ARRRRR, ME MATEY. A STORM'S AFOOT!
Here, all us YWS-ers are on the pirate ship - the S.S.Y.W.S. - run by our faithful captain Nate. We've been sailing peaceful waters for some time now, but after a recent skirmish with our pirate rivals who sail the earthy colored ship, The Green Room, it seems we've run into turbulent waters. Things are getting rough out here on the ship, and who knows how this'll go! Ye better take heart, fellow pirates, 'cause we're about to face a mighty fierce storm and we're gonna need to work together!

"There's a small likelihood we'll make it out alive, here, folks," captain @Nate announced to the crew of the ship, as the fierce stom continued to rage and the waves pounded against the sides of the S.S.Y.W.S. He held on to the helm of the ship, looking out into the rumble of dark waters that was the ocean around them. First mate @Snoink looked to Nate grimly, shaking her head. "Those don't sound like favorable odds."
@Kays held to the mainmast at her place in the crow's nest, and shook her fist at the sky. "This is all because we fled the S.S.Green Room, instead of facing it boldly like we should have!"
Naturally, however, over the loud thundering that was the storm, and her voice not carrying very far because of her heightened position on the ship, no one seemed to reply. That was, until @DemonGoddess crawled up to the crow's nest with a pair of binoculars.
"I've summoned my minions for support," DemonGoddess informed Kays.
"How are they going to get to us in this storm, though?"
"I don't think you realize. I am a goddess."
And with that, Kays only simply nodded. No use arguing with a goddess.
Down below, on the main deck, the rest of the crew struggled to secure the sails and compensate for the angry winds coming upon them.
"MAYBE WE BROUGHT THIS UPON OURSELVES," @soundofmind yelled across the deck to a struggling @saentiel, who almost slipped on the wet deck but managed to grab onto the main mast. Sound slipped and slid over to her, ready to repeat herself, before saentiel replied.
"You think this is Karma?" She asked.
Sound looked confused for a moment. "Karma? I don't know her."
Saentiel looked ready to reply with a joke but suddenly, the local wolf, @wolfical stumbled over to them, knocking both of them down. They heap of wet sailors struggled to get back on their feet as the ship rocked back and forth.
Saentiel helped sound up, and sound helped Wolfie up. Then the ship hit a particularly large wave, and everyone above deck who wasn't already holding on to something fell over.
WHAP! Splash!
"POTATO OVERBOARD!" @Falconrygirl9086 yelled. "POTATO OVERBOARD!"
@Lumi, without hesitation, ran to the edge. "We're coming for you, @sheytato!" Lumi yelled, before tying a rope around his waist, securing it to the mast, and diving in after Shey with the life-saver in hand.
