Coral

[ You step into a wooden room that smells of the sea; stand still long enough and you’ll notice the room is rocking very faintly. A round table sits in the middle of the room with wooden chairs lining the edges. At the back of the room sits two large, locked treasure chests, to the side an open closet. Inside are PIRATE CLOTHES, captain hats, bandannas, FAKE HOOKS, and the like.. A piece of paper lays on the table, along with an ink well and a feather pen. The door locks behind you as you enter; looking out the porthole now reveals an endless sea. ]

Every good pirate has two things: pirate clothes and a good ship! I know lots about ships, so I made it really easy for you to make one too. Pick from these parts and then we’ll set sail for treasure! Remember that pirates are really fast or really strong or both, so your pirate ship should be like that too. I left some clothes for you to wear too; real pirates wear clothes like that. Are you going to be a real pirate?

How big is your ship!	How many masts should it have!	How many cannons do you want!	What’s your ship made out of!	How big will your crew be!
Small Medium Big	One Two Three	A couple Some Lots	Light Wood Heavy Wood Metal	Small Medium Big

[ OOC: Pick ONE option from each category to build your ship! Also don your pirate gear, if you are so inclined. ]

[ Please also note who is wearing pirate gear, if any. ]

Wouldn't a metal ship just sink?

. . . not necessarily.

[YOINKING A CAPTAIN'S HAT AND AN EYE-PATCH]

The one I remember was at least partially made out of metal.

Metal ships aren't that unusual.

Most ships are.

Ah… Well, they are in my world, I suppose.

[picks up a bandanna and blinks at it.]

[draping a bandanna over Light's head]

Metal is tougher than wood, too. We should probably go with that option, if we can.

Is it appropriate for a pirate ship though?

[puts on a nice hat]

Ar.

But this is a pirate ship we're building . . . maybe we should be more traditional?

[ takes the bandana off his head ]

[ties the bandanna around her arm…] Arr?

No, I think it's a better idea to keep to wood for this.

Yeah. We're appealing to a child so we should go with his vision of what a pirate ship should be.

Very pirate-like.

If we're going for traditional, you should tie the bandanna around your head.

So… what is that? A large crew? A small crew? I don't even know what masts are, really.

[ . . . fine, ties on the stupid bandanna ]

Masts hold the sails.

Any opinion on number?

-- better! Though you'll need more than that. What about a frilly shirt? Or a peg leg?

The bigger the ship, the more masts we should have. So it depends on the size.

. . . I'll take a coat.
