Cog:

Nice to have my feet on something which isn't floating up and down and side to side for a change. But what this is, is bleak. Very bleak. And I hope the master's scheme includes a way off this dump. A better way than sailing with lemons or half-naked pirates, for example.

And to think that he would have had me carrying the entire crew's wardrobe around with me just because we'd won them. If I hadn't pointed out that pirate fashion is always years behind and badly cut to boot he wouldn't have left it behind. If I never see another stripey shirt it will be too soon.
