- Dark Warriors' galleon
Script[]
Garland | Okay, they're all in the mess hall eating up my delicious homemade meal. We are free to plot without interruptions. |
Drizz'l | Not that I endorse this plan, whether whole or in part, but what is up with Vilbert's pirate lingo? |
Vilbert | I'm playing a royal noble who, wandering alone one dark and Victorian night, stumbled into the wrong alley after some bacchanal party. As is wont of nobles. Whereupon he was beset by a creature of the night! He struggled but nay-- |
Drizz'l | Less fruity indulgence, more facts. |
Vilbert | Was embraced(TM), became a vampire, and then forced into a life of piracy. |
Drizz'l | Y'know, that brings up another point. Why are we talking like pirates? Aren't we supposed to be a crew of a merchant ship? |
Bikke | Yar, when we be on the high seas, we'll be bowing to my expertise. |
Vilbert | (quietly) Delightful couplet, Mr. Bikke. |
Bikke | When we be fighting Light Warriors in our cave stronghold and yet be managing to lose to them, then we be asking ye how we should talk. |
Drizz'l | (angrily) So that's how it's going to be, is it? |
Garland | Let's not bicker, gentlemen. Remember, you can't hug with medieval arms. |
Vilbert | This is all moot, isn't it? If they're eating from the foodstuffs we brought aboard, then they'll be dead in a few agonizing hours. |
Garland | Oh, gosh no. That food went bad. I threw it out and picked up all new supplies. |
Vilbert | It was poisoned. |
Garland | Why do you think I got rid of it? |
