"Wake up you useless crustaceans! it's time to set sail!" Yelled James at the top of his lungs to the crabs which got to their feet and climbed up the rigging. James was bored and wanted the sea. he longed to sail again. he decided enough was enough. he went to the starboard bow and grabbed onto one of the ropes he had tied to the side of the ship, and climbed down. it was his first time down this one, and obviously a painful first time as he found the rope was too short and dropped to the ground after passing the lower deck cannonports, a loud thump the only sign of his fall. "Ow...last time i let that dimwit tie my ropes to the ship....wait a minute....i am that dimwit...bugger" he mumbled as he got up shakily, a staggering, almost drunken walk which had made many mistaken him for his father, following as he moved around the ship, trying to find something useful. "DAMN YOU FISHFACE!" yelled James, as he fell to his back. he just stayed there, his eyes closed in the shade of his ship...until that shadow disappeared. he opened one eye, and looked around. the Pearl was moving...he got up, and stared. what he saw left him wide-eyed in surprise. infront of him were over a million crabs, lifting the Pearl and taking her in some unknown direction. "oi OI! wait for the Captain! Dont you desert me! i'll have you locked in the Brig!....oh oh, Sorry! sorry! Wait for me! wait for meee!" He yelled as he ran shakily towards one of the ropes, only barely grabbing hold of it, and dragging himself up onto the deck. he was dumbfounded. the sails were set, the crabs were taking the ship in some unknown direction, and James was just sitting there humming a Pirate's Life for me...
"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!"
