Greetings, once again!

It saddens me to say, but it seems we've had many new arrivals. I'm sure you've all noticed, by now. Most unfortunate. Why, I had almost all of your names memories. Yes, even that peculiar boy who- ah, I've lost it again. [Ahem.] And after all that trouble too! My, were it not for the Great One, we'd all be in a real pickle. I understand there were those of you courageous enough to free him from the very bowels of the planet itself. Ah, if only I could have been there with you! Alas. You have my sincerest and most heartfelt gratitude. Please, tell me your names and I shall arrange to have the finest of tea delivered to you posthaste!

But to business!

Firstly! Pets. Pets. My goodness, some of you have found some rather monstrous creatures, haven't you? Pokey-somethings, I believe. Most curious how they arrived! However, so many of you were so helpful, I feel as if I must do something to repay you in kind. Yes, pets, as I was saying. I shouldn't wonder if many of you had lovely furry beasts before being brought here. If it could be arranged, would they be wanted? Tell me! I'm quite curious to know.

Secondly! With all that upsetting business before, I never had a chance to thank those who fought those scoundrels on the battlefield. Your victory has been pivotal to our shared existence, you should know. But I wonder, are your training facilities adequate? Perhaps you need something with, aha, more bite to it, yes? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated.

I do believe that to be everything. Yes, I'm quite sure of that.

You know, sir, I'm not sure if I'm familiar of any beast of this like. Why, it sounds more like a ship than animal.

[all7seas]

Ships are near as alive as animals are, and the beauty of the ship, mate, is she can ALSO be a bit of a "training facility," as it were.

[malnosso]

Yes, yes. I could see that, but goodness, a ship would be quite a large thing! I'm afraid it would never work.

[all7seas]

...No imagination, you.

[malnosso]

Ah, hm. Perhaps you would like the monkey instead?

Monkey...would quite probably bring this entire operation of yours crashing down around our ears. Bad idea. Very bad idea, this monkey. You shoot him, aye? You shoot him and he comes back to life, again and again, and actually when you're in a bit of a mood that's his best feature but really the monkey would probably bring nothing but misery. And he steals worse'n a street beggar on festival day--a street beggar with an itchy right hand, I might add, and that's not figuring in all the times he's urinated in the jam pot.

Though I miss him, at times, when there's no one available to shoot with impunity.

[malnosso]

Bad blood, I see. How unfortunate. I've always felt a man should be on good terms with his pet. But I shall mark that down as a 'no'.

[all7seas]

OR.......you might mark it down as a yes?

[Because although he hates the monkey it can be a useful monkey as long as Barbossa isn't around.]

[malnosso]

I see. Very well, I shall mark it down!

[Oh sweet winds of autumn did I just ask for the monkey why did I say yes bring the monkey? Why? Were it a batch of bad rum? Momentary insanity? Temporary monkey-love? Fie on monkeys! FIE!]
