James woke up at 5:25 that morning, with a bit of a headache, and was in a bad mood. he got his gear on, his golden, ruby incrested double barrel Pistol on his left side and his black and gold sword on his right, tied on the sash and bandanna, then went to the galley and had the cabin boy get him some milk ready. the last time he'd had ome chocolate milk, it helped him with a small head and neck ache he had, so he thought he'd use it again. when he got back, he found the monkey eating the chocolate powder. he drew his pistol and unloaded 2 shots into the undead monkey, blowing it off of the chocolate and into the old barrel of rum. James hurried and covered the barrel, and put a pile of books on top of it. he then got himself a mug, filled it with 2 teaspoons of chocolate powder and took it to the galley, pouring the milk into the mug. after drinking the whole mug of chocolate milk, he felt fine. " no more headache... "thought James. he then went onto the deck, went to the other side of the ship, down the stairs to the hammocks that the crew were STILL sleeping in, and yelled "get out of yer 'ammocks you scabless dogs! there's work to be done! Black Jack! get up and get 4 barrels of rum taken up to the deck now! Willy! start scrubbing the decks! the rest of you scurvvy dogs get up and do your usual work! we need to get moving if you want to see land again!". by now, the whole crew was up, the hammocks tied to the ceiling and the crew on deck. Nathaniel was now the captain of the Dauntless, and undoubtedly doing exactly what James was that very moment. James went back on deck to see Adeline at the wheel of her ship. he got up, went up to the ship's wheel and yelled "Adeline! enjoy the steering!" and got to his own wheel and handled the ship. Yuke got out of bed, had a bottle of rum, patted the head of his pet Parrot and started sending crew in all sorts of directions. soon, he was doing what James, Adeline and Nathaniel were doing...
"Ah yes, organised chaos. the sign of a clever but ever-busy mind. To the perpetrator, a carefully woven web of belongings and intrigue, but to the bystander? Madness!"
