Norrington threw the dried seagull aside. "So it would seem." He drew his sword and started on his way toward the giant-singing-dancing gingerbread monster. He'd gotten a ways ahead when he turned back and saw Aramis standing where he'd been-dancing. "What are you doing? Come on!" He half dragged him forward then continued toward the monster. "If it's being controlled by it's 'unholy master' then I'm sure all we have to do is find his master."

(The gingerbread monster starts to attack Randomman and Big Gun.) Randomman: hotshot! The mind dolls on top of his head! (Big Gun quickly avoids the giant fist coming in her path. and lunches a cannon ball from the cannon chained to her left Arm. the gingerbread man is pushed back from the impact but recovers in a moment’s haste.) Randomman: that's one tough cookie! (Big Gun shoots her harpoon gun at the gingerbreads chest) Big Gun:got him. Randomman: Yohohoho! I hope we can become good friends once this is over former god! (Randomman starts running up the rope while Big Gun backs him up by shooting at the gingerbread man with her cannon. Randomman climbs on top of the creatures head and proceeds to remove the mind doll. The Cake Goddess comes out of hiding.) Cake Goddess screaming: don't let these fools walk all over you! Kill them! (The Cake Goddess holds out her mind doll to command the gingerbread.)

'Norrington, do you ever have any fun? And the dance was catchy too.' He sulkily ran alongside Norrington, unhappy that his dance had been interrupted. Bloody Norrington, always spoiling his fun. It didn't take them long to reach the sight of the festivities, it was only a small island after all. 'Look Norrington, even Random Man's joined in with the dancing!'
'Well, for some it might be dancing but I don't find it so catchy.'(captain ok'd)
'Looks a little violent to me. But, when amongst natives...' Aramis pulled his pistol, aimed, and fired at the giant gingerbread man, and charged towards it with his sword drawn, swinging wildly at it. 'Norrington, you should come join in, it's fun! Plus, it tastes pretty good too.' He took a bite out of it. Not bad, but not as good as his cooking. Where was the love? The passion? The chocolate?

Norrington sliced off a piece of the ginger bread monster as it swung at him. "I fail to see what's fun....there is no tea." How could you possibly eat so much ginger bread with out tea? When Norrington and Aramis both take slices from it's gum drop button-that was too much. Mongo Kongo bent down and picked them both up in his gingery hands and shook them around-knocking Norrington's (well, the Captains) nice hat to the ground.
"That's MY hat!" Captain Dusk made her dramatic entrance complete with back lighting. She bent down calmly to pick up the fallen hat, while Mongo Kong leaned down to her level and roared in her face. She dusted off the hat calmly. "Ew...ginger breath." Mongo looked angry and took a swipe at her but she ducked underneath. Then fired at the shining mind doll on his head, shattering it with a single shot.

(The creature roars of rage stop for a moment only to be refocused on the Cake Goddess who was quietly trying to sneak away.) Cake Goddess: cruse you! (Mongo Kongo proceeds to chase after the Cake Goddess across the island.the cake tribe comes back cheering the Hangman's crew.the village elder starts speaking to Randomman.) Randomman: the tribe has agreed to reward us with the last years festival treasure. The elder starts talking to Randomman.) Randomman: also if you ever need any help we are always welcome here. (The tribe starts to cheer.) Randomman: the treasure includes gold, silver, jewels (especially emeralds) and also cocoa, vanilla and brazilwood! (the tribe starts loading up the Hangman's treasure and head out to The coast for The Midnight Hangman.)

Whilst everyone else was rubbing hands in glee over the treasure, they had forgotten about the plight of poor Aramis and Norrington, still trapped in the clutches of Mongo Kong. 'Norrington, this likes the end for us. There's something I've been meaning to say to your since we first met. I love...' He was cut off as he began to fall, sweat melting away Mongo's gingerbread mitts. 'Oww!' he shouted as he landed on top of Norrington. 'Thanks for breaking my fall Norri.'
Looking around he spied the ship in the distance. 'Hey, I can see my house from here! Come on Norri, if we don't hurry, they're going to leave without us, and I for one don't want to waste away here when Tortuga beckons.' He pulled Norrington to his feet, and dragged him back towards the waiting ship, badly whistling what might have been a sea shanty.

"How many times do I have to tell you NOT to call me 'Norri' my god...you keep getting stranger..." Norrington trudged behind him. Slightly disturbed by his confession. "And stop touching me!' He smacked his hand off.
Meanwhile, Captain Dusk had already returned to the ship-not being stopped by any giant gingery mitts. She grinned widely, admiring all the shiny treasure coming on to the ship. With this much swag coming in it would make up for the lack of honest pirating this last month. "Right, I can't wait to split this up, what do you want Norri?....Norri?" She looked around. "Hmm..."

(Randomman jumps on to the deck of the Midnight Hangman.) Randomman: ok were back Mr. Witch Doctor!... yo were are you? (Randomman starts searching the ship at light speed) Randomman: oh come on! you were the best lead so far! (Randomman starts mumbling something about "I'm in despair, why couldn’t I be born as a sea cucumber? No not even a sea cucumber would fail this badly!" Big Gun swims near by the deck to Randomman.) Big Gun: don't worry I'm sure we will find another lead. (Randomman recovers) Randomman: Yohohohoho! Of course! Nothing can bring down our adventures passion!(what are you saying XD) (Randomman lights on fire) Randomman: gah! fire fire! (Randomman falls down off the ship.) Randomman:Phifft! Cough cough water water! (Big Gun tosses Randomman back onto the ship) Randomman:ooo thank you Big Gun! Big Gun: no problem
-Meanwhile in the Nightcost Main Headquarters-
(the rooms design is like that of a court house. A man steeps foreword covered in a ragged torn cloak.) Nightcoast Council member Klaus: So Doctor how did the toys fare? (the man uncovers his cloak to show himself as the Witch Doctor) Witch Doctor grinning: quit well and The Midnight Hangmen's crew was very interesting to. Nightcoast Council member Cuì nī tí: We should proceed to keep a watchful eye on these pirates. (The Members all agree) Nightcoast Council member Klauis: Do you have anything else to report doctor? Witch Doctor: yes. Would it please the board if we can issue a bounty on the crew? Nightcoast Council member Mümtaz: on what grounds doctor? Witch Doctor: kukuku I wish to see how strong these seadogs really are. (The members talk it over) Nightcoast Council member Klauis: it is done. You are free to go. Next report. (The Witch Doctor leaves the room laughing like a manic)
-Navy Headquarters-
Navy Officer: Message from Nightcoast sir. Navy Admiral: what is it officer? Navy Officer: Nightcoast wants a bounty posted dead or alive on a pirate crew. (Navy Admiral takes out a ink pen and paper to right down the crew names. giving the officer the cue his ready to write down) Navy Officer: their names are..
-scene changes into a Tortuga pub-
Pirate: The Midnight Hangman's Captain Dusk Rose reward £50 dead or alive.. (Another Pirate bashes him in the head with a bottle of rum and starts reading the rest) Pirate: The crew of the Midnight Hangman are £25 huh (a booming voice thunders into the pub.) "Aye what be this talk that"s floating around Tortuga at this ghastly hour?" (The pub stays in awe the legend himself Blackbeard has returned. A pirate stumbles to speak up) Pirate: the fuss is about this pirate crew called The Midnight Hangman Pirates. They've seam to come under everyone's eyes and ears now. But no one seems to know much info about them. (Blackbeard laughs and takes a seat to order some rum. he snatches the bounty paper off the wall) Blackbeard laughing even moor wildly: For a pirate crew no one seams to know the captain has half my current bounty! (Blackbeard laughs some moor) Blackbeard: well this should be fun! I look forward to meeting you and your crew Captain Dusk Rose! (Blackbeard calms down and stares at the people in the pub.) Blackbeard: Come, let us make a hell of our own, and try how long we can bear it! (Outside the pub can be seen fire with servel people rushing out in fear. Blackbeard comes out pigtails smoking on fire. Shooting his gun and swinging his sword in the air. While still hanging on to his rum.) Blackbeard: Damn ye, ye yellow-bellied sapsuckers! I'm a better man than all ye milksops put together!
-scene fades out-

'Captain! You weren't thinking about setting sail without us were you?' He shouted up as he climbed the side of the ship. 'I don't think Norrington here would be able to stand being stranded here. He seems to have no spirit, no sense of adventure. Plus, I don't think he knows any good campfire songs. Ooh, shinies!'
He resumed his tuneless whistling and began rummaging through the treasure that the natives had pilled on deck, unearthing a shrunken head, a slightly torn waistcoat just the right size for Steve, and a hookah pipe. 'Captain, if you don't mind, I'll be taking these to my cabin, and I may not be back for a while.'
Without waiting for an answer he headed below decks to his small cabin. He stopped and raised the shrunken head to his ear, nodded and turned back to the captain. 'Jose here reckons we should head to Tortuga now. He wants to find a body. That, or it was he wanted to go to a brothel. My Spanish is a little rusty...'

Norrington looked down, how did he know? So, his father Lawrence Norrington was a busy man-an Admiral and all. He didn't have time to teach him any camp fire songs...maybe that was where his childhood all went wrong. He never even made it to any of his cricket matches... He suppressed a tear.
Captain Dusk looked at Aramis' retreating back and then at Norrington. "Uh oh, moody Norri. Aramis get up here and get us ready to set sail. We're going to Tortuga, that should be motivation enough to do a good job. And say sorry to Norri." She pouted.

'Sorry Norri. Here, you can give Jose here a quick hug if you want, we won't mind. He is partial to men. That or it was meat.' He throw the shrunken head at Norrington, and put down his nice new hookah pipe. 'And Captain, as you order, so shall I do.'
He began moving around the deck shouting orders, not realising that there were no actual crew apart form Random Man, that weird metal thing, the mop girl who seemed to be missing, the captains little slave, er cabin boy, and himself. Nodding to himself he began to ready the ship, maybe he thought that he was the other crew members?
Miraculously the ship was ready to sail in short order with only three people doing anything. 'Captain, the ship is ready to sail. The crew took a little too long today though, maybe they need more rum.' He withdrew a small water skin from beneath his coat, and took a swig, sighing. 'Ah, that's better.' He looked about, clutching it close to his chest. 'My rum, go get your own you lazy dogs!'

"Yes, yes, right free access to the rum today." She said with a wave of her hand, sure that the crew she seemed to forget didn't exist, would enjoy it. "If it'd cheer you up moody-face-Norri, you can share my cabin boy if you like." He looked at her a little appalled, then realized what she was actually saying. "Wha?! oh... it's alright, I fed earlier thanks to Aramis... though the offer is tempting I'm sure." "Sure thing, just don't collapse on me." She stopped. "Hmm...... wasn't there something there before?" She asked Norrington absently. "In your quarters? I thought you just had ONE cabin boy unless of course while we were in Tortuga-" "No no, not there, there.... did somebody actually mop?" Norrington sighed heavily. "You mean an ENTIRE long boat, master?" "Maybe someone put it away properly?" "I think we'd be able to tell somehow...must have been those bloody cake natives. I swear, if we ever return to that island I will-" "No more like 'chocolatey' actually. We'll just get a new one at Tortuga." The Captain said serenely. "Oh yeah," She stopped. "You dropped this." She put a hat on Norrington, but somehow he was sure it wasn't the same one that had fallen off earlier today.

Aramis skipped around the deck in joy. As much rum as he could drink! Could this day get any better? He tripped over a lump of wood, landing flat on his face. A nice shiny penny! A day like this only ever came once in a lifetime, well maybe twice if you were really lucky, or immortal. Picking himself up, he put the penny in his shoe for safe keeping, then remembered Steve's new waistcoat.
'Steve! I have something for you!' Aramis climbed the rigging heading towards his pet attack sloth, intent on making him wear his new item of clothing. Every good attack sloth needed a waistcoat, especially on a ship, everyone knew that. Or maybe just Aramis. After a short fight, and many new cuts, he manged to dress Steve. 'There you go boy, don't you look spiffy now!.'
Jumping down from the rig, and landing in a very uncomfortable position on top of a canon, he headed once more to his cabin, picking up Jose who seemed to have grown quite attached to a pretty little voodoo doll that bore an uncanny resemblance to Aramis, and the hookah pipe. Tonight was going to a wild party in the cabin!

Captain Dusk leaned over the railing, she actually knew the crew had jumped ship back when she was drawing the ma-...studying the charts and graphs to get to candy cane cove. Norrington stood beside her in his rather new looking hat, looking about ready to keelhaul the first person who so much as raised their voice. "Hey Norri, how about I tell you those things we have to do so you can call me 'Mistress' now. I've exhausted my cabin boy- ...I'm not sure he'll actually survive this time... hm... I'm not thirsty any more though." She smiled innocently. "So it would seem, however, I'm afraid I really should go see if...if..." He looked around for someone that looked like they needed help. Of course there wasn't anyone, they didn't need HELP being useless. "...see if Aramis needs help preparing his 'party'." "I love parties! I'll come and help provide entertainment!" "No! I mean, no thank you master. You should probably rest after all this hard work doing your Captain duties today." He left before he could hear her reply, and didn't stop until he'd closed Aramis' door behind him. He took one look at the scene in front of him and moaned. "Oh dear god why this room?"

'Why hello sailor, come to have a little fun have we?' Aramis was reclined on his hammock, bottle of what appeared to be rum in hand. In actual fact it was only apple juice, slightly gone off apple juice, but only apple juice. 'Here, grab a seat, and I'll regale you with a song.' He pointed to a small stool lurking beneath a pile of stoles.
Rummage behind him he withdrew a slightly battered violin, and much to Norrington's amazement began to play a stirring baroque tune. Once he finished he placed the violin carefully on the floor, and turned to face Norrington. 'Now then, what brings you down here Norrington? Did our Captain make you worried? Don't worry about her, she means no harm, just a little, odd, at times. Oh, before I forget, I have a little something for you. Now, where did I put it...' He jumped from his hammock and rummaged beneath a pile of stinking clothes.
'Ah ha! Here it is!' He flourished a slightly moldy looking book. 'This is a first edition Gutenburg bible. For all your hard work today, I would like you to have it.' He held out the bible, waiting for Norrington to accept the gift.
