Hi Light,

Hope I'm not intruding. Any of that left?

I think there's a rather large pot of fresh over there, behind the water in the bottle of vodka Ugi.

Pour me one while you there please, there's a dear.

Kheldar, you'd feel at home anywhere there happened to be feminine company and free booze!

Ah, got it. Ta' Gwennie.

There ya' go -

Can I pour for anyone else, while I'm here?

Aye, Gwennie. Makes him appear almost human, doesn't it?

So do you, BTW...

Lighthouse Girl, I like what you've done with this place! Any chance your skipper could get a decent Pott Rum here?

Well...what can I say...I think when I was young, we used to call that the process of living

Hi Ugi you are always welcome here and there will be plenty of and 's for you

Hello captain good to see you I'll jist fetch you some of that special rum I have been saving for you

Here you go

Kheldar, make sure you stay young when you are round here

More drinks anyone?

~grin~
I don't think you have to worry about that . As long as drinks are served, and the company is good, I'll be just fine...
Do you, by any chance, serve Hertog-Jan around here?

Ummm Hertog-Jan?

It's a Dutch beer. Very nice
A bit dark, and a flavour that's a rather undefinable. It's more than sweet, but definitely not bitter. Great stuff

* Checks stocks - finds none *

I will have to see what I can do I am sure we will find ourselves in a position to get some soon, there must be some Dutch ships I can raid round here somewhere - fancy helping me liberate some?

In the meantime have a

Of course I'll help you. Raiding is always great fun, especially when beer is involved

You mark my words - It'll all end in beers!

Thats the plan Ugi - want to join us?

Well, I've never tried Hertog-Jan but why not. Count me in.

Trust me, once you've tasted it, you're hooked. I know I was

Well, I'll just have a quick for now, before I head off & join you in plundering tomorrow. Any whisky left Light?

Be careful Ugi...You only have to look at Kheldar to tell he's hooked and his youthful looks are purely because his body is well preserved (in alcohol!).

On that note, I'd best be off. Catch you later chaps!


*Pinches Kheldar's well-preserved backside on her run past*

Where is Capt. Pierce? He asked me to meet him here. Mr. Andrews, take a memo.

Hi, Light could I have my usual Windjammer ?

I am exhausted after a frantic day of dragging the first aid tea chest around, hot tubbing and nail painting, not to mention sewing fiendishly .

Do we have a ship's carpenter yet, because I need a smaller chest knocking up.
