Chapter 50 by pistachio pistachio

What happens in the playroom?

A Mutiny.

"There's just one problem we need to deal with first," Tibby says as the group returns to the play room.

"Oh yeah? And what's that?" Ashley asks her.

"Why he gets to be captain!" Swiping the hat off of your head, she leaps up and grabs the rope attached to the ceiling. She swings around and lets go of the rope, landing on the bed. As she bounces, she says, "That was fun!" and puts the hat on her head. "Call me Captain Catfang now."

"It's a mutiny!" you cry. You pat your head with both hands overdramatically.

"It's a terrible Captain's name," Ashley says dryly.

"It's a hostile take-over," Annabelle declares as she readies her weapons. "Captain Fang and Captain Bell rule these waters now, and we're here for your booty!"

"Eek! Protect my booty, John!" Ashley exclaims as she dives behind you.

"Fear not, fair bunnyfolk," you say as you draw your cardboard tube blunderbuss. "Captain Barefoot doesn't give up that easily, if we watch each other's backs I know we can beat these curs."

"But I'm just a defenceless maiden," she says. "Captain Bell kept me in the crow's nest as a lookout by day, and at night she'd take me into her quarters to... to plunder my booty!"

You gasp dramatically. "She did that to you? You'll pay for preying on innocent rabbits like that, you scoundrel."

"We're pirates, it's what we do," Annabelle laughs cruelly. "If you don't have the stomach for it you should have stayed in the navy, you goody-no-shoes."

"But there's no girls in the navy, I had to desert," you defend yourself.

"Then you are in it for the booty, same as the rest of us!"

"Well yeah, but I thought being a daring swashbuckler with a bared chest would make the ladies come to me."

"And see where that attitude got you, betrayed by your own crew. In this life if you want something, you have to take it!" As she speaks Annabelle pulls two plastic cutlasses from the wall and throws one to Tibby. "Are you ready, Fang?"

Tibby catches the weapon and advances menacingly. "I'm ready. For the Bellfang Alliance!" She jabs her sword at you, and it's all you can do to deflect it with your cardboard blunderbuss.

You start using the weapon like a sword, parrying the snarling cat's attacks as she swings her cutlass wildly. You hold your own for a while, but Tibby is a little too into her role and you have to back up to avoid some painful hits. After a few steps you bump against the bed and fall over, your assailaint pouncing on you before your back even touches the mattress.

You're just glad she dropped the plastic sword first, so you admit defeat and let her pose victoriously as she pins you down.

Ashley hasn't fared much better, since she wasn't armed at all. You didn't catch much of her fight, but after a bit of running and dodging Annabelle is now standing behind her, one arm wrapped around the bunny's midsection and the other holding the cutlass menacingly close to her neck. "This is how a real pirate handles herself, Captain Barefoot. I'll take this pretty lass for myself again, along with half your plunder. Your ship belongs to Captain Fang now, and she may do with you as she pleases. But first..."

She lets go of Ashley, her menacing demeanor dissolving. "We have costumes to judge!"

What's next?
