[LUCETI, HO FARE THEE ON THE HIGH SEAS TODAY? Because Melaka the Sailor is having a grand ol time. Aboard her mighty ship she is bound to islands and countries unknown in search of fame and fortune to make a good name for herself now that she has discovered that this is the true route to making your dreams happen! And she is doing this

Hallo, Slayer. [Wow. Just when Jack thought that behavior could not get weirder.]

You're not doin' it properly, you know. You need a sail to be a pirate. Otherwise you're just a bloody Viking, and that never did anyone any good.

[lists_to_port]

[Well no one was keeping you out there, Melaka. If you're captain you don't take orders from crew, and if you're crew you don't take on command. Eventually the man reappears with the necessities.]

Going to have to rig this up, aren't we.

[neoslaying]

That's tape- right? [And she'll take the tape now, as well as the broom. she actually gets off the "ship" to do this, trying to set it in place at the base of the wagon]

[lists_to_port]

Sticky stuff. Works wonders! Does anything! [Jack actually stands back so he can see how she sorts this out.]

[neoslaying]

[...Hm.

Well then. She'll just get to jabbing the broom handle into the wagon and wrapping the tape around]

[lists_to_port]

[This strategy makes a lot of sense, actually.]

And where shall you mount the cannons?

[neoslaying]

Prob on the sides, right? Maybe 'round the edges.

[lists_to_port]

Aye, possibly that'd work. They're just heavy things, are cannons; wouldn't want to see your vessel keel over.

[neoslaying]

[...] Sure we can find some light or small cannons.

[lists_to_port]

Might have more luck with a trebuchet, actually: less chance of you exploding in flames. Need a hand?

[neoslaying]

[The tape is set and she thinks the broom is in place so she shakes her head.

But then she lets go of the boom's handle, causing it to topple over a bit]

...Guess so.

[lists_to_port]

You hold it steady, I'll tape?

[Jack climbs up to see what he can do.]

[neoslaying]

[Nods. okay, she holds it steady.]

Maybe we oughta wrap it 'round the bottom?

[lists_to_port]

Good thinking, lass.

[Jack will do his best to secure it while she holds it. It's not going to be perfect, and it might not take much to knock it over, but it's not so bad by the time he finishes.]

There. That's actually quite shipshape, that is!

[neoslaying]

Yeah! Actually looks pretty rocksetship to me.

[She pokes it, gingerly. Doesn't fall over so...]

Let's hang that sail.

[lists_to_port]

Hoist. Hoist the sails. Sails are hoisted, pirates are hanged, and let's all have a merry Christmas, eh?

[Out furls the tablecloth! More duct tape is in order, probably, to secure it to the mast. It's flapping in the wind and white and it has very nice scalloped edging to it. Not bad for a disposable tablecloth.]
