Guybrush took a deep breath before telling his story
Guybrush : You see… It all started back years ago when I was prove myself as a Pirate back in Mélée Island. I-
Tam-Tam : Hum no offense dear, but I’m not sure we needed to go that far back…
Guybrush : Why yes actually ! Because it was already back then that I meet the BANE of my existence : The Ghost Pirate Lechuck !!
Morgana suddenly unsleave her daggers in a loud « Shling » sound ; Darious cut her off immediatly
Darious : MORGANA !!!
Morgana : What ?! Dont tell me you’re gonna swallow that « Bull » !!
Leeko : I’m kinda with Morgana on that one… I mean « Ghost Pirates » ?! I find that hard to believe…
Guybrush : Well believe it or not, it is actually what happend !! I didnt knew it at the time but ,by inadvertence, I meddled into Lechuck’s scheme to kidnap the Governor Elaine Marley!!!
Mila : So this is the Elaine you were talking about ? Your wife ?
Guybrush ( in a passionate tone) : Oh yes ! Indeed ! Since the day I seen her, my life had never been the same… She’s is the woman of my life ! The muse of my dreams ! My second half on the seas !! My « Plunder-Bunny » !!
Tam-tam : Awww ! this is so romantic !!!
Morgana didn’t bother to answer, just mimicking throwing up…
Guybrush : But Lechuck had none of this ! He just wanted Elaine for himself and didnt take « NO ! » for an answer ! So for years, me and Elaine fought against him, foiling his plans and enduring his dark magic ! We tried many times to destroy him… but he always came back… That’s when we heard a few months ago, of a way to finish him for good!!
See, the people of Monkey Island had tales about three Voodoo artefacts of power : The Diskettes of Subacétô !!! Legends told that they could grant their user’s wildest wish and shape Fate ! I had the idea to use one of thoses Diskettes to empower a Voodoo Doll modelled after Lechuck, making it powerfull enough to finally kill him!
We tracked him down through a storm, and in the middle of the fight, I tried to use it… We hoped it would kill him…but it didnt worked. Instead, it seems I... ended up here, before you…
Darious looked at the young man, intrigued but tired to not showing it…
Guybrush : I do not have much on me and I dont even know where to go, but I am sure that if you help me find her, my wife will surely reward you gracefully… I am asking you Captain Darious : Could you please help me ?
A brief moment of silence took place on the ship, before being broken by Morgana…
Morgana : Can I at least throw him over-board ?
Everyone : NO !!
Morgana : OH COME ON !! We are still at port ! He will be fine !!
Darious : Well, as sad and touching as your story is, Mister Keep-Hook –
Guybrush : Threepwood.
Morgana : Whatever.
Darious : - it is quite hard for me to take a decision with so little evidences of its veracity… Do you have any proofs backing your tale ? ANY ? what-so-ever ?
Guybrush : Well yes actually !! Look !
The man searched for a moment his coat to reveal a weird looking doll, stabbed with niddles…
Mila : Is… is that a Voodoo Doll ?
Guybrush : Well yes, as a matter of fact, it IS a Voodoo Doll ! The one I just talked about !! give me a moment…
Guybrush opened the chest of the toy, searching the herbs and hay inside, to reveal a little golden coin
Guybrush : -And look ! Here’s the Diskette ! It is still inside !!
Darious ( shocked): No… It can’t be…
Darious’s eyes widen when he saw the golden coin in the hand of the Pink-skinned stranger… it was a way too familliar sight…
Darious ( eagered) : Young man ; Can I have a closer look to it ?
Guybrush : Ooooh I dont know… This is supposedly a very powerfull Voodoo Artefact ; thoses things shouldn’t be handle-
Darious : GIVE ME THAT !!!
Darious abruptly took the coin of Guybrush’s grap ; a very unusual attitude for an hound like him…
Guybrush (trying to play it « cool ») : well alright then ;you can have it for a bit I suppose; I dont mind…
Darious then take his own coin from his coat and then… What he saw put him in awe and dread…
The two small golden coins were almost identical to one and other…
The only way to distinguish the 2 was that the so called « Diskette » didnt have the familliar phrase « Become what you Seek » written on the back…
It couldn’t be a counterfeit ! The similarities were too numerous ! Plus the newer coin… « Felt so right » alongside her sister…
Darious’s mind got assaulted with questions of all sorts ; his thoughts started to mingle together into a maddening mess !
It’s only Morgana’s voice who brought Darious back into reality…
Morgana : Darious ! Please dont tell me…
Darious ( showing the coins) : I’m sorry Morgana but… The resemblances cant be deny… There is no coincidences…
Morgana : Darious ; No ! We cant recruit anyone who just happend to have a coin similar to ours !! I mean First a scrawny cartographer, then a little merchant girl then a Tavern Wench and now a Freak-show Escapee ?!!!
Darious : You CANT deny Fate!
Morgana : For all we know, he could be just Dead Weight on us!!!
Guybrush : Ahah ! That is were you are wrong, my lady !! You have before you one of the best Sword-Duelist in the world, an Treasure hunter experienced with mystical relics and ancient curses AND one of the few persons alive who can hold his breath underwater for more than 10 minutes !!!
Leeko : How is that last one ever usefull ?
Darious : … How many of thoses « Diskettes » did you said exist ?
Guybrush : Rumors told there were 4 but me and Elaine debunked them to count only 3 : The one you are holding, my wife is in possession of another and the location of the third is unknown….
Darious took a pause before talking again
Darious : Mister ‘Wood ; if we are to collaborate, I’ll have to be honest : me and my crew are looking for… « simillar coins » to youres… and I personally believe that we didnt meet by chance : Our Quests seem to be linked ! So I’ll at least accept you on my ship and among my crew for now….
Mila give a friendly smile and pet Guybrush shoulder while Guybrush sigh of relief
Darious : But before I engage myself or my crew on the search for your wife Elaine, I need to be certain that I can trust you ! So if you manage to help us find one of the Coins on our next stop, I’ll consider your request ! In the meantime, you are welcome on « The Pirate’s Fate » as a guest …
Guybush : Oh thank you sir ! I promise you wont regret it !!
Darious give Guybrush back the coin as Mila and Guybrush exchange a smile
Darious : Now everyone at your post ! We will depart tonight ! And with luck, we will reach our destination by morning !!
Everyone : Aye Aye Captain !!
Everyone goes to their respective post, with Guybrush following Mila and Morgana still keeping on the stranger a gaze so bitter and grim that it could cut butter….
