The sky is cool, grey, and occasionally misting, but that just means when you are working hard you can keep warm enough.
And there is certainly plenty of work to be done. The deck of the Black Pearl has been cleared off, with debris and pieces that are large enough to reuse stacked carefully. All over is the gleam of cut and exposed wood, the splintered edges cut and smoothed in preparation for patching sections. One mast has been cleared of charred and torn sails and rigging, the canvas and rope set in one area to work on before it can be sent back up.
One of the current priorities, however, is fixing the stern section of the ship, the back wall of the captain's cabin, that took some of the worse damage from the kraken-
Scottish autumn nights can start to get chilly, afterall.
Party thread style, slowtimes more than welcome.

"I head read about him, when I was younger."

Date: 2006-09-18 10:07 pm (UTC)"You've seen some of the things that happen here, sir? And the sort of people here as well? Would anyone believe you back home, if you were to go and speak of magic?"
He shrugs. "People don't quite believe in it, so telling of it is best left as stories."
