Description
The follow-up/retaliation to this: [link](And my 3rd and final submission before Jan.1!)
For those who don’t understand what is going on, this is another Urban Pirate Dragon crew piece. I was actually writing a little written piece to go before this, but due to business, procrastination, and forgetfulness, it did not get done. So, in summation:
RzR (pronounced ‘Ar-zer’ ) lost his coat in our fight.
We claimed it.
We got an awesome idea to use the coat to lure him in.
He came to retrieve his coat.
The coat was booby-trapped with a bag of my glue, and somehow, RzR’s ninja-ness did not manage to save him from getting plastered.
So now we have RzR trapped with his tail in a chunk of my glue (for mobility! Having his feet stuck to the ground would mean we’d have to keep moving the ship so he could get to everything), cleaning the Ninja Gryphon graffiti that he did not cause off of our beloved ship The Burninator. Because even though he wasn’t responsible, there really is no good excuse for a ninja to have fallen for such an obvious trap.
Pirates rule, RzR. Pirates rule.
By the way, Yubria and Doodles are off-screen trying to clean off RzR’s coat. It’s coated in my glue-spit, which is why RzR is not wearing it. I have bottles of special solvent I’ve made up that can be used to dissolve the glue without my having to stand around spitting on the object, but it’s probably still gonna take them a while. (For those who’ve forgotten, the dissolving fluid for my glue is my own spit. I basically mixed it with water in a spray bottle and said, “Here, spritz it a couple dozen times, rinse, and repeat.” )
Hey, I’m not gonna make the guy clean off our ship AND lose his coat to permanent stickiness. Plus it’s a cool trenchcoat. (I know, I’m way too nice to be a pirate. But we never said we were the world’s most effective pirates. ;D)
And I’m standing guard so that, if RzR tries to break free from his gluey tail bondage, I can morph to Full Form and spack a whole lot more on him. I’m willing to bet he’ll just go ahead and clean off the ship, as it is the lesser of two injustices.
Other inside jokes:
-We have long since decided that at some point, Cheeko, our not-a-ninja crewmember, would try to steal Captain Mav’s hotdog. I am immensely pleased that I was at last able to portray it.
-Wing’s Full Form! She is only a foot long in her Dragonflye form, and it was the most wonderfully convenient way to get another crewmember into the picture! Obviously, I tried to fit in as many as I could. ;D And Wings, I would like to formally declare that I know next to nothing about knitting, so you have my deepest apologies for any mutilation I have done to proper knitting form.
-Dragonrise/Jess’s tail. Jess is the lookout, so it made sense that she might actually be up on the mast ‘looking out’. And so we see her lovely tail.
-The Gryphon Ninjas strike again! Our arch-nemesis is devious, spray-painting our beloved Burninator with ninja propaganda in the night!
I am very pleased with how this came out; everyone looks more or less right!
And that is all! Hope you guys enjoy!
Have an AWESOME 2010, you guys! LONG LIVE THE URBAN PIRATE DRAGONS! /o/

XD Good point. On both counts.
Beef, of course! Although I did have an excellent set of apple/turkey hotdogs a few months ago. MMmmmm...
Thanks for the comment! ^^

Indeed.
See, in England all the hotdogs are made of pork, and I can't eat them because they give me indigestion, I'd never heard of beef hotdogs until recently.
You're welcome

Weird. I don't think I've ever...wait. Y'know, I'm suddenly not sure WHAT our hotdogs are made of. I think they could be either. Or both.

I still think of Teal'c whenever I say indeed. I do the eyebrow, even (although it was James Bond that inspired me to learn to move my eyebrows independently in the first place)
What do they taste like they're made of? Only time I've had them they taste like bacon (that was before I knew I couldn't eat pork).

Dude, I don't know. Hotdogs only taste like hotdogs. It's only when they're made of chicken or turkey or somehting that they taste like something other than just hotdogs. I dont recall them tasting like bacon, though, so I am preeeetty sure they are beef. But one can never tell with American hotdogs.

Well, the UPD have been doing the usual, causing general havoc and destruction. Destroying Post Offices. Hunting ninjas.
I have a UPD comic that's been 1/2 done for ages but that I lost a couple months ago. I just found it again two days ago while cleaning my room SO expect that up soon!
How has life been outside of dA?

Oh, goodie. Nice to know that they haven't all vanished while I've been gone. ^^ I actually drew one or three pictures of dragon-me in relation to the UPD, so expect those sometime.
Huzzah! \o/ UPD comics are always wonderful. And how convenient that you found it just now. ;D
Life has been pretty good! I'm actually very glad that I'm not as ingrained in internet stuff as I used to be. Lol, I actually have been to several of my old favorite webcomics and found that they've either stagnated and gotten dumb, so that's really helping me catch up. I'm taking a few college classes right now - sitting in the library as I type, in fact - going for an English major. And, yeah. Stuff. Life as usual. It's been pretty good, but it's nice to be able to converse w/ people on here again. How was your year?

YAY! It'll be fun to start working my UPD chops again. I've been slacking a bit... -whistles innocently, then blames the undead squirrel-
I can understand why you took a step back from teh intarrrwebs. Sometimes we get so absorbed in technology that we miss out on other things. So kudos to you! Huzzah! -waves pompoms merrily- It's nice to have you back, though. Every once in a while I would have a random dragon-related thought and think to myself, "I wonder how Riv is doing..."
And then I'd see something shiny and forget what I was doing. But still. You were missed.
YAY English major! That sounds like fun, assuming the papers don't turn your brain to mush. I practically lived in the campus library when I was a student and would camp out in the Art History section, poking passers-by with sticks. Fun times.
As for me, ummmmm, in the past year I've graduated from college (w00t!) and was hired right out of the gate by that same college to teach LAT 101 to poor, unsuspecting undergraduates. Half of my students were older than I was, haaaaa... Oh, and I somehow ended up in a band. Still not sure how that happened, but our bassist is trying to convince everyone that we should call ourselves the "Daytime Strippers".
...
I still haven't formulated an adequate response to that.

For shame, Mav, blaming the undead squirrel already! It only just got here, after all! You’ll give it a complex!
It is true. Like sleep. Sleep especially gets missed out on a lot when one is addicted to the intarrrwebs.
Aw, thanks, Mav. That’s nice to hear. I thought about you guys a lot, too; in fact, I drew a pic of my dragonsona sulking in front of the computer. XD I’ll try to post it as soon as I can get it scanned.
And no worries; shiny things get the best of us. ;D
Uuugh they probably will. But I’m in a Creative Writing class right now, so at least for a little while longer it will be fun! (Pffff. XD *imagines you lurking in the library with a stick*)
Whoo-hoo, congrats! I am soooo far away from that, but Kudos to you. XD Dude, you teach Latin? Or is LAT something else? That would be very cool if you knew Latin.
XD I love that you don’t know how you got in a band. What do you play?
….>.<
I know how you can respond to him! You can say “No” very firmly and hit him on the head with something suitably painful yet non-lethal. Phonebooks are excellent resources for just such occasions.

Hahaha! I want to see this drawing of you sulking before the computer! I can just envision my dragonsona trying to pull you in through the screen.
Ahhh, Creative Writing! That's much more fun than all that... other stuff. Good luck, either way. You may borrow my poking stick, if you'd like.
lol, yes, "LAT" = Latin. Hoo-wah! One of my profs retired my senior year and URI needed a couple of adjuncts to take her place (since they're too stingy to hire another full-time prof. pfffft) so my OTHER Latin prof recommended me, and voila! I had a job! It was wonderfully convenient, really. My students tried to form a petition to have me teach LAT 102 as well, which was kind of awesome, but I'm still low-man on the totem pole and there weren't enough classes for me, sooo I have the spring semester off. Alas...
Haaaa, well, first off I was playing keyboard, but somehow I ended up the lead-singer... Not sure how that happened either. -siiiigh- Our guitarist has perfect pitch and is crazy talented when it comes to writing music, so he's been turning some of my old poems into songs, which is *amazing*!
....and then we ad-libbed a song about cake. Yeah. Our bassist has gone on to suggest the name "Confiscake" instead. Oy.
"Painful yet non-lethal", eh? Excellent advice, my friend. Excellent advice.

I shall post it, then! I also have the original pic I drew of Cheeko in her Pirate-Ninja outfit, which shall also go up soon, if not today. Aaand a dragon-centaur-me…the only other one was me running up some stairs, but that one isn’t finished yet, so it’ll be a while.
Poking sticks are good, except that I’m the one who probably needs to be poked. XD So mayhaps I should steer clear of such implements.
Dude, that is awesome that you know Latin. Enough to teach a class, even? Color me impressed, Mav. ^^ (And hey, some of the abbreviations for college courses make SO LITTLE SENSE, so I figured it would be good to make sure. XD) That is awesome that you have a steady job and that your students like you. Hopefully they’ll be willing to let you teach that other class in the future.
Pfff. XD Things seem to just sort of happen to you, don’t they, Mav? And apparently they are all good things, you blessed person. ;D Oh man, that is so cool! If you guys ever record any of your songs, put them online so that we can hear them. My friend YamiRedPen has done that a few times.
Heee that is great. XD Ad-libbed songs are the best ever. I love silly songs; I’ve written about twenty of them, myself. I’m especially proud of my most recent one, which is tentatively entitled, “The Ballad of the Blarney Duck.”
…Owww…
Hmm…Painful But Non-Lethal would be an interesting band name…although you would need to be a heavy-metal band if you didn’t want people to get the wrong idea…

You win some and you lose some, my friend. I led you on a merry chase last time, so now we're even. I'll just be more careful next time, and try to avoid being seen when I'm out on errands.
Besides, by making me clean your beloved ship, you have unwittingly placed me in a very good position. >3

Because I couldn't find a convenient way to fit you into the picture! But if you want a more LOGICAL reason...I'm guarding the prisoner, Jess is on lookout duty, Mav is the captain (and thus gets to delegate), Wings had to stay behind when during the chase scene, and Cheeko conveniently disappeared when the job was being given out. Plus you have all the laundry supplies stored in your purse, no doubt!
I'm sure he can't, either. ;D
