Penelope and CHaldea Fishing Off Ship
Chaldea~LYD aye,... went to deck 4 port side, fishin
Chaldea~LYD well, more resting than fishing
Chaldea~LYD the fish I want, are not hungry just yet, best wait til sun is further down
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Ah, fishing sounds like a safe activity. Calls to hope as I pass by, on My way to deck 4, "breathe, slave, breathe"
Chaldea~LYD points to harpoons stationed along rail
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant regally moves to the staircase and down, disappearing from view...
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Harpoons, Chal? Whacha fishing for sea tharlarion?
Chaldea~LYD : no, Im just showing them to You. We CAN use them for a sea sleen hunt, if spotted
Chaldea~LYD : they make reallllly nice outer wear
Chaldea~LYD chuckles
Chaldea~LYD : you dont do much yerself, I mean, You buy most your stuff. right?
Chaldea~LYD : I've been an outdoor Woman all Me life, mostly
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant goes to where several sizes of fishing poles are leaning against the wall. I lifted My left hand, letting it linger near each before deciding on a supple rod of kalana wood.
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Yes, I buy the heavier stuff, like coats, hats, boots leather messenger bags....
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : But I do like to sew, and I like the outdoors....sometimes....weather permitting!
Chaldea~LYD GASSSSPS and points out to the slean that rose up, out, over to dive back deep
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant strolls over to a seaman and inquires about bait for Me hook. He brings over a bucket after a moment, and gives a snappy salute before returning to His duties.
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant Looked over just in time to see the explosion of water spray and smiled.
Chaldea~LYD suddenly nothing else exists, NOTHING. but Her and the creature. puts her hand on top of one harpoon, and goes into near trance
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant shaking My head in mild amusement, I took a stand a few yards from Chaldea and calmly baited the hook with a bit of parsit, then with an expert flick of the forearm, I launched it over the railing to the blue-green waters depths.
Chaldea~LYD mind and eyes are as if in the water, watching, becoming a part of the slean's world, hearing even the underworld sounds, muffled voiices of slaves bove waters. I take the harpoon so gently, ner secretly and hold firm with a stance, pressure on back rt foot.
Chaldea~LYD speaks softly to Pen
Chaldea~LYD : please ask a crewman to ready a skiff, in case there is chase ahead
Chaldea~LYD takes Her eyes off the water an ihn to see if Pen is still there, then right back
Chaldea~LYD sees a bit under the surface, it's tail. heart raced as to hear it. Grabbed chum from a bucket w rt hand, keeping hold the weapon in left, then gave a stong toss out to scatter chum cross the surface. returning rt hand to place.
Chaldea~LYD damn it! quickly wiped the gunk off of hand on breaches to dry, then back to harpoon
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant relaxes, leaning against the railing, making the sparkles on the water dance by squinting then widening My eyes...
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant feels a tug on the line, and tenses, tightening My hands upon the fishin' pole, and begins to reel in the line steadily. When there is a stronger tug, I tug back, hard, and increase the reeling...the fight is on!
Chaldea~LYD : all right!
Chaldea~LYD : get that stupid fish away from Me sleen
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Hey, this fish is not stupid! It swims in SCHOOL all the time!
Chaldea~LYD relaxes arm muscles til She lands it
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Awww....oofff! ( string broke! What are da odds?)
Chaldea~LYD : aww, sorry Matey
Chaldea~LYD : real bummer
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : I see that big grin on Yer face, Lubber! Lucky for Me, I can hook a line too! (sticks Me tongue out at the FW in mock indignation)
Chaldea~LYD stretches out but an inh than back into stance form, giving small toss up to heavy harpoon in twist, and catch agin, where chum n sweat were naught
Chaldea~LYD : phht
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant off in the distance, I see a fish leap from the water with a bit of line dangling from it's mouth, and I shook My fist at it!
Chaldea~LYD : If you could NOT bait a line, Id dis Own ya as a Matey
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : I'll get you, Dickkie Moore!
Chaldea~LYD : heh
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Yeah....what You said!
Chaldea~LYD could not help but gafawww a laugh at the shaking fist. WHo does that?
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant pulling in the rest of the line and plopping down to the deck to secure a new hook to the end of the frayed line and re-baiting it too.
Chaldea~LYD bent over laffing, resting harpoon on rail
Chaldea~LYD : sonobish Pen, got tears
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Good tears, I hope?))
Chaldea~LYD : Look NOw ya dunn made Me sleen go deep
Chaldea~LYD rasaphras*&
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant chuckling, I relaunch a fresh bit o bait out to the waves...
BartWLydiusADM thinking that there is something I don't know yet, I shrug slightly as I place the collar around the neck of the slave, then lock it, taking the key, I toss it overboard and it drops into the waters of the deep Thassa
Chaldea~LYD watches it spin down into deep shiny and attractive as bait
Chaldea~LYD sorta slams the harpoon back in its slot, makin a face.
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant watched the fish that I had been trying to lure onto My line turn with a flash of silver scales to chase the key descending further into the water...
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Well, crap!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SKinny Dip and Race Prep
AlbusNiall : How's things, O Captain, my captain?
AlbusNiall : We were just about to take a dip. Care to join us?
BartWLydiusADM : I probably will,
AlbusNiall : It's a very peaceful spot you've brought us to.
BartWLydiusADM : There is a shortage of good swords, and with Lydius growing, I need just that, as well as leaders with authority.
AlbusNiall : Good swords, not flaking with rust.
AlbusNiall nods
AlbusNiall : So Row Row ya Bastards! Ya never can tell!@!!
AlbusNiall : wait, I thought we were taking the skinny kinda dip
BartWLydiusADM shrugs and says 
BartWLydiusADM : It's my island, right? 
BartWLydiusADM : Why don't you go on and get in 
AlbusNiall : excellent idea!
AlbusNiall rises, and heads down the beach toward the water, tugging my loose linen shirt over head and dropping it to the sand 
AlbusNiall stands at the water's edge, the gentle waves washing the sand from my feet as I untie my leathers at the waist, bend a bit, and shove 'em down, stepping out of them
AlbusNiall tosses the leathers back a ways on to the sand so they won't be washed out to sea.
AlbusNiall runs into the water at a full sprint, raising my hands and diving a perfect swimmers dive as it splashes against my thighs
 
BartWLydiusADM : Tal, Chaldea 
Chaldea~LYD : ack, no...just continue skinny dipping, Im making a race track for colassal crabs
 
Chaldea~LYD kindly returned greetings to those who could hear, then counted off in boot steps, how long the race track should be 
Chaldea~LYD grabbed a spade and dug a bit of trench on each side of the race track, She would be placing board lengths in there to keep Colossal Crabs from going off cours 
Chaldea~LYD started dragging now some lengths of 2x6's for the boarders of race track, and set them up' and in the trench to make the boarders
AlbusNiall calls in to shore from about a fifth of a passang out
AlbusNiall : Tal and greetings, Lydians! C'mon in, the water's fine!!!
AlbusNiall thrusts an arm up and waves, treading one-armed in the water
Chaldea~LYD tamping the slightly damp sand to each side of boards, making them more secure, with boots.
Chaldea~LYD nodding, wipes Her brow, then takes up the beach rake' making the race course even and smoothe for the critters to race on
Chaldea~LYD : Lookit Bart! colossal crab race track, completed except for finish line
Chaldea~LYD points to Her work, and barrell of Large Blue, and Redish Crabs
 
BartWLydiusADM : Nice! Now to get them racing!
Chaldea~LYD : lydian's pick a crab to bet on, make Their mark on the shell, charcoal. We make bets.
Chaldea~LYD : Ya think I just built it to watch em? heh!
Chaldea~LYD : when not in AR""
Chaldea~LYD : make the best of it!
Chaldea~LYD pulls the half barrell closer to fire light
 
BartWLydiusADM I stand and walk over to the contraption that Chaldea made and look at the crabs, seeing one that looks lean and fast, I say "charcoal please"
Chaldea~LYD smiles
Chaldea~LYD slaps it in His hand firmly
BartWLydiusADM I take the piece from Chaldea and reach down, marking the crab with an X, I say "that is your winner, folks"
 
Chaldea~LYD : we have an ( A, X, L and C) so far.
 
Chaldea~LYD : should we wait til morrow to actually race em?
Chaldea~LYD yes, it is too dark now. Main event for Morrow
Chaldea~LYD gives Her racer a lil bath with warm surf water
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

AlbusNiall : where?
Chaldea~LYD : the half barrell
Zinovia laughs at His confusion
 
Chaldea~LYD points directly to the barrell
Chaldea~LYD : where everone else got theres ya gooof
AlbusNiall picks up the charcoal and steps up to the half barrel- thing, resting my hands to my knees and peers inside
Zinovia : Mine has the beadiest eyes
Chaldea~LYD : pleanty good ones in there still
AlbusNiall : mhmmm
Chaldea~LYD : A is taken, is why I said N for you
AlbusNiall inspects 'em carefully
Chaldea~LYD : you can take a couple out to look at em
 
AlbusNiall marks my "N" on the one with the longest legs, although one missing on the left side, and the rt chela is smaller than the left, probably haveing been lost in a spar . . . nods
AlbusNiall : ep, this one will do.
 
 
Chaldea~LYD : terrific
 
 
 
 
 
Chaldea~LYD : PEN
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : SWEET!

Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : I gave Mine some blackwine...
AlbusNiall : So, who . . . uhm
AlbusNiall : caught the crabs?
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : ROFBOL!
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : The Physician knows!
AlbusNiall looks to Chaldea with an arching brow
 
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant wonders if I give the crab a push with this stick......
AlbusNiall : I think you have have gotten it drunk, Penelope
Chaldea~LYD : big difff tween 'catching crabs, or 'hunting Colossal Crabs
 
Chaldea~LYD : ohhh yhesssss
Chaldea~LYD : bets, place yer bets

Chaldea~LYD twisted the rolled up hem of tunic under knees to squeeze water out
Chaldea~LYD : for the winner?
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Hey, if the crabs are there...where are We?
Chaldea~LYD points down
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Is the winner the first one in the gumbo pot?

AlbusNiall raises my fingers to my lips and WHISTLES

Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : P always likes a race!
Chaldea~LYD clears her throat to find a deeper commentators voice
AlbusNiall : N is looking for a fight, it seems
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant P surges forward, heading along the path like it has to get where it's going in a hurry
Chaldea~LYD : well Folks Welcome to the Lydians annual Crab Race, Aand they are OFF!
AlbusNiall laughs
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant flowing over the sandy raceway, P tries to cover...everything!

Chaldea~LYD L is keeping to the wall, slow, frantic, but making way
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant P realized it wasn't finished yet...
Chaldea~LYD C is going fast but ricochetting off each contestat.
Chaldea~LYD : looking more like a game of PinBall
AlbusNiall heads up toward the treeline for a quick nature break
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Hey now....can't have P and C at the same time! P takes a snap at C, to make it back off
AlbusNiall : Lemme know when they're cooked!
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant sideruns towards the end of the track....

Chaldea~LYD : watching L now, the shaky one, keeping slow hesitant moves allong the wall, it might make itttttt
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Why is P backing up? What the....???
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Come on silly crab! Yer all over the track now!
Chaldea~LYD : C ran over P once, then circled round to run over P again! its craazinesss here at the Race!

Penelope~Vendara~Merchant P attempts to grab C with it's pincer claw...not with the lil one either! With the BIG one!
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Aw, SNAP!
Chaldea~LYD : C is now runnnnning the fastest of alll of themmmm to get away from P!

Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : P senses victory...starts to slow down... Now to a crawl....slower....slower......

Chaldea~LYD : Hold onto your hats folks, now comes A out of nowhere, racing after L off the left wallllll
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant waved My hands at the wayward crab, but in response, it raised it's claws and Aw, SNAPPED! at Me!
Aríka Hearing a commotion, I go investigate what is going on.
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant puts My hands over My eyes. I can see P is going nowhere fast as it tries to pinch N's back leg.
Chaldea~LYD : N and deadly X in heated battle rolling side to side together
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant yells at P to forget the fight. The race is getting on without you!
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant threatens the crab with a hot time tonight!
Chaldea~LYD : (warnings attenders, owners, do NOT put your face anywhere near the angry Crabs)
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : If you lose, P, so help Me, I'm drowning you in hot butter!
Chaldea~LYD : C is chasing L down the side wall seeming to over take it
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant P seems to remember it was supposed to be going somewhere....but where is the problem.
Chaldea~LYD : wut, ok. 'Folkes news from our Executive Producer "Disqualify" X thats what HE said
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant so P starts backing forward, gazing back along the track like it has forgotten something...
Chaldea~LYD whispers Pen toss X out of game
Chaldea~LYD : wut, ok. "From the Executive Producer, X disqualifys for 'unneccessarry roughness!
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant attempts to use the stick to punt the offensive crab off the track with no harm coming to the spectating Spectators.... watch as the crab goes out of the sand pit....and into the water hazard!
 
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : <--- spectating
Chaldea~LYD : X was taken offf the track by guards....headed back to prison it seems, but thats ANother Story
Chaldea~LYD : now N is charging full crawl to P

Penelope~Vendara~Merchant P does a fade around L and C, flips with the big claw, and sprints ahead at a backward clip...
Chaldea: (the bird?)
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Gooooo P!
Chaldea~LYD : now it seems A has sat down in refusal to continue the folly.
Chaldea~LYD : it is just... eating sand
Chaldea~LYD : sad for A and family
Chaldea~LYD : we are
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant takes out the crab sized whip to urge the crustacean along
Chaldea~LYD N didnt let P get that far away, and found P hiding behind others
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Whacha waiting for? The waves are over there! No, not there....THERE, just two Gorean yards away from yas!
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant wondering why P is making loop-the-loops...
Chaldea~LYD : N took two swoops knocking C and L off to the sides then climbed on top of P o ODIN have not seen such a grfuffle in ages here at Lyd races!
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : Don't fail Me now, P!

Penelope~Vendara~Merchant : P does a 18 twist- flip and got N offa it's back, then went to see what C was doing. Saw the flash of ribbon in C's claw and snapped for it, thoughts of victory temporarily out of it's head.
Penelope~Vendara~Merchant I splashed some butter and tospit sauce it's way to refocus the shelled beastie!
