*Climbs down the rigging to the Foredeck. Sees everyone is 
. Throws a bucket over the side and hauls it up. Thinks about throwing the seawater all over Shagbark and the Captain. Looks at their dreams and wonders if it would be nice to disturb such lovely dreams? Actually, those dreams are making her hungry and thirsty. Throws the icy seawater all over Shagbark and the Captain.*
Is this a party, or what? I'm starving!!!!

Shagbark starks to his feet.
Is this a sudden squall? Looks at the clouds expecting rain.
sees none . Notes mari-rae. It's a self-sevice party.
Instead of buckets why don't you bring us some music?

*Jumps on top of Plato and wrestles him to the deck. Ties him up in sturdy knots and then grabs a fistful of his hair and forces his head back, mouth open... Pours glogg down his throat followed by spiced cider and mulled wine... mead comes next.*
Swallow it all down, its for your own good! 
The eggnog will put you right my lad... just let me grab the carton here and give it a shake...*Pours eggnog down his gullet. Stands back to watch the result.*
