Shiv had seen a fuzzy flash, something in the distance. But his eyes weren't that good, and for all he knew it had just been the sunlight flashing off a weapon or something. The woman wanted him to back off, and he was fine with that. He didn't want to die today, and that stupid fat captain would ...

(05:22:23) Shivster: I love being in a thread with Kat and Kit just because i can call them Kit Kat
(05:27:58) Katona: Yumm.
(05:28:09) Katona: Kat is the chocolate and kit is the wafer.

Shiv heard the command to surrender, and honestly it sounded like a good idea to him at this point. He wasn't a coward, didn't really like to back down from a scrap, but this wouldn't be a scrap. This would be a massacre. And being alive, that was preferable to being massacred. He didn't want to ...

He rolled his eyes at her again, then watched as the ships got closer. It was always the same. A volley of arrow fire, then they would get close enough to shout at each other, then it would be decided from there. Their ship was a fat sow, deep in the water and wallowing without win. The one that ...

(04:54:57) (James): Sheldon is showing everyone what a stand up chap he is
(04:55:17) (Sheldon): You know it, toots
(04:55:20) Shivster: Color me disbelief
(04:55:46) (James): Sheldon is out of cigarettes though
(04:55:56) (James): so he's probably just gonna go to sleep
(04:56:09) (James): -or ...

Shiv growled, but more in anger than annoyance. He wasn't asking her to fight, he was trying to help her protect herself if it got to that point. She thought she was so smart, but she wasn't. Her pride blinded her to everything. She could think her hooey magic shite was going to be the only thing ...

"Scheiße." He growled the word out, falling back into a language he barely remembered, one he had last spoken before he had climbed into his first rigging and watched waves crash against the bow of a ship. He moved next to her, holding it out like he intended to fire the crossbow.

"You point th ...

He sighed, wanting to snap at her again. But he couldn't. He had enough to worry about without her dagger like eyes staring him in the back the whole time.

"It's a crossbow. You point it at someone, pull the trigger, and it shoots a bolt at them." He twisted it to show her the little box on the ...

Shiv smiled, more like a rat snarling than anything. And with his squinty little eyes, he did look a bit like a rat. He rolled his shoulders, looking at the ship coming towards them hard. Even from this distance and with how blurry it was, he could see it listing a bit. Maybe it had been in a battle ...

"You put your hands on me first, you ugly bitch."

He lifted his cutlass, placing the tip of the blade on the column of her throat. How convenient she had lifted her chin. She might be taller than him, but didn't she know? Even the tallest trees fell from enough axe blows. And there was some things ...

Shiv lost his temper, and he turned around and gave her a stiff arm shove to the shoulder. He'd ignored her for a reason, he needed to be able to hear what was yelled out by anyone. They had already shouted that it flew a pirate flag, and it was moving low and fast over the water, straight for them ...

Due to logistical questions about troll breeding with other races and the dangers therein, is troll genitalia proportionate to troll sizes?

The Dark Tower series. Because it's just that good. There's no way I can describe it.

Also, House of Leaves. Because it's a Horror book that made a 20 year old scared of the dark again.

Shiv heard the yelling, the calls out from the the man working on the yard. He didn't need more than that. His eyes couldn't see out that far anyways. It was better to take a sharp eyed mans words for it when you weren't sure of what was going on yourself. He ran down the length of the ship, trying ...

Shiv hummed and sang snatches of song as he climbed through the rigging, checking the ropes to make sure they were all in good shape. No fraying so far, which was a good thing being out in the ocean. He didn't want to spend his time running new ropes up the mast. The ship, which he had been told it ...
