So, there's soon to be a gala at a nice little museum in Key West, Florida, where a very dear friend of mine works, this gala is to celebrate the opening of an interactive exhibit that follows along with our recent quest to find Shipwreck Island, they've even rebuilt one of the ship's decks inside!

It's taken quite a bit of planning, and our dear Anne is proud of it, she says that even though the quest wasn't much of a success, this alone makes it worth the trip. It's been rather a while since I've had reason to attend such a to-do as a museum opening, and though Anne and Bill both assure me that things will go fine, I can't shake the old paranoia.

Ah well, I'll make the most of it I suppose, always do.

	Vampire what's also a pirate. Or pirate what's also a vampire, depending on how you look at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's a vampire? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:03 pm UTC (link)
	Uh, demon of sorts, though I've never considered myself as such, even on my worst days. Creature what's gone through death and come out on the other side, naturally immortal and feeding off the blood of the living to survive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	Huh. I'm immortal because I'm not from this world. If I went home, I'd age normally. That blood thing sounds like a pain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It can be, but it's not all bad, not since we figured out that we can bottle it along with enough alcohol to keep it from turning, doesn't keep forever of course, but long enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Heh. That probably weirded people out at first. Kind of like the time I took a sword to the belly, fell down, then got up five minutes later. I was kind of irritated. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't tend to travel with people who don't know, and when we did it was easy enough to keep hidden, I did it for years. Aye, though sometimes the fear in their eyes seeing you apparently unharmed after a thing like that makes it all worth it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	Everybody's got their thing. Me? I don't drink. Even where I'm from, people thought it was weird that I'm a pirate who doesn't drink. Oh, absolutely. When you're one of two people walking away from a battle because a meteor fell, some jaws drop. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:22 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, that is a mite odd, but our dear Anne's Mary didn't either, not after the Vanity was captured, at least not so far as I know, and Anne herself doesn't drink unless it's a celebration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Maybe we girls are just smarter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:26 pm UTC (link)
	Now that I wouldn't doubt. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	So. Are all the boats here wind-based, or is there one with a magic engine lurking around? Please, please tell me there is. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	Don't know about magical engines, most of the engines I've seen on boats are fuel powered in some fashion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	Fuel. Magic's the best fuel there is. Looks like I'll have to learn your way. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:34 pm UTC (link)
	Well, my way is by wind, but you'll be lucky to find a boat what uses sails anymore. Gone to antiquity they have. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm a pirate. I think I can find something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:38 pm UTC (link)
	Aye, and a lady pirate at that, you've got wiles on your side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:42 pm UTC (link)
	Wiles? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:43 pm UTC (link)
	Feminine wiles. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:45 pm UTC (link)
	A good kick in the shin works better than those. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:47 pm UTC (link)
	You'd get on quite well with our Anne, she's always said that you get better results with a wink and a two-by-four than with a wink alone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:48 pm UTC (link)
	I agree, except for the part about the winking. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:50 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly I don't recall Anne doing much of that either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	I like her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	You should come to the gala, she'll be there, works at the museum after all, and she's the one who was behind putting the exhibit together. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:55 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds fun. I'll be there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	vampirate_jack 2008-09-07 08:58 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful! [address of the Pirate Soul museum] Next Friday, the 19th, starts at seven, I'll make sure you're on the guest list. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ex_immortalc271 2008-09-07 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Thanks. See you then. (Reply to this) (Parent)
