* TheRealMe has finished putting on his attire of protective black ribbons. He seems wrapped up like a mummy, except that the end of each of the numerous ribbons floats in the air, gently waving about like tendrils underwater. He looks ridiculous! *

So, are we ready? I’m the best protected, so I’ll go first. The rest of you follow, one by one.

* TheRealMe leads the others into the brig and securely shuts and locks the door. Then he reaches out with one hand and concentrates. A spot of light appears on the wall before him, which expands to become a ring of fire surrounding a dark void, about the height of a tall person. TheRealMe grabs his high tech squirt gun and jumps into this hole in reality. He is gone! *

* A spot of light appears right next to where Mai is standing. It expands to become a ring of fire around a dark void. From this hole in reality pokes the head of TheRealMe as he is stepping through, still incased in his numerous black ribbons. *

Hey, Mai! I…

*As TheRealMe steps forward, he finds no ground underneath him. He falls a long distance to splash into water. He surfaces, sputtering, with the taste of salt in his mouth. As he treads water, he looks up to see the hull of a great wooden ship sliding past him. Far above, he sees Mai standing on a plank extended out from the ship’s main deck. She is being threatened by two individuals on the ship wielding cutlasses and black-powder pistols. Above Mai’s position, TheRealMe can see great billowing white sails, and beyond that, flying from the highest mast, a black flag displaying a skull and crossbones. *

Pirates!

Arrrgh, me maties…

*One by one, TheRealMe’s companions start issuing from the portal that is still near Mai, only to drop into the ocean.*

Huh. Well, I’ve had more successful plans. Hey! Can everyone swim?

*Ath lands in the water with an impressive splash. (Yes, I was part of the Mai-Quest group!)

Begins swimming towards the pirate ship when he feels something bump into his leg.*

Uh, what was that?

*Feels it again.*

*PR goes through the ship, until he gets to the armory. He starts to look around.* Ooh, a sword. Good. *He picks it up and tethers it onto his belt.* Useful. *He looks at the wall of firearms.* Guns! Gotta have guns! *He picks a handgun up, sticks it into his belt, then pick up two large uzi's, and also puts them into his belt. He then picks up a shotgun, and shoves it into his bag. Then a gun that resembles Vera.* This should be very helpful! Oooh! Flamethrower! *PR picks up the flame thrower and squeezes it into his bag.*
Dynamite! Spiffing! *Picks up the dynamite.*

*PR looks across to the other wall.* Oh a MASE! *He picks it up and starts swining it aruond. Gotta have a mase! Oh, can't forget the crossbow! *Adds a crossbow to his inventory.*

A grub axe! This will be most useful. *Take!* KNIVES! *PR also picks up a large assortment of knives.*

*PR is happily set with his weapons, although perhaps slightly out of his depth...as he doesn't usually take...any weapons with him.*

Now, what else can I brin??

***

*Ten minutes later, PR see's Jazaf, as he is slowly making his way back to the group. PR is struggling, trying to push a large cannon up the stairs.*

Jazaf: PR...what on earth are you doing?

PR: Hi! I'm...going on the quest.

Jazaf: How long for?! Do you really need a canon?

PR: Never say never!

Jazaf: You've got more weapons then you can carry!

*PR doesn't respond, and keeps pushing.*

Jazaf: Is there...something your not telling us?

*PR wobbles, and falls back, and slides down the few steps he had climbed, the canon in tow.*

*CRASH!*

*PR stands up and dusts himself off.*

PR: No! There's nothing. I just...want to be prepared. Oh, nevermind. I think I'll just take a pocket knife. *PR dumps the rest of the stuff he was carrying.* You'll see that this stuff gets back to its rightful place, right? Thanks! *PR runs off up the stairs, leaving Jazaf somewhat confused. Jazaf looks at the gear on the floor, then yells up the stairs!*

J: Hey!

***

*PR joins the rest of his group, with his knife safely tucked away.*

*He puts on a blindfold.* There I'm ready. Here we go!

*SPLASH!*

*Serenity steps through the portal into empty space. But instead of falling into the water, she spreads her wings and soars up to where Mai stands, ready to walk the plank*

Hi Mai! In need of a daring rescue?

Serenity! Hey. Nice to see you again. You look different. Did you get your wings styled or something?
I was just thinking of going for a bit of swim. Care to join me?

*waves to all the people many, many, feet below in the water*

Amazing how what the decorators have done to the pool. Making it look just like the ocean.

*whispers, but the new passengers kinda look like pirates, don't you think? how weird is that?*

Sweetie: that's because they ARE pirates. And that IS the ocean. And THAT, I believe, is what they call a shark.

I've never seen one, only heard of them from vague description, but I'm pretty sure it's about to attack my brother.

Are you okay here for just a second?

*Serenity grabs one of her katanas as she swoops down. Turning the sword around, the uses the blunt end to ram the shark in the nose as it charges Ath. The shark, stunned, turns away.*

Guys, I think you might want to get out of the water. We might be safer with the pirates.

What? *Spins round, still blindfolded* Where?! Wahh-ah! *PR "sees" the shark with his mind* Oh, there!

OH! SHARK!

Oh, well done CMS.

Ugh.

*PR swims over to the ship, and grabs a rope, and uselessly tries to climb.* Don't mind me! I'll make it! Easy...peasy.

Of course they are! *laughs hysterically, maybe a little too hysterically* You have such a wonderful sense of humor.

Well, like I said I feel like going for a little swim. I understand you don't want to go, I know it must take forever for your wings to dry. See you a bit later? Maybe we can get together for a nice girly chat and get all caught up?

*dives gracefully into the water*
