Ara Lost in a Fight

Ara Tells All

I went on a pillage with Smarffe. Captain Flood was there too at first, but then he left to do a competition.

I got a brass button. Not sure what I'd do with only one, a nice coat will take many more.

After the voyage I joined Captain Flood to fight some skellies. There was some annoying kid that kept telling us how many more pirates we needed when the skellies would say something like, “16 of us could beat 13 of you.” I put up with him to fight the skellies, but then when it came time and I tried to vote to start the fray, they gave me my money back and said they didn't want to fight me today. Damn undead things!

After the fight with the skellies Captain Flood fought with Starenigma. I didn't actually watch the fight, as me rum mug needed to be refilled. I had told Flood I'd avenge him if he lost and when I came back it was to see that he'd done just that. Only while I was gone the men seemed to have put me up for grabs and I suddenly find myself being owned by Star. I still own Flood though, if he thinks he can get away that easy he's mistaken. You'd think he'd know by now.

I challenged Starenigma to a battle anyway, got lucky and won. Flood was avenged and I think I own myself once more. From what I'm told of Starenigma's skill with a blade however, I fear he may have let me win.
See how close the fight was?

I asked Starenigma if he liked my Halloween outfit, but he said it was too soon to be wearing it.

Mango Fruit Salad: With Orange Slices

This post is in Ara's point of view.
I decided that it was time to grace my crew with my presence once more. They have been deprived of the wonder that is me long enough and I should be cruel to them no longer. Tikao of course had to show off as soon as I got there and won some sort of competition.
Tik wins! Yay!

I then decided to stalk Flood while he was out buying clothes. Unfortunately he wasn't completely out of clothing and was wandering around in rags while he did his shopping.

Tikao then called me to pillage and I was going to tell her to shove it, but for some reason I instead told her to tell the captain, Seavagrant, to job me. So off we went on his mango-fruit-salad-with-orange-slices ship. He was kind enough to pass out cookies, so I nommed on the cookies rather than working on my duty station. They were yummy cookies. When I was done with mine, I noticed others were working instead of eating their cookies, so I helped myself to their cookies as well. The duty report then laughed at me for a few leagues, but the cookies were worth it. At the end he asked if anyone would like to join his crew and I said I would, but Tikao put her foot down and said I couldn't. His fear of Tikao was greater than his desire for me.

Flood cried while I was on my pillage because he missed me. I think he just wants the attention though and any girl would do.
