View Full Version : Anyone want to learn to sail?
Mistyrae

Yes, I'm a noob. Yes, I started a new thread with my virgin post. Mwahahahahaha!
hehe
Ok, here's why! One of my friends sails around the world on a ship called the Picton Castle. An actual sailing ship. It only costs about 15 thousand dollars for people who aren't employees to journey around the world.
I hate him, seriously, he gets to sail on an ACTUAL sailing ship!
Anyhoo, they're having a contest to GIVE AWAY a sailing voyage (worth about 12 thousand dollars). I'm saving up to move to Belgium. I can't afford to take those four months off from work. *sob!*
However, if anybody here would like to learn how to sail...take a four month vacation experiencing just about the closest thing to being an actual pirate...here's the link to enter the contest:
www.picton-castle.com/contest
*disclaimer* If anybody that I give this link to happens to actually win said trip, I demand MANY pictures...and rum.

There is no wind in the sails.....

*The lights flicker, dim and die*
With a metallic reverberating KLATCH a single spotlight breaks the darkness.
A red skinned man in a pure white suit saunters out into the sole source of illumination. A huge diamond sits atop a stylized cane, reflecting myriads of colors onto a surprised Mistyrae.
From places unseen, sound moves into the darkened landscape like a lover's touch. Intruments in master's hands preen and pluck, a cacophony of string, drum and shaped steel.
Thats when the tango music starts...
He's on her mid-HEARTBEAT...
Surprised, she takes a half step back to run, to fight to SOMETHING.. instantly his hand has snaked behind her back and his stance overbalences her. With a smirk and a dark leer, he forces her backward.. into a dip.
:al:
He leans closer to her, whispering in her ear "... and I just love your dress Madame" which is when Mistyrae realized the extent of what she was NOT wearing. She wanted to protest, to explain it was more aerodynamic.. that a TROLL tried to sit on her...
But she was wisked away, twirling, spinning STOP
She is at arms length, hand held high, wide eyed with surprise and fear. With a flick of the wrist she spins the opposite direction, straight into his waiting arms.
LIGHTS!!!
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moon light?
:dgrin:
I.. am Crazeyal.
Behind you is RazorJAK and I believe you've met IK the Troll.
MALOCHI CRUNCH
Was it good for you?
Pounce da newbie... *bip*
sableagle
06-29-2008, 09:27 PM
*soars cheerfully overhead*
*pounces Al and the newbie*
Awwwww. so sweet! *winghugs the pair of 'em*
Now ... you said something about Jak? Is he going to be pouncing? I'll be getting out of the way then.
Here, Misty, you dropped this.
*hands her the towel*
Crazeyal
06-29-2008, 09:40 PM
Uh.. sorry..
I guess you forgot about the German WW2 helmet I wear for pouncings. I usually get Panda butt on my head when I don't...
Have some Bactine..
Sehson
06-29-2008, 11:51 PM
Hey now... you have never gotten My butt on your head.... The closest my butt has ever been to you horn is when I licked your horn...
:d8o:
Wow that sounds really really bad....
:dgrin:
*Licks Als horn*
Yep to much salt.... You really should visit some of the other area's of hell, in stead of just the sucubus's play pens... :dp:
sableagle
06-30-2008, 03:48 PM
Al has clearly not seen the nature documentary that clearly demonstrates eagles pounce on quite a shallow angle, not vertically.
Thanks for the Bactine, though. If it's anything like Dettol it'll make a great growth medium for some specialised bacteria.
Mistyrae
06-30-2008, 05:32 PM
I feel so violated!
Do it again!
sableagle
06-30-2008, 05:37 PM
Which of us? Which part? I can't dance and I don't think Al can fly.
Mistyrae
06-30-2008, 05:49 PM
*purrrrrsssss*
Can I re-noob myself?
Tangoed with a devil, pounced on by an eagle...
If I were to run again...could I get an instant replay? :D

*runs past noobie, adjusting a tiller along the way, and maybe a couple sails, as well*
cRaSh
grrr. Let's try that again. *shakes head*
*Pushes off wall*
*Aiming at noobie...*
You see a small creature smiling maniacally, and feel fear. This is something you've never encountered before, and it looks as though the creature is probably crazier than the Cheshire Cat, and too focused to be distracted by sparkly vibrating mongooses covered in chocolate and/or catnip and/or pudding, but has been known to disturb the King of the Trolls, so definitely FEER DA KITTEH!
Mwuahahahaha
And here we go...
Aiming...
Wiggle-butt...
Tail-twitch...
Runs at newbie...
Bypasses noob, speed at Mach 2, flies around corner...
Runs back around corner, putting the fear of Kitten into all watching...

Welcome to the boards! And sorry about that, Kia, didn't mean to bounce you into Al..
Al, think that was worth another round in your thread ;)

*rustling*
*more broken glass*
*swearing in false german*

*The doc comes out running*
Unleash the POUNCEATOR
*A creature emerges from the lab and sniffes the air. it looks like IK, Jak, Al, Seshon, and pretty much everybody, with a strange blend of cow and.... platipus*
*It zeros on the noob and starts running*
*a separate set of limbs lauches it in the air*
PATAGABOUMDABOPOUNCE!
*doc wrings hands happily*
Yayay zeeer guut ! Ye be properly pounced now !

Doc, I don't know what you've been brewing down there that's done that to your accent(s) but believe me this is for your own good and the safety of species worthy of protection!
*throws thermite grenade into the lab*
*throws rucksack full of thermite after it just to make sure*
*Watches from a safe distance as thermite starts it's work*
Ach ! Heat, then ? Yaya... Zeeeeer gut !

Sadly, that's typical around here.
Just be glad it was only blown up. We've had a couple...
No. Not going there. Nope.
sableagle
07-10-2008, 12:00 AM
That wasn't this thread.
That's Al losing it over in the roleplay forum.
This thread's just got a big glowing pit where the lab used to be, plus a radioactive ash plume.

Or mongooses.
Sparkly, catnip-covered, chocolate-flavoured mongooses.
That vibrate.

What everyone knows that they absorb radiation... it makes them more sparkly...

Now now now, we can settle this like civilized creatures. See, if you were to take turns, then I could always (as the unbiased third party) judge which is better exuberance or experience. Now, would either of you have a problem with this idea?
:jbdevil:
*disclaimer: The Misty has had another night of sleep deprivation and takes no responsibility for ideas and naughtinesss that her mind and body may involve themselves in*
I spent 30 years in the Navy, about 27 of those years at sea, but never on a sailing ship.
Sounds like fun to this old sea dog.
Oh HO! And what do we have here? A Beauty that far surpasses any mermaid or Siren that I ever heard tell of.
Ah me, Too old now (and much too happily married) to do more than enjoy the vision of loveliness as she graces us with her presence.
Greetings Mistyrae, Loyd at your service. *bows*

Greetings Loyd
I can't lie (damn spell casters), your flattery is most appreciated on this so stressful a day.
As the grand daughter of a WW2 Navyman and the daughter of a man who would have been a dwarf had he not been born a human, I am ever so pleased to meet you.
*curtsies, then leans down to kiss Loyd on top of his cute little Dwarven head*

'Tis no flattery lass, your beauty and wit are a refreshing miracle for this old sailor.
You are the kind of lass a man would voyage 'round the globe to find. And then having found you, the fortunate man would count himself blessed above all mortals if you deigned to smile upon him with favor.
My beloved wife is another such as yourself, and I had to voyage clear to Thailand 3 times before she agreed to wed me. If I died tomorrow, I would still count myself blessed that she by some miracle came to love someone twice her age all those years ago.

:jbdevil:Only one, really. By the time we're both within range, it seems silly to waste those precious opportunities on taking turns when it might be better to take sides.Sides of the bed, that is.
