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.

It's not funny, dang it! Maaaan, this is a new low in my ship accumulation record.

Ah...

It... could have been worse...?

Even though I wasn't expecting anything good from the assembly, this is...

Kindly list to me, as simply as possible, how it could POSSIBLY get any worse than this.

Um...

... if it was something entirely not seaworthy?

After the other pirates see THIS junk, it won't be much longer anyway.

Oh...

A-anyway, it's too bad your bill turned out like this...

I guess you'll have to get a ship the normal way? Whatever is normal for you, anyway?

You're right. It's hilarious. Hahahaha! No. Really. You did ask for a pirate ship, didn't you?

Guybrush pouts.

I was really hoping I wasn't going to have to do the whole "clever maneuvering of gullible individuals to reach important goals" thing. Gosh darn it.

He sits down in the boat, and kicks the front of the boat in a pique of ire. The glove box opens, but Guybrush doesn't seem to notice that little piece of paper that has come out of it in his annoyance.

Ah...

*Reisen watches for a few moments as it starts to fly out towards sea on a random breeze, and the moon rabbit quickly flies out to snatch it out of the air...*

...

*which results in a rather comedic sequence of the paper barely escaping her and close calls with the water, before she finally snatches it*

I did! A nifty one! And they gave me this piece of junk! Not that I'm not USED to having lousy ships, but this really takes the cake!

Whoa, gotta be careful around water, Reisen. I mean, you don't even have a life vest.

Apparently, he's missed the point. And it's a darned good thing Reisen saved that piece of paper, because it's a deed to a pirate ship called, uh, the Stinky Dugong. ...is that really an improvement?

You know, I know that this is the point where I'm supposed to back out in a sign of sheepishness at putting my foot in my mouth, but... no, no, can't quite find it in me. Sorry.

From: [identity profile] pet-moonrabbit.livejournal.com
Ah, I-I wouldn't really need one, anyway...

It looks like this came out from the swan boat...

*she floats over and hands the deed to Guybrush*

From: [identity profile] big-whoop.livejournal.com
Huh?

He takes the deed and looks at it.

You know, gift horses and all that, and I should probably be really happy that this isn't the real deal, and that there's apparently a real ship waiting for me, but...

...The "Stinky Dugong?" What the heck's a dugong?

I-I wouldn't know...

Still... ahahahaha... they really pulled fast one on me. Hahaha... Hahahahaha! All right! Finally, a real ship, all to myself! My Netherworld life is finally looking up! Isn't that right, swanny?

He cleans off the figurehead, grinning -- until he realizes what he's touching and urks a bit, backing away.

Man, those Senators have a CRUUUUUEL sense of humor, though. *shudder*

I guess all you need now is a crew, huh?

Yep! Though in spite of the generally large size of a ship and the detailed functioning of such, I usually only need three people.

...not that they usually help out that much, but it's a tradition, or something.

From: [identity profile] pet-moonrabbit.livejournal.com
Ah...

... I'm not going to try to understand how that works.

Probably a safe bet, really.

Now let's see... where there's supposed to be pirates, there ought to be a nice, piratey town somewhere. And where there's a pirate, there are bored, unemployed pirates itching for a good ship and a good captain.

Neither of which apply in this case.

So! Let's see if this deed tells me where I can pick up my fine... uh, "stinky" vessel, then.

He begins reading it more thoroughly.

Uhhhhh... no? I was being amusing by stating an obvious situation and then going against the expected response. What the heck are you talking about?

Not that I'm NOT putting my foot down on my position here. Buuuuut that's really not what I was going for.

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