I Came, I Stalked, I Pillaged.

Pirate Log: Sea Date 27.12.2010

I was invited to some sort of gawk at Izobel party. I did not want to feel left out so when I got there I gawked at her as well.

I then had to go take a bath, though I assure you, it was not because a gawking party made me feel dirty. Upon my return there was sniffing and comments about me smelling better. I'm sure the jobbers thought we were mad, and they'd be correct in that assumption.

Gravee lead was already on a pillage upon my return from my bath. I had asked her to wait for me when she announced it before my bath but dirty pirate money does not wait for me to get clean.

After we docked Jumonto realized the skeleton in the cage at the bow of the boat was his father. His father had apparently upset Gravee some time in the past. Jumonto was in denial about the condition his father was now in and kept trying to talk to the skeleton. It should have been his clue when the skeleton did not move or reply, but he insisted his father still lived and had simply lost weight.

Voxdei showed up about that time and attempted to greet everyone, but overlooked the one jobber we had and more importantly, Jumonto.

After having to spend time comforting Jumonto, I decided to stalk Tikao and stab her. When I arrived at the island in question however I found she was hiding in a stranger's house so I couldn't do her harm. I also noticed on that same island were Ms. Big and Izobel. I stalked them both.

I then joined Lord Captain SeaVagrant on his nightly pillage upon his fiery ship.

We engaged The Widow Queen in a battle and the rules were placed before the crew on exactly how to handle the situation. I assure the Lord Captain someone wouldn't listen and would take out the Widow Queen. Despite me being right, we won anyway. And that should have been cause for celebration, but two of members on board did not want to celebrate, but brought down the morale for everyone by making a big deal about the inability to team according to orders. I won't mention any names, but they were two of the men on board and neither was Reezoo. (because he was the one on The Widow Queen. The other teaming on the bk was Tikao, but I didn't tell on her.)

It should be enough to win

After the pillage was over I retreated to my town house on Tigerleaf Mountain to put my money in my chest. It was there that I was stalked by Izobel and then Hazy. Well, really there was a break between the stalking where I went to Dragon's Nest to make toys. My ADD kicked in while Izobel was visiting and I forgot I had a quest and left her alone in my house.

At least I did not pick on anyone's name today. There was enough of that going on yesterday.

What's In a Name?: Happy Birthday Izobel

Pirate Log: Sea Date 12.26.2010
Ramina

I noticed a pillage was ending or some type of voyage, I assumed it was a pillage, but did not ask. One of the jobbers, Fiveforfight joined the crew as a full member. I was among those that welcomed him of course, but I was feeling cheeky and with a name like that he was just asking for it. Lord Captain Sea Vagrant went away for a bit shortly after the new guy joined so he missed most of what was said. I asked Fiveforfight if his parents were drunk when they named him. This sparked some fun and friendly conversation between myself and the new guy as well as a couple of crew mates. I mentioned how Fiveforfight had an ego and was violent. He didn't understand why I'd assume that, but it's all in his name. He thinks he has the strength of five men and is looking for a fight.

Jumonto asked me if I was accusing his parents of being drunk at his naming at one point, but I assure him though I guessed his parents were from some exotic location, I didn't not think they were drunk.

I also made the comment of how Gravee's name makes me think of death and thus is also a violent name. She just laughed and I sent a heart her way.

Fiveforfight was challenging me by this time and assuring me he could beat me very easily. (Without knowing who's alt he is, I don't listen to such bravado.) I would have challenged him, but I was getting the feeling he was taking it all a little too serious so instead I slyly started to clam it down without letting on I was doing so. Lord Captain SeaVagrant returned about that time and thus gave us all a nice out. I assured him I did not pick on anyone in his absence. He of course did not believe me and others were quick to inform on me to the captain. Someone said I picked on everyone. I then corrected them and reminded them all I did not pick on Sassyer because I was too afraid to and if the name was any indication, she was sassier than I. And I reminded them I had to pick on the new guy, hazing is a time honored tradition for new members of any group. And I had to pick on Gravee because I considered her the senior officer in charge in the captain's absence and thus I had to share the riches with her as well.

Fiveforfight again said he'd beat me in sword fighting, and I said he wouldn't because I'd take off my corset and bounce then he'd fold and crumble like any woman loving man would. He told me I was inappropriate. The Lord Captain told him to get used to it. (Five years and I haven't been reported yet. . . am I tempting fate?)

Lord Captain SeaVagrant then distracted myself and several others by taking us out on a pillage. We pillage every day, I just don't write about that everyday.

After the pillage we decided to hang out in the flag hall of Sea Change. On the way there I stopped at Arachne's shack on Jubilee to steal some of her clothes. She owes me for killing me and stealing everything I had. Well, before that I did a little love shower, my first for Sea Change. The Bandits of course knew what was coming when I announced in flag officer chat I was doing one and cheered even before I hit them with the poe I was throwing. You'd think that'd hurt? I received one doubloon and one poe back during the Love Shower. First time I'd ever gotten a doub thrown back at me. (I think Arachne did a Love Shower for Brink of Dawn one Christmas where she threw doubs instead of poe. Love Showers started with Ramina all the way back when she was in IC.)
Love Shower

Anchovia was all sly after the Love Shower and threw 69 pieces of eight at me, then fled before I could throw any back. I used to do that to people too, brought back some memories. Happy ones. ♥

In the flag hall
Pandrosos in a little dress
We lingered in the ballroom of the flag hall for a little bit. For some reason we often linger in that room. Pandrosos entered the hall and she was wearing a talbard as a mini dress. I commented on the sexy look and Yahreali said that the Lord Captain recruited based on sexual appeal and that he then couldn't figure out whey Izobel was recruited. Izobel was in the corner reading some poetry so he was sure she didn't hear him, but I then informed him that I write about everything that happens and Izobel likes to read my logs.
Yah puts his foot in his mouth

We switched room because SeaVagrant told us that Gravee would be putting up a local tourney, but she failed and made it ocean-wide. It was drinking so I did not join it, though I might have if it'd truly been local. Any of us who throw parties have made this same mistake at least once. I've given away nice things to strangers that were meant for flag mates before.

Yahreali continued to pick on Izobel and was obsessed with saying there was sexual tension between the two of them and that she should just give in. I was distracted and don't know exactly what was said prior, but Iz was saying there was more of us and we could beat up Yahreali, but he was sure we couldn't, so I challenged him. I do love to stab people. He tried to say he'd pulled a muscle and couldn't fight, but I didn't back down so he drew his sword. Then when he was laying in a pool of his own blood with me standing over him with my bloody sword he informed the others that we tied. They didn't believe him.

Hazy joined us, though I think she was there more for the tournament board. I reached out and touched her and she petted me back.

It was Izobel's birthday, but I did not have adequate warning so I didn't have anything special for her. I did have an extra wardrobe and asked her, she had none at all. So I went home to fetch it and then carried it all the way back to Jubilee to give it to her for her birthday.

As I was saying my farewells for the night, I realized that Yah and Iz were on a date, but then Yah told dumped her during the date for Lakina.

Greatly Missed: Never Met

Missed, but never met

And yes, I realize I used the wrong minor.
