I don't know, I wasn't able to add one to the last memento I created.

[quinnr]

So, guess who got a Joker! card?
I so happy.

(It lets you keep an unlimited number of cards, stops cards from automatically turning into passes [gives you unlimited time to trade for matching cards], and turns those cards into First Class Passes that allow you to get dropped off at any co-ordinates, instead of just normal Outpost Stops Only passes).

[Magentawolf]

I don't know, I wasn't able to add one to the last memento I created.

I'm pretty sure there's a list of attributes, and that's it. I was told that attributes will only show up if you give the item to someone else, and not if you keep it yourself.

I tried testing with an alt, and never got a prompt, so I dunno. I might create a prototype and try giving it to one of you two. Been trying to get some concrete answers, but no luck; could be I need to prod the forums.

The Epic of The Zomboat.

I've chunked dialogue options together where timing didn't matter to make it easier to read. If you don't see orange and blue in a given chunk, you don't have to read it to get the zomboat story, but it's got some nice bits with Carlynne in it, so you should at least give them a look. Gods, I love her so much.

Spoiler: Zomboat, Part 1 (click to show/hide)

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin shambles into town, cautiously. He makes sure there's no runaway motorcycles to run him over this time...
Offline Male Human drake steps into newhome from the jungle taking a seat on the bench near the fountain
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin shambles in drake's direction.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin's eyes go wild, and his servo arms get a dangerous look in the eyes they don't have. "B... B... Braaaiiiinnns...", Glyph moans a bit, as he slowly advances.
Female Human Casi sighs "No eating the other contestants." before heading off to a bench of her own.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin sighs, not getting the reaction he had hoped anyways. "Aw, come on, he was ready to jump! Jest a bit longer, ah'm sure of it."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin wanders over. "I'm Glyph, who're you?"
Female Human Casi says "Casi, and sorry but rules are rules."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin perks up and stares between Glyph, and Casi, "Braaaiiinnns?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin raises an eyebrow. "I weren't gonna eat him, just scare him a bit! Well, maybe gnaw a little bit, if he let me... but no more'n that!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin waves to Rucin. He remembers him from... somewhere...
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin returns the wave of Glyph, asking, "Don't I know you from somewhere?"
Female Human Casi hmms "Zombies will be zombies..."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin nods. "I think so. I vaguely remember something about... something. Darn, my memories going these days!"
Female Fennecmorph Tiger Fox Krys Snowfur lurks behind Carlson.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin spots a clannie. He goes to lurk behind her, all stealthy like.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods. "Yes...well, just in case, how's your arm and/or jaw doing? for some reason, I've been repairing a lot of Zombies lately..."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin finally realizes. "Aha! You were the one with the Water Bomb! Ah just checked on the fountain on mah way here - all the fish are gone."
Female Fennecmorph Tiger Fox Krys Snowfur isn't allowed to be lurk'd behind! Tails are as much early-warning systems as whiskers.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin just blew any chance he had of lurking anyways. He's been distracted! "And it was the jaw, thanks fer that, it was a right good job!"
Female Fennecmorph Tiger Fox Krys Snowfur snickers, turns to Glyph. "'Lo there, you." she nods.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan frowns and snuggles Carlson. "Can I help?"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin blinks, and nods. "Ah yes, so I was. I wonder where they could've gone... Thanks; I did my best!"
Male Human Carlson smiles. "Y'already are, I'd say. So, anythin' productive happen? 'r some shit like that?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin gives Krys a hug and a scritch. "Always good to see yah, Krys! How've things been, eh?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin, to Rucin, "Ah figured it was jest the janitor cleanin' out the fountain. Maybe they swam back to the ocean, though."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin wonders. "I thought it was fresh water in the fountains, but they still might eventually lead out to the ocean...Now I'm curious!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin thinks for a moment, clearly letting his imagination run away with him at the possibilities of the somethin' somethin' that could have been added. There's the obvious, of course, but there are other possibilities...
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin is carried away by his imagination! In fact, it hoists him up and carries him right out of town. "Bloody 'ell!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin shambles back into the outpost, covered in blood. He done shown HIS imagination what for - it wasn't going to be carrying him away again any time soon!
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan crawls over to Carlson and leans on his chest. "Glad I could help."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin walks back up to Rucin. "Well, I had originally jest supposed they might of swam through through the air, ya know, like a bird, but your idea makes sense too. Hmm... maybe we should investigate? Sounds like it might be a good time!"
Male Zombie Zed Pace drags himself out of the jungle with a grumble. He wipes his mouth off on his sleeve.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan offers a small, distracted wave to Pace.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan responds to Rose. "Likewise. New here?"
Female Human RoseRed "going on 12 days. so yes I guess so."
Male Zombie Zed Pace offers his own distracted wave. He's a bit preoccupied with shoving what looks like his oft used coffee mugh into his pack. "You know...it'd be easier if they didn't run."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods out of his calculations. "Yes; we should do science to that fountain! I'm sure that between us we have enough bits to build a submersible Zombie-blob! just attach an eye, a few pairs of hands, maybe a foot..."
Male Human Carlson blinks both eyes open and smiles at Pace. "Hey, you. Sorry 'bout th' other night."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin grins. "Ah didn't even think a'that! I figgered we'd have to find some sort of shrink' drink or something, but you're right! There's an easier way!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin waves gleefully to Zed Pace. He's always pleased to run into fellow zombies, and he's never seen this one before. "Heya!"
Male Zombie Zed Pace blinks and looks up. He squints and then swallows, shoving the mug a bit more forcefully into the bag. "Er...no big deal. You wouldn't be the first to be a bit disturbed."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods, and grins widely with teeth that don't quite match up. "We shall construct the greatest undead abomination this island has ever know, and become famous for it! I just really hope we can ensure that we get all the pieces back."
Male Human Carlson shakes his head. "I wasn't all that bothered, really. Had someone t'meet up with, is all." He grimaces. "I was late."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods to Pace, and then mentions to Glyph that he's a Pirate officer and all-around great guy.
Male Zombie Zed Pace walks over and takes a seat in front of Carlson. His eyes drift to TJ but then he's back on Carlson and he's grinning. "Well that's good." He shakes his head free of distraction and waves to the other zombie. "Hi!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin asks what his name is. "What's his name? Also, should we head to IC, or do ya suppose they have a fountain here too? They... they do seem to appear whenever someone needs a fountain..."
Male Human Carlson pokes Teej in the side and grins at Pace. "Heard y'got a li'l somethin' out of it, too."
Male Zombie Zed Pace's eyes instantly glance away. "Er...yeah you can say that..."
Male Human Carlson grins wider. "Alright, then. Have it yer way. How long've y'been here, Pace?"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods, and points over to a fountain that may not have been there a minute ago. "His name's Pace!"
Male Zombie Zed Pace starts counting on his fingers, muttering to himself. "Er...wow about 7 years...maybe more like 10."
Male Human Carlson raises his eyebrows, impressed. "Long fuckin' time, then."
Male Zombie Zed Pace nods, grinning brightly "Best ten years of my life for what I remember of them."
Female Human RoseRed hugs TJ " sorry if I'm a tad foreward but I like touch, just ask Carlson about the FB." giggles
Male Human Carlson beams. "Well, then, tha'ss absolutely great!" He eyes Rose. "I didn't get touched none at all, what're y'talkin' about?" He grumbles a little and looks back to Pace. "Anyway... I can only wish yer next ten are even better, mate."
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan smiles and returns the hug. "That's quite alright, I like touch too..."
Female Human RoseRed looks over at carlson then smirks. " Oh let me fix that, come here."

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin pulls out his needle and thread. Let's git 'er done! "So, let's see..." He digs through his bacpack to pull out his butchery knives. "We each gonna contribute an eye?"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods. "Sure, I don't see how that would hurt! Share the experience, you know?"
the wizard of odd pops some meat in a skillet. first off were gonna need a lion. luckily for all of you i happened to kill and butcher one earlier so we can spare that detail
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin uses his fine knife to dig out one his eyes, and throws it on the cloth he set out. "We'll want to throw in some fingers, ah think, so it can crawl around if it gets stuck, yeah?"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin thinks, then nods; "But maybe we should save those for later in case we still need to use them in the meantime?"

Male Zombie Zed Pace drums his fingers on his arm and laughs a bit under his breath. "How long have you been here?"
Male Human Carlson frowns. "Now yer makin' me work fer it? You come here! An' bring that 'un with you." He points to Teej. Carlson smiles back at Pace. "Hardly any time at all, 'specially compared t'you. A week, maybe. Pro'lly a bit more..."
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan pulls Rose over to Carlson and Pace, smiling. Good times.
Male Zombie Zed Pace looks up at TJ and opens his arms up. Zombie hug?
Female Human RoseRed pulls TJ down with her as she takes a seat on Carlson's lap. "See theres love" cuddles TJ
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan gets up, and huggles Pace. Everybody's hugging everybody else! Hug orgy!
Male Human Carlson laughs lightly and gives Rose a little squeeze.
Male Zombie Zed Pace wraps up TJ in his arms and tugs him into his lap. He grins happily and rests his chin on TJ's shoulder. "That's better."
Male Human Carlson gives Pace a grin.
Female Human RoseRed " only if our shoes are off." snuggles into carlsons chest. " you boys continue your chat, I think I'll stay here."
 A voice booms down from the heavens, "Just get shagging already!"
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan squeaks at the voice, and clutches Pace.
Male Human Carlson stares at the sky, eyes sparkling. "God has spoken, le'ss go." He gives them all his very most determined look.
Male Zombie Zed Pace pats TJ's head and gives him a kiss on the cheek. "Carlson...if you listen to every voice that booms from the heavens...well you'll be very very busy on this island."
Female Human RoseRed giggles maniacally. "tisn't the Gods and you know it, now sit still."
Male Human Carlson says "But I like that voice. It gives very good advice."
The voice booms, "Don't forget to bring RoseRed!"
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan curls up with Pace. "STOP IT VOICE, YOU'RE SCARY!"
Female Human RoseRed "The gods are strange here"
Male Human Carlson frowns. "Okay, maybe th' voice can suck it. Teej, y'alright?"
Female Human RoseRed " thats enough play voice, you;re scaring the boy." nuzzles Tj's Cheek


Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin nods. "Good idea, we'll throw those on last! Now, for the bulk of the body... what do you think?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin pulls a piece of crap meat out of his bag. "Ah figure for the structure we can just use this."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin thinks... "Hmm... maybe we should just sew the eyes to a hand, actually. That could crawl through the pipes pretty well.."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin ponders. "Well, I was thinking that we should use a foot or maybe even an entire leg. Depends on how small we want it to be."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods, "But it might not be able to swim, in case we need it to come back up."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin taps his foot for a bit. "Your right, I'm sure. I think an entire leg would be a bit much, though. What if we use two hands and a foot on the end. It'll look just like a regular fish that way."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods; "Then it could wiggle its toes for propulsion and flap it's stubby little wrists! So cute! Allright, whose foot?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin frowns. "We might end up a bit short on hands though..."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin thinks. "Well, do ya think we should split hands, do one of each, or leave someone with two hands fer the sewin? I reckon the other guy can donate the foot."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin hmms. "Well, let's see...are you any good at sewing? If not, I suppose I chould do the sewing and give the foot."

Male Zombie Zed Pace wraps his arms protectively around TJ. He looks up at the sky and sticks his tongue out. "Hush! My game is fine without your help!"
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan sighs contentedly. People are loving him and everything's okay now.
 The voice whispers, "Sorry for booming scarily. But seriously, can we see a little skin, here? Throw a brother a bone."
Male Human Carlson laughs, reaches over, and pats Teej's head. "Lookit all th' love yer gettin' here, kid." He eyes the sky and points North East. "Bordello that-a-way."
Female Human RoseRed smiles and shakes head. " silly boys and their parlour trix."
Male Zombie Zed Pace nuzzles the top of TJ's head and raises an eyebrow at Carlson. "Seriously? Yer gonna take orders from the sky?" He laughs. "S'probably a member of my family on a microphone." Still.....

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin picks up the chunk of meat and looks at it, his eye firmly attached to the front. "Gosh, that's weird!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "Ah'm lookin' myself in the eye, heh."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin stares at the mini-meatling. "Uhm...what'd you do that for?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says. "We're usin' the meat as the body, it's not good for much else, right? And big chunks are always harder to reattach later."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin asks "Yah got a chainsaw?"

Female Human RoseRed pulls Carlson back down to a cuddle. " now can we resume the normal play of events." smiles at Zed. " Thank You for being so sweet"
Male Human Carlson laughs. "Nah. It can piss off. Y'got fam'ly here?" He smiles at Rose, then looks back to Pace.
Male Zombie Zed Pace winks at RoseRed. "I need to make up for the lack of pulse somehow."
Male Zombie Zed Pace looks at Carlson and nods. " A mum, dad, and dad/brother."
Male Human Carlson pauses. "Wha' wassat last one?"
color=grey]Male Human [/color]OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan is just cuddling and listening. Contentment achieved.
Female Human RoseRed blushes and shakes head. " I'm so rude, my name is Rose, you can call me Rosie ,Red or Cat. or really whatever you like. and you are." offers a hand to Zed

Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods a bit; "Fat does float; good thinkin. Even if we won't be able to feel the body. Erm, no...I don't think I've had a chainsaw for a while."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin hands Rucin his own chainsaw, then props his leg up on the edge of the fountain and rolls up the bottom of his bunny suit pant leg. "Ah'd say we don't need the heel, but aim fer where ya think is best."

Male Zombie Zed Pace pets TJ's hair and laughs. "Well...he's not quite my dad. And not quite my brother. So he's my dad brother." He shakes Rosie's hand. "Pace. PC. Or No please don't eat me. I prefer Pace though."
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan hms? And waves belatedly to Quinn. "Hello and thank you..."
Male Human Carlson shrugs. "Not th' weirdest thing I've heard, I s'pose..."
Female Human RoseRed giggles at the zombie humour. " Clever, very clever... and am I mum then MAster Pace?"

Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin gulps, then revs up the 'surgical tool'. He makes a clean cut just about the ankle...'clean' if you don't count the flying bits of Zombie blood.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin yells "Woo-eeeh, that stings!" as his foot goes flying off.


---If your not reading the asides by the other folks, I understand. You should start doing so now, Carlynne is great--
Male Zombie Zed Pace rests his chin on TJ's head and smiles. "My mum's name is Carlynne. Queen of the Pirates and mistress of all things badass."
Male Human Carlson blinks and looks to Teej, then back to Pace. He bites back a laugh.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan headtilts at Quinn. "Me? Oh, thank you. Let me know if I can do anything for you at any time!"
Female Human RoseRed " ......" "....." " are u having me for a lark, if you aren't she sounds spectacular."
Male Zombie Zed Pace shows off his clan badge. "Leader of the PRATs. My dad's the founder. I wouldn't joke about pirating." He glances at Carlson and smirks. "Somfing funny, mate?"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne emerges from a bush "Ded samwan sae me naem!?"


Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin goes to fish his foot out of the fountain, but seems to be having a bit of trouble with his balance. "Ah hell, you get it, yah still got all your limbs yet."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin mutters, "Uh, sorry," then holds his own arms forward and turns his head aside. "My turn..."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin blinks, then jumps up and snatches the foor from the water. "Got it!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin takes the foot, and quickly sews it to the back of the meat chunk. Perfect! He flexes it a bit.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks back at him. "Okay then, let me show ya how its done!"


Female Human RoseRed snuggles into Carlson some more trying to find a comfy angle to view everyone. " Oh MY GODS AND GARTERS!"
Male Human Carlson bites down hard on his lip, visibly shaking with the effort of not cracking up.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan squeals and latches onto Pace. "AGH! Oh, wait, Hi, Carlynne."

---Aaaand, temporary Storyline merge---
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin holds up a finger to Glyph, saying, "Hold on; two of my bosses are here, it must be something big; I'll be right with you." He wanders off, still bearing the Zombie's foot.

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin glares at him. That foot was attached to the whole device! And it's only got an eye, not like it can... Hmmm... that's a good point. He should throw an ear on later.
Male Zombie Zed Pace's eyes narrow. He can tollerate a lot of things but not laughing at his mum. He then blinks and rubs TJ's back. "Relax darling. She likes you."
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne walks from the bush, straightening her dress at her legs and kicking a bit of toilet paper from her heel. She walks over to Pace and Patio and some other folks, asking "I 'eard me naem? I was 'avin' a right gaed shite, tae"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin tries to hop over, but instead falls flat on his face. "Oof"
Male Human Carlson calms down enough to speak, a grin stretching his face. "She's fuckin' amazin', she is."
Male Zombie Zed Pace looks down at Car and grins. "This fine lady thought I was joking about you."
Female Human RoseRed bows to Carlynne. " pleasure to meet you mother Pirate I am please to make your aquantince. My name is Rose Red."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin saunters up to Car, still carrying half of a zombie submarine, greeting her with, "Hello boss, is there anything sneaky that you'd like me to do for you today?"
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan smiles at Rose. "Great." His attention turns back to Car. "We're terribly sorry about interrupting you."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin starts to crawl over to the others. Bloody bastard. Walkin' off with a man's foot and eye. The nerve of him!
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin's eye blinks at Carlynne
Male Human Carlson pats Rose's butt a few times. "Up with y'fer a bit."
Female Human RoseRed rights herself
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin gets a strange feeling that he's forgetting something...and notices the eye glaring in his hand. "Oh...oops..."
Male Zombie Zed Pace chuckles and whispers into TJ's ear. "Yer so polite to her...remember what I told you about fear, hun."
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne first nods to Pace. She then sneers at RoseRead "I"m right fackin' real, lass. An' me name ain't mothar Pirate, ets Pirate Queen. Anywae.." She turns to Patio now "Tha's right fine, lad. I was daen anywae. Th' Diplomat gad all 'ee paid far"
 A voice from the sky whines petulantly, "Why isn't anyone shagging?!"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne finally addresses Rucin "Nae lad. Anless y've gat paisaind sammiches, aye?"
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan smiles and nods. "...yes?" He looks at the sky. "Go yell at the Bordello, you. No sex in the outposts."
Male Human Carlson scoots out from under Rose and stands. He smiles. "'m goin' out fer a walk. An' pro'lly a drink. See y'all later." With a sigh and a wave, he heads off.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin helps Glyph to his...foot, and drags him over to Car. "Aye, ma'am. No sandwiches today, I'm afraid. Although I'm working on a sneaky Zombie Submarine!"
Female Human RoseRedturns to to Quin. "pleasures mine miss Quinn. I'm happy to be a clan mate. is it you I've to thank for the nifty badge?"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne asks "Like, sabmarine sammich?" her head is clearly in one place.
Male Zombie Zed Pace giggles and kisses TJ's cheek. "Thatta boy."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin gazes at the foot, and shakes his head. "Nope, like a underwater boat!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin salutes. He heard her say somethin' about being a queen, and he thinks that's what you do with Queens. Not entirely sure on the details, though, never met royalty before.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin adds "Or like a fish!"
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan waves G'bye to Carlson. "Later..." His attention turns to Pace. "Am I doing it right?"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne purse her lips "Can yee et et?" she nods to the saluting Zombie. Good.. Corpse, he is.
Male Zombie Zed Pace laughs and nods, ruffling Terrence's hair playfully. "Mmhmm. You were all tough yelling at the sky."
Female Human RoseRed Huggs Quinn and thanks her profusely then turns to The Queen once more " Beggin your pardon Pirate Queen Carlynne. Meant no offence, it is the way we greet elders in my home to call some one mother is to give them the respect of the goddess."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "Well, ah suppose ya could, but ah have an actual sandwhich in mah bag that would, ah think, be a better choice..."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin thinks, before shaking his head. "No, I don't think it's safe to eat, especially since it's made from part of me own body."
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan blushes a bit. "Well, there's nothing there to be threatening... If it were a giant sky-shark yelling at us or something, I would panic. But no need to fear empty space..."
Female Human RoseRedlooks at the sky " what if its an Invisible giant sky shark TJ?
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne examines RoseRed carefully. "Gaddess, yee say? Well then, iffin' yer gain' t'be treatin' me like a Gaddess, I cannae camplain" she straightens up slightly. She's a Goddess now.
Male Zombie Zed Pace chuckles. "Still nice to see...maybe I can toughen ya up so I don't make you faint like last night." He kisses TJ's ear and giggles a bit. Sky shark.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan hrms, thinking. "Perhaps, perhaps..."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin pulls a wet paper bag out of his pack. "A... gift fer the Queen. Goddess. Ah suppose. It's brain mash and liver." He offers Carlynne the bag.
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne sniffs at Rucin "Why cannae eat yee?" she turns to the other zombie "Livar! I feckin' luv livar!" she makes a greedy little 'give me' gesture at the bag. Wow, she's getting treated just swell today!
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin hands the bag over. He ate a whole pack of Kittybikes on the way to town, and doesn't really need it anymore anyways.
Female Human RoseRed Looks to Pace. "you're kidding. I came here and all I could think of was that my students got out of their Poetry Midterm."
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan straightens, suddenly intrigued. "Really?"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin shivers, glad tht the queen's attention has been diverted. "Soo...shall we continue?" He holds out an eye in offering.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin nods. "Okay, jest hold yer hands out..."

[GlyphGryph]

Spoiler: Zomboat, Part 2 (click to show/hide)

Male Zombie Zed Pace mmhmms. He tosses his head, sending hair flying and points to Car. "Oh she can tell you all about it. I was a wreck, no memory of who I was or what I was..." He pauses. Did that ever change? He shrugs, ah well.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin snatches the eye, and puts it on the ground along with the rest of the submarine.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin revs up the chainsaw dramatically, ready.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan smiles distantly. "So...there's hope..."
Female Joker Kitty Cat Quinn chuckles, "Sounds like we got a good bunch this time..." She steps a bit closer, remembering something, "Rose, Terrence, would either of you like rooms in the Clan HQ? We've got plenty of unused.. and I can get them decorated however you like!"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin blinks. "Hey; don't put it on the ground, you'll get dirt in my eye!"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne takes the bag and shoves fistfuls of liver into her mouth. She doesn't realize she's being talked about. She's eating liver.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin sighs. "It's goin' in the water, it'll be fine!"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin sighs, holds out his arms with limp wrists, and turns his head aside. "R...ready when you a-are..."
Male Zombie Zed Pace smiles down at TJ. "Well of course there's hope...you can't be here and not improve..." He muses to himself. "And you'd look adorable with kitty ears..."
Male Human Carlson re-enters, looking slightly refreshed, and rather tipsy. He makes his way back over to the group and just plops himself down.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin leans over to pick it back up and dust it off- and goes flying, of course, as he puts weight on his no-longer-there foot. His revved chainsaw arcs through the air, as if in slow motion...
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan nods and walks away, a bit out there. He's pulled out of his daydreaming by Quinn. "Huh? ...Wait, rooms? You would do that?"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne tosses a bit of crap meat over her shoulder. Bouncing it off Carlson's knee. She's only in this for the livers. Screw meat. She eats noisily and messily. Slowly she scoots toward Patio.
Female Human RoseRed smiles at Quinn. " I'd love a room"
Male Zombie Zed Pace no longer has arms full of TJ. He sighs and catches the crap meat that bounces off Carlson, popping it into his mouth.
Male Human Carlson picks up the meat and sniffs at it. He makes a face, and politely tries to hand it off to Pace.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin is too busy holding his remaining useful eyelid closed to notice the chainsaw flying through the air.
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] leaps up from behind a nearby bush and screeches in Terrence's face, "OOOGA booga BOOGA BOO!! Ye skittish kitten!" He guffaws, pleased with his wit.
Female Joker Kitty Cat Quinn laughs brightly, "Of course!! If I had my way, everyone would have a room! There's a whole section of the HQ set aside for my.." She frowns at Jacques. She was talking to him!!
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne turns away from her piles of liver to see Jacques. She smiles excitedly at him, mouth full of organs. "Mmnhylvv!"
Female Human RoseRed sighs at carlsons inebriated state and digs in her pack extracting a vial. " Drink this it'll sober you without lifting the Euphoria" holds out bottle/
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin watches as the chainsaw lands harmlessly on the only empty patch of ground in this crowded corner of the outpost. How improbable!
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan just blinks at Jacques. "If you don't mind, I was in a conversation. Now then!" He turns back to Quinn. "About those rooms?"
Male Zombie Zed Pace blinks and then laughs. He laughs and laughs. "Looks like kitten's gotten over you Cap'n"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin sighs, reaches over, and sews the eye properly onto the submarine. He was hoping it would cut off Rucin's hands, it would have been dramatic. Ah well! He dusts off the eye. "See, good as new!"
Female Human RoseRed startled but pleased at TJ's bravery.
Male Human Carlson stumbles up and scowls at Jacques. That was not okay. He politely ignores Rose to just stare at Teej. "Tha' was fuckin' great!"
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] shrugs and licks Terrence's stomach.
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne swallows loudly. Patio didn't freak out! She rubs her chin for a moment, scheeming.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin works his way to his knees. "Okay, hands out now, come on!"
Female Joker Kitty Cat Quinn nods, "Ya.. rooms. Anyone in th'Clan can have one. Just let me know whatcha want in it!"
Male Zombie Zed Pace stands up, dusting himself off. "Told you there was hope..." He tosses his hair and grins happily. "I taught him that." Suuuuure you did.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin scoops his chainsaw back up, and resumes revving it dramatically.
Male Human Carlson inches over next to Teej and stares at him. "'re y' really Teej? 'r a 'poss'er?" He narrows his eyes with drunken suspicion.
Female Human RoseRed To Quinn. :Something purple and cats, I love cats!"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne, having had a lot of practice in the sport, climbs Pace with ease. The exposed ribs help. She does this sneakily. Once on Pace's shoulder, she plans her leap.
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] hms. That's not a bad question. Would the real Terrence have reacted like that? "Pace, this man is a posser!"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin shuffles over to Glyph, and resumes the position. "Third time's the charm, right?" He mutters nervously as he looks away.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan can't feel the tongue through his Hazmat suit, and looks at Carlson, smiling. "I'm Teej. Don't worry." He looks back at Quinn. "I'd like it warm and cozy. That's pretty much it."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] cackles. "I bet ye like it warm an' cozy."
Male Human Carlson grins. "Well, good. Love you," He murmurs, and trundles around to stare at Jacques.
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne makes a running leap from Pace's thin shoulder onto Patio's thin shoulder. Damn these boys need to eat. She barely makes the landing, grasping desperately to Terraces' collar. "Nar! Feck!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin swings his chainsaw! RrreevvvvSHRKCKRBRZZZ*kthwooom* Both hands going flying off in beautiful arcs, landing on other contestants! Perfect!
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan is startled by that, but recovers, picking Carlynne up and setting her on the ground. "You're going to hurt yourself doing that, Queen..."
Male Zombie Zed Pace rubs his shoulder. Ow...she's fecking heavy. "Oi mum..." He looks at Rosie and laughs. "You think I'd be used to this by now..."
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne has a good chunk of what was once Patio's shirt in her hands. She tore his collar a bit and she grunts "Oi! I wanted a seat thar, I ded!"
Female Joker Kitty Cat Quinn scribbles herself a note, "Purple an' cats for Miss Rose... warm and cozy for Mister Terrence. Got it!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin glances at Rucin. "Well, go get 'em and bring 'em back, then."
Male Human Carlson snortgiggles at Carlynne. "Yerra silly li'l thin', aren'cha?"
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] shrugs. "Wull, I still think he's a posser. But then, I was suspicious of him from the start. Oh, I hear things."
Female Human RoseRed shakes her head and smiles fondly at Pace "strangely , you all work together." she says taking a looking at the assembled contestants
Male Zombie Zed Pace looks at the drunk Carlson. "You don't wanna be doing that mate...trust me..."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin keeps his gaze to the side, obliviously saying, "Whenever you're reay; just go for the wrists..." He opens his eye. "Huh? Oh!" His hands start skittering back toward them.
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne spits at Carlson "Yer a stupid beg facker, ain't yee?" she cackles at him maliciously
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] snarls at Carlson, "An' yer a silly li'l rookie with a ridiculous haircut an' poor taste in boytoys."
Male Human Carlson blinks at both Carlynne and Jacques. "I dunno whatchoo said, but I assume i'was offensive." He nods as respectfully as he can to Carlynne. "An', uh... Ow. I do need a haircut."
Female Human RoseRed "alright thats the end of drunkard enduced hostility. Sorry Carlson luv, you'll thank me when they don't keel haul you. forcibly makes carson down Sobriety Tonic
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan frowns at the pirate couple, moving in front of Carlson. "Hey. That's my man. Don't mess."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin scoops the hands up and sews them to the side. He pulls the tendons and muscles out the side a bit, to stretch them over the meat and give the whole thing a bit more integrity. He yanks some muscle and tendon out of his own stump as well.
Male Zombie Zed Pace thinks RoseRed is a smart cookie. He nods to her and lifts Carlynne onto his shoulder. He freezes and looks at TJ, eyebrow raised. "What's gotten into you?"
Male Human Carlson spits most of it in Rose's face, convinced he's trying to poison her. "I'm DYIN'! DYIN', HERE!"
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] puts his hands to his cheek. "Ooh! Ooh my! The kitten has claws all of a sudden! Tha's his man! Ooh dear! Call the constables, someone's bein' rude!"
Female Human RoseRed" I am so so sorry everyone he just needed a refresher. oh stop that Carlson just a drop is enough if I made it. "
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne sneers at Patio, saying loudly "Look at yee, Patio, anly graen a spine when y'v a dick en yer arse t'sappart et!" she spits into the dirt in front of him "Tha's what I thenk af yer sae-called man!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin works diligently until it is complete. "Ahhah! My piece de resistance! Or whatever ya call somethin' as awesome as this!" He chuckles. "Well, OURS, I suppose! Couldn't have done it without ya, right?"
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] prances about in mock horror, fluttering his fingers and gasping.
Female Joker Kitty Cat Quinn grins at Terrence, "Looks like y'all got things handled... I'm gonna get t'work on those rooms!" she waves with hand and tail, humming as she leaves.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan smiles at Carlson. "You alright?"
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne chuckles at Jacques. She joins in his flailing around, wiggling her hands over her head like some kind of flowery interpretive dance
Female Human RoseRed says " by Quinn,"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin remembers something at the last minute, cuts off one of his ears, and sews it on before throwing the whole thing into the fountain with a plop. "Hah, ah'm just like that Von Go guy, heh!"
Female Human RoseRed looks contritly at Carlson " I'm really very sorry. I just couldn't let you get killed by The Queen."
Female Joker Kitty Cat Quinn pauses, rushing back and handing Rose, Carlson and Terrence a cookie each. Then she grins again and runs out through the gates.
Male Human Carlson blinks. "'m fuckin' fine." He grins. "Thanks fer carin'."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] stops dancing around and says solemnly to Carlson, "I'm sorry ye're offensive, as well."
Male Zombie Zed Pace sucks in a breath and sets Carlynne down. He sits on the edge of the fountain and chews his thumb nail distractedly.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks around the fountain. Gives a kick of his foot. He closes his other eye to see a bit better. This was the best bloody idea ever, that Rucin fella was a genius. First the bomb, now this? Amazing.
Female Human RoseRedmunches her cookiw quietly feeling guilty.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin blinks. "Oh, that's clever, that is. Be sure to warn me if you hear anything. Okay, now for a practice lap around the fountain to get my bearings..." His arms flail slightly as his hands start flapping, pushing the sub in little circles.
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan smiles. "I'm gonna go look at the clan HQ, okay? G'bye. Be polite."
Male Human OverEmotional Terrence Jonathan slips out.
Male Human Carlson waves Teej out, smiling. "Well, then."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] is suddenly distracted by Rucin. "Rooce, what the feckin' feck have ye done now? Why have ye--- yer arms --- why?!"

[GlyphGryph]

Spoiler: Zomboat, Part 3 (click to show/hide)

Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne calls to Rucin "I'm right shar tha' sub es edible, et es!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin kicks a bit harder. "Lets get into those pipes, right?"
Male Human Carlson casually wanders over and plops down by Pace.
Female Human RoseRed walks over to Pace and breaks the nibbled cookie in half offering it to him. " Mind if I sit awhile?"
Male Zombie Zed Pace is nearly chewing through his own thumb at this point, so distracted is he. His nose twitches and he looks up at Rosie. "Can't eat cookies...but fanks..."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin Hmms disappointedly as the mini-sub flips itself over, still spinning in sideways circles. "An experiment in stealth and maneuverability, Cap'n! Imagine what we could steal if we could use even the tinies pipes as an entrance!"
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] waves at Rucin as if casting him out of mind. He comes and stands behind Carlson. "I hope ye're about ta be polite," he mutters through clenched teeth.
Male Human Carlson mumbles, "'m always polite, so fug off."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin, now standing again on his one good leg, looks to Chirac. "Ah cut them off. Ya should have seen 'em flip through the air. It was great!" Glyph tries kicking less hard, and just focuses on stearing instead. Let Rucin do the flapping.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin pays more attention, and holds his arms still. The sub begins leveling out, then makes a full lap without any issues. "Allright; time to dive!" He announces gleefully as the Zomboat begins powering towards the pipes.

Female Human RoseRed thinks for a bit then removes the zombies hand from near his mouth. " then chew this instead." puts cookie in hand
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne looks through the corner of her eye. There's a very nervous Insurance Salesman adjusting his tie behind her "Ah.. Mistress Carlynne? I'm here for my... appointment?" she rolls her eyes and asks the group "Anywan gat a news papar?"
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] snarls at Carlson, "Feck yer feckin' face, lad, if ye say that ta me again ye'll feckin regret it somehow. Ye're not always polite, yer a pig an' an ass, so shut the feck up."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] points at Carlson, "Yer not helpin' me good friend Pace right now, so ye'd better change up fast and say something that he wants ta hear or go the feck away, now."
Male Zombie Zed Pace lets his mouth be moved and looks at the cookie. He holds it if only to keep his hands busy. He grumbles something under his breath and snaps the cookie in half, chewing on it and spitting the crumbs into the fountain.
Male Human Carlson huffs and rolls his eyes. "Yessir, whatever y'say sir." He nudges Pace some. "You'n'I need t'have some talkin' time, sometime. Soon, preferably. Alone." He smiles. "Tha'ss all."

Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin tries patting himself down in attempt to find a newspaper for the Queen, then realizes that he can't. "Sorry, ma'am," he says, before returning to his piloting duties.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin realizes this isn't the way fish do it. "No, wait, YOU stear, ah I power!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin kicks a typo Gremlin, and goes flying. Fine, he'll just stay down here. "Pipes straight ahead, captain Rucin!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin strains his ear. "Ah hear... ah hear... some sort of pumpin' sound."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods. "Allright; that sounds like a better idea." He loks worried at the new comment. "Should I steer toward the sound, or away from it? Can you tell where it's coming from?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks around. "What the hell is with all these crumbs blocking mah vision!? Argh, and its gettin closer! Cap'n, ah think we're getting sucked in! Should we go with it, or full power away? Decide quick!"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin declares, "Away! I'll try to brace us against the walls if we get any closer."

Female Human RoseRed " I can't heal Zombie flesh Master Pace. So try to keep it a tad intact, kay smiles sweetly
 The Insurance Salesman coughs into his fist, attempting to the the Pirate Queen's attention again. He murmurs "You know, I paid half up-front for this!" he taps his watch at her. Carlynne sighs.
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] says coldly to Carlson, "Yeh, he'll talk to ye long and hard. Some other day. Why don't ye clear off? Ye're not wanted."
Male Zombie Zed Pace growls at the nudge, probably because he's hungry and Carlson looks like he's dancing around with a sign saying "I'm made completely of meat!". He drags his attention toward Rosie. "Fanks miss...nothing stitches can't handle."
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne says "Awright, get en th' fackin' latrine an' let me pet me boots an." The Salesman grins and runs into the outhouse nearby. She says to Jacques "Luv, I 'ope yee 'preciate what I dae far thes clan" she slides on a pair of black boots
Male Human Carlson smiles and stands. "Right, then. 's been lovely chattin' with y'all." He turns and leaves, humming some happy tune.
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] mutters at his retreating back, "Arsehole." He fishes in his Bandolier and comes out with some Pretentious Jerk hands. "I been savin' these, Pace. Ye want 'em? ye can pretend they're Carlson's. Which ain't hard."
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne walks awkwardly on stiletto heels into the outhouse after the Insurance Salesman.
Female Human RoseRed for the first time understands the grouchy behaviour..oh hes hungry..... she looks through her magyk bag and pulls out the ingredients she was going to use for her necromancy and hands them to Pace. " Here you go luv, you ned it more than this Witch.
Female Human RoseRed" should be at least 3 of every vital organ in there."
Male Zombie Zed Pace takes the human hands and what looks like could be a human heart. He snatches these and is soon crunching away, blood bursting and bones snapping. He growls like a feral and devours the flesh happily. Well...he's probably happy. He's only growling now
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] pats Pace on the back, keeping his hand well away from Pace's mouth.
 The smell of six days of re-fried beans re-emerging wafts gently out of the outhouse.
Female Human RoseRed steps back from Pace frightened but keeping the brit stiff upper lip/

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin kicks his foot as hard as he can! Just keep kicking, just keep kicking...
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin spots something. "Straight ahead, cap'n! Pipe with no pump sounds ahead!"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin pulls the submarine along the pipe walls with his severed hands, and manages to pull them into the relative safety of the quiet pipe. "You know, maybe we should've put a flashlight on this thing."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin realizes this is, in fact, incredibly true. "Ah guess we're relying on your sense of touch and mah hearin' for now..."

Male Zombie Zed Pace picks up another human heart and tears into it before sighing. He eats a bit slower this time and takes time to slurp the blood from the organ. "S'divine..."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] sighs. This is not the greatest moment in PRAT history. His right hand man is eating hearts to ease depression. One of his crew is going to kill himself in a gruesome way in the sewers of New Home. And his wife is shitting on a Salesman.
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] lights a cigarette and gulps the life-sustaining nicotine gratefully.
Female Human RoseRed swallows thickly trying to not look away. She wants to be friends but now realizes a huge risk... shes alive and he isn't...she takes a deep breath I can do this, she tell herself..
Female Human RoseRed says " You feeling better luv?"
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] mutters, "I swear, some days, if I had just a small boat an' six days provisions..." He trails off and looks at the horizon wistfully.


Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin is slightly uneasy about this. "Well, shall we forge ahead?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin grins. "Onward!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin pauses. "Wait a minute... that sounds like... someone flushing a toilet?"


Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne emerges from the latrine a few minutes later. The boots are gone. The Salesman isn't with her. She is counting out fifty cigarettes in her hands, cackling greedily.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin waves his stump-arms at his captain, and begins pulling the zombie craft slightly forward on his fingertips. "You tell me, you're the one with an ear on board."
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne walks up to Jacques, offering him twenty-five. "'ere, luv." she smiles warmly up at him
Female Human RoseRed turns from the feeding Zombie and hails the queen " sucess in your venture?"
Male Zombie Zed Pace looks at Carlynne and half laughs and half tries to keep from wretching. He then looks to Rosie, ducking his head. "Er...yeah...I'm good."
Male Human Contestant Thor Thafrij groans in his sleep under the bench. He farts and mutters, "Not now, mother superior, the nuns are watching..." then resumes snoring
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] takes the cigarettes and stares down at her. "Ah. This... Er." He fiddles with the cigarettes. "So, did that feller pay..."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] rolls his eyes and adds to the list: another crew member is dreaming about refusing sex with a nun. This is a dark day to be a pirate.
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne shrugs "Dunnae, I tald 'im I'd shite an 'im fer twenny five ciggies ap frant an' twenny five th' dae af. Sae I ded, bet then I kelled 'im an' jest tak all 'is ciggies." she nods, proudly "Sae.. dan't use tha' latrine, aye?"
Female Human RoseRedsmiles at Pace and hand him a oil wrapping skin for the left overs and a damp towel for his face. "good, now clean yourself up. Even zombie Pirate Princes need to look their best in a moment of triumph"
Male Zombie Zed Pace blinks at Rosie and wipes his face with the offered towel when he would have just as readily used his shirt. "Fanks..."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] thinks for a bit. There's something very wrong with that plan, but he can't think what.

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin shrugs. "Sound really carries down here. It's like... a whole 'nother world!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "But we're playing too cautious! This is gonna take us all day! Let's Goooo!" He begins kicking them down the pipes.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin suddenly develops a suprised look on his face. "Uh, I think we might've run into...something. Oh, nope, just a ring of scum or something. That kick pushed us right through."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin calls out, "Nicely done, Ma'am!" His sincerity is, as usual, questionable, but at least he's trying.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "So where do ya suppose we are now? It feels a lot more... open..."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin shrugs. "When we lost touch of the sides, I lost the only useful sense I had. I have no idea where we've gone."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin kicks around a bit. "So... uh... where to, cap'n?
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin thinks. "Up?"

Female Human RoseRed says " no worries, now pack up the scraps and congratulate your mum.""
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] considers. Surely... that middle part didn't need to happen, if the end part happened the way it did?
Female Human RoseRed says " I better scoot myself.... a pirates triumph is no place for a school teacher. Have fun celebrating. rose leans in closer for the next bit. oh and do tell the sub boys they found the Ocean.""
Male Zombie Zed Pace blinks and nods a bit. "Er...yes ok."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] stretches. "This is has been a very weird day. I'm going ta go sleep now.
Female Human RoseRed says " by Pace it was fun playing Pirate."
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne realizes what Jacques is thinking. She tells him "I shat an 'im 'cuz et was fanny"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin smirks, and says, "Sure; up!" In secret, he steers the ship down instead.
Female Human RoseRed jaunts off sadly
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne nods to Jacques. She says "Ave a gaed sleep, luv!" this was, indeed, a weird night.
Male Zombie Zed Pace waves to Rosie as she goes and thinks she would have been a great pirate. Ah well. He looks over at Carlynne and pouts. "Did ye really shite on that guy...that would have been damn good meat..."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] sighs. "Yeh, there's nothin' funnier than shittin' on folks..." But... He has a strange sense of ennui. "If Rucin comes out o' the sewer, tell him ta put his feckin' hands back on before he goes into the jungle."
Male Joker [color=brownBastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac[/color] slouches away.
Female Midget Pirate Queen Carlynne sniffs. She nods to all and leaves as well. She has four more clients tonight.
Male Zombie Zed Pace decides he better leave too. He's caused enough trouble for one night.

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin begins thinking about all the things it could be. A giant fan? A breathing sea monster? Some letters?
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin feels something swim past his foot. "Ah think ah I just felt a fish, too!"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin looks confused, but declares, "Keep trying to go up!" In secter, he turns the sub up; he doesn't want to go near a Fwoomp.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "Kickin', capn'!"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin sighs in relief. "Is the sound getting any further away?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin kicks at full speed! They are racing through the water now.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "Ah think so, capn'."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods; "Good, good,--OW!" The sub has suddenly rammed into something, hard. A ringing thunk can be heard a short distance away.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin tries to be helpful. "Land ho?"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin sighs. "Apparently so, Mr. McGriffin. I wonder what, though. I'm going to try something..." More metallic thumps are heard from somewhere nearby. "Do you hear that same noise on the sub?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin nods. "Yep, yep."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin tries to hop over to the sound and falls on his face. Again.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods, "Good...well, let's go track it down." He begins hunting for the origin of the sound.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "Tell me when ya find it, ah'm jest gonna... lie here for a bit."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin runs back, and says, "Come with me, please," he gives Glyph support with his legs, providing that Glyph will have to be his hands for now.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin holds on to Rucin's shoulders. "Now we're like some sort of bloody land-sub! Lead on, capn'!"
Offline Male Vulcan Consulting Detective Spock pulls out a knife and scraps off bits of bark from the sapling. He put the samples into 7 colour-coded vials.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin shrugs, almost tumbling Glyph off. "That's one way to look at it. I think we're getting cose, though." Thump, thump... It seems to be coming from a nearby grate over a runoff chamber.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin says "Would you please pull that grate off for me?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin kneels down. "Yep, on it!" Heeeeeave.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin the grate bars bend, and it goes flying off. "Phew!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "Ah think ah pulled a few muscles there, though!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks down. "Huh, theres a little metal door under the drain... let's jest open this up..."
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods, and climbs down the open grate--or, would, if he had hands. As it is, he ends up just falling into the little pit. "Hey, there's a pipe down here, and I feel it move with the tapping!"
Female Human Casi goes about inspecting her new sword.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks down. "Come on, ah want ma foot back, are we down there?"
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods, shouting back up the ladder-hole, "Yeah! All you need to do is lift this cover here!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin tries to climb down, and promptly lands on Rucin. Shaking himself off, he lifts up the cover to reveal! "Ah can see me! Ah can see me!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin takes the Zomboat gently out of the water, and plops onto his arse, eagerly cutting threads to take the pieces of his foot off.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin grimaces, "I can see you, too; and you're a bit heavier than I thought. Say, could I ask you to sew my hands back on?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin stuffs the tendons back in, and moves his foot around. Beautiful!
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin pops his eye back in, and begins working on re-attaching Rucin.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin twitches his fingers in excitement.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "I gotta say, Rucin, this was quite the adventure! Heck, I didn't even realize NewHome had a sewer system like this! You ever want to do it again, just let me know - we've learned some important lessons this time around, ah think!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin carefully reattaches the tendons and muscles. The bone'll fix itself eventually, but he sinks a couple screws from his pack to set it in the meantime.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods. "Next time we'll lhave to use a flashlight...And a fish!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin puts the finishing touches. "There ya go, good as new! Well, ah'm exhausted after all that, ah think its off for a quick kip for me! See ya 'round, Rucin!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin's servo arms finally wake up and come out to help him climb up the ladder. Even with all his limbs, ladders were never something he was able to do on his own.
Male Alien Elementalist Sergeant Rucin nods, and waves farewell. "It's been an enlightening experience!"

Summary: Me and Rucin make a submarine out of pieces of our body to explore the island pipeworks. We don't get very far. Carlynne does a poo on a salesman, and I guess some other stuff happens.

Spoiler: Failboat, Post Zomboat (click to show/hide)

Female Human RoseRed Chucks her butter knife at Jacques. " Quiet yourself Pirate or so help me I'll wrap you up for the watcher!"
Male Human Malund smiles and looks up at the sky, " It does really work with her cur-" looks up stunned and smiles, "Just dont wanna try and make you mad", smiles and laughs feeling a little more confident, "It would be worth it if she didn't kill me or never speak"
Male Human Malund"to me again if i tried" sits on the deck and smiles
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac chuckles at the butter knife. "Ooh, watch out lass, them things are dangerous!" He grins.
Female Human RoseRed pouts and sits herself on a barrel far from either male. " For your information it is harmless. It's a fake."
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac shrugs. "Prolly no worse than a real one." He looks at Rose. "Would ye like me ta leave ye two alone?"
Male Human Malund walks over slowly and puts a hand over Rose's, "Smile please," puts his head on her shoulder and turns to look up at her, "Turn that cute little frown into a beautiful smile"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac sighs and shakes his head.
Female Human RoseRed " No I would like not to be hounded about Mal's liking of me! I happen to like talking to you Joker, even if it can get a bit infuriating if you're in a foul mood." smiles at Mal " I'm not mad luvy"
Male Human Malund laughs softly and stands, "It's frustrating but it is his way, besides I didn't think you were that mad I just wanted to make you laugh is all" puts a hand on the back of her neck and rubs slowly, "just take a deep breath what he says isn't a bother"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac lights a cigarette. "best way ta get a lass ta smile," he comments, looking out to sea, "is ta feckin' do somethin' ta make 'em smile. Funny, or sweet or shite like that. Not lowerin' yer head like some feckin' puppy an' askin'."
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac blows a smoke tetrahedron. "Everythin' I say is a bother ta someone."
Male Human Malund laughs, "Just how I am old man, only time I have confidence is when something really is life or death"
Female Human RoseRed " you didn't see him and Carlson go at it last night. It was insane!" giggles at Jacques sweetness
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac blinks. "Malund? An' Carlson?"
Male Human Malund looks down at Rose, "besides, as long as she is smiling I'll smile" rubs her shoulder slowly with one hand looking for any knotted muscle from the days work and working it out"
Female Human RoseRed " no you, he insulted you while drunk called you peg leg. I was sure that was you." begins to doubt her memories of Pace and the insane Pirate Crew. I was so sure. you're the only bastard Pirate I know."
Male Human Malund smiles and sits behind Rose setting my head softly on her shoulder and still massagaing, "sound like something worth seing"
Female Human RoseRed " I met the most incredible zombie boy yesterday... he was so sweet... but now that Lord Joker tells me he doesn't remember I'm not sure I remember correctly.... his name was Pace. Zed Pace."
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac spits into the water. "Oh. That. No one was 'goin' at it.' He was talkin' too big fer his frail rookie boots. Wasn't bein' charmin' to me Clan."
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac nods. "Zed Pace, nice guy, me right hand man. Everyone loves him."
Male Human Malund smiles, " sounds like a foolish decision on his part"
Female Human RoseRed's eyes grow wide "Oh and I also met this midget Pirate Queen she was so amazing shat right on some man and ate raw liver.... IT WASN'T A DREAM"
Male Human Malund laughs and adjusts his position, "Yeah she is a real spitfire"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac laughs. "Course it wasn't a dream, lass. This is Improbable Island. Tis all real."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin was there too! Well, most of him.
Female Human RoseRed smiles excitedly! " good I was afraid I was going batty. Had I known Pace earlier I'd have petitioned for pirates raiding and terroizing. They seem like good people."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin notes that since we're talking about the Pirates, Rucin was ALSO mostly there.
Female Human RoseRed smiles widely " Mr. Glyph did you find the ocean? I told Pace you would."
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac shakes his head at the memory of Carlson. "As long as Her Up There an' that Caveman feller don't let us fight each other, there's gonna be big talk from clueless rookies. Nuthin' worth even talkin' about, rilly."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin shambles out onto the deck, and pulls out his pipe for a smoke.
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac barks out another laugh. "Good people! Lass, I like ye, but I'm not sure ye'd enjoy bein' in me Clan."
Male Human Malund smiles, "Sparing does sound like an interesting prospect"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin thinks. Puffs. "We found the sewer. The fact that we could swim into the sewer from the fountain is actually a bit worryin'. But I think we at least found a route to the ocean. And then maybe every outpost on the Island. We gots future plans!"
Male Human Malund slips Roses knife out of her pocket and examines it
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac looks over to Glyph. "Glad I ran into ye. So Rucin didn't drown or get crushed in that ridiculous thing ye slapped together?"
Female Human RoseRed mutters "laughs at Joker. " Good Sir you've no idea how fun I think your clan is. I just don't belong there at this point in my life.""
Female Human RoseRed " Good thing to hear mr. Glyph"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin leans on the edge of the boat, looking out over the ocean. He likes it out here. He wonders if the Pirates have a boat. He could see himself enjoying a spot of Piracy... heck, his own clan leader fancies himself a pirate, heh.
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac shrugs and grins. "Wull, if ye ever feel ye're ready, come in an' apply."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks at Chirac. "Well, all that was in it of 'im was his hands and an eyeball."
Male Human Malund slides his fingers across it and frowns, bends a bent part of the blade proper and slips it back into Roses pocket
Female Human RoseRed stands and bows " I'll consider that a formal invitation master joker." smirking
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin is slightly bothered by the fact that the Pirate can apparently read his thoughts. That's not good. Shit, he can probably hear him imagining Carlynne- phoo, no way! He shooes that thought out of there right quick.
Female Human RoseRed " I do hope you got yourself patched up alright.
Male Human Malund smiles then almost falls into her butt as she speaks, "Whoa forget I was back here!" picks himself off the floor
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac smirks back. "Sure, ye're welcome ta apply. Whether ye'd get through the actual initiation process is another story."
Female Human RoseRed swats Mal and continues to attend to Mr. Glyphs report.
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac smiles at Glyph. "Do we have a boat? Ha, if ye only knew!"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin adds. "So I guess he only really had ta' worry about the crushin, and ah did a good job keepin' us away from the pumps and fwoomps and thumps, ah think. The ear was a last minute addition too!"
Male Human Malund looks at the pirate, "if i joined would I be able to find my way to a proper sword" looks up as he is swatted at, "Ow what did I do?"
Male Human Malund smiles at the zombie, "Sir you are quite the interesting character"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac says to Malund, "Ye'd get a sword when ye could handle a feckin' sword."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin glares at Malund. That rookie better get his colors in order right quick, or he's gonna give him a piece of his mind. Or take it. He takes another puff of his pipe.
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac says to Malund, "yeh, why do ye keep changin' yer voice like that?"
Female Human RoseRed cocks her eyebrow at Mal and his absurd question." "Mr. Glyph have either of you thought about the prospects of finding the FB through the fountain?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin adds. "Who needs a sword, anyways? What good are they? All ya need is a bit of elbow grease, a good pair of chompers, and maybe a chainsaw for when ya need to make a submarine outta your own limbs."
Male Human Malund laughs, "I could really use one" smiles at the zombie, "taste the power of the rainbow"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin raises an eyebrow. "FB?"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac says to Glyph, "Bit of a one-track mind, are we?"
Female Human RoseRed cocks her eyebrow at Mal and his absurd question." "Mr. Glyph have either of you thought about the prospects of finding the FB through the fountain?"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin was mostly thinking about the fact that he leaves his 'voice color' on when he goes back to to to doin' actions. Bloody annoying.
Female Human RoseRed " fail boat"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac pokes Rose. She got caught in a Time Blip.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks to Chirac. "What d'ya mean?"
Male Human Malund smiles lopsidedly, "seriously what did I do?, I mean I was already sitting there you didn't notice?"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac eyes Glyph. "Ye seem ta feel that tis everyone's life goal to build a submarine out of their limbs."
Female Human RoseRed looks embarrassed " sorry i loose myself sometimes."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin doesn't understand why the kid is talking to him! He hasn't even said a word to the rookie. "Whatcha' talkin' 'bout, kid?"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac pokes Glyph. "he's talkin' ta the lass!" Why doesn't anyone know who's talking to anybody?
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks back to Chirac. "Eh, just a phase for me, once Ah get latched onto an idea... yah know how it is? Ah'm sure ah'll have a new one soon enough! Like, ah've been thinkin' about... heh, nevermind, Ah'll save that'n for another time!"
Male Human Malund laughs and sits back down behind Rose, "Dont be I should apologize for almost faceplanting your ass." taps his chin and smiles, "Though now the idea sounds pretty good"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin thinks, to Chirac, that more people need to use targets when they talk. He chuckles.
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac nods understandingly at Glyph. "About sex? Shaggin'? Floggin' slave girls? Penguins? Swimmin' in spaghetti? One o' them things?"
Male Human Malund smiles at the absurd pirate,"I
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin doesn't know he he bloody well got it in one. "Well, all of 'em, sorta! Except the spaghetti, don't know where ya got that one."
Female Human RoseRed pipes in "Sacking NewHome and setting the Fail Boat aflame."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin pauses. He wasn't thinking about that one before, but he certainly is know. That DOES sound like good times. "Lass, ah like the way y'think."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin thinks. "Though honestly, the ideas could be combined pretty well..."
Male Human Malund""I'll take option's 1, 2, 3, and 4 mon capitan" smiles at Rose's idea, "ooh oooh that one too"
Female Human RoseRed " honestly its been a dream of mine since I got here."
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac eyes Rose with new appreciation. "Damn, lass, maybe ye ought to apply. Tis all we do, ye know. If ye'd been here when we... well, nevermind."
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin says "So, should we make it a plan, then?"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac stretches and yawns. "Time fer a nap." He strolls down the deck and lays down on one of the deck chairs.
Male Human Malund looks at Rose in mock suprise, "Wow who would have thought such a good healer could be sooooo violent"
Male Human Malund mutters "Night Captain!!!"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac is unceremoniously dumped to the floor as two huge Failors come and yank the deck chair out from under him.
Female Human RoseRed's eyes sparkle dangerously " definitely"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin looks at him. "Well nah, when there's talk of burnin' down the failboat, that doesn't seem like the right idea."
Female Human RoseRed "Night Cap!"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac shakes his fist at the Failors. "Still sore about earlier, eh? Wull, there's more where that came from!"
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac waves at his fellow contestants. "Night.
Male Human Malund smiles and winks at Rose, "that kind of attitude only makes you sexier hun"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin walks over to one of the sails. "Well, as they say, time waits for no zombie!" He holds his pipe up against the sail for a moment as it bursts into flames. He is immediately set upon by a mob of Failors as the flames quickly climb the sail.
Male Joker Bastard Pirate Black Jacques Chirac pulls his hat over his eyes and stretches out on the deck. Some Failors come by and kick him occasionally, but he's tough enough not to care too much.
Male Human Malund laughs, "I'm always ready for a throwdown Cap"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin is clobbered a bit and dragged to the edge. "Girl, ah didn't even catch any of yer names! Quicklike!"
Female Human RoseRedlaughs at her possible future captain. "maybe I should go back to being a mercenary? she think idally as she watches their plans go up in flames and zombie parts.

Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin is tossed overboard. Not quick enough.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin plops into the water and sinks out of sight.
Female Human RoseRed " oh its Rose, Rose Red Mr. Glyph my pleasure.
Male Human Malund mutters "Malund"
Female Human RoseRed mutters ""time lapse again stupid computer"
Male Human Malund mutters "same here"
Male Human Malund lays back and lucks up at Rose smiling slyly
Nearby Female Human Ivy Tai shuffles onto the failboat, face red from humiliation. "I can't believe I was beaten by my own shadow.."
Female Human RoseRed goes to rail. " I hope he's ok"
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin reprimands them with a glare as he sinks. Take that stuff to banter! Also, for those not in the know, THE FAILBOAT IS CURRENTLY ON FIRE
Rather Small Bryan is unceremoniously thrown to the deck. He skids to a halt on his ass, uttering a string of curses. As he stands, clutching his arm-in-a-sling with his unbandaged paw, he looks about for a friendly face.
Male Zombie Glyph McGriffin is impressed! He hit that character wrap limit perfectly! He's getting much better at this.
Male Human Malund smiles at the flames as they burn up the sail, "Hello there you ok my feline friend"
Female Human RoseRed spots Ivy and brian" oh hallo. the ships burning we should probably.. " Failors put out flames. " Damnit!!!!"
Nearby Female Human Ivy Tai stares at the fire in alarm, before sliding her gaze to RoseRed. "Why was the Failbot on fire?"
Rather Small Bryan assumes the giant in the robe is talking to him. "No, I'm not okay! See my damn arm?" He scowls, but walks over.
Female Human RoseRed " I gave a great Pirate a good idea"

Under the Ocean - The Drive Defeated
Glyph sunk through the water. Okay, maaaaaybe lighting the failboat on fire hadn't been the greatest idea. But gosh darn it, everyone knows he can't resist a suggestion from a pretty lass! And he was really getting into the spirit of the pirate thing, too!
Ah well, he thought, ah I suppose ah'll jest have to walk back to land.
Eventually, he found himself on the bottom of the sea, surrounded by an assortment of junk and wreckage. The remnants of ships and planes and ordinance that had been used over the years to attack the Island, improbable objects and sealife, like... yeah, he was pretty sure that was a Miniature Giant Enemy Crab. Adorable. He shrugged, and began the long trudge towards shore, figuring the slope of the ocean floor surely led to the Island.
Behind him, a blue light blinked on. The shadows in the crevice twisted, and the device slid out of its hiding place. Glyph didn't realize what was happening until it was almost too late, metal tendrils wrapping around his body and pulling him backwards. He turned his head, the water filling his lungs as he gasped.
The Drive, here? Here!?
Fine then. If it wanted to fight here, I can fight here. He rolled up his sleeves as the drive carried him towards its gaping maw. If the drive wants to play at being a giant robotic drive squid, well, I guess I'm going to have to kill myself a giant robotic squid.

---

The Failboat rocked a bit as the explosion sounded far below. None on the ship were the wiser, most didn't even notice, that every one of the cage monsters simultaneously growing cat ears and a ducks beak was certainly rather odd. Those on board simple ignored it, and went about their day.

--

Later (but not much later) , the Watcher stood looking down at the thing that had washed up on shore.
"What do you suppose we should do with it, ma'am?", one of her helpers asked. She frowned. "He's not an it. He's a contestant. A plonker even, but not an it. Or, at least... he wasn't."
The others stood around, silently, awkwardly.
"Looks more like a jungle monster to me, ma'am. And we don't have any memories available to push over something like... well, like this, ma'am."
The Watcher sighed.
"Just wipe him, then. Wipe him and leave him here. We'll mark him off as a loss. Maybe, if he gets lucky... but no, best to just mark him off. No use getting our hopes off. He'll be just another jungle monster as far as the rest of them are concerned. Just another casualty of the war."
The Watcher turned sharply, and strode away, suppressing a shiver.
Spiders. Why did it always have to be spiders.

--

He woke, looking about him. Confused. Fuzzy. If he were capable of thinking real words in the state he was in, they probably would have approached the gist of "How did I get here?"

But there are no answers for him. He os alone. He moves his arms, feeling the joints snap, pushing himself off the ground. He moves his mandibles, stretches out his many arms. It all feels incredibly wrong, somehow. Alien. And yet, at the same time, so very very right. He certainly could not remember a time when any of it was any different. Chittering to himself, he pushes himself up onto his feet. Elusive memories dance in his head, bits and pieces, disconnected, of times and place, memories that flee whenever he attempts to dwell on them, frustrating prey in a jungle of thought that lies cloaked in impenetrable shadow. He clacks his mandibles together. Enough thinking. He is hungry. With a flurry of legs, he disappears into the trees of a completely different jungle. It is time to hunt.


Current Physical Description
This spider creature is a terrible mixture of human and spider traits, the human bits almost completely subsumed by the mess of legs and chitin and dark brown fur. A vaguely humanish torso and face, perhaps, covered in course hairs, quickly turning into a spindly limbs and vicious mandibles, it's eight legs feeling the way forward as it moves. Nothing about it seems... right, at all.

Ruddy brown stripes run down it's back, and it's eight eyes are glassy, like a dark liquid, taking up the bulk of its face. It's mandibles click and twitch impatiently, almost constantly moving.

It looks hungry.

On a beach outside New Pittsburgh:
Nearby Male SpiderMorph [04m00s] <Bay> Glyph McGriffin wakes up. His body his strange. His memories are jumbles or nonexistant. And he is hungry. In a flurry of legs, he disappears into the woods. It is time to hunt.

So I was quite surprised, after dying a trillion times in Global, to find out that violence is not allowed in any outposts. At all. It's not listed in the site rules, but it is on the Wiki page for Advanced Roleplaying. 

I was under the impression that the only rules were "Don't be a dick" and "Don't take things seriously".

Heck, I'm going back to Banter. I need my silly violence.
I tried.

[GlyphGryph]

It IS allowed in Story, it just needs to be taken outside an outpost.

Having a place to fight was explicitly one of the reasons I wanted the RaunchHaus (since there's no fighting allowed in the Bordello either), since there is currently no place on the Island to get into bar fights. And because I was going to include a "violence reset" into the structure somehow (mirroring Global, I suppose?), I expected there to be plenty of it.

[GlyphGryph]

Colors not done for you, Quinnr, but here's the sketch I'll be working from:



Obviously, I've ignored a good portion of what you requested, hopefully you are still happy with it! I just had to go with my gut, y'know?

[Magentawolf]

Glyph!

I demand (well, put in a polite request, with a please) that you draw Krys at some point.

[quinnr]

~snipped~

Obviously, I've ignored a good portion of what you requested, hopefully you are still happy with it! I just had to go with my gut, y'know?

I love it! And that's perfectly fine, I just add details that are in my head, not necessarily what will make it turn out totally awesomesauce.
But yeah, thanks so much for it!

[GlyphGryph]

I'm done done yet, either. In fact, at the request of those I've been chatting with in Global, I've made a few small changes.

[quinnr]

Err, I think I'll stick with the first one

[GlyphGryph]

And also, of course I will draw Krys! I made it quite clear I would be happy too, no need to make demands!
