(meanwhile, back at Denmos)
shopkeeper: Heh. sucker.

(back at the zephyr)
Gerard: Hm. Doesn't look very special to me...

by **Razorshell** Sun Jul 29, 2012 2:24 pm

Dax:Maybe Should we test it?

by **Arcus** Sun Jul 29, 2012 2:40 pm

Calvin: I suppose I could shoot at it a bit.

by **Zephyr** Sun Jul 29, 2012 6:28 pm

Scarlett: Hmm..hey Tom, give this string a pull, would you?
(Tom wanders over, takes the string from Gerard, and tries to pull it with all his might, but it doesn't fray or stretch)

(Denmos)
shopkeeper: *picks up a length of shoddy twine* Damn..I gave him my actually invincible string...oh well...

by **Darth Wiggles** Sun Jul 29, 2012 6:30 pm

Jessica: There a reason you wanted the string to be pulled?

by **Zephyr** Sun Jul 29, 2012 6:35 pm

Scarlett: We're trying to see if it'll fray or break.

by **Darth Wiggles** Sun Jul 29, 2012 6:37 pm

Jessica: I see.

by **Arcus** Sun Jul 29, 2012 6:41 pm

Calvin: Huh. Guess it is invincible.

by **Razorshell** Sun Jul 29, 2012 11:14 pm

Dax: So you think we can use it?

by **Zephyr** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:13 pm

Scarlett: Hm. I dunno, I've never seen rope like this before...
Gerard*looking through a telescope off the back of the ship*: That may have to wait, we've got company!
Scarlett: Who is it?
Gerard: Remember our pursuers back on the Silver Sea?

by **Razorshell** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:14 pm

Dax:Back again?

by **Arcus** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:15 pm

Calvin: Huh. Seems they found us. Here, I thought they were stupid.

by **Darth Wiggles** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:18 pm

Jessica: Well, time to do my job again.

by **Zephyr** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:20 pm

Gerard: No....I know them...that's Daggert's crew!
Scarlett: You know them?
Gerard: I was uh...their navigator, for a time...
Scarlett: What?!
Gerard: Hey, they pressganged me!

by **Arcus** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:22 pm

Calvin: You wer epart of them, Gerard? Well I suppose it's no use using you as a diplomat. Or even a sacrifice.

by **Razorshell** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:27 pm

Dax:No.*Brings out his bow and venom arrows*

by **Zephyr** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:42 pm

Gerard: No, I-
(the ship approaching is now right next to the Zephyr, and a gangplank is lowered, and the pirates rush onto the ship, brandishing weapons and muskets)
Gerard: Hey guys!
pirate: shut up!
(a tall, bald man walks onto the Zephyr, wearing a long black coat)
Daggert: Don't harm anyone, we're not here for ransom or plunder, but keep yer weapons trained on 'em. *goes over to Gerard* Well well well, Little Weasel. Looks like we've finally caught up with you. Gave us quite the slip back on the Silver Sea.
Gerard: How'd you find us?
Daggert: Shut up! *grabs Gerard's throat* You took something of mine when you jumped ship back in Malha. *gets real close to his face* I want it back.
Gerard: Well-...*coughs* it just so happens that-
Daggert: *throws Gerard to the deck* Fine then. We'll dig what you took out of the wreckage of your bilgent ship. *starts back across the gangplank* Men, back to the ship!
(all the pirates run back across the gangplank to their ship, and it hangs back in the air, putting some distance between it and the zephyr)
Gerard: Well...that went well...

by **Arcus** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:46 pm

Calvin: I suppose you get back to the wheel and shove off fast. They look like they're going to fire at us.

by **Darth Wiggles** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:54 pm

Jessica: Makes things more exciting doesn't it? *Grins as she takes out her rifle and aims at the other ship*

by **Zephyr** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:55 pm

before I go any further, I should specify that this is later, and they are buzzing above the Jungles of Asharaani'ten, I should have done a cut to it, but oh well. It's also night-time

Gerard: Hehe. Then we're all doomed. The only reason we survived the last encounter was because they chose not to actually hit us.
Scarlett: *grabs Gerard's shoulders* THAT would have been useful information!! Now to the wheel! Get us out of here!
CRASH!
(two shots are fired, one snapping apart some rigging, and one piercing the balloon)
Scarlett: What the-? I thought zeppelin balloons were supposed to resist cannons! *grabs Gerard by the neck* Or is there something ELSE you forgot to tell me?!
Gerard: No! This is new, I swear! We're going down, fast!
(the Zephyr whizzes down towards the jungle, and crashes through the canopy into trees)

(on Daggert's ship)
pirate: sir, we've lost them!
Daggert: What do you mean?
pirate: They....sir, they disappeared into the jungles!
Daggert: *pulls out a pistol, and shoots the pirate in the head* You. throw him overboard, and we'll find the Zephyr in the morning, when we can fucking see.

by **Arcus** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:57 pm

Clavin: Well this is just grand! *goes to get his ammunition belt and rifle*

by **Darth Wiggles** Tue Jul 31, 2012 9:59 pm

Jessica: Damn... *Turns to Scarlett and Gerard* So, what should we do with this guy?

by **Zephyr** Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:03 pm

Scarlett: Everyone, get under the deck! We're gonna crash!
Gerard: Dammit! *goes down the stairs, into the hold*
Scarlett: Now! Go!

by **Arcus** Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:06 pm

Calvin: Under? Wouldn't that be more dangerous?

by **Darth Wiggles** Tue Jul 31, 2012 10:15 pm

Oh, thought they already crashed...

Jessica runs into the hold, ushering any crew members that are still on the deck inside before running in herself.
