Three inches indeed! You can even measure him! *hands over a tape measure* Indeed. Armor is a good idea if he is to come raiding with us....

*giggles* Indeed we are, dear. We must get you ready for when a raid or some other pirate thing happens. *pulls out a bottle of rum and takes a dainty sip*

*hands the rum over in shock* Captain! Where in the world have you been?

Oh Captain...meet Marvel and Tessa....Tessa has joined our crew, and Marvel...he is only three inches tall but I believe he might be rather useful *giggles* he lives in my pocket most of the time...

Trouble...that doesn't sound very good. In your absence, our dear pilot Sir Eddie has been taking over Captain duties...I believe he would like to go on an adventure in the jungles soon, raid some tribal people, they have the best gold and most likely some new exotic form of alcohol since the rum is chronically gone....

I'm not exactly sure how it happened either....*pulls him out of her pocket and pokes him* I found him like this....and Tessa is quite my polar opposite. She is very good with weapons, and I will likely be yelling at her to stay in bed after being injured during raids also. Like you, I do not hold out much hope that she will listen...*frowns*

Oh Captain....I don't believe we will be stealing from the poor. Mostly finding old forgotten treasure...and if the natives want to share some rum with us, who am I to tell them no? *giggles*

*giggles* You will have to ask her yourself, I am not sure....and he doesn't mind. Rather pliant little fellow, I am always telling him to speak up if he doesn't like something.

He also is dear Casey's sewing buddy. I have not seen her or her ship in a while though around these parts. I hope she is doing well *smiles and flounces at the thought of girls night*

*Jumps down from the mast of the ship* Oh marvel dear, you know you are much more than that to us! And Brielle love, have you seen my static gun? 

I am always telling him that, Tessa! And I believe you left it way up there last night *points to the highest point of the ship* Too much rum last night....

Well then, Captain. We shall find some long gone forgotten treasure, give it to the natives, and have a party with them after. Does that sound agreeable?

He just means we like to dress him up in our free time. Don't worry about it....*hands the Captain a large bottle of rum* I've been saving this for when you finally decided to get back from business! I knew you would be wanting some...*smirks*

We shall see what, dear?

*Growls and starts climbing up to the top of the ship* I must stop leaving damned weapons up here...

*shakes head at Tessa* Oh Captain....that is why you shouldn't leave! We get into all kinds of trouble.....and I think that should sufficiently explain why all the rum is always gone. Strange things happen with the rum....

*Calls down* I swear I only drank eight bottles! Maybe ten! 

*looks puzzled* Why should I do that? You are my captain...

*giggles* Sir Eddie likes the rum....we had karaoke night the other night.....*Flounces her skirts a bit* Tessa. Dear. 8 to ten bottles? Its a wonder you didn't get alcohol poisoning!

I'm not so sure they are alcohol deprived...I think Tessa might still be drunk, in fact.....*frowns* And I always put the orders in. Its just amazing how fast this crew goes through them!

indeed, idiot.. I have never seen it so I missed the joke :P

*pours some rum into a thimble and hands it to Marvel*

*shakes her head* Are you listening? The crew will DIE of alcohol poisoning! No one here except for Marvel and myself knows how to moderate to safe levels!!! *flicks out her fan and raises a single eyebrow*

*giggles* we shall not be dropping you in any bottles of rum, Marvel. And Captain...by not ordering Kegs I am doing my job! Prevention is key! *flounces off rather irritated*

*Thumps back down onto the deck and grabs the bottle of brielle to take a deep swig* Aaah, nothing quite like blissful drunkenness 

*snatches the bottle from Tessa* You have had enough, dear. You haven't been sober in about three days!

*Frowns* I haven't been sober for about eight years

*Raises brow* And you haven't exactly been the figure of sober purity yourself *Winks at her*

*giggles* I may have had a few swigs from time to time to deal with all of you crazy pirates......and Tessa, there is "not sober" and there is "so drunk you start leaving weapons in places you then forget about"....the latter is what I've been talking about for the three day time span *giggles*
