There was knockin on my cabin door that broke me right outta my conversation with the Void.
"Someone better've died up there, Drabbler. I ain't to be mussed wit the night afore a fight."
"It's actually me, Cap."
I shoulda been mad, but I could f…
I'm torn between my desire to see what happens in the remnants and my desire to try out more play by post games. I'm sort of leaning toward the former, but I do love a good epilogue ...
"I'm sure he's a good pirate but I'm not so exactly sure he a good man."
My own words commin back ta me. Still as right as when I said it--more so hearin it from the Cap's mouth. I look over at the Lady, she looks just about as confused as I feel…
I come in an smile at the Lady. She's sittin in my normal seat.
Closin my eyes fer a sec, I picture punchin her in her clean, white little face wit them stupid little lips. I'm still smilin, but it's so tight it's hurtin my mouth so I make a litt…
I sort of like just leaving the Kale/Bishop scene there.
I don't understand what you mean, David.
Yeah, sorry. There's multiple ways to interpret that, haha. I meant we should end that scene there and go with whatever's next.
I wouldn't mi…
Didn't get a chance to check in during the weekend and didn't see we were waiting on me. Sorry about that, folks.
I sort of like just leaving the Kale/Bishop scene there.
I stare at them gloves an do my best not ta even look up at her. She's tryin ta be nice, but I don't have much of an idea of what to tell her. Can't really pin down what's got me flailin.
I bite on my lip for a sec. Tastes like ashes. I clean e…
I gotta hold on the frame a the engine room door as we're flung halfway cross the heavens. It's a genuine miracle my stomach somehow don't puke up everythin I drank a while ago.
I'm still bracin myself in the door when we drift to a stop. I take …
I pull my goggles up an hand her the spade.
Thankee, Bishop. Keep on shovellin till you can see the black a the coal through the flame.
I salute the giant an sprint toward the guest cabins. It ain't long afore I hit a wall an almost fall over.…
Thanks for the assist, Andrea!
I'll wait and give you first say in this engine room scene we have going since I just got done ordering Bishop around, haha.
Ah ha, I was jus hopin a she-lummox might wander in here.
I climb outta the pressure furnace an grab one a the coal spades.
See that huge leaden oven? We gotta get that hot as possible as quick as possible or we'll start freezin afore we can …
I'm already waist deep in the pressure mod furnace.
We gotta leak someplace. Hopefully one a the Brass-Beaters got a knick in. (Worst case, Mamma Squid's huggin a bit too hard an it's bowing the hull--in that case we got even bigger problems.)
…
Dammit, life's gettin' shorter an' I'm tired of pretendin'.
Vance rips his shirt into shreds and takes a knee before Kale. He slowly removes his hat and holds it out to Kale, like a circus barker might.
Come 'ere, Kale. Make yer Captain a happ…
...just signed up for LB @ Dreamation to see what it's like F2F, but I dont think it will be a better group than this one
I'm running LB or the new one tomorrow with newbie RPGers. I have to make sure not to judge them on how "wrong" the charact…
I look inta his eyes. Then I study the dregs left in my shot glass and smooth out the blanket on my knees.
I's always been one ta finnish what I start, specially when there's gold on tother end.
I shrug an fix my hat.
But I can't lie to my Ca…
My cheeks are burnin when Cap pours more shots talkin about who I'm lovin or not. I bite my tongue in the literal sense and look every where else.
I gotta take that shot afore my heart pops in my chest.
Flint's ok. One a the best captain's I s…
I'll raise a cup ta that.
And I do jus that, right afore downin it.
Bishop sorta scares me ta be honest. Jus glad she's on our side.
The Lady's nicer than I woulda thought. She's teachin me about this Void stuff even though she don't havta.
…
I do all I can not ta laugh. Seein that the Cap ain't kiddin helps keep em down.
Can't see much'd make me give this up.
I spread my hands across the table an wink at the Cap. I smile more warm this time then look down at my glass.
By my count I…
I throw the blanket over my shoulder an grab the jug of Grease Whisky. I find two glasses an wipe em down with the tail a my shirt--I think this used to be the white one--an have a seat cross from my Cap. I fill em half up.
Nonstop's the nice w…
Oh yeah, things are good (kickstarter is up and running!), just crazy.
Good luck, sir! Just ordered my copy this morning. Looks like you'll hit your goal pretty easily.
