    This thread's topic reminds me of the advertisements they have for some prescription medicines, it gets rid of your indigestion but it gives you diarrhea, nausea, and possible kidney damage. I'll just stick with the indigestion thank you. <_<

    I've noticed that some people are looser with language and etiquette online than they would be in person, who hasn't had an email or a PM from someone saying something they'd never say to someone in person. Maybe it has something to do with a certain sense of anonymity people feel they have when they're online. You miss seeing a person's body language and hearing the "tone" of their voice online, that can really alter what they're saying to you. Like if they're being sarcastic or not. This is a very interesting topic, I'm really curious to see what everyone else thinks. <_<

    The only people who will ever see my drivers license photo are the police and anyone who steals my wallet. I look like I just got arrested after a 3 state high speed chase, God Lord I think they use a special camera that makes people look like their posing for a mugshot at the DMV. I'm afraid to get pulled over for speeding because I'm afraid they'll take one look at that God awful picture and haul my butt away, thinking " this guy has to have done something. " :grin: :cops:

    ~ No Longer A Game ~

     

    As the Elusive and the Batavia headed to the north under full sail Fenriz looked back at Borabora and the fire that was spreading along the edge of the beach. Whatever that...contraption was it had certainly stopped crews of all three ships in their tracks, the arrival of the French frigates and the surette from Monkey Island had jarred the stunned sailors out of their stupor and sent them scambling to get the sails unfurled and the Elusive out of harm's way. "You there," Commander Riker called to a scaggly looking sailor "Raise the colors, I don't want those French ships firing on us by mistake." Watching the flag raised and catch the wind Fenriz looked over to the Batavia and could see it was also flying it's colors. Walking to the aft of the ship to join Jeanway beside the wheel Fenriz stopped to grab the powder monkey Pip by the arm. Intent on cleaning out the pocket of a still unconscious sailor, the boy resisted until he was yanked to his feet. "Get below lad, Now." Fenriz said. Without further protest the lad scampered down the rises on his way to the magazine, Fenriz could hear his pockets jingle as he went.

    Climbing to the deck over the wheelhouse Fenriz stood beside Jeanway. "What the devil was that thing that fell from the sky?" he asked her. "I haven't a clue and right now I don't have time to worry about that." she answered. As the Elusive drew nearer to the six French Man of Wars sailing from the West, their gunports open and the cannons ready, Fenriz counted two frigates and four Man of Wars in the group. Turning and looking to the Northeast he could see that the two frigates sailing around the tip of the island had already begun firing at the Bonaventure, white smoke from their cannons wreathing the two frigates. The fire raging on the island was throwing thick black smoke into the air, hiding much of that part of the island from view. The small ship drawn up on the beach could not be seen and Fenriz hope that it's crew got to safety. Remembering the horrible stories his Irish grandfather told him of the English Fenriz watched the French warships sail towards the English ship and found that he hoped the French gunners aim was true.

    ~ A Friendly Game ~

     

    Standing on the deck of the USS Elusive Fenriz watches the sun disappear below the horizon while he paces impatiently. Feeling the weight of the full purse at his belt he wonders exactly how many coins he's going to have to lose tonight to keep the Batavia's captain occupied. Having informed Riker and Worf of the plan Fenriz is glad he decided to invite Crunch and Snader to the game "Spread the hurt around a little more." he thinks to himself. Walking to the rises Fenriz goes below deck to the officer's mess, Worf and Riker are there along with Crunch and Snader. Turning to Snader Fenriz asks "Is everything prepared?" Staring at Fenriz bugged eyed the man stammers until Crunch elbows him sharply in the ribs. "Y-Yes sir. Everything just like you said, fresh vittles and good rum." Snader's eyes lingered on the bottles of rum sitting on the table. Plucking a grape from a silver bowl on the table Fenriz motions towards the door "Go above deck and bring our guest down here when he arrives, go with him Crunch." Nearly walking on top of one another the pair scramble for the rises. Fenriz watches them go shaking his head, closing the door behind them. Turning back to face Riker and Worf he studies his two companions, Riker is smiling like always while Worf is characteristically stone-faced. Looking at the Klingon's boots Fenriz notices they are freshly scrubbed and still a little damp, smiling broadly at the Klingon Fenriz bites into the grape.

    Waiting for their guest to arrive the three pass the time idly. Riker shuffles the deck of cards with a practiced hand, amusing himself by spreading them out in a fan and then back with one smooth motion of his hand. Worf sits in his chair and fingers his beard, "No doubt planning his retaliation for my latest prank." thinks Fenriz while examining the bottles of rum, pulling the corks out with a pop and sniffing the contents. "If Crunch or Snader switched this with that rot-gut they drink I'll hang them from a yard arm." he mutters to himself. After several minutes the sound of boots can be heard clomping on the rises and someone knocks on the door. "Enter." commands Riker rising to his feet. Opening the door Snader introduces the guest of the evening, "Sir, er...Sirs...Captain ILikeSeven of the Batavia." Extending his hand to the Dutchman Fenriz smiles broadly at the man "I hope you brought a full purse Captain, keep your eye on Commander Riker he's like a bloodthirsty pirate when it comes to cards." Laughing out loud Riker extends his hand as well "Only when I'm losing at the table Sir, and this is Mr. Worf, do not be concerned with his stern appearance, he's actually smiling at the moment." Nodding his head slightly to ILikeSeven Worf greets him, "Charmed."

    his expression never wavering. Fenriz gestures to the table, "Gentlemen may we pour ourselves a drink and deal the cards, you all have coin that belongs to me tonight I think." Chuckling they all take seats around the table, while Fenriz pours rum for their guest Riker shuffles the cards. Offering ILikeSeven some of the fresh fruit Fenriz asks, "Captain, would you be offended if these two joined us in the game?" motioning his head to Crunch and Snader who are waiting by the door like eager puppies. Without even looking at the pair he answers "Not at all, as long as the have full purses." Crunch and Snader quickly seat themselves at the table between Worf and Fenriz and help themselves to the rum.

    After a few hands the game settles into a comfortable pace, Fenriz notes that Riker and Worf were folding more than would be normal for either of them, winning occasionally but making sure the pile of coins in front of ILikeSeven grew at a steady pace. Fenriz knew this must be especially frustrating for Riker who as far as Fenriz knew had never folded in a game of poker in his life until this evening. If it was difficult for him Riker wasn't showing any sign "Now that's a poke face" thought Fenriz. ILikeSeven seemed to be enjoying himself, it was clear to Fenriz that the man was new to the game of poker but Riker, Worf, and himself were doing their best to increase the man's winnings. For their part it was clear to Fenriz that Crunch and Snader weren't that good at card either but the rum the two were drinking seemed to have dulled their senses to their steadily emptying purses. Laughing as he won another hand ILikeseven helped himself to an orange from the bowls of fruit. "Fortune is with you tonight Sir." laughs Riker always jovial when he's playing cards. "Aye she is." agrees ILikeSeven. Draining his cup Crunch stands up, wobbling on unsteady legs, "Fortune Bah! Yer a damn cheat you bastard, no man wins like you been winnin' without somethin' crafty up his sleeves." slurred the drunk sailor. Quickly calming his friend Snader pulls him back down into his chair and pours him another drink, "Sorry about that Sirs, he gets a bit worked up sometimes, a little rum'll calm his nerves." Pressing the mug into Crunch's hands Snader then refills his own and the two of them down their drinks in one swallow. "Shall we have another hand Gentlemen?" offers Riker. "Aye." grumbles Crunch, apparently sated for the moment. Fenriz watched the incident quietly, sitting on the edge of his seat he was ready to grab Crunch and drag the man to the brig to sleep it off when Snader took his friend in hand. Taking another grape from a bowl he chewed it. With his rum sitting by his left hand untouched, he looks over his cards and saw he had three kings and then looking at the sizable heap of coins in the center of the table sighs to himself " I fold." he says.

    Hours roll by as the game continues, IlikeSeven continues to win and now has a small fortune in front of him, while the rest of the players are growing weary. Several empty rum bottles litter the table with the drunken pair of sailor beside Fenriz doing their best to finish the last one. Folding again Fenriz rubs his eyes while Crunch roaring drunk now tosses another dollar into the center of the table. "I'll see you an' raise you a dollar, my head tells me you ain't got no cards in that hand. No man can win all night like you been winnin'" declares Crunch. "Very well my friend," says a smiling ILikeSeven,"I see you and call, four queens." Putting his cards on the table Crunch now realizes that his pair of sixes are not a winning hand but with rum flowing through his veins he is ready for a fight. "You stinkin' cheat!" he roars as he trys to dive over the table at the Dutchman. Grabbing him by the collar Snader attempts to stop him but is yanked off of his feet in crashes into the table, sending a rum bottle flying into Worf's lap, standing up the Klingon looks down at the large wet spot now all over his pants, with a roar he grabs Snader and throws him against a wall. Crunch slides across the table head first into ILikeSeven knocking him to the floor and falling on top of him. Pulling the drunken sailor off of ILikeSeven, Riker trys to hold him back while Crunch flails his arms wildly. Fenriz helps his guest to his feet, and turns around to glare at Crunch. Insanely drunk Crunch begins to scream for his partner "Snader, you cowardly sot! Help me out lad! They're trying to rob us blind!" Riker attempts to calm the man down "Stand down! You're drunk, stand down or I'll have you slapped in irons!" Getting to his feet Snader rushes past Worf and tackles Riker. Crunch, Snader, and Riker go down in a heap on the deck. "Get off me! You damn fool!" demands Riker wrestling with Snader on the floor. Crunch now free of Riker's grip, scrambles on his hands and knees across the floor and grabs onto ILikeSeven's leg and begins to gnaw at his boot. Swearing in Dutch ILikeSeven kicks at the sailor locked on his leg with his other foot. Fenriz pulls Snader off of Riker, spinning the drunk around Fenriz starts to yell at him when ILikeSeven trips over Riker and falls into Crunch who in turn knocks Fenriz over the table. Falling backwards over the table he sends bottles, cards, cups, and food flying. Rolling off of the table and crashing on the floor Fenriz looks under the table and sees Crunch with a deathgrip on the Dutchman's leg, still biting at the man's boot. ILikeSeven smashes one and then another bottle over the crazed man's head but to no end. Getting slowly to his feet Fenriz sees Worf pin Snader against the wall with one hand and help Riker up with the other, at that moment ILikeSeven trips over Crunch and crashes into Riker and Worf. All of them go down, knocking the table over with a loud crash.

    The brawl in the mess now attracts other sailors who rush in to join in the chaos. Crunch intent on his target has wrapped himself around ILikeSeven's legs while the man pummels him in the head with oranges. Riker orders some of the crew to break up the mess but is knocked over again by Crunch and ILikeSeven who are rolling around on the floor. One of the new arrivals stupidly swings at Worf who smiles and then throws the man across the room. Grabbing Snader by the collar like a sack of grain, Worf drags him over to the door. "You men! Grab him!" orders Fenriz pointing to Crunch. The men pile on Crunch who thrashes around like a wild animal screaming "Damn cheat!" over and over again. "Bring him above deck." orders Riker, his jacket torn open and his sleeve ripped. With little trouble Worf hauls Snader up the rises while the sailor makes feeble noises. Crunch has no intention of going easily and it takes a half dozen men to drag him kicking and screaming above deck. Helping ILikeSeven to his feet Fenriz offers his apologies "I'm terribly sorry for this Captain, I had no idea this would happen." leading the man up the rises the two of them reach the deck in time to see Crunch break loose from his captors and dive at ILikeSeven, sending the two of them with Fenriz tumbling down the rises. An all out riot erupts on the deck of the Elusive as order collapses. Worf tosses sailors over the side of the ship as they rush at him, the powder monkey Thomas and his friend Pip scurry around the deck between the legs of the combatants, stopping to pick the pockets of unconscious sailors. Riker leaps down the rises and pulls Crunch off of ILikeSeven and together with Fenriz they haul the man back up to the deck and toss him roughly over the balustrade into the water. "Well that should calm him down somewhat the lousy sot." says Fenriz dusting his jacket off. Turning around Riker and Fenriz see the entire deck of the Elusive in turmoil as sailors beat each other senseless across the entire deck of the ship, Jeanway stands at the balustrade at the aft of the ship screaming at the crew "Stop! Stop you damn heathens or I'll throw the lot of you into the brig!."

    Hey folks let's show some love for the vegetables, they may not pack the cholesterol around your heart but they keep things movin' in there. Let's especially remember the lesser known and under appreciated vegetables like sinqui, they may be plants but they have feelings too. Remember that when you're hiding them underneath your mashed potatoes kiddies. :P

    Hearing a knock on his door as he is dressing following his prank the night before Fenriz pulls on his boots and walks to the cabin door. Expecting to find an angry Klingon standing there he yanks the door open and instead finds Jeanway. Puzzled he begins to ask if she needs anything when she stops him, " I need a favor from you." she states. "Anything my Love." answers Fenriz. Motioning with her head towards her cabin Fenriz follows her and closes the door behind them. Turning to face him she begins, " I need you to distract ILikeSeven tonight." Fenriz, curious asks " May I ask why, Love?" " Of course." she answers," Seska needs to meet with Headborg and she doesn't want ILikeSeven to know, she asked for my help." Considering the situation for a moment Fenriz looks at Jeanway, "I suppose I could invite him to the Elusive for a game of cards, I don't think any self respecting sailor would pass on the chance to relieve another's pockets of their coin. It shouldn't be that difficult, consider it done love." Smiling Jeanway kisses Fenriz " I knew I could leave this in your hands, I'll inform Seska of our plans." Opening the door for her they exit her cabin together and head up the rises to the deck of the Elusive. While Jeanway goes in search of Seska Fenriz calls a sailor over to him, "Yes sir?" the sailor inquires. Seeing it's one of the pair from last night Fenriz can't hide his smile. "Snader, find Commander Riker and Worf for me." Turning several shades of green while he listens to the order the hungover man wobbles off on his errand, watching him go Fenriz frowns to himself, "We'll have to let the Dutchman win tonight I suppose, Worf and Riker won't be happy with that news, neither am I." Suddenly a thought occurs to him, "Snader?" Fenriz calls after him. "Yes sir?" asks an obviously distressed Snader. Fenriz smiles innocently, "Do you and that friend of yours, Crunch is it?, play poker?"
