"All hands ahoy!"

"Muster on deck!" the Quartermaster responded, ringing the ship's bell. The crew knew her as "Catty," due to her favorite accoutrement, a Cat-O-Nine tails that she used to keep discipline. Pirates honestly didn't take well to such treatment--after all, this wasn't the navy. But Hook enjoyed the tight ship her quartermaster kept. Standing on the deck below Hook's position at the wheel and above the crew, she called the roll of Jolly Roger pirates.

"Boatswain Samantha Smee!" A heavyset woman in a blue and white blouse and red cap responded, "Reporting for duty, Catty. Um, Sir! I mean ma'am!" The quartermaster grimaced for a moment before continuing. "Gunner Aimless Amy!" "Aye-arrr!" shouted a blonde pirate, in what seemed to be a failed display of grit.

The quartermaster nodded. "Sawbones Sally!" "Ship's Surgeon Sawbones Sally, present and awaiting orders. Now don't ya get yourselves injured on this trip!" said a sassily-attired pirate with her hand on her hip.

"Sailing Master Selina!" "Sailing MISTRESS Selina, here." The quartermaster stared at her. "How many times do we have to go over this? 'Sailing Mistress' doesn't sound like a pirate, but another profession altogether!" "Aye, but there's no disgrace in that profession, either!" Selina responded to the laughter of the crew. Catty threw her hands up in exasperation, and called the next name.

"Carpenter Clarice Jensen!" "I'm here...present...what am I supposed to say again?" "Are you drunk again?" Catty growled, shaking her flogger threateningly. "Um...no?"

"Cabin Girl Ari" "Aaaaaarrrrri, heerrree, aye!" said the redhead with a sly smirk. Catty looked unamused, but there was little time to take exception.

"Powder Monkey Kira?" Sally spoke up, "She's below, in my care for a twisted ankle. When she's ready to report for duty, I'll let you know." Catty nodded, clearly annoyed that she wouldn't get to flog the girl for insubordination. "Cook Katy?"

"Here ma'am, keepin' the crew well-fed, as always!"

"That's the full complement, minus the powder monkey, Cap'n," Catty reported, turning toward Hook.

Jacqueline's apparent mood of contemplation ended suddenly. "Hoist the sails! We have a prize to take!"
