OP: Nautilus - And to answer your previous question, one poops in the other one's mouth.

Jigen falls prey to sea sickness and is puking like Vince. Murray has sea dysentery. Like flu and stays in bed. Vince doesn't have the means to heal him. In the horizon opposite the horrible thing is a sea mountain some times referred to as an island. There's no real dock, but there's houses on the hills. Teila puts on her human skirt! We could row out to the island. Abigail "We have rowboats? *looks* So we do!" Is there such a thing as land sickness? What do pirates do on land? Let's bury things! Flashback: Abigail set deck on fire Teila freaked out and put it out with a Jaki who puffed and exploded. Oh yeah! We are the captain! No one will ever suspect me of not being a human now! Abigail finds a small chest and and fills it with money and grabs paper to make a map. Rhys talks Abigail into waiting at night. Heavily religious. Vince says no pirates so Abigail puts the chest in her jaki sack. Crash land upon the desert island. It's humid and slightly warm and sandy. Abigail makes landmarks for her map. 30 paces to the sticks shaped like a triangle. Where all your flint and tinder needs. Roughly a mile into forest there is shinto stairs. Pedestal with a lady crosslegged all indian like. Teila notices that four of the statues have a non notice statue. Looks like jade. "Whatcha lookin' at?" "Shinies.. wait no. I'd climb up there, but I'm human." Rhys totally fails at restraint and grabs the necklace so fast he doesn't know it. And then blanks. I want one! Climb up and get it. She can't, she's human. Shut up. I am. Unless someone tells Teila that wearing a village's religious artifact isn't a good idea, she's going to wear the necklace. Humans are weird. I mean I am weird! Cody is ahead whistling. Vince is behind. "See it's land sickness!" "Shut up, Teila." "Fluffles is tired." "Shut up, Abigail." Marking it on the map. 1 grandliney 2 grandliney. Stair railings are carved in a reptilian pattern. Emblems of the religious symbols up the steps. "Hey Vince... I don't like stairs." Aww I lost count. We'll have to go back to the bottom. "I just thought of something... we're gonna have to go back down." "Screw that I will die up here. I climbed it, now I live here." Teila sits on the top step. "Chicks don't walk much." "My human legs are inadequate." Abigail makes a jaki mattress. Vince falls. "Right here. This is where I live. Under where I am." Big giant statue. Two snakes eating each other's tails. We have lunch of meatcakes. They're not very good. Smaller stairs go around the big statue. Teila cries. Tiny elderly man slowly walks down stairs. Abigail adds "Greet old man" to the map. Shrine of Saturnine. "What brings you to our village?" "He lives here now." Something else could have brought us? o_O Greg is a bit closer than distantly. Abigail notices his length. "Visitors come to the shrine to seek wisdom. Or they're pirates." "We're pirates!" "Well then you came to seek treasure. We don't have any." "That's cool. I brought some!" "We only have clothes and our homes. If you steal my clothes, keep in mind you will have to see me naked." "We're not going to steal your clothes." "Look, we brought those too!" Log post takes at least several days to set. "I thought you meant real snakes. For a moment I almost peed myself. In fact I might have done so. I would really not recommend stealing my clothes now." Giant serpent is our sacred animal. "Aww we didn't bring ours." "What?" What happens if one poops? Did the snake help carving the stairs? Snakes don't have hands. That is true. And to answer your previous question, one poops in the other one's mouth. The woman is Saturnine, our goddess. She does god stuff. She watches us and created everything good. What about the bad? I dunno. Teila wants to assimilate this guy into our crew. Up stairs. Most stuff carved out of white rock. People try to steal this? It's kinda dumb. But if you climbed up all those stairs, you need a souvenir. Houses modestly furnished, only fountain stairs and statues are fancy. Ampitheater stadium seats all around and a water flows around it. People wearing mostly white crappy clothing and are friendly. Grove of forest small farming land. "This is the tallest I've ever been." More stairs? Nope, an elevator. Up a tower. See whole island. Shows, dancing, fighting, something with animals. Abigail will make big puppets and put on a show. Rear Admiral Dick Johnson. Used to have snake shows, but the snake got stolen. How did that happen? Someone fed him a fruit. Sometimes snakes are big. Sometimes they're a goat. Abigail and Teila :D! We have one of those! What!? The goat looks at you as if to say I'm a fucking snake! Slavers stole our sacred animal. Yeah, they stole us too. What? We can take the slide down! And Tim can take us up. He's a giant chicken. It's a slide covered in fabric. Old man jumps. Cody dives face first. Teila tucks in her tentacles up in her skirt so they don't get stuck.. that would suck a lot. Rhys is gonna make a surfboard of wood. Vince: I should have taken the slide. Rhys forgot about him. He slumps down. This is my new address. He stumbles his way to the slide. The slide is AWESOME :D. Cody wants to ride the rooster. Rhys takes his board down the stairs. It's BUMPY. Hits the bottom of the stairs and careens at 500mph into the forest with no way of steering. He barely jumps off before the boat is severed by a tree. He turns ferret and is a cigarette tossed out the window on the highway. And ends. Alive. A mile into the forest. "Hey Murray. Kay's a god. An old man's here to see him." Rhys gets to the beach. The row boat is gone. He curls up in a ball and sleeps. Old man: "Oh my god." Literally. Watercolor: split screen of Rhys asleep on beach with a giant chicken pecking at him. The rest of the crew in a room with a dying man and an old man hugging a goat looking awkward. And it pans out to see Vince passed out at the top of the stairs. Where he lives.
