It was one of the more boring days on the Dutchman. Captain wouldn't let us go anywhere, though he said he'd be more then happy to let me off the ship to go home. However, I had just stopped by the house yesterday, and assured him I was perfectly fine. He slouched away. I didn't know the Captain did that. Hm.

Anyway, I meandered around the ship, and saw the perfect opportunity to cause some mayhem. It was Whip, and furthermore, he was unattended! I crouched down, and scanned the deck for Jimmy. I couldn't see him, so I ran over, grabbed Whip, and ran off.

As I was looking over my shoulder, I ran smack into Greenbeard. "Ah, I'm sorry!" Greenbeard rolled his one visible eye. "Now, if you'll excuse me." I made to slip around him, but he grabbed my arm. "What are ye doing NOW?" The sarcasm was evident in his voice. I racked my brains. "Well, you see, I have come into the possession of a certain article that is of value to a certain Bo'sun, so, you see, I am running. Away." I pointed in the direction I was going. He tried to make sense of my blithering, and then shook his head. "What?" "I'm running away and hiding from Jimmy because I have Whip!" I held it up for him to see. "Toodles."

I took off again, this time headed for the hold. When I got down there, I hid behind a crate. Now I simply had to wait until Jimmy discovered Whip was missing, and then the chase would be on for real. Niko walked by, and spotted my hat. "Jen? What the hell are ye-" I grabbed his arm and yanked him down, hissing "SHUT UP IF YOU WISH TO LIVE!" He gave me a look. I rolled my eyes, sighed, and held up Whip again. "I have Whip, and am hiding from Jimmy." The look he was giving me turned into a very evil smile. "Heh." He sat down next to me, and I mimed for him to be silent. "What?" I sighed. "Don't say anything!" He shrugged. "Alright."

Just then, we heard shouting from above. "WHERE IS IT?" We snickered simultaneously. "WHERE'S WHIP? I'LL KILL THE BLOODY SCOUNDREL WHO STOLE MY-" He was cut off. "Oh really now?" We shared a confused look, and then my eyes widened. "Damn you, Greenbeard!" Niko turned to me. "What?" "I ran into Greenbeard...literally...out on deck." "Well then." We heard heavy footsteps come down the stairs, and then there was Jimmy's silhouette was in doorway. "We're screwed." Jimmy walked towards us in a very leisurely fashion.

After about ten seconds, I just couldn't take it anymore. "HERE! TAKE WHIP BACK, YOU'RE REALLY SCARING ME!" I jumped up and threw Whip at him. "NOT AS MUCH I WILL BE IN A MINUTE!" I bolted out of the hold, screaming at the top of my lungs, with Jimmy on warpath after me.

"So why didn't you get whipped?" I sat carefully next to Niko. He shrugged. "Because I was only guilty by association." Captain was passing by, so I complained to him. "Why did I get whipped? I'm not part of the crew!" He stopped. "Ye live on here, don't you?" I shrugged as best I could. "Essentially." "Then what applies to the others applies to ye as well." He walked away. I thought this over. "Dammit!"
