Aboard the Rum Cask

[Chloriosus]

Kastron did not want to stay idle, so he jumped onto whoever it was down there as hard as he could (which wasn't very hard considering he had been shivering under the bed not ten minutes ago, and helped Eldor give whoever was down there a thorough beating. "Whap them harder!", he shouted out at Eldor. "Wait no don't break the mop stick!", he shouted quickly.

[wingfeather]

Eldor stopped, ''true, this is a rather fine mop stick,'' he agreed.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron was in his element now, and began raining blows upon whoever was down there. "Not only that.", he said between being tripped by the squirming figure, "It is also a very good weapon, and it bears the safety of Aunt Pessilys. Whoever breaks it bears the consequences. Have I ever told you,", he added, "the tragedy of the sailor who broke our OLD mopstick?"

[wingfeather]

''No, what happened,'' Eldor asked leaning against the mop stick completely forgetting about their now unconscious victim.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron sighed. Apparently he had forgotten to tell Eldor that very important piece of historical information. “You do t want to know.”,he said in a rather exaggerated voice. “But I’ll tell you later anyway. Here’s a hint, it didn’t go so well for him, so you better make sure that mop stick doesn’t die!”

[wingfeather]

Eldor nodded with grave undestanding, ''I'll take good care of it,'' he said with due reverence.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron nodded. "It is a worthy mop.", he said, almost as if in a trance, then quickly breaking it, continuing to torment whoever was under the bed sheet with the bucket over their head. It occurred to him that he might see who was under there, and he slightly lifted the sheet, only to gulp and quickly put the sheet and bucket back down, for under that sheet, mad as muttonbutt, was none other than...

[wingfeather]

(Not fair)

Captain Edgewood!

[Chloriosus]

Kastron quickly held the sheet an bucket on as hard as he could. "T'is my father!", he hissed. "Make good use of the mop stick, cut all costs! Never mind if it breaks, just use it, and for the sake of our own skins, USE IT GOOD!"

[wingfeather]

Eldor nodded, in full understanding, and began barraging the captain with the mop stick, hoping that under no circumstances would it break.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron, in full desperation of the situation extracted his spare bottle from under the bed and pulled the bucket of his fathers head, then proceeded to smash the glass bottle over his fater's head, causing the bottle to be reduced to splinters, leaving quite a number of them in Kastron's own hand. Unfortunately, his troubles were wasted, for although he didn't always look it, Captain Edgewood had seen quite the adventures in his day, and didn't pass out from the bottle. Instead, he made a grab for the neck of his frantic son,and tried to shake him, which was a rather hard thing to do considering Eldor's effective mopstick slinging abilities.

[wingfeather]

But Eldor suddenly felt he was holding a stick only half the weight it was, he broke it.

[Chloriosus]

Kastron, still squirming in his father's grip reached behind him and pulled the bucket back over his father's head. Breathing heavily , he attempted to roll a ways off, when he heard a strange snapping sound, and was hit in the head by the broken off half of the destructed mop stick. His vision momentarily flickered. "Oh, by the-", he didn't get to finish, as the captain stood up to full hight, still with the sheet and bucket on his head, for he could not get them off. "Not good.", Kastron noticed quietly, before his father started chasing the two boys blindl across the room, tripping over the bed, upsetting the small table in the room, an spiling a number of paints.

[wingfeather]

Eldor sprinted out of the captain's way, ''not again,'' he mourned.

[Chloriosus]

“At least he can’t see this time.”, Kastron groaned after crashing unceremoniously against the wall. “Although he didn’t seem to be seeing so well last time either, come to think of it.” He dodged his father, who also crashed against the wall.
