Yes, Mond, and may the woodwinds blow a tribute to ole Satchmo - God rest his soul!
Thats exactly right, Floh! But a greek peasants salad and some tzatziki would also do! 
Mr. Christopher (and Mr. Andrews), you'll find the gold in one of the holds!
Guarding my back, Dark Mistress? Funny you should say that. I'll be on the rack in the prison. Maybe you could lend Mina a hand?
And a place to sleep? Well, I think we could work something out

There's plenty of room in our cabin, as Mr. Andrews is used to sleeping under the writing desk, and I'll allow her the pleasure of the upper birth. Is that adaquate Catpain?

I'll serve the salad as soon as you return from the prison. Do you want me to watch out for dragons now or may I lend Mina Dark Mistress' hand? It would be a pleasure...

If that's what she *really* wants, I guess it's *kind* of adequate, Mr. Christopher, but you really should be asking *her* and not me...
Do as you like best, Floh. There's plenty of food atm - and I'm sure Mina and DM could use a little help.
You know where you can find me

Crazy? Moi? 
Well maybe a little. Forget about the salad, i was winding u up, it did look very tempting though...
hopefully the captain will enjoy it he certainly looked quite ravenous in the prison...

Anytime Floh, glad I could be of assistance.
Tell the captain i'll be in my cabin if he needs a midnight snack.
See you Tomorrow after work. I'm back to the hard graft of writing.

Now this sounds just the thing to get me away from my humdrum existence.
I would love to join your crew. My credentials? Well I come from a long line of Bristol Channel Pilots and as everyone knows thay have to be Master Mariners. I have sailed many times, admittedly only around the Solent, but the tides around there are very strange. At least I know what to do when someone shouts 'jibe' (also when someone shouts 'jive')!
The service I offer is twofold: firstly with my trusty sewing machine I can run up a mainsail in no time and produce colour cordinated uniforms for the crew; secondly there is bound to be a skirmish or two and I know my way round a first aid box.
Providing I can keep an eye on the horizon in rough weather, I am sure I will be an asset to your ship.
Please let me join

Hi Caerwynn, nice to meet you
One important thing: keep your hands off the captain

Rest assured, I shall be too busy with my machine! That's if I get taken on of course.
I might have to measure him for trousers though. Would I need a chaperone?

*taking a rack-break*
Oh my, Floh, you *do* look excited, don't you! 
A midnight "snack", DM? Why, that sounds *very* tempting... I *am* quite ravenous, you know?
Linus! Welcome! Maybe you would like to be our cellarman? One of the holds is filled with Coopers Dark - but I can't remember which. Maybe you could sort it out?
- and please inform me when you've found the holds with Flensburger Pils!
Caerwynn! Of course we can always use a master pilot from Bristol! You are most welcome. You may find that our chief navigator Kes is a little - er, how shall I put this? Well, he's a little... He's just this guy, you know? Cut him some slack and I think everything will work out just fine
About those trousers of mine: Please make sure you make the correct measures. I hate it when trousers don't fit like a glove...
