Well, they are co-owners and captains of the ship, so, there's no question about firing somebody. Also, it's a setampunk ship and it has many tricks up its sleeve, so don't worry TOO much about one of you nine lives.

@panos created this hilarious scene. I'm not sure if she saw my NC steampunk episode with @Biscuit like you did where I yelled at Biscuit for blowing up our airship. But we got another one so it was all good.

Laughing that's hilarious. I think somebody's getting fired if they survive the whirlpool! I love this image! Hey Biscuit @Biscuit I'm navigating another ship and about to die ... again! Good thing I have nine lives!

Pirates with some @CaylaCatz and @Biscuit vibes. very cool
@CaylaCatz · Mar 8, 2026
Yeah, I know. That's why I was explaining this was different from that. David had seen it so I wanted to let him know this was your story. I think you and Biscuit might connect a bit as both of your are good at stories on the fly

@Biscuit and just think if I throw you in, and you invented something to stop the whirlpool, you'd reap thousands of pounds selling the invention and I get to keep my rum bottles. I call that a win-win.
@Biscuit · Mar 7, 2026
@CaylaCatz Perhaps you could hurl the undoubtedly vast mountain of empty rum bottles you’ve hidden away into that maelstrom? In the vague hope they might provide enough "structural reinforcement" to slow it a little... 😅 🩶

@Biscuit I have faith in you! You are most inventive when you are under pressure just like Scotty! When death comes a banging, you become positively brilliant in your macgyvering!

As usual throwing me in the deep end... I'm not like Scotty from Star Trek you know! Holds breath and starts looking through purse
