Redbadge's Solo Skull and Shackles (IC)

Jhiv knocks on the divider to the Quartermaster's and asks Grok if she has seen Fishguts.

The store is empty as well.

Jhiv shrugs and starts to clean the galley so he can start cooking.

Proper cleaning of the galley and its contents looks like it will take 2-5 hours (1d4+1 hours). You can give it a quick clean, which only takes 1 hour, but gives you a -2 on today's cooking check. Alternatively, you could give it the thorough clean it hasn't had in a while, which takes twice as long (2d4+2 hours), but cuts cooking result times in half for at least the next week, as having a cleaned and organized work area makes you very efficient.
[sblock=Perception DC 11]As you work in the galley, you periodically hear grunts, snorts, and otherwise muffled breathing coming from Area A7 (see post no. 28).[/sblock]

Jhiv decides to go ahead and clean the galley thoroughly while he has the chance. After cleaning the galley Jhiv gets started on the meal for the day. While he cleans up the galley Jhiv tries to see if he can break the addiction he has.[sblock=Current Status]Jhiv Viratek (Male undine druid/rogue 2)

Part way through your cook's mate duties, the door to the Quartermaster and Cook's Cabin opens and Cut-Throat Grok stumbles out. You can see that the tiny cabin is about ankle-deep in booze bottles, and Fishguts is still unconscious and sprawled across his own bed. Grok shuffles across the galley, grunting at you as she does so. She opens the Quartermaster store before entering, slamming the door shut, and collapsing inside.

Though it takes all day, you eventually get the kitchen in ship-shape condition. The floor and walls have been mopped and scrubbed, the pots, pans and utensils glisten, actually hanging from their proper hooks, the knives are aligned all in a row on the clean cutting board, and all the other junk that greeted you on your first day has been put in its proper place. You even had the foresight to organize the spice cabinet.

About 20 minutes before Bloody Hour, as a fine meal sits simmering in pots and pans about the galley and you stand setting out neat piles of forks and tin plates for tonight's serving, you hear a loud moan come from the cook's cabin, followed by a curse and loud outburst, “Besmara's balls! What time is it!?"

You hear the creak of springs, a loud crash, and the tinkling of bottles rolling into each other as Fishguts rushes into the galley, “Jhiv! Jhiv! Why didn' ya..." Fishguts freezes at the sight of the galley and the fully prepared meal.

"Well good morning, and how are you today?" Jhiv says as he continues to finish the last of the preparations to get the meal on plates after Bloody Hour. "I didn't get the chance to go fishing today so we will have to do that tomorrow, or this evening if the weather holds. I was thinking of casting Light on the nets to see if we could catch some more exotic night fish and change things up a bit. What do you think?"

Fishguts meanders around the galley, obviously pleased. He stops at the cutting board and picks up his favorite knife, running his thumb along the blade to find that you've sharpened it nicely. Finally, he looks up at you with a distant look, though it quickly comes into focus, cutting through his grogginess and still half-asleep state.

“...Huh, what? Oh, yes, that sounds like an idea, that does. Mayhaps ye can catch some snapper or kingfish. I 'ear those may be more activ' at night."

Fishguts lifts his nose, catching a waft of your food. “Aye. Smells good today. Well done, lad, well done."

“O' course. I'll take care o' this."

As you head up the hold steps towards the deck, you hear a slight roar and the sound of heavy pattering. Sure enough, when you poke your head out into the open air, you are greeted by a heavy rain. You join the other drenched pirates, but after several minutes waiting, it becomes apparent that Plugg and Scourge will not be making appearances to offer "entertainment" tonight.

As people turn to head belowdecks, Sandara finds you. "You might try avoiding Plugg. I overheard him talking with Patch about possibly giving you the night watch tonight. The gnome was complainin' about havin' to do it in the rain, and Plugg said something o' the sorts, 'HEH, THE FISHMAN IS MADE FOR WATER. MAYHAPS I"LL GET HIM FOR THE WATCH.' Just lettin' ya know." She struggles to be heard over the rain. "I'll go down first to see if the coast is clear, then you can follow me." After a short moment, she pops back out, "No sign of Plugg. He's probably in the Capn's cabin playing cards with the other officers."
