> <John> We installed over 100 ropes for epic battles.
<KingChad> <Dias> We got them for a special price. We stole them.
<Megumi> ...Seriously. Y'guys need t'get out more.
<DeathStar> <John> Yarr harr harr
<DeathStar> 6* John doesn't take the moment to stab the hanging Megumi.
* Megumi swings her legs and gains momentum to eventually go around and land back on the mast, coiling her whip up.
* Ariel sheaths her blade, and cuts a rope free to ride up the mast.
<DeathStar> 6* John swaggers and bows. "Welcome back, underdeveloped midget."
<KingChad> 6Dias looks past John at Megumi. 1"Oi, looks like my sweet heart came back.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up. "Sure, lets ALL FIGHT IN THE SKY."
* Megumi grinds her teeth, then with Ariel on a rope, kicks her in the armor toward the two.
<Megumi> Secret weapon, go!
<DeathStar> 6* John stares. "Wait, secret weapon is the Knight himself?"
<KingChad> 6Dias leans over and swings at a rope, causing a sandbag to drop on Dariens' head
<DeathStar> 6* Darien oufs and is sandbagged.
<DeathStar> 6* John flips out of the way of Ariel.
<Drasek`> Don't worry mate. I'm having too much fun fighting the no names. *he says to Darien, unaware of him being sandbagged*
* Megumi whips the rope Ariel's on and yanks it back toward John
<KingChad> 6Dias drops onto the mast grabbing tightly and swinging over.
* Ariel swings around to kick John
<DeathStar> 6* John steps to the side and cuts Ariel's rope. "This is where you fall, mate."
* Megumi snaps the whip out and around Ariel's wrist, crouching and straining to yank her around and back up.
<KingChad> 6Dias climbs back onto the mast and stands up. 1"Nice delivery mate.
<Megumi> Some secret weapon y'are...
<DeathStar> <John> Thank you. 6* He bows.
<DeathStar> 6* John cuts the whip.
<DeathStar> <John> Whiplash!
<Megumi> H-Hey!
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos taps Dias on the ankle and jerks to pull him off the mast, sending him falling towards the deck if he does slip.
* Ariel doesn't question where Megumi gets that strength, and continues at John after the whip is cut
<KingChad> <Dias> Whiplash? 6He stops moving, standing now, then suddenly goes flying over the mast.
<Megumi> That was one of ah kind, damn it!
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up his sword at ARiel.
<DeathStar> <John> I always waited to be fighting a handsome Knight.
<DeathStar> *wanted
* Megumi stares, goes silent and backs off from the two.
<KingChad> 6Something suddenly jerks on Xan's leg.
* Ariel lands on the mast, holding the cutlas on one hand. "...then why did you become a pirate?"
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos pauses and glances down.
<DeathStar> <John> Because I love the sea!
<KingChad> <Dias> Thanks mate, had you not been there, I coulda been hurt. 6He salutes Xan as he hangs from the guys ankle
<DeathStar> 6* John puts a hand to his heart. The ocean is a wild turblance of a mess in the background as it storms
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos makes a face and kicks his foot, trying to knock Dias off.
<Drasek`> I think it's because you love the sea men, mate. Har har har! *he holds his gut as he laughs*
* Angela continues to cheer on her master as he battles the NPCs.
<DeathStar> 6* John sighs and rolls his eyes.
<KingChad> 6Dias twists, letting the leg miss. He than grabs onto Xan's pants, pulling them down.
<Ariel> "Then lets put a wager on this. If you can beat me, you and your fellow pirate lord surrender."
<KingChad> <Dias> Talk about a full moon.
<DeathStar> <John> Done!
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses. "Wait."
* Ariel salutes John with the blade, then takes her stance. "Done deal."
* Megumi points, cracking up.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos sighs and just swipes his cutlass out with his free hand, Dias will have to release or he'll be cut pretty badly.
<DeathStar> 6* John takes his stance. He swings at Ariel, missing by a foot.
<Ariel> "...oh, come on John. You can do better than that."
<KingChad> 6Dias let's go and falls for a bit than grabs onto a rope, sliding down it to a lower mast
<DeathStar> <John> A-hahahah...ha...Parlay? You win?
<DeathStar> 6* John shrugs.
* Drasek` drops a crate onto Dias' head when he lands.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos attempts to get his pants back up while slowly climbing down.
<Ariel> "Ah, no. I think I conceeded defeat first."
<KingChad> 6Dias looks up at John. 1"Pirate Lord John. 6He suddenly slips and falls, his leg getting caught on the some rope below the mast.
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head. "I totally give up before you."
<KingChad> <Dias> PLAN Z!
<Megumi> I witnessed it. She gave first.
* Drasek` misses and hits poor Steve. "Huh. Fancy that."
<DeathStar> <John> ... Plan Z, mate?
<DeathStar> 6* He looks down.
<KingChad> <Dias> Aye mate. Plan Z.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, right, Plan Z.
* Ariel drops the sword over the side. "See? I'm defeated. You surrender. You gave your word as a pirate lord."
<DeathStar> <John> You're rate, mate. I surrender. But unfortunately....Plan Z isn't me.
<KingChad> 6Dias swings upside down from the lower mast.
<DeathStar> 6* John sheathes his sword and shrugs helplessly. A Kraken rises from the ocean, it's tentacles reaching out around the ship.
<Drasek`> OH bloody fuck. *he sighs*
<DeathStar> <John> What can I be sayin'. We be pirates!
<Megumi> ...That's a pirate-eater.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wakes up and screams as an eye looks at him
<DeathStar> <John> It ain't picky, mate.
<DeathStar> 6* A tentacle wraps around Megumi.
* Megumi shrieks like a little girl for a change.
* Angela stares and hides behind Drasek more.
<Ariel> "...you're making me want to detach your OTHER head from your body, and feed it to the ocean."
<DeathStar> <John> Now that's just low!
<Megumi> Ew, ew, ew, ew!
<KingChad> <Dias> Zeraphna will eat anything. 6He cuts the rope that was holding him up and falls, hitting the lowest mast and then lands on the deck with a thud
* Megumi flails. 1"I hate squid!"
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs a rope. "You will remember this day, Knight Ariel, as the day you almost caught Pirate McCormick!"
<DeathStar> 6* He cuts it and swings away.
<DeathStar> 6* The Kraken draws Megumi in toward his mouth
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos arches a brow at the Kraken, holding his cutlass' out wide.
<KingChad> 6Dias stands up slowly, stumbling backwards towards the rail.
* Ariel cuts the rope with a sigh.
* Megumi flails more, freaking. 1"YAAAAAaaaaaaaghhhhhhhh!"
<DeathStar> 6* John flails and crashes into the coean
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans and grabs Megumi's arm.
* Drasek` throws a bottle of rum toward's one of the Kraken's eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* The Kraken grabs Drasek's whore with a tentacle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides along, holding on. "This isn't...working..."
<Drasek`> No! MY WHORE! *he leaps and karate chops his arm down, a blade extending out to cut the tentacle.*
<KingChad> <Dias> ALL HANDS ABANDON SHIP! 6He hops onto the railing.
<DeathStar> 6* The pirates begin to leap off.
* Ariel cuts the yardarm free of the mast to land on the kraken, and holds on tightly to the mast so she doesn't fall to her doom.
* Megumi stares at her sword as she slides past the deck. She grabs its hilt since it's stuck in the deck.
<DeathStar> 6* The tentacle is cut. Sadly, Megumi is eaten. Darien lets go. "Oh well."
<Megumi> Squid, squid, squid, squid..
<DeathStar> 6* He dives as the mast hits the Kraken.
* Angela cries out and grabs onto Drasek as she's cut loose. "My master!"
<Drasek`> We're definitely trying that butt thing out later. *he says with a deep breath*
<KingChad> <Dias> It was a pleasure meeting you all. 6He bows awkwardly as he balances on the rail
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos pulls out a dagger and throws it at Dias.
<KingChad> 6Dias freaks out and is hit, he topples over the railing and falls into the water below
<DeathStar> 6* The Kraken retreats into the ocean after being masted.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos straitens up and glances around. "...you broke the mast of my new ship."
* Ariel slides down one of the remaining ropes and quickly looks to the side of the ship for Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks over the ocean.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. Megumi's dead. .... I won't miss her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods slowly. "Anyone else have anything to add?"
<Ariel> "Megumi..."
<Drasek`> She was an annoying git.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *sniffs* Do you smell gunpowder?
<Drasek`> ....maybe. *he glances around*
<Ariel> "......" *watches the water*
<Angela> "Ummm... what's gunpowder smell like?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers about.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire ship is on fire from burning gunpowder behind them
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... ... I hate pirates.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos pauses and sighs. "...abandon ship."
<Angela> "To what?" *she holds onto Drasek*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Skull Island.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dives overboard.
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Make for the pirate fortress. *he jumps overboard*
* Ariel jumps over.
* Drasek` drapes his whore over his shoulder and holds his nose, jumping overboard.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Skull Island
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits on the beach, eyeing the burning ship. John shrugs.
<DeathStar> <John> Okay, maybe Plan Z sucked.
<DeathStar> 6* Also, sadly, Megumi can be seen, covered in squid.
<KingChad> <Dias> Aye, plan Z sucked.
<DeathStar> <John> Is there a letter after Z?
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> You burned the only means of escape. *he notes with a hushed anger*
* Megumi spazzes totally, clutching her oversized sword. 1"..."
<KingChad> <Dias> We can make one.
<DeathStar> <John> Hm. What shall it be?
<KingChad> Ni?
<KingChad> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> <John> Right. Plan Ni.
<Ariel> "...you are lucky she lived, or your entrails would be making the rigging of the ship carrying us home." *sword pointed at John. She doesn't sound angry... her voice is flat*
* Angela sighs a bit, completely revelaed in the now soaking white shirt, her undergarments outlined.
<KingChad> <Dias> We are pirates.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up his hands. "'tis true. And if you kill us, we can't tell you Plan Ni."
<Ariel> "If you're dead, there is no plan ni."
<KingChad> <Dias> He be right. Plan Ni is very very important.
<DeathStar> <John> And without Plan Ni, there is no escape.
<DeathStar> 6* John wiggles his eyebrows.
<KingChad> <Dias> And no escape means we all be staying here for a very long time.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *holds his nose* I say we just kill them and make our plan Ni.
<Drasek`> I think Plan Ni is that we sit here and wait for another ship to come 'bouts.
* Megumi spazzes again and suddenly exclaims something nonsensical. 1"...Squids. ...Tentacles." 6Shiver.
<DeathStar> <John> *snorts* You wish
<KingChad> <Dias> Thar be no ships coming through these parts
<Drasek`> Wait. I have a good plan Ni. Can I borrow your Kraken?
<DeathStar> <John> She killed it.
<DeathStar> <John> Poor Zeraphna.
<Drasek`> YOU KILLED IT!? *he throws up his hands* Now what were we going to ride home on!?
* Ariel moves close to John. "I have a plan."
<KingChad> <Dias> I grew Zeraphna up since she was a wee Kraken.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Ariel. "You swing that way?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> *groans*
* Angela rolls her eyes and takes shelter against Drasek.
* Ariel moves closer, and puts an arm around him. "You know what I think...?"
<DeathStar> <John> W-What?
<KingChad> <Dias> Oh she got her arm's around you.
<Drasek`> NRP: HE!
<KingChad> NRP: He sorry
* Ariel presses something hard and cold... and very sharp, against his groin. Tightening the arm around his neck. "I think you should get us off this island, and into Chad's dungeon, before you truely regret it."
<DeathStar> <John> See? Plan Ni. 6* He waves his hands.
<DeathStar> 6* John swallows.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos seems to have walked off and is walking back drinking from a coconut.
<KingChad> 6Dias gulps himself.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: King Chad's Dungeon
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone is now behind bars. Including our heroes.
<DeathStar> <John> You did say get us into the dungeon.
<KingChad> <Dias> And we are pirates.
<Ariel> "...how... you managed to..."
<DeathStar> <John> Anything be possible for pirates, Ex-Knight.
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Irratating. Aren't they?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bangs his head on the bars. "You just had to tell the King we came here on sea turtles.":
<KingChad> <Dias> It been lonely without our closest friends.
<DeathStar> 6* John swaggers over and puts an arm around Ariel. "Now, that I be keeping my end of the bargain..."
<Drasek`> So I get why i'm in here. Being Villian number 1 and all. But getting Ariel in here. Nice. *he gives Dias and John a nod*
* Angela rests against Drasek, they've been using the time in the dungeon to celebrate surviving the Kracken.
<KingChad> <Dias> Oi, that's what pirates do best.
<Megumi> ...
<Megumi> I want to see Lady Zephyr.
<Ariel> "...and what are you expecting of me?"
* Megumi sighs glumly in a corner.
* Drasek` pats Angela on the head. "Good whore." He winks at her.
<KingChad> 6Dias stretches and puts his arm around Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* John gives her his famous McCormick smile.
* Angela blushes and rests her head against him. "My master..."
<Megumi> ...Get your... arm off me... before I break it..
<KingChad> <Dias> That's now how you speak to a Pirate Lord.
<KingChad> NRP: not
<DeathStar> <John> Well, since we be being here for a long time, I be imagining, perhaps we should get to know one another better.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bangs his head harder on the bars.
<Megumi> ...I called th'other one a butt pirate, why wouldn't I speak t'you how I damn well please?
<Ariel> "...there's probally a Juan or something around here."
<DeathStar> <John> *tosses his hat down* I am not a butt pirate!
* Megumi eyes Dias' arm, few things while she's in a cell keeping her from following through on her words.
<KingChad> <Dias> Yar be a feisty lass. I like that in a woman.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos sits in the corner, head rested back against the wall.
<KingChad> 6Dias suddenly ooohs. 1"Yar, now you've done it again. 6He steps back from Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* John points at Megumi. "Bring it on!"
<Drasek`> Hey, bein a butt pirate aint so bad. S'long as the butt is on a girl. Eh?
<DeathStar> <John> I know, right, mate? YAr har har
<DeathStar> 6* John slaps Drasek on the back.
<KingChad> <Dias> YAR!
<DeathStar> <John> *pulls out some keys* Well, we got to be goin now.
* Megumi stands up slowly, an oddly cold look in her. She cracks her knuckles in both palms and stands across.
* Ariel grabs John's wrist, and twists.
<DeathStar> 6* John aiiiyes and drops the keys.
<KingChad> <Dias> Yar, our escape!
* Drasek` just laughs and stands up, dusting himself off. "Oh look keys." He bends over and picks them up.
* Ariel takes the keys.
* Drasek` pauses and sighs when Ariel gets them.
<KingChad> <Dias> That not be very knightly of you.
<DeathStar> <John> Aye.
<KingChad> <Dias> Infact, that be very piratey of you.
* Megumi walks over slowly, tapping John on the shoulder.
<DeathStar> <John> Very.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at Megumi. "Yes, lass?"
* Megumi swings.
<DeathStar> 6* John ducks and trips Megumi.
<DeathStar> <John> Yar har har
<KingChad> 6Dias suddenly wipes something from his eye. 1"I be proud. 6He moves over and hugs Ariel. 1"Tis a fine day. You be a pirate now, one of us."
* Megumi rolls and twists, throwing a handful of grit at him.
* Ariel keeps a firm grasp on the keys. "...let go."
<DeathStar> 6* John stares at his clothes.
<DeathStar> <John> You threw grit at me...
<Drasek`> What the fuck is grit?
<DeathStar> <John> Whatever she threw at me!
<KingChad> 6Dias let's go. 1"You've made us proud."
<Drasek`> Maybe it's like shit?
<Ariel> "...right. You two pirate lords can enjoy your prison sex. The rest of us are leaving."
<DeathStar> <John> And be fugitives?
<KingChad> <Dias> Yar, fugitives.
<DeathStar> <John> Without us?
<KingChad> <Dias> We'll call out guards.
<Megumi> Anywhere without these two is fine.
<KingChad> <Dias> And I can be quite the screamer. 6He winks at Megumi
<DeathStar> <Voice> Escaping already? I should expect nothing less from the Knight Ariel.
* Megumi facepalms. 1"I think I jumped ship last time."
<KingChad> 6Dias suddenly shifts, leaning against the back wall, looking innocently
* Ariel turns to the voice, feeling less than humored.
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos straitens up, leaning forward to look toward the Voice.
<DeathStar> 6* Lady Zephyr looks somewhat amused. "The King has another assignment for you to redeem yourselves and marry the Princess."
* Megumi throws her hands up. 1"Thank god, it's Lady Zephyr!"
* Angela tilts her head and sighs, resting against her master again.
<Megumi> Merciful angel...
<Drasek`> That include me, luv? *he tilts his head*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Here we go again.
<KingChad> 6Dias glances over at the Lady Zephyr than suddenly whistles and moves over to the cell doors. 1"'alo there luv."
<DeathStar> <Lady Zephyr> All of you. He seems to think the pirates are needed as well.
* Megumi throws her foot at Dias.
* Ariel sighs, "Technically, I did what he asked that time." She pauses. "...they what?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> *throws up his hand* Does he add every ex-villain to this group?
<Drasek`> <Xanatos> Excellent. *he stands now, dusting himself off, though he's covered in dirt anyway*
<KingChad> 6Dias pushes away from the railing, letting the leg go by. She'd suddenly find it tied to one of the bars.
<Megumi> Wh-What the hell..
<Drasek`> The Villian's are the ones that get the job done, mate.
<KingChad> <Dias> Pirate mate. 6He winks at Megumi
<DeathStar> <Lady Zephyr> I'll take you all to the King in the morning. He seems to think a night in the cell is required. 6* she bows. "See you at first light."
<DeathStar>
<DeathStar> 6* She walks off, waving
<DeathStar> 6* John puts an arm around Ariel. "Well, it seems we're best buds now."
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos frowns and sits back down.
<Megumi> L-Lady Zephyr! I beg mercy!
<KingChad> <Dias> eh Pirate Lord John. Did ya see how the lass looked me up and down?
<Drasek`> Oh stuff it. *he says to Megumi, sitting down*
* Ariel fumbles with the keys to unlock the door.
<DeathStar> <John> Is-Is the Knight running from her mission?
<DeathStar> 6* John stares, his mouth dropped.
<KingChad> <Dias> She'd go against the King!? 6He acts shocked as if that's a horrible thing to do
<KingChad> NRP: HE'd!
<Drasek`> She's probably just wanting away from you lot. *he motions*
<Drasek`> NRP: LOL HE's!
* Ariel opens the door and slips outside, closing it quickly behind her.
<DeathStar> 6* John stares.
<DeathStar> <John> ... nice.
<Megumi> ...Lordy, y'leavin' me too?
<Angela> "Hey... she's leaving us in here."
<KingChad> <Dias> He truely be a pirate.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien laughs his ass off at Megumi
<Drasek`> ...did he just leave me...oh right I tried to kill him.
<Ariel> "...alright, fine. Megumi, be quick."
<Angela> * He
* Megumi fumbles with her tied leg. 1"..Um.."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops laughing. "Wait."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs the bars. "Waht about me!?"
* Drasek` grabs his whore and stands up quickly. "You lettin one out, you
* Drasek` grabs his whore and stands up quickly. "You lettin one out, you're lettin us all out."
* Ariel leans close to Darien and whispers something to him.
<KingChad> 6Dias slides up next to Drasek. 1"I be agreeing with the tall thick head here."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares dryly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh god.
<DeathStar> 6* John sighs, then looks at Angela. "Well, me and you. Lets go." 6* He snaps his fingers.
* Megumi finally just grabs the rope and literaly shreds it by pulling it apart.
* Drasek` points at John. "No. My Whore. Get your own."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Give the Princess my best.
* Ariel opens the door and pulls Megumi outside.
* Megumi sighs in relief.
* Angela blushes, looking at John. She then looks at Drasek.
<KingChad> <Dias> We be buds now, and buds be sharing.
<DeathStar> <John> Indeed.
<KingChad> <Dias> Pirate code.
* Drasek` pulls out a dagger out of nowhere. "I'm no pirate. Now back off."
Session Close: Thu Feb 07 00:00:00 2008

* Angela gasps and decides to stick to the man with a knife.
* Megumi twitches at the rest, then looks to Ariel.
<Ariel> "Come on... let's find a more comfortable place to rest." *locks the door with the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bangs his head on the bars.
* Ariel goes and flops down in a cell on the far side of the dungeon.
* Megumi takes ahold of Ariel's arm in an uncharacteristic manner and nods quietly.
<KingChad> <Dias> Now now mate, there's no need to be pulling knifes. 6He lightly grabs Drasek's heand and tries to move it down
<Drasek`> 6* Xanatos watches Ariel with a frown, he stands and moves to the bars. "So He is leaving you along with the whore, pirates and villians?"
* Drasek` just shoves Dias back and leads his whore to the corner. "You two stay over there and we won't have any problems."
<DeathStar> 6* And so, after escaping, Ariel fell asleep, waking up in her own bed in Darien's mansion. But is this story really over?
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED?-
