texts from last night's deeply regretted rum venture

[groundrules]

DON'T PIRATE AND DRIVE

o1. Nothing settles the Crossing jitters like a bit of liquid courage — and with pirates, sharing is caring. Maybe you took it willing, under duress or subterfuge, or you completely underestimated the potency of what your esteemed sailor companions style the 'Mother's milk — but you are hereby sloshed. Inebriated. Tipsy. Under the weather. Toasting the gods. o2. Top level with one or more of your character's most philosophical, amorous, or otherwise deeply wrong drunken thoughts or observation. Don't leave an empty comment, that makes the wine gods sad. o3. Comment aroundkeep incriminating evidence. o4. Feel free to make any of your threads game canon, just check with your partner too!

What do you suppose a shark would even want to whisper to you?
'You taste better when you're marinated in your own blood?'

[downswing]

Its mouth brims with secrets.

[incantates]

I wouldn't say the mystery is that deep.
They tend to either fear us or think we go well with a shrimp appetizer.

[downswing]

It wants friends.

[silverneedles]

Unfortunately it doesn't work over text.

[downswing]

Your mouth no longer shapes a smile?

Running from a lady will only make whatever it is you fear worse, love, I suggest you find an alternate plan.

[downswing]

A coward's sanctuary?

[bravelyrunsaway]

What, are you planning to hide under her skirts?

[downswing]

I do not wish a death of a hundred agonies.

I don't think he really needs one, to be honest.

[downswing]

A small child-like body.

[beitangmoran]

Not an obstacle. I speak from experience.

[downswing]

He took weapon against you?

v.

[ Do you really want to give him something to prove? ]

Truly remarkable restraint on my part, thanks for noticing.

[downswing]

Restraint, oversight or failure?

[somebadnews]

I didn't realize how much I was letting you down.
