[20:26] * Drysart has joined #Evercrest
[20:26] * Drysart sets mode: +o Drysart
[20:26] <Judge_Parcelan> Uh oh, it's Drysart
[20:26] <Judge_Parcelan> Put away the party supplies
[20:26] <Niklas> what happened to the mouse?
[20:27] <Drysart> the little bastard took the bait while I was sleeping
[20:27] <Drysart> unfortunately I wasn't awake to catch it
[20:27] <Niklas> hehe

[21:36] <Drysart> I GOT HIM!!!
[21:36] <Drysart> DRYSART MOUSECATCHER!
[21:37] <Judge_Parcelan> How'd it go down?
[21:37] * Durga cheers!!
[21:38] <Durga> wait.. did you kill it?
[21:38] <Drysart> nope
[21:38] <Drysart> pictures incoming
[21:38] <MadCat> o_O
[21:38] <Judge_Parcelan> Now he will be your sidekick
[21:38] <Drysart> it is alive and unharmed
[21:38] <MadCat> can I have it? I'm hungry
[21:39] <Durga> yay pictures!
[21:39] <Drysart> anyway
[21:39] <Drysart> to review
[21:39] <Drysart> last night I discovered another mouse scurrying around in my study
[21:39] <Drysart> It gave me the slip though so I decided to try to lure it out
[21:39] <Judge_Parcelan> What's with this 'study' crap?
[21:39] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/1.jpg
[21:39] <MadCat> Judge_Parcelan: same as 'office' crap :P
[21:39] <Drysart> I was going to use the irresistability of potato chips to lure him out
[21:39] * Suddar has quit IRC
[21:40] * Abbikat has joined #Evercrest
[21:40] <Drysart> then I started thinking... what would I do with it when I caught it?
[21:40] <Drysart> This mouse is fated to become a pirate
[21:40] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Abbikat
[21:40] <Abbikat> mouse =o.O=
[21:40] <Durga> Yar!
[21:40] <Abbikat> ??
[21:40] <Drysart> and a pirate is no good without a ship
[21:40] <Drysart> so I made a ship for his eventual adventure
[21:41] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/2.jpg
[21:41] <Durga> Salty Chip!
[21:41] <Matilda_Jane> Are you going to poke out one of its eyes and cut off one of its legs?
[21:41] <Abbikat> USS Salty Chip? ;)
[21:41] <Drysart> well I got tired of waiting for the mouse to come out and take the bait
[21:41] <Drysart> so I went to bed.
[21:41] <Drysart> Woke up today to find the potato chip was gone
[21:41] <Teg[GOEN]> gasp
[21:41] <Durga> ohnos!
[21:41] <Matilda_Jane> Ghosts
[21:42] <Drysart> So I layed out another chip and went to my computer
[21:42] <Drysart> after a few hours I noticed something scurrying along the wall
[21:43] <Drysart> So I tracked it down and cornered it
[21:43] <Drysart> and *pop* trapped it beneath a plastic cup
[21:43] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/4.jpg
[21:43] * Durga cheers
[21:44] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/5.jpg
[21:44] <Durga> aww so cute =)
[21:44] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/6.jpg
[21:45] * Luceres is now known as Luceres|chow
[21:45] <Judge_Parcelan> He's quite photogenic
[21:45] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/7.jpg
[21:45] <Drysart> so this is it's current state right now
[21:45] <Drysart> still under the cup, with my sword as weight on top of the cup so he doesn't topple it over
[21:45] <Judge_Parcelan> What will happen to him, Sir Drysart?
[21:45] <Drysart> the sword was invaluable in cornering it, by the way.
[21:46] <Drysart> And I imagine it was quite comical that I was chasing a mouse with a broadsword
[21:46] <Abbikat> FOR GREAT JUSTICE!!
[21:46] <Judge_Parcelan> And won't the mouse suffocate?
[21:46] <Drysart> so now I'm going to fill up the sea
[21:46] * Durga chuckles
[21:46] <Drysart> and put him on his ship
[21:46] <Drysart> it's a good ship
[21:46] <Drysart> it will serve him well
[21:46] * Teg[GOEN] has quit IRC (Restart)
[21:46] <Durga> that boat won't last nong... cardboard absorbs water, dear.
[21:46] <Durga> long
[21:47] * Durga hit a practical moment...
[21:47] <Drysart> doesn't need to last long
[21:47] <Drysart> A captain always goes down with his ship
[21:47] <Judge_Parcelan> You are cruel and spiteful, Drysart
[21:47] * Kegwen has joined #evercrest
[21:47] * Abbikat wonders if the boat is going to encounter a large swirling maelstrom, and be lost with all hands (paws?)
[21:47] <Durga> the captin will swim and escape! /gasp
[21:49] <MadCat> if the captain doesn't suffocate under that cup first heh
[21:49] <Drysart> he's currently trying to dig his way out from under it
[21:49] <Drysart> it's so cute
[21:50] * Durga snickers
[21:50] <MadCat> so plonk it down outside :P
[21:50] <Drysart> after I'm done playing with him
[21:50] * Durga laughs
[21:50] <Judge_Parcelan> So, will he be set free with a warning or will he be made an example of?
[21:50] <Drysart> depends whether he survives life at sea
[21:51] <Judge_Parcelan> I think you should take pictures of this all and post it on the PETA website
[21:51] <Durga> hahaha
[21:51] <MadCat> heh
[21:51] <MadCat> fucked up, but funny
[21:51] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/8.jpg
[21:52] <Drysart> probably hard to see but he's trying to dig under the edge of the cup in that picture
[21:52] <Judge_Parcelan> He looks sleepy
[21:52] <Judge_Parcelan> You must give him a name
[21:52] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/9.jpg
[21:53] <Durga> Capt'n Mouse
[21:54] <Drysart> Now... to go prepare the seas
[21:55] * Durga hands Drys some sea salt
[21:55] * Abbikat starts humming "Down Among the Dead Men" by Flash In The Pan..
[21:56] <Durga> Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, 16 mice on a dead cat's chest.
[21:56] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/10.jpg
[21:56] <Drysart> the seas are restless
[21:57] <Judge_Parcelan> Spooge
[21:58] * leck-TeeVee is now known as leckie
[21:59] <Drysart> but the Salty Chip is a good ship and she'll serve her captain well
[21:59] * Densetsu has quit IRC (Why me?)
[21:59] * Durga grins
[22:02] <Drysart> alright.. his prison has been moved from the study to the bathroom... his voyage is about to start.... pictures coming soon
[22:22] <Drysart> his journey is complete!
[22:22] <Drysart> pictures are forthcoming
[22:22] <Abbikat> Did he go down on his ship... with... with his ship I mean ;)
[22:23] <Drysart> you'll see.. I'm grabbing the pictorial history from my camera right now
[22:24] * Durga snickers
[22:24] * Skaw|Gaming is now known as Skaw
[22:24] <Drysart> his journey was eventful
[22:25] <Durga> he's still alive, right?
[22:25] <Drysart> you'll see
[22:25] <Drysart> I'm not gonna spoil the ending
[22:25] <Abbikat> DAMN THE TORPEDOES!! FULL SPEED AHEAD!!
[22:25] <Durga> phht
[22:28] * Delidgamond has joined #evercrest
[22:28] <Drysart> stupid camera keeps powering off as I copy pictures from it
[22:32] <Drysart> ok well
[22:32] <Drysart> when we last left our little friend
[22:32] <Drysart> he was trapped in a plastic cup prison on my carpet
[22:32] <Drysart> the first step was to move him to the seas....
[22:33] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/11.jpg
[22:33] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/12.jpg
[22:34] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/13.jpg
[22:34] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/14.jpg
[22:35] <Drysart> The move was a success!
[22:35] * Skaw is now known as Skaw|Shower
[22:36] <Drysart> The next step was to get him in his ship and set sail
[22:37] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/15.jpg
[22:37] * iulius has joined #evercrest
[22:38] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/16.jpg
[22:38] <Drysart> I was getting the impression he didn't want to sail
[22:39] <Drysart> But sure enough, he was conscripted into service
[22:39] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/17.jpg
[22:40] <Delidgamond> spammer
[22:41] * MadCat has quit IRC (EOF From client)
[22:41] * Sabratiz has joined #evercrest
[22:41] <Sabratiz> hi everyone
[22:41] <Drysart> He spent some time checking out his new ship
[22:41] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/18.jpg
[22:41] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/19.jpg
[22:42] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/20.jpg
[22:42] <Drysart> But I got the impression it didn't suit his desires
[22:42] <Delidgamond> tit mouse
[22:42] <Sabratiz> cool a mouse
[22:42] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/21.jpg
[22:42] <Drysart> Because he took a shit on it (see left side of ship)
[22:42] <Drysart> and started looking for ways to escape
[22:43] <Sabratiz> you need to put chrome on that ship then he wont want to escape
[22:44] <Matilda_Jane> There be rough seas ahead.
[22:44] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/22.jpg
[22:44] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/23.jpg
[22:45] <Drysart> And as it turned out, he could climb up on the railing!
[22:45] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/24.jpg
[22:45] * Durga laughs
[22:45] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/25.jpg
[22:46] <Drysart> after circling the ship a few times, he started checking out what was outside the ship!
[22:46] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/26.jpg
[22:46] <Drysart> He discovered the water and was very careful not to fall in
[22:46] <Drysart> Good thing too because the water was FUCKING COLD
[22:47] <Drysart> But he didn't expect the giant wave headed toward his ship!!!!
[22:47] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/27.jpg
[22:47] <Drysart> MOUSE OVERBOARD!!!
[22:48] <Sabratiz> poor mouse
[22:48] <Delidgamond> murderer
[22:48] <Sabratiz> nooooo
[22:48] <Sabratiz> you evil person
[22:48] <Drysart> He tried and tried to get back on his ship
[22:48] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/28.jpg
[22:48] <Sabratiz> JOO CAN DO EET CUT HIS FUCKING HEAD OFF
[22:48] <Drysart> but he couldn't, so I had to list the ship a bit so he could climb back on
[22:49] <Drysart> so our poor captain was wet, but otherwise unharmed
[22:49] <Densetsu> should've been scalding hot water if you wanted it to be a death trap
[22:49] <Drysart> And not too bright.. he kept exploring the edges of his ship
[22:49] <Drysart> He never saw the sea monster coming
[22:49] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/29.jpg
[22:51] * Skaw|Shower is now known as Skaw
[22:51] <Drysart> Unfortunately, the sea monster's attack was too fast for a good picture... the mouse freaked the fuck out and leapt overboard again.
[22:51] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/30.jpg
[22:51] <Drysart> That was my poor attempt at capturing the sea monster's attack
[22:52] <Skaw> Dead Mouse Floating
[22:52] <Drysart> oh no, he's not dead
[22:52] <Sabratiz> dammit your crule
[22:52] <Drysart> I had to help him back onto the boat again
[22:52] <Skaw> Yeah, but look at how he is in the picture :p
[22:52] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/31.jpg
[22:53] <Sabratiz> your evil
[22:53] <Judge_Parcelan> Poor mouse
[22:53] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/32.jpg
[22:53] <Matilda_Jane> Drysart's a machine.
[22:53] <Delidgamond> I hope ALL of that is shaving creme...
[22:53] <Sabratiz> just dont shave the mouse
[22:53] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/33.jpg
[22:53] <Drysart> curiously he seemed to prefer the railing of his ship to the actual deck
[22:54] <Drysart> then the dumbass jumped in the water again
[22:54] <Drysart> I had to scoop him out with the very same plastic cup that was once his prison
[22:54] <Durga> scared shitless...
[22:55] <Durga> phht lol
[22:55] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/34.jpg
[22:55] <Kahuna_Ryuu> http://forums.evercrest.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=042252
[22:55] <Sabratiz> yay he has an escape pod
[22:56] <Drysart> By now his ship was in a sad, sad state
[22:56] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/35.jpg
[22:56] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/36.jpg
[22:56] <Drysart> He seemed to enjoy climbing up his fallen sail though
[22:57] <Delidgamond> I am bored of this story
[22:57] <Drysart> but enough was enough
[22:57] <Delidgamond> Tell a different one
[22:57] <Drysart> the Salty Chip was no longer seaworthy
[22:57] <Drysart> it was time to finish this encounter
[22:57] <Drysart> Again the plastic cup acted as a prison
[22:57] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/37.jpg
[22:57] <Durga> clean him off and set him outside now ;P
[22:58] <Sabratiz> evil man
[22:59] <Drysart> His next voyage would be difficult
[22:59] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/38.jpg
[22:59] * Luceres|chow is now known as Luceres
[22:59] <Drysart> from the bathroom to the front door
[22:59] * Luceres dies from laughing too hard
[22:59] <Drysart> difficult due to the poor shape of his ship, which could collapse at any moment....
[23:00] <Drysart> and the fact that he liked jumping overboard and I did NOT want a wet mouse covered in shaving cream running all over my house
[23:00] <Sabratiz> what a cute mouse (before he was covered in shaving cream)
[23:00] <Drysart> but, the long and arduous journey to the front door was a.....
[23:00] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/39.jpg
[23:00] <Drysart> success!
[23:01] <Sabratiz> poor mouse
[23:01] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/40.jpg
[23:02] <Drysart> Here was where our little friend would jump overboard for the last time
[23:02] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/41.jpg
[23:02] <Drysart> His prison was removed....
[23:03] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/42.jpg
[23:03] <Drysart> and he began debating the merits of jumping
[23:04] <Kawaii> did you wash him before setting it free ?
[23:04] <Drysart> but jump he did not!
[23:04] <Drysart> No, our little plucky friend decided now that he was changing his strategy from jumping overboard to staying on the ship!
[23:04] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/43.jpg
[23:04] <Drysart> but unfortunately the ship listed hard to port
[23:04] <Sabratiz> go down with the ship aye what a noble mouse
[23:05] <Drysart> The captain was stunned!
[23:05] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/44.jpg
[23:05] <Drysart> "Freedom?" he thought to himself, "is it true?"
[23:06] <Sabratiz> you didnt clean him?
[23:06] <Drysart> He decided to take the opportunity to not run away and sit still, cleaning himself.
[23:06] * Pesco has joined #evercrest
[23:06] <Drysart> I tried urging him away gently
[23:06] <Kawaii> edge shaving cream is toxic for a mouse that size
[23:07] <Drysart> he just gave me a baleful stare
[23:07] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/45.jpg
[23:07] <Durga> prolly all like "I'm telling all my little mice friends *NEVER* to come into this house!"
[23:07] <Drysart> Then, like a bullet, he bolted!
[23:07] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/46.jpg
[23:07] <Drysart> Into an overhang under my porch
[23:08] <Drysart> never to be seen again.
[23:08] <Sabratiz> until tommorow when he bites your ear off
[23:08] <Drysart> The Salty Chip sailed on
[23:08] <Drysart> but eventually ran aground
[23:08] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/47.jpg
[23:09] * nem-x has joined #evercrest
[23:09] <Drysart> And as for his plastic cup prison... well...
[23:09] <Drysart> http://www.evercrest.com/images2/ext/mousehunt/48.jpg
[23:09] <Drysart> it lives on to torment mice another day
[23:09] <nem-x> Up two 48? sheesh :P
[23:09] <nem-x> to*
[23:09] <Drysart> And so ends our tale of the Dread Pirate Mouse
[23:09] <Drysart> He survived a close encounter with a playstation controller last night and lived to tell the tale
[23:10] <Drysart> Lived... to tell all his friends to stay away from that crazy guy's house.
[23:10] <Sabratiz> and they say if you listen real close you can still hear him licking him self OMG
[23:10] <Drysart> fin.
