Night 1

Forcing Kate to walk the plank (after a brief struggle with Epoignosis and Hedgeowl) was good for a laugh, but as the sun sank slowly over the horizon, the crew realized it was time to get serious, and stop laboring under the delusion that they all got to pick individual ships.

“We’re all in this together,” Kate would have said if she were still alive.

“Not me,” said INH. “I have an imaginary submarine.”

“No you don’t” corrected Epignosis.

“Hey guys, what are we doing out here anyway?” Mongoose asked. “I mean, I appreciate a good sail as much as the next person, but what’s the dealio, yo?”

“Yeah, what’s our mandate?” was Hedgeowl’s unoriginal contribution.

Well? What is it?

Kate has been lynched. She was Captain Nemo

Arr...seems Nemo's underwater sailing vessel had a hole in it.

Words Alison would never say:

"There's too much tomato on my plate."

"I'm not interested into going to that museum."

"I do not want to pet that animal."

"What’s the dealio, yo?

Why didn't Kate's power save her from being lynched? Is it because she missed the vote?

Rest in peace Kate

Posted: **Thu Mar 27, 2014 6:04 pm**

I hereby claim Kate's vessel as my own, despite the host repeatedly mentioning that we don't have our own ships.

Posted: **Thu Mar 27, 2014 6:06 pm**

Is our host against private ownership? Why does he want to take our vessels?

There might be mutiny for that bounty.

RiP Kate!! Argh, sorry to miss the vote, too many things at the same time. i am torn between exploring new worlds and plunder, but since "exploration" is mostly about plunder i am going with the more honest answer i think.

Nope.

Is it because she didn't choose the submarine?

I think I'll let you guys speculate about that.

Posted: **Thu Mar 27, 2014 6:24 pm**

From the way the night post was written, I'm guessing that Horatio did not vote (his vote is worth 2). It's written more like it was a legit tie.

Oh really? Well, on my modern state of the art goddamn submarine, I'm sipping white wine, reading Kafka, listening to Beethoven's Fifth on a gramophone, and dipping a strawberry in a motherfucking chocolate fountain. So all of you peasants can kindly go and do whatever it is that peasants do.

Because Kate struggled against the other two vote-receivers. I feel like if Kate had 2 points (versus their 1 point each) he probably wouldn't have mentioned it.

Ye think the Captain would reveal someone with just a wee bit o' storytellin'?

Posted: **Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:39 pm**

Not sure. If only one person hadn't voted, I don't think so, but that's not the case.

Posted: **Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:48 pm**

I'm not sure sussing this person out would be wise though. I am not very passionate about this line, but I'm glad we are finally talking about sooomething.

Day 2

As dawn broke over the bounding main, the group of embattled sailors was once again unable to agree on a purpose for their expedition. Just as the argument reached its highest pitch, it was interrupted by the great splash of a huge whale leaping out of the water and sending the ship rolling. Many stumbled, some fell. One man retained his footing, though, a gleam in his eye.

With nary a hesitation, Captain Ahab seized a harpoon and waited, his keen eye focused on the wake of the whale as it came around for a second pass. As it crested, he plunged the metal dart with all his strength into its flesh, and with a roar of agony, the beast turned and slunk away into the murky deep. Were it not for the brave actions of the Captain, lives would surely have been lost.

All was not completely rosy, however. In the ensuing brouhaha, Hedgeowl was found with her throat slit, crammed below decks. Sorry Hedgeowl.

Hedgeowl has been killed by Wolf Larsen. It is now Day 2. You have 24 hours to find the murderer and hang him high.

Posted: **Fri Mar 28, 2014 8:21 pm**

Rest in peace Hedgeowl, and I hope you won't mind if I add your frigate to my fleet.

Posted: **Fri Mar 28, 2014 8:23 pm**

I caught a Mongoose on me deck! Drown the critters!

Posted: **Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:49 pm**

I believe Mongoose is the right call here. Women are bad luck at sea. And her boat would look a lot better with a turnip-and-crossbones flying from its mast.

Posted: **Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:54 pm**

Welll.... at least you remembered I'm not a dude?

but seriously, all three girls in a row? A little tacky, eh.

Posted: **Fri Mar 28, 2014 9:55 pm**

What's with the rush for Mongoose? Neither of you have given a legitimate reason. There's roughly four possible answers to this. 1: You all legitimately suspect her. 2: Both of you have found info on her. 3: One of you is bad, and the other legitimately suspects her. 4: One of you is bad, and the other has info.

Voting Epignosis, since I didn't say that yet actually. And covering my bases since he voted for me, so am trying to invalidate his vote by saying his name. Already said TH's name. No need to say anyone else's!

Night 2

The crew grew unruly, jumping up and down on the ship deck and demanding action. Even though the host was tired, they would not be appeased. Epignosis and Mongoose were thrust into the middle of the deck, and told to fight to the death. Being good little sailors, they complied. Mongoose lost, naturally, because she is a GIRL!

"Oh," said insertnamehere.
"Which way do we go now?" said Turnip Head.
"Don't ask me," said Epignosis. "I'm no navigator. And anyway, you just tried to kill me!"

Mongoose has been lynched. She was Ahab.
You have 24 hours to do stuff.
