In light of complaints regarding lack of participation in the running RR's, I thought this might be worth a whirl...

This is a sort of modified Round Robin story, where each submission should fall within a range of 5-15 words and they don't necessarily need to be full sentences. (This allows some of the more long-winded of us some wiggle room in our descriptions and entries! ;) )

Hopefully we'll get more participants, because the way I see it, if you can spare a few words to post something over at the main Chat forum, you can spare a few here too!

Just a few guidelines... Let's try to keep it as clean and as on-topic as the other RR's shall we? A little silliness can be fun, but ideally, this should be a story...

Here's my entry to start. Hope this works!
:)
The chilly spray was the first thing Sam felt, as the leap?s tingling sensation subsided.
 
Takes up the Challenge

He took a deep breath of the salty air and then promptly lost his balance.
 
Re: Takes up the Challenge

"Silly girl," a gruff male voice murmured in his ear. "You'll get your sea legs yet!"

--

Eep! One word over... ACK!

Can't wait to see how this goes!

Ciao!

Re: Takes up the Challenge

As he leaned over the rail, way below, he could see white dolphin's heads.


Here's my one liner!!!
 
Re: Takes up the Challenge

Sam clutched at the rail and groaned, "Ooooohhh boy!"

--

Poor guy... I know how he feels!

Ciao!

Re: Takes up the Challenge

Sam blinked and swallowed hard as he looked up into the black eyes before him.



Hmmmm... this could be interesting... I might as well try to get involved with one RR... right?

Re: Takes up the Challenge

The man eyed him critically, "Yeah, okay," He sighed. "Come on, lets get something back into ya."

--

Argh!! One over.. AGAIN!

Ciao!

Re: Takes up the Challenge

Sam felt the strength of the man's grip as he led him away from the railing.


Adding some more... what the heck... :)
 
Re: Takes up the Challenge

"You're not suggesting I eat?" Sam said with horror, as his stomach lurched again.

Okay, here's my one liner (not an ocean liner, obviously LOL)

Re: Takes up the Challenge

This time, it got the best of him. He made a mad dash for the railing...

--

Okay.. here's something for someone to add on! One word over again... but hey... at least I stopped!

Ciao!

Re: Takes up the Challenge

His stomach suddenly emptied itself and he slowly slid to the deck in a heap.


Poor guy...
 
Re: Takes up the Challenge

Sam groaned softly and Al snickered, "Your lunch, eh?"

--

Heh heh...

Ciao!

Starting this one up again

The man he'd who'd been trying to led him before grabbed his arm again and pulled him up saying, "you know, the best thing for sea sickness is eating."
 
An aside

This reads great, but my Swiss Cheese memory recalled there being more to the original before the new postings.

Something about a young girl, and a lot more hostility between the man and the woman that Sam had leaped into (I even seem to remember a name beginning with M) and the boat being about to sink. I can't recall all the details, but I could have sworn there were far more posts than this.
Did it get lost in the big crash?

If so, no matter, we can have the fun of working on it all over again - but I'd like to know if anyone else remembers as I do, or am I just even more :wacko than I thought?
 
When his stomach was calmer, he turned around, warning, “Mention…*urp* …eating again and I swear…”

The man pulled out a bottle of whiskey, and said this is all the meat you will need for a good nights sleep... Then looked at sam and said. " Deep Sea Diving is a Tough job, if thats what you call it!"
 
“Deep sea diving?” Sam parroted, clearly startled. He glanced at the hologram, whispering “He’s joking...right?”
 
Ooc

Just a quick caution -
Right at the beginning, the man calls Sam's character "Silly girl"
Of course, not much else has been established about Sam's 'host', and 'girl' could be derogatory for a woman younger than the bully, but we need to watch for continuity.

Click to expand...

That long and we're still basically referring to her as "hey you"?! Well then I think it's high time this "silly girl" had a name! So, I'm going to step up and do just that in the post that's going to follow this one. (*g* Bold as brass tacks today, aren't I?):roflmao:

Turning his head, Sam murmured, “Who am I?”

Al asked Ziggy, responding succinctly, “Mirabella Furtado.”
 
Al States " The Man hackling you is Wayne "The saint" Montalvo Jr. He's an ex-priest who quit after an fatal accident that killed Mirabella's step sister 6 years ago. He's been "treasure Hunting" ever since. Al Says " wonder how a guy goes from being a priest to a treasure hunting whiskey drinkin pirate?"
 
Sam could hear the usual noises of Ziggy at work. "Ziggy says that there is a 87 percent chance that you're here to help him get his faith back and rejoin the priesthood," Al replied.

"Is Ziggy sure that I'm here to rescue his faith and not his life? I mean he is a heavy drinker, I could be here to solve his drinking porblem and prevent a premature death"
 
"Montalvo is killed two weeks later at sea during a storm," Al replied. "Turns out he was drunk, misread the currents, and dies after his ship crashes into some rocks."
