((Jearggh, I'd starve on a pirate ship. Did you know that on Columbus' trip to America the passengers sometimes ate in the dark so they wouldn't be able to see the weevils crawling through their biscuits? But that gives me an idea for Quicksand... ))

((Lol, yea. But, with a cook on board, perhaps the pirates will have good food after all. But, Pippi's used to the whole pirate life! ^^))

((Anyhow, have Pippi tell Quicksand all of that so we can get an actual conversation going - threads die when it's all OoC.))

((Yea, I think you're right.))
Pippi smiled. "Hey, do you want me to tell you about when I sailed on my father's ship?" She asked, hoping she'd say yes.

"Oh - sure. How long did you sail with him?", Quicksand asked, and then thought of another question. "Are you a good swimmer?"
The problem with asking that is that first off, Pippi would probably wonder why, and second, out of courtesy she would probably ask the same question in return. Oh well. As someone once said, words are like bullets - you can't take them back(and, as Quicksand thought upon hearing this, they can kill just as easily too).

The purple mare listened to the unicorn's questions. She decided to answer the first one, then the second one.
"Well, I sailed with him since birth, til I was 11." She said. "When I was 11, he fell overboard, and I was told to go live in Villa Villa Culla, my father's old house. When it was Christmas, my father came to Villa Villa Culla! The next day, we were about to sail off again when I realized that my 2 friends who I met during my stay at Villa Villa Culla, were crying because of me. I couldn't leave them! So I decided to stay in Villa Villa Culla." She told Quicksand.
"As for your second question, yes, I am a good swimmer! Are you a good swimmer, too?"

"Um...I...er...", Quicksand cleared her throat. "Um...no comment? Actually, I don't really know - I am part sea pony, but I've never tried."
She felt the rocking of the boat under her feet and thought of the vast ocean it would soon be braving. She shuddered. "...And I can't say I'd much like to."

Pippi giggled. "I see." She said.
She looked around her and looked over at Cutter. She smiled warmly. She just loved his rippling muscles!
The purple mare then turned back to Quicksand.

Quicksand raised an eyebrow and lowered her voice. "Do you have a thing for Cutter?"

((Cont. from Riot of Flowers))
Steamer was walking, with Lickety-Split by his side. Steamer had just tought of something. "Do you want to see the pirates?" Steamer asked her, because it is the only place he could think to go.

Quicksand glanced over while waiting for Pippi's reply and saw a couple that didn't seem to belong walking near the ship. Are they coming aboard? Uh oh.
((Hey - all pirates are gonna want to be aboard ASAP - I've been readin' and the Course pirates have officially set sail and are on their way.))

((Oh, well then, I guess we'll have to set sail soon then!))
Pippi fidgeted before answering. "Well, yes." She said.
The lavander mare was standing next to Steamer. She carefully examined what she could see of the ship before replying to Steamer. "Um, sure I guess." She said. She stepped onto the ship and trotted over to Quicksand and Pippi.
Pippi grinned as she saw Lickety Split and Steamer. "Hi! Are you guys pirates, too?" She asked cheerfully. Lickety smiled. "Um, well, no actually. We just wanted to check the ship out. We didn't really have anywhere else to go." She explained.
Pippi nodded. "Ah, I see. Well, anyway, I am Pippi, Pippi Longstocking!" She said.
Lickety Split's eyes widened a little. "Wow, it's really you! I have a friend who's a really big fan of you!"
Pippi giggled. "Really? Maybe I'll meet her someday!"
The lavander mare nodded. "Maybe."

Quicksand watched, inwardly flinching as the couple boarded the ship. I don't know the captain too well, but I don't think he'll like this. Real pirate ships don't seem like the kind of place to go to take a casual tour.
She smiled at Lickety and Steamer uneasily. "Uh, hi."

Gan Ning eyed the couple with narrowed eyes. "So what, you think you can just watlz on board? You have guts, I'll grant you that much. But we're prepareing to set sail once the cap returns! So unless you wanna go along for the ride and join the crew or be browbeated by him, you best get off." If they didn't take his warning seriously, he was ready to draw his sword, deal with the stallion, and then have Cutter give him a hand breaking the mare down till she'd do any job told.
Inwardly, he gave himself a boot to the head. He had been around Cutter and the cap a little TOO long... Make that Bridie and her strange tastes, too. He hoped having Quicksand around would help him maintain at least SOME of his self dignaty. "Unless your here to buy a work horse, in which Pippi is for sale." If she planed to hit him, she'd have to catch him later; He had already backfliped away from her and landed on the other side of Quicksand.

Quicksand had to struggle not to laugh at Gan Ning's work horse comment. She liked Pippi...but she liked Gan Ning too. I hope they don't always fight like this - I might end up having to take sides.
Then all of what Gan Ning had said sunk in. "Wait - we're really setting sail soon? Already?" She blushed a little and looked at Pippi. "Um, I'm definitely going to want to know more about working on board - what exactly do we do to get this thing out to sea?"
((Whee! Can't wait to sail! Can't wait to meet up with the bad pirates! This is gonna be fun! ;D ))
