Halloween Mutiny

Arachne

I love Halloween, the whole world turns mad and makes my daddy, Vargas the Mad seem like a normal person. Well, and I love the madness, everyone should be mad everyday. I took a break in raiding candy caches to have a portrait done with my queen captain, Tikao. With one eye closed, she couldn't see me coming up behind her with my sword drawn.

At least after the stabbing she looked more ready for Halloween. Her sorry excuse for Halloween clothes just weren't cutting it.
Tik is a ghost

Seavagrant offered me Halloween cookies so I decided to go join him in some fun on the high seas stabbing others and taking their candy. They had pretty shiny swords though that distracted me. Tikao asked me why I ran onto the blades, but I just couldn't help myself. The moonlight glistening off the blades distracted me. Try to say otherwise and yer entrails will hit the deck.

Tikao tried to warn Seavagrant that I might mutiny, but he kept feeding me cookies. Maybe she should try that sometime. It's hard to stab someone when you're nomming on cookies.

Cheating Pirate

Arachne

I tried to start the night out with a mutiny, but my last mutiny was still on the table so I couldn't start a new one. The boys are trying to outsmart me on this one.
can't mutiny

So I changed tactics and tried to put someone else in charge on my mutiny.
Corn should be captain, cause his name is Captain

I then went to Tikao's villa -where I also live- to see if she was truly dressed for Halloween as the rumors suggested she was. She was not.
Wearing orange doesn't make you Halloween ready

She made some lame excuse about being poor. I don't pillage anymore and I could afford true Halloween clothes, so I know someone that pillages all the time and runs shops and stuff can afford it too.
Tik thinks a black cat makes up for it.

I challenged her to a fight, which she won. Then I ran off to join Seavagrant. Tikao seemed a little angry she won though, sore winner that one is.
Tik claims Ara cheated

Tik accused me of cheating which caught Flood's attention and he quickly demanded clarification. He said I was his and he'd cut out the eyes of any other man or woman that looked at me.

Mad Ocean

Arachne

I started the night off with a nice little mutiny. Every night should begin with mutiny or bloodshed, preferable both at once.
Mutiny!
Dark Horizon talks about Ara's mutiny obsession

I went to Tigerleaf Mountain because I knew that both Captain Flood and Queen Tikao were there. When I arrived however Tikao left to go to Fintan to stalk Lord Luci instead. That made my choice easy and so I stalked the captain of me heart instead of the captain of me crew.
Ara stares at Flood

I found him a furniture shop, but he was in a rumble tournament. Funny how that can work with our strange ocean magics. Every time he entered a match, I'd watch. I'd inform him I was watching and tell him not to disappoint me. Then I'd tell him there was no pressure.
Ara watches Flood

Then came a match I couldn't watch. Again because of funny ocean magic. There really wasn't any pressure on that match.
Ara can't watch

In the end, Tikao opened her big mouth and distracted Flood so that he lost the tourney. I told him not to take that from her and that he should mutiny.
Ara tells Flood to mutiny

Then Flood decided he was going to stab me before he ran off to find someone to job with. I stabbed him back on his way out the door.
Flood wins, then Ara wins

He gave me some strange words as he left that I can only assume were meant to be wisdom.
Flood says he can be pompous because he wears navy and persimmon

The strange words didn't stop with Flood and Vagrant asked me if I liked ostriches. I found all the madness to remind me too much of the isles I grew up on, so I went to bed to sleep it off. Though now that I think of it, it may have been them that needed to go to bed to sleep it off. Perhaps I'll take a nap later to make up the difference.
Do you like ostriches?

Ready for Halloween

One of these pirates is ready for Halloween. Another is trying to be ready by buying a creepy ship. . . guess which one isn't ready at all?
