I be wanting him too, he be in demand me thinks

I have a few questions for the scurvy dog - I bet he be in yonder inn getting tiddled and annoying the wenches again 

he be getting tiddled and bragging, he's one scurvy dog Warren Pengy 

thank you fair lady *kisses hand*   I'll leave him a message and bid you all adieu 

oh ye gods, them there landlubbers be a tryin' ter get in on the act again. Tis that scurvy reporter wench, be off with ye, surely there be some aged Lord and his Mistress who's pigeon's need a nobblin'?

oh sh*t I ain't been talking to her, she taped me convo, must be a Murdock employee

Barnie many's the time you took charge of the Blackbird's wheel and steered a steady course with a steady windy at your sails.    Didn't ye say that ye were looking forward to making landfall at Montezuma's island as ye felt ye would find your fortune there?

Now Barnacle Barnie is that because ye saw ole Inky bury his treasure there???  Did ye intend to get that there treasure after ye did the cap'n in? 

has she hacked you BJ??? did it hurt?

As long as she ain't a followin' ye later, I'll not be wantin' me fine figure splashed across the front of her rag. Mind ye, if the pictures be done all tasteful and are accompanied by a witty or intellectual comment of mine and are mebbe on the third page of this rag, then mebbe I'd be a considerin' it.

If this be true then it would be appearin' that Barnie ain't the ol' dinosaur I thought he be. He be quite smart and devious.

I've paid her for the airbrush lassie, ye'll be fine

yer now a 38g, and no stretch marks...I'm one gent

well I'll wait in my cabin until that scoundrel comes in and accounts for himself 

He been bragging all over freeport he is the best sailor No mone questions him because of his temper...he be the one so mad to murder the Cap'n, word spreads, he is one nasty piece of work

That be me size anyway (good guess or did I blab it around here?)....and I don't be havin' stretchmarks anyways....them there marks are made by yer own fair hands, I be thinkin' yer been a baker in a previous life the way ye be kneadin' them.

he needs to be in here answering for himself the ruffian   *runs away in case he appears*

I was thinking the very self thing meself lassie, flawless...that's my Vi

Raht, Ah am off to mah bed now, Ah have a verreh important breakfast meetin' with three men and Ah want to look mah verreh best for them. Well for Jake and David anyway, that Eddie felleh has no style sense at all

Ah will be back tomorrow and Ah hope that Yu Lie and Gayle Force can drag themselves away from the grog, or maybe it's each other? Ah have some questions for the pair of them.

Nahty naht y'all

Lance, I be off too, ye know the routine 

Argghh!

I'm here, I'm here. You lot have questions? Ask away. I ain't got nawt to hide!

Methinks there are a couple o' questions to be asked of some of ye, as well:

Yo, Oakley! The night afore Cap'n's unfortunate demise, I spotted signal flags on the mast, and I made a note t' look 'em up (since I don't know much aboot flags, doncha know). Now that I know what they be meanin', I'm asking ye who ye were signalin', since I saw ye a'climbin' down the mast wit' th' verrry same flags tucked into yer smock.

Ye were clearly signalin' another ship to keep clear, maintain position, and stay outta th' harbor. What be the meanin' of that?? Answer me straight or I be performin' a "medical procedure" on ye.

That verrrry same night, I saw BJ sneakin' outta da Cap'n's cabin wit' a mysterious package tucked into his jerkin. He's yet to answer how he came by a key to the Cap'n's cabin....let alone what he was carryin' outta there.

I don't know 'bout no treasure, but I can tell ye that Cap'n Black stopped at Montezuma Island because his brother Jet be buried there, killed followin' a fierce battle at sea.

Yarrrgh

Funny Ye be mentioning that.

The night afore Black bought it, I be climbing the mast ter check that the way ahead be clear.

Just as the light be going I be sure that I caught sight of a set of sails on the horizon following in our wake. By the time I'd got me telescope out of me trousers it be too dark to confirm but I tell ye this, she be a big 'un! M'be even a man o' war

Kraaaaaagggh! 

I be saying a lot o' things.

T'only thing I saw 't cap'n bury thar be his brother Jet *mutters*(twice the pirate an' half the trouble o'wer  Inky)

I thought the Ol' Cap'n be going soft, nummer o' times we went back there so he could  visit Ol' Jets grave.

"Slap that wench Sliver'ass in irons as soon as she be setting foot aboard!

She be pilfer'n me booty an fing'rin' me ring!"

So it be seeming that ye weren't given t' Cap'ns Ring... Ye be taking' it by stealth    

What ye be saying 'bout that eh!??

Ah suggest you pay attention in the future you great lummox. Ah have already told y'all that Ah felt ol' Inky was a swindlin' me so Ah used to help mahself to what Ah felt was rightfully mahn. Ah mean, how was Ah eveh goin' to make any money if he continued to overcharge me like that? Ah tried so hard to be discreet about it all although Ah am not at all surprised that clever ol' Inky had sussed li'l ol' me out. Ah really was verreh foolish, wasn't Ah? Ah mean, Ah knew how he liked to keep an eye on y'all, so Ah should have known he would be a checkin' on me, shouldn't Ah?

And Ah have also already admitted that THAT ring was one of the items Ah liberated.

Less grog and more concentration form you Ah think Barnie

P'taaaaargggh

So yer knew that Inky was on to yar, and it'd be the long walk off a short plank for ye!

Did ye sneak onto the Blackbird early to put the ol' sea dog down?

Evening me ol' sea dogs! Been having me self an afternoon nap on account of that Warren Peace keeping me awake all night.

Quaaaaaaaarrrgh!

Ye be lookin' radiant tonight Eave.

Has 't ye done something different with ya hair?

Arrr... nice of you to be noticing Barnie.

I washed it

Shurrup or I'll tweak your bow and you won't like it

but..... but..... but..... did you know that the cap'n had a plan to administer one of Forcey's knock out  potions to ye   I heard tell that they were going to lift your comatose body on an island cos they thought you were trouble (and they be right about that)   anyhoo they were going to sail away and leave ye there - so old Inky didn't think that much of ye did he?

If it wasn't for Forcey ye'd be there, alone, all all alone on a deserted island with only your cat to play with 

Hmmm.... 'ere's the man himself If you keep talking in your sleep like that.... you're going to be sleeping in the hold.

what are ye on about I'll devour yer parrot, ye lily-livered matey... Yo ho ho an' a bottle o' rum!. 

If only you were uttering such banalities last night then I would have been able to ignore ye and go back to sleep

You were talkin' about treasure in your sleep. Naming landmarks and everyfing Summat about Deadman's Rocks and Skeleton Head ..... you wouldn't 'av 'appened to 'av seen the Cap'n's treasure map would ya now?

*staggers in*

A night with Vi and it takes me all day to recover and then it's time for bed again

Right me hearties, I will be catchin' up

well Ms Ho Ho Hoe funny ye should mention that - No!  I was hoping to lay my hands on it so I could get  my mitts on the treasure and retire early like.

As I was asleep I don't remember what places I was naming or in what context - did ye get any idea what I was blathering on about?

Ye needn't be talkin about anyone Eave, you spent most of yer time tryin to count what was in the treasure room and admirin' all the fine dress fabrics from the luggage of the of captured nobility. All of a suddeen ye have more concerns map reading and how to use a compass....tryin to make a quick getaway Eave, or were ye planning an expedition and if so where ye be going?

Arrgh Barnie...ye been in the tarvern braggin' again? After a few ales ye be sayin' yer the best sailor aboard the Blackbird smf not one person be arguing with ye because of yer temper. Did ye lose that temper with teh Cap'n so ye could take his place Barnie?

I'm the adverturous sort me BJ. Always on the look out for somewhere to explore.

If you must know, I was planning a little jaunt to Montezuma Island. I 'eard it's lovely this time of year

I borrowed the key Gayle... due to a unfortunate hand at cards I found myself a bit short of doubloons, I felt the Cap'n owed us more than we were gittin' Now he be dead I can come clean and say I did help meself to a few rings to help me out of a situation. That be all there was to it, I felt it was owed to me and I'm probably not the only one that thinks they were owed more of a share!

Enough to make me suspiciousousous.

You 'aven't 'appened upon a secret map on your wanderings about the ship 'av ya?
