Exile: Chased By Ninjas

[tswett]

It seems your only option now is to do as your map says and AVOID LUSUS!!.

How's your lusus doing, by the way?

[Dudemaster47]

>Avoid (like you really had any other choice here)

Custodian Rubric: Corbearal Punishment

Wow, that was weak. It didn't even get close to you! Does this thing have no aim? Is it blind in one eye and lacking in depth perception or something? That made no sense. Or maybe it's just trying to protect it's charge (if it has one?) and is just trying to scare you? You guess that's possible...

Custodian Rubric: Bear Hug

Or it was just trying to lull you into a false sense of security and got a hell of a lot closer while you were mulling over that.



Seriously though, this cholerbear has an issue with telegraphing it's attacks. It's wide open!



See?

[Dudemaster47]

> Hmm. Do you know any tealbloods who live around here?

Let's check the map, shall we?



Hmmmm...nope. No tealbloods that you know nearby. You do, however, decide to skedaddle as fast as you can. You don't want to be around much longer if it turns out that you just orphaned some random troll.

Well...that's not entirely true. You know that there's a hive built into the huge tree in the middle of the forest. You think whoever lives there might be a tealblood, maybe? I mean cholerbears are pretty common lusii for tealbloods, so this might have been his/hers/its/potato. You have no idea who actually lives in these woods, if anyone. As for tealbloods that you actually DO know, there's only your BEE EFF EFF right there who you're headed over to right now. This is definitely not her lusus.


Her lusus is far more terrifying.

LEVEL UP! You have advanced to Level 2, and thereby unlocked the STATUS SCREEN!

> Leave a note apologizing for the dead lusus. Sign it with jackbootSwashbuckler's name.

...Damn. That'd have been an awesome idea if you hadn't already left the forest.

>ONWARDS!

You immediately continue your travels to wait what?



...Who's this guy?

Sea-dweller highblood: Be named JAXXEN SPARRO.

You're kind of ashamed of this but...you actually kind of lost your placronym at sea. You've been going by "Jack" after your FAVORITE CHARACTER from your FAVORITE SERIES OF MOVIES for a while though, so you just kind of kept that going.

To be honest, you're having a bit of trouble remembering what your real name is. You definitely know it's not Jaxxen Sparro, though. Man, you WISH that was your name. If that was your actual name, you wouldn't have to go by "Jack" all the time. You just know your real name is kind of lame in comparison.

But uh...what was it?

> Exmark Argyre.

Ugh. Right, your name was Exmark Argyre and you HATE IT SO MUCH. So lame, so boring and un-seaworthy. Jack suits you SO much better. But alright, it's time to get your introduction in order.




Your name is EXMARK "JACK" ARGYRE and YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT CAUSE A PIRATE IS FREE. Which basically means you prefer spending your time riding the waves from above instead of below.

Of course, your interests are as obvious as they are generally piratical. You have an obsession over a CERTAIN SERIES OF MOVIES that is BORDERLINE FANATICAL. Of course, like any good pirate you have SORT OF A THING FOR SKULL-BASED DECOR as well, along with tossing around SEVERAL VARIED WEAPONS AND TREASURES. Obviously, you have a drawer full of treasure maps like any good pirate. ANYWAY...Among your travels you have collected SEVERAL BOTTLES CONTAINING LIQUIDS OF AN INEBRIATING NATURE. You have so many, in fact, that consuming them has developed into a habit BORDERING ON THE ALCOHOLIC. You have to stop. But addiction is a wonderful thing. Sadly there is only so much, and thus you frequently are troubled to contemplate the NEAR-CONSTANT DEPLETION OF YOUR FAVORITE INTOXICATING ELIXERS.

Other than your love of TREASURE, MAPS (which you actually just store away in your drawers, they're too rare to captcha), SAILING, GENERAL BUCCANEERING, HEAVY DRINKING, and THE SEA, you also have a few various hobbies. You love making SHIPS IN BOTTLES. Along with this, you have a penchant for making SILLY AND RIDICULOUS ROMANTIC POETRY. Most trolls think that poetry is pointless, but then again, you aren't most trolls.

Your trolltag is jackbootSwashbuckler and yer accent strays int' th' realms o' th' arrbitrarrily piratical.

> Fail to notice the countdown in the upper left corner of every page.

You completely fail to notice the countdown as you go to check on your maps.



Yep, they're all here. You haven't explored these areas yet, so you just keep them in safekeeping for now. At some point, though, you gotta nail those charts on your CHARTWALL in your ship.

> Quote your namesake on the presence (or lack thereof) of sugarcane booze.

You immediately grab an empty bottle of booze and prepare to recite one of your favorite quotes.

"Stop blowing holes in my ship!" Wait, no.
"Look! An undead monkey. Top that!" No dammit, that's way off!
"My peanut!" No, fuck, that's the wrong one too.
Okay, come on, you know this one...

"Why is the rum always gone?"
-Captain Jack Sparrow

THAT'S THE ONE.

...
"Always wanted to do that."


...Man you're really tired.
