    Default Re: Skull & Shackles: The Wormwood Mutiny [IC]

    Mister Plugg looks at Drack's girth and says, "You're about the fattest lizardfolk I've ever seen. That means you like food. Congratulations, you're a cook's mate now, Handbag. Report to Fishguts in the galley. Rosie Cusswell!"

    "Yassir!" pipes up a brunette hafling female.

    "Show Handbag to the galley so he can report to Fishguts."

    "Right away, sir!"
    And the halfling looks up at the victim-formerly-known-as-Drack and says, "C'mon, Handbag. I envy you. You get to be near the food before Fishguts destroys it and turns it all to s*&#."

    She will lead Handbag away to the galley.

    Mister Plugg looks at the remaining lot of recruits. "The rest of you are swabs, and you work for Master Scourge, the Wormwood's master-at-arms. Master Scourge, they're all yours!" and with that he walks away to assign jobs to the riggers.

    Master Scourge is the Wormwood’s boatswain and master-at-arms, and Mr. Plugg’s right-hand man. As boatswain, he is in charge of all activities and sailors on deck, and as master-at-arms, he is responsible for discipline. Master Scourge is a sneering man with a braided beard and a mouth full of gold teeth. His body is tall (6' 1") and thin, and even his long coat and heavy boots fail to give any impression of strength or bulk. He calls out, "You grabasstic pieces of whale s*&% stay right where you are!"

    He walks up and down the line of recruits. "Today is a great day for you. It is your rebirth. It is the day you die as a worthless, plank thumping landlubber. If you think you were a sailor before, you weren't a real sailor. You cut water like a meat tenderizer in a bathtub. You are worthless scum that isn't fit to socialize with a barnacle. But today is the day you can begin to change that. Today is the day that I and your fellow sailors will begin to teach you what it is to be a real sailor ...a gods-damned, steely-eyed killer of the seas ... a Shackles pirate!"

    He continues to stroll the line. "So let's see ... we have Dolly, Sparkles, and Sprawl. Handbag and Selkie are already assigned their jobs. We still have to baptize a few of you others."

    He stops in front of the red-bobbed woman with a curiously happy expression. He looks about, "Looks like this one is happy she died. We did her a goddamn service taking her from the slavery of landbound drudgery. Isn't that right, swabbee?"

    Arashi, how do you respond?
