what a nice day, a clear blue sky, lovely white clouds, just like freshly whipped cream, the sound of the waves lapin against the hull of the little dingy. all in all a nice day. So how the hell did I get into this mess Until a short moment ago I had been on a ship. It was rather nice, decent food, rather weird crew, way too stuffy, I was just complaining their cook dint know what he was doing, how was I to know he was the captain. the brig wasn't to bad, rather roomy for a brig. of course just as my luck would have it someone else seemed to disagree, as half the brig, the door included exploded in to splinters and scrap metal. As cannon shots rang through the air, I made the swift and decidedly wise choice to vamoose wile the going was good. it helped that the guards were otherwise indisposed. I garbed my staff, and deftly gathered the remainder of my belonging. And as luck would have it there was an unused dingy just laying there. It seemed like such a good idea at the time, who would have guessed that there were no supplies in the danged boat. Or that the ores were rotten to the point were they were unusable, at least the wood was decent enough to make a makeshift sail. The "makeshift sail" was simply the white undershirt of his suit strapped to his staff and the remainder of the paddles, there were also the words "will cook for food!!" written on it. So yea, stuck here floating for, a day and a bit now,things don't look so good. my head feels kinda funny As I starred into the sky the fluffy white clouds began to look more and more like food. Freshly grilled fish on a nice bed of rice with a dash of lemon and pinch of jalapeno, tender stake smoked and seasoned to perfection with a side of potatoes. At that moment the not so happy stomach made its extreme displeasure known with a long and prolonged roar. I'M SO HUNGRY!! |

A lovely, clear, blue day.
Perfect for artillery practice.
At least it would have been, had the crew forced the shipwright of the Broken chopsticks to agree to stop her early-morning practice sessions with Fishbones the carronade. Walking along the ship, Vi had decided to work on the crow's nest from the sheer boredom. Smoothing out the sun-worn wood of the nest and then applying her own unique taste of engraving along the edge of the nest, Vi had taken to drawing impossible geometries in an insane pattern. As she worked she'd been amiably talking with Fishbones, the ship, and Yumi, who had been on duty as spotter in the nest as the shipwright worked.
The conversation was about the chances of finding a new cook in the ocean.
"I mean it's totally guaranteed that there's gonna be someone out there, ya know?! Ocean's a big place and lotsa people are falling into the water all the time!-"
As was usual for her specific insanity, her voice suddenly changed, becoming a quite remarkable impression of a high-class noble teen, with just the right amount of nasal tone to make it stuffy and formal before she 'replied' to the Carronade in her own voice.
"-*sigh* Violet, you are aware that a person will expire within three days if they have no supplies? The chances of finding someone are approximately 3,750 to one against!-
-Fishbones, never tell me the odds! It's like when I got flushed or whatever, I ended up fin- hey is that a raft?"
By pure chance she had looked up and seen something white in the distance, however since she wasn't quite the sharpest set of eyes, she leaned around the mast and tapped Yumi's shoulder, who had been looking the other way, and pointed towards the speck.
"That's one of those baby-boat thingies, right?"

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" The captain of the broken chopsticks let out a long, drawn out yawn as her ship swayed ever so softly on the calm seas. Any other day this would have been her chance to get some extra shut eye. The winds were calm, the sea was still, it all made the perfect cradle as she slept on her cozy mattress back in the captain's quarters. Of course, there was one big issue with getting sleep on this ship, and that was the BANGS that went off early in the morning. Waking with a start this morning, Yumi had maybe over reacted just a tad, making the crew agree that their shipwright, Violet, probably shouldn't be doing any cannon practice today.
Instead, she decided to work on the ship, hardly any less noisy.
Now up and at 'em, she was in the crows nest which Violet had also decided to work on as she let out another long yawn, stretching her arms and looking out over the horizon as Violet spoke of maybe finding a new cook on the open sea, ever amusing the red head by imitating her shark style gun.
"I kinda have to agree with fishbones on this one Vi, the odds of finding a cook that'll sail with a pirate crew is hard enough, let alone one on the sea."
As if the gods just wanted to prove her and fishbones wrong, Yumi was soon caught by the sound of violet pointing out a supposed raft to her six. Curious, she pulled out her spyglass, her keen eyes enough to pick out the dinghy itself but not who was on board. She tried to get a better focus, spotting a man in a rather neat suit, and his sail made of a shirt....that read....
"Will cook for food..."
Snapping her spyglass shut she let out a long, deep sigh at the pure fact that Vi was right on this one, before working it into a quiet and giddy chuckle, wiping a small tear from her eye. "Oh god that's rich...looks like we lost either way fishbones." Standing to full size she'd turn to face the back of the ship, calling out to the first mate manning the helm. "Shura! Give us a hard left but keep he slow!"
In time the ship would find itself pulling up alongside the dinghy they had spotted in the distance, Yumi rushing down the netted ropes along the sides of the mast and down to the deck, peering over the edge at the man in the dinghy.

as the the delusional food, began to dance around in my head, mocking me in my starvation induced psychosis. I could have sworn I heard the sound of a ship up sailing next to the dingy. am I saved by some miracle of good fortune. from the ship came a voice asking if I needed help. I looked up to see a beautiful woman with Blazing red hair looking down at my little raft. many thoughts passed through my head. first relive I was saved, then a second thought, chances of finding someone in the open ocean, and I don't know if it was the psychosis talking But I could swear I saw a pirate flag. Deciding to play along with the delusion for better or worse, I mean whats the worse that could be on board? I leaned up a bit and Gues I've died and gone to heave. cause I am sure I've never witnessed such beauty in this life time. Please tell me you are as charitable as you are beautiful, and hopefully a fully stoked kitchen would be nice too Hell its my delusion, may as well make the best of it. At about that moment another of the loud, and substantially long huger "roars" filled the air again, followed shortly, by the funny sensation of blackness and funny little stars dancing in my head. |

In an utterly amazing display of self-control, Violet didn't immediately go into her victory dance. Continuing to work on her design, she had waited until the ship had pulled up to the stranded person, taking Fishbones down along with herself as Yumi went to greet the person. Rising over Yumi's right shoulder, and Fishbones seemingly rising over the captain's left shoulder to 'look' as well, Violet waited until the man replied. As the man collapsed, Vi quickly leaned Fishbones against the edge of the boat and hopped onto the dinghy, picking the man up and passing him over to the Captain she began talking to her crewmates.
"Don't say it-
-What am I gonna say~?-
-You know...-
-That I was so totally right~? That's I'm awesum~possum~blossum?-
-*Sigh* can we get the poor man some food though? He seems utterly famished!-
-Fiiiiiiinnnnnne~ I totally shoulda bet Yumi to let me sleep in the bed again~!"
As soon as Yumi would take the weight of the barely-conscious man, Violet would run back to the kitchens to get some bread, a glass of water, and an orange before dashing back, humming some little ditty about 'eating oranges and it'll be 'kay!' as she returned.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" So, let's recount the first minute of contact with this new person shall we? They rode in on a little dinghy, a shirt for a sale, and big red letters that, for all Yumi knew, could be blood reading "Will cook for food." He came up beside them, called her beautiful, asked for mercy, and blacked out.
...Yeah, all signs pointed to their new cook.
With Vi already on board the dinghy and getting ready to toss up the man, Yumi hooked her arms over the edge, scooping up the odd man and resting him over her shoulder, giving a simple hand signal to Shura to tell her to get the boat moving once Vi was back aboard. "Well lesse what we fished up today." She placed him down gently, sitting his back up against the mast and making sure he was upright, gently trying to tap his cheek and wake him up. They already had one fancy talking gent on board, so maybe they could work their way into getting another.
"He, come on, wake up, we got your food." She thanked Vi for the orange as she took it, holding them both up to a hopefully conscious driftaway. CODED BY SYLVIE |

I was having the nicest dream, I had been rescued by a angle with red hair, when a small white devil with blue hair came in and threw me up on high. Then that lovely angle came in and caught me again, and set me down under the shade of a nice big tree. she leaned in, and then i woke up to find her poking my face, and then offering me food. There were no words than came to mind just the overwhelming realization that I WILL SURVIVE!!!. After finishing what felt like the best meal of my life, I started looking around, Hu? were's my staff, and my knifes, WERE ARE MY HATS!!!! After that profound bout panic of the initial realization passed I sprinted to the side of the ship. only to see the little dingy with most of my wordily possessions drifting away. I quickly reached into my jacket's pocket, and pulled out my trusty swimming cap, gently placed my beloved fedora on the ground donned my cap, and proceeded to dive off the railing, wile screaming off the top of my lungs, I COMING!! I furiously swam with all of the power my frantic body could muster, wile thinking, DAMMED IF I'LL LOSE MY HATS AGAIN! NEVER AGAIN! |

As the man seemed to recover his wits Violet had been a second away from asking if the man was a cook before she was bowled over in the dash for the dinghy.
As the crazed man dove over the rail towards the ship that had been abandoned, Violet could only sit up and look to where fishbones was.
"Fishbones?-
•Yes?•
-Is that something nor-
•No, not it is not.•
-And people call me crazy?!-
•Need I remind you I am a carronade and thusly, inanimate?•
-Meanie."
By now back on her feet, she went over to Yumi and commented, while looking over to where the man was swimming towards the raft.
"I think something in the water makes people crazy..."

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" With the orange ate and the water drank Yumi thought the guy might be wanting to get some rest after so long on the ocean. Afterall she was no expert but if you were out on a dinghy so long you blacked out, odds are you hadn't seen other people for days at least. Just as Yumi was about to ask who he was, he rushed to the edge of the ship and jumped overboard, swimming towards his dinghy that they had actually began to sail away from.
"Woah..." She walked over to the rail, eyes on the odd man with an absentminded gesture to Shura to stop the ship and wait for him. He was bound to come back but it was still quite a show to see someone who was about to starve suddenly get so much energy just 'cause of some hats...then again, they had weirder things happen on this ship.
"Welp, best help him." Walking back to the mast she pulled out one of the fishing nets they kept in a bag, thinking it would be an easy way to get the hats aboard as she tossed it into the water. "Hey! Dude! Place your stuff in that and we'll pull it up!" CODED BY SYLVIE |

well, that was a close one, I almost lost all my hats. at least they were kind enough to help me get my stuff on board. lets see am I missing anything, my hats, my knifes, my staff, and myself. Yup everything's here. dam I gotta catch my breath. one second more. Ok then! now that i look at her again, the red haired woman is dressed quite, well, dam, for anyone, even out to sea, but hell who am I to judge. Or complain. and she wasn't alone on deck there was an actual a blue haired devil girl, too. Weird. Anyway, since I got all my stuff back, and from the looks of it I am gonna be staying for a wile, or at least till we reached land, maybe more if there were anymore women like the red haired one on board. turning to his lovely audience, pardon the late introduction. my name is Edward, but everyone calls me Ed, I am a traveling chef.Among other things. I was sure I was a goner this time. So, who do I have the pleasure of thanking for my rescue? |

OOC: dashes are Vi, •'s are Fishbones
Having hauled the hats aboard, Violet pulled open the net, digging into the collection of hats with curiosity-driven gusto as the man introduced himself. As the man mentioned being a cook she poked her head out of the pseudo-nest of hats, a nightcap perched on her head.
"See, guys?! Told ya we'd find a cook floating about out there! Even if he speaks funneh like Bun~bun!"-
•Violet! Do not make fun of the mannerisms of speak in others!•
-Sorry...'cause I ain't!"
Digging back into the hats she would try on different hats, mostly entertaining herself with the hats. There was a slight grin on her face that was clear smugness at having been right though.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi gave a good heave on the rope of the net, pulling all the odd bits and peaces that the odd man had brought in from his boat. Cooking knives, hats, other trinkets. Man if this guy had jumped ship you'd think food would have been more important than most of this stuff. Then again she had to admit that if she was in his situation she'd probably grab trinkets like lightweight or her old family map.
"Well we'd be happy to keep ya on board "Ed", and hey, if you were serious about cooking for us we'd kinda appreciate it. Our last cook left us about a week ago, so we've all been surviving on the cook of the day...and admittadly, we're al terrible at cooking...heh!~"
Holding out her hand with a nervous chuckle, she offered a handshake to officially welcome Ed on board. "Name's Yumi, captain of the broken chopsticks!~" CODED BY SYLVIE |

I took, the captains hand in a hardy hand shake, pleasure to make your acquaintance captain. id be happy to cook for you for as long as you'l have me. Well this was nice. Found a new place to rest my hats for the time being, and if the looks from around here were anything to go by, the crew, seemed quite, lacking, in the numbers department. at least at first glance. And hell a free ride, that let me cook for my stay, sounds like a hell of a deal. turning to the devil girl happily swimming in his beloved hat collection. the sudden urge to kick her out of the hat pile came to mind, though Ill be honest the fedora did fit her nicely. and whats your name? No use getting mad at her, they did save his hats, and his life. |

Poking her head out the bag, this time wearing a top hat,bowler hat, fedora, and a helmet stacked one on top the other, Violet chirped happily.
I'm Violet! The big lug over there is Fishbones! He doesn't like violence but I love it~! Also don't break my wifey, I love her dearly~!
Sinking into the pile again she continues rummaging, adding the hats she liked into the stack on her head. Fishbones, leaning against the railing of the ship, 'spoke' up while Vi continued rummaging.
"•You shall have to pardon her. Despite her apparent age Violet had a mental disability which puts her on the same level as an eight-year-old that ate half a cake....•"
