The Quagmire-Baudelaire switch part 11
The Quagmires get greeted by a submarine
And hears a man ask for the password
”VFD?” ”The world is quiet here?” ”Quagmires?”
The submarine opens and they climb in
So they are instantly greeted by a weird smiling man
It’s captain widdershins! And he talks like this! Everyone hates him but I enjoyed how he talked like this! Aye aye! I was a weird kid! But I found him more funny than annoying! Forgive me!
He introduces them to his stepdaughter Fiona
And all three of the triplet’s minds had a lowkey panic because WOW Fiona was in good shape
And that tight suit too...
And the first thing she says is literally ”shiver me timbers” in a kind of flirting way
Phil does not do much more rather than smile and be optimistic :)
Anyway Fiona gives them a short tour and then gives them uniforms
Isadora almost starts posing in her uniforms because it feels like her you know? Maybe she’s found her style
Then they have dinner and Phil actually begs them for help because he can’t do much more than get gum
So the triplets teamwork to make some potato and garlic soup
Captiain Widdershins is like ”You are so great at cooking! I should have let you come here a long time ago! Maybe adopt you! But let’s not rush! Maybe Duncan can marry Fiona! Just joking! But he who hesitates is lost!”
Duncan justs stands there in panic because he doesn’t know how to cope with someone suggesting he should marry someone he has known for an hour
And Fiona just corrects Widdershins, ”and she”.
The next day, everyone researchers pretty much all day
The Widdershins explain that they are on a mission for VFD to retrive the sugar bowl
Fiona also explains later that she is a mycologist
Which makes Isadora instantly come up with a poem to impress her
”Every human even with one eye, will spot and seek for fungi”
She then hides her face because she felt it was bad but Fiona just giggles
Then they find the gorgonian grotto
And all the children head off
They search the grotto but just finds the medysoid mycelium
When they are back they realise neither Widdershins or Phil is seen anywhere
Then they hear a clunck! And down comes a hee hee ha ha
Olaf and Esme walk around the sub and makes these weird giggle noises
Carmelita finds the triplets in hiding the storage room, which makes all three of them make an internal facepalm because she of all people found them
They get lead to the octupus submarine and witnesses all the snow scouts rowing for their lives
Anyway Quigley had trouble talking off his helmet so it’s still on
This is when he realises there’s green spots on it
Isadora and Duncan freak out
The hook handed man sees this and after a long discussion he agrees to let them atleast escape to save Quigley
Quigley is very confused since the hookhand man never cared before??
Anyway they scream to all the snow scouts to run, which causes chaos
Also Carmelita is as mad as you can be because someone ruined her recidal
They meet up with Fiona at the Queequeg
And all of them just resarches about any cure
Quigley just coughs and tells them to hurry
He then just mumbles ”try... substitutions” which was something he remembers from the night before when they had to use white garlic instead of red
They feed him wasabi and he instantly feels better
But they force him to go and rest, much to his dismay because he wants to help
So the hook handed man comes and Fiona hugs him ”Fernald!! <3”
Isadora and Duncan are hella confused
Fernald explains the situations but they are still not happy because of that
Then Olaf comes and yells at them for not being in the brig
Fiona distracts him with the medysoid mycelium in Quigley’s helmet
So he gets happy and almost goes up
Before telling her to bring the Quagmires too
This is when Fiona lets them escape
Duncan and Isadora feel a little betrayed but understands her
Fiona kisses both of them. She tells them to close their eyes
”Duncan, I am sure some things here will be useful for your journalism”
”Isadora, I know you are full of emotions and thoughts. Maybe this can help you a little.”
She leaves with a last ”aye aye” and climbs up
Duncan and Isadora start to cry while Quigley wakes up and wonder what the heck happened
”I have never in my life needed to write down things in my notebook as much as now” Duncan sniffs
”I have known all along and now I just got it confirmed” Isadora says, which just confuses the hell out of her brothers
But they have a faith idea what she could be reffering to?
Anyway the great unknown has found them so they need to dash Queepeg out of there
Eventually they find themselves on Briny Beach where mr Poe finds them
He wonders where in the world they have been and begs them to follow him
”Don’t argue with me.” Poe argues
The taxi driver is a woman who says she’s looking for the Quagmires
”Leave us alone!” Quigley yells at mr Poe
”Are you going to get into the taxi?” the woman asks and the triplets nod
”You can’t jump into a strangers taxi!” Mr Poe says desperately
”Fuck you, Mr Poe.” Isadora yells as a last word. ”I wish you nothing but sorrows and woes”
Ok I kind of forgot to mention the telegram part so now Kit just appears ready to retrieve the Quagmires. Which also could work. As always, hope you liked it
