You are here to meet your crew and decide who does what.

Anyways, mostly kind friends and companions, let me inform you of a little of my research, shall we? It came to my attention thanks to a redheaded bookworm that there is a treasure cove hidden away by a large network of ships that operate in the Black. Nothing they have plundered has ever come back, and it's a good bet it's all there. Fathers, gold, adventure, wishes you name it, a cache of goodies at the nerve center of a web of strength. You want your power proven, Devil? Fine, there's your chance. Everyone gets what they want. Now... who here wouldn't love that?

Ripe for the taking.
We don't know what's out there, 8ut I sure as hell know the laws of the seas.
There will 8e treasure out there.

Avatar
Karl BOT 26-Jan-22 09:55 PM
Karl ignores the strange sound, for now. Now, then, with the only stubborn one out of the way, let's lay out some codes. Karl holds his hand up to his bird, grabbing her as she elongates into a scimitar of sorts. Article one- You will not fight your own, in spirit or blood, within the confines of our fleet. Behead each other on the land for all I care, but we will not tolerate your defiance in dangerous waters. A glare is shot in Vriska's direction. Article two- We will divide by the rule of thumb. In the unlikely scenario that we encounter something without a gold value, it belongs to the ship itself. Article three- In the event one of our own is trapped or in mortal danger, value your own life first. It was their fault they got into that situation. And, begrudgingly, Article four- If we are to undertake a task that takes foresight and planning, we must obtain a vote of at least 6 members out of the current 8 before undertaking it. (edited)
There, the basics for a strong crew, one that you all wish to have I assume. He flicks the sword onto his shoulder, holding it there.

I'd say light is bright, and I'd rather there be a lil less of it, but luck sounds handier.
I won't mind having some extra luck around!
Both luck and light are hard to come by in Mesos, heh.

Oh, wayyy up! Second highest island where I'm from. Air's real thin up there, but that gives my webs more pull! (edited)
Everything's much... heavier down here...
So many clouds too. They're always so far below Mesos. I think it's the air being all thick that keeps them down here?

Oh no, we don't mess with space. Mesos is close enough to it already, and some days it feels like it's drifting even closer.
Everything's up in the sky back home though! Super weird seeing your continents in the ocean instead of above it. (edited)

Hexes, apparently!! And Owls. Owl hexes. The old captain and his funny advisor went on about them a lot but, I... didn't understand it very well. (edited)

Well, that out of the way... We are all people that have lost, and are seeking to fix that. And you'd be damn well surprised as to what you can find out in the sea. So, we should not care where we find it, but we should strive to find what we are looking for, people, riches, knowledge, power, or otherwise, and barreling through anything that stands in our way. And if most of us can do that, then we will have done well to each other. Now that doesn't sound so bad, now does it?

Fine, I'll drop the inspiring flavor, sheesh. In lieu of a better rumor or lead, successfully retrieve what at least half the crew is looking for (A completion of a personal objective counts towards this if they are not seeking something tangible)
Or perhaps two thirds... That's how they do it in New Jersey.
Now, of course, Article four states that if we find a better purpose, I would be more than willing to accommodate.

And so, now everyone has silently...or, otherwise, cast in their votes. The results are in, and....well. I'm sure you all probably already figured, but the current captaincy vote is a tie between Vriska and Karl! Naturally, we will break this tie using the 'ol tried and true method, dick size! So whoever has the bigger dick wins! ...Well, shit. I suppose we need a backup plan...Let's go into OVERTIME! You all (mostly the two captain candidates) have 45 minutes to discuss how you want to go about breaking this tie! If you haven't decided and acted on said tie by then, we will pick the captain based on a coin flip. Good luuuck!

The two captain candidates stand face-to-face with each other in the tavern, with everyone else in the crew looking on. There's a surprising amount of silence for a moment... Before both of them smile and nod their heads, accepting the start of their fight.
Immediately, Vriska takes off at the apparent speed of 8 cars at Karl, and quicky punches him squarely in the face! It flings him onto and across a nearby table, knocking over glasses onto the floor! Everyone looks over at Karl, lying on his back....
Karl blinks, and sits up, smirking. He's holding his cheek, which is slightly chipped... But there's no blood to be seen! He is a statue, after all. https://youtu.be/E5C7yjWVhlM
Banke
Metal Gear Solid Moai head with vine sounds (NOT MINE, READ DESC)

please 1
He quickly gets up again, and leaps off the table at Vriska! In the air, he winds up, and punches her across her face! She falls over backward!
Vriska gets up as well, holding her face...it seems to be scraped a bit by the punch. A bit of blue blood can be seen on her face! Karl is victorious!
Welcome him as your new captain. Your Crew Objective: In lieu of a better rumor or lead, successfully retrieve what at least two thirds of the crew is looking for (Or have them complete their personal objective, if they seek nothing tangible). The tangible things are most likely found in the "Pirate's Nerve Center" described in the Tavern. ...Oh, and have an apple, both of you. It should bring you back to health, and also keep the doctor away.
