Leaving 20 September until 30 October. Going to be a shitty time in the field. Probably going to be a week after that before I even think about writing again.

Octavius was thrilled when the fried potatoes arrived, though they were not exactly something to write home about. Every table got a plate, and while the innkeeper had obviously been less than thrilled when so much food was ordered, he was obviously more than happy to take the captain's money. The pirate also took the liberty of ordering another round to go with his food, and carried on merry-making. At least until Ceres, who obviously wasn't merry enough, took off citing "more things to do". He barely noticed her disappearance, however, and continued to enjoy himself as if she had never been there to begin with.

The two pirates continued with their drunken, half-told stories, knocking back drinks until the bartender finally cut the both of them off, declaring that they either had to leave, or go to bed. The warlord, not being accustomed to dealing with such a reaction from the person in charge of liquor distribution, and being too drunk to process complicated thoughts in a timely and sensible manner, took a staggering step back from the bar, raised an eyebrow at the innkeeper, and then looked like he was going to try and order another drink. That got him a stern finger pointed toward the stairs, and a firm order to put himself to bed. Confused, and suddenly tired, Captain Cuttlam decided that it was probably a good idea to go to bed, and began stumbling that way. He did managed to not fall over, at least, though the stairs proved to be a much greater challenge.

It took some time, but the drunk pirate lord did eventually make his way to bed. Having surmounted the stairs, the last obstacle was figuring out which room was his. They were all locked, so he pulled out his key and tried just over half of them before being rewarded with the "click" of a lock turning over. He managed to get inside without even stumbling, but locking the door behind him was a much greater challenge. When he finally did manage it, Octavius turned to his bed, and did his best to get there without falling over. His drunkenness finally overcame his ability to remain upright, however, and he was left to pull himself up into bed from the floor. And then, somewhere during the process of undressing, he passed out. Still half-dressed, he wasn't going to wake up any time soon without some outside help...
Octavius was a little surprised when Ceres barged into the inn demanding the finest alcoholic beverages on tap. Of course, that didn't stop him and Luther from cheering when the more expensive brews were set down in front of them. A thunderous high-five resounded between the freshly reunited pair, and the captain then immediately set to downing his drink. He'd been drinking the less expensive ales at every establishment thus far, however, and was a little surprised by the sudden quality change. That only spurred him on to further levels of determination, however. If the drinks here were this good, he supposed he might as well enjoy more of them.

Of course, distractions abounded for the drunken warlord, and when the smell of frying potatoes wafted out from the kitchen, another objective manifested itself. And of course, like magic, the bartender was right there waiting when the pirate finally had his words together. "I want whatever that smell is!" he declared. "That smell for everyone!" he raised his drink to the room, and while the idea of fried potatoes didn't agree with everyone, free food was not something to be declined. A ragged cheer went up and everyone drank to the idea of someone else buying them some food. The innkeeper sighed and disappeared back into the kitchen to see if they even had enough potatoes to attempt such a venture, before returning just in time for Octavius to demand more drinks for himself and his drinking companions.

This time he attempted to high-five both of his companions at the arrival of their drinks, but missed when suddenly and erratically swinging for where he assumed Ceres' hand would appear, and his open palm smashed into the bar like a sledgehammer. He felt no pain, and lucky for all involved, the bar remained undamaged. The innkeeper was beginning to wonder if this man was worth the trouble...
No worries, take your time.
sorry about the wait...
Octavius hadn't really noticed Ceres' initial reluctance, though it had been so temporary, he'd have thought nothing of it regardless. It didn't take much to twist her rubber arm, and the pirate lord returned to his rejoicing as his first mate started enjoying herself properly. She said something about booze and joining in, and the captain laughed. He finished his drink, and then checked on his companions. Luther was doing well, of course, and he was pleased to see that his first mate was looking a good deal more merry now as well. He waited until she finished her second drink, and then turned to his old friend, raising an eyebrow and grinning obnoxiously as the other man laughed, nodding at the unspoken question.

"Onward! Excelsior!" he slurred, getting up and trying hard not to fall over. The bartender sighed, not sure if he was glad the crazy man was leaving, or disappointed that he hadn't bought more drinks. Either way, the problem was sorting itself out, as Captain Cuttlam was determined to lead his trio to their final destination, the inn he planned on staying the night in. Assuming there was night left to sleep away when they got there of course. He wasn't going to go straight to bed, either. With Ceres having only just joined them, his drunken brain was determined to do more merrymaking to ensure everyone got their fill before anyone got to go to bed. Assuming he didn't pass out beforehand.

"C'mon! There's more merrymaking!" he shouted, though the words didn't come out as clearly as they had in his head. Luther wasn't far behind the warlord, obviously having a good time, and eager to disturb a new group of people, though neither of the two seemed like they would be terribly upset if the woman who'd just showed up didn't want to join them. Mostly because they weren't likely to even realize she was gone before it was too late. Anyone who couldn't keep up didn't deserve to be as merry as them anyway...
Octavius laughed when he heard someone referring to him as "Cap'n" and turned to find a woman addressing him, telling him that someone was watching her. He laughed harder, not entirely sure what she was talking about. "And a drink for the lady!" he bellowed at the tavernkeeper, before correcting himself. "Make it two! She doesn't look merry enough!" the warlord added, not quite as loud. Then he noticed that his first mate was trying to escape, though his drunken brain hadn't really pointed out to him that this woman who'd bothered him was actually part of his crew. All he knew was that he knew this woman, and she seemed familiar enough that he figured she couldn't be all bad. So he reached out drunkenly to grab her arm, nearly took out a waitress in the process, and realized he could only hope he'd actually gotten hold of the woman, he was drunk enough that processing things was getting harder by the moment.

Then drinks appeared in front of him, and Captain Cuttlam cheered again. He slurred his demands that the woman stay and drink, wondering if she was available, and wondering if he should wonder that out loud. Life was a lot easier when viewed through the amber haze of some good ale. Luther chimed in to encourage Ceres as well. He wasn't quite as drunk as Octavius, having gotten a good deal of practice in while he was here, but the man fully supported his captain, even if he made some strange decisions sometimes. A man that could turn into a monster at will was bound to be a little eccentric, if only because it was hard to find people to hang out with once they knew the sorts of things he could do. So if the pirate lord seemed a little worse for wear, the musician didn't care, they were having too much fun drinking, and now they aimed that fun directly at the water-manipulating woman who'd thought someone following her around was something to be concerned about...
Yup, just hanging out at work, fuckin' waiting for christmas break. I still appreciate your patience.
Sorry about the wait. No replies until the weekend :(
Luther and Octavius had been on a sort of partially-guided tour of the area while Ceres was out wandering. And while she'd been remaining committed to her shenanigans the newly reacquainted pirates had turned their tour into a pub crawl, sharing a couple of drinks at every alcohol-serving establishment they could find. The two were drunk in a hurry, and having a ball. Most of the people in their way didn't get to enjoy such a good time, but they were enjoying themselves too much to care. Unfortunately, not everyone they bowled over was willing to put up with the injustice, and it didn't take very long for the two of them to find themselves in a good old-fashioned brawl.

Too drunk to remember to use his magical powers, but sober enough to fight like the monster inside him, the warlord easily held his own against the various sailors and deckhands that wanted to vent their outrage. Luther had a little more trouble, at least until he remembered that he was travelling with someone who used to be one of the most feared pirates in the world. With that in mind, he redirected his own attackers into the path of Captain Cuttlam, only to watch them drop like all the rest, the pirate lord's fists flew like lightning. Drunken, disoriented and confused lightning, but lightning nonetheless. And even intoxicated as he was, wild haymakers seemed to do him just fine as the half dozen or so men he was fighting went down one after another. The last couple backed off when they realized that this night wasn't going to go their way, and the pirates thought that they might return to their tavern crawl, heading off toward the nearest bar.

By the time they finished their next drink, Octavius and Luther were jovial once more. Immersed in their cheerful reminiscing, it was clear that anything productive that might have been planned, or even considered, for the evening, wasn't about to happen. The two stuck to revelling in their drunkenness and generally disturbing those around them, the thought of doing anything other than rejoicing was repulsive by this point, so they ran from their responsibilities even as they ran from one drinking establishment to the next, ensuring that anyone who might want to interrupt their merriment would have a hell of a time doing so, at the very least...
Almost, working on it. :P
