*as the teammates of the Red team eye each other off, considering whether they be friend or they be foe, a loud 'ARGH!' sound catches them all off balance*
"What in the name of the 7 crooked seas be that?" One pirates asks.
"Reminds me an awful lot of the Kraken, waiting to seize herself some supper!" Offers another.
"Whatever it is, it be gettin a nearer!" Someone cries!
*everyone braces themselves, for the horror that they are about to face*
"Did someone say supper?"
A new pirate steps on board - her stomach growling - explaining the source of the noise.
"It's just I haven't eaten in 10 minutes, and me stomach is just a lettin' me know! Luckily, I keep food on me - just in case of emergencies such as these!"
*rummages in pocket while the rest of her crew try to make heads or tails of this fire-eyed, sword wielding girl that stands before them*
"Ah, here we be! Mmm burgers - how I love burgers!" *proceeds to munch happily*
*everyone is still giving blank looks. Aware of this the girl gives a big toothy food filled grin along with a throaty chuckle, in the process showering a few food specs on those unlike to be a standing next to her*
"Arrr, I be sorry - where are my manners! Would anyone like some?"
No one is real eager to step forward and take a piece of the half eaten, dripping offering - I mean who really knows how long that's been in her pocket.
She shrugs and takes another bite. "The name's Hayley, though my mates tend to call me HungryHayley. Glad to be on board!"
Ahoy maties! Rightio, questions..
Lioness, what is YOUR favourite colour?
Red :D
Aliya, what is your pirate ambition?
My pirate ambition? MY PIRATE AMBITION? ;P to be buddies with the crew and learn how to speak like a pirate!
What is yours?
To become captain of my own ship *dreams...*
[act]While Lilliana and Danger Dan converse in huddled whispers, the other crew members eye Hungry Hayley with wary interest. One particularly intrepid young buccaneer steps forward, brandishing twin knives. But not threateningly. More like she can't quite bear to let them go[/act]
Berserker Sue: [act]only frothing slightly at the mouth, thus showing that she's in quite a social mood[/act] You be Hungry Hayley, ye say? Do ye always eat like that?
Hayley: Like what?
Berserker Sue: ...Hungrily?
[act]It becomes clear that Berserk Sue is perhaps slightly more bloodthirsty than intellectual. Unless this is all some sly farce of stupidity to take the other crew members off their guard so she can underhandedly manipulate and backstab them. But surely not[/act]
Hayley: ...Aye, I do like me food. I always carry a good burger on me if I can.
Sue: Are burgers your favourite food, then?
Berserker Sue, why are your knives so special to you?
[act]Berserker Sue twitches a little, but Lilliana does not appear to be after the knives, only curious about them. Sue strokes the knives possessively[/act]
Sue: Well, lass, ye know these here knives were a gift from me old uncle...before I did him in with 'em, I mean. [act]looks sentimental for a moment[/act] Ye know, they're one of the reasnos I got into the pirating business in the first place?

Hayley: *takes a bite and through mouthfuls* Ye wanna be knowing the reason I got myself into the pirating business?
Why, the allure of treasure 'course! There be more than one hunger a girl needs to satisfy...
But for me - it's generally me belly that needs a filling. *takes another bite* Mmm burgers - how I love burgers - especially ones with meat :nod:
So tell me - why did ye all wanna become pirates?
*looks slightly ill at Sue's comment*
Well um *cough* thats fair interestin'. I go by the name of Danger Dan *shakes hands with everyone dubiously*
Ye know, when I was in th'Italian waters - only wokin' as a deck hand, mind yer - I got t' try lasagne. Nothin' better than lasagne. Could eat it all th' time, that stuff *looks dreamy* Hang on, think I might hav some left... *digs around in clothing a bit and pulls out a container of lasagne*
Anyone want some?

*Hayley launches right in. Everyone looks at her*
What? She offered! Now really, come on - was it even a question?
*eats lasagna happily*
[act]Sue looks up from a quick knife-polish to see lasagna doing the rounds. Pounces[/act]
Sue: [act]around rather large mouthful[/act] Hehe, meaty! [act]gulps noisily and steals a bit more from Dan's hand while he's not looking[/act]
Dan: [act]throws Sue suspicious look[/act]
Sue: [act]quickly[/act] So, Danger Drew -
DD: Dan.
Sue: Nice t' meet you too. So, ye want to become captain of yer own ship? Wot got you into pirating in the first place, then?
Dan: oh, the sense of adventure allured me, plus me love of the sea. ain't she a beauty *looks lovingly over the water* but it really is lots of adventure, being a pirate :D
ye know what i'd do if i got some o' that treasure? i'd buy me a library *dreams* on a ship of course :P
What would ye do with treasure, Sue?
[act]Berserker Sue smiles with lasagna-coated teeth. Danger Dan, to his credit, recoils only slightly. Clearly the years at sea have hardened him to sinister sights[/act]
Sue: Arr, I'd fulfill my greatest ambition and buy me a great ship o' me own - less messy than murdering the crew of an existing one, ye know. Oh, and buy a new headscarf. This red one's gettin' kinda dirty.
DD: [act]peers at headscarf[/act] Well, actually, I think it's in quite good condition for -
Sue: [act]meaningfully[/act] It wasn't red when I bought it.
arr!
I be feeling there be an easier way to may sure we don't walk the plank in this here challenge.
It may be that was can ask questions carefully.
Berseker sue, my favourite colour is black and I wonder if it be yours as well?
Sue: Good thinkin', Cut Lass. Alas, black's not my favourite colour. I prefer a good blood red, or a really nice shade o' purple.
Everyone on ship: ...
Sue: [act]defensively[/act] Wot?
DD: *nudges Berserker Sue and whispers* Ye know what gives me th' creeps? Death, that's what. Scares the hell out o' me. It's unknowable. I reckon anything you can't know is somethin' t' be afeared of. How bout you guys? What you all afeared of?

Minnie: [act]wanders on deck, singing-badly[/act]
Oh, lo is meee, so late I shall beee, [act]pirouettes[/act]
Apologise to theeeee, I humbly--!
Cut-lass: [act]throws sword at Minnie[/act] Cut that out!
Sue: Who the devil be ye, yah trespassing dog?!
Hayley: Why be ye so late!?
Minnie: [act]sings[/act] A story of woe, badgers go to and fro [act]slashes with knife[/act]--
Dan: [act]also throws sword[/act] Can it!
[act]Minnie takes a seat mutinously.[/act]
Minnie: [act]muttering[/act] Just because you lot have the musical ambitions of apes--
[act]is silenced by another sword landing dangerously close to her foot[/act]
Aye avast! Well done so far my cunning crew... I noticed you be working out some crafty questions... A few might even slip under the radar ye cunning lads... Remember, the limit is 5. Ye be warned... Ask more then that and the answers wont count... Even if you have asked all your questions, ye can still answer and be part of this nifty team...
So far the following people have asked the following number of questions:
Lioness - 4
MKirara - 1
Aliya - 3
Firefall - 2
Lix - 1
[act]Sue is still twitching from all the singing. Sue does not like singing. Unexpected noises, like sudden changes in pitch, startle her. When she is startled, knives tend to go every which way[/act]
DD: Well? What you afeared of, then?
Sue: [act]looks mildly embarrassed[/act] Er...singing?
Minnie: [act]sniffs[/act] Nobody who has heard me sing could fear such sweet melodies!
Cut-Lass: [act]fingers sword, eying Minnie speculatively[/act]
Hayley: [act]munching happily on an unidentified substance scraped from the outside of the ship[/act] C'mon, Sue, wot you scared of then?
Sue: [act]mumbles[/act] Well, if ye must know...m' pigtails falling out. It takes so long to get them just right!
DD: What, you mean these? [act]pokes at pigtails[/act]
Sue: [act]clutches at her hair with one hand and brandishes a knife in the other[/act] DON'T TOUCH THEM!

*Kanga comes aboard*
Minnie: And I thought I was late!
Kanga: Arrr! Me peg-leg was playin' up, on account of me spendin' shore leave right on the shore - fishin' for some tasty crustaceans (try sayin' that when you've been at the grog!). A band o' barnicles attached themselves to me leg and argued that it meant I couldn't leave the beach! Never fear, though, I brought tasty prawns for everyone!
*holds up a bag full of greyish creatures, some of them still half-heartedly waving feelers*
Kanga: Now... where be the treasure?
*a bloodcurdling scream errupts form somewhere below deck and everyone stares as the cut lass runs above deck*
sorry there was a SPIDER down there! I HATE those things!!!
Salshing Minnie be there no such a thing as fearful as a spider?
Spiders give me the shivers! Arr, more like screams. However, I be finding cockroaches horrid. Once a lad tried to throw 'un at me. Bonkers. Who else be disliking 'roaches?
