Threads of more than two are welcome and encouraged.

1. Boarded: Your ship has been boarded, and as captain you've been captured! Better hope the other captain gives quarter. Alternatively, it's a nice warm day for a swim. That plank was made for walking.

2. Victory: You've captured another ship! You knew those extra cannons would come in handy. And let's hope they've got lots of swag! Where's the captain? Are you the decent sort, or are you going to rub their face in it for a bit?

3. Swab the decks: You're a cabin boy! It's a good thing you don't mind doing all the dirty work, right? Anyway, the captain's calling; better see what they want.

4. Marooned: For a bit there you'd thought you were in Davy's Jones' grip, but somehow you've washed ashore with the driftwood. As you stare dazedly up from the surf, you have questions. Where are you? And who's that already on the shore?

5. Buried Treasure: Sink me! You've really found the mother lode. . . but you're not the only one. Who gets to take the treasure back to their ship? Better make sure it's you.

6. Rum: Rum, everywhere.

7. Swordfight: It's that person you can't stand! And they've taken your most valuable possession, that one of a kind thing you just can't live without! Better get that trinket back before it and your nemesis are gone over the side forever. Let's hear some swashes buckling.

8. Mutiny: The tack is full of maggots and this drinking water may as well have come from the gutter. There's one person to blame for this, and you're here to make especially sure that they pay for it. The captain does always seem to take the best treasure before everybody else.

9. Kidnapping: Don't they look rather peaceful, innocent even, sleeping so soundly there with their fancy nightclothes and pillows. Brings a tear to your eye, it does. Better take them aboard and send for a ransom.

10. Take a Gamble: Gotta spend your loot somehow, but it must have been the rum that had you bettin' everything at once! You've lost to your hornswagglin' shipmate; what did you lose, and what will they make you do now?

11. Under the Sea: You are now a Mermaid/Merman! That sailor over there sure looks appealing; let's see if you can lure them in with your charms. Don't forget that they can't breathe under water! You do seem to always forget, don't you. . .

12. Enemy from the Deep: What was that? Did you feel that? An unseen enemy is about to take this ship swiftly to the bottom of the ocean. Giant squid, enormous whales, sea serpents . . . hope you make it.

13. The Doldrums: Can you say cabin fever? The sails haven't moved in weeks. You're about seeing if your mates can relieve this awful boredom. And hopefully find some food and water. Don't squabble over it, now.

14. The Brig: Something you did has gotten you imprisoned in the very depths of this ship. How long until you see your next meal? When you see who put you here again, you'll make them pay. Hold on, maybe there's someone else here too.

OR

Make up your own! Arrrrr!

[ vriska serket was busy trying to cough out the water that she swallowed while almost drowning in the sea. this wasn't part of the plan. her eyes blurry, she pulls herself up from the sandbank. where was she?

...

g8 someone else is here too, and they saw her look stupid and lame! ]

[ Was that... Is that.. Eridan squints against the sun's reflection at the skinny body half strung up by seaweed. He's got his cape over his head to avoid sunstroke, so it's not like he is the bastion of coolness up on shore, sitting amongst the driftwood. But that is definitely another troll, though judging from its flatchestedness there's no indication what gender we're dealing with here (burn!) He hurriedly shimmies his cape back down to his shoulders, climbing to his feet, hand at the gun at his side. Seadweller or not, this island has served as a good enough home for him and his lusus (until its untimely death), and he sure as shit isn't handing it over to any lowblood castaway who wanders onto it. ]

[ rude.

she gets on her feet, flipping her wet hair away from her face. yeah, bet you can tell she's a girl now. why, isn't it her "favorite" rival.

time to act tough. ]

Hahahahahahaha, look what the shore washed up! Why don't you scamper yourself off back into the sea instead of taking up space on my new island.

[ Oh great.

Was that her ship he sunk? How's anybody supposed to keep track? Ugh, if thats the case, what a fucking waste a ammo, right? Vriska doesn't exactly serve him any use here, alone, vulnrable. Nope, no use at all.

Nope, don't think about that! Stay cool. Or become cool. Deadpan voice. ]

I've literally been livin here half a sweep. [ Points behind her, incase Vriska forgot the sea she just crawled from. ] You're the one who just sputtered outta the reef like a halfbaked guppy.

[ half a sweep? what a loser. and never mind what she just did, she'll ignore all of it. ]

Did no one want to come get you? Wait until my crew comes to get me. I'll get to go home, but not before I take your little island. [ a beat. ]

Or you could let me stay for a little bit and maybe I'll spare you.

[ He's been perched on that rock for over twenty minutes now, unmoving, keeping dedicated vigil over the glassy waters below. The hand clutching a weathered and rusting harpoon is cocked and at the ready, just waiting for an unsuspecting meal to swim by.

He's committed, you have to give him that. ]

[ Okay, this is getting pretty ridiculous. Sollux has been insisting on the landdwelling equivalent a fishing for about two hours too long. Meanwhile, Fef is curled up in a pleasant and comfortable slumber brought about by eating way too much fish. Hand-caught, uncooked fish. Eridan can only bet in contract, sol is still pretty fucking hungry. Serves him right for turning up his nose at their fishing methods. ]

Fuck, Sol, just take one a ours.

[ There's no tart scowl, no moody huff. Sollux doesn't even twitch. Wether he's deliberately ignoring Eridan, or he's just bought a fucking engagement ring for his stubbornness, it's difficult to say.

In any case, he won't be abandoning his watery post for anything less than a sea bass speared by yours truly. ]

[ Eridan takes to being ignored like most people take to beign set on fire. Visibly perturbed, he scoops up a handful of pebbles and chucks them at the previously steady water. ]

Come on. We'll even cook it.

[ Sollux seizes with alarm and nearly takes a dip face-first into the sea. He wobbles back at the last second and regains his balance with a relieved sigh. ]

Eridan!

[ He hisses over a shoulder through bared teeth, visibly ruffled by that stunt Eridan just pulled. ]

The fuck is your problem! You just frightened every fish this side of the ocean! I'll be lucky to glimpse a minnow, now.

[ Okay, he'd be lying if he didn't admit that was pretty fucking funny. Grins to Sollux, holding up one of the few remaining fish. ]

Offer stands.

[ He regards him unhappily with narrowed eyes before surrendering to hunger pangs and the futility of trying to spear his own lunch, now. Not with certain fishtrolls afoot.

He steps off into the water and wades to shore. He's within spitting distance when he skewers the fish right out of Eridan's hand, only just avoiding taking a finger or two with it. ]

I can cook it myself.

[ Eridan only jumps a little bit! Nobody noticed, still cool. Little hmp! noise, turning back to his sleeping moirail. If Sollux's going to be shitty about accepting help, that's his own fucking problem. ]

As long as it doesn't take you as long as the 'catching' debacle did.
