So? Was there a point to that li'l ol' story? Ah can't deny it happened and Ah am sure not surprised that someone heard the teeny tiny arguement, but what of it?

*awaits the mystical evilness from Yu Lie for the snaffle*

I be knowing all was not rosy with Inky and Miss Brassy, I been sayin' it since Inky had his last gasp

*Swigs medicine*

Ah have to admit mah relationship with darlin' ol' Inky had become, shall we say, strained recently. It seems he did not like the taste of his own medicine, unlike you Lance. You should watch yourself there, addiction is not pretty.

the only medicine Inky could dish out was either violent or murder...  why had the relationship be come straind Miss Brassy? Why had you double crossed Inky?

*I be taking medice for stamina wench, and not fer ye happy trips saying that it be making me a happy man*

Ah'm not sure Ah would class it as double crossin' him, Ah merely took what was mahn. He drove a hard bargain did darlin' ol' Inky and Ah wasn't always convinced Ah had gotten a fair deal from him. Well, Ah have to make a livin' somehow, bein' a respected member of society sure doesn't come cheap you know. Anyway, Ah always made sure Ah came away with more than he sold me. Ah tried to be discreet, but he obviously cottoned on to me. Such a shame, Ah enjoyed doin' business with him

So on other words you were stealing from him Brassy, what exactly did you take?

Ah wouldn't say Ah was a stealin' Ah was simply takin' what Ah paid for. His prices were getting higher and higher, mah business couldn't take it, so Ah simply took what Ah felt Ah had paid for. Admittedly, Ah may have taken them without askin', but Ah had paid for them. Ah just took jewellery from him, jewellery that Ah felt was mahn. Some bits Ah wish Ah hadn't taken, Ah also wish he wasn't dead as mah business will suffer greatly.

*that made me rl lololol*

What bits you wish you hadn't taken? Would that include a dagger and/or a map? If not what was important about the bits you siwped off old Inky?

Oh no, Ah swear Ah never took a dagger or that dratted map that everyone is so concerned with. Ah only took jewellery, Ah told you. Ah almost got mahself in trouble when Ah added a certain opal ring to mah stock without informin' darlin' ol' Inky that Ah had taken it. How was Ah to know that the ring belonged to Lady Longshanks and that Lady Longshanks would come to mah li'l shop and buy that very ring for his newest lady friend? Ah mean, Ah'm not psychic, am Ah?

oh so you stole that ring, still ye have not been very open lassie, coming clean at the start would have been the best option, yer still on my list

Ah suspect that that Vi creature has been more than open enough for you. Ah have not hidden anythin' from anybody, Ah have simply not been a shootin' mah mouth off about mah private business. Ah have always answered any questions that Ah have been asked, it is hardly mah fault if no-one has asked the raht questions, is it?

Anyway, Ah am more than happy to be on your list if it keeps me off of any other part of you

Ye not be getting the chance lassie, Vi's all the wench a man needs and more Ye can be answering all the questions ye like, don't mean ter say yer telling the truth. ye can call Vi all ye like, but ye'll be eating yer words when she solves this, that wench can mulitask

Ter be honest, I'll be that stunned if I be gettin' this right I'll probably not even notice of yer do that thing with yer thumb again 

Away ter the hotel again...unless yer fancy a go in the riggin' Lancey boy? 

Night all, don't be doin'anythin' I wouldn't 

I'll be with yer shortly me buxom wench

*runs for bottle of medicine*

I'll be settling fer the bed lassie, it's dark and I don't want to be fallin in the hole hold

Arrrgh! Me B'thday hangover be all cleared up now 

Got m'sel a cracking new cat offa me best buddy Muf

*tests out on nearest unprotected arse*

I seem to remember the Cat used to be ussed on the back.. This new ass whipping lark needs to be kicked in the Butt.

Youch!

Yarrrrgh!

For that I be giving you the choice.. 10 on the  back or.... 10 on the arrrrr[gh]se?!?

Ye come near me with that laddie, it will be sticking out of yer arse before high tide and I'll be shoving it downwards

Well me Hearties that be the

END OF ROUND TWO

*staggers around town like John Wayne minus his horse....decides walking is not possible...heads to bar and orders an bottle of rum and a cold compress.....glugs the rum and puts cold compress in knickers*

Best ter be gettin' meself sorted and ready fer ternight, I be hopin' one of that there scurvy lot will be a droppin' themselves in it ternight an' I can get this here murrrrder solved. 

* staggers in like John Wayne's horse that's just done 70 laps of the Grand National... heads to bar and orders rum and starch... glugs rum and sticks starch down breeches and hopes there are plenty of clues tonight to keep Vi occupied until I recover later*

Argh and all that

Being used to the more restricted regime of the Royal Navy where-by one was given a tot of rum each day.. I fear I may have overdone the tradition in the rather less controlled environment of this Pirates den. Though my head doth ache and my stomach seeks to empty itself over the side of this  rotten piece of timber laughingly called a ship by you all, I have had the chance to  gain som interesting information.

When my head finally clears I will digest (Wretches) the snippets confided to me and perhaps come to a conclusion as to  a most interesting motive for Murder

I bid you all evening. There is a hint of a storm in the air tonight.

what ye be talkin' about ye frozen faced wench?

Wouldn't you like to know cornbeef brains

aye, I would! ye likely no nothing ye old gas bag, or attention seeking. I still reckon you had more to do with just trying to capture the Cap'n

Carry, you vile creature, don't you dare throw up anywhere near me. Shouldn't you be in isolation or somethin'? Maybe you should see Mr Force and see if he can't give you somethin' for it? SPeakin' of Mr Force, Ah need a word with him, Ah have a teeny proposition for him. Ah have heard that he is not adverse, like mahself, to tryin' to make good from a bad situation.

While ye all seem to be wanting to ask a question or two, I'd like a word with that Eave Hore, Hoe, Whore, whatever her name be and where be that Barnie?.... drunk bragging somewhere no doubt.

Ah need a word with that awful Yu Lie woman so Ah may well need you to hang around and translate for me Lance, you seem to be able to understand what she's a sayin'.

I think we will all have to work together on the translation wench

Lance, have we boarded the Marie Celeste tonight?

Don't you worry now Sophie, I would not waste my bile on you Prancealot makes a better target, I couldnt miss!

Speaking of Yu Lie.. It was her from whom I extracted me snippet.

Somehow i understood what she said?? Amazing what Rum can do for ye eh?

She was prattling on about her strong desire to give up her life of piracy and expressing her deep wish to start up a Chinese restaurant  and then start a family.

Now just where do you think she was planning on getting the funds to do that.

I never got a chance to ask her she seems to forget the ability to speaky thy Kings tongue...
