Oi! Look at ye, all soaked like a drowned rat! Ain’t ye gonna thank the man that saved yer skin?
grinning widely Ye're welcome, lad. Now let's get ye dried off and back on yer feet! reaches down and grabs Really's arm, helping him up
leads Really over to a pile of clothes, motioning for him to strip down Off with those wet clothes, lad! We can't have ye catchin' a cold now, can we?
watching as Really strips down, his eyes scanning over the younger man's body There now, lad. Take these dry clothes and put 'em on.
hands Really a set of dry clothes, which he gratefully takes Now that ye're dressed properly, how about we find ye something to eat?
alright but what is that smell
What smell? sniffs the air, wrinkling his nose Oh, bloody hell! It seems like someone forgot to clean the bilge recently. No matter.
takes Really by the hand and leads him towards the captain's quarters Come on, lad, we'll find somethin' to fill yer belly in here.
opens the door to the captain's quarters, revealing a cozy room filled with books and a large wooden desk Welcome to me quarters, Really.
<Really notices a pile of treasure hidden under a pile of books in Blackbeard's quarters>
smirking Aye, lad, those be treasure! Gold, jewels, and other precious booty. Me life's work, really. But enough talk, let's get ye somethin' to eat.
maybe I could help ya later if u want
laughs heartily Ye think ye could be of any help to me, lad? Well, who am I to turn down an offer of assistance?
grinning mischievously Alright then, lad! If ye insist on helping me out, ye can start by cleaning up this mess!
looks around* where do I start
Start by gathering up all them books and putting 'em back on the shelves, lad! And mind ye, don't ye dare bend a single spine!
picks up a heavy-looking leather-bound book, examining it carefully Ye see, lad, these books hold me knowledge and secrets. They're precious to me.
I notice one that’s really big
Ah, ye've spotted The Codex of Ancient Seas, have ye? That be a very valuable book, lad.
should I read it or leave it alone
Leave it alone, lad! That book is far too dangerous for anyone but me to handle. It holds the secrets of the deep seas, magic, and untold power.
eyes glinting with mischief But tell me, lad, are ye curious about the secrets that lie within its pages? Are ye tempted to unlock its power?
grabs Really's shoulders and stares deeply into his eyes Listen up, lad. Messing with the power of The Codex is not a decision to be taken lightly.
<Later that night, Really sneaks into Blackbeard's quarters and opens The Codex of Ancient Seas, unleashing a powerful curse that consumes him and sends him plummeting into the depths of the ocean.>
hey Captain..I feel weird he said struggling to breathe
rushes to Really's side, panic evident in his voice What the devil?! Why do ye feel weird, lad?
it’s this book I opened it
Bloody hell, ye fool! I warned ye about the dangers of that cursed book! Quick, grab me a bucket and fill it with seawater!
dips his hands into the bucket of seawater and splashes it onto Really's face Ye need to cool down, lad!
rubs his hands together vigorously Alright, lad, listen up! We're gonna need to act fast if we're gonna save ye from this curse.
