Week 2

[scurveydog]

Hain’t got much ta say preliminary wise, just hope ye lot ain’t the right lot of bastards ye usually are. It be a fine day here, nary a cloud in the sky and a nice nor-easterly breeze bringin’ the promise ‘o Fall so I’m gonna go ahead and answer two questions this time around. Aye, two. Don’t go jumpin’ out yer nappies now, it’ll be a riot. Barred still, acourse to Flynn Rider and that no account brat Conan Edogawa.

But afore all that bit…

Weather

North: Still cold. Gettin’ colder by any rekonin. Freezin’ rain fer th’ better part ‘o the week. Followin’ after, clear skies and west by north west winds.

East: Bright ‘n breezy all week. Expect nothin’ more’n a star shower in th’ Great Ring on Thursday evenin’ when th’ moons at her height. Great time fer luck.

West: Rain lettin’ up, fog settin’ in. Ye’ll be lucky if ye can see yer hand in fronta yer faces most days. Should clear out by Saturday, but make sure ta listen for warnin’ bells.

South: Bit ‘o a heatwave goin on down there. Temps reachin’ about 38 degrees c (98 f) if not more.

News

Ye big idiots. What in bloody blue blazing balls are ye doin’ down in Yuezhong? That place has been in a right state an’ has issued a call to the Navy fer it. Yer lucky they hain’t sendin’ out their own army after ye! That certainly got the white’n’grey’s attention though cuz they’re sendin’ a small fleet down th’ Western Current to take care ‘o ye lot. Be careful and I’d run it rather then fight it. Ye don’t want to end up caught by the Navy, and certainly not live long enough for ‘em to clap you in chains and haul you off to—well –never you mind. Just don’t is what I’m sayin’.

Down below, waters be stirrin’ mates. Somethin’ is happenin’ that I only felt once before. Got an idea ‘o what it means, but I can’t be sure, can’t be sure. Whatever it is, it be stirrin’ th’ devils ‘o the deep so watch out fer monsters. They’ll rise like leviathans and break you in two w’out even a thought.



That be that for now. Two questions and from two separate people. So stow all yer whinin’ les you wanna pay for it. This old Dog is too generous to you lot and no mistake.

[and not too much later]

Any swab from the Shepard Crew be banned from question askin' til the turn 'o th' year.

M-Monsters??

[scurveydog]

Aye, monsters. I'll give ye a chance to get a widge more specific since all ye lot seem to have is wet cotton betwixt th' ears.

[notsokillerwhale]

...oh! That was a question!

[ He feels slightly stupid but he appreciates the handicap he just got. ]

Thank you very much, sorry.

[ HMMMM. ]

Would asking you to tell me as much as you know be too much to ask?

[scurveydog]

. . . What I know could fill a dictionary so aye. It would. Think up somethin' a bit better for next week or leave it fer the people that know how to ask, ye stupid sod.

[notsokillerwhale]

What??

You're not going to tell me anything??

[ Nooooo!

Hopefully no one noticed. ]

[scurveydog]

Just how many questions d'ye expect me to answer? Here, take a quick word 'o advice from th' old Dog.

Shut.
Up.

[notsokillerwhale]

[ Shutting up. ]

Yes, sir. Sorry.

[scurveydog]

Good boy. Just sayin' if the sea boils like a beef pot, ye better sail yer balls off.

[notsokillerwhale]

I'm guessing that's when they come out...

Thanks for the advice!

[ Oh good! Something came out of this!

However, now he's going to be watching the sea all the time now. ]

[thefoglies]

[Yes. Yes, someone noticed.]

Did you honestly expect a legitimate answer with such a broad question?

[notsokillerwhale]

[ alkjsgkasg Oh crap! ]

I wasn't really thinking when I asked that. I guess I was hoping to get a real answer. Sorry...

[thefoglies]

A word from the wise, child. When dealing with beings of otherworldly origin, it is best to be as specific as possible. Or, at the very least, if you do not have a proper question, to leave it to those that do.

[notsokillerwhale]

[ ...well, he definitely feels like he's in trouble now! ]

Again, I'm sorry! I don't have much experience with...otherwordly beings.

Look on the bright side, we got somewhat of an answer?

[brbvirmire]

[They did.]

Great job!

handwritten

[notsokillerwhale]

I'm sorry!

[ Genuinely. ]

[brbvirmire]

Look, he'll find any excuse to screw us out of an answer. Either think it through before you open your mouth, or let someone else ask.

[notsokillerwhale]

I'll let someone else do it next time.

[carptricks]

[Oh people have definitely noticed]

. . . nice try.

[notsokillerwhale]

[ Whoops? ]

Haha, sorry. Next time I'll do better.

[carptricks]

[s-sigh]

You're not the first to make that mistake. And we got one question answered pretty well.

[notsokillerwhale]

My question wasn't a complete loss! Just be careful if you see the water starting to boil.

[ ......ugh. ]

[arcadiasailor]

{Not as bad as it looks as far as random questions go.] Well ask about size.

[scurveydog]

Ye don't get a say. Better luck next week.

[arcadiasailor]

Just trying to save us both a headache but I see I'm to late.

[scurveydog]

Aye, ye are. I foresee a lotta headaches in yer future. Lick salt an' spit o'er the side that it hain't heartache, too.
