Y'know... speaking of Rosie/Janelle... I really miss that little troupe... Alex and Smoke and Rosie... *sighs wistfully* ... those were definitely some interesting tales to tell.

Topic: Tales from the Smuggler's Moon
Subject: Collab: The Brothers Hawkes and a Braydyn
“But I want to help,” Lyri complained after Jericho had ordered her and the others back to Smuggler’s Moon, “Willow needs more lookin at than me, and…”
“Belay th’ belly-achin’, lass,” Jericho chuffed, staying any more of the former barmaid’s protests with the lifting of a hand, “Ye’ll be o’ more help back onna ship, aye? An’ I’m gonna need ye hale an’ hearty out tae sea…” He rested that hand on Lyri’s shoulder and grinned at her then… “Ye’ll be gettin’ yer fill o’ adventure soon enough, Lyri Evermoon. Don’ ye be worryin’ yerself ‘bout tha’.”
“Oh rubbish,” Lyri grumbled even as she accepted, however grudgingly, the captain’s orders. “Aye, I’ll go.”
“Aye,” Jericho smiled, winking at her, “thar be a good star ta steer by, lass. Get yerself acquainted wit’ th’ ship an’ yer mates e’re we weigh anchor, lovely; et’ll be makin’ th’ sail all th’ better fer ye. Ye’ll nae be wantin’ fer a lack o’ comp’ny, aye?”
With that, he let go of the red-haired half-elf and turned his gaze on the others… Maast, stern faced and determined looking as always… and Willow, lovely as ever, he noticed, even with the blackening eyes, swollen nose, and smears of blood that stained her face. “Of ye go, then,” he grinned, shoving an errant tumble of braids back over his shoulder before, shooing them off , “Me an’ Khash’ll nae be far behind an’ we’ll be bringin’ th’ job back wi’ us, aye? Trust me…”
((Assuming some general “Aye, Cap’n’s” and such as the crew makes to head for the ship))
Jericho began backing in the opposite direction as Maast, Willow, and Lyri turned to make for the ship. He watched them for a moment, smiling faintly as, for lack of his scarf, he tangled his locks into the loose semblance of a pony-tail… “Ahoy, Will,” he called, before the troop got much farther away… When the bardess glanced back his smile brightened… “I’m sorry ‘bout tha’, aye,” he said, touching his own nose and feigning a wince, “I’ll be sure ta make et up to ye, lovely.”
He winked, and then, spun on his heel, and swaggered almost nonchalantly back toward The Rusty Hook, grinning and singing (although, likely not as well as Willow might’ve) as he went…
~Take up the sheets me hearties,
Water the decks with brine,
Bend to the oars, you lousy whores,
None is bigger than mine.~
…the corsair captain was only another half-a-verse into the song when the Hook’s now loosely-hanging door was framed in his sight, and scarce a note past that when Khash and a Halfling came crashing out of the place and landed with a thud at Jericho’s feet.
“Done wit’ yer dancin’, then, are ye, li’l brother,” Jericho snickered, arching a brow as the half-orc grinned and began to haul himself up from the street, “Ne’er did unnerstand why, wha’ wit’ a pretty lass like Lyri battin’ eyes, ye a’ways seems ta end up sashayin’ about wit’ big ugly blokes, aye?”
“Ahoy Cap'n,” the half-orc chuckled, stifling a groan over his sore ribs, “ye fergot somtin.”
Jericho grinned brightly and clapped his brother on the shoulder as Khash produced both Captain Bobo’s ‘advance’ and the bottle of strawberry-flavored rum that Willow had bought. “I dinna fergit, Khash-mate,” he chuckled, taking the bottle and indulging in a nice long pull, “I knowed ye’d be fetchin’ ‘em, seein’ as ye were innat proxim’ty, aye?”
He winced as the alcohol poured over a cut on his lip and shivered a bit as it served to soothe the ache of a few other brawl-related injuries… “Here,” he said, offering the bottle back to Khash, “look’s ef ye c’n be usin’ a knock o’ this yerself, aye? An’ hang on tae tha’ purse’s well, mate… I reckon any picky-pockets hereabouts’d think more ‘bout th’ consequences o’ nickin’ you as me, saavy?”
Jericho glanced at Braydyn, then, and smirked; “Ye recruitin’ fer us whilst ye were dancin’, too, me brother?”
Before Khash could even swallow the scowling halfling had turned to face the brothers and shot back a response. The rum caught in the younger Hawkes' throat at the little man's words.
" 'im? Dancin? Ha! Ye both be daft!" bitterness spewed forth from Braydyn's lips, and Jericho could only raise an eyebrow as the halfling blocked any attempts to interrupt him " 'Deliver a message to me brother'" he sneered "an then ye both go 'bout makin me inta sum kinda bird! Then there’s the part with retrievin’ dis one, you'd make it worth me while ye said. Ye nae said anytin bout almost bein part ta murder!" Khash audibly choked on the rum, but Braydyn's temper was in full force; he wasn't about to pause.
"T'was bad enough ye busted my wares," at this both brothers shared a puzzled look. "but then ye go about draggin’ me inta yer bar fight, an use be like sum two-bit erran' boy!" The confusion of the Hawkes’ only served to frustrate the halfling further and he gripped his head in both hands "Aaaarrrrrgh!"
I was already doomed, Braydyn groused inwardly, why couldn't I just get the time to enjoy my last meal! Instead I'm beaten and sore and Redleaf will be sending out his men any time now. I haven't a hope in...
“Busted wares,” Jericho repeated quizzically, his grin spreading despite the Halfling’s obvious irritation and his own confusion, and his cinnamon eyes sparkling with mirth as they skipped away from Braydyn and fell on Khash once more, “Murder?
Wha’s this’n blusterin’ on about, then, Khash-mate? Ye’d think th’ lad’s ne’er seen ‘im a tavern-tussle er some…”
Braydyn suddenly looked up, as the first part of Jerchio's statement dawned on him.
"..er... wait... recruitin? fer what exactly?" the shaking in Braydyn's voice showed he was trying beat down his temper. He looked back over his shoulder at the Rusty Hook and shuddered. "Better yet, hows ‘bout ye tell me as we clear outta here."
As he reached over and took the bottle from Khash, again, Jericho chuckled and gave a shake of his head. “Fer wha’, th’ lubber asks,” the corsair captain smirked around the neck of the bottle as he spilled another swallow past his lips and, then, offered his brother a wink as his gaze swung back to the frazzled Halfling, “We be lookin’ tae fill some empty spots in th’ harem o’ Empress Mariota I up tae Hexworth, o’ course! Th’ wench’s gone an’ weared out th’ las’ halflin’ she were buggerin’ an’ commissioned us tae fetch her a fresh supply, aye?”
At this Khash snorted a laugh, before seeming to clutch his ribs momentarily, then shaking it off with a grin, again.
Jericho couldn’t help but laugh out loud when Braydyn flushed and blinked up at him in utter shock and, as he thrust the rum bottle back at Khash with one hand, he let the other fall to the halfling’s shoulder. “Take a good lookit us, wee man,” Jericho chortled as he began guiding them away from the Hook and through a series of twisting alleyways and sidestreets, “an’ be ponderin’ long an’ hard on where ye be, aye? Whaddye think we be recruitin’ fer? We be hopin’ tae put on a few hands ‘ere th’ Moon sets sail, agin, mate! An’ by th’ sound o’ yer blusterin’, I reckon ye wouldn’ be opposed tae settin’ Freeport in yer own wake fer a spell, would ye?
Braydyn looked back towards their current 'wake' and the sounds of the guards finally cracking down on the tussle. He wasn't sure what he was getting himself into, but it had to be better than what Redleaf had planned for him. Resigning himself to his fate, the former merchant sighed. "Aye then, if ye'll get me out, let's go."
Jericho offered a faint nod at that but, otherwise, just kept right on grinning as his eyes danced along the decaying thoroughfares of The Docks district. “Now, where in th’ bloody hells did tha’ monkey get tae?”
((OOC: There ye be, me hearties! The first bit, of course, rehash some earlier bits but I left 'em in so there'd be less need to go back and forthing, yeah? Soooo... collab out of the way, T_O working his silvery-screeny bit... and Eol prepping to fire up the meeting with Bobo and getting our crew all back on board again... Another post coming soon.  ))

Subject: I am writing...
...I swear!
Just sent some collab goodness T_O's way so things should be moving right along. 
T_O - I really just need some responses/input from Khash and Braydyn (if any) on that collab bit and can probably run with the catching up with Bobo and finalizing the commission from there in order to get us to our "whoosh" moment and such...

I wish it was partying all weekend, K!
In all actuallity, it was more like people stopping by unannounced, hanging around for a few hours to "chit chat" about nothing, and keep me from doing what I really wanted to do (because, you know, going on about your day when people stop by unannounced is rude, I've been informed)... 
Anyhoo... guess i shouldn't really complain about being loved, should I? Somebody call the WAHmbulance...
Meeting... Post... in that order.

Topic: Gender Roles (an unorganized possible feminist rant)
Subject: Interesting observation...
...and, in my experience, pretty darn accurate, too, now that I've thought about it. Generally speaking, anyway... *nods*
That said, I have had the opportunity to game with a handful of folks who have seen those stereotypes, snorted in derision, and tossed them directly into "File 13"...
I recall one girl I played with in High School had a penchant for playing fighters and did so without so much as brushing against the stereotypes above... The one character of hers that sticks in my mind was a barbarian fighter-type (who's name escapes me after all these years) - the character was "muscular" for a female, of course, but far from unattractive and far from having the "She-Hulk" complex mentioned above...
Personally, other than very early on in my gaming career, I veered away from the burly, brawny, fighter type and I have never played a cleric (and I've really only played a mage of any sort here at the Inn in Alacrity's CWWLLO game). In fact, my personal preference in characters leans toward the roguish-sorts (thieves, assassins (yay, Nyx!!!), and the like) and, should those particualr spots be filled in a game, then I look towards ranger (but, you know, I've pretty much ignored the 'magic' abilities that they gain as they level... guess I'm just not the mana-slinging type at the heart of it all.)
Meh... lookit me runnin' on about nothin'...  ... I've got a meeting to go to!!!

Yay for postiness!
The day got away from me yesterday but I do have a post of my own in the works and should have it ready to fly in just a bit...
...also, received a very nifty concept from Innmate Jenna, yesterday, and pending a PM or two, she should be bringing on a very nifty character of her own... soooo, you know, welcomes and facelicks to Jenna.

Topic: Smuggler's Moon Q&A
Subject: Okay...
...so here's what I know for sure:
- Celeste is on board as the lovely Saercyn Willow and will be taking up the character of Marlow, as well (along with whatever other fascinating NPCs she might just brew up).
- T_O will be reprising Khash (best first mate onna seas) and an assorment of NPCs of his own.
- Chess will be returning as Askurt Maast, our master gunner...and...we'll see who/what else.
- I'm in, of course, as your Cap'n and various other salts, swabs, and scurvy sea dogs...
- We've got Kriea on board (YAY!) as a rather downtrodden young lad by the name of Jesse who's lookin' ta find a way outta Freeport, it seems. I also have very little doubt that she'll not be long in fleshing out some NPCs of her own before long.
- Have pinged both Meri and Lady D regarding Davi and Lyri but haven't heard from either, as yet. Still hopeful.
- RP Noob has left the Inn for personal reasons and, as such, likely won't be reprising Asim.
- Dragonblood and The Haruspex, too, have vanished from the Inn again and it's doubtful we'll be seeing either of them.
That gives us 5 for sure... possibly 7 depending on replies from Meri and Lady D... how are we, crew, as far as setting sail as is? Good with it or should I toss a recruitment thread out?

...yeah, sounds about the time I started, too... and I vaguely recall seeing this episode of 60 Minutes, rolling my eyes, and dreading the speech my mom was sure to already be preparing.
You're evil... all of you... and I love it.

...that depends. If Lady D has truly vanished you might want to look at taking up the role of Lyri... she looked as if she might be fun.
Oooooor.... you could go with a "from scratch" kind of thing, put together a new character, background, etc, and away we go.

...how about this?
If we crack the Top 5 and hold that spot for better than a day, any Innmate who posts the result to this thread (and has voted), gets a chance to win an original piece of Eol art (I'm talking the actual paper version, here... not one that I've done, scanned, and e-mailed...)?

Oh, I bet that Ol' Uncle Run with Scissors might just be able to rummage some kind of "cool incentive" out of the Ancient Trunk of Grooviness...
What sort of cool incentive would convince you Innmates to vote, I wonder? I'm open to suggestions.
