When the first squid was discovered all those years earlier, people were sure it was a monster. After all, they looked like a big blue cube with eyes, and often managed to find themselves stuck in crazy locations (with a few even making their way into people's houses).
But the discovery of the squids in the houses, or railway stations, or town centers, revealed something about the ugly creatures - they could survive on land for much longer than most fish in the ocean.
So, businessmen instantly saw the opportunity, and began taking the squid, pushing them onto land, taking milk from them, and leaving them to die after a while.
Of course, the animal activists wouldn't have this. And so, the race to save the squids began. Protected man made water bodies were made, and the squid would quickly be pushed into minecarts and sent to safety.
However, a while later, the squid evolved slightly, and stopped creating milk.
That was the day, the milk business died.
Of course, cows still provided milk, but it just wasn't the same. The businessmen seemed to get some weird kick out of hauling big blue cubes onto land for their milk.
For a while, the squid were fine, no longer being torn apart by activists and businessmen, but this didn't last long.
Rare ink was discovered, and the businessmen were at it again, revealing their newest invention - the sponge.
This device, which they'd spent all their time between the milk craze and the ink craze developing, drained water bodies completely with enough, and soon created the opportunity to hunt hundreds of squids at a time.
Now realising that they had to fight fire with fire, the activists stole a prototype of the sponge and drained other water bodies, using their limited time to load the dried up squids into carts and send them back to their protected water.
Finally, the sponge became illegal, and the use and production of it stopped. Settlements built over the dried up water bodies, and life returned back to normal for the squid, the activists, and the businessmen (who were now enjoying their cash made by the ink).
Of course, the sponge eventually was remade, and became legal again, but the squids were never fought over again. This was mainly because of how annoying and utterly stupid they were.
The businessmen got their ink, and the activists decided that the squid were far too dumb to realise they were dying, and left it at that, tired of the whole ordeal.
But the fish, the fish weren't lucky enough. They weren't saved by activists, nor were they dumb enough to realise they weren't dying. They knew, when the water bodies were drained, that they were doomed.
But what did the businessmen care? They were fish after all.
The fish, now accepting their fate, ignored it all, and went on with their lives, uneducated on exactly what was going on.
And so, when the large, blue fish swam into a plastic bag, it wasn't so sure what was happening. It knew this was caused by humans, and it knew it was bad, but it wasn't sure what this bag actually was.
So, what did it to? Well, what else, but ignore it, and continue to swim?
Besides, what could this bag possibly do?
"I FOUND A DEAD FISH IN A BAG!" Derek cried.
"What are you talking about, Iron?" Delphi made his way over to the fool who was holding a large bag proudly.
"We're saved!"
Delphi sighed. "Derek, we have enough food for weeks. We don't need to eat dead fish in a... strange looking bag." Delphi thought for a moment. "Wait a minute... Derek, give me the bag."
"No!"
"Derek..."
"I found this fish everyone! It was me!" he yelled to the rest of the crew, who were gathering food for a large bonfire.
"Shut up Derek..." some muttered.
"OK, you found the fish," Delphi said calmly. "Now give me the bag."
"Why should I?"
"Because I outrank you. Hand it over."
Derek laughed and climbed up a tall tree, before tying the bag around a branch and throwing berries at the Leader. Delphi couldn't help but wonder how Derek had the skills AND the mind of a monkey.
"Haha! Who outranks me now?" Derek taunted.
"Still me, Derek. Climbing up a tree wont help you..."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah..." Delphi said, pouring plenty of strength into creating some held fire. "Get down from the tree Derek."
See the flame, Derek's eyes widened, and he quickly untied the bag and slid down. "Here you go," he sighed.
Delphi examined the bag carefully. It... looked like it was from a shop from the Second Escapia... The Crossroads Mall. That was it. Perhaps civilization was nearby!
"Guys, I think we're close to civilisation!" he yelled. Too late.
The entire crew had broken into a huge party, celebrating... for some reason. There was no way he would get their attention now.
Delphi
a) Go on your own to find where the bag had come from. The ocean has a current, so you know which direction to go.
b) Go with Derek to find where the bag had come from.
c) Don't go.
Delphi II
If you chose a) or b) -
a) Take Arogon's ship
b) Swim
c) Use your Leader powers to hover over the ocean (this will make you weak when you arrive, and also prevent you from taking Derek.
At the same time, a similar party was taking place between two other ships, with the one difference being the encouragement to remove, and better yet, burn pants.
Blackadder and Vallorn provided lava, allowing for instant incineration, despite the risks on a wooden ship.
According to Skunk's calculations (which were random guesses, with some sort of influence from what the clouds looked like), the two ships were supposed to arrive at the first town the next day. Despite no sign of Arogon's ship appearing, the ships were enjoying their parties, with the excuse that it brought up morale, and therefore was important.
Sti was making his way down to the kitchen, in search of more drinks, when he was approached by the man.
"You looking for drinks?" the man asked, as Sti searched through.
"Yeah, can't find any though. We can't be all out..."
"Afraid so. Captain Adder has had his share. Luckily, I kept a few safe," he said with a chuckle. "You want some drinks to take back up? Wouldn't want the party to end early."
Sti
a) Sure, why not?
b) Nah, probably had too much already.
Oh hey, I have a signature now! 26/07/11
