    You fail to do so as it has already been slain by MUCH BLINKING.

    You check over the guy's bleeding pre-looted corpse, and amazingly enough, if he had an Inventory Ring on him, it's been looted. Time to move on before it starts decomposing.

    You head over to another corpse and wait a minute, people put those thinks through their noses? There's no way in hell you're looting it if it comes from there. Either way, this guy looks slightly different from the other bodies you've found.

    He's a bit older, some grey coming into his hair, and his clothes are a bit lighter in shade than the other guys. A higher rank? Either way, he's got a cuirass on that's pretty much wrecked, bashed, broken, pierced in a couple of places, and covered in blood. Not very appealing. Nothing on his ears, but you rifle through his pockets, and he's got a pretty normal inventory ring, which you quickly check the contents of.

    Let's see, some crossbow bolts, the crossbow itself missing, probably used in the battle, a few metal dice with some symbols scribbled onto them, a spatula, a couple of knives, clean change of clothes, some boots, and that's pretty much it. You guess he kept most of his good stuff at home or something. You pocket the bolts and dice, along with the knives, since the dice probably explode or something, and one can never have enough knives, but you leave his clothes on him, since they probably wouldn't fit anyway.

    With the corpse looted, you get back up, and hope that you didn't get any blood on you.

    What will you do?
    Your chumhandle is tracedSparks and you have no idea why you even have a chumhandle, as you have no chums who use Pesterchum.
    You also have a text adventure that is always open to commands, LandLost.

    You would like to say that that makes perfect sense, but you would be lying to yourself. Your brain is weird sometimes. Well, most of the time, anyway. Still, it's not like there's a shortage of cadavers to join the corpse party, so you're not sure what the point of dragging around this husk would be.

    What will you do?

    You've been screwing around doing nothing in particular for too long. You decide to head downstairs to where the crate-people were, and as you approach it, you hear arguing coming from inside, mostly female voices. Looks like most of the Hags are awake.

    "...So leave before anyone gets any stupid ideas, got it?"

    "You think we're just going to take commands from some pirate like you?"

    "I'm telling you to get on with your damn lives. You've got nothing worth stealing, so-"

    "Oh, so you've checked, have you? Clearly I should just take orders from you from now on-"

    "Um, maybe we should just take his advice and-"

    "Hey, has anyone seen where-"

    "We are not going to let him order us around, he should be glad I'm not just-"

    "-Went, since I can't see her here-"

    "Oh would you just shut the fuck up already?"

    You walk in, and while the arguing doesn't completely stop, you've definitely gotten some attention.

    "Look, you're not dead, and we don't want the ship, so just take it and get out already, to whatever magical land you call home, ok?"

    The woman who was apparently the one arguing with Jack Scott turns around to face you. She's definitely one of the oldest there, and she's wearing the same thing as that one crazy dream lady thing.

    "Well, another one who-"

    "Oh, just let us go, ok? It's not wonder we got attacked when you keep acting like that."

    Oh, thank god, someone sane. The first Hag turns to face you with a I'm definitely going to murder you over this later look, and tries to start asserting her authority, but you appear to have broken her stride, and by now the rest of the Hags had had enough of her, and proceed to ignore her, while a couple of other Hags proceed to negotiate with Jack. Well, crisis averted. You guess they just have really shitty management since they don't all appear to be assholes.

    What will you do?

    You woke up right about the time that someone yelling at everyone to shut the fuck up pierced your dreams, you reluctantly pulled yourself up. Up until you had your dream ruined, it was pretty nice. A bit more vivid than usual, but nothing too special.

    You look around the busy room and wait a minute, that woman looks familiar hang on, she's that one young lady who ruined your dream! And killed your pony. And smashed your head into the ground. And repeatedly applied her boot forcefully to your head. She's even wearing the same clothes! What the hell is going on?

    What will you do?

    "You, come over here."

    You say to a random insubordinate, who quickly complies.

    "I want you to closely monitor that pirate girl. Spy on her if you have to."

    "Um, why? And aren't we leaving in a minute-"

    "Just do it, and don't report back to me until we leave or she tries something."

    "Tries what?"

    You decline to answer and instead shove her as far as you can, which, given your age and general lack of physical ability, isn't far, but it's enough to get her on the job. While there are a lot of people who can walk through dreams, this one didn't sound like she was doing it deliberately, and didn't seem to hold any control over your dreams, which means she's either inexperienced or stupid. Either way, she managed to get into your mind without you detecting her by your defenses, which warrants investigation in any case.

    Now that that's done, what will you do?

    OK YOU'VE GOT THIS UNDER CONTROL NO PARADOXES HERE JUST HAVE TO STABILISE EVERYTHING

    Ok, you think you've got this right. Hopefully this'll be a bit smoother next time. Still, this is a landmark in your experiment, and you're sure that there haven't been any side effects. Nope, nothing at all.

    Nah, they're just arguing about the group of smugglers that had been captured and revealed to be part of a much bigger scheme that they didn't know much about to be exact and may be under threat of assassination due to screwing up their job since they may just be the beginning of a massive operation. Nothing too important.

    You are now those two guys, also known as Briar and Masterson, and you are BALLS-DEEP in conspiracy. There is so much conspiracy up in this bitch that you don't know what to do with it. Which is why you went to your commanding officer, who is currently figuring out the correct course of action. You fell back to your regular course of action, which is arguing about things. Again. You decided to cut it short this time, since you really didn't have much to argue about right now.
