  1. 2014-10-25 18:26:05 Ugolino: Witches at sea
  2. 2014-10-25 18:26:10 Ugolino: preying on ships
  3. 2014-10-25 18:26:18 SleepyCrasian: Mmm... your population is still reallllllllly small.
  4. 2014-10-25 18:26:26 Ugolino: Because why wouldn't Kyubey contract coastal girls?
  5. 2014-10-25 18:26:32 SleepyCrasian: Youma at Sea works better, especially if the Meguca are going to be in battle with said pirates.
  6. 2014-10-25 18:26:33 Ugolino: Well more competition :p
  7. 2014-10-25 18:26:35 Ugolino: Yes :P
  8. 2014-10-25 18:26:51 SleepyCrasian: The uh... other question would be, what happens to girls who are defeated in battle.
  9. 2014-10-25 18:27:10 SleepyCrasian: While on the one hand, I would *hope* that pirates are at least civilized enough to just kill them....
  10. 2014-10-25 18:27:12 CannonGerbil: umm, parley?
  11. 2014-10-25 18:27:16 Schwer-Muta: They get chucked overboard where do you think the Sea Witches come from :V
  12. 2014-10-25 18:27:18 EtchedSteel: ^^
  13. 2014-10-25 18:27:22 Ugolino: Go for Pirates of Carribean more than historical accuracy?
  14. 2014-10-25 18:27:40 Ugolino: Muta: Toss the gem overboard?
  15. 2014-10-25 18:27:47 Ugolino: Then toss the body later
  16. 2014-10-25 18:28:34 Ugolino: heh superstition about the meguca captains
  17. 2014-10-25 18:28:39 Ugolino: and sea witches has a nice ring to it
  18. 2014-10-25 18:29:21 SleepyCrasian: Yeah... we'd have to Caribbean that. Make it a little Lighter and Fluffier.
  19. 2014-10-25 18:29:32 Sightedjt: the meguca code
  20. 2014-10-25 18:29:40 SleepyCrasian: ^Hehehehe
  21. 2014-10-25 18:29:42 Ugolino: Yeah, Carribean it all the way
  22. 2014-10-25 18:30:17 Ugolino: But yeah >sirens and witches
  23. 2014-10-25 18:30:23 sdjsdj: He, you know that story that after Blackbeard got shot twenty times, and decapitated, and chucked overboard, he was still swimming? Obviously meguca. :V
  24. 2014-10-25 18:30:24 SleepyCrasian: Fair enough then
  25. 2014-10-25 18:30:39 Ugolino: MEGUCA BLACKBEARD. THE PRECURSOR TO MAMI HAIR LOOPIES.
  26. 2014-10-25 18:30:41 sdjsdj: *Hey
  27. 2014-10-25 18:30:46 Sightedjt: meguca blackbeard
  28. 2014-10-25 18:30:49 Sightedjt: glorious
  29. 2014-10-25 18:34:13 Ugolino: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailors%27_superstitions#Klabautermann
  30. 2014-10-25 18:34:57 Ugolino: "In Trinidad and Tobago, sea-dwelling mer-men "were known to grant a wish, transform mediocrity into genius and confer wealth and power."[22]"
  31. 2014-10-25 18:35:01 Ugolino: Bunnycat. Stop that.
  32. 2014-10-25 18:35:40 Ugolino: Mermaids appear in British folklore as unlucky omens, both foretelling disaster and provoking it...Mermaids can also be a sign of approaching rough weather,[24] and some have been described as monstrous in size, up to 2,000 feet (610 m).[23]
  33. 2014-10-25 18:35:40 EtchedSteel: ^
  34. 2014-10-25 18:35:46 Ugolino: hehehehehehe
  35. 2014-10-25 18:36:05 EtchedSteel: @Schwer >:|
  36. 2014-10-25 18:36:35 EtchedSteel: So oktavia would do a cameo hehehee
  37. 2014-10-25 18:37:01 Sightedjt: heh
  38. 2014-10-25 18:37:07 Ugolino: What do you do with a drunken meguca~
  39. 2014-10-25 18:37:34 SleepyCrasian: @Schwer: And now it's "DOXX THE WITCHES" and "GAMERS ARE MURDERERS". Wut.
  40. 2014-10-25 18:38:04 SleepyCrasian: @Ugo: What do you do with a drunken meguca, what do you do with a drunken meguca, what do you do with a drunken meguca ER-LIE IN DA MORRRRNIN'
  41. 2014-10-25 18:38:08 Ugolino: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urV8MIcLDFk :D
  42. 2014-10-25 18:38:28 Ugolino: TOSS HER GEM IN A BAG AND THROW IT OVERRRR
  43. 2014-10-25 18:38:41 Ugolino: TOSS HER GEM IN A BAG AND THROW IT OVERRRR EARLYY IN THE MORNINGGGGGG
  44. 2014-10-25 18:39:10 Ugolino: FEED HER TO THE HUNGRY WITCHES FOR DINNERRRRR EARLLY IN THE MORNINGGG
  45. 2014-10-25 18:39:45 Ugolino: heh...pirateguca would be one setting where compass would actually be a viable 'weapon'
  46. 2014-10-25 18:44:56 Ugolino: Hmmm. Witches in ports.
  47. 2014-10-25 18:45:30 SleepyCrasian: The Kraken is like the Megucabbean equivalent to Walpurgisnacht?
  48. 2014-10-25 18:45:53 EtchedSteel: >Walks into a bar
  49. 2014-10-25 18:45:57 SleepyCrasian: "Drink up, m'ladies, we've got a long fight ahead'a us, an' make no mistake!"
  50. 2014-10-25 18:45:58 EtchedSteel: >Adquire cheap rum
  51. 2014-10-25 18:45:59 Ugolino: All the girls who witched out at sea, drifting in the currents...eventually fusing when the tides bring their barriers together :D
  52. 2014-10-25 18:46:04 EtchedSteel: >Bar fight
  53. 2014-10-25 18:46:19 Ugolino: For ports and Witch kisses...I'm thinking fire.
  54. 2014-10-25 18:46:38 sdjsdj: Maybe a few different varieties of mishap, not necessarily /magical/, still result in supernatural badness? Like ... mutiny gone horribly wrong? Some asshole kills an albatross? Entire crew wiped out by disease? Rigging broken by a storm, can't be fixed before the water runs out? You get a haunting, a malevolent spirit, a full-blown ghost ship, something along those lines.
  55. 2014-10-25 18:47:00 Ugolino: ohhh ghost ships
  56. 2014-10-25 18:47:17 Ugolino: Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
  57. 2014-10-25 18:47:18 Ugolino: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Elmo%27s_fire
  58. 2014-10-25 18:48:25 EtchedSteel: Random thought: Bermuda triangle is where the skadi-level witches are.
  59. 2014-10-25 18:48:34 SleepyCrasian: The Oceans are just epic for this if you make some initial handwaving.
  60. 2014-10-25 18:48:49 Ugolino: Actually scarity of grief seeds is a self-solving problem for meguca
  61. 2014-10-25 18:49:04 Ugolino: >Girl miscalculates how many seeds she'll need for a long voyage
  62. 2014-10-25 18:49:07 SleepyCrasian: "We're out of seeds. Which one of us is gonna witch out?"
  63. 2014-10-25 18:49:19 SleepyCrasian: "We'll draw straws."
  64. 2014-10-25 18:49:29 Ugolino: >jumps overboard in despair
  65. 2014-10-25 18:49:34 Ugolino: >another oceanbound witch
  66. 2014-10-25 18:49:41 Sightedjt: RELEASE THE KRAKEN
  67. 2014-10-25 18:49:50 Sightedjt: (Aka release the wpn)
  68. 2014-10-25 18:49:54 Ugolino: Meguca ship crews are inadvertently witchbait.
  69. 2014-10-25 18:50:05 Ugolino: Since they're the only people around for miles and miles
  70. 2014-10-25 18:50:05 EtchedSteel: go to sleep krekian :P
  71. 2014-10-25 18:50:10 sdjsdj: Meguca Captain Ahab hunts WN. :V
  72. 2014-10-25 18:50:12 Ugolino: Their ships are going to be witch _magnets_
  73. 2014-10-25 18:50:15 Ugolino: Snrk.
  74. 2014-10-25 18:50:19 Ugolino: THE WHITE WITCH
  75. 2014-10-25 18:50:20 Sightedjt: where the sailors like
  76. 2014-10-25 18:50:21 Ugolino: THERE SHE IS
  77. 2014-10-25 18:50:29 Sightedjt: step overboard when becalmed
  78. 2014-10-25 18:50:31 SleepyCrasian: @Sdj: I SMILE AT THEE SMILING WHALEEEEE
  79. 2014-10-25 18:50:33 Sightedjt: the sorta sea madness
  80. 2014-10-25 18:50:35 Ugolino: HARD TO PORT, DAMN YE ALL FOR A PACK OF COWARDS!
  81. 2014-10-25 18:50:36 Sightedjt: - witch kiss
  82. 2014-10-25 18:51:05 EtchedSteel: "Ugolino: THE WHITE WITCH. THERE SHE IS"
  83. 2014-10-25 18:51:07 SleepyCrasian: But WITCH FIGHTS WITH ENTIRE BATTERIES OF ARTILLERY
  84. 2014-10-25 18:51:09 SleepyCrasian: OH MY GOD
  85. 2014-10-25 18:51:16 EtchedSteel: SPLIT YOUR LUNGS IN BLOOD AND THUNDER
  86. 2014-10-25 18:51:27 Sightedjt: FIRE BROADSIDE AT THE WITCH
  87. 2014-10-25 18:52:02 EtchedSteel: BREAK YOUR BACKS AND CRACK YOUR OARS GIRLS
  88. 2014-10-25 18:52:03 SleepyCrasian: "PREPARE TO BROADSIDE," shouted Captain Abigail over the spirit's howls, her hands flickering with magic as she jerked our galley out of a blow sure to have ripped us in two.
  89. 2014-10-25 18:52:13 Ugolino: There's a joke about a captain's daughter meguca using a cat'o'ninetails as her weapon
  90. 2014-10-25 18:52:15 Ugolino: snrk
  91. 2014-10-25 18:52:24 Ugolino: hmmm spyglass as meguca weapon...
  92. 2014-10-25 18:52:26 Sightedjt: wind, weather control, water control meguca
  93. 2014-10-25 18:52:28 Sightedjt: are the worst
  94. 2014-10-25 18:52:35 Sightedjt: call down a storm upon their enemies
  95. 2014-10-25 18:52:43 EtchedSteel: @Krekian Is about if June gonna stick together or try for a separate path.
  96. 2014-10-25 18:52:46 Ugolino: I could see a lot of PtV megucas
  97. 2014-10-25 18:52:52 Ugolino: who wished to never lose their way at sea...
  98. 2014-10-25 18:53:02 EtchedSteel: @Krek So far, all the sparklies agrees with stick together
  99. 2014-10-25 18:53:15 Ugolino: Or to help her Captain father track down the mysterious pirate he's been tasked with hunting...
  100. 2014-10-25 18:53:20 SleepyCrasian: "READYYYYYYYY." The crew stood by their guns, terrified but holding steady. With Captain Abigail at the helm, we could never fail. The ship rolled back towards the monster....
  101. 2014-10-25 18:53:22 SleepyCrasian: "FIRE!!"
  102. 2014-10-25 18:53:56 Krekian: pirategucas woo. cras. start a quest.
  103. 2014-10-25 18:53:57 EtchedSteel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGyPuey-1Jw
  104. 2014-10-25 18:54:08 EtchedSteel: relevant for the discussion of pirateguca
  105. 2014-10-25 18:54:38 Sightedjt: each player is one part of the ships crew
  106. 2014-10-25 18:54:45 Sightedjt: or quest where we control the crew
  107. 2014-10-25 18:55:10 sdjsdj: What're we talking here? Pirate, privateer, navy?
  108. 2014-10-25 18:55:27 Ugolino: "The Captain's crazy and the less said about her dress the better, but who's going to argue with a witch with black magic?"
  109. 2014-10-25 18:55:35 Ugolino: Sdj: all of the above :V
  110. 2014-10-25 18:55:58 Sightedjt: ALL meguca crew or normals wity some magic?
  111. 2014-10-25 18:55:59 sdjsdj: "If we don't get caught, it's legal, right?" :V
  112. 2014-10-25 18:56:07 Ugolino: Pirates who use magic to get the crew to do whatever she wants, privateer who has a puppet captain for appearances, and the Navy to deal with the first
  113. 2014-10-25 18:56:12 Sightedjt: some magical girls
  114. 2014-10-25 18:56:22 Sightedjt: Hell
  115. 2014-10-25 18:56:24 Ugolino: Sighted: megucas effectively in charge
  116. 2014-10-25 18:56:26 Sightedjt: ooh
  117. 2014-10-25 18:56:31 Sightedjt: Idea
  118. 2014-10-25 18:56:36 Ugolino: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_piracy
  119. 2014-10-25 18:56:52 SleepyCrasian: "While it is typically not in the tradition of Her Majesty's Royal Navy to accept female sailors into the crew, it cannot be denied that Ms. Portman's unique ability are an asset to this vessel of extreme importance."
  120. 2014-10-25 18:56:56 Sightedjt: blackbeards ship or whatever, or like
  121. 2014-10-25 18:56:59 Sightedjt: uhhhh
  122. 2014-10-25 18:57:11 Sightedjt: the flying dutchman
  123. 2014-10-25 18:57:20 Ugolino: There is no historical record of Bonny's release or of her execution. This has fed speculation that her father ransomed her; that she might have returned to her husband, or even that she resumed a life of piracy under a new identity.[13]
  124. 2014-10-25 18:57:21 Sightedjt: is just a ship with a handful of crew megucas
  125. 2014-10-25 18:57:31 Sightedjt: as the only crew
  126. 2014-10-25 18:57:35 Ugolino: "...HOW DID SHE GET OUT OF A LOCKED CELL?"
  127. 2014-10-25 18:58:01 Sightedjt: so like, 5-6 meguca's as the only crew on a ship using magic to control it
  128. 2014-10-25 18:58:11 Sightedjt: blackbeard with weather control as her power
  129. 2014-10-25 18:58:18 Sightedjt: call down a storm on her prey
  130. 2014-10-25 18:58:24 SleepyCrasian: "Magic, yah floppy sausages." *drops from ceiling* *kills everyone*
  131. 2014-10-25 18:58:33 Sightedjt: fire powers guca controlling the cannons
  132. 2014-10-25 18:59:02 sdjsdj: Weather control would be a gamechanger. Never get becalmed, never suffer a storm, always attack with a favorable wind.
  133. 2014-10-25 18:59:03 Ugolino: Blackbeard tying flaming candles into her braids?
  134. 2014-10-25 18:59:09 SleepyCrasian: @Sighted: Well, the sails are some hella complex shit that you want more than one person on purely because of scale.
  135. 2014-10-25 18:59:27 SleepyCrasian: I'd get a dozen men for the sails and two meguca.
  136. 2014-10-25 18:59:53 Sightedjt: MAGIC
  137. 2014-10-25 19:00:00 Sightedjt: I like the idea of the proper mythical ships
  138. 2014-10-25 19:00:05 Sightedjt: being ALL meguca
  139. 2014-10-25 19:00:11 Ugolino: Or a more powerful meguca might be the only one aboard and strongarming the meatshields/crew into doing her bidding.
  140. 2014-10-25 19:00:14 Ugolino: heh
  141. 2014-10-25 19:00:16 SleepyCrasian: You need three men to a cannon and each galley had about 24, so I would get 2 meguca (one for each side) and 36 gunners
  142. 2014-10-25 19:00:22 Ugolino: >Cannons
  143. 2014-10-25 19:00:24 Ugolino: >Not just magic
  144. 2014-10-25 19:00:26 Sightedjt: yeah
  145. 2014-10-25 19:00:33 Sightedjt: gears- MAGIC
  146. 2014-10-25 19:00:42 SleepyCrasian: And then command crew of a meguca and 8 mortals.
  147. 2014-10-25 19:00:43 Sightedjt: we can throw realism partly out the way
  148. 2014-10-25 19:00:54 SleepyCrasian: Well fair fair, I tend to nerf me megucas
  149. 2014-10-25 19:00:54 EtchedSteel: ^
  150. 2014-10-25 19:00:55 Ugolino: >Stash of grief seeds on a remote island
  151. 2014-10-25 19:00:56 Ugolino: :D
  152. 2014-10-25 19:01:03 EtchedSteel: snrk.
  153. 2014-10-25 19:01:09 SleepyCrasian: Oh oh oh
  154. 2014-10-25 19:01:16 EtchedSteel: turtles
  155. 2014-10-25 19:01:28 Sightedjt: Gears- we're pirates of the carribeaning it up already
  156. 2014-10-25 19:01:31 Ugolino: MAGICAL SUBMARINESSSSSSSSSSS
  157. 2014-10-25 19:01:40 Sightedjt: theres no meguca nerfing going on here
  158. 2014-10-25 19:01:42 sdjsdj: > Massive race to retrieve them before they go from 'valuable' to 'oh god no' :V
  159. 2014-10-25 19:01:47 Sightedjt: we're going full on stronkgucas
  160. 2014-10-25 19:01:53 Ugolino: >The joke is that it's been years already
  161. 2014-10-25 19:01:57 SleepyCrasian: "You sacked Nassau Port without firing a shot!" shouted Elizabeth Swann, waving her arms at Jacquelyn Sparrow in animated frustration. "Are you the Pirate Queen I've read about or not?! What did you do when you were here last?!"
  162. 2014-10-25 19:02:07 EtchedSteel: "PART OF THE CREW"
  163. 2014-10-25 19:02:08 Krekian: well there's your plot
  164. 2014-10-25 19:02:11 EtchedSteel: "PART OF THE SHIP"
  165. 2014-10-25 19:02:12 SleepyCrasian: Jacquelyn turned a tired and annoyed eye to Elizabeth.
  166. 2014-10-25 19:02:18 Ugolino: hehehehe
  167. 2014-10-25 19:02:31 Krekian: adventure to find a mythical cache of grif sids.
  168. 2014-10-25 19:02:38 Sightedjt: the flying dutchman and blackdrills ships are just megucas
  169. 2014-10-25 19:02:41 Sightedjt: no mundanes
  170. 2014-10-25 19:03:06 Ugolino: Kyubey'd probably get referring to as a "familiar", maybe?
  171. 2014-10-25 19:03:10 Ugolino: *referred
  172. 2014-10-25 19:03:11 Sightedjt: just really powerful meguca teams controlling the entire ship
  173. 2014-10-25 19:03:14 Krekian: she who finds the cache need not worry about grief ever again.
  174. 2014-10-25 19:03:17 Ugolino: heh
  175. 2014-10-25 19:03:18 EtchedSteel: like the parrot, aye
  176. 2014-10-25 19:03:26 Ugolino: parrotbey :V
  177. 2014-10-25 19:03:27 SleepyCrasian: "Lass, the last time I was here, the rumrunners were usin' this island as a stash for their merchandise. I bargained with them when they showed up next for safe passage to the nearest port, and, from the looks of things, they have been out of business for a while now. Probably have your bloody friend Norrin'ton to thank for that."
  178. 2014-10-25 19:03:29 Sightedjt: peg leg meguca
  179. 2014-10-25 19:03:37 Sightedjt: Sea turtles
  180. 2014-10-25 19:03:55 Ugolino: heh
  181. 2014-10-25 19:04:02 Ugolino: >ship runs aground
  182. 2014-10-25 19:04:05 Ugolino: >in the middle of the ocean
  183. 2014-10-25 19:04:06 Sightedjt: Of course, if its the adventure to find where blackdrills has stashed her seed stockpile
  184. 2014-10-25 19:04:10 Ugolino: "Prepare for boarders!"
  185. 2014-10-25 19:04:19 SleepyCrasian: "...so the Great Pirate Queen Jacquelyn Sparrow spent three days, lying on a beach, drinking rum, before being accidentally rescued."
  186. 2014-10-25 19:04:29 Sightedjt: then the problem comes
  187. 2014-10-25 19:04:36 sdjsdj: Setting'd probably be unfriendly enough without a hostile QB, TBH
  188. 2014-10-25 19:04:46 Ugolino: ...Magically enchanted treasure chests?
  189. 2014-10-25 19:04:51 Sightedjt: what happens when blackdrills herself hears youre after her loot
  190. 2014-10-25 19:04:57 SleepyCrasian: Jacquelyn paused as she carried an armful of bottles out of a hidden cellar. "...Yup!" she said cheerfully. She held out a bottle. "Rum?"
  191. 2014-10-25 19:04:59 Ugolino: ...So we're talking post-series with grief cubes? But then we lose the FUN of Witches
  192. 2014-10-25 19:05:20 Ugolino: Pirategucas
  193. 2014-10-25 19:05:22 SleepyCrasian: @Ugo: But at the same time, FULL BROADSIDE
  194. 2014-10-25 19:05:39 Winged Knight: If pirateguca, then how to they get witches?
  195. 2014-10-25 19:05:39 SleepyCrasian: We can never lose fun if we can access FULL BROADSIDE
  196. 2014-10-25 19:05:45 SleepyCrasian: Heya Winged
  197. 2014-10-25 19:05:45 Winged Knight: Seawitchs?
  198. 2014-10-25 19:05:46 Krekian: AHOY WK.
  199. 2014-10-25 19:05:48 Winged Knight: Are they salty?
  200. 2014-10-25 19:05:49 EtchedSteel: yup
  201. 2014-10-25 19:05:51 CannonGerbil: tell me if you need more to work with, sighted
  202. 2014-10-25 19:05:51 Ugolino: Winged: yeah
  203. 2014-10-25 19:05:58 Ugolino: Any girl that doesn't set sail with enough seeds
  204. 2014-10-25 19:06:00 SleepyCrasian: @Winged: Salty Witches?
  205. 2014-10-25 19:06:01 Ugolino: wastes magic
  206. 2014-10-25 19:06:07 Ugolino: or just gets her gem tossed overboard
  207. 2014-10-25 19:06:10 Ugolino: is another sea witch
  208. 2014-10-25 19:06:25 Ugolino: and the unique thing about sea witches is that ships are going to be witch magnets
  209. 2014-10-25 19:06:32 Ugolino: as the only people around for miles
  210. 2014-10-25 19:06:38 SleepyCrasian: I propose that a crew of megucas draws straws to see who has to drown herself for the good of the ship.
  211. 2014-10-25 19:06:42 Ugolino: Snrk.
  212. 2014-10-25 19:06:53 SleepyCrasian: "...I'm sorry Mary."
  213. 2014-10-25 19:07:08 SleepyCrasian: "N-no... No it's... it's too soon. I haven't seen everything I wanted to see...."
  214. 2014-10-25 19:07:13 sdjsdj: Ships that've had someone witch aboard them? Caught up in the barrier, their crew all kissed or dead? That's where ghost ships come in ...
  215. 2014-10-25 19:07:19 Sightedjt: WALK THE PLANK
  216. 2014-10-25 19:07:26 Ugolino: *splash*
  217. 2014-10-25 19:07:30 Krekian: witch ships?
  218. 2014-10-25 19:07:33 SleepyCrasian: "Mary... I... what do you want for your last meal? We still have plenty of food for the crew, we can make you something special."
  219. 2014-10-25 19:07:34 Ugolino: ayuppp
  220. 2014-10-25 19:07:39 Krekian: barrier ships.
  221. 2014-10-25 19:07:55 Sightedjt: oooh
  222. 2014-10-25 19:07:59 Ugolino: Meguca uses magic to sail her ship underwater :V
  223. 2014-10-25 19:07:59 Sightedjt: the flying dutchman
  224. 2014-10-25 19:08:07 Sightedjt: is like
  225. 2014-10-25 19:08:18 Sightedjt: the flagship of a navy that became a witch ship
  226. 2014-10-25 19:08:23 sdjsdj: Heh. On the other hand, on a meguca pirate ship, keelhauling is a lot less deadly. :V
  227. 2014-10-25 19:08:25 Sightedjt: and its got a wpn class
  228. 2014-10-25 19:08:38 SleepyCrasian: So the interesting thing would be
  229. 2014-10-25 19:08:39 Sightedjt: as the thats taken it
  230. 2014-10-25 19:08:45 SleepyCrasian: Megucas probably make hella bank
  231. 2014-10-25 19:08:57 Ugolino: SDJ: Put the gem between the girl and the ship
  232. 2014-10-25 19:08:58 SleepyCrasian: But there are obviously risks that come with joining a Meguca Crew
  233. 2014-10-25 19:09:03 Krekian: solved the lack of witch problem. Abandoned ghost ships, just floating in the sea. Rescuers get pulled in to the barrier and eaten.
  234. 2014-10-25 19:09:10 Ugolino: Ehh krek
  235. 2014-10-25 19:09:11 SleepyCrasian: How does Pirate Lore change to reflect this?
  236. 2014-10-25 19:09:16 Ugolino: That too
  237. 2014-10-25 19:09:27 Krekian: hm?
  238. 2014-10-25 19:09:31 Ugolino: Crasian: even more legends of women pirates, superstitions...
  239. 2014-10-25 19:09:47 Sightedjt: people are fucking terrified of sirens and mermaids
  240. 2014-10-25 19:09:51 Ugolino: The thing I realized was that witch scarcity matters a bit less when your ship is literally a Witch magnet
  241. 2014-10-25 19:09:53 Sightedjt: as you dont know if its a meguca
  242. 2014-10-25 19:09:55 Sightedjt: or a witch
  243. 2014-10-25 19:09:59 Ugolino: as the only people around
  244. 2014-10-25 19:09:59 Ugolino: heh
  245. 2014-10-25 19:10:20 Ugolino: Well the legends'd be of witches probably, while most megucas get their own set of rumors
  246. 2014-10-25 19:10:28 Krekian: yeah, but witches are inside barriers
  247. 2014-10-25 19:10:49 Ugolino: Rescued survivors spreading rumors?
  248. 2014-10-25 19:11:01 EtchedSteel: mhmm
  249. 2014-10-25 19:11:02 Ugolino: People finding the aftermath of witches on ghost ships?
  250. 2014-10-25 19:11:15 Krekian: also etched you are shinji now.
  251. 2014-10-25 19:11:20 Winged Knight: You could have some people with just enough spiritual sensitivity to get an impression of what is inside the Barriers.
  252. 2014-10-25 19:11:29 Winged Knight: So they see shapes and impressions within terrible forms.
  253. 2014-10-25 19:11:32 Winged Knight: *Storms
  254. 2014-10-25 19:11:36 EtchedSteel: @Krek yes
  255. 2014-10-25 19:11:45 Sightedjt: nice WK
  256. 2014-10-25 19:11:52 Ugolino: "Aye, we found her. A ship of the line, every sail and flag still in place. The crew, though...Every last man of them was gone. We didn't stick around, but from what we saw they just...got up. Went up topside, and stepped overboard.
  257. 2014-10-25 19:11:58 Winged Knight: These people spread rumors, and these rumors are taken as fact after a while.
  258. 2014-10-25 19:12:08 Ugolino: The work of the Devil himself, most like."
  259. 2014-10-25 19:12:22 Ugolino: Or even just a sense of despair?
  260. 2014-10-25 19:12:28 Ugolino: ohhhh witches causing storms :D
  261. 2014-10-25 19:12:33 Winged Knight: That could work too, Ugo.
  262. 2014-10-25 19:12:41 Ugolino: charybdis :V
  263. 2014-10-25 19:12:44 Winged Knight: I figure storms are what barriers will look like on the outside.
  264. 2014-10-25 19:12:46 EtchedSteel: *nodsnods*
  265. 2014-10-25 19:13:09 Winged Knight: For the more powerful witches, at least.
  266. 2014-10-25 19:13:23 Ugolino: "Twas a clear, sunny day. Then the wind *stopped*. Been sailing twenty years, never seen the like. Then the screaming started..."
  267. 2014-10-25 19:14:02 SleepyCrasian: ...
  268. 2014-10-25 19:14:06 SleepyCrasian: Man that's just unsettling.
  269. 2014-10-25 19:14:06 Ugolino: So I'm guessing lots of witches in coastal areas
  270. 2014-10-25 19:14:17 Ugolino: Fewer, but much more powerful ones further out at sea
  271. 2014-10-25 19:14:25 EtchedSteel: The kraken!witch wil always have a massive storm announcing its presence.
  272. 2014-10-25 19:14:33 Krekian: witch shipsss.
  273. 2014-10-25 19:14:38 Ugolino: with the local kraken/walpgurgis lurking in the depths, growing stronger every time a witch is swept out to sea....
  274. 2014-10-25 19:15:02 Ugolino: I see the kraken as literally just made of witches swept out to the open sea
  275. 2014-10-25 19:15:20 EtchedSteel: If this is caribbean style, then there *must* be a world's end :P
  276. 2014-10-25 19:15:25 sdjsdj: If you get 'unlucky' ships, lots of accidents, lots of suicides, maybe they've got a familiar aboard, left over from a near miss with something much worse, slowly maturing into full-blown witchhood?
  277. 2014-10-25 19:15:27 Winged Knight: Towns wiki, of course, have the weakest witches.
  278. 2014-10-25 19:15:28 SleepyCrasian: At which point, tentacles are the least of your worries...
  279. 2014-10-25 19:15:29 Krekian: and when the barrier ships eventually collide, they coalesce into barrier-less sea borne monsters
  280. 2014-10-25 19:15:32 Ugolino: Well yeah
  281. 2014-10-25 19:15:45 Winged Knight: *Wiki? the fuck did that come from?
  282. 2014-10-25 19:15:46 Ugolino: that'd probably be an early witch in port
  283. 2014-10-25 19:15:56 Ugolino: Driving crews to murder and arson
  284. 2014-10-25 19:16:00 SleepyCrasian: Ugo...
  285. 2014-10-25 19:16:01 Ugolino: setting ships aflame
  286. 2014-10-25 19:16:03 SleepyCrasian: Ugoooooooo....
  287. 2014-10-25 19:16:04 EtchedSteel: @WK *shrugs*
  288. 2014-10-25 19:16:07 Ugolino: noooooooooooo
  289. 2014-10-25 19:16:07 Winged Knight: *Town witches
  290. 2014-10-25 19:16:36 Winged Knight: Would there be normals on a ship?
  291. 2014-10-25 19:16:46 Ugolino: Most crews are probably one or two megucas
  292. 2014-10-25 19:16:47 Sightedjt: NOOOOOOW
  293. 2014-10-25 19:16:54 Ugolino: strongarming the mortals to do their bidding
  294. 2014-10-25 19:16:57 Winged Knight: I figure there would be, in order to help run the ship while the guca fight. Especially if there are storms.
  295. 2014-10-25 19:17:07 Ugolino: Or in the case of Navy ones, the ship "mascot" is actually running the show.
  296. 2014-10-25 19:17:10 Sightedjt: and the most famed ones like blackdrills' crew is just like 6 meguca
  297. 2014-10-25 19:17:18 Sightedjt: controlling the entire ship by magic
  298. 2014-10-25 19:17:21 Krekian: roll for rp/quest
  299. 2014-10-25 19:17:29 Winged Knight: This way you could make guca kind of like a big, open secret amongst the seafaring folk.
  300. 2014-10-25 19:17:30 SleepyCrasian: Ugo/Winged: Well, or you get the High Risk High Reward types who want to make bank and are okay with potential of Horrible Death by joining a meguca crew.
  301. 2014-10-25 19:17:42 Winged Knight: You can travel the seas without a magic woman if you want, but it's risky.
  302. 2014-10-25 19:17:52 Krekian: aslo, cyber post.
  303. 2014-10-25 19:17:54 SleepyCrasian: Oooooh, yeah, that could be a thing.
  304. 2014-10-25 19:17:58 Ugolino: Crasian: yeah
  305. 2014-10-25 19:17:59 EtchedSteel: Ships = witch magnets
  306. 2014-10-25 19:18:04 Ugolino: this setting's tailor-made for ruthless megucas
  307. 2014-10-25 19:18:05 SleepyCrasian: Meguca who rent their services to civilian crews
  308. 2014-10-25 19:18:10 Sightedjt: are you writing this odwn ugo
  309. 2014-10-25 19:18:16 Sightedjt: DO IT UGO
  310. 2014-10-25 19:18:21 Ugolino: I'll write it down laterrrrrrrr
  311. 2014-10-25 19:18:28 Sightedjt: NOOOOW
  312. 2014-10-25 19:18:30 Winged Knight: You can also have some in the navy, doing their duty for king/Queen and country.
  313. 2014-10-25 19:18:33 SleepyCrasian: "Aye, I'll come along with ya from Jamaica to Carolina, but it's a long voyage, so it'll cost ya'."
  314. 2014-10-25 19:18:36 Sightedjt: Its more work if you do it later
  315. 2014-10-25 19:18:41 Ugolino: Of course we HAVE to get polly olivers
  316. 2014-10-25 19:19:14 SleepyCrasian: No more talking until Ugo gets this shit writanned
  317. 2014-10-25 19:19:20 SleepyCrasian: I hereby declare it.
  318. 2014-10-25 19:19:20 Ugolino: :(
  319. 2014-10-25 19:19:21 sdjsdj: Meguca status probably varies with crew. Status might be 'captain' or 'good-luck charm' or 'hired mission specialist' or just 'preternaturally brilliant [navigator/boarder/doctor]'
  320. 2014-10-25 19:19:22 SleepyCrasian: Go Ugo.
  321. 2014-10-25 19:19:31 Winged Knight: Glad I could help a bit. World building is fun!
  322. 2014-10-25 19:19:34 Ugolino: hehehe
  323. 2014-10-25 19:21:20 Winged Knight: So, would landlubbers know much about this beyond vague rumor? Or would they know as much as the sailors? I figure the sailors would know more.
  324. 2014-10-25 19:21:29 Ugolino: Officially, they know nothing.
  325. 2014-10-25 19:21:42 Sightedjt: the sailors, they have their rumors
  326. 2014-10-25 19:22:01 Ugolino: Unofficially, there are certain girls you don't want to cross, the Navy crews don't like being on ships without a "mascot"...
  327. 2014-10-25 19:22:21 Winged Knight: "All those men… They just walked off their ships and into the ocean. Why?"
  328. 2014-10-25 19:22:35 Sightedjt: madness of the sea
  329. 2014-10-25 19:23:03 Winged Knight: "Because they didn't have someone like me. Probably didn't want to, or couldn't, pay the cost. A risk, that is. You can get by for years without one of us, maybe even your whole life, but every time you go out to see you're playing dice with the devil."
  330. 2014-10-25 19:23:18 Winged Knight: *sea
  331. 2014-10-25 19:23:36 SleepyCrasian: Ugo
  332. 2014-10-25 19:23:39 Ugolino: Black spot=witches kiss
  333. 2014-10-25 19:23:39 SleepyCrasian: If you refuse to develop this
  334. 2014-10-25 19:23:49 SleepyCrasian: Then you should declare it Rolz Property
  335. 2014-10-25 19:23:51 Sightedjt: oooh nice ugo
  336. 2014-10-25 19:25:08 Ugolino: "A ghost of the sea. The word usually refers to disembodied spirit, a ghost; a supernatural being, goblin or fairy. They haunt ships that have troubled pasts, such as mutinies or perhaps a ship that had a cruel master who was murdered or was beleived to be in league with the Devil."
  337. 2014-10-25 19:25:16 Winged Knight: The quote I made is to empathize that not every ship without a Meguca is doomed. Some can last quite a while, or their whole career, without one. After all, the sea is HUGE even with ships being witch magnets.
  338. 2014-10-25 19:25:28 Ugolino: " If the person's soul did not find rest, it was feared they would return from Davy Jones as a sea spright. This was a reason why some ships would not return to islands where men had been marooned or to waters where murderous mutinies occurred or men were thrown overboard."
  339. 2014-10-25 19:25:39 Ugolino: Yeah ships with megucas aren't a majority or even common
  340. 2014-10-25 19:25:48 Ugolino: Just enough for rumors, myths, and to be in demand
  341. 2014-10-25 19:25:54 Winged Knight: But they are the safest.
  342. 2014-10-25 19:26:00 EtchedSteel: @WK lady fortune must smile at you for that. But fortune doesn't favor fools.
  343. 2014-10-25 19:26:05 Ugolino: Big ocean after all
  344. 2014-10-25 19:26:13 Ugolino: and not all Witches are actively murderhunting ships
  345. 2014-10-25 19:26:20 Ugolino: Probably plenty in the depths
  346. 2014-10-25 19:26:24 Schwer-Muta: Being on a ship without a meguca is bad luck. Being on a ship with a meguca captain is the worst luck.
  347. 2014-10-25 19:26:24 Ugolino: Lurking~
  348. 2014-10-25 19:26:24 Winged Knight: Some are just wallowing in misery.
  349. 2014-10-25 19:26:45 Ugolino: heh fishing for Witches
  350. 2014-10-25 19:26:45 Ugolino: xD
  351. 2014-10-25 19:26:49 EtchedSteel: xD
  352. 2014-10-25 19:27:11 Winged Knight: However, the attacks should be common enough for there to be a steady demand for meguca.
  353. 2014-10-25 19:27:14 Ugolino: SEA SERPENT WITCH
  354. 2014-10-25 19:27:21 Ugolino: Well they don't need to be THAT common
  355. 2014-10-25 19:27:33 Ugolino: one ship disappearing every once in a while, the occasional ghost ship
  356. 2014-10-25 19:27:35 Schwer-Muta: It only takes one.
  357. 2014-10-25 19:27:43 Ugolino: that'd be plenty motivation for superstitious ship crews
  358. 2014-10-25 19:27:51 Winged Knight: I figure maybe one ship in twenty?
  359. 2014-10-25 19:28:14 Ugolino: One ship in every twenty lost at sea, even
  360. 2014-10-25 19:28:14 Winged Knight: After all, the seas are rough and many ships are lost even without witches during the age of sail.
  361. 2014-10-25 19:28:21 Ugolino: mhmm
  362. 2014-10-25 19:28:21 EtchedSteel: I say one in fifteen.
  363. 2014-10-25 19:28:26 Ugolino: Eh.
  364. 2014-10-25 19:28:44 Ugolino: They need to be infrequent enough not to make setting sail a death warrant or we're talking a shift in setting
  365. 2014-10-25 19:28:48 Winged Knight: So one in twenty, or fifteen, being attacked by witches isn't something captains are going to want to risk on a regular basis if they can afford it.
  366. 2014-10-25 19:28:54 Schwer-Muta: It's not like she wouldn't be an asset in mundane combat
  367. 2014-10-25 19:28:55 Ugolino: Just "every once in a while" would be enough
  368. 2014-10-25 19:29:30 Ugolino: Kyubey as ship's cat :V
  369. 2014-10-25 19:29:45 EtchedSteel: enough to make it a rumor, and the most paranoid captains takes the bet on getting pirate gucas.
  370. 2014-10-25 19:29:45 Ugolino: feed kyubey grief seeds and no harm will come to the ship
  371. 2014-10-25 19:29:45 Sightedjt: kek
  372. 2014-10-25 19:29:55 EtchedSteel: heh
  373. 2014-10-25 19:30:12 Winged Knight: I think we've got ourselves a game setting, folks.
  374. 2014-10-25 19:30:17 Ugolino: yay
  375. 2014-10-25 19:30:40 Winged Knight: Would all supernaturalness be the witches and guca, or would the depths hold other wonders and horrors?
  376. 2014-10-25 19:31:10 Winged Knight: Perhaps sea life that isn't supernatural in and of itself, but tainted and mutated from the ambient despair leaking off witches?
  377. 2014-10-25 19:31:24 Ugolino: Well, the pirate setting itself's >you're at sea and not sure where you're going
  378. 2014-10-25 19:31:28 Winged Knight: They're only faintly magical, but mostly physical and wracked with pain.
  379. 2014-10-25 19:31:40 Ugolino: ...Witch kissed whale.
  380. 2014-10-25 19:31:41 Ugolino: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
  381. 2014-10-25 19:31:41 Winged Knight: And, in pain, attack.
  382. 2014-10-25 19:31:58 Sightedjt: Ugo- moby dick
  383. 2014-10-25 19:32:05 Winged Knight: I wasn't talking witch kissed, more like they're just changed thanks to exposure to Grief.
  384. 2014-10-25 19:32:06 Sightedjt: SPLIT YOUR LUNGS etc etc
  385. 2014-10-25 19:32:08 Krekian: heh
  386. 2014-10-25 19:32:11 Ugolino: >Areas with dead sea life, sea birds flying in strange patterns....
  387. 2014-10-25 19:32:12 Ugolino: ah
  388. 2014-10-25 19:32:12 Ugolino: eh
  389. 2014-10-25 19:32:40 Ugolino: "Did that bird have two heads?"
  390. 2014-10-25 19:32:59 Ugolino: "I didn't tell you to shoot at it, you blind drunken fool!"
  391. 2014-10-25 19:33:09 Winged Knight: Something like that, though some would be dangerous.
  392. 2014-10-25 19:33:13 Ugolino: "Well, just fine and dandy, you've killed the...albatross?"
  393. 2014-10-25 19:33:35 Schwer-Muta: >Blinky
  394. 2014-10-25 19:33:46 Ugolino: Hmmm.
  395. 2014-10-25 19:33:52 tg: in Unsounded, the open sea is considered Hell because the Khert doesn't extend over it. Because the Khert is essentially made from the memories of everyone that's died, dying at sea is considered the worst fate possible because your soul just sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Forever.
  396. 2014-10-25 19:33:55 Ugolino: >meguca has to dive overboard to fight the Witch
  397. 2014-10-25 19:34:05 Winged Knight: Island witches. Witches resting on islands that ships frequently water at, picking off just a few crew with a kiss.
  398. 2014-10-25 19:34:14 Ugolino: mhmm
  399. 2014-10-25 19:34:20 Ugolino: Sounds like one of the early witches
  400. 2014-10-25 19:34:24 Ugolino: probably after the port witch
  401. 2014-10-25 19:34:48 Ugolino: heh tg sailor superstition?
  402. 2014-10-25 19:34:49 tg: Unsounded starts back up on Nov. 10 so excite
  403. 2014-10-25 19:34:50 Sightedjt: unrelated
  404. 2014-10-25 19:34:56 Sightedjt: ES- I find iy kinda funny
  405. 2014-10-25 19:34:59 Winged Knight: Island witches would be of the weaker variety, since they only take one or two from the ships.
  406. 2014-10-25 19:35:02 tg: No, it's actually a thing in-universe.
  407. 2014-10-25 19:35:04 Sightedjt: as val thinks that the groups a time bomb
  408. 2014-10-25 19:35:10 Ugolino: dying at sea by suicide means your soul gets eaten in sailor lore
  409. 2014-10-25 19:35:19 Sightedjt: when its actually somewhat stabilized
  410. 2014-10-25 19:35:27 Ugolino: tg yeah but I mean stealing that for the idea
  411. 2014-10-25 19:35:32 tg: yes
  412. 2014-10-25 19:35:33 Winged Knight: I'm looking forward to Unsounded as well.
  413. 2014-10-25 19:36:08 tg: A lot of countries in Unsounded think the ocean is understandably bad juju. Sailors are held in the lowest regard in Alderode, for example
  414. 2014-10-25 19:38:29 Ugolino: Also " stabbing a servant girl with a table knife" sounds like meguca material
  415. 2014-10-25 19:38:57 Ugolino: "Clisson butchered the crew of the ships she captured, leaving only a few sailors alive to tell the King that the Lioness of Brittany had struck again."
  416. 2014-10-25 19:40:13 Ugolino: Ann Bonny and Mary Read :V
  417. 2014-10-25 19:41:20 Winged Knight: So would this be a Quest, then?
  418. 2014-10-25 19:41:25 Winged Knight: Or an RP?
  419. 2014-10-25 19:41:28 Ugolino: I have no idea.
  420. 2014-10-25 19:41:34 Ugolino: It could work for either really
  421. 2014-10-25 19:41:36 Krekian: roll for rp/quest
  422. 2014-10-25 19:41:41 Ugolino: 1D2 => 2
  423. 2014-10-25 19:41:41 Winged Knight: Or maybe even just an original story.
  424. 2014-10-25 19:41:55 Krekian: ahhhh
  425. 2014-10-25 19:41:59 SleepyCrasian: mmmm
  426. 2014-10-25 19:42:04 Ugolino: Yeah RP runs into issues with "you're scattered all over the ocean"
  427. 2014-10-25 19:42:07 SleepyCrasian: As a fanfiction it would be difficult
  428. 2014-10-25 19:42:18 Krekian: stick em in the same boat.
  429. 2014-10-25 19:42:20 tg: nah it'd be easier as a fanfiction
  430. 2014-10-25 19:42:20 SleepyCrasian: It's got a lot of worldbuilding you need to do in a very short amount of time.
  431. 2014-10-25 19:42:27 SleepyCrasian: RP has scattering issues
  432. 2014-10-25 19:42:29 Krekian: well, wouldn't work.
  433. 2014-10-25 19:42:37 SleepyCrasian: It's best to do this for a Quest, unless the RP has everyone on the same crew.
  434. 2014-10-25 19:44:05 Ugolino: "Hornigold overtook a merchant ship in Honduras and the only thing he demanded was everyone's hat."
  435. 2014-10-25 19:44:08 Ugolino: Hmmmm.
  436. 2014-10-25 19:44:56 EtchedSteel: bbiab relocating
  437. 2014-10-25 19:45:19 Schwer-Muta: Oriko's distant ancestor.
  438. 2014-10-25 19:45:41 Ugolino: >Meguca with a truly absurd captain's hat
  439. 2014-10-25 19:46:05 Sightedjt: Meguca with obsession for microwaving tea
  440. 2014-10-25 19:46:10 Sightedjt: or just reheating it
  441. 2014-10-25 19:46:26 Ugolino: >her crew just stares
  442. 2014-10-25 19:46:37 Ugolino: GRIEF CANNONBALLS
  443. 2014-10-25 19:46:46 Winged Knight: Church opinion on Guca? After all, missionaries going to distant lands on ships was a thing.
  444. 2014-10-25 19:46:56 SleepyCrasian: OOohhhhhhhhh
  445. 2014-10-25 19:46:58 tg: "man, this attack is really bummin' me out."
  446. 2014-10-25 19:47:01 SleepyCrasian: OHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
  447. 2014-10-25 19:47:10 SleepyCrasian: Winged you have hit upon an EPIC thing.
  448. 2014-10-25 19:47:18 Winged Knight: Thanks?
  449. 2014-10-25 19:47:19 SleepyCrasian: Oh man.
  450. 2014-10-25 19:47:26 SleepyCrasian: No no think about it
  451. 2014-10-25 19:47:27 SleepyCrasian: Like
  452. 2014-10-25 19:47:40 SleepyCrasian: This is going to cause existential crises for the Church
  453. 2014-10-25 19:47:50 SleepyCrasian: You NEED megucas to make the voyage
  454. 2014-10-25 19:47:58 SleepyCrasian: But they're also Damned.
  455. 2014-10-25 19:48:01 SleepyCrasian: Like
  456. 2014-10-25 19:48:05 SleepyCrasian: What do you do with this?!
  457. 2014-10-25 19:56:23 Ugolino: Also...starting paths
  458. 2014-10-25 19:56:26 Ugolino: [x]Marooned
  459. 2014-10-25 19:56:29 Winged Knight: Hence, the Church is very uncomfortable with the concept.
  460. 2014-10-25 19:56:29 Ugolino: [x]Walking the plank
  461. 2014-10-25 19:56:33 Krekian: magical girl illuminati inside the church.
  462. 2014-10-25 19:56:33 Ugolino: [x]In port
  463. 2014-10-25 19:56:36 Schwer-Muta: They have to interact with sinners all the time what's the issue :V
  464. 2014-10-25 19:56:41 Krekian: secret society of nuns
  465. 2014-10-25 19:56:42 Schwer-Muta: That's sarcasm.
  466. 2014-10-25 19:56:44 Ugolino: Snrk.
  467. 2014-10-25 19:56:47 EtchedSteel: @Crasian Those gucas will be in denial with their beliefs. They had a reason to trade their souls for power, after all
  468. 2014-10-25 19:56:49 Sightedjt: I dont see how you get out of walking the plank end
  469. 2014-10-25 19:56:53 Krekian: magical gurl nuns.
  470. 2014-10-25 19:57:02 Ugolino: Sighted: fast talk
  471. 2014-10-25 19:57:07 Ugolino: Or swimming for it :V
  472. 2014-10-25 19:57:33 Sightedjt: [x] Marooned. [x] Look for sea turtles
  473. 2014-10-25 19:57:48 Sightedjt: [x] drink rum
  474. 2014-10-25 19:57:54 Ugolino: Or [x]Aboard ship
  475. 2014-10-25 19:57:57 Ugolino: uncontracted
