Swashbucklin'!, Thursday
It was a bedraggled-looking Edward who met them at the Danger Shop that morning, offering no apologies for his absence last week (hangover), but wielding a tired smirk none the less.
"Right, I'd rather do this outside, but unfortunately, we're a bit low on galleons 'round this island," he said. "Now I stole my ship, the Jackdaw, from a Spanish fleet shortly before I came here. The wind was whipping about, and I was stuck in the hold. But my friend Adé, he concocted a plan: he used the oatmeal we'd been given for our breakfast to loosen up the shackles that bound us together."
He punched a button, and the Danger Shop morphed itself into a ship around them - another not far away from them.
"Together, we managed to give them the slip," he said. "We freed a few more good men and escaped our prison. Then we entered the next ship, subdued those aboard," 'subdued' being the PG-13 version of what they did, here, "and took the vessel for our own. We were lucky: a storm was comin' and sank the rest of the fleet before they could tell we'd scarpered."
That smirk was looking a bit less tired, now.
"So today, we're practicing how to enter a ship and take it for yourself," he said. "I want you all to work together, now, aye? Take a cutlass and a gun and hop aboard - or offer covering fire with the cannons."
A beat.
"We'll see how you lot did next week."

Take the Ship!
You'll have to subdue it before it can manage to limp away from you.
Your own vessel comes equipped with two cannons, there are weapons available. Get to the wheel and secure the ship!
Re: Take the Ship!
"Hi, boys!" she said brightly, flipping her hair over her shoulder. "Who's gonna be my new best friend?"
