Parenthood- C. Sturniolo (Chris’s Version)

—

☆SFW

From the moment Matt met you, he knew he wanted you to be the mother of his children. Both of your children were received with so much love and joy, but Matt still had to learn how to navigate being a boy dad and a girl dad.

☆ Your firstborn is a boy and Matt can’t contain the excitement he feels when he first finds out.

☆ He’s overprotective of you throughout the entire pregnancy, ready to take care of your every need.

☆ Your son is hyper, rambunctious, curious and a force to be reckoned with. He barges into the room with so much energy balled up into his small figure that he’s bouncing off the walls.

☆ When your daughter is born, she’s the complete opposite of your son. She’s calm, quiet, and docile.

☆ It takes Matt some time to adjust to having a baby girl, but as soon as he gets in the groove of it he can’t remember what life was like before having a daughter.

☆ Matt’s playing soccer outside with your son, playing pirates, boxing, and building elaborate Lego sets with him.

☆ “No dad! We’re pirates! We have to steal all the gold!” your son explains, adjusting his make-shift eyepatch.

☆ “I thought we were ninjas?!” Matt’s out of breath, running after a fast toddler was extremely tiring.

☆ “No! We just beat the ninjas! They tried sneaking onto the ship, remember?” Your son’s imagination was too fast for Matt to keep up with.

☆ “Argh matey,” Matt replies, ready to continue with the game.

☆ But when your daughter wants attention he’s playing dress up, attending a tea party, getting his nails and makeup done, and talking to all her stuffed animals.

☆ “Daddy Miss Twinkle is mad at you for eating her cookies!” your daughter whispers, almost like she’s gossiping.

☆ Matt has lost track over which stuffed animal is which, but he’s assuming Miss Twinkle is the unicorn across from him.

☆ “I’m sorry Miss Twinkle,” he apologizes, shaking the toy’s hand.

☆ “Dad that was Lady Unicorn. Miss Twinkle is the teddy bear in the pink dress,” your daughter slaps her forehead. “Oops,” he laughs, taking a fake sip of tea.

☆ Matt has learned to be silly, fatherhood softening him and allowing him to abandon all embarrassment.

☆ “What are you wearing?” you laugh, Matt’s serious face adding to the comedy of the situation.

☆ He’s fully decked out in a pizza costume, trying to make your children laugh. “I’m a piece of pizza,” he replies goofily, putting on his best Italian accent.

☆ “You’re so silly daddy,” your son giggles. In his eyes, Matt is the funniest person on the planet.

☆ Your daughter is not as amused, but she smiles nonetheless.

☆ Matt loves doing domestic things with his little family. He’ll randomly pull out a baking sheet, all the ingredients to make cookies, and throw on an apron.

☆ “You’re doing so good, baby,” he coos, watching as your daughter throws an entire, uncracked egg into the mixing bowl. He wasn’t going to use that batch, but the words of encouragement have her smiling.

☆ Children fight all the time, especially when they’re siblings, and your kids are no exception. The year age gap doesn’t help either, so you’ll often find your kids bickering over the smallest things.

☆ “It’s not your turn to play, though!” your son attempts to reason, yanking the controller out of his sisters hands.

☆ “You played all day bozo!” she replies, sticking her tongue out at him.

☆ Matt hears the fight from his room, reluctantly getting up from his comfortable spot on his bed and walking over to where his children are.

☆ “What’s going on?” he asks, arms crossed and a displeased look etched on his face.

☆ “She’s being so annoying, dad!” your son exclaims, and before Matt knows it his kids are pushing, slapping, and punching each other.

☆ “HEY! BEHAVE!” Matt pulls them off of each other, scolding them both without favoritism. He goes on to lecture them about the importance of siblings and doesn’t leave until they hug and make up.

☆ Matt’s entire camera roll is filled with videos and pictures of his kids. Kindergarten ceremonies, family vacations, first haircuts, candid photos; all of it is being documented by Matt at all times.

☆ If he’s ever away from home for a long time, he’s scrolling through his gallery and reminiscing on all his memories with his babies.

☆ Your son is obsessed with video games, something that he and Matt bond over. And although your daughter isn’t as invested, she’s still really good at them.

☆ Mortal Kombat is a game they all play and enjoy together.

☆ “Move over and watch the queen play,” your daughter jokes, taking the controller from Matt after watching him lose time and time again to her brother.

☆ “Yeah, you wish you could beat me,” your son scoffs, readying up for another round.

☆ Your daughter chooses a girly character, which has your son rolling his eyes, but as soon as the round begins he can’t get a single hit in.

☆ Matt is in shock at her level of expertise, she was using combos he didn’t even know about.

☆ “Okay my turn against you, babygirl,” Matt takes the controller from his son, ready to play all night long if he has to.

☆ Having teenagers is hard and tiring, Matt feels like he ages 10 years in just one day with the amount of stress his kids cause him.

☆ Your daughter’s brain is suddenly occupied with nothing but boys and your son is starting to take girls on dates.

☆ “That skirt is too short,” you warn your daughter.

☆ “It is not,” she fights back, genuinely finding nothing wrong with her provocative outfit.

☆ Matt doesn’t have to say anything, one stern look has her trudging back upstairs to change.

☆ “Dad can I borrow the car?” your son asks nervously, avoiding Matt’s eyes at all costs.

☆ “For?” Matt’s not stupid, he knows what teenagers do.

☆ “Nothing, just hanging with some friends,” your son replies, but it doesn’t take long for Matt to get the truth out of him.

☆ Overall, fatherhood has been extremely rewarding for Matt. He sees it in the way his children love and look out for each other and what a great mom you are.

☆ “I love you guys so much,” Matt gushes, pulling the three of you in for a group hug.

☆ “Dad stop being weird,” your son groans, your daughter seconds his statement, but they don’t pull away from the hug.

☆NSFW

Having two children can take up a lot of personal time, especially when your daughter needs you and your son needs Matt. There’s never really any time for you and Matt to just exist as a couple, but he works hard to make sure you feel special everyday.

☆ You’re cooking lunch, the pure domesticity of your actions being enough to turn Matt on.

☆ The kids are still at school and if he’s convincing enough, you’ll abandon whatever’s on the stove and let him please you.

☆ Sneaky arms are wrapping around your waist, rocking you back and forth to the beat of the music that plays lowly in the background.

☆ Matt’s lips find your neck, your head falling back onto his shoulder in pleasure.

☆ Before you know it, you’re bent over the kitchen counter and Matt’s balls deep in you. “Take it,” he grunts, his hands gripping your waist so tight there were sure to be bruises.

☆ The food on the stove burns and you end up ordering pizza.

☆ When the kids are old enough, you and Matt leave them at home alone while you run errands.

☆ Something as simple as a quick trip to the grocery store turns into heated, passionate car sex.

☆ The windows are foggy and the car rocks with each thrust, Matt’s arms wrapped tightly around your waist as you ride him in the front seat.

☆ “You’re so fucking sexy,” he grunts, falling more in love with you as you whimper out his name. It doesn’t take long for him to finish, a string of curse words falling from his lips.

☆ Most times you two just do it in the shower. It’s sweet and full of so much love.

☆ He’ll fuck you against the cold tile wall before scrubbing your back and washing your hair you.

☆ It’s the sweet moments like this that both of you cherish. “I love you so much,” he whispers, the warm water running down both your faces. “I love you too,” you reply with a smile, going in for a passionate kiss.

hear meeee out

shuhua tying miyeon up and teasing her wth message guns and other toys

toy haul - cmy x ysh

warning: suggestive smut, crack (i wasn't serious at allll), toy usage ofc, the b in bdsm, foreplay, slight teasing, multiple orgasms (squirting lightly mentioned), dom!shuhua (she's actually pretty nice this time around), sub!miyeon, fiction ofcofc

these two wackos went toy shopping lol

it was purely for shits and giggles

no, but it was, don't judge them *pouty face*

as they were searching in the store all decked out in their sunglasses and masks (gotta be inconspicuous), shuhua got pretty curious

call her 'scooby-doo', as she bought almost every female-targeted toy in the store to solve the mystery of what it does

preparation

back home, she politely asks miyeon to lay down so that she could test each one out

and miyeon, being the cute lady she is, inclines

to get her more in the mood, shuhua slowly undresses miyeon, watching intently at how she feels as miyeon's chest slowly rises and falls

every so often giving the older a kiss as an article of clothing falls off her silky smooth skin

soon enough the woman is naked as the day she was born, with shuhua following suit

look, was getting hot, okay?

shuhua uses the tangle-free, skin-safe rope she bought from the store to bind miyeon into a pretty shape she learned from a shibari video off of twitter

miyeon looks like a pretty butterfly, shuhua thinks

message gun usage

anyway, she gets the message gun and makes sure she reads the instructions thoroughly

luckily all the toys are pre-charged, so a little cleaning and some proper manual reading should do the trick

for the gun, miyeon was actually pretty relaxed as shuhua used it on her inner thighs

it was clearly meant to soothe the partner, in which it was working

shuhua ad to snap her fingers to get miyeon awake at least three times lol

next toy

egg vibrator usage

now this one was expensive

the one shuhua chose was in the shape of a mushroom, and can be used for when they go overseas (hehe)

as she was using it on miyeon, her clit instantly got erect, almost engorged to the hilt

yet as shuhua pushed it in, miyeon was whining at how the sensations were almost gone

while shuhua frowned at this she continued to tease the older by swirling the mushroom head around until miyeon protested

like, greatly protested

okay, next toy

the classic dick

i like the classic cock, you (hopefully) like the classic cock

everyone likes the classic cock

but when shuhua bought the 'most realistic penis toy' in the store

she didn't expect it to come with an extra instructions manual on the ejaculation part of the toy

despite grumbling on the extra work she had to put in, when she finally put it in miyeon (poor girl's been waiting for a least 10 minutes)

it was heaven

even moreso when shuhua added it with the mushroom egg

and all that for it to be swiftly taken away to be replaced with shuhua's long fingers

"cum for me, myeonnie", shuhua whispered in miyeon's ears

and the older one came hard with a pink-flushed face and a nearly red chest from the pleasure gathering up there, her nipples erect

a beautiful success, shuhua thinks

next toy

anal beads

another classic, but let's be honest

most of the time most people are either freaked out, or unaware of how it works

so did they(with how it works, not being freaked out)

once shuhua quickly searched up how to use it on your partner, she smirked almost wickedly

"no, no, shuhua. don't smile that. it makes me nervous," miyeon would caution

but ofc shuhua wouldn't do anything devious

or so miyeon was told, carefully turning over to rest on her knees with her bum in the air as her head rested on the pillows

anyway,

shuhua would lube both miyeon's ass and the beady toy

slowly pushing each bead inside the tight ring of her unnie until it was half-way in before slowly pulling each bead out

everything was going great

until the next toy was brought up

clit suctioner

shuhua spat on the inside part of the toy before gently bringing it to miyeon's clit

"what're you do-- ah- ahh!" miyeon moaned in sheer pleasure

all with the anal beads still going in and out of her ass

"that's it, let it all out for me," shuhua encouraged as miyeon was struggling and failing to keep her composure from the powerful sensation of both toys at once

it didn't help that, when she moved downwards, the suction would be harsher on her poor clit

but when she moved back, her ass would be in for a beady treat (okay im sorry)

fuck it, let's move on

climax

"ready?" shuhua asked miyeon, as she was preparing to take both toy out and have her cum on her tongue

miyeon nodded, prompting shuhua to let her go

with care and caution, along with firmness and roughness (just like how miyeon likes)

shuhua swiftly turned off the suctioner and pulled out the last of the beads toy before quickly spreading miyeon's hole

aggressively shoving her face in, shuhua licked, blew, and sucked harshly on miyeon

the older whined and screeched, smiling in between when she felt shuhua rub her butt soothingly

before she knew it, miyeon came with an "oh my god!", coating shuhua's face with the stickiness of satisfaction only shuhua knew she could give

they're definitely going to do more things like this again

#hear me out 2 #gidle smut #shuhua smut #miyeon smut

hey I saw your "there are no queens in this deck" gifset and I was literally thinking of that too during the episode. do you know what it means, like why Nat said there's no queens when there obviously is at least one?

Hey! It's kind of a hidden detail from 2x05, but as some of the girls are trying to get Javi to talk, while the screen focuses on Travis, we hear in the background Akilah say, "Hey Javi, where did you get that queen card?"

So as far as they knew, there were no queens in the deck, which is why they're curious. He came back with it after he'd been missing - and ultimately why they deemed it special enough to mean what it meant in episode 8. It had already chosen Javi, they just didn't realize it yet.

Somewhere in this interview, the creators also noted that the scene in 1x08 was an intentional easter egg for later.

Do you know any solo RPGs with a lighthearted or comic tone? I’m getting real stressed due to finals coming up and I’d like to just relax with something silly and/or cute.

THEME: Lighthearted Solo Games

Hello friend, I hope you find these suggestions helpful!

Global Dragon Egg Conservation, by KuumatheBronze.

Welcome to GDEC!

Thank you for your interest in our company. We're incredibly excited to welcome you to the ranks of the Global Dragon Egg Conservation!

Journal each day with the Dragon Eggs you’ve been given to take care of. Use a deck of cards to randomly generate story prompts, such as eggs elements and preferred nesting materials! Overcome adversity and grow along with your eggs! Watch your beautiful babies fly away knowing you’ve done something amazing.

This is a game that can be played fairly quickly, which is great if you’re balancing a lot of other things but you still want a chance to just sit down and have a brain break. You’ll use a deck of cards to generate eggs and put together interesting little nests, coming up with ideas about the dragons inside as you manage predators, boredom, and wildly different needs. Let your imagination run free!

Merchant, by Hella Big Claws.

"Hello Traveler! Would you perhaps care to buy a sword that tells you how to cook? How about a necklace, that sacrifices all your hair for tough scales? Maybe a nice wine, from the world before. How ab- oh. No? O-ok...."

Merchant is a single player game about creating a small demon merchant, and the wares they wish to sell.

With only two pages of rules, this is a game that is quick to pick up, easy to play, and allows you to create a little stall for your merchant character to live in. It’s very rules light and gives you a little character to sit in the back of your head (and possibly show up in future games that need a demon merchant!)

Sidekick Story, by Ive Sorocuk.

You are the sidekick of a missing superhero!

Discover what happened to your partner by visiting locations and finding clues, but be careful of the other super-happenings in town!

created for the Hints and Hijinx Jam.

The Hints and Hijinx system usually makes use of two skills that will reduce the size of your skill if you roll poorly, but give you clues on a success. Similar to the Breathless system, you can reset your skills, but you can only do it once per game. You’ll play through three stages: a set-up, an investigation, and a Deduction. Your chances of a proper Deduction grow with each clue unearthed - use your imagination (and provided prompts) to fill out locations, construct clues, and describe the investigation process.

This specific game is pretty light-hearted due to the setting and genre, although you probably have the ability to make it more or less serious depending on how dire you think the superheroes’ situation is.

Magizoology, by Missy P.

You are the zoologist on a research team tasked with gathering information about an alien planet filled with strange and fantastical creatures. You are curious to see how these creatures use their elemental magic in their daily lives.

Magizoology is a single-player journaling game based on Takuma Okada's Alone Among The Stars. It requires a standard deck of cards, a six-sided die, a place to record your encounters, and an active imagination.

As a creature-cataloguing game this gives your body a chance to rest and your brain a chance to wander. Create some funky creatures! Give them magic powers! Make notes about their behaviour and fill your catalog! You can play this game for as long or as little as you like - whenever you think your scientist is done, you can call it a day. Perfect for those who are short on time and just need a little break.

Games I’ve Recommended in the Past

Hi, I stumbled upon your content while I was binging franzfan23's Toku Group Chats series. You've added so many new ships to my gallery (mostly Magine/Rekai, and I thank you for that)

Anyways, I wanted to request a minific with the prompt of Magine and Reika being mothers (either via magic baby summoning or adopt, maybe just be born from an egg like Ise) I just want those two to be happy, meanwhile Decade and Marvelous are just taking bets on if the kid will end up being a Rider or Super Sentai

Aw, thanks! The gcs actually started off as stuff Mana (@askrikkaiandhyotei /franzfan23) requested from me and it has since took on a life of its own lmao.

I haven't actually done minifics in a while, I kinda got burnt out after all the requests and life keeps happening so I don't really have the time to do them anymore lol. I'm not going to reopen requests again for the meantime, but because you asked nicely I'll try my best to do one this time~

"So, I suppose you've heard the news from through grapevine, huh?"

The pirate captain snorted as the intruder made himself at home, lounging on the couch opposite his seat at the helm of the ship. "Yeah, Gai wouldn't shut up about it." He rolled his eyes heavenward. "That kouhai of yours, what exactly can't he do with that sword of his?"

"Who knows?" Tsukasa shrugged. "Though, that serious sword lady and her robo girlfriend seemed happy enough, and the doc gave her a clean bill of health, so no one's really complaining." He absently tapped at the shutter button of his camera, as though he were itching to snap a photo.

"Her name's Magine," Marvelous said absently, twirling the key representing her team's leader in his hand. "I still don't get how the guy managed to make a half-human, half-Kikainoid baby."

"He's Book Jesus." Tsukasa said as if that explained everything. "He's already remade two worlds, I suppose this is practically child's play to the novelist." He laughed at the unintended pun he made. "Not to mention how his own kid was born." He stretched out, putting his feet up on the coffee table. "I think they're gonna split their time between universes, though I heard the sword lady's brother was trying to get them to stay with them at that base they have in Antartica. Weird place to raise a kid, but whatever."

Marvelous nodded, accepting the rather ridiculous explanation- it's not like he's heard of (or indeed, witnessed) crazier things than these claims. "So, what do you reckon the kid would be like?"

Tsukasa raised a brow at his counterpart. "Already wanting to take her Grand Power for yourself? She's not even two days old."

"You say that as if you aren't curious to see what a Kikainoid- or a half-Kikainoid in this case- would have for a Final Attack Ride," Marvelous rebutted. "So, how much do you put on the kid being a Rider?"

Tsukasa thought for a moment. "Ten thousand dollarks," he said. "And I clean the poop deck of the Galleon and the other mechs for a month," he offered. "How about you, what do you put on the sprog being a Sentai?'

"I'll match your amount," Marvelous countered. "And I'll take the blame for your shenanigans for a week."

"Just a week? My offer was a month!" Tsukasa pointed out in outrage.

"I know what you get up to. I'm not insane, Kadoya." Marvelous replied. "That doctor guy scares me, and I'm not keen on getting arrested by that copper, either."

"Fine. I agree to your terms." Tsukasa relented, but his face was set with a knowing, triumphant grin. "May the best man win, pirate."

Imma be honest I usually hate posting about my own works because I get embarrassed immediately afterwards BUT. And this is a big but. I really want to share this !! Because I've been planning (and now writing!!!!!!! Yippee!!!) a little (not little) book inspired by the Temeraire series. But with pirates!!!! And also privateers, theyre one of my favourite history tidbits

(I have not written many book blurbs before so this a new one for me)

Set in the early 1700s, amid the Golden Age of piracy, Timor tells the tale of a pirate captain caught in strange tides. When the Delight, captained by Jean Linsey, captures and raids a merchant ship, her crew finds something peculiar in the hold: the remnants of a dragon's egg, with no hatchling to be found.

The men are curious; their anxieties are short-lived, for as they draw from the raided ship, they find themselves struck by the presence of a dragonet — It has ravaged the deck, and could only be the mysterious missing hatchling.

The young dragon is thin, and by all assumptions a feral beast; it must be caught, and is restrained in the ship's hold. To his shock Linsey finds that the dragon is not only intelligent, but bonds with him almost immediately, setting the course for a whole new chapter of his life.

The dragon, he names Timor, after the Australian sea -- but while they navigate the course of their strange circumstance, Linsey finds it is not so easy to captain a dragon as it is a ship, for below the waves of the Atlantic, something monstrous is near…

(Or, to summarise, pirate captain Jean Linsey is forcefully adopted by a large stray cat, who is also a dragon, and immediately has the worst few months of his life)

#there are also sea monsters. i couldnt resist #its a pirate story theres gotta be a kraken #also the temeraire inspiration is kind of obvious when you read it. considering its man-on-boat-gets-dragon #but crossing my fingers it doesnt turn out too similar #i dont think it will but. that would make me sad #anyways #how do i tag this !!#i might (MIGHT) start posting the first couple chapters here #if that would be cool....(autism eyes)#hoping the boat puns are obvious enough btw #“tides” “course” because boat. because pirate. geddit. geddit.#im reaching here #started. tag ramble i dont know how to finish #OH also the pirate crew has a ship's cat her name is Estella

pirates!!!! (all except Bayonet belong to @kougracrusader!!!)

bonus relationship chart under the cut, and more information!! (and if you're curious about any of these guys, feel free to send an ask- they all have more story/development but I didn't want to just infodump!!!!)

some notes/fun facts:

-Bay stole his ship from the Meridellian navy after becoming very disillusioned with the military; he was third in command of the ship and his captain was extremely corrupt, and he hated it. So when the perfect opportunity arose, he stole the ship (with the help of Sabre) and never looked back!

-Weller was in the navy with Bay, which is how they know each other and why they trust one another so much

-Tor is short for Traitor; he got that nickname when he was brutally forced out of Maraqua. Maverick fished him up accidentally and enlisted the help of Bones to secretly nurse Tor back to health, because he was nearly killed when he was exiled! Tor is the newest member of the crew; Bay decided Tor should make himself useful if he was gonna stick around. He scouts around the ship from underwater and seeks out treasure and/or possible threats from below.

-Yes Bones is named that because Ren and I are trekkies!!!!

-Sabre's Draik egg DOES eventually hatch and they name it Dagger :) baby on board!!

-Gail is actually a great cook! But Weller doesn't let him go crazy with ingredients/rations unless Bay gives advance permission, so Gail usually makes... what can only be described as slops. He likes to make weird food for fun!

-Maverick is the youngest member of the crew, at only 19! He actually was interested in astronomy before Bay recruited him, and his knowledge of the stars makes him an even better navigator.

-Weller and Bones would never actually mention that they're friends, but if you asked each of them individually which crew member they get along the best with, they would name each other.

-Gail pisses everyone off because he loves to instigate! But he and Sabre actually get along pretty well as troublemaking buddies.

-Bay trusts Sabre with his life. He respects Sabre So Much!!! And on the other side of the coin, Bay is Sabre's whole world. They wuv each other 💙

-Bones is someone who keeps secrets to his grave; you can tell him anything!

-Weller tends to keep to himself and takes his work seriously; you'll frequently find him holed up below the decks, counting and recounting and note taking and recordkeeping. He's really stoic and doesn't emote much. Good luck appealing to his emotional side if you need to ask him for extra toilet paper.

-Bay is actually wearing the eyepatch because he is missing one eye, rather than as an accessory. The same scuffle cost him his eye and one of his ears. He now keeps something very, very precious to him in the space where his eye used to be, and the crew knows better than to try to get a look at it or take it.

Fanfic Snippet - Questionable methods

The crew is sailing to the sultanate of Erish - first of the three places on the treasure map, where they have to break into a heavily guarded prison and retrieve a clue. It won't be easy - Erish's territorial waters are always rough and stormy. Only if you have a licenced guide from sultanate's navy you can expect to make it to the shore. And they, of course, don't have it.

But even if they are already close and should be getting ready to scheme their way in, it is a certain time of the week - and Hans has to do something he would really prefer not to do. So, to be absolutely sure he will not fail to do so, he ordered his quartermaster, Egg, to help him with it.

It was convenient that the correspondance between the ships was constant and he knew when Morgan – Layla’s postal eagle – will appear on his balcony. Too bad it was the most puffed up bird the world has ever seen.

„Here” he said, annoyed with his attitude, passing a piece of smoked beef towards the beak. „Is it enough or are you gonna continue arguing with me?”

Morgan devoured his paycheck and, in the most condescending manner, put his leg up, so Hans could tie a letter to it.

„Huh, I am making yet another debt”. The captain sighed, while observing the messenger flying towards horizon. „Well. To be honest, I am curious how they are gonna make it to Erish”.

„Knowing Layla – she is probably planning to charm everyone with her gracefulness”.

Hans rolled his eyes; he already made peace with the fact that not a single member of his crew ever knocks before coming into his cabin.

„So what you are suggesting is – they are going to approach their nearest vessel, then she is gonna undo two buttons on her shirt, tie a corset a little tighter and everybody will be at her feet immediately?”

„Works almost every time”. Egg shrugged. "Sailors are simple lads, in every corner of the world".

„Ye… If she would undo three buttons, they would probably make her a Grand Visier”.

„Or a sultan”.

They laughed together, but only for a brief moment. At the end, Egg came for a specific reason.

„So… are you ready?”.

Hans looked at the clock. Two minutes to seven, Friday’s evening. The time has come, like it did every week.

„Ready”. He exhaled heavily and went to lay down on his hammock. „Tie me up. The deck is yours”.

Egg, fastly and skilfully, threaded thin but sturdy leather straps through holes on the edge of a fabric. Just like he would do with shoelaces. Hans gritted his teeth, seeing his legs disappearing under the cloth. Every time he felt like he was being swallowed by a whale again.

„Damn, and I had to pass on such a nice dinner”. He complained, feeling both tightness and emptyness in his stomach. „Do you think there was something left for tomorrow?”.

„You know Gudrun is always making you noodles with poppy seeds the next day. And you know she bought a whole sack of walnuts. And raisins”.

„Neptune was watching over us when we recruited her”.

„Aye. Alright…” Egg pulled the straps once again, just above the captain’s chest, then went to one of the cupboards. He retrieved a bottle with hellishly red liquid inside, sealed with a cork. On the top of it there was a scorched sigil, on the sight of which the quartermaster really wanted to throw some salt over his left shoulder. „You are running short on it”.

„I know. We will have to sail to the Republic soon. I think the next place on our map is somewhere nearby, so, in the meantime… maybe we will be able to pay a visit”.

„I know I am always asking it, but… are you sure it is safe?”.

Hans adjusted his pillow and made sure that there is a bucket somewhere in close proximity.

„And I am telling you every time – I have no idea” he said. „But it is not relevant if it is safe. The important part is – it is necessary”.

„I would argue”.

„Don’t, just give it to me”.

Egg sighed and handed over the bottle, at the same time pulling off his own flask with grogg.

„So… skål?”.

The captain pulled of a cork. For a second they could swear they heard a strange, unsettling noise – like if the liquid hissed.

„Skål”.

They drunk together. For Egg it was nice – rum mixed with citruses and a spoonful of honey was, in fact, the most favourite drink of any pirate.

For Hans it was like he was swallowing shattered glass.

„Goodnight, captain”. The quartermaster tugged the straps one more time and tied it, closing him in a hammock like it was a cocoon. Or a shroud, he thought for a moment but brushed it off immediately. „Good luck”.

The only answer was a muffled wail of pain.

Love Like Whoa

I’m just tryna get to know you baby

What’s ya name and where ya from

All the things I can show you lady

Cause in my eyes you are the one

To spark the interest of love

I’m curious just how you do it

Seductively how you move it and groove it

Keep it like that don’t ya lose it

Don’t wanna be such a nuisance

But see it, want it, gotta have it

So tell me if it’s cool, would I be a fool

To put all my eggs in one basket

And not trip on my way to the destination

I’ll be ready if given the chance

Such true love at first glance

My heart beats to the tune of this dance of romance

Too reserved but you got me outta my shell

Feeling myself but I’m feeling you even harder

Couple failed relationships made me smarter

As they bailed, and oh well ship sailed

Call me crazy but I’m all in

Like a full deck of cards, it’s a hit

Rendezvous and it’s form of pure bliss

Serenaded by true love’s first kiss

Can’t tell me that it gets any better than this

Splatoon 3 Theory Post: DLC Villain

[WARNING: THIS POST WILL CONTAIN MAJOR SPLATOON 3 STORY MODE SPOILERS AS WELL AS MINOR IN-GAME SPOILERS! VIEW AT YOUR OWN RISK!!]

So who exactly may be the villain of the Large Scale DLC?

PREFACE: I do not claim ownership of this theory, this actually has been discussed in a few places around the internet, BUT I'd love to do a deep dive on it, so here we go!

(If you're already aware of this theory, that's fine! This one is for the folks who may not know yet!)

The villain for the DLC...

Li'l Judd

Main Points:

-Li'l Judd is not anywhere to be seen in the plaza, the lobby, or anywhere else. You can find Judd in the Lobby just napping away! In Splatoon 2, Li'l Judd was always around him, but he is noticeably missing...

[STORY SPOILERS START HERE]

-Now we find out in Splatoon 3 that Mr. Grizz is the villain and you basically have to go up into space and defeat him! If you're reading this post, I assume you know this by now! If you read the After Alterna logs, it describes his entire history, that basically his goal is to bring Mammals back to the earth through all the power eggs/golden eggs he got! BLA BLA BLA ANYWAY:

-Something interesting to note...Is that after you defeat Mr. Grizz in Story Mode, something changes in the game

He suddenly gains a headset

This isn't on his model until AFTER you beat the story mode. Also interesting to note that the Grizz Statue in Salmon Run changes too!

The Salmon is now eating the bear! This could just be a fun callback to his defeat, BUT I AM CURIOUS...

NOW, NOT ONLY -THAT-...BUT WE LOOK TO NONE OTHER THAN TABLETURF BATTLE

-Li'l Judd is a competitor in this game! You can battle him as you level up and unlock new opponents. He's not even the last one, just kinda squeezed in after Judd! HOWEVER...HIS DECK...

IS LARGELY -SALMON RUN BASED-. That's his card sleeve up there! Not only that but he has several cards OF Salmonids in his actual playing deck. Why is he so connected to Salmon Run all of the sudden?

Now if we remember, one of his canon lore tidbits is: He wants to take over Judd's spot basically!

HE IS AN ANGRY LITTLE KITTY

WITH SOME VERY CONCERNING DIALOGUE...

He knew "the moment from his birth" he was just a clone of Judd! With that, he is probably aware of what happened with the humans, and maybe what happened with Grizz?

Another thing to remember is, Judd canonly has psychic powers that can transmit thoughts to everyone on a wide scale (which is how he speaks with the player, and brings the results of battles!)

Wouldn't that mean Li'l Judd also has that power as a clone?

Are the Salmon Run messages still pre-recorded? Or is Li'l Judd also all-seeing, and is just commentating as "Mr. Grizz" now that Grizz is actually gone? THIS IS PROBS A STRETCH, but cats do stereotypically love to eat fish as much as bears do!

ALSO THE FINAL REACH I HAVE:

In the FinalFest art, he is suspiciously close to Mr. Grizz, on Team Chaos, and is Trying To Eat DJ Octavio who seems to not care /bricked

I feel like it can't just be a coincidence that he JUST so happened to get a communication device after Mr. Grizz is gone. Why didn't he start the game with it?

SO, THAT'S MY INCREDIBLY LONG WINDED RAMBLE! I'd love to hear people's thoughts if they have anything to add or any theories based off of this! Even if none of it turns out to be true, it's a lot of fun to speculate!

#Splatoon 3 #Splatoon3Spoilers #S3Spoilers #Spoilers #Long Post #Speculation #Theory #SORRY IT'S SUPER LONG BUT IT HAS PICTURES!! /dies #I wanted to collect it all in one place to reference later!

Wayward Waters Chapter 13

——————————————————————————

Hello everyone! Chapter 13!

things (and chaos) picking up!!

this Story contains Vore, Dont like dont read.

have fun reading!

and as always Reblogs are appreciated! (Also ASK’s are open so feel free to bother me!)

AO3 Link for those that prefer the layout there;

AO3 Wayward waters

——————————————————————————

The next time I woke up it was to something knocking on the round window of the room.

This was a ship, who or what in the fuck could knock on the outside?

Imugi apparently, she was tapping at the wooden ring around the window with her beak like a curious parrot.

“I'm up, I'm up, you can stop putting dents in the wood!”

She whistle-clicked and the shadow of her head disappeared.

Slowly getting up and stretching I noticed loud singing from outside.

It was pretty catchy actually, and with how it sounded nearly all ships must be singing it right now.

What do we do with a drunken sailor?

Early in the morning

Way, hay and up she rises

Early in the morning

Shave his belly with a rusty razor

Early in the morning

Way, hay and up she rises

Early in the morning

Put him in a longboat 'till he's sober

Early in the morning

Way, hay and up she rises

Early in the morning

Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom

Early in the morning

Way, hay and up she rises

Early in the morning

Give him a dose of salt and water

Early in the morning

Way, hay

Oh way, hay

Oh, early in the morning

That's what we do with a drunken sailor

Early in the morning

Way, hay and up she rises

Early in the morning

Whether it was for team building,

intimidation or just fun was beyond me though.

I found myself humming along as they started up again,

still pretty unfamiliar with the text as I walked out onto the deck,

still very much half asleep.

I was handed a bowl with scrambled eggs by Yamet,

who hastily wished me a good morning, which I ate while all of them fought with the sail that had apparently become a bit loose.

Judging by the sun it was not yet midday, but not early morning either.

Maybe around ten or so.

Shoveling pieces of egg into my mouth I looked over to the myriad of other ships,

noticing that the giant vessel Call Of The Damned was still to our right with the Revenants Vestige Nowhere to be seen but looking around I spotted the Bleeding Moon at least,

all the way at the end of the very mismatched convoy of ships.

Smart, having his ships at these positions made it probably easier to give out orders.

Though it was rather daunting to see how much the little Halcyon was dwarfed by the colossal ship.

Where the fuck did one even get wood big enough for something this size?

Not to mention the steel ‘ribs’ that hugged the wooden frame like a corpse.

Yeah the name for it was very fitting, and I counted twelve of those ‘Ribs’ on this side alone.

So twenty four in total, just like a human.

Yeah that was so done on purpose.

Hearing a rapid tap tap tap I turned around to see Jamie walk fast towards me.

I had enough foresight to quickly shove the rest of egg into my mouth and then hold the bowl out of harm's way as Jamie ignored personal space and climbed up to perch on my shoulder.

“Are you a parrot now?”

They shrugged.

“Nah, but you do make a good perch, Ronan just falls over and Imik’s shoulder are to narrow”

So the only other ones they could perch on were Yamet and Akeem,

and Yamet for sure would not let them from what I've seen thus far.

“I have no idea if that a compliment or not, but for now i'm choosing to take it as one, also good morning”

“Morning! Also you should go to the Call Of The Damned!

There is a surprise for you!”

A surprise? What?

Would I finally get a useful map to find back to Kamerasca?

Why the fuck did i need to go on another Ship fro that?

Was Cassidy just wanting to see my face when I got it? Maybe.

Also how the fuck was i supposed to get there?

“Uh, Jamie how the fuck am i supposed to get on there?

The Call Of The Damned is like five times as tall as your entire Boat!”

Laying a plank would be awfully steep, if not unclimbable.

Jamie hopped down from my shoulder and walked towards the railing, making a whistling noise that made Images head pop up.

“They got some sort of pulley system, Imugi can just toss you in the basket and they'll pull you up”

Huh, convenient, well a ship that size probably needed something like that.

Imugi whistle-clicked and put her head on the deck, but before I could try to climb on, Shalimar had rushed past me and clambered on top of Imugi’s head, which meant that I had to hold on to the topmost spike.

“I'm coming with! Gotta annoy my dad a little!”

Yeah sure, whatever, as long as she didn't push me off that was fine.

So, holding on for dear life Imugi brought both of us over to the Call Of The Damned where they had already let down a platform to climb on.

Though getting off of Imugi and onto it was a bit difficult as the ocean itself crashed against the ship like the tide against a wall.

Looking up it also seemed to stretch on to the sky nearly forever now that I was so up close.

Someone with magic MUST have helped build this.

Slipping a little, Shalimar grabbed me by the back of my shirt and dragged me onto the platform before giving Imugi a little Kiss as a thank you.

I thanked her for the help as the platform was slowly pulled up, swaying dangerously at some parts.

Going up slowly I wondered how many floors this ship even had, with how big it was surely a few at least.

Also how was it staying afloat with the big metal ‘Ribs’ anyway?

Getting near the top Shalimar did not wait and just scaled the wood, climbing the last few meters and hopping over the railing, which up close was fashioned after bones as well.

They really went all out with the theme didn't they?

Looked scarily real too and I decided not to take a closer look.

Hopping over the railing after the platform was level with it, I was greeted by Cassidy himself.

Who had Shalimar trying to steal his sword so he had to keep her an arms length away by grabbing her head.

“Hello! I hope the ride up wasn't too bad, and excuse my daughter she- Augh! Shalimar stop!”

Shalimar had managed to snag his sword and elbow his side only to run under his arm away to the ladder that led up the middle mast.

“Hell, no wonder her mother left her with me!

Anyway, as i was about say-”

His sentence was once again interrupted by a shrill scream.

“DONOVAN!”

There was only one person that could shriek like that, and turning around there was indeed a familiar redheaded form,

barreling straight at me with no regard for anything in the way.

“ROBIN!”

What was he doing here?

Nevermind, hug first questions later!

He slammed into me and I wrapped my arms around my best friend, slightly lifting the smaller up off the ground.

He squeaked and clung tightly to my neck, refusing to let go.

“I'm so glad you're okay!”

“So am i! Is everyone else also okay? Are you okay? Is Rikaad okay?”

He nodded and muffled something into my chest.

“Mhm, I'm fine! And Rikaad is like always”

Thank fuck everyone was okay! Wait where was Rikaad anyway?

“Where is he anyway? And where is the Victory Rose?”

The little Ginger reluctantly let go of me and pointed to the other side of the ship from which I had come from.

“The Victory Rose is towed to some other ship!

I think it's called Revenant's Vestige?!

And Rikaad is in a Cabin with Nemas and Leon”

Ah, so he was probably planning what to do now with Nemas,

and Leon was probably the captain of the Revenants Vestige.

Robin Grabbed my arm and started Dragging me towards the back part of the ship.

“He's gonna be so happy to see you're okay!

He slept even less than normal!

And he was always looking through a telescope to try and find you!

Well until the ship's Doc told him if he kept staring at the reflective water he'd damage his eyes!”

He did? He’d shoved aside as much time as he could to look for me?

Well, at least he might have learned to delegate tasks now?

“Really? I hope i didn't worry you all too much then, i know i worried about you a lot”

I really had, even though I had tried my best not to think about it.

Robin slowed down and stopped not far from the door he had aimed at, for a moment not looking at me.

“...I- when I saw you fall overboard I thought the worst, but Rikaad assured me you'd be alright,

that you're too sturdy to let that keep you down, especially as Ardua.

I'm not sure how much i believed him, i mean i did see the mast crash onto your head and then you were gone and you didn't resurface, i was just afraid id never see you again”

“You know, I also thought I'd never see you again, After all, when I fell over the storm was still there and I worried a lot on whether or not the ship had sunk.

Ronan had to assure me quite a bit that a big ship like the Victory Rose was unlikely to sink.

Also that mast gave me a nasty bump for sure”

He finally smiled again, hugging me again.

“Who's Ronan?”

Oh right, Robin had absolutely no idea.

“Ronan is the guy that fished me out of the water and then threw an electric eel at me to wake me up”

Robin just stared confusedly.

“He what? Why?”

“Quite frankly? Not sure but i guess waking me up other ways failed, now lets go tell Rikaad im back!

I wanna see his face when he sees I'm alright!”

The little Ginger nodded and knocked on the door before opening it.

“Rikaad! Look! Donovan is back!”

The room was dimly lit, only thanks to a window and Rikaad himself sat at a table with the Captain Nemas of the Victory Rose and someone who didn't look over nineteen and was currently playing with a piece of the table that had broken off, sharpening it with his nails.

Definitely not a captain, and pretty unhappy looking, maybe a captured Pirate?

Rikaad stood up as he saw me, walking towards me and awkwardly standing there for a moment before giving a quick and rather stiff hug.

“I'm glad you're okay, everything still in place? Now i know why Captain Cassidy told us to come onboard and have the Victory Rose towed out of sight on the side here”

Oh so Cassidy did all that just for this to be a surprise? Those guys sure were something else.

“So they did all that, maneuvering ships and not telling me exactly why to get on here aside from some ‘surprise’

just so the Surprise of seeing each other was bigger?”

Rikaad nodded.

“I did suspect he already knew where you were from the way he acted when we asked if anybody had seen you, but i decided not to anger potential allies”

Oh right, the pirate thing was still on, and the main reason we were here anyway.

Suddenly the piece of broken table was flying at Rikaad, who caught it in one hand shortly before it embedded itself in his shoulder without so much as flinching.

I stared at the one that had thrown it, the short haired young man who if I recalled correctly was named Leon was baring his teeth and his face was distorted in an unhappy grimace.

“Do we get to kick ass anytime soon or are we just gonna sit here and yap about it! The longer we wait the less accurate our information gets!”

Something about this young man was off, and then I noticed it, slightly pointy ears, still short and round enough to pass as human, and teeth that had canines just a tad too pointy with weirdly pale brown eyes, nearly beige.

Huh, so Fae blood could get diluted to that point? Interesting.

Also information? I looked at Rikaad.

“Ah yes you don't know our new acquaintance here, This is Leon of Synef, Leon this is my dear friend Donovan Verney.

Leon here is so nice to help us fight the pirates, by giving us a scroll with their plans he had stolen in some harbor”

“Eh, i just wanted some supplies and didn't have money, i took that bag cuz the owner talked shit about me and kicked a cat, so i say deserved”

He Leaned back and put his boots on the table, earning a disapproving look from Nemas.

I decided to ignore the rudeness of this Leon guy and instead be thankful that we had any information at all.

Suddenly Robin piped up again after staring confusedly at Leon.

“So what now? Do you think we could get all our People from the Victory Rose on this ship? I mean it's still partially broken!

Especially after that seamonster took a bite out of it”

What.

“You were attacked by a sea monster? Are you all okay?

What the hell happened while I was gone???”

I wasn't even gone that long! A week at most!

Robin Nodded and then pointed at Leon.

“The seamonster bit a piece out of the railing and then Leon whipped it right in the eye with a rope, and then stabbed its nose with a piece of the broken railing”

Leon let out a loud and humorless laugh.

“Stabbed is good! I bet that thing still swims around with a piece of wood way up its nostrils!”

Well, if it kept the thing from attacking more that was good?

“Ouch, hearing that makes me realize that the run in i had with a Sea Serpent went way better, then again Imugi is tame”

Shame she was probably the only one so friendly.

Robin's eyes went wide at hearing that.

“You met a tame sea Serpent? Where? I wanna see that!

Of course he did, then again who wouldn't?

“Yeah! Her name is Imugi and she actually helped get me on this ship! She's probably back at the Halcyon now though, most of the time she's towing it”

Thinking about it, and the fact that the crane they used to have didn't look like it was made for too heavy things, not to mention on the other side of the ship from where i had been, Imugi must have been the one to drag my soggy ass on the deck when they first spotted me.

Huh, maybe I ought to send her the best crabmeat I could when we were back in Kamerasca as a thank you.

“Can I meet her? I'd love to see a friendly Sea monster!

Ohhh do you think I could pet her?”

Well so far Imugi had seemed to adore any sort of positive attention so she'd probably love it.

“I don't see why not, though we can't exactly get her on the deck here, it's way too high up”

Well, maybe we could ask if they'd let down the platform again, but doing it just because someone wanted to pet a sea serpent was probably unnecessary.

Besides we could always do that later, and then he'd get to properly meet the guys that dragged me out of the water too.

Hopefully they'd go along with each other!

Then Rikaad piped in.

“We will do that later, for now we have a set course, apparently Cassidy already has a plan, which involves having to get ahead of the pirates and leading them through two narrow cliffs and shooting at the walls to get them to collapse”

That sounded incredibly dangerous.

“Are you sure that's a good idea? What if someone misses?

Or they shoot back and make it collapse on us instead?”

They could just as well do the same to us when we got there.

Rikaad slowly nodded.

“I am aware, and i will talk to Cassidy about it once more, i'd rather none of us would get injured”

With that he left, business as usual.

I did wonder why the usually very talkative Nemas was so quiet but glancing at him now that he had his head turned it was clear part of his jaw was swollen.

Was that from the sea monster attack? Ouch.

Then Leon put his feet back on the ground and sprang up, storming out as well with a scroll in his hands.

Probably the one containing the information, Did Rikaad forget it just now? Didn't seem like him.

Or maybe he just didn't need it right now.

Probably the latter.

Nemas just gave a thumbs up at seeing me and then turned to sort stuff back onto the table that someone seemed to have thrown off.

Probably that Leon guy.

“Come on, I wanna see the ship you ended up on!”

Robin dragged me out of the door again onto the deck, where I then had to steer him to the side so I could point at the Halcyon.

“There, you see the smaller boat with part of the railing missing?

That's where i ended up”

Sadly Imugi seemed to be currently underwater and out of sight.

“Ohh, where's the Sea Serpent? I don't see it”

He leaned forward over the railing and I fumbled to catch him as he slipped forward.

“Careful! And i guess Imugi is underwater right now,

i mean that IS a SEA Serpent and not a land dweller”

Also she was probably towing the ship right now even if it was hard to see from the deck of the Call Of The Damned.

“Aww, what color is she? Maybe I can see her later?”

“She's some shade of blue with a paler underside and dark blue back spikes, oh also she's got a pale bony beak as well, but i don't think you can see her underwater”

He seemed disappointed at that, which was understandable, but I'd make sure Robin got to meet Imugi at a later point.

“Don't worry, when this is over i'll just ask if you can pet Imugi, i'm sure nobody will mind”

His eyes went wide.

“Really? Oh that's gonna be so cool!

Did you touch her before? What's the texture like?”

“Texture? Uhh, smooth but also slightly bumpy, also just slick with seawater but that's a given for a marine creature”

There really wasn't anything remarkable about it, it wasn't exactly like fish scales either, more like a turtle if anything.

Well, Imugi did have some turtle like features, namely the beak and the weird flippers.

Sea creatures were weird.

“Sounds nice! Hey now that Rikaad got a new plan do you still have to shift to scare the pirates?

I mean we got like fifty ships now, AND a sea serpent!”

Good question.

“I have no idea, i’d better ask but i'm sure as soon as Rikaad is done thinking everything through hell tell us”

Maybe I wouldn't even have to do anything.

“Mhm, he's always trying to get a hundred percent in anything, but i wish he'd be more open to accept help”

That i had to agree with the little Ginger.

“Same here, i think he just feels like he failed when he cant do stuff himself”

“Well that's stupid!”

Suddenly there was a commotion down at the halcyon, with Imugi jumping on top of the reinforced deck and letting out loud clicking noises.

Ignoring Robin who ‘ohh’ed at the serpent I tried to see what was wrong that could have caused her to react like that.

Ah, Dolphins, so nothing really bad.

No wait, while those things had the same size and color as dolphins they appeared to be something else, and currently climbed up the side of the Halcyon while Imugi tried to smack most of them down again.

The slick body was distantly reminiscent of an otter, with bigger claws and a weird finned tail as well as antennae on its head.

One of them snapped at Imugi and Akeem went between the two, taking the full brunt of a bite.

Thank fuck he was stone!

“Fuck! What are those? Do we have something we can throw?

No wait my aim is bad i’d just hit Imugi”

Robin hid behind me at the sight, half horrified, half fascinated as the strange sailor with the big ass Rooster showed up behind us, nearly completely hidden by layers and layers of fabric.

They held up the Rooster, who was pretty much as big as my own torso and gave it a light poke on the skin flap on its head.

The thing crowed louder than any normal Chicken i had ever heard before and strangely enough the creatures attacking Imugi all let up and jumped back into the water, seemingly quite disturbed by the noise.

“I hate Afangi, they gang up on anything they can”

The Chicken holding sailor spoke, who was probably male? Maybe? And gently set the chicken on the railing where it shook itself before settling down.

Up close something akin to a clawed thumb was visible on its wings and it seemed to have teeth as well.

“Afangi? What? The hell are those things?”

The sailor shrugged, at least it appeared so as the maybe hundreds of layers obscured nearly everything.

“Sea beasties, though they can't stand a Roosters call, so i usually have my feathery friend with me”

They picked the oversized Chicken back up, holding it like a cat even, and walked to the other side of the boat.

“So a Rooster call scares them? Interesting”

“Yeah, I just wish it hadn't been so close to my ear!”

Robin was scratching at said ear and looking over the railing at Imugi again, who now refused to go back into the water.

“Fair, that was probably the loudest chicken ever, if that even was a chicken, i'm pretty sure it had teeth”

“It did? There are a lot of strange creatures here”

Oh there definitely were, and apparently most would fuck you up.

“Yeah after this is over i'm going to avoid the ocean for a bit, fuck im going into the woods for a few days even!”

That made him laugh.

“Can I come with you? I'm tired of smelling like salt!”

“Of course! Hey, is that Rikaad?”

It indeed was, and he did not look enthusiastic, to be fair he never did but now even more so.

But that meant he was done planning right?

“Ah there you two are.

After talking to Cassidy and some other captains we have come up with a plan.

We are not going to sail between the cliffs, but apparently Cassidy knows another good ambush spot and will lead us there.

I wanted to ask you two to go on the ship Donovan was previously on, since they have a sea serpent towing it they can retreat even if the wind is against them and you are probably safest there”

I’d better not mention to him that Imugi wasn't exactly the bravest, besides it didn't really matter what ship we were on but he did have a point with the wind thing.

Also no doubt Robin wanted to get closer to the Sea Serpent.

“Sure, if we manage to get on it from here i don't mind, might as well introduce all of them”

Rikaad nodded and sent us back to the moving platform while Robin watched the smaller ship with wide eyes.

“You think they'd let me pet her?”

Oh for sure, and if we got on the halcyon the same way I left it he'd make even bigger eyes.

“Ask Ronan, he knows Imugi best”

Catching the dark blue fin out of the corner of my eye I had to fight not to smile.

That ought to be a surprise.

As the platform stopped a few feet above the water Imugi’s head surfaced and she whistle-clicked at us while clacking her beak a few times.

“You are so pretty! That's such a nice blue!”

I had to hold the back of Robin's clothing to avoid him falling into the water as he leaned forward to try and pet her.

“Calm down! She's here to get us on the Halcyon! You can pet her later!”

Imugi clacked her beak and did her best to hold still as I helped a starry eyed Robin climb onboard while going back to hanging off the back spikes myself again.

Imugi brought us over quickly and since the Halcyon was so much smaller we could just slide down onto the deck where Jamie was currently using Akeem as a perch again, leaving the other three to manage the sail that had come loose again.

I could hear Imik chewing out Ronan for letting Shalimar help with the rope or something.

Well if her ability to to tie knots corresponded in any way to how she had tied her vest and belt it was no surprise that didn't go well.

“Ayy whos the redhead? Imugi seems to like him!”

Jamie crowed from their perch on top of Akeem's shoulders and I turned around back to face the ocean.

I could see Imugi softly pressing her head Into Robin and making chirping sounds.

Robin himself had the time of his life as he petted the big sea creature.

“Thats Robin! He's my friend,

Rikaad is also my friend but he's still on Cassidys ship”

Both Jamie and Akeem looked up to the ship.

“Yeah i cant see shit, why the fuck did i think i could”

Akeem shrugged, sending Jamie tumbling off with a curse.

“We should focus back on going forward, we are gradually getting slower with the sail locked in position and Imugi hanging onto the side”

He shooed the sea serpent back into the water to the disappointment of both her and Robin but offered to show the ginger how to put the towing harness on.

I hadn't actually seen that yet either, aside from the time Ronan had to adjust it so i followed as well.

Akeem wordlessly went through the motions of putting it on with the ease of someone that had done this a thousand times before leaving again.

Helping Robin sit on the bowsprit, and keeping a good grip on him so he wouldn't fall, he ended up telling me what had happened since he left.

In at least somewhat chronological order too, probably.

He told me how that perpetually angry looking Leon guy got onto their ship and that he'd tried his best to take a first aid course and could now remove fishing hooks out of skin.

Pretty useful, though I doubted that would be common as soon as we were home.

He also told me that the ship's cat, Smokey, was still alright and had taken to sleeping in my hammock for a few days after I was gone.

Huh, so the poor feline HAD recognized that I had tried to help, nice.

He then told the rather harrowing story of when the sea monster had attacked, which apparently had looked more like a weird eel than anything.

When the thing had bitten at the railing Leon had grabbed a big splinter of it and shoved it up the beast's nostril before whipping it with one of the sturdy ropes meant for the crates.

Huh, pretty badass, also apparently the reason why Nemas had a swollen jaw wasn't because of the monster attack but because Leon punched his face ‘for talking too much’.

Ouch, while he DID talk a lot just telling him to shut up would have been nicer.

After he was done it was my turn to tell what happened, simply stating that when they found me Ronan had tossed an electric eel at me and then skipped over to him falling into the eel pit and having to be rescued.

I left out the part where the Halcyon got attacked by Pirates and I nearly drowned with Jamie, not sure if that would upset him or not, or maybe even make him jealous for letting Jamie in my pouch?

Whatever the case, I left it out and instead went to the treasure diving thing, with the found bracelet still in the hidden compartment.

I really needed to remember to get that before we went back home.

And then of course I told him about Kariba island, and what little I had seen of it.

His eyes were wide as plates as I told him it was mainly inhabited by nonhumans.

“Ohhh, I wanna see that! You think we could talk Rikaad into-” His sentence was interrupted by a very loud shout, coming from the Call Of The Damned and was louder than any other Human i had ever heard.

The one yelling was Nemas, apparently having gotten over the swelling in favor of talking again.

“-CRAZY? CASSIDY THAT GRAVES KEEP!

YOU ARE LEADING US TO A DEATHTRAP!”

I looked confused at Robin, who in turn looked confused at me and then we both looked at what we were heading towards.

It was a giant island, barren aside from a few dead trees and seemed to have the form of a nearly ring shaped sickle moon with the thinnest part just about big enough to let the Call Of The Damned trough about four times next to each other

The island itself was made of dark gray jagged rocks and seemed oddly threatening.

And we were sailing right towards it.

Turning around and looking back I could see a fleet of ships that wasn't ours.

Nymra had been off by quite a bit seeing as there were over two hundred Pirate ships close behind instead of just a hundred.

“Oh Fuck”
