Hey guys, I for one am enjoying this guild party, but think that it could be even better if we can get more activity up in here. And so, I present to you my idea for PJs Pirate themed Guild Party '06: Story time! Taking up the tradition of group authored stories, lets put together a narrative of our guilds piratey adventures on the high seas. I'll start with one paragraph and then leave it open for whoever wants to add the next. Everyone is encouraged to participate, and you can add a new paragraph whenever you think the story needs to be moved along. Here goes...

Once there was a mighty ship called the 'PJs Guild,' and it belonged to a group of pirates. These infamous pirates sailed the seas of Gaia in search of treasure and adventure. They were led by their captain, the feared pirate Omni, and under his leadership they were prosperous pirates indeed. (exit introduction, begin plot and adventure! whee )

So writing is like my thing so I might ahve gone overbaord, but I couldn't help myself. I even got us a plot.

The PJs Guild was anchored off the coast of Gambino Island on one of the fairest days of summer. On and below deck the ship was a hub of activity. Every shipmate was busy putting the final touches on their contributions to the large ship party that was to be held over the course of the next few days. The second mate Isabelle was conducting several themed costume competitions while Skeletina was in charge of the ship lottery. The plans for this party had been worked on and tweaked for several months and every shipmate was salivating with anticipation for the festivities. Officially the party would start at sunset and continue for three full days. As the soft hues of twilight started so set in a thick fog rolled over the ship, hitting it with such force that the deck swayed back and forth violently. After a moment filled with annoyed and anxious cries the fog dissipated just as suddenly as it had appeared. A scream filled the air. Skeletina's voice rang out, "The lottery prize has been stolen" "And," Added Isabelle, "The contest prizes are gone too." Those weren't the only ting missing. Costumes, food, party hats and even the streamers were missing, Someone had used this unnatural fog to sabatoge the Pjs Guild party, but they wouldn't take this lying down.

Joby shimmied up the flag pole for a look around...
"Capt'n! I see the HMS MPL ship o'er yonder...I bet it was dem scallywags who done stole our loot! Let's attack 'em forthright and get back our loot and some of der booty as well. What say ye Capt'n? 'ave we yer permission?"

"Joby, when did you get that silly accent?" Captain Omni asked puzzled.

*class in session* HMS stands for Her Majesty's Ship meaning it was in the Royal Navy and the MPL was for Magical Poll Land...
T'was simply a joke and not meant to put down MPL, right? I hope nobody is offended. *class ended* 3nodding

whee The story is very engaging so far! Hopefully tomorrow my brain will have un-fried itself enough for me to add a paragraph.

While having slept lazily through most of everything several decks below, the sound of looting and booty crept through her ears. Graceangel sprung up, her spazz button went off, and she sped through the ship. No more than three minutes after Joby made his comment, Graceangel could be seen bent over panting for a brief second above the door that led to the swashbuckler's slumber chambers. Shaking off her laziness, she spun around thrusting one hand in the air in a peace symbol, and her other hand went to her hips with a confident and enthusiastic motion. "Did I hear looting and booty? Let's do it!!!" Her hand which was on her hip moved up in front of her curling into a fist. Her eyes flashed a bright golden diamonds in her eyes. She laughed a madman's snicker and she had this dark sense about her. She scurried up to Joby's spot. "Hey.... let me see...." She pulled his arm to hold the telescope by her eye. "Whoa... look at the size of that ship! Can we really take it? It is awfully bigger than us, but man....." She let go of Joby's arm. "Man... think of all that treasure...." Her mouth drooled at the dreamy idea of carrying armfuls of gold and jewels off their ship. She also dreamed of bringing back barrels of ale and tubs of cheese and wine.

Captian Omni gave the word and immideatly the crew sprung into action. Lantorges and Alexiandra hauled the ancor above the sea bed, freeing the ship for movement while Aoife and Soggy worked on poitioning the sails to best catch the evening wind. Soon the PJs Guild was moving towards the MPL. Captian Omni and first mate Isabelle stood on the captain's deck, while Joby handled the wheel. Working like a well oiled maching the ship mates set off in pursuit of their goods.

Meanwhile, Grace ran around finding swords and pistols passing them out to everyone. She also was giving deckwashers instructions on how to properly loot another ship. "Look... have no mercy on them.. because if they catch us, they will not have it for us. Also, if it looks shiny or golden.. take it just to be on the safeside. If it's shiny colored, like this blue sapphire on my finger; take that above all else. If it's a white shiny like my sapphire, it's a diamond. Give that to me.. I'll make sure it comes back to the ship safe and sound.Also, we should raid the kitchen as well. If they have any salted meats or beer, we should bring that as well." She stopped and tapped her chin. "What the heck. let's just take it all.. last one off hteir ship; don't forget to blow it up!" She did a pointing up thing at the end with her eyes squeezed shut out of hyperness and the lucious thought of plundering their riches.

Skeletina walked over to Graceangel, clapping a hand on her shoulder."Ahhh, it does me heart good to see you so excited for the looting, megirl," then dissapearded into the crowd on the deck. The PJs Guild was coming alongside the MPL and the crew was preping to board. Omni spoke, his voice riding on the wind, "Attention Plank Jumpers, These scurvy dogs stole our party, they violated our ship for their own gain, and now we shall make them pay! Take all you can, and hunt down our booty!" The crew broke into cheers, primed and ready for battle. Each ship mate was armed with sword, pistol, or fish and stations by various rops to board the MPL. The moment the PJs Guild was close enough to the enemy vessel Omni screamed the Pjs war cry "POLLS!" and swung to the other deck, the rest of the crew right behind.

Graceangel took a small party below deck. They got a plank and slide it out through an opening window where sometimes a cannon went whenever someone felt like stocking the thing. They moved the cannon adn pushed the plank through till it was safely touchign the other ship. They scurried across it penetrating the other ship from down below. This way they could quietly sneak some loot back to the ship without facing confrontation right away. Grace led the way giving waves to people when it was safe to enter parts of the MPL vessel. Aparently most of the hands were on the deck. It was perfect. Noone below deck. they'd try to smuggle as much as possible. She gave a waving hand to Joby so he'd know they were sneaking about. Hopefully he'd think to give them a sign should this route get too dangerous.

Fighting was breaking out everywhere, on the MPJ, above and below deck, and on the decks of the PJs Guild. It was lucky that the MPJs all wore red shirts, it made it so there were no mistakes between crew members. Omni himself had engaged the MPL captain, Myspoonsitoobig (Captain Spooner for short), and was finding himself on the winning end of the battle. Below deck Graceangel and her party found a large, wooden crate. On the front of the crate was a sign, in red lettering, that read "Plank Jumpers Party Loot". "This be it mates," Testiment 13 said, taking one end of the chest as J. Shaft heaved up the other end. Working together the party below mananged to retrieve all the stolen booty, in addition to several items from the MPL loot storage. Above deck, as Omni saw Graceangel appear from below on the PJs Guild and wave to him, signaling that the mission was successful. "Jumpers, back to the ship!" He called, his voice rining out among the sharp clanging of metal and blast of gunfire. "Victory is ours!" To driove in his point Omni tripped Captain Spooner and stole her white chef hat before bounding among his retreating seamen toward his own ship.
