lol.

What's the plan? For Gwen, that is. She's supposed to be taken prisoner. Did you have any ideas for how that happens?

She could try to steal supplies, or she could be working for someone who pays her to ruin ships so they have to come back and get repaired by the employee?

Nice, we have a DT now! Note for EloquentDragon: Don't be so serious. This is a storybook, were supposed to have fun with it. Besides, there are a bunch of us who have been in the first part of this and know the procedure. Don't try to direct it.

To expand on this. Penicillin was discovered in 1928. I think this SB is a few centuries before that. So...penicillin would most likely not be even heard of.... Herbs, yes. Penicillin, no. Correct me if I'm wrong, Triplet, but this is like 16th century or something, yes?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penicillin

*hugs Razi* You are so correct. Anyways. I'm trying to think of a post. You didn't give me much to go on, Triplet!

This SB is set in the 17th to 18th century, yes. I've already got some ideas for the obstacles in the Bremuda: a sinkhole that only drowns you if you're scared, mermaids, syrens, cyclops, electric ropes that jump out at regular intivals trying to strangle someone (which I will explain further in) and more you guys can add whenever. Triplet, the crew is eager for your character to be tied to the outdoor railing down to their quaters without a blanket for a few days, and you're only allowed out if you're on a leash being walked by someone ;). This is what happened to Jex in the last 7C's and I think it's the appropriate punishment for you. MWAHAHA.
Let me know if you want to know anything more.

Hey, I'm totally new to this so please bear with me while i get how to SB. I'm just wondering, How should i start out? Do i start going to the ship wanting a job? or that I'm already part of the crew.

Welcome, Liquiddeath, and no worries :D You can start off either way, and I'll post when we move off and start moving towards the Triangle. By that time we'll assume that everyone is onboard, and I'll let the characters know the whole Bremuda idea. So basically anything goes :)

*^wishes she could like above* My grammar Nazi-ness does not apply to storybooks, though. xD See, SBs are fun and good practice with writing, but you can't really review posts. That would interrupt the flow.

Sadly, this is my 667th post. Meaning it's no longer 666. :(

I thought that was it... Still means no penicillin. o.O And that sounds AWESOME, Triplet. lol

Oh dear. Gwen really got herself into trouble, didn't she? *prods* Where is she is now? No one has described her being dragged off or anything. I'd like someone to mention her if it's possible.

If you want, i wont mind letting my character see yours being thrown into the ships cargo area, in chains XD. I did some research on pirates and stuff and it turns out that pirates don't usually take prisoners,unless the prisoner has valuable information for instance, the regular coarse of a cargo ship filled with valuable items! (gold and stuff) Didn't Scar say her character was raised by Spanish merchants, maybe she picked up for valuable information for us ruthless pirates Argh!

Haha, awesome, Liquid. You're welcome to mention her. And she did threaten Turtle. XD Don't forget, she'll be yelling insults in Spanish! lol And yeah, she'll know the sailing routes of all her father's ships. And, not to forget, what they carry... And one is carrying gold and stuff. >.>

Triplet, I seriously, honestly had no idea what to post. But thanks anyways. I think I may be able to post now. ;)
