SECOND ANNUAL TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY! (Open RP)

[anthony-crowley.livejournal.com]

Crowley awoke, not in his comfortable bed inside Club 33, but disoriented and hung over on a bench in front of the castle, an empty bottle of rum still clutched in one hand, mouth fuzzy, and head pounding.

"Ngk."

He brought up the other hand to guard his bleary, uncovered eyes from the glaring sun. It took him a moment to realize that there was a great deal more frilly sleeve around his wrist than there should be. After a perfectly still moment, Crowley ever so cautiously moved his hand down slightly to discover a mustache and double braided beard.

"Bugger."

It wasn't what he meant to say.

As his position on Ash's shoulder warranted it, Pikachu added, "Pikachu-pikarr-pikarr!" which meant something along the lines of 'Pikachu wants a cracker!'

"Nobody be home, so this ship be ours now," Ash said. "By the oldest law o' the sea, 'Finders Keepers.'"

He stepped onto the ship and looked around, frowning. It looked pretty hard to steer, but that couldn't stop a great pirate like him. "Okay! Ma-- Pikachu the decks! I'll be hoistin' the yardarm, whatever that be!"

Getting the sails up seemed like a good idea, and that was an easy task for a pirate as good as him! He pulled some ropes in likely seeming directions, and was proud to see the sails open.

"Arr, pay attention ye landlubbers!' He said proudly. "This be how a real pirate pirates!" He was so busy boasting that he failed to notice the boom swinging back around.

Pikachu nodded and set about doing something that made him look like he was busy, though he actually had no idea what he was doing, or how what he was apparently doing benefited the ship.

He was busily running around in circles when he saw the boom swinging towards his Trainer and ran at him instead, shouting, "Pika-pi!" and leaping to push him out of the way.

Ash turned around just in time for the boom to hit him in the face and knock him to the bottom of the ship. "Arr," he muttered, rubbing his head. "That be smartin' Maybe we need t'be swabbin' smaller decks," he admitted.

"Pika-pi," Pikachu said sympathetically, running to his Trainer's side and trying to pat him soothingly. "Pikarrrchu," he agreed, and nuzzled Ash's cheek. His poor Trainer!

"Hah!" Ash exclaimed, grinning. "Don' worry, no landlubbing boomstick can keelhaul Black Ash! We jus' need a better ship t'be sailin' the briny deep." He pointed to one of the rowboats on the river. "Ahoy! Thar she be."

Well, if Ash was okay, then so was Pikachu! "Pikarrchu!" he said enthusiastically and jumped into Ash's arms to be carried onto their new ship. Yes, a rowing boat was a much finer vessel for the Dread Pirate Ash and his Pikachu!

Ash got off the ship and climbed into the row boat, taking the oars. First Mate Pikachu wouldn't be able to paddle, but Scurvy Captain Ketchum could handle it on his own.

"Avast, we sail! Rig the mainstay and swab the decks! Dead men tell no tales!"

Pikachu jumped down from Ash's arms to stand dramatically at the bows, just like in the second movie. "Pikarrr!" he shouted as a warning to anyone who dared stand in their way. Merchant ships, other pirates, beware! The Master of the Seas and his First Mate were about!
