And here's Guybrush, at the Sea of Acheron. ...in front of a rather pathetic looking foot-pedal swan boat.

You know, you'd think after so many years doing this sort of thing, I would be used to the crushing disappointment of it all.

....You'd THINK that.

See, this is why you can't trust politicians. Ever.

What part of "pirate ship" did they not understand? No self-respecting pirate would be caught dead in something like this!

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

They thought it was a kiddy ride?

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

What kind of fantasy-minded bozo could possibly take the rough and tumble life of a pirate and turn it into an amusement park ride?

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

...I've seen it happen.

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

Sounds lame. Can't beat the real thing. When the real thing doesn't involve STUPID SWAN BOATS, ANYWAY.

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

Maybe it transforms or something!

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

Into what, a Princess Boat? I don't know what would be worse.

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

It couldn't hurt to find out, right?

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

Uh... if it does transform, what exactly would you do to make it do it? And... why would you want a transforming boat anyway?

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

Push a button, maybe?

...Because it's cool?

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

Er, what button would that be then?

I find it hard to believe THIS could be cool in the slightest.

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's hidden!

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

A hidden button to transform a lousy swan boat into... uh, what exactly?

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

Maybe a giant robot!

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh no, I've had enough giant robots to last me a lifetime. Nobody even LIKED the darned robot.

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

You were in a giant robot?

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

Yes. It was a very long, convoluted, and slightly contradictory sequence in my life.

[youkai-hunting.livejournal.com]

Wow! Tell me!

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

(Great, this is one of my least favorite piratic tales...)

Well, it all started when I was coming home from my honeymoon with my wife, the lovely Elaine Marley...

Oh boy, here we go. Prepare to hear a long, slightly overembellished rendition of the events of game four.

[Oh but she's going to listen. Through all of it!]

[There is a cardboard box laughing at you... or is it just the imagination?]

[big-whoop.livejournal.com]

That'd better not be that ice fairy laughing at me again. I could probably find a lot heavier rock for that box.
