Brooding-voice-from-the-deck-of-the-other-ship: Can I
please come over?
Tanya: [act]peering[/act] Oh, look :D Rush--
Min: No.
Tanya: But-- [act]points[/act]
Min: NO!
[act]Brooding-voice-from-the-deck-of-the-other-ship turns into Brooding-voice-hanging-from-rope-between-both-ships[/act]
Narrr: You don't expect me to call him that, really? When all the rest of us are so short on letters?
Min:
Yes I do.Narrr: Why?
Min: Because I refuse to acknowledge his presence.
Narrr: And, by your logic, calling him "Brooding-voice-hanging-from-rope-between-both-ships" is doing this?
Min: [act]crosses arms[/act] I'm not arguing with you about it. Remember, I also have power of the mighty
.
Narrr: I'll see your
and raise you a
.
Min: Ha! You hold [strike]no[/strike] power over those buttons. [act]blinks[/act] Drat.
Brooding-voice-hanging-from-rope-between-both-ships: [act]strained[/act] I say...can someone lend me a hand?
Captain Hammer: Hark - is that a voice in need?
Min: :|
Brooding-voice-hanging-from-rope-between-both-ships: [act]more strained[/act] This isn't the easiest way to board a ship, you know.
Swallow: [act]calling back[/act] Just slide over! You're gripping the rope too tightly.
Captain Hammer: [act]knocking Swallow out of the way as he passes[/act] Never fear! My saving expertise is here!
Min: [act]pinches top of nose[/act] Please, no.
Captain Hammer: [act]standing on railing and grabbing rope[/act] It's Hammer Time!
Min: Don't do it. I swear, I will slap you.
Narrr: Being a creature of consistency, Captain Hammer chose to ignore Min, and with a tug on the rope, the...do I
really have to say all that?
Min: YES.
Narrr: Fine! The Brooding-voice-hanging-from-rope-between-both-ships, screamed--
Brooding-voice-hanging-from-rope-between-both-ships: [act]slips[/act] ARGHHH!
Captain Hammer: Hold on! There'll be no glory for yours truly, if you fall to your death, kid!
Brooding-voice-hanging-from-rope-between-both-ships: [act]outrageously[/act]
KID?!
Narrr: --and then being shaken along the rope by Captain Hammer, he slid the last distance and landed in a crumpled mess on the deck. If you ask me, that wasn't a particularly delicate boarding...er...psst. What's his name, now he's on board?
Min: Cecil Dingbat.
Tanya: Uh, she means,
Rushton. Rushton Seraphim.
Rushton: [act]getting quickly to feet, looking sideways to make sure nobody saw him[/act]--
Narrr: But everyone saw that. It was very ungraceful. On the plus side [act]somewhat gushing[/act] you do have a very
manly scream.
Rushton: ...can anyone else hear that?
Captain Hammer: [act]grins[/act] Don't sweat it, kid, we've all been hearing voices. Good thing it's the same voice. If you ask me, it's missing a couple of letters from it's mental typewriter though, huh? [act]taps his head[/act]
Rushton: [act]blinks at Captain Hammer[/act]...and what is with this
kid business?
Captain Hammer: [act]shrugs[/act] You're smaller than me, you're lower in the foodchain. You're either a kid, or a midget. Or one
ugly chic.
Salamander: [act]passing by[/act] Oh...I think he'd make for a very
pretty girl.
Rushton: [act]gapes[/act] I'm not on board for more than a minute, and already I'm insulted.
Min: [act]seems a lot happier[/act] Well, stand up for yourself, Rushton. Don't let Captain Hammer speak to you that way ;D
