AHOY ME MATIES, AND SHIVER ME TIMBERS, IT'S TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!!!

Coffeebar Brawl Leaves Bilge Rats Bungled
A peaceful afternoon at th' Common Grounds Coffeehouse in Sector 2 turned into a right skirmish yesterday, when four patrons were suddenly driven madder than a peg-legged dog on a holey deck. Witnesses report that th' customers began mutterin' nothins 'n then engaged one another in a burly brawl in which no table, dish nor cuppa black swill was spared!
Police arrived 'n arrested th' four scurvy dogs, three men 'n a woman, after a good beatin'. Investigation revealed that th' scalawags were th' victims 'o drinkin' libations tainted wit' some type 'o wicked drug. Police have not revealed what sort of drug it be, or any details on how it may have found its way into th' suspects' libations pendin' further investigation.
Neutral Hockey Team Announces Name and Mascot: The Portside Puckaneers
“I’ve always liked Pirates.” a very jovial team owner Herms told reporters in Lion’s Gate early this morning before hitting a virtual golf outing at Zipz Arrrcade. “Yes, I forsee it going over well with the fans, following the success of the Lumberjacks and Howlers, who open next week.” Getting into the spirit of things, ‘Captain’ Herms was seen donning a hat with skull and crossbones, waving a cutlass as he stepped into a limo. “Er...Avast! AGI and SERO’ll be hoisting their white flags, landlubbers, so remember to show your Portside Pride!”
Mutiny on the Bus Route
There was a traffic accident last night in Sector Five. Sara Gawahir, a bus driver in Siren's Port for the last ten years, was shoved out of her vehicle by a rowdy passenger. Gawahir's power immediately kicked in, causing her to curl into a boulder in the middle of a busy intersection as the bus careened into a building.
Several were injured in the accident but all are expected to make a full recovery and damage to the bus was minimal. Gawahir's assailant has not been identified but she doesn't believe he was trying to kill her.
"He yelled 'Let's rock, baby!' as he shoved me," she says. "He knew what my power was... But I don't think he was as funny as he thought himself to be."
Gawahir intends to return to her route as soon as possible.
