Tusks and Treasures

Welcome aboard the Ocean's Howl! My name be Tau'fon, and AH BE de captain 'round here!

[idiopathicsmile]

researching 17th century piracy tonight. came across this:

One popular pastime amongst pirates was the mock trial.  Each man played a part be it jailer, lawyer, judge, juror, or hangman.  This sham court arrested, tried, convicted, and “carried out” the sentence to the amusement of all. (x)

how widespread could this have really been? how would it have gotten passed from ship to ship? can you imagine a pirate crew at a tavern, bragging to another pirate crew about how good they are at playing pretend? why was their go-to game “legal system”? were they performing incisive satire? is this some sort of pirates-only inside joke that’s been lost to the ages?

[idiopathicsmile]

update: the mock-charge in the mock-trial was piracy

they used to pretend to try each other for piracy

as a stress relief

[roachpatrol]

ok but it’s got to have been a lot of fun to be the pirate defense lawyer, for the pirate accused of piracy, to attempt to argue to the pirate judge, in front of a jury of pirate peers, that your client could not possibly be a pirate

"I could kill you right now!" ((from Tau if it's not too late))

((Never too late! <3))

T’saij squinted his eyes a little, wrinkling his mouth.

“Kill? Nah, there there, ya don’t wanna kill me” he hummed softly, offered a small smirk and purred: “Imagine how borin’ yer life would be without me makin’ in interestin’. Besides, who said Ah won’t let ya share the treasure, eh?”

((From this.))

[tusksandtreasures]

Tau’fon pouted and stared at the other troll, even squinting some. Eventually he just sighed, his ears dipping in defeat. All the same, he poked T’saij’s chest.

“Joo n’ dat purrin’..ya lucky ya cute. Aye, aye, fine, ah COULD kill ya...but ah won’t. How’s dat?” A crooked grin graced his lips, the troll tilting his head. “If ah did dat, half o’ Azerot’ would wanna come in n’ avenge ya. But a pirate dat SHARES....hmph...just don’t short change me, or ya might be missin’ ya hand.” He didn’t have Captain Stormcrow’s reputation or following, but he wasn’t going to be a COMPLETE pushover. “Ya make life interestin’, but seems ya can also be a right pain in de arse.”

[tusksandtreasures]

((Back when I first started this blog, I was required by thedovahcat to post the Pirate Song. Now that WoW is going to have a patch where Tau can have his own ship....I feel a re-post is mandatory, but of a different version of the song.))

“Raise your glasses amigos, for my dear friend, facemesirrah“

Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme Come lift up your voices in chorus with mine Come lift up your voices, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

So here’s a health to the company and one to my lass Let’s drink and be merry all out of one glass Let’s drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

Here’s a health to the wee lass that I love so well For style and for beauty there’s none can excel There’s a smile on her countenance as she sits upon my knee There is no man in this wide world as happy as me

So here’s a health to the company and one to my lass Let’s drink and be merry all out of one glass Let’s drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again

Our ship lies at anchor, she is ready to dock I wish her safe landing without any shock And if ever I should meet you by land or by sea I will always remember your kindness to me

So here’s a health to the company and one to my lass Let’s drink and be merry all out of one glass Let’s drink and be merry, all grief to refrain For we may or might never all meet here again…

“AHAAAA! Now dis be what ah talkin’ about!”

[captainstormcrow-deactivated201]

From Tau'fon: "Ya be a pretty impressive individual, Captain. Heh, seems ya be real popular, too."

T’saij smirks mischievously.

“Must be m’ adorable nature” he purrs.

[tusksandtreasures]

“Adorable….? Ah could agree wit’ dat.” Tau smirks and shakes his head. “Y’know, ah like ya, we need ta share a drink more.”

[captainstormcrow-deactivated201]

“Ah agree, that would be very much to m’ likin’. Ah like ya” he hummed happily, wiggling his pipe slowly up and down.

[tusksandtreasures]

“Aye, ah find ah rat’er like ya as well….” Tau’s smirk grew, raising an eyebrow and reaching up to twirl his own beard. “Den….what be ya favorite, den? Rum? Bourbon? Or perhaps a nice red wine…?”

[captainstormcrow-deactivated201]

“Wine” T’saij smiled and purred merrily: “Ah have been drinkin’ one seaful of rum and Ah don’t really like it that much.”

[tusksandtreasures]

“O’ course, o’ course. Ah got some dat ah got recently. High Elf. Willin’ ta crack open a bottle o’ dat? Maybe get ta kno eachot’er a lil’ better...?” Tau’s smirk widened and a brow arched. “Not’in’ up my sleeve, n’ no catch.”
