First post!
I know that was pointless, and it will probably get deleted by the GAPAs, so I’ll add something vaguely Ships’ Logs’ related to it, even though I never come here.
If you’re so inclined, why don’t you visit the Chronicles of Museica, Part The Third thread? It details the founding of our glorious nation of Museica, for whom you are exploring.
Will you please not delete that?
I completely fell out of the whole Museica theme. I think at ther very beginning of the voyage I had a boat, or was a carpenter on a boat, or something, but then I left the computer for a while and when I got back I didn’t go to that thread. So, what’s the story? *is glared at*
I guess I should fin out for myself and go read the old threads. okok…
OK. I braved the wilds of the previous threads, in hopes of finding something that would fill me in on the story. Bad plan. So how about I just join a ship and pretend I know what’s going on?
I’m confused as well. I’ve been lurking on the other threads…well, since they started. So I’ve read all the posts, but the whole process is still a bit foggy to me.
Ah, Finally.
I’ve been lurking for 2+ weeks. Sry. I’ll post later.
Skipper Nancy, you were once carpenter aboard my ship, but then you built your own, the Craunched Marmoset. I think that 100%cotton was your first mate.
Now I must go back and check on the old thread…

Dec. 28. We are approaching our home solar system. We will probably reach the moon tomorrow. The day has been uneventful. A particularly strong solar wind from Raspecan’s sun is sending us along at great speed.

PC (6),
You remember aright. The reference is here:

The food supply is running low, despite the large amount of nuts that we picked up on Raspecan, and of course we’re out of pie-rum. I look forward to seeing The Great Hornbeam not under the influence. At least the cheesies can provide fresh cheese for all, but they cannot eat their own cheese, so finding food for them is the priority.
~
WHEEEEEEE!!!!! 10th post!!!!!!
What’s this thread about?
10) I dunno I just like posting!
10- Wow, I can’t believe that actually got posted! I thought it was pretty pointless. I was kind of hyper. mwahaha.
So what is this thread about?
12) again i’ll say “I dunno I just like posting!”
Brave Sir Robin, will you refer to here:
https://musefanpage.com/blog/?p=601#comment-5
It will explain everything.
#10, #11, and #12 – you have been noticed and warned by PoPoPo #42! You are hereby fined virtual choklit.
And so this doesn’t become a rather pointless post, I shall ask a non-pointless question.
Can I join someone’s ship?
Wow, great memory PC. Thanks!
PP, you can join my ship if you want. It’s a green schooner (that converts into a green space cruiser) called The Craunched Marmoset. It has been inactive for the past 5 threads, but I’m joining in now. Where’s 100% Cotton, my mate?
16- Not all of the ships have moved to space, but you are free to. All you need is a Tholiatomine Drive, some solar sails, and a Carbonic Filter Field installed on your ship.
~
We reached the moon earlier than I expected. Fluffy has agreed to take back his old job, and the remote ship has been deployed to keep an eye on Darth Yoda. We are now in the upper atmosphere of Earth, heading for a space-dock in Galilei City.
I think the pieries think that I was giving extra rations to the cheesies because I was favoring them, when really I was doing it so they could produce enough cheese for the rest of the crew. I tried to explain that we were very low on supplies, but the rumors won’t go away.
Today is the birthday of our ship’s doctor! How shall we celebrate, RG?
OK, crew, we are going to Europa at the request of the Uranian PM.
Ummm…. Pie! Ship’s cook, can you please bake a pie for me, if it’s not too much trouble?
Europa sounds magnificent.
Gah. I was navigator and casual annoyance on the Enchilada steamer, but I think The only ones left on the ship are me and kiwimuncher. So anyone who doesn’t have a ship please join.
16 (SN) – great! what should I do?
~
Dec. 30. We have reached the moon again- these newfangled T-drives are really fast!- and are passing by it very quickly. Darth Yoda shows no signs of suspicious activity.
A violent solar storm is heading our way. We’d best get to the lee side of the moon.
~
(23) Umm… good question. I guess we’ll join PC on the moon, and then decide what to do from there. Any ideas?
*prepares ship for outerspace travel*
OK… off we go!
~
Dec. 30.The solar storm has passed. We’ll rest at the port of Luna City tonight before heading on to Europa.
I have found a comfortable hostelry known as the Quadravian. We will stay there for the night. They have been brewing an especially potent variety of pie-rum. Lunar Pierum will probably become the standard in the seafaring trade before long.
The pieries seem restless. I hope they are not going to carry out some nefarious plot that my old friend Darth Yoda has cooked up. I suppose I’m just being paranoid, though.
~
A message to the Craunched Marmoset; Come join us at the Quadravian for the party tonight!
We had better stay watchful, though. I would advise people not to drink too much pie rum, because Darth Yoda might have some sort of evile scheme.
can I help rebbeca with the cooking?I’m great at not useing much.
Sorry, PC, i’ve been gone for a while and you’ve been alone on the ZV. Here we are, and i fixed the problems with the pieries by having the cheesies give them some peace offerings of cheese wheels. the pieries seem to enjoy sniffing and playing with the cheeses, especially the cheddar variety. they have hoarded their gifts and seem to be involving in trade with the cheesies for more. This is fascinating. What do the pieries have to offer the cheesies? More study is needed.
Let’s get to that party!
A praty? Whee! Annnnd… I found one last bottle of Pie rum!!!!! It was hidden at the back of the storage hold, all covered in dust. But rum is rum!!
Ohh… I hope hostilities don’t break out. Not tonight, anyway. The we need both the cheesies and the pieries
Party! Pie rum (although it tastes sort of dusty)! The pieries have given me a rather large glass of the rum, but I’m trying to remain awake and un-tipsy. It’s not working very well…
I shall start baking some pastries sonce I am sort of the baker. I’ll bake a 3 layer chocolate cake with whipped icing, my favorite. I’ll also make some cinnamon scones, some giganormous oatmeal cookies, and some kiwi chocolate cheese cake. Don’t worry pieries! I’ll make a giant cream pie just for you!
No pierum for me, please. I have to keep an eye out for danger.
and I’ll make cheese coved tofo plus plan tofo for the pieries.
Seeking Employment:
One ship’s cook
Prefers to stay on Earth, but will travel to space
WILL NOT cook tofu, chard,liver, or spinach.
Please contact Sunrunner Bramblewood
Me: Come on cheesy! Let’s dance!
Cheesy: Bleep Bleep Bleepin!
Me: Woo hoo!
Cheesy: Bleep?
Me: The chicken dance is AWESOME!
—Advertisement—
I would like to join a crew!
First captain to claim me as their’s gets me!
Please let me know a part of which crew Iam, and the name of our ship. Thank you.
37- Capt. P. Canix of the Zommer Vaycayshun welcomes you aboard. Choose a position, and if it’s already taken you can be the assistant.
what positions need filling? lady bunniful hasn’t been on lately (grr!) so maybe we need a new cook. unless we take Sunrunner Bramblewood… but if she wont cook tofu that might be a problem… the pieries like it. i dunno what chard is *Wikis chard* okay. it seems like its kind of like spinach and kind of like asparagus and that the baby leaves are often used in salads. i like salad though. and asparagus isn’t bad.
well, it’s up to you, Captain Canix. What do you think? What other positions are there? do we have a weapons master?
(39) Grr?
I’m not sure if we have a weapons master or not. Though I’m in charge of the cabbage guns.
Shadowkat could be the gunner.
Note: I told someone that putting rutabaga juice on their cinnamon wood ship would make their ships’ would bounce anything that landed on it. But see I don’t remember who I gave that too. If you know I gave you that information don’t forget because certainly I do not remember…
42-What’s the gunner? And what do they do? By the way, I like the name of our ship.
43- You told me that, and it helped a lot. However, I am not aboard that ship currently, as she is not spaceworthy.
44- The gunner is the person that fires explosive pies at any pierates that dare to show their faces. And I like the name of the ship too. I commandeered her after we defeated the pierates that were originally her masters. She was called the Skool back then.
I think we should get going now. The PMs will have a blinking fit if they find out we wasted time on this party. Adios, Skipper. May the solar wind be at your back, and starshine beneath your keel.
I will help lb with the cooking
~
Jan. 6. We are now heading towards Mars with our new crewmember. We may stop there to distill some water from the polar caps. As far as we know, it is uninhabited.
~
*is still a little woozy from all of the pie rum*
My studies show that Mars may actually be inhabited, although I am not sure. I seem to see little figures moving down there…
Maybe it is just an after effect from the pierum…
rg-madbe it’s just how erly you woke up
45-Thanks! Sweet…I hereby accept the position of gunner. Two questions: Is there an available list of crew members, and, if so, will you post it for me? Also, just in case I ever want to do so, are crew members allowed to post journals, too?
49-*holds up some fingers*
How many fingers am I holding up?
(Just guess.)
In its PC (Pre Crustulum) state, Mars was uninhabitable, and it’s too far away for high-flying pies to impact.
50-it could be that toooo…
51-ummm, 12. nooo, 5. aye, that’s it. Five. I think.
51- 3! Are you holding up 3?
So, are we going to Mars or not? Well, while you guys are thinking over this, me and Rebecca can fix up a suppurb dinner. What do you think we could make? Do you think that lasaugna would be good with garlic rolls?
54- Sounds yummy. We are near Mars, and as we are almost out of water, we will land and melt some from the polar caps.
I am spacesick.
hey guys & gals what’s a blackboard’s favorite food? chalklet
I am from the faraway planet of Forestia. I have been traveling through deep space for 5 years in my ship: the Howling Lupus. I miss my planet very much. my crew consists of Dragicorn, our & the twin gunners Tobias & Rachel
(yes, i blew it, I am Dragicorn)
~
Jan. 12. After a delicious Italian dinner, a stop at Mars for water, and a scattering of new recruits, we sailed onward. We are now in orbit around Jupiter, waiting for Europa’s course to intersect with ours.
I’ll go report our progress to Museica.
~
Europa is in sight! Trim the sails and batten down the hatches! Mr. Ubergard, take us down 53.7 degrees.
(25) Skipper – have we reached the moon yet? What shall we do once we’ve reached the moon?
I sugget a smoth landing.
53,54-9, guys, 9! I’m holding up 9 fingers! Ay, you guys are in worse shape than I thought….
Oh, I knew it was six all along. ha, nine, sorry. *blinks blearily*
We’re almost to mars!
56-Oh dear!
Are we there yet?
Are we there YET?
ARE WE THERE YET??!!!!!!
Wow! Now we have 3 cooks! Me, the man for aeiou, and Rebecca! You guys had better be mighty hungry!
Bleepa Bleep Bleep Bleepen Bleepen.
Oh. Cheesy wants to know if we have reached Mars yet.
We are coming in for a landing on Europa.
The atmosphere here is very thin, crew, so don’t leave the Carbonic Filter Field unless you have a space suit. We will probably have to begin drilling into the icy crust of Europa to find any life and/or chocolate donuts that may exist here. Kiwimuncher, will you get one of the spare titanium alloy exhaust pipes out of the hold? We’re going to pack it with explosive fungus so that we can blow a hole in the crust and start drilling. It may be as much as a mile down, though.
I do hope there are chocolate donuts in the crust! Life forms would be good too, of course. Perhaps they eat the donuts!
Stop drilling! Donut deposit ahead!
I love donuts!
Hurrah! Shall we send a company of people to wish to harvest donughts into the crater?
76- Of course. Let’s go. As soon as the Zommer is chock full of donuts, we’ll head back to Museica. I hear Sir Ozlips wants us to explore Earth’s polar regions.
The polar regions seem exciting. Sounds like a good plan to me!
We have just discovered the first known form of life that evolved independently from Earth! It is the Europan donut wallaby. It looks rather like an earthly kangaroo, except that it has very dense, creamy white fur like a sea otter’s. It also has large black eyes that detect heat, and it’s about the size of a large rat. It keeps chocolate donuts threaded on its tail. The Europan donut wallabies live in small colonies and hatch out of eggs. Their colonies are in the crustal donut deposits, but they often dive into the subsurface ocean. Shall we take one back? To keep it happy, we will put it into our refrigerator with a large amount of its favorite food- donuts. The Uranian Prime Muser will be very pleased.
Yes, we should definitely take one back. This is a huge scientific discovery! Maybe, to keep it company, we should take a couple. Then, It won’t get lonely!
That wold be awesome! But we would definetly need alot more dough to bake the donuts. That thing sure can EAT!
Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep! Bleepen!
Cheesy says that he thinks that the Uranian Prime Muser would like to see his kind too.
“Munch Munch” Wow! these donuts are pretty good! I’ll have to get the recipe!
Nobody has figured out how the donuts form. It’s just one more anomaly of the Post-Pie-War universe, I guess…
But let’s get back to Museica. Then we can explore the polar regions.
sorry i’ve been delayed, Captain. I will resume Navigator duties immediately. If we haven’t left Mars yet, can we please voyage to the equatorial islands? I’ve had some very strange readings there. It could be more life-forms, or a new kind of mineral!
83- We’re heading back to Museica. Mars has islands? I suppose a large cloud of greenhouse gases must have been released from one of the more massive pie impacts, and it rocketed out to Mars, where it was trapped by the gravity and began retaining heat, allowing the polar caps to melt. I suppose life is most likely near the equator. Sure, we could stop there. It’s on our way.
Mars is in sight. There appears to be a large belt of blue and violet around the equator. Where did you say those islands were, Violetfire?
~
Jan. 28. We landed, and there is some life, but mostly things that look like big tadpoles, and some purple kelp. Ms. Lembar is setting up an aquarium to bring specimens back. We also found a deposit of beta-bioxiflorinium on the equatorial islands. Very little is known about this mineral. It will be sent to Chad for study.
~
We have collected the specimens and the chemical, and we are heading back to Earth. We’ll land in Hydropastrica, switch over to the Black-footed Ferret, and then sail west through the Gulf of Dornavenk. Once we round Cape Rowlik, we’ll turn due north and keep a steady course just east of the Stormbelt. Then we’ll reach the polar seas, sail easterly around them, and come back south until we reach the port at Spareparts, Chad.
Hurrah! We are returning to the Black Footed Ferret! That plan sounds good to me, cap’n.
I am deeply confused. Where are we going? Are we staying by the donuts to figure out the secret way they form, going to the mysterious islands on the planet where there is no water (Mars), or to the port of Spareparts?
Oh well. I’ll go and bake some bannana bread.
We are now in the port at Hydropastrica. Disembark, crew, and return to the good old Ferret.
That bananna bread smells good!
It is very nice to be back in the Black-Footed Ferret. Shall we set sail?
91- Yes. Let’s go. Cast off!
~
Jan. 31. We are sailing westward at a spanking pace. As we came out of Hydropastrica last night, we are now almost to Figh Isle, the nearest Museican colony. We will stop there to take on supplies.
~
***********
ship log for january 31
we are in the gulf still. a marshin die and it geting cooled. fish is tonights dish.
We have reached Figh Isle. There are no cities on it yet, just a small community. A few cheesies have been sent ashore to pick figs. In the meantime, I will review everything we know about the North.
I added everything we know to the map. After the voyage, I will send it in to the GAPAs.
We have now continued onward and will soon reach Zwyx. We are fully stocked with figs and fish.
I can’t wait to see the map!
I think the Europan donut wallabies have escaped from their refrigerator, because one just hopped past, trailing doughnut crumbs. This is not a big problem, but I shall have to go round them up (bribing them with doughnuts), and return them.
~
Feb. 1. We passed Zwyx in the night, and are now going north along the west coast of Iknurowlis. Nobody knows what the northern regions of this continent are like, but we do know that it is inhabited by enormous amounts of LIRs and their relatives. However, we are still on the charted part of the coast. It’s good to be back on the Black-footed Ferret.
I can see a coastal island up ahead, just to the east of the Stormbelt. Perhaps we should investigate.
~
As we approach the island, I can see it in more detail. It seems to be volcanic, with two large peaks that jut upward from it. It is roughly peanut-shaped. One of the volcanoes is active, while the other is dormant. The upper half of the peanut is filled with sulfur vents and lava streams, while the lower is covered with deep forest. Shall we land, or go on?
Sure! I always like exploring! The peanut sounds COOL! Except, lets not get roasted. Haha! Get it? Roasted?!
~
Jan. 2. After spending the night in East Bay (where the two bulges meet), we are going ashore to explore Peanut Isle. It is approximately on the same latitude as the Caesar Archipelago, which leads me to believe that they are parts of the same island chain, linked by one or more islands inside the Stormbelt. This also brings me to the conclusion that unknown waters lie to the north of Peanut Isle.
The exploration teams will be the most recent posters.
Upper half (volcanic)
Prarilius Canix
Ruffled Grouse
Violetfire
Lower half (forested)
Kiwimuncher
the man for aeiou
Shadowkat
Each team will be accompanied by one Cheesy and one Pierie. Kiwimuncher will command the expedition to the lower half. Let’s go!
~
________________
Land Expedition Log
We are traveling down a narrow gorge with sheer obsidian walls, probably formed by a crack in the crustal plate. The central volcano is only sending out a thin trail of smoke.
________________
This thread is much slower than its precursors. I wonder if that’s a sign that it’s dying. But I’ll keep it alive until every inch of the Museican globe is charted.
___________
We came out of the gorge to find a large plain of mud filled with blasting sulfur vents. I’ve just started out on the mud to reach the volcano, and
_________
AAAAAAAAAA! I’m sinking in the mud!
_______________
it looks like this is where icelaand was before it drifed off the hot spot durring the pie wars.
_____________________
Whew. Just escaped.
From the top of the volcano, I can see the general shape of Northern Iknurowlis. I’ll add it to the map.
Looks like it’s mostly dry, cold steppe, though not as cold as Navenk. I can see herds of some sort of horned, shaggy beast being driven across the plains by LIRs.
Let’s go back to the Black-footed Ferret. Then we can see what the report from the lower-half explorers is like.
i have returned
LOTBC IS BACK
i was a bad captain so i give insane blue sage all ownership of the enchilda steamer
The exploration party from the lower half still hasn’t come back. I wonder if they’ve made an important discovery… or if they’re in trouble.
109-I will repeat It looks like Iceland.
Thanks, TMFA.
~
Feb. 6. We have left Peanut Isle and are now sailing north. We’ve entered the Arctic Circle now. There are many ice cream and popsicle floes in this place.
A large object can be seen to starboard just below the waves. I wonder what it is.
~
(108) I am very sorry to say that the Enchilada Steamer has been deserted.
Goodness! I’m gone for the weekend and we’re already off to the artic circle! I must add that I like Peanut Isle, yet Cheesy doesn’t like it, due to the fact that he doesn’t think that cheese is a very good combination with peanut butter.
You notice that I say that I LIKE peanut isle. It isn’t past tence. Hint hint.
HELLO?! YOU LEFT US!
Well, Cheesy, Harold the pierie, and I are sitting all alone on a strange island known as Peanut Isle. It looks alot like Iceland and has a nasty, muddy volcano. what will we do?
Well, we’re still sitting here. There’s only one difference. We have something to occupy ourselves. We have found a cocnut and are now playing Kickball. Or should I say, Kickcoconut.
Wait! Something just ran up and grabbed our coconut! What is it?!
Whoa! I think Harold understands it! It’s saying that the coconut is his and we shouldn’t be kicking it around! Oops! Sorry! Here’s you coconut back!
Hey Harold! Could you ask him where a good place to stay would be?
Cool! Really?! Thanks! the native says that we could stay with him in his hut!
Bleepy bleepy bleep bleepen!
Oh Cheesy! That is so picky! Just because he is shaped like pecan, you shouldn’t be so hard on him!You afterall, are shaped like cheese!
Okay! Let’s go!
Oh drat. I left our assistant cook behind. Fluffy, will you take a jellyboat and pick her up?
The object’s surfacing… WHOA!
It seems to be a massive whale with a city on its back! We must investigate.
Me: Well Mr.Pecan, would you like me to fix you some dinner?
Harold:k.sdhviledsjf;lwksmopdf;le?
Mr.Pecan:rhjdkljfeop;aldkmf;l
Harold: He says sure.
Me: Okay! I think I’ll make some chicken, carrots, and some coconut cream pie for desert.
Harold: That sounds good!
(Everything eventually getx cooked, I am now on the last course, desert)
Me:Hmm. Hm. Hm. Hm. Hmmmmmmmmm. (humming)
(I glare at coconut)
Me:Okay! Time to crack you!
(I raise the coconut over my head to crack it just as Mr.Pecan comes in the room)
SLAM!
(I crack the coconut, the milk goes everywhere)
Mr.Pecan:efukhdakijwefwe;adjtflwe.dkfjio4l3rkhdflwejslfrmrlkdamfl;ewjdsl;.em,wdl;fjldsafmekldn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Mr.Pecan rushes at me, screaming, and waving his pecan like fists in my direction. He didn’t look very happy. Okay, maybe that was obvious.)
I shrieked and got Cheesy and Harold. We ran like crazy to the shore, Mr. Pecan right behind us. We had lost all hope of ever getting off this cursed island without getting roasted when a jelly boat appeared on the horizon! Who was it?! It was…………………………………………………………………………………
To be continued…………
HEERY EEP!!!!!!!!! KEEWEEMEENCHEER EEK HEEREELD GEET EEN!!!!!!!!!!
Translation; Get in, Kiwimuncher and Harold. Hurry up!
Um…sorry I haven’t been here in a while, but will someone please give me a short summary of what’s happened since I left?
We came back from Europa and are now on an expedition to find the North Pole. I just sighted a city on the back of a whale and I am going to investigate it.
The inhabitants of Whale Isle seem to be Dornavenkians. With my knowledge of that language, I learned that they are religious sect that worships the Grand Chartreuse Pie Poongah-Woongah-Xxaxx. They were persecuted in Dornavenk and driven to this refuge. They tell me that the North Pole has an enormous volcano beneath it that keeps the water within miles of it from freezing. Whale Isle swims the southern border of that area.
This is an immensely important discovery. I wonder what strange beaches and shores are lapped by this paradox of nature, the Northern Sea? One thing is certain; this voyage shall be one we will never forget.
~
Feb. 9. Today we left Whale City and kept sailing north. Fluffy and Kiwimuncher caught up with us at about ten in the morning. I’m excited about discovering new lands in the north, but I’m worried because, to reach Spareparts, we will have to pass through the treacherous mists that were almost the doom of Captain Lestrange and the Sweet Tiramisu.
I think I can see land on the horizon. Change course a few points to port.
~
We’ve landed. There is no indication whether this is a large island or a small continent. The only thing I know is that it’s KOLD. REELY KOLD. Let’s kall it Kold. I beeleev I havv fallenn viktim too thee dizeez ov intenshunal misspellingz. GAHHHHH!
Anyway. Let’s sail around its coast to assess how large it is.
It appears to be a large continent. On the beach, I found a wrecked Iknurowlian ship that had been compiling maps. One of them showed a good outline of Kold. However, a major part of the North Sea remains unexplored. Let’s go there, and then return to Museica.
As we sail around Kold, I keep hearing rustling in the coastal bushes. Perhaps it’s my imagination.
~
I’m not so sure about this mission…it seems pretty dangerous. PC says he(She? Sorry.)’s been hearing noises in the bushes on Kold. I hear them too. Not sure what it is, though. I thought I saw a Bvorg-like thing dash deeper into the forest this morning, but it could’ve been a trick of the light (it was sunrise)…oh, I hope nothing goes wrong.
~
What is a Bvorg?
Oh, and I’m a he. If I was a girl, I’d probably be “Prarilia.”
if you need me I’ll be in the kictonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
SO SORRY about being gone. i was sick with an extreme case of the Martian climatius bergdorfian influenza (not really). but i’m back. and i read the whole thread.
~~~~~~~~
It seems that the Bvorgs of this island are trying to drive us mad like the Sirens of lore. I can hear them singing at the very corners of my ears. I long to leap overboard and drink the waters of the sea, and swim down to the very bottom-crust where they are telling me i will have grand adventures. They are luring us, and we would do rightly to be cautious. This is a haunted isle.
~~~~~~~~
is this reminding anyone of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader?
Yup. Nobody will ever know what wonders Kold holds because of its coastal Bvorgs.
~
Feb. 11. We have finally left the coast of Kold and are heading into the Ice Gulf. It is an extension of the Northern Sea.
I can see a huge pinnacle of rock sticking out of the water. It appears to have several Sidehill Gougers moving around it and grazing on the lichens.
~
A Bvorg is a horrifying creature: full-grown, they are about 9 ft. tall, have 1.5 ft.-long fangs, dripping with venom, and 6-inch razor-sharp claws. They are covered in shaggy dark brown fur, which secretes a thick, sticky substance in order to trap any prey that touches it, making them very hard to kill. Their eyes pick up ultra-violet rays, and they have extremely good night vision. Fortunately for us, they can’t see very well during the day…unfortunately for us, for this reason, they tend to attack at night. They also have a very good sense of smell, but their hearing is not the greatest. For all their muscle, brawn, etc., they are not very smart…good for us, but they’re still dangerous, as you may have guessed.
128-Ok, just wanted to make sure…I couldn’t find any sure record. Sorry.
There seems to be one sizable island in the Ice Gulf besides the rock pinnacles. Shall we investigate it?
When last you guys left us, we were being chased by a mad Mr.Peanut when we saw a jelly boat on the horizon. I heard a small voice calling from the ship. It sounded like it said…………..
Voice: Kiiiiiiiiiwiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssss are sooooooooooooolllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllld heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrre! Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnn!
Me: Help! Help! We don’t want kiwis right now even though it sounds tempting!
Cheesy: Bleepy Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
Harold: Hurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Mr. Pecan: Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrg! lwekhsndlkafjmklsdajflwsopl;jsafmkl! LKJSDLFKJMSDKLJKLK!
(All the pursued whirl around in shock, thinking they are about to see a mad nutty creature bearing down on them. But instead, they see a grotesgue sight)
Cheesy: Explodes out some cheese.
Me: faints
I wake up later in the cabin of a jelly boat. I blink and say that I’m never roasting any chestnuts again.
Now we are making our way back to the “Black-footed Ferret”. I hope we make it in time before you guys go crazy missing us! I guess that I’ll go and make some dinner. How about corn pudding, broccoli, corn beef, and peach cobbler al la mode. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Yummy!
Well, it is now 10 o clock and we have caught up with the Black-footed Ferret. Yay! (I know, I’m slow on the uptake)
I vote that we investigate the above-mentioned island…as long as there aren’t any bvorgs…eesh.
The island is shaped rather like a B.
DOCTOR IS BACK!!
And now she is not.
Yes, let’s investigate the island.
PC-That doesn’t speak well of it…but let’s go, anyway…I’ve got a longing for adventure.
We have landed on this bizarre island to find a strange sight. A large watchtower made of dark wood is standing on the shore, charred by fire and deserted, but still solid. Strange runes are engraved into its posts, runes that I’m sure I’ve seen somewhere before…
I’ve seen them, too…I think…it just might be…yes, I think it is! I’m pretty sure these runes are from the ancient civilization of the Myonians…but what they’re doing here is beyond me. And what could’ve made them abandon this tower like they appear to have done?
~
Today we ventured into the forest on this strange island. Oddly enough, it seems to be devoid of any and all living creatures except us. All is quiet but for the wind drifting through the trees. We found what appears to be an abandoned town today…nearly every building was charred and blackened. They looked like they had been burned. It smelled of burnt flesh, too, so someone didn’t get out. The fact that the town still smells like that, though, means that it happened not long ago…
~
The Myonians? Any more detail on them? ‘Cause I don’t know what you’re talking about, except that they built the obelisks of Abced.
143-they lived on crete and the other ilands near grecee. some say that one of there ilands was alantis.i think this might be it.
Atlantis? Makes sense. The area under the polar ice cap was forced upward by tectonic action during the Great Pie War, so any sunken islands would be forced back up.
I’m hearing some menacing roars in the forest beyond the town, and flames licking upward. Shall we go, or stay?
Too late. Whatever they are, we’re surrounded. Shadowkat, break out the pie muskets, and have a circle form around the supplies. Any without muskets, get inside the circle with pie cutlasses. Jadestone, Fluffy, and I will handle the pikes over the heads of the gunners. Prepare for pie combat!
The attackers look like the reptilian tribes of Dor, but they live on the other side of the world! How did they get up here? Well, no time to ponder. They’re getting closer. FIRE!
It’s no use! Retreat! Wait…
Uh, oh. I see a ship lying in wait in the harbor… It’s Siyence, the pierate son of Summercamp! Now we know where he got those Dornese mercenaries. Get on board! This will be a fight at sea!
Ay, ay, cap’n!
*fires pie musket to cover our tails*
We don’t have time to ready the ship!
cap’n we are out of cabbsage!
Fine time to run out of cabbage! We can fight from the deck! Ready the ship in victory or not at all!
Hey, this is here! Neat-o
Okay, where’s my crew? Do I still have a crew?
CALLING ALL CREW MBERS TO THE SWEET TIRAMISU
I don’t blame you if you don’t come.
Canix, buddy! Are we still buddies? I kind of left when you were exploring that island back in August. Yeah, sorry about that. Can you forgive me? please please please please please?
Here’s a question: where did I park my ship? Anyone know?
152- I left your ships in the port at Spareparts City in Chad. Can’t talk now, I have to fight a pierate.
Thanks Canix!
~~PERSONAL LOG~~
I traveld to Spareparts City today in search of my ships – The Sweet Tiramisu and johhny vern’s 3 ships. I asked around town and found out that they had been sent to a secret base called Hackberry Farms. I exhausted all of my connections in Spareparts City and finally bribed several officials. I found that Hackberry Farms is on the secret island of Rewthlatickopution (anyone heard of that?). I quickly stowed away on an envoy traveling to Hackberry Farms.
It turns out that Rewthlatickopution is a pierate base. I looked around and nearly got my head blown off by a stray pie. There are lots of rowdy taverns dotted on the coast, and a huge fort lies in the middle of the island. Sadly, I only recovered 2 of the ships – the Tiramisu and one of johnny’s ships. They were *sniff* oh, forgive me for this horrible truth. They were *sniff sniff* rotting away on a dump part of the city.
Oh forgive me please! I cried at the site of those ships! Please forgive me!
However, there were still two ships to be found. By asking around town, paying a lot of bribes, and getting a lot of pierates drunk, I found that the two other ships were now part of an armada belonging to General Skylartooth (I assume he’s the head of this place). No one would tell me who the General was – they all seemed too frightened.
~~SAILOR’S LOG~~
A fool of a captain, that’s what I am.
I’ve, erm, been, erm….. captured.
Right now I’m in a prison cell deep beneath the island of Rewthlatickopution.
Yeah, this is kind of embarrassign right now, so I’ll just tell you what happened and then go and sulk.
General Skylartooth seems to be a giant crab of some sort, except that he can talk and scare the crap out of people. He is the ruler of Rewthlatickopution, and controls a fleet of about one hundred and fifty pierate ships. I was sneaking around the 5-mile long docks, looking for a safe place to hide, when two LIRs snuck out and captured me. Yes, LIRs! I don’t know why they’re working for the General, but they didn’t recognize me.
They took me up to the fort in the middle of the island, on a high hill. The walls are made of 4-inch thick pie crusts and are about 70 meters high. You’d think that pie crusts wouldn’t be a good choice of building material, but guess again. I recognized it as a secret recipie the LIRs had been working on back on my ships. They had hoped to create a pie crust that would enable them to cook without using pie tins, and a crust that would double as a building material. They obviously perfected the recipie.
So, I was brought before General Skylartooth, and he took one look at me and told the LIRs to go put me in a cell so that he can decide what to do with me in 50 years. My cell is deep beneath the island, on the -5th floor of tunnel C, section A. The bars are made of cherry-medicine-flavored pie crusts, so I guess that rules out eating my way to freedom.
You see, there are three large holes in the floor of the fort. These are the dungeon tunnels – they are like holes that go straght down, with stairs circling the walls for guards to take prisoners down. The tunnels go down maybe 20 feet, then stop and split off into three sections. These sections then go down, like tunnels, with an elevator lift on one side of the hole and a cell on the other, with one cell per floor. Each floor is labeled by a negative number, I’d say going to down to about -10.
The walls are made of rock, the cell front is bars made of pie crust, and the floor is rock, too. Don’t ask me which is harder, pie crust or rock, I couldn’t tell you – they both hurt when you hit your head on them, and neither will crack.
So yah, that’s my story. I do not yet require assistance. I shall keep reporting on my situation. *sigh* This will be an adventure
Justinia, Eekeeknurknur! Get the sails up! The rest of my crew, stand with me at the port rail and help me hold off these pierates! We can’t beat Siyence with these Dorian mercenaries swarming all over us! We have to get out to sea!
155-skylarthooth took over that iland by killing off the old rulers.i’ve herd he kills off all prisoners.
necromancer- did it never apear to you to lick the bars of pie until they soften and crumble? anyways i’ll save you if you let me into your crew.
never fear necromancer i’m coming, along with my nail file if these bars are truly cherry medicine as you say it may take more than a little saliva to free you. um… i’ll bring a piesaw as well… i hope i get you before the crab guy does.
The cherry-medicine flavoring was a truly dastardly touch. The fumes alone could make one’s mind go woozy and even hallucinate. Be careful, Kagcomix!
have no worries rebecca your word of warning came just in time! i was almost out the door when i saw your message so i reached for my gass mask and the spare one (for necromancer)
Cut away the anchor! No time to haul it up! Full speed!
Huh? What? What’s been goi9ng on? i’ve been asleep all this time and it seems that you gys have beenhaving an adventure without me! Hmmmmmmmmmm. Is that pierates chasing us? Why haven’t you guys been killing them with some cabbages? What? You don’t have any?! Oops. Maybe that’s because I have all the cabbages locked up in my secret safe inm my cabin. I guess that I’ll go get them.
Woo! Okay! I got them!
“Pow!” “Pow!” “POW!”
Yay! Victory! Victory!
necromancer do not fear- i have reached the island of Rewthlatickopution and am waiting till nightfall. actually no. ithink i’ll go save you right now. who knows what those pie fumes could do to you?
Siyence is defeated, and we are now drifting about off the west coast of the Museican taigas. We will probably reach Mimi in a short while.
We landed at our old cove in the Snocreme Mts. I’ll send in the map soon.
I sent the map in. I’ll ask the Prime Musers where we should go next.
168 – We have Prime Musers still? Where?
~~SOMEBODY’S LOG~~
Kagcomix, no! It is a trap! I have just discovered that I am being held here, not to hurt my feelings, but to lure in other do-gooders like yourself! I overheard some of the LIRs squeaking – fortunately I have not fogotten all of that language.
Kagcomix, do you know what LIRs are?
I thought not.
They are Large Intelligent Rodents, discovered in my past explorations. They used to work for me, except for this horrible turn of events.
Anyways, don’t come yet! We need a good, soluble (is that the right word?), spifftastic plan.
Oh, Kagcomix, you can join my crew if we get out of this, but I still need to steal, ahem, BORROW a ship (okay, maybe a few) from the harbour (not to mention some LIRs – they are excellent sailors)
~~SOMEBODY’S LOG~~
Canix, beware! General Skylartooth is planning a massive assault on Museica using his pierate fleet. I saw drawings in the chambers when I was brought before him the first day, but I just realized what they were.
Good luck! Kagcomix and I shall join you as soon as we can.
*is back and finally finished catching up*
What would you like me to do, Captain?
We have an emergency, Jadestone. Museica will be assaulted by the pierate fleet of Skylartooth. I’ll go to TCOM (The Chronicles Of Museica) and make a plan.
No help there. How can we defend ourselves?
Oh dear, I’m so far behind. MUST catch up somehow.
175-Can we turn to the HPBs?? The cheesies? There must be some way…
The cheesies, yes! I know what to do. I will take the Black-footed Ferret and all my normal crew, to enlist the help of the Hydropastrican navy and the swimming HPBs. Fluffy will take the Zommer Vaycayshun with all of our cheesies and pieries to get the rest of the cheesies. And maybe even the dreaded Darth Yoda and his pieries. He may be an enemy of Museica, but he lives on one of its territories, and Lunar Museica will probably be Skylartooth’s next target if Museica is overrun.
sir we must sail to cat city in pwt. it has a lot of cabbage…
Take a jellyboat to Cat City with three pieries, TMFA.
~~SOMEBODY’S LOG~~
Aha! I have a plan to get out.
I need someone’s help though. Someone with a submarine and a couple of underwater grenades. A lot of grenades.
Okay, so the pie crust is nearly indestructable. Nearly. Their weakness is water. Water will soften nearly anything, and since pie crust is indeed a pastry, it will also soften.
So, someone go underneath the island to the prison column, explode the grenades with enough force to crack the rock so that water stream in. I do risk drowning, but I should be able to get out. Mind, the water shouldn’t be coming in so quickly that the pie crust has no time to soften. Just a small crack should do. There are no guards in the tunnels – they are too confident of their pie crusts. Meanwhile, two people should be in Skylartooth’s presenting chamber, where his throne is and where the tunnels are; one person pretending to be an apprehended do-gooder and another pretending to be a pierate turning in the do-gooder. The pierate should have lots and lots and lots of weapons. The pierate needs to stall until I can dash up from the tunnels. We steal two ships and sail away.
How’s it sound? It needs some help, but it could work.
i’ll go with the cheesies! I seem to understand their language and cheesy likes me.
Bleepy Bleep!
Okay Captain! I’m ready for takeoff! I know you’ll miss my cooking but I don’t know if that can be helped!
Hey! I think we need a part 6! We’re going farther and farther down the list!And besides, this is post # 182!
log of jellybout #1
************************
it prete peaceful out here.i shoed rech cat by dawn.
thanx for the warning necromancer- i’ll take care of the boat no need to BORROW when you can steal from the bad guys. there are some waterbottles and sponge hidden in the third stone from the east in your cell. you do the math and get your self out of there. i’ll be waiting off the shores with a boat swim to us. question: are we the only crew members?
We are heading for Hydropastrica. Since we came out of the North Sea by a large strait near Navenk, we should reach the Gulf very soon.
Hey Fluffy?! Are we ready to go? Okay! Let’s go!
Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepy!
Wow. Cheesy is really happy about this. I guess he can’t wait to see his family again.
Oh my goodness! You guys will NOT believe this but just after we took off, I was busy making some pancakes when I saw a giant yellow hole out my ship’s cook’s window! Cheesy started makihg a wild ruckus. Hello?! Don’t you guys understand? This is a cheese hole! If we get too close it could suck us in, never to see the lightof day again!
152-Wow! You’re back! Welcome!
I’ll post more later.
Eeeeeeeeek! What will we DO?!
189- I don’t know. Good luck. I’m a couple parsecs away right now, so I can’t help.
Oh, snapple! We’re doomed! Um…hm…do we have any milk? Like, a lot of milk?
187- hit that big red button that says C.H. NUKE that will take care of that pesky cheese hole
now that the cheese hole is gone…. OH @#$%^$%^&**^%$ SPACE PIRATES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
log of pwt.I arived in new cat today and am buying lots of cabbages.I set sail at 8:00
This colorful and detailed map reached us courtesy of Prarilius Canix:
Ooooh, cool map.
I will pretend to be the pierate apprehending the do-gooder, if you wish, Captain. If we get out of mess…
SNOW DAY SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY anyway we escaped th pirates without harm
or did we ? *creepy music plays*
if we mention a wild or extincted member of the Felis/Canis genere does that fall under the cat/dog rule?
hey Jadestone haven’t seen u for a while!
would some GAPA answer post 199 please
MuseBlog does not prohibit cat/dog postings.
Y?
Where is peanut isle? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Cabbage attack! hahahahahahahahaha! Wow that was a really evil laugh. I surprised myself. Oh, wait! There seems to be something wrong! The pirates are holding up something! Oh No!! They seem to be holding all the other cheesies hostage:!:
After alot of exclamations………
Bleepy Bleep Bleepers!
Translation: Let my people go!
The evil pirate captai just shales his head and says “Not until you……………………………….”
To be continued……………
Thank you for the map, GAPAs. I didn’t put a compass rose on it because the north point would stick straight out of the screen.
Of course, I have to give credit where it’s due. Necromancer researched most of the lower right area (the treacherous mists and the isle of LIRs). The north Navenk coast was mapped courtesy of Dornavenkian sailors, and the rest by me and my crew.
The Hydropastrican navy is now following me back to Museica. Chad will probably be Skylartooth’s first target, as it is closest to his island. As such, we are heading to Spareparts to prepare for siege.
205-And what a map it is! Very nice work, PC! I said I’d do that for the PPP, but then the whole thing pretty much fell apart, so it would’ve been pretty pointless.
We’ve got to rescue the rest of our crew from the pierates, captain! What should we do?
*stands at attention and awaits orders* I volunteer!
To do what, I’m not sure exatly… but I havn’t been here for a while, so I’ll take the risk of the dangerous part of the plan. When we get a plan. Any ideas?
I have no ideas at all. Shoot. *thinks*
*thinks*
o.k. to chad!
hmmm lets see. i have no clue what is going on with anyone else and i am WAITING FOR NECROMANCER TO ESCAPE so we can go on some cool voyage.hurry up i’m getting bored and may sail off without you.
The space expedition will have to fend for themselves. Every day, Skylartooth’s forces move closer to Museica. There are also rumors that Geeometree and Maath, the remaining sons of Summercamp, have joined him. We must reach Chad with the Hydropastrican navy to have any hope of success.
Schweet! I have escaped, with the help of Kagcomix and Jadestone, even though she’s not part of my crew. oh well. Thanks to everyone!
I have borrowed a sleek barque (yes, that is spelled correctly) from the docks. A barque is a small ship with three masts. The first two being square-rigged and the aftermast fore-and-aft rigged. The fast sailing bark was a favourite of the Caribbean pirates, who sailed them to Africa and even Madagascar. They could hold as many as 90 men and around 12 guns.
Her name was The Poisonous Shrimp, but I have renamed her The Wraith. She is completely black, with dashes of white here and there. I thought the name was fitting.
Canix, I come to join you as soon as possible. Right now, we’re just following Skylartooth’s fleet. We are far enough behind to not be recognized as do-gooders, but close enough not to loose them.
[Q: where is Chad? Is it south of Rwethlatikupution? Slightly puzzled… And where did we determine Museica was? And where did Eekeeknurknur come from? No need for another map, just general directions.]
Ah, sheet. Necromancer is out! Everyone, full speed to Chad! We’re going to have to work to get there before ’em and have enough time to set up unless we want to get in more trouble.
Ironic that we get over 200 posts when Museica is facing its greatest crisis ever.
214- Chad is a province of Museica. It’s southeast of Rwethlatikupution. Museica is where America used to be. Eekeeknurknur comes from the Caesar Archipelago, in the Eastern Sea.
I don’t think I’ve ever even been to the Museica thread…ok, just a question: is Museica pronounced “mooz-i-kuh” or “moo-zay-i-kuh”…just wondering.
Sorry, but I realized that that’s not quite what I meant…is it “MYOOZ-i-kuh” or “myoo-ZAY-i-kuh”? There we go.
MYOO-zi-kuh.
220-Thanks.
First of all, credit is due for my breaking out. I was stumped at how to escape, so I asked my friend Darth Chipmunk (he does not visit here – this is just a code name for him) how to get through pie crust. He told me water and voila! i am free.
But I have come up with another brilliant plan, by myself this time. I realize that we may not have a large enough force to defeat Skylartooth. Where to get help? From the LIRs. Using my spyglass, I see the LIRs on board the other ships – I recognize many of them. I have discovered in the ship’s stores a can of Remembrance Berries. A favorite food of LIRs is berries.
So, the plan: I will set the berries in a waterproof basket, sail up to one of the ships, toss it on board, then just wait. The LIRs should immediately devour the berries, realize who their true capitain is, commandeer the ship, and join me to rescue more LIRs.
It is dangerous, for while sailing beside one of the ships in order to throw a basket on board, I may be recognized, but it is all for the good of Museica.
And don’t forget – I am a necromancer and can use my majikal powers to help our cause. I made a my schooner, The Sweet Tiramisu, into a warship in order to accomodate all the LIRs we took on, during the first Logs’, so I should be of some use.
I have the longest posts, don’t I? oh well.
Continued…………………….
The evil pirate captain just shake his head and says, “Not until you…….make me one of your famous kiwi chocolate cream pies.” My mouth drops open in shock! I had no idea my pie was so FAMOUS!
I nod my head and the crew and I go down in the kitchen to make the biggest pie EVER!
When we hand in the pie all the cheesies are set free! Everyone cheers!
Now we are ready to head back to you guys and help us to when the war!
Excellent. I will check on the response of the PMs.
~~SHIP’S LOG~~
Well, I have good news and bad news.
Good news: I have rescued 32 of the original 48 LIRs. They are all happy to be back and are willing to share secrets and Skaylartooth with us.
Bad news: I have the entire fleet on my tail. After all, they can’t attack Museica without enough forces. But some of the schooners are coming on fast, as they can be manned with few sailors. The warships are lagging behind. I fear they will all pile into the warships and blast me to bits, or pile into the warships and head for Museica. I am leading them north, away from our country, but I REQUEST IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
My magic can only do so much. So far I’ve scuttled 3 warships, 7 sloops, and 5 frigates, but they’re still coming. It’s kind of hard to flee and destroy at the same time, y’know. And I think they’re starting to figure some tactics against me.
repeat: I REQUEST IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE.
The doctor is here to help!
If you can manage to send someone over to the enemy ships, you could put this in their food. *holds up shiny silver bottle* It will cause them to hallucinate, think that giant HPBs are chasing them, and run away. It’s not exactly a brilliant plan, but it may work. *hands over bottle*.
Keep distracting them, Necromancer. The longer they stay away, the longer we have to prepare Museica for war. I suggest luring them onto the Kontinent of Kold(see map) and getting them devoured by Bvorgs.
Good news, Necromancer. My alter ego, the Crrawian Prime Muser, has sent a squadron of Helichocter* Raven R-5s to find you and help you battle Skylartooth.
*A helicopter made from fudgium, a delicious, dark-brown and durable metal. Raven R-5s are war helichocters that fire chocolate cream pies.
Well! It seems that not only is the whole pierate fleet following me, but so is Skylartooth! We communicated today, using signs and flags. He wants not only the LIRs, but me as well, since I can communicate with them. He thinks I would make an excellent pierate.
I hate to say it, but pierating sounds like fun. Skylartooth is very persuasive. I’ll continue heading to the Kontinent fo Kold, but…
Anyways…
Canix, there may be no battle for Museica if they keep following me.
And Rewthlatikopution is currently being left unguarded. Well, maybe a few guards, but hey, Skaylartooth’s here, I’d say his entire fleet is here…
New plan?
Oh – the Helichocters have not showed up yet, though I send sparks into the air every few minutes so they can find me.
Here’s another version of another plan of another option (huh?):
I won’t lead them to the Kontinent of Kold. I’m taking them to the Region of Trecherous Mists. I recall that in the middle of the Mists, there is a spot where compasses will not work. If I can get them lost is there, it’ll be a while before they show up.
And who knows what lies wait in the Mists…
*evil giggle*
Then again, we can finish the pierates off once and for all if we meet them in the Kontinent of Kold.
Anyways, it’s your call, Canix – you have more expertise in these kinds of matters.
Hello guys! We have now returned with our cheesy warriors! While we’re waiting for thurther orders, I’ve got the cheesies making afew giant cheese pies. ANd of coarse, I’m making breakfast. Does bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits sound good?
I have a plan. Let’s get Skylartooth before he even reaches Museica. Kiwimuncher, bring the Zommer Vaycayshun down on the ocean in the Treacherous Mists to help Necromancer. TMFA, take your cabbage supplies to Spareparts and get some volunteer sailors. Outfit their boats with cabbage guns just in case Maath or Geeometree shows up while the rest of the crew is gone. I will lead the Hydropastrican navy north. We’ll show up later than Kiwimuncher, possibly at a time when reinforcements are needed.
We are getting closer to 300 posts now.
captian! there here! help us!
Sorry, Necromancer. I have to go and defend Spareparts. Don’t worry, the Helichocters will arrive soon, with Kiwimuncher and the Zommer Vaycayshun right behind them.
We interrupt the action to bring you this map drawn by Kagcomix:
TEXT:
Map of Rewthlatickopution
Top (blue label): cave thingy — I am in here
Left (blue): water — duh
Right (brown): docks and such
Center (grey): city thingy
Center left (black square): prison thingy
I have now arrived with all my valient cheesies! Okay cheesy pies attack! Mwaqhahahahahahahaha!
we are keeping them at bay but we need help.I have put a call on the ppp therd
We’ll attack them from behind. They seem to be underwater, torpedoing the docks. It must be Geeometree. We can handle him- the Ferret’s hull is tougher than titanium. Only one problem. Where’s Maath?
Oooh dear… Umm, Captain? I see Maath through this Sugar Spyglass I found. It lets you see much farther, but my news is grave. He’s headed this way, but there’s two other warships with him- I can’t quite make them out, but they’re likely Allgerbruh and Allgerbruh the Second. If I recall my Museica history correctly, thy’re distant relitives of Maath. They must have heard about the fight and come to join. This will be a problem.
*readys pie sling-shot (used in the pie wars)*
wow i can’t believe that map thingy i did actualy got posted.
anyways-necromancer: too bad my map came too late! more plainly: TOO BAD YOU SAILED WITHOUT ME!
i shall *sniff* take the hint that you don’t want me and go retreat to- oh who cares i’m going to hide on some random island with the boat i stole!
>SOBSOBsob
Maath against us, Skylartooth against Necromancer and Kiwimuncher, Geeometree against TMFA… There’s no question now. Museica, for the first time since its foundation, is embroiled in a Pie War.
Never fear, the Necromancer is here!
Okay, some fear.
I’ve been busy. recruiting and such.
1) I’ve just apparated back from visiting The Secret Isle (you guys don’t know about that yet – for a later adventure), and I’ve recruited more sorcerers, sorceresses, wizards, etc. No necromancers though – I’m the only one, verging on darkness but still restraining myself. They’re coming as fast as they can in warships. Whee, Majik!
2) Some of my wizarding friends will stop by The Islae of the LIRs and pick up some recruits.
Pretty good, huh?
245- Yes, but will it be enough?
That’s it.
I’m calling for recruitments.
Take a look at the Random Page, post 298-ish.
245- I know a necromancer is someone who *extremely tacky creepy soundtrack starts playing* CALLS UPON THE DEAD, but what’s the difference between all those other magicians you mentioned?
we working on them.never fear pppers are comeing
sorry for the double post but, spareparts is taken over!
panic help us
geet line he
failer to revice rest of message
tere was supose to be a lot of sape bewteewn the words
*colorful sailor language* Spareparts has been taken?
TMFA, get all your forces, as well as those of Sir Ozlips, into Coontz City and barricade it. Send out an alert to Inventor, too. If either of those cities falls, Chad will fall soon after.
Maath’s coming into range, Jadestone. Fire cabbage guns.
We’ve been strafing cabbage all over his floating island, and Maath looks like he’s turned tail. I think he’s hiding in one of the hydrogen-filled caves that give the island its buoyancy.
Wait… He’s waving a white flag. Let’s get aboard the island and take it over. In the meantime, we’ll send the Star of Qurtv after Allgerbruh I and II. I have a feeling they’ll be harder to beat.
*lowers boarding planks*
All aboard!
249-Heck yes, we are! Check out the PPP4 thread.
254- As you wish, captain. Do you want me to sail after them or come with you?
257- Come with us. The Star of Qurtv is crewed with HPBs (aquatic ones, that is).
So, what do I do?
I am ready and willing to fight the pierates. What do you wish me to do?
*strikes noble pose, and then falls over*
We must go over Maath’s island and flush out any remaining pierates, then attack the Allgerbruhs.
I’ll go with you! My cheesies are ready for anything!
Cheesies: Bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!
Let’s go kick some pierate butt!
What’s going on? Are we going somewhere? *hops in little amphibious water aquatic submarine thingie*
Why don’t we ask the GAPAs to make a new thread?
263- We do need a new thread, but the conflict shows no sign of abating, and we are close to 300 posts.
A suggestion, Gapas. Could you put up a non-open-to-posts thread saying something like this:
SKYLARTOOTH CRISIS
A great pie-rate invasion is threatening the sovereign and completely imaginary state of Museica. If you were ever involved in Museica or Ships’ Logs, the Prime Musers and captains implore you to come back and help fight this menace. If you weren’t, don’t ask. The explanation would only confuse you more.
Should they come to this thread, or to go to Chronicles of Museica?
Either, we should really just post a link from the Chron. of Muse. to here because there isn’t one, though. Whne i hop back over there maybe I will.
258- Aye! Alright then, to Maath’s island! We should also beable to grab all the suplies he was forced to leave behind, and give any shot we can scrounge up to the Star of Qurtv. They’ll probably need it, even if Algerbruh II is afriad to fight and runs, if Algerbruh I gets mad he’ll turn and fight to the end.
Chronicles of Museica needs the most urgent help. We’re doing fine out here.
Allgerbruh II has turned tail. We only have to fight his dad now…
If we manage to defeat the Freebooter Alliance (Skylartooth, Maath, Allgerbruh, Geeometree), we should have a new thread in celebration.
*swings aboard Allgerbruh’s ship on grappling hook*
*slashes down sails so that they cover the deck and trap the pierates underneath them*
*pins the cloth in place with marlinspikes*
All right, crew, stomp on this sail until the lumps stop moving.
Necromancer and Kiwimuncher, how goes the battle against Skylartooth? I know you are in the Treacherous Mists and cannot send many transmissions, but please try to contact us.
*stomp, stomp*
Fizzzzzzzzz! Fizzzzzzzzzzzzzz! I…. Fizzzzzzzzz……am calling from ………Fzzzzzzzzzz……….the Mists! Fzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! Erg! Stop Fizzing! Fz…z…z…z………….z. There. That’s much better. We have no idea what’s going on. The pierates seem to have disapeared in the mists. We’re njust standing here waiting for something to happen. But nothing is happening.
Nothing is still happening.
Still nothing.:sad:
Nothing.
(271) Wowsers! That’s way too graphic for a simple ships cook!
geeotree has been capured!WE are comeing to help!
The Piites and Hydropastricans are also coming. Skylartooth shall be found and dragged in chains before the Museican court!
The war has been going on since Feb 22. Let’s hope it ends soon.
Oh no. I’m getting word that Skylartooth is attacking Crubyon in Crraw! He must have sailed around the Ice Cream Horn.
271-You know…that’s kinda mean…why don’t we just tie them up with super-sour licorice and question them as to the whereabouts of Allgebruh II? Just a suggestion.
OK. Licorice it is.
Ahh, we’re so humane. Which is a good thing, I think.
*approaches the prisoners*
“What do you know about Allgebrug II? Where is he hiding?”
Prisoners: “We don’t know, we don’t know! Please let us go!”
Us: “If you don’t tell us everything you know about him, we’ll make you lick the very licorice with which you’re tied up!”
Prisoners: “……..so?’
Us: “Have it your way then.”
*make prisoners lick licorice*
Prisoners: “YAAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Super-sour licorice. Fear it.
The prisoners tell me that Allgerbruh II has rounded the Icecream Horn with Skylartooth and is now attacking Crubyon in Crraw. Let’s go around the Horn and attack the pierates from the north, driving them away from Crubyon and into the waiting fleets of Dodecahedron.
Aye, that sounds like a good plan. Let us go around the Icecream Horn!
Sail North. Bring Maath’s floating island, as well.
sir,this whole thing strated when necomer whent to get her ship on the 19th of feburay we need to finish up!
We will soon have 300 posts. Let’s try to make that synchronize with the defeat of the Freebooters’ League.
After long and grueling collaboration with TMFA, kiwimuncher, and Lady Bunniful, I will reveal our secret pierate-terminating project;
THE INFINITY PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, how exactly do you get onto a ship? just find one you want then proclaim yourself part of the crew? do you have to fill out complicated insurance forms (or have a møøse do it for you) before joining a crew? are you nominated? or ar there not any set rules, and it just sort of happens?
TELL ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Find one you want, ask the captain, and if they give you permission, go on board. Also, you could declare yourself a captain, but you’d have to build a boat and recruit crewmembers.
We have gotten to Skylartooth’s armada. Luckily, with Necromancer and Kiwimuncher behind us, we will be able to drive them off.
*pie*
Sorry I’m rushing this. I know this should be the grand final battle and all, but I want to get it finished before we get a new thread.
*piepie*
We have cut off Skylartooth from the Eastern Sea. Kiwimuncher and Necromancer are attacking from the north. He has only one way to go- south, and into the waiting hands of the Uranian fleet.
He’s retreating! After him!
Ah, there are the sails of the Uranian fleet in the distance, led by the Answer. They have trapped Skylartooth’s armada and are doughnuting them. Move in, crew! Let none escape! Fire coconut creams!
*piepiepie

Their mast is down!! All move in, now! They’ve got no chance of escape!
*swings onto deck*
This ends now, Skylartooth!
*draws pie cutlass*
En garde.
It’s hard to duel a humanoid crab, because he can stand on two legs, hold swords with the other four, and still use his nasty pincers like maces and/or garden shears. I’ve broken two swords on his shell, and I’m holding him off with a stale chocolate donut. This was a mistake.
The mast fell on his head! Nice shot, Jadestone! Let’s tie him up with super-sour licorice and take him to the Bo Correctional Facility! His armada is fleeing, but the Museican navy is pieing it into submission! What a finale to a thread!
*throws PC her pie sling-shot* Here!! This might work better!!
As soon as both of these comments moderate, we will have a sequel. Fair sailing until we meet again.
YAY!! 300! w00t! *awaits new thread while taping foot and staring pointedly at GAPAs* Please?
