It pains me to no small degree to admit just how intrigued I am by the wounded pirate lying passed-out in my garden.
Thrice now I’ve walked past him, twice to water my tomatoes and once to scare off the gulls. While my investment in this scoundrel’s safety is hardly exceptional, the birds are scarily large and I have no desire to see such a fresh enigma carried off by buzzards.I've little investment in the scoundrel's safety but to have such a fresh enigma carried off by buzzards would be a waste.
His origins are no mystery. The rat’s sleeve is embroidered with a poorly-stitched insignia depicting a skeletal hand holding a torch. I know its meaning just as well as the next diver: faded red flames to represent the fires of rebellion, the hand to represent a certain Captain’s guiding hand through the darkness of war.the faded red flames of rebellion, a certain Captain's guiding hand. It’s laughably egotistical, but then again pride is the least of his crimes as member of the Notched Blades, "freedom fighting" corsairs from the East. Thank goodness so few pirates still existed in Italy.
So this pirate is a member of the self-christened Notched Blades, that notorious band of loosely-connected factions prowling the waters to the East. The valiant freedom fighters determined to put a stop to perceived commercial overreach from the United Merchant Conglomerate and their quiet British Imperial sponsors. It’s hardly an insightful conclusion; there aren’t many corsairs still in operation in this part of the world.
None of my newfound insights help in the slightest to explain what this self-interested degenerate is doing in my garden. Does my five-foot woodengarden fence do nothing to deter heavily wounded intruders? This marauder is very possibly lying on a floral deathbed of peonies and rutabaga, and it seems I have little recourse but to watch and wait for him to die. Shame, but my training is decidedly not medical.
Over the next few days, the half-dead pirate […]
Mainly the goal was "say similar, but with less words." Also dropped some of the more in-depth background on the Notched Blades being loosely associated and fighting British Imperial-backed forces. Figure that right now the focus is "What is this pirate doing here?" as opposed to "here's the geopolitical situation."
Oh, Vitus saw this! Sweet. Not sure if I agree with all of your edits, but I greatly appreciate your taking the time to annotate nonetheless. And I agree that taking out the fourth paragraph is likely my best option. Thanks again :)
It's been about 103,961 posts since my first on page 299. This thread has a lot of posts.
I have no idea how many it has been for me
okay. to find out, check your posts, look for the first LCW, than check the post number and page number. input some data into a calc with the stuff and yeah
I don’t feel like going through my posts to try and find my first one on lcw. Would be fun to figure it out but I can’t be bothered
I have two thread ideas. Gonna flesh them out and then present them here to get feedback and stuff.
nice!
I made a thread in the DDB feedback forum, and I should have done what you did, to get feedback for my idea first. I didn't put much work on fleshing it out yet and I still need to update it. Oh well, I will have to here the feedback the hard way. I asked for it on the thread...
Would anyone be interested in checking out the small insignificant words i wrote, good news it isn't long, bad news, it needs to be longer and better written.

The Yule cat is one of my favorite Christmas monsters! Originating in Iceland, the legend of the Yule cat is as follows:
During the Yuletide season, the Yule cat hunts the streets at night for its prey. Twice the size of a building, this house cat is a force to be reckoned with. It will peer through the windows of houses, searching for its prey: people. But it doesn’t hunt anyone in general, no. Only people who are wearing clothes from last year. If it finds them, it will burst its claw through the window and snatch them right up, devouring them.
the reason it hunts people with old clothes, is because the most important industry in Iceland at the time was making clothes, so if you didn’t have any new ones, it was a sign you weren’t working hard enough.
