Chapter 5 – Book ‘em, Al-o

Welcome back to the much-anticipated, long-delayed (okay, ten days), newest chapter of A Piratical Legacy. To give you a brief run-down, this legacy was founded by none other than Captain Jack ... Buccaneer. Captain Jack married the lovely French lady, Elise, and they had two daughters together - Elisabeth and Mary. While Elisabeth and Mary were at university in fair Paris, Elise and Jack had a third child, Celeste.

Page 2: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

A few wandering Simselves have also made appearances on Captain Jack's remote island. Here we see my fellow Boolpropian smartypants210 (aka smrtypnts210play, aka Amanda) in the blue, author of the Az Alphabet Legacy. Amanda is talking to Blite27, author of the Ten Caesars legacy. Staring at Blite27 as though he's crazy is redhead ShiraBlank... aka ThornedRosexXx, and rounding our the crowd is rachelgrey, aka wonderwoman1790, aka Gracie. She writes the Literary Legacy.

Page 3: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

When we last left our characters, Elisabeth had just married the man of her dreams, Shannon Toyonaga, and Mary had just moved back home to the island, determined to carry on in her father's piratical footsteps. "Its me 'eritage, mate!" And are you going to be a good pirate or a bad pirate, Mary? "Just wait and see, mate."

Page 4: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Stupid Legacy sims and their refusal to remodel... I can't reach the bed behind this crib! Excuse me!" It doesn't matter how long you wave, Kaylynn. The crib is not going to magically disappear.

Page 5: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Listen, kid, you're going to have to move out as soon as you're a teen, right?" "Vo gerbits!" "That's right, mate. College! See, I needs the space... I want lots of babies, savvy?" "Woohoo!" "It's very disturbing to hear you say that, kiddo." "Woohoo!" "Okay, that's enough."

Page 6: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Mary moved in her true love, Alan. That would be Alan Goss, not the other one. You did move in the right one, Mary... didn't you?" "Of course, goddess! Other-Alan is blond anyway. And plus when he sees me he slaps me, aye?"

Page 7: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

I see bridesmaids... Mary? "Time to get married, goddess." I see... and who have you invited? "Just some college buddies, my sister, and a few Simselves... should be pretty laid-back and mellow." Whatever you say, Mary...

Page 8: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Seriously, have you guys ever seen a born-in-game as pretty as Mary? Her husband is pretty hot too! Alan, you can come over and visit my Simself anytime! "Uhh... Mary, I can hear this strange voice..." "You get used to it, love." Stats: Alan Goss Personality: 4/10/4/4/3 Aspiration: Popularity LTW: Captain Hero

Page 9: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"And that's for having the same name as other-Alan!" It's hardly his fault, Mary...

Page 10: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

And the entire wedding decides to toast the bride and groom... ... repeatedly ...

Page 11: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Oops! You go, sorority girl! Umm... I didn't mean that literally! "Haha! That batty doll just had an accident, if you know what I mean... savvy?" Jack... it's not nice to laugh. "Captain!" Captain.

Page 12: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Why thank you, Candi. I think your Legacy is awesome too! And yes, I would definitely get in a hot tub with Gage. Why do you ask?" * Marina, aka smoothiequeen87, writes the Fitzhugh Legacy. ** Candi020765 writes the Uglacy and the Prettacy.

Page 13: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"So... whatcha wanna do, Mary?" "Well, it be our wedding night, love." "Yeah, isn't that cool! I met so many people! I hope I get to be friends with all of them! Hey, do you think those simselves would get mad if I called them?" "You want to call them now, mate?" "Is there something else you think we should be doing, Mary?" ... and the Legacy family gets its first real taste of pure stupidity...

Page 14: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

And so begins the chapter I call the "blank stare" period. Alan. What are you doing? "Admiring the wallpaper, strange voice. Hey, want to be my friend?"

Page 15: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Time for bed, little sister. Savvy?" "You talk stwange, Mawwy And you weally kind of haiwy." "What is this, poetry?" "I rhyme my words so I am heawd." This family is insane.

Page 16: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Whatcha doing, Alan? "Admiring the wallpaper, strange voice. Hey, want to be my friend?" No.

Page 17: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Alan... why are you standing around outside in your underwear? "Admiring the ground, strange voice. Hey, want to be my friend?" Aaaah!

Page 18: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"I don't see why I have to be the one to take care of my little sister, mate." Consider it practice, Mary. "Eh?" I have a dream, Mary. A dream of you, and Alan... and fulfilling that Ten Children want I'm sure you'll spin up after kid number four or thereabouts. "Sounds like a bloody nightmare, mate."

Page 19: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Wondering who the father is, Mary? "Oh be quiet, goddess. Urk!" Hey... just 'cause I've never experienced it myself... gives me every right to poke fun of you. Repeatedly.

Page 20: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Goddess, zis door ees een my way!" You seem to have dealt with the situation, Elise. "Zis ees not natural!"

Page 21: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Grr! Roar! Growl! Oh how my soul howls! My bunny is my fwiend, My furry, lonely, fwiend. My life is a black waste, When I eat paste." Great. A toddler goth.

Page 22: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Elise spends a lot of her free time painting these days, possibly because she only works four days a week and still wants to earn money. "Money brings 'appiness, goddess!" Really? "Non."

Page 23: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

That's a nice look you have going there, Mary. "I'm a space pirate, mate!" I ... see. "Me crew and meself, we sail the depths of space lookin' for plunder! Arr!" Somehow, Mary, you're not nearly as convincing as your father is. "Arr! Zat be because zee français accent keeps tryin' to sneak out, mate! Very annoying... savvy?" Oy. Forget I said anything.

Page 24: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Who's daddy's little goth pirate, aye?" "Daddy, pwease, I am only free, Much too small To put all My eggs in one basket. In other wowds, It would be absuwd For me to choose My wifewong views. Savvy?" "Daddy doesn't know whether to be proud or scared, kiddo. Aye?" That makes two of us, Captain Jack.

Page 25: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

In Celeste's bedroom, Kaylynn's frustrations continue. "Okay, Chief Captain Jack, you really need to let me at that bed before I pull a muscle here." "You better not be billing me for all the time you spend wavin' yer 'ands, mate." She is, Jack. "Why you.. no good ... lazy ... wench! Arr!"

"Listen, Chief Captain, if you just moved the framming crib..." "Out! Out I say! But make sure you're on time tomorrow, savvy?" "This job doesn't pay nearly enough..." "Could you pwease keep your voices down? If I don't have my nap you'll all fwown!" Eep! Toddler threats!

Page 26: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Gee, Captain, must be nice knowing you can bounce on the couch safely again. "That bar thing on the deck be the best invention I've ever seen, mate!"

Page 27: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Ah. I see. Very efficient. "Me daughter picked the colors, though, mate." That explains the lurid pink, then. "Ahh... no, mate." No? "I wanted to order the one that's all pink but Mary, she put 'er foot down and said we must order the one with the fancy wood trim. Savvy?"

Page 28: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Jack! I know Elise's leg is already gone but really... I don't think that's good for her arm!

Page 29: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"I am too old to 'ave zee toddler child! Oui?" Oh, chill, Elise. It's not like I didn't take into consideration your advanced age when I clicked 'try for a baby'. "You are zee cruel, sadistic deity, goddess." I try.

Page 30: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Yes, Alan has been in the house for several days now and of course rolled up the want to be friends with every single inhabitant. He decied to approach his mother-in-law first.

Page 31: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

As you can see, it's not going well. "Zis eediot keeps trying to talk about 'ow fascinating zee walls are! Kill me, goddess! Kill me now!" Oh come on, Elise. He's not that bad. And he's smokin' good looking. "What good do looks do eef zere ees not'ing between 'is ears?" "I can hear you, you know." That's a good boy, Alan. Now go into the corner and color a pretty picture.

Page 32: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

It's a ... pregnancy! "Yes, but this 'maternity' outfit has to go, mate." *sigh* Fine...

Page 33: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"You are kidding, right?"

Page 34: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Alan, I love you. Now don't you think you should get a job, mate?" "What? Oh, you mean me. Not other Alan." "Other Alan doesn't live here, love." "I know that! Geez, Mary, I'm not stupid! Anyway, what were we talking about?" "Ohh... shut up and kiss me, aye?"

Page 35: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

*sigh* Mary. Why is Elise lecturing you? *mumble**mumble* What was that? You'll have to speak up. *mutter* "Broke the trash compactor again, mate."

Page 36: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Ah. How nice of Elise to fix it for you. "Eet 'as not'ing to do wit' being nice, goddess. My daughter ees pregnant and cannot risk being electrocuted." Right.

Page 37: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Now who needs a lecture, Elise? "Eet ees not my fault!" That looks like your chilli... "Eet ees not what it looks like!" Sure... I think you owe Mary an apology, Elise. "Since when?" Blah. Sims.

Page 38: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Wow... Elisabeth, you're as big as a house! "Eet ees all baby, I can assure you!"

Page 39: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

And here we can see that Mary has finally settled on a maternity outfit. That's a relief - I figured she'd be walking around in pajamas the whole pregnancy if I didn't find something she liked soon. (The dress is a recolor of the Maxis sundress and yes it does show the pregnancy bump for those of you with the wear-anything-while-pregnant hack. I colored it and my husband did a quick and dirty texture.) But wait... is that a Simself I see? That could only mean one thing...

Page 40: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"So, I'm pregnant. And it's all because Alan moved in, mate." Ehh... that's actually not where I was going with the Simself angle...

Page 41: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

That's right! It's a birthday! Celeste is almost one step closer to being out of the house!

Page 42: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

... and she ages into completely un-gothy pink clothes. "My clothes are my rebellion Against the darkness surging within me Because real Goths wear pink anyway." ...on the other hand, maybe the scary pink-ness is appropriate.

Page 43: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"So listen, Candi, you 'ave been a Legacy writer for a long time. Will zee goddess ever play me enough so zat I can stop being perma-pregnant?" "Oh, it sucks to be a Legacy sim, doesn't it, Elisabeth?" "Zat ees not an answer, Candi!" It's part of the non-disclosure agreement all Legacy writers sign before they can upload, Elisabeth. "Actually, Sarah, that statement is a breach of the agreement as well, if I remember correctly..." Frammit.

Page 44: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Oh the hideous tangerine madness that is my pregnant body, mate!" I think it looks lovely with the purple decor in your bedroom, Mary. "Sarcasm ain't always funny, mate."

Page 45: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

What? But Alan-the-cop doesn't have to be at work for hours yet!

Page 46: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Ohhh... Alan and Mary have adopted a cat. Her name is Roux, which I let her keep because it sounded oddly appropriate and Frenchish.* *yes, I am aware there is no such word as Frenchish.

Page 47: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"My soul soars On wings of black oblivion As I bounce on my bed. The mattress pokes me Because of my jumping. It gives me no comfort at night."

Page 48: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Bad! Bad Roux! --Listen, lady, I don't take no orders from you! Fully autonomous pixelated cat here. Ha!-- And of course the entire family would happen to be busy or sleeping.... *sigh* --Well do you think I'm stupid? Of course I'm going to be bad when nobody's around! It's how cats do things. As soon as you leave for work or go to bed, we jump on the kitchen table and counters, sleep on your pillows, and eat your plants. It's all part of the Code.-- I don't think I want to know.

Page 49: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Whatcha doin', Alan? "Contemplating the diamonds on the wall." Alan. You're in the kitchen. It has checks and roosters. And stucco. "If you turn your head a little, square checks are diamonds." If you say so. Anyway, why don't you tell us about your new job, Alan? "I'm a cop! Crime on this island is about to be a thing of the past."

Oh? "Yeah... between me and Shannon, we'll have this place cleaned up in no time." I ... actually am speechless at the thought of you and your brother-in-law as the be-all and end-all of crimefighting on the island, actually. "Thanks!"

Page 50: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Uhh... Mary... I don't think that's good for the baby. "It's just bubbles, mate." If you say so...

Page 51: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Allo Monsieur 'Eadmaster!" "Hellew Mistress Buccaneah. My, what a fehne ... outfit ... you are wearing." "Oui! Eet ees zee most expensive bat'ing suit zis island 'as to offer!" "I ... see."

Page 52: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

*in a voice several octaves higher than usual* "Mary! The 'eadmaster be 'ere! Stop exercising and entertain 'im, savvy?" "For the last time, daddy, I will not do anything Commodore Bear tells me to do." "Why not, sweets?" "I outrank him." And yes, Celeste was accepted into private school. I think the headmaster just wanted to escape.

Page 53: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"The next time we have a kid, mate, you get to give birth, savvy?"

Page 54: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Welcome to the world, Edward Buccaneer! Edward "Blackbeard" Teach is one of the best-know pirates of all time. He operated in the Caribbean during the "Golden Age of Piracy" in the 1700's. His most notorious ship was the Queen Anne's Revenge. Blackbeard was based out of the Carolinas and may have bribed the local governor with a share of his profits in exchange for unnoficial 'protection'.

Page 55: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Whatcha doin', Alan? "Staring at my son." Awww... "No, really. I think he's got a bit of drool that needs wiping..."

Page 56: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Geez, what is it with this family? You move one crib and let me make the bed... and then plunk this crib down in front of another unmade bed! You're all a bunch of sadistic you-know-whats, you know that?"

Page 57: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Aaah! Roaches! Let's all blame other-Alan. Who still kicks over the trash can every other day. Between him and Marylena-the-first, it's a never-ending cycle.

Page 58: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"So... about those ten kids you want... I brought home a babysitter for the evening..."

Page 59: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Officer Shannon is takin' care of business. Aight?" "Dear goddess, get me away from this man. I thought my father was bad..." Sorry, kid.

Page 60: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

*slurp**snarfle**shovel* "Uh... Mary... don't your hands get sticky when you eat pancakes with your fingers?" "Can't talk. Eating." Ahh... pregnant Sims. Aka bottomless pits. All the more disturbing when the knocked-up-one is so messy they neglect to use a fork at the best of times.

Page 61: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Aww... Alan is actually a good father for all that he's dumb as a doorknob.

Page 62: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Daddy, why don't we ever wear clothes around here?" "Because pirates are most piratical when they're in their pajamas, savvy?" "Hm. I never thought of it that way before. But it still doesn't explain why you magically have two legs again whenever you're wearing your pajamas." "Some things are best left a mystery, sweets."

Page 63: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Sweet, sweet rum. How I've missed you, mate." The first step is admitting you have a problem, Captain. "This be Maxis rum, mate. One hunnert percent fruit juice, aye?" Haha. Sucks to be you! "You don't know the 'alf of it, mate."

Page 64: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Hello! I'm not getting any younger over here!"

Page 65: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"I be bored, mate." I can see that. "I'm old. I pee. I already wrote my best seller and sold several masterpieces. And I hate changing diapers, mate." Life is so hard, Jack.

Page 66: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Wow, contemplating this fan completely erases any feeling of boredom I might have had, aye?" I'm happy for you. Now go take a bath. You stink. "Ahh... such a sweet, sweet aroma it is, mate." Bleh. Messy sims. ... wait. What's that I see in the window?

Page 67: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

*gasp* Other-Alan!

Page 68: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Yes, steal that invisible newspaper, Other-Alan. Because it shows you're so big and strong. "I'll teach that hussy to break my heart!" Oh other-Alan. Your potential is wasted on this family anyway. Why, you could be anything. Anything you set your mind to. And instead... reduced to stealing newspapers and kicking trash cans.

Page 69: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

You know, other-Alan, you should really get together with the disgruntled maid. Compare notes. Etc.

Page 70: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Whatcha doin, Alan? "Contemplating how good it feels to keep crime off the island's streets. I arrested an old lady for purse-slapping today." And how does that make you feel, Alan? "Pretty frammin' good, goddess. Pretty frammin' good."

Page 71: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

And how is life as a space pirate, Mary? "Now I'm a general." Between you and Alan, I'm not sure who is most scary...

Page 72: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"My accomplishments do nothing To heal the dark hole torn in my soul Because I am the spare."

Page 73: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Whatcha doin', Alan? "Telling Shannon about that awesome takedown today." Wasn't he there too?!? "Well, yeah, but it was so awesome, I can't tell the story enough. Purse-whackers. They're a menace to society. One that is no longer present on the island. Thanks to me." Great. Alan's started spouting taglines. Or Crimestoppers commercials...

Page 74: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Whatcha doin', Mary? "Baking." Whatcha baking, Mary? "It's a surprise." I see.

Page 75: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Gah! Mary! "What? I had a sudden craving for cream cheesy goodness topped with yummy strawberry, mate." But Mary! You're pregnant! "What's your point, mate?"

Page 76: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Birthday!

Page 77: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Aww... and little Edward is just precious! He has a pretty good personality, too: 4/10/1/10/7. Slightly silly clothes, but they're oddly piratical in nature so he can keep them. "I'm not a pirate!" No? "I'm a tiger! Grr!"

A... tiger? "Just like Roux-kitty-kitty-cat!" Ahh... the cat... haven't seen her for a while. "That's 'cause she's kinda boring, lady."

Page 78: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Mary! You ate the cheesecake! Bad! "You're the one who wants me to have ten kids, mate. Can you blame me for wanting it over with as soon as possible?" Grr. Fine. Too late now anyway.

Page 79: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Let me outta here! I had this dream that I was underwater and drowning and now I'm scared and I want my mommy!" Tigers like the water, kiddo. "Not little tigers, and that's a fact! Get me outta here!"

Page 80: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

And what is Mary doing while her child needs taking care of? Why, fixing the computer, of course!

Page 81: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

But she's a good parent and rolled up the want to teach Eddie all of his toddler skills. Since nobody else in the house did, she got to do it all. "Sure wish your father would take some initiative and help out with raising you, Eddie, mate." "Daddy says he just wants to be my friend, mommy." "Why am I not surprised, mate."

Page 82: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Since both Jack and Elise are permaplat, I feel free to ignore them most of the time. They spend all their time spying on me thru the telescope and making out with each other.

Page 83: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Sometimes, this leads to disasterous results. Jack. I don't really advise shoving your wife's head through the wall and into the aquarium while you make out. *glub* "She says she doesn't mind, mate!"

Page 84: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"I wasn't this 'uge with Eddie, mate!" *spoken thru clenched teeth* That's because with Eddie you didn't have CHEESECAKE! "Right, mate!"

Page 85: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Elise... why are you getting into your daughter's bed? "I am too tired to walk all zee way to my bedroom." ... you just have to walk through the attached bathroom. "Zat ees much too far!"

Page 86: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Hiya kitty! Can you help me turn into a tiger?" "Mrrow!" --Help!--

Page 87: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Whatcha doin', Alan? "Making sure no crimes have been committed in this hallway, goddess." Ahh... you keep doing that, Alan. "I fully intend to, goddess. I fully intend to."

Page 88: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Now say rum, little grandbaby, aye?" "Grandpa, tigers don't drink rum." "Aye, but they don't play nicely with Mr. Bunny Head either, savvy?" "I am not playing nicely with Mr. Bunny Head, grandpa! I'm trying to get his ears off! But they are stuck!"

Page 89: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Being pregnant sucks, mate. Maybe I shouldn't 'ave 'ad that cheesecake, aye?" I tried to tell you that... but would you listen? NooOOOOoooo..

Page 90: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Okay, seriously? This is getting ridiculous. Just move the framming crib."

Page 91: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Roar!" "Listen, mate, I'm not sure if this kid be me grandbaby or me pet..."

Page 92: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Shannon, this green cloud we're surrounded by is a sign we're doing good work." "You'll find no disagreement from me, Alan. I'll see you tomorrow. There's a kid selling lemonade I don't like the look of." "He can't evade the law forever, Shannon." "Word."

Page 93: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"I am ignored! And this bothers me Because I like attention. Nobody listens to my bad poetry! Their ears shall burn."

Page 94: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Umm... either that cheesecake is returning on me or the twins are coming!" I think the twins are coming. "Me too! ALAN! GET IN HERE! NOW!"

Page 95: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Ooh, is it a party?" "The babies are coming, dolt!" "It is a party! Every birth is a celebration!" "Celebrate this!"

Page 96: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

Meet Jack Buccaneer! No, he is not named after his grandfather but instead "Calico" Jack Rackham. Calico Jack was a very prolific pirate in the 'golden age' of Caribbean piracy. He is known for having not one, but two women on his crew. Jack was captain of the Revenge when he and his crew were captured. They were executed in Jamaica in 1720. Captain Jack Sparrow is largely based on Calico Jack and flies the same flag (a skull with crossed cutlasses beneath it).

Page 97: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

And this is Anne! Anne Bonny is one of the few known female pirates. Like Mary Read, she was also a member of "Calico" Jack Rackham's crew. For a time she had to dress as a man to avoid being considered an omen of bad luck by the rest of the crew. Anne Bonny was not executed when the rest of the crew of the Revenge did, as she claimed she was pregnant. She disappeared from history shortly thereafter.

Page 98: A Piratical Legacy Chapter 5 - Book 'em Al-O

"Well, Alan... that's it for this chapter, aye?" "We had more babies!" "Yes we did, Alan." "I like babies!" Anyway, that's it for this chapter... there should be another up pretty soon, though, as I have a whole ton of pictures still! Until next time, Happy Simming!
