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!

It wasn't a shanty, it was country. Bluegrass. Hank Williams.

Hank Williams of the country of Bluegrass?

[biomed]

No no, Hank Williams was a singer. The type of music is called country, more specifically a style known as "bluegrass". If we find a guitar I'll play it for you sometime.

What does a guitar look like? I'll keep an eye out for one, I'd love to hear this music! I'm a bit of a musician myself, though less for entertainment, more for work.

[biomed]

It's a six-stringed instrument, about as long as the floor to one's hip, that you play with both hands. You use one hand to select chords, and strum the strings with the other one. It's beautiful.

What can you play?

[weifinder]

Huh, is that anything similar to a guqin? Or more like a pipa?

I'm personally familiar with flutes of different kinds, blades of grass if we smile about it, and yes, guqin, though I'm not master of the qin.
