003- Video | A bit of madness on the high seas.

[orions_shadow]

New rule. No imPort is allowed to cast magic on basic household necessities.

[It appears to be a recent clip from a political commentator, an older funny looking gentleman with good comedic timing. This clip went up this morning. The feed is cut to Shadow as he appears on screen, birds chirping near by. He is wearing nothing but a red vest and a grey bandanna around his head, but also a silver colored ring around the side of his left ear.

He's in a tree, high above the ground as he makes this delivery. In the woods, it seems as the trees behind him are thick and numerous, and no sounds of people can be heard. He's near Peter Pan's camp, avoiding the onslaught of toilets. However, he has something else to talk about.]

Avast scoundrels! I be lookin' to find me a crew as to impart on a quest of riches! For that, a hearty crew needin' to be recruited! [Somehow he falls into this pirate voice pretty easily, though he doesn't seem quite able to do the gruffness any lower than his usual growl. That part's easy.

His wide toothy grin is a sheer indicator that he realizes how much scenery he's chewing, and he loves it.]

A crew and a sea worthy vessel is what I seek. So what ever lot of you dares to sail the high seas, look no further than joining me motley crew.

[And then the video feed ends, shifting into text because what the hell, Shadow? Suddenly pirate?]


How did you like that performance?
I'm completely serious. I need a pirate ship and a crew. We're going on an adventure because there's a holiday called 'talk like a pirate day' this weekend. Even gonna skip school.

First rule? No adults. Kids only, and under 18 at that.
Second rule? Unless you really need em? No powers.
Third rule? Act the part.

Now I just need to figure out how to get all the stuff. We need a ship, and pirate gear.
That's about it.

[A ping goes out to his friends and acquaintances who are under the age limit. Come play pirate, friends.]


PS Also seeking anyone who can cast magic spells and not screw it up. Please thanks.

[orions_shadow]

Let's just let that one sink in.

[orions_shadow]

A team? What kind of team?

voice

[buildsfriends]

I WANNA BE A PIRATE!

voice

[orions_shadow]

Ye can't, ye land lubber. Too old.

Video

[flyfishing]

But no pirate seems very threatening if there aren't any sharks trailing the ship.

[That's code for "I want to be a shark".]

Re: Video

[orions_shadow]

Oh? You gonna lure em' in, me hearty?

[servesthehuman]

[ what the heck, this is so cute. ]

Any takers on that boat?

[orions_shadow]

Nobody. I think I might have to steal one. [Honest, but he had a legal but boring solution.]

Not sure if we can afford costumes either. [He puffs his cheeks out.] I'll figure somethin' out.

[Wait hang on, broke character]

Yarrrr...

[quickster]

[orions_shadow]
