[backwaters]

Good morning!

Indeed we do, of every size and color. And of course, we have instant coffee, for sailors who'd like to start their day fresh and energized!

....

[There was a brief silence before a very loud scream on the background with the sound of someone jumping up and down the wooden floorboards.]

Do you have one that can sit 6 people?????

Re: [Backdated to the 27th][Voice]

[backwaters]

Certainly, but if you'd really like a square kotatsu we have one that fits 4 people and one that fits 8 people.

[Backdated to the 27th][Voice]

[princelycharm]

I'll take the one for 8 people! Mahogany please. And is it a complete set... ah...

[He thinks for a short while.] You know, those pillows and cloth that comes with it.

Re: [Backdated to the 27th][Voice]

[backwaters]

Of course. It'll be 32 doubloons. However, it runs on electricity; we sell generators separately for 24 doubloons, but if you'd like you can purchase a self-generating kotatsu, it's 50 doubloons. How about it?

[princelycharm]

A self-generating one~!!! Haruhi would be so happy!!!!

[He pauses.] And how much will a can of instant coffee cost?

[backwaters]

A can would be three pieces of eight, sir.

[princelycharm]

How will you deliver the kotatsu and 12 cans of instant coffee??

[In the background there's rummaging of things and turning a desk upside down. There's also some counting happening. Thank God for the treasure they had earned whilst under the leadership of their former Captain and the contributions of their new members.]

[backwaters]

The coffee will be sent via seagull. Unfortunately, a kotatsu is a little too big for my birds to carry, so I'll be delivering it myself. Not to worry, however; it will be just as quick.

[princelycharm]

That's great!

So, how much is my total? And should I give the money to the seagulls or wait for you to arrive on our ship?

[backwaters]

It'll be 54 and a half doubloons—and a carrier seagull will be arriving at your location shortly. Please deposit the money into the pouch.

[and just as you hear that response, there indeed is a seagull that swoops low, flying circles before landing near you, a dark red pouch bound to its neck with a gold rope.]

[princelycharm]

Alright~!!! [That's a lot of money, and soon they'll have to find more ways to find more money. Indeed they have to get the club running soon.

He leaves for a few moments. He opens the pouch and deposits the money in it. He also places a picture of himself in knight's armor.]

There, I've done it. I also gave you a little something extra~!!! That costs 280,000 yen in our school!

[backwaters]

[the seagull takes off, and miss margie adds,]

....... Thank you very much. Your packages will arrive shortly.

[backwaters]

[an hour, two hours later, a group of seagulls come in with brown paper bags in tow, but that's not nearly as interesting as what's in the skies right now.

in the distant horizon, there's a figure on ... something. attached to that something is a large, large package; it approaches faster than one would expect—much faster. if one were familiar with a certain famous novel series about witchcraft and wizardry, they'd think that maybe this was a Firebolt or a Nimbus 2001, with how fast this particular household tool flew. it's soon easy to see the redheaded shopkeeper in clear view, and all too suddenly she's close to the ship. one might think she'd zoom by, with how science and inertia works, but this is magic, and so she slows and stops in the nick of time—just next to the ship. the seagulls which carry the coffee circle around above her.

miss margie holds the now-extinguished cigarette, a common characteristic of hers, and calls out,]

Ahoy! I've come do deliver a package!

[princelycharm]

[The captain of the Antoinette watched everything unravel with shock in his face. It was almost like how he'd imagine his reaction would be had Santa arrive during those evenings when he waited by the fireplace. His jaw dropped and his eyes were a picture of pure amazement.

A few short moments later he ran to Margie's side with the largest smile plastered on his face.]

That is amazing!!!!!

[backwaters]

[she smiles back, businesslike as always,]

Thank you. Now then, this package—one kotatsu—where would you like it placed?

[princelycharm]

[He closes his mouth. Still amazed but very excited about the Kotatsu.]

The Wardroom would be the best place.

[He disappears for a brief moment in the Wardroom and carries out the tables and the chairs from it and brings it down to the lower deck. After a few moments he comes back to Miss Margaret, panting a bit.]

Wardroom!

[backwaters]

[she takes the moment to rise up from the boat's level to slightly above, so that she can get the package on board. it's then that she disembarks the broom, unhooking it from the package and then setting it to the side.]

Alrighty. [and, she'll pick it up from one corner,] Could you get the other side?

[unless you want a lady to do this by herself.]

[princelycharm]

Hai!

[He looks around for his crew. Since none of them are anywhere in sight, he picks up the other side. This is so un-gentleman-like...but he has no choice but to do it with Marg, instead of doing this with one of his crew.]

[backwaters]

[well, at least you're not leaving her to do it by herself. she hoists it up pretty easily—it's heavy, with all the metal and such from the generator, but not unbearably so.]

This way, mm? [as she heads to the wardroom.]

[princelycharm]

[He lifts his side and walks slowly towards the wardroom.]

Hai! [This was heavier than he initially thought. Too bad Mori-senpai wasn't here.]

[backwaters]

[she's slow and allowing for him—with how easy it seems for her, he could probably have left her to do it by herself. ah, well.

eventually, they get there, and she looks over to him,]

Alright, how do you want this to be set up?

[princelycharm]

[He takes a few moments to catch his breath. He then looks back at her.]

Set up?

[backwaters]

... Of course, you'll want to put it somewhere in the room, yes?

[that. is why they came down here, right.]

[princelycharm]

Oh...

Let's put it right on the middle. So that its the first thing everyone notices~!!!
