ShadowLion Posted June 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 When last we left off'n our story, Bonny Bosun Elinox had posted: Night has come and the bosun be strollin' the deck, keepin' sharp eyes trained on the brigantine. The ship be a good 10 leagues off but she cin still spot the faintly glowin' deck lights. Eli motions to DeepGreenEden who's still aloft, also watching intently, and waves her bandanna in the dark. The motion should capture the other woman's attention. Then she makes her way to the captain's quarters. Knocking softly, she enters and nods to ShadowLion.

We don't want teh risk the moonlight giving us away if the wind changes n' slows our speed," says the Cap'n. "We can have them up at the quarter-hour, Cap'n," Elinox replies. "Very good. As soon as they are up, set our course. We should be fast upon them by gray light," ShadowLion says. "Aye, Cap'n. And swift n' silent we will run. All the lasses have the word."

ShadowLion Posted June 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2014 So a little background on how we progressed the story last time... Each lass can take a turn at advancing the story how she likes. Examples here. It's just for fun and you don't have to be a novelist or anything. This group is mainly for three things: 1) Having a little piratical fun away from the seriousness of our challenge goals2) Supporting each other in our challenge goals on our individual threads3) Spreading the piratical cheer to encourage and inspire other rebels in their challenges Tailor your participation to fit your schedule and your needs. First and foremost, take the time and energy you need to accomplish your challenge. That comes first. Then, have some fun and participate as you can in CutLass! activities. Encourage your fellow CutLasses, and they will do the same! 1 Quote All men dream, but not equally.
