Something beautiful happens in this world [Open]
Who: Deputy Pratt and YOU!
What: Cake decorating, showing off his artistic prowess, shovel knight time
When: Later half of January
Where:Sand Dollars, the Library, Upper Deck
Warnings: None! (Well that's rare for him)
1. Sand Dollars
Pratt has completed his scientific research (having Sharky eat various cupcakes while naked) and has taken actual notes which are in the little notepad next to him while he sits at a table in Sand Dollars. He has one of the plastic trays from the buffet and has assembled a circle of cupcakes onto it to resemble a cake and is using a plastic butter knife to spread the frosting around so it looks like it's all one piece.
The wrappers from all of them are on the table nearby, along with some colorful other cupcakes that he's going to scoop the frosting off of in order to write out a message on this cake.
Yes, he is making the Captain a "Congrats on the Sex" cake. Sure it's been a few weeks but his memory is trash okay. He's trying.
2. The Library
Well, the binder is gone, which sucks because Pratt has already forgotten 80% of the contents. He assumes one of those people obsessed with blowing the place up stole it. So he will add his contribution to its recovery.
In its place is a Serena Eterna spiral notebook with a ship on the front, the ship is crossed out and instead there's a reproduction of Ryan's original cat drawing of Guatauva, but every page afterwards also has a cat drawing. He has faithfully recreated every cat internet meme he can think of. There's space above and below to make them into ship-centric memes. So have at.
His drawings look like this because I'm not going to draw 30 cat memes.
3. Deck
Pratt picked up the best package from home he's ever gotten. It was huge heavy and when he unwrapped it he squealed like a school girl because he's so damn excited. Friday is his favorite person for the next few hours because he has his shovel launcher now. Which is exactly what it sounds like, it is a rocket launcher, that shoots shovels.
He has a pile of shovels next to him, as he stands on the deck, aiming at the hull of the ship and then KUHTHUWNK the thing embeds itself into the metal siding and Pratt straight up cackles. Oh this is fantastic.
On the other side of him is his Christmas present he never opened which is 99 cans of Pabst in an absurdly long box and he's about to have the best day. Drink some beer, launch some shovels, spend way too long prying shovels out of the ship to do it again.
Montana's finest, right here.

Hit me with anything. He's always in the buffet or arcade or around the deck doing random patrols.

[Just when you thought you've heard of everything.]
Seems inefficient. But I guess that ain't the point, huh. Sounds like you're having a good time. What happens to the boat if you really start to break it, though? Slap on the wrist from Friday?
no subject
As soon as I leave it'll fix itself, the hard part is prying the shovels out of the wall. But I don't really wanna set this off indoors, probably go through eight walls and end up in someone bathroom.
no subject
[Theo, as usual, if full of a hundred questions.]
Huh. So if you left the shovel in the wall, what happens to the shovel? Does it just fall out? Disappear? Show back up in your room with a note from the Captain that just has a frowny face on it?
no subject
[Theo is clearly not from nowhere, Montana.]
I.... I have no idea. I guess cuz it's mine it'll just fall out onto the ground? If it was something of the ships it would disappear. If I started launching potted plants they'd vanish. Or well, they'd go back to where they were originally all patched up. Kinda like loading up their save states.
Soooooorta don't wanna try it cuz I only have so many shovels and I dunno where to get more.
no subject
[Theo walks over to inspect the damage and the shovels. Being a mage is a lot like being a scientist, and he can't help but want to experiment.]
I feel like people don't test the limits of this space enough. This thing? This is a good start if ya ask me.
no subject
Anything that'll fit in there I guess. It needs to be pretty long or it's not gonna make it out the barrel, the spring is designed for shovels. I guess I could increase the strip powder motor and it might launch something else.. It was an RPG-7 originally but the Whitetails didn't have any rockets left so might as well modify it.
[He will keep right on rambling about how this thing works if Theo doesn't stop him.]
I sawed the fins off so that it won't rotate cuz you don't really need the twist rifling for shovels, but I could probably put it back on for something with an actual explosive payload.
no subject
... Broom handles? Chair legs? Bannister railings? You think somethin' like those would work?
no subject
Yeah, broom would work. I guess you're thinking something sharpened like a javelin right? I think that would work but without the heavy tip on it I'm not sure it would sail straight, or even really where you're pointing it. But I mean... worth a try. Not like I have anything better to do.
[He's already out here shooting shovels into walls, might as well try with something a little deadlier.]
no subject
[He can agree to that last part though, and nods.]
Yeah, I... [A little shrug.] I've got not idea what I'm supposed to actually be doing on this boat. Why not wreck shit and see how far I can get?
no subject
Might as well. We don't have a purpose here as far as I can tell. Not for ourselves anyway - I'm sure the Captain thinks we do being his free-range battery farm. But yeah, we gotta entertain ourselves so [Shrug.] Shovel launcher.
I'm sure all you magic types will be able to get together and do some shit about this place, and I can't really help with that? Not unless you need a blood sacrifice or something.
no subject
[He smirks a bit, but it fades fast.] You don't have to worry about it from me, though, I can't cast anymore. Long story I don't really wanna get in to. But even if I did, this place is so fake that I dunno if I'd manage much in the way of spells anyway. Well. Not without bloods sacrificed anyway.
[Is he joking?? Hard to tell with this kid.]
no subject
[Pratt's knowledge of how magic works is so minimal that he'd definitely volunteer his blood up for rituals (and actually has done that already with Palamedes) without realizing that someone could use that against him.]
Yeah people were telling me they lost some of their uh.. powers? Spells? When they showed up here. Guess that's one good thing about being a normal guy, nothing different here.
no subject
I actually "lost" [Cue an air-quotes gesture] my casting before I got here. More like someone took it, and I ended up here before I could get it back. Though I seriously doubt it was ever going to get returned to me anyway. So. Now here I am, with a lifetime of wasted career research.
[Says a kid. Hard to pin an age on him with that pallid complexion and dark-circled eyes, but he couldn't possibly be older than 20.]
no subject
Maybe you could get a magic staff or whatever and use that. [Still thinking in Diablo terms.] I wonder where the Moon Master's went... Though you'd look.. kinda goofy with a sailor moon looking staff with a crescent on top. He did too but he was so fucking over the top he pulled it off. Straight up anime villain shit.
no subject
I have no idea what a sailor moon or an anime villain is, but uh, I think I catch your drift. Problem is, at least where I come from, either you can cast magic or you can't. There are very few instances in history of anyone without that spark of magic being able to do anything at all. It gets all fucked up, fizzles out, backfires. [Now if Theo only knew that his mentor was one of those hapless folks who managed it. He'd lose his mind.]
no subject
Oh. Bummer for people like me. But you already could, so you just gotta get your groove back. You could ask Friday to look out for you, she's the one who collects the packages and then gives them to whoever. Get on her good side and if anything neat and magical shows up maybe she'll give it to you.
no subject
no subject
[ Hard problems, easy solutions. ]
no subject
I-- I don't wanna get into it. Trust me, I would have if I could've.
[Don't trust him. He's lying. This kid is all murdered out.]
Besides, they're long gone, I'm long gone. I'm never seeing 'em again. So unless a magical package shows up for me here, I'm pretty fucked.
no subject
If not that maybe you'll get something fun. It's not all bad here. [You know, like a shovel launcher.]
