“TRIPE AND ONIONS!” I grumbled, sitting at the tiny and somewhat ridiculous
wheel.
“Come again?” Roskie inquired with genuine curiosity, sitting one
pace away from me while gazing at the float dancing in the stern wake.
“It’s just a folk expression, dear,” I reassured my daughter. “Folklore
and nothing else.”
“You must be really fond of folklore, dad,” she said. “It’s the fifth
time you’re using a folk expression.”
“Well…”
“Oh, a bite!”
Some stupid voracious fish had been tempted by the bait and bitten,
granting me some reprieve from being grilled on the subject of folklore by a
restless young pirate girl of divine extraction.

“Bom! That’s too much!” I barked loudly, watching in horror as a
muscled green fellow dressed in nothing but a pair of long shorts dragged a
sizeable piece of timber aboard.
It must have come from one of the first vessels that had been
smashed or destroyed by the amber veil engulfing the continent. We kept
coming across barrels and kegs, planks and logs, and fragments of decks
and masts floating by. Bom the self-appointed storekeeper couldn’t bear to
see so much valuable stuff drift right past us and dragged everything he
could reach aboard. We’d already been overloaded at departure. Now the
hapless watercraft creaked at the joints and it felt like it might come apart

was a large twin-hulled boat with a sturdy net stretched between its two
hulls, each of which had a cargo hold and a cabin with two bunks. The tall
mast bore the weight of the sails easily. The vessel itself was well-cared-for,
with hardly a scratch on it. The Terrifying Squeak had somehow managed
to avoid any participation in military action, having originally served as a
fast courier ship delivering small but valuable packages from one vessel of
the armada to another, and subsequently towed rafts with players who’d lost
their ships. As soon as Squeak had reached the shore, the entire crew simply
teleported away with the aid of an artifact enabling one to make local
jumps. Time had been at a premium with so many players eager to reach the
continent in time, so the catamaran had been abandoned, drifting slowly
towards the reefs near the shore. The vessel was saved from certain death in
the nick of time.
Given that its owners had abandoned the ship and that it
would have gotten destroyed without our interference, we decided it was
our property now by rights. Bom, ever the practical one, must have been
speaking from experience when he suggested repainting it and changing the
vessel’s name and the color of her sails, but the rest of us objected to his
