> Wake up, again

[bathymetric]

[Whether you've met an unfortunately end on the SS Swift, or deep in the depths, wrapped in the crushing tentacles of the kraken... You're not there anymore. You also don't seem to be dead. Maybe. It's difficult to tell, seeing as you no longer have any of the injuries you sustained on the ship... But you're also no longer on the ship.

Your eyes awaken to a cloudless sky, and a dry, dry, desert. A weak breeze struggles to blow even the dust from the cracked earth. There isn't a drop of water for miles around.

But what is around... is a ship. About a dozen yards away from where you've awoken is a tall, two-mast galleon, beached on the wastes, listing to the right.

How did it get here? Who knows. How did YOU get here?

Might be questions for a later time, seeing as you're waking up with your murderer.

Welcome to the Locker.]

Not just death, a specific kind of death. With a template you inherited. Right?

[heroantagonist]

With a template that I, myself, and me alone, with nobody's help totally came up with.

[...]

Okay, Chuckie helped. A little.

[onlyyoucan]

We'll deal with him later. He must've done it before if he gave it to you, unless he's just seen it.

[heroantagonist]

Eh, you know pirates. Always talking about legends and stories of more treasure than they'd ever need.

Probably just wasn't good enough to get it so he needed a better pirate.

[onlyyoucan]

You just said he didn't have a body at first. That he got more solid later before eventually stealing yours when you died. How could he open a treasure without a body?

[Wait --]

Have you seen this vault?

[heroantagonist]

Uhhhh, no? Usually they're, uh, hidden?

[...]

Come to think of it, he was feeling a lot stronger after a while.

this time it's not a gagtag

[Oh goddammit-]

Magic beans, man.

[johnny got fucking played, to the surprise of exactly one person]

[onlyyoucan]

So what he really wanted was power for himself, and you were just dragged into it thinking you were masterminding it.

[conceivesfrenzy]

Pretty impressive, if you ask me. Even if this guy is an absolute loser.

[ MAN...... she got so hooked into the vault stuff that she was willing to overlook everything else.... ]
