Ship’s Ships’ Log Logs: Beyond Museica, Part 1

After the Great Pie War came the rebuilding of Civilization. Now, while landlubbers compose the Chronicles of Museica, a few hardy sea dogs are preparing to sail for unknown territory. They were just getting under way at the end of the Rebuilding Civilization thread. This is their story, if they care or dare to tell it.

Thread closed to posting; continued on Part 2.

Set sail! Our first destination is the Caesar Archipelago, consisting of Dressing Island, Crouton Isle and Lettuce’s Island, in the Eastern Seas. Having taken on supplies there, we will search for new lands. And if any pierates cross our path, we will sink them. Remember, we get half their loot and give the rest to the Museican Government. We will go down the Meringue River from San Dxkosii, then north, round the Icecream Horn(braving treacherous seas and cold temperatures) and due southeast to the Archipelago. Course from there will be decided by vote.

As first mate and navigator, I have several ideas:

To the west, the un-navigated open sea, dotted with islands unknown to us, except for Pie Isle which may or may not exist and is said to be populated with the mysterious Editors

To the south, in search of a new type of Pink Bunny sticker

or to the south-east, on a voyage of war and retribution against Highlights Magazine

SHIP’S LOG
~~AUGUST 8~~

Today I and my crew of one, consisting of Sweet Melpomene, set sail. As I have stated over and over, I hope to travel north (which ever way that is; i hope mel is bringing a compass) to discover the unknown. I have heard tales from other sea dogs of strange things… giant monsters that will sink a ship with pies… sea serpents that lure sailors to their deaths with illusions of delicious delicacies… sirens that recite nursery songs with such vigor that people go crazy…

But those are all tales, right?

A mysterious apparition, known to some as ‘Penty’, materialized out of thin air. Ignoring the spammer, it said in an oddly nasal voice to the General Population: “Go ye, and seek the Writing System. Be not afraid of faliure, for I shall guide thy steps. Or floats. Or whatever motion it is that thou art making. I shall guide thee. Howzzat sound?”

It looked quizzically around at the General Populace, then cleared its mysterious throat and continued. “Right then. Sail west, yea, even beyond the Rising Sun, until you come to the land that is sheltering the System. Move quickly, for it is well-inhabited, and remove texts containing the System from wherever ye do see them, and guard them well, for they are thy Spoils, and they are thy Quest. Make sure to note the capital letters. They’re important.” And with that, the apparition faded away into nothingness. “Zai jian!”

((Yes, I’m aware that the sun rises in the east. It’s plot, dangit, plot. And it does make sense. Read the AMJ thread, post 34 or thereabouts, if you want to know the answer to the riddle and why I just popped up in a thread I’ve never really frequented.))

~~AUGUST 9, still on the same day~~

Heave! Ho!

At last, we have reached the shore of the unknown land.

There is a thick jungle in the middle of the island, and..

wait, are those voices?

oh my jolly blinkin’ aunt.

The inhabitants of this island are erm…

not humanoid.

to be precise, they are rodents. Kind of a cross between a rat-squirrel thing.

hmmm… they seem friendly. but there are so many of them!

They allowed us to pass them and enter the jungle. There, we saw what looked like a catapult in progress, a large bakery from which came the smells of pie, and all around, on trees, on the ground, everywhere, were odd markings. Sometimes, an inhabitant would stop, look at the marking, and continue on. Other rodents would completely alter their course.

Very odd.

They also walked sometimes on four legs, sometimes on two, waving their sleek, fur-covered tails behind them. They are very, very large, too.

I think I shall call them LIRs, Large-Intelligent-Rodents.

I shall continue this log later, I think.

The apparition smiled slightly evilly. It cackled, then looked around as if frightened that someone had seen or heard.

“Is this thing on?” it asked, in true Penty fashion. “Visit the RRR! Stop the first post madness. ‘Life is too important to be taken seriously.’ I’ll write something… someday. Ooh, shiny!” it continued, also in true Penty fashion.

The thing, whatever it was, did not seem to be on, or else the mysterious apparition was misreading the label that said, in nice big letters, “~~Don’t Panic~~ This Thing Is Not On.” Satisfied, it settled down to watch the proceedings.

((Whoops…you were going north? I skimmed and couldn’t find anything about direction, so I just continued with my evil plot. You don’t even have to listen to me, should you think your ideas were better. I’ll just do mysterious things from time to time, that’s all.))

Capt. Bella- I am NOT a “he”!

Am v. v. glad that I was accepted and not thrown overboard off The Sweet Tiramisu. But, then again, you cannot exactly throw the Boian Prime Muser off the ship. It would cause a big incident. The LIRs were v. v. friendly + have new and unusual pie recipe that involves edible glue. v. v. sticky + hard to get off face + hair. I learned this the hard way. Must get revenge on Melpomene.

One of the whipped cream machines on the Tiramisu Pie cannons is faulty. Was fixing it when espresso beans fell on me from other machine. curses. Must check all storerooms on board for better tools + ones not made from pie tins.

after learning that the whipped cream machines were not working properly, i asked the LIRs if they could help us.

They stared at us.

Suddenly, they began to scurry around, and left us. As suddenly as they had left, they returned, carrying with them pie ingredients, sheets of metal, wrenches, hammers, nails, screws, wood, etc. They also gave us a leaf.

Perfect! Well, not the leaf, but the other materials.

After helping Otzi fix the machine (hopefully it will work), I decided to give the LIRs a gift. I gave them…

a leaf.

they were delighted. it was really amazing how happy they were. they began a pie fight, they were so excited. We left before it could get any worse – that edible glue is horrible! I must get the recipie.

Note to Otzi: much sorry!

~~~STILL AUG. 9~~~
As we were finishing the last bits of the pie cannon-painting v. v. cool designs on them, loading them, and standing with them and the LIRs as proof of our venture, I had an idea. A wicked awesome, revengeful idea. I poked a small hole in the edible Glue tank–one i could easily fix, of course– and suggested to Mel that she paint the underside of the cannon. Whilst she was beneath, I began to fill the tank. She came out COMPLETELY covered in the stuff. She looked like Melted Marshmallow Man. I almost peed myself–laughed v. v. hard. She had to spend hours with a sponge and some Krud Kutter to get rid of the stuff, while I patched the leak. Sweet revenge!!!!!

Edible Glue is horrible. I have just spent hours scrubbing edible glue off of myself with a sponge and some Krud Kutter [which, luckily, the LIRs had on hand]. Why? Because there was a hole in the Edible Glue tank. Which I probably would have thought was completely accidental and due to some sort of strange corrosive properties of the Glue, if Otzi had not wrote about INTENTIONALLY SABOTAGING some of our ship’s equipment. First, stowing away; now, this?

Anyway, we’ll be setting sale shortly, and I still have to see if any of the LIRs would like to join our crew. I have a feeling they’ll be useful.

Aug. 10. We are approaching the Icecream Horn. We have landed on Frozen Isle to get our bearings. Frozen Isle is dominated by Pistachio Peak, a large volcano in its center, which periodically erupts into molten ice cream. On its slopes are lush coniferous forests, in which dwell Floobs. (Floobs are small, intelligent, hovering balls of blue fur with beady black eyes.) These forests are filled with hot springs. We have landed on a beach of Rocky Road ice cream.

Today shall be one of the last days we spend with the LIRs – we need to be moving on. After the incident with the edible glue (don’t worry, mel, I’m sure an ACCIDENT will happen some day), I considered leaving Otzi on the island and bringing some LIRs with us, but that would be an infringement on the government – best hope for an ACCIDENT *nudges mel*.

Mel! I have to say i’m glad you’re part of my crew because you COMPLETELY READ MY MIND! Maybe later you or Otzi or both can go and ask the LIRs if they’d like to join us.

Make sure you give them a leaf – that seems to be a positive sign.

and take a look around – maybe the rodents can give us something else that would be useful.

It was in revenge for the giant pie made with the glue. And BLOODY funny. I feel sorry though. I promise I won’t do it again. Can Mel possibly forgive me? She pied me, I..er..glued her. Justice is served. (the pie was about 4. ft. wide and dropped on me from the crow’s nest).

The apparition laughed loudly at the scene with the four-foot-wide pie. It rubbed its incorporeal hands together; it always did enjoy a good pieing at the stake. Or not at the stake; it really didn’t matter. I shall have to get some of that edible glue. One never knows when something may come in handy on a Quest, especially not one with a capital Q.

The LIRs decided our ship needed a through cleaning…so they kicked us off to watch from shore as they deep-cleaned it,filled the storerooms, and painted and scrubbed and polished everything. When they finally let us back on board I was amazed. Our cabins were all in perfect order, the laundry was done, the dishes were done, the storerooms were full and orderly, and there was such a gloss on the deck and masts you could see yourself. They bowed deeply, presented us with a rock, and left. We now have a VERY clean ship.

SHIP’S LOG
~~AUG. 10~~

Yay! my ship, “The Sweet Tiramisu,” is now the cleanest ship in the fleet!

I went and talked to the LIRs after they had cleaned our ship and asked them if they wanted to come aboard.

I got the “completely-confused” look.

I attempted sign language – point at LIRs, point at ship, point at me, point at ship.

Still got the look.

Suddenly, one of the brighter ones smiled big and began to say:

“Squeak-Sqeeak squeakers squeakity squeakin squeak-squeak-squeak. Squawk squeakin squeakers squeak squeakers squawk!”

all of the LIRs smiled after this and stampeded toward the ship.

Now, we have a crew of two and 108 LIRs. We also have a catapult, more supples than ever, and new pie ingredients. Their island lies deserted now, but they seem very happy to come with us. They also brought two huge baskets of leaves and rocks with them.

After all they had done for us, I didn’t complain.

We leave tomorrow. We head north.

SHIP’S LOG
~~AUG. 10~~

After hearing the report made by otzi and mel about overweighting the ship with LIRs, I decided I had to do something.

so, i went and talked to them.

They were gathered in the barracks, having a wild party.

I asked them is some of them would leave because the ship was overweighted.

oi. i got the confused look.

so i drew a picture on a piece of paper. i drew a whole bunch of large creatures, drew them getting on the ship, and drew the ship sinking.

the next that happened was chaos. the poor LIRs began to mill about, not really knowing what to do. I whistled sharply and they froze in their tracks. I drew a picture of some LIRs on the beach and some LIRs on the ship and the ship was fine and everybody was happy. the LIRs looked like they were considering it, so I left.

a few minutes later, about half of the LIRs came up to me, Otzi, and Mel and said “Squeak squeak squeak, squeak squeak, squeakers, squeaking.” Seeing the crew’s obvious confusion, the LIR pointed to itself, pointed to the rowboats, and pointed to the island.

They were going to leave!

We rowed them back to the island, where they stayed, looking very very sad. I thanked them for making such an honorable choice. Of course, they didn’t understand me, but I then gave them a huge leaf, a small boulder, and a fresh pie filled with edible glue. This made them slightly happier, and they happily each took a slice of edible glue and threw it at each other – not at any Musers. They gave us a smile, and walked back to their village, never to be seen again… at least, not soon…

i will miss those guys, even though we have 48 LIRs still on board.

but maybe some other Muser will come along and adopt those poor, sweet LIRs.

after performing an Enlargement Charm upon the ship, which is now a huge, gallant, four-master, I settled down to finish this day.

there otzi – are you happy? after asking me to perform such a heartless task… of course, you were right, but I’m *sniff* going *sniff* to miss *sniff* those little guys *sob*

—

but at least they let us keep the catapult – it’s a fine weapon!

We departed early this morning along with our highly efficient crew of LIRs. I will miss them. Even though they reversed the ACCIDENT of Otzi [in her hammock] getting tied to random trees on their island. Just before we were going to wake up and set sail. If the LIRs hadn’t overloaded the ship, the BPM would have been in for a nasty surprise…erm, ACCIDENT.
Anyway, we’re out at sea on a very calm day, but there are clouds on the horizon. Hopefully, we won’t encounter any foul weather.

~~~SHIPS LOG~~~
After the VERY amusing (not) stunt of tying me up on the island, I am starting to feel the tiniest bit sorry for mel…she will have to deal with my revenge later. And it will be MUCH worse than the glue incident. Much, much worse. *cackles*

As son as the bad weather hit, I scampered up to the crow’s nest… only to find the spirit known as Penty sitting crosslegged, barring my path up the rope. Until I realized I could climb right through him. Which I did. Reaching the crow’s nest, I lashed myeslf to the mast and stood lookout. “SHIP AHOY!” I shouted in my best pirate brogue. ‘SHIP!!! OMG, THERE’S A SHIP!!! CAPTAIN BELLA, LOOK!!! A SHIP !!!! SHIPPITY SHIPSHIP SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOOKOUT, A SHIP!!! DON’T CRASH!!!!! SHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIPSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPP!!!!!!!
“SHUT UP ALREADY!” yelled Captain Bella from the helm. Just then we were hit by a large wave. Several LIRs ran for cover. Bella, Mel and I were bobbed around like beads on the ends of our ropes. When the weather cleared, I pointed toward the now very near SS intrepid. “I said there was a ship.” When we came alongside the ship, we found the inhabitants to be very confused looking. They thanked us so much it was a little embarassing.

And it hurts something awful to be walked through, even if it doesn’t bother the walker.” It muttered something, and then floated downwards aimlessly to have a little chat with the LIRs. Forming a leaf-covered rock out of air, it proceeded to squeak in a rather undignified manner.

SHIP’S LOG
~~AUG 12~~

Today I am ready to contact Johnny verne and respond to his SOS signal

I say that if he wants to know where he is…

HE WILL HAVE TO GIVE US A SHIP!

…

hmmm… that seems like a fair price, doesn’t it?

I mean, if he doesn’t have a navigator, he can’t possibly commandeer two ships!

and we can’t give him a navigator

that is, unless mel *sniff* or otzi *sniff* want to leave *sniff* me…

…

so, Johnny, give me a ship, I give you your life…

and I promise, if dealings are peaceful, we shall not harm your crew…

(otzi, arm the cannons and shields – just in case)

Johnny, you have heard your options – you cannot run long with “The Sweet Tiramisu” on your tail.

I guess you have no options

note to crew: remind me to explore the island and find out why someone went missing, would you?
note to crew: if j.v. cooperates, mel can be captain of the other ship as long as she swears loyalty to me. I am, after all, THE captain.
note to crew: and if mel is on another ship, that reduces the chances of a full-scale war between mel and otzi

hmm… I think i’m finally starting to live up to my name…

“Now, don’t make me come down there again. I need my beauty rest. And making all those lts and gts is tiring on the fingers, especially on this keyboard.” It sighed, and then vanished to talk to the LIRs again. They seemed to be the only sensible ones here.

But anyway, I guess nobody is ill, but if you are, I am at this wonderful inn, HE SLEEP AS A MONKEY, along with the rest of the crew of The Black Footed Ferret.
I’m afraid I don’t really know how to fix ships, though, captain. We might have to get some of the locals to help us with that. Is Bob at THE RESTING MONKEY with us? Oh dear. Sorry. I seem to be having some memory problems today. Who are you again?

The ship is now a purplish color and is fireproof, obviously due to a strange chemical reaction between cinnamon timber and rutabaga juice.

As soon as we have done that, as well as visited the Caesar Archipelago, we shall circumnavigate the globe so that accurate maps can be made. Some of the higher-flying pies destroyed all orbiting satellites, so we cannot make accurate maps unless this voyage is successful.

The Apparition liked grammar. And didn’t like Suedom, even for boats. It would not say who it was pointing this remark at.

Having talked to the LIRs for quite some while, its throat hurt from squeaking. It vanished into the sky once more to get rested and inquire about the moon. It hoped that the pierates had not forgotten about their Quest.

To the black footed ferret my studies have shown that this creates a barrier around your ship like a varnish and perhaps as you have seen makes it very bouncey. Also this chemical reaction may make animals on the ship sick. Feed them rutabaga juice with cinnamon sticks in tea should cure them.

also its not in the navy anymore it was retired. but the thing is there is a sign on the inside of the intrepid saying that the intrepid is a property of the government and in times of national emergency the government will re-comandeer it. meaning if we have a fleet coming to attack the US they will use it.

Aug. 17. We reached the Caesar Archipelago today and found that it was inhabited by three intelligent species: primitive humans, horned moles with bushy tails, and Croutmen. A Croutman looks something like a crouton with legs, arms and beady black eyes on stalks. The Croutmen are mostly confined to Crouton Isle, and the humans live on Lettuce’s Isle. The horned moles, which live on Dressing Island, are the most intelligent. They may be related to the LIRs.

The horned moles are with us, sailing alongside. The Caesar Archipelago is the uttermost eastern edge of our maps. We are in truly uncharted territory now. Fortunately, Eekeeknurknur has summoned a crouton-scented wind that is speeding us onward. We are approaching a threatening cloudbank. Eekeeknurknur says that the horned moles have attempted to sail east, but their boats have always disappeared mysteriously

Aug. 19. Went through what is now called the Stormbelt, a mass of stomclouds blowing north from the Equator. Jellyboats lost, except for Cloudberry and Scirocco, due to masterful sailing and buoyant jelly. We’re shipping water, and the Black-footed Ferret had her mast struck by lightning, incinerating the sails. We are nearly out of supplies. Eekeeknurknur is sending up a distress signal. If you are reading this, you must have found it in a corked bottle floating on the waves. If you see a purple star in the east, sail for it quickly. You may be our only hope.<

Aug 20. Our trip was delayed longger then we thought. As I write, the StormRunner enters the Stormbelt. I will give a brief history of myself, as I am starting my Ship’s Log.

My name is Travatan Oteino. My home is the Isle de Mango in the Five Fruits Archipelligo. The five islands there are: Mango, the capital, Banana, a 50 foot cliff that encompasses three quarters of the archipelligo, Orange, home to the greatest ship makers in the three seas, Apple, makers of the best apple pie anywhere, and pear, populated by vicous barbarians.
The StormRunner is true to her name. She is varised with mango juice, which has a similar effect to ruttabaga juice, her sails are made of a mango skin-metal alloy, making them innpenatrebable to lighting, and, she can be operated completly below deck.
We will have no trouble sailing the Stormbelt, if anything we will go faster. We will reach the Black Footed Ferret within two hours.

Most unfortuante! We were sailing along this foggy, cold, miserable day, when an iceberg suddenly loomed out of the mist! Our LIR steersrodent managed to turn away, but not before the iceberg scraped the side of the boat. Otzi has patched the ship with edible blue, but we fear it will not hold.

The weather is extremely treacherous. In the fog, you see shapes that are not really there… phantom ships, birds flying, people running through the cloud… it is confusing. I do not blame ourselves that we did not see the iceberg.

I wish to sail on, as it has been a long time since we came across land… I only hope it is the right decision.

A warning to fellow captains – beware the North!

We do not require assistance – even if we did, i do not want to risk other ships being damaged as well.

Soon after Captain Bella gave the order to continue northward, a huge storm blew up–again– and I immediately ran belowdecks to double-check the edible-glue patch that was keeping us from sinking. Me is still skulking around, refusing to come out of her cabin. According to the LIRs, she is convinced I have a huge pie rigged above her door for when she comes out. I hope there is a good psychologist at the next port. I left some food next to her door and went to check on the LIRs, who are never good with storms. I found them all clumped together in thier cabin, looking a little seasick. Then the storm abruptly stopped.
We were no longer in the far north.
We were in….
the Cesar Archiepelago. In a small cove, to be exact.
With four Jellyboats.

Thanks to the StormRunner’s crew, we are in good shape and are continuing our circumnavigation. Having passed the Stormbelt, we have unusually fair weather. Eekeeknurknur and his horned moles have parted company with us, leaving us a charmed crouton that controls the winds. They lashed the Cloudberry and the Scirocco together so as to make a sturdier ship with outriggers. The new ship’s name is Occorics Yrrebduolc, meaning “wave dancer” in Lirish.

Aug. 23. We got a chance to repay our debt to the StormRunner and her crew when Blackberrybeard attacked those valiant Quintifructian sailors in his ship, the Queen Rosanne’s Revenge. The battle looked like it might go either way until our gunners delivered a point-blank broadside of coconut creams. As the pierate ship sank, Blackberrybeard tried to row off in his jellyboat, but the colossal amount of treasure in it caused it to ride low in the water and become virtually immovable. We found the treasure to be comprised of an unfamiliar currency; small cubes of platinum-plated gold with intricate symbols on all sides. Could there be another civilization east of the Stormbelt?
A message from Eekeeknurknur was delivered by a large bat, possibly another LlR relative. The message runs thus:
/-/–_|\ _| /-_| ..*}{ _|__ — ….%
It is in the extremely complex Lirscript, which often uses one symbol for an entire sentence. Fluffy is deciphering it.

Hmm… seems to be an ad… I believe the large bat is not a relative of the LIRs, perhaps a native of Saskatoon Isle

I wouldn’t go to the resort if I were you – i don’t believe you can trust those hms… none of us LIRs are fond of them…

Aug. 26. Fluffy has radioed back from Saskatoon Isle. It is, indeed, populated by PURs and Pounds. He has been taken on aboard the Gnaf, the ship where the horned moles are imprisoned. The captain, Eekrowl, is planning to capture us and take our treasure. He will be in for a surprise. As soon as Fluffy gets the horned moles off the Gnaf, he will send up a flare and we will bombard the PUR ship.
Today, we found a desolate castaway who had been marooned by the cruel captain Summercamp. She is free to come aboard our ship, but we will shortly be sailing into danger.

A short course in Dracology:
Most dragons will attack with fire, teeth, claws, and tail. Find the leader of the European dragons first. They have language abilities, and like to talk whenever possible.

Aug. 27. The castaway has locked herself in a spare cabin with the entire literary component of the ship. Even though I have the key, I will leave her alone- I know what it’s like to be book-starved. Horrible hallucinations of libraries floating just out of reach.
The Gnaf is on the horizon. Really a beautiful ship, but ill-used by her captain. Our pie cannons are primed.
Flare going up!

Lesse… one of the ones I read during a book fair(didn’t buy it, but my friend did) had a fold out map, and another I thought was cool was really just a bunch of letters from someone with descriptions and really beautifl artwork, and there was one or two more, I think. Dunno, was it one of those?

Today Skalayne the LIR departed from us. As she is kin of the HMs and foe of the PURs and Pounds, she wishes to take part in the rescue…

Prarilius Canix, she shall be taking a jellyboat along with a few other LIRs to Saskatoon Isle. I hope she can help.

Aug. 30. We are apparently approaching land. Fluffy got very excited when he saw it, but he didn’t tell me why. Perhaps it is where he originally came from?
It seems like such a long time since I have seen Museica. I think all of us will be very happy to see it again.
I’m wondering about the mysterious apparition called “Penty”. Why did she instruct us to sail west? I guess we won’t find out- we’re going east.
We have been at sea for nearly a month now. We probably won’t get back until December.

~~Ship’s Log~~

After picking up Trav from Wild Dragon Point, we sailed for a while. There are many sand bars in this area, so we must be very careful. We also picked up a message in a bottle, but the writing was in a foreign language (not LirScript) and the ink was smeared, so we could not read it.

Sep. 1. We are within sight of a coastal city that seems to be populated by LIRs and their relatives. A small fishing boat was sent out to meet us. With Fluffy acting as translator, we discovered that they knew of a treatment for the dreaded Skoolitis. To make it, one mixes 2 parts Weekendiol with 1 part Finnishhomwerkin. This will keep the disease from becoming fatal. They are working on a cure which will be fully developed in approximately 9 months, called Summurvakeashunol. We will probably reach the city(it is called Nurik) within a few hours

Nurik is a prosperous city that started as a fishing village. We are going ashore to explore. I got some strange looks from the LIRs, probably because they had never seen a human(much less one with turquoise hair) before. Seeing a small fruit-seller’s stall, I went over to it. Not knowing the LIR currency, I picked up a blue mango and set down 5 of the cubes we had *ahem* borrowed from Blackberrybeard, hoping they would be enough.
The LIR looked at the money.
He looked at me.
He gave me every single bit of his merchandise, including the stall, as well as 50 silver cubes in change.
I do believe we are rich.

Eccentric the Afterthought

in September 3rd, 2006 @ 23:03

September 3rd:

I ought to save paper, but I feel I must keep writing or I will find myself entirely without activity and thus without hope.

I set out a month or more ago on a noble ship manned by the finest adventurers of Museica available for hire at the time. We were sent to seek distant lands and bring back what information (and treasure to fund the new civilization) we could. Our sponsors in Museica filled our ship with all kinds of supplies of the highest quality and a well-stocked treasury so that we would be able to give gifts and barter in the new lands, hopefully winning their peoples’ favor.

We soon found ourselves pursued by pirates. They were led by the notorious Blackberrybeard, who, running low on supplies after recent defeats, came seeking our provisions. Our ship was swift and we managed to lose our foes for most of the way, but when the pirates caught up to us at last there were too many of them to fight off. Our ship was burned, our provisions stolen, and our crew taken prisoner, forced to serve Blackberrybeard or die.

I alone, the mere cabin girl, managed to slip away unnoticed. Making sure Blackberry wouldn’t come back for me, I stayed out of sight, climbing aboard the largest plank from our wrecked ship (Blackberrybeard destroyed the ship, the only thing for which he had no use) I could find once the pirate ship was a safe distance away.

That is where I am now. I have managed to survive on rainwater, the contents of an abandoned keg of pie rum, and whatever food I can find, mostly edible seaweed, a peculiar plant. Most species taste like lettuce, but occasionally I’ve found crunchier leaves that taste vaguely like croutons. Now the flavor has changed, but I can’t quite place the taste. Does this mean I’ve drifted beyond even the distant Caesar Archipelago?

It’s getting colder. It’s a good thing I salvaged this nice, craunched-marmouset-fur coat. This makes me think back to Museica and wonder how things are going there. I had made it known that I was interested in assuming the responsibilities of a V-PM if a position became available, but without my ship’s communication devices there is no way for me to find out whether I did become a V-PM or not. If I am saved I must find a way to contact Museica from the new ship.

I could use a pie right now. How long has it been since I’ve had one? I don’t know how much longer I can survive like this. Fortunately, I might be saved! Today there was heavy fog, but I could have sworn I saw the outline of a ship, which got clearer the closer I drifted and the lighter the fog got. I thought I was halllucinating, but now I’m not so sure.

I’m drawing closer as I write this. I don’t know quite how long I’ve been drifting or even where I’ve drifted to at this point, but I do know that there is a ship close to me. I can just about read the name now…”Sweet Tiramisu”. I wave as I write, calling out.

“Hullo there! SOS, lend a hand to another sailor?”

I am but a cabin girl. My only training has been my time at sea, so the only art I’ve learned is service. All I can offer to the ship that will take me is work, but I am an adventurer bent on seeing the world and I’m willing to work hard to accomplish this goal. Just tell me what to do and I’ll do whatever needs to be done as best as I can do it.

Will the good ship I’ve accosted take me aboard?
