The Pirate's Code II: Good Fortune [Day 1]

[sinera]

Yarr! I agrees wi' the Cap'n - Aiden's the shiftiest blaggart I've e'er seen!

[Aiden]

"Guess I am the type who is just born looking guilty...you all should know what domain of sin I like to reign over..."
Smirking, he picked up a new bottle of rum and popped the cork before taking a swig and retreating below deck.

Arr..I be agreeing wth the Captain.  Walk the plank Aiden!

[Saku]

Saku nods and goes with Aiden since everyone seems so sure that he is one of the Mutineers.

[Josietta]

Pirate Josi shakes her head and goes off to drown her sorrows in rum.

The tide turned against the hapless Aiden, the crew slowly becoming convinced of his guilt through some dark suspicion.  He protested his innocence, but his accusers would not be swayed.  Together they wrestled him to the bow of the ship, that he might face the terrible death of keelhauling.

As he was bound and sent on his awful journey through the water, a wickedly sharp dagger fell from his belt onto the deck -- a dagger stained with the blood of their former captain!  For Aiden was indeed a Mutineer, hoping to take the ship for his own.

[LadySky]

I knew it! Now lets get hammered!

[Transgirlenstein]

Good job LadySky!  *gives her a big kiss and a swig of rum*

[Marguerite]

Son of Davy Jones', I was right in my guesses and plus Aiden always seems like he is up to no good.

[Ryven]

Arrrrgh!  I knew it to be true!

[Valerian]

As night fell, the crew's hearts were somewhat lighter, though no one dared to rejoice too strongly just yet, and more than a few suspicious glances were exchanged.  For no mutineer would act alone; Aiden must have had accomplices on board.

And the next day proved that was true.  As the sun broke over the horizon, its first rays fell on another corpse -- that of their new captain, Marguerite, cruelly slain in the dark of night, no doubt in revenge for the Mutineer she had helped to catch.  Now there was still less reason to rejoice, for Marguerite had been a Pirate true, loyal to the ship and the code.

And it's time for another captain.  Vote early, vote often.  ;)

[Ryven]

Ryven faceplants on the deck from perhaps a bit too much rum.  He pulls himself up to hear the news that their new beloved Captain had been killed.

"Argh!  Say it not be so!  Our poor captain, slain in the night by a couple of scabrous dogs!  I say LadySky will avenge poor Marg and bring a good name to the Fortune once more!"

[Kip]

"Shiver me timbers!  I ne'ver want to be a Capt'n if that's how ye treat 'em.  Let Sinera take tha tainted role."

[LadySky]

I vote Ryven Cap'n.

[CirclMastr]

"QueenTrippingSerpent be the one ta rid the ship o' 'er carrrsed mutineers!"

"Aye! Ladysky's a good choice, fer cap'n!"

[sinera]

Yarr! This be turrible news in'struth! But I think LadySky t'be our best bet t'get what we're after!

[Transgirlenstein]

What?  Why would we choose Lady Sky?  She has proven herself to be a true member, helping to find one of the mutineers.  I say it is Ryven who is the mutineer.  Why would Lady Sky vote to kill one of her own men?

[Josietta]

*whispers to Trip* we're voting on a new cap'n

[Transgirlenstein]

*blinks*

....

*turns red*


...It's the rum and the sun, I swear!  Lady Sky for captain!

[Ryven]

*frowns*  :-(

[Saku]

I think... Kip would make a good captain! He's done it before :)

There are 2 Mutineers, 1 Ship's Cook, 1 Ship's Surgeon, and 4 Pirates.

And so, willingly or not, LadySky was acclaimed the new captain.  They were still at least six days from safe port, but the ship was limping along as fast as it could.  The crew still had other, even more pressing things to worry about.

Now the new captain had the unenviable task of presiding over the next lynching, and could only hope that they would again succeed in killing one of the miscreants.
