...and really bad eggs.

Remember how there was a pirate ship in the main room earlier this year?

Well, now it's on a much more sensible day and is ostensibly replacing open posts for the various older characters that are being dragged into it by a certain miniature pirate. Captain Jack Sparrow Junior at your service, mates, with a ship that looks much better than the

And Sisyphus will walk by and blink. "What on earth?"

"It's our ship!" Amber grins at him. "I mean-- arrrr, it's our ship. Ain't it grand? 's got an engine room an' everything."

[hades_nerd]

"Oh. That's... interesting."

[yuelian]

"Don't you want t' join us? I'm sure the Captains won't mind another crew member."

Henry not Henrietta, for this post, at least, being far too sensible and dignified to play at being pirates (but not quite sensible enough to play along), pauses as he walks through the main room to look askance at the pirate ship therein.

'What is this?'

Here, have the rough-mouthed and aforementioned Demosthenes, who will probably shock Henry with his shortness modern behavior. "What the hell does it look like?" Demosthenes rolls his eyes, before he's sharply jabbed in the leg by TROUBLE. "Ow! Christ, okay-- What I meant was, what does it look like, ye landlubber?" Yes, it really is as ridiculous as he sounds. He hasn't quite phased out the swear words and picked up on the pirate lingo yet.

Henry, who is the king (sometimes queen) of late tagging, frowns, speaking in a rather prim tone. 'It looks as though you have sailed a ship into the center of the room, which is hardly the right place for a ship.'

Here, then, is a William Turner wandering by, tilting his hat, and looking very amused. "Permission t' board, Cap'n?"

[halfpintofrum]

"Aye, per'aps, but do ye have th' black-heartedness and-- and--" ('DEPRAVITY', TROUBLE supplies helpfully) "--and de-- dep-- wanting-t'do-bad-things-ness t' be a proper pirate? 'Cause we don't have any room for lily-livered crew." Here's a face that's meant to be properly threatening.

[dreadpiratejr]

"Of course I do, cap'n." He looks almost offended, but he's really amused. "I've never been lily-livered in me life."

[halfpintofrum]

"Arrrr, that be good news! 'cause we've got th' best an' most sea-worthy ship there everever was, and-- it's-- 's shiny! An' you, me matey, can be on th' crew, 'f you swear 'llegiance only to me -- and TROUBLE, 'f course, she's co-Captain -- but only while you're on this ship, 'cause I know you've got your own t' take care of."

*will not join in herself, but will stop by the doorway to look in, confused* Guaiguai lóng de dong?

[yuelian]

*solemnly* We're bein' pirates.

[starscrashround]

As if you're not one enough of the time as it is?

[yuelian]

Well, I ain't the sort of pirate that he is, an' that's what we're pretendin' to be. Mostly. *gestures in the general direction of ickle!Jack* Did you know that the pirates on The Earth That Was sailed on water?

[therainbowsheep]

*his first reaction is, of course, to laugh* The hell've you gotten yourself into this time, shrimp?

[werehereitsnow]

*glares* Playing with kids, what the fuck does it look like?

[therainbowsheep]

Since when do you enjoy that? And you're not supposed to use that kind of language in front of small children, though I'm sure you'd be confused about that since people use it in front of you.

Hey, they like me. They made me-- whatever the fuck my title is. And shut up, they know better than to copy bad influences, unlike me.
