Ahoy Mateys! It be Talk Like a Pirate Day!

Just pretend I posted this 20 minutes ago and it actually went up on Sept. 19, ok?

Arrr! It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

-- from esmereldes - (?)
Arc is thrilled that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. (she thinks that should be every day!)

-- from esmereldes - (?)
She thinks she is quite the meanest and scariest pirate out there...

-- from esmereldes - (?)
Agito is her first mate. She's not so sure about him...

-- from esmereldes - (?)
In fact, she thinks maybe he's too much of a wuss to be on her crew...

-- from esmereldes - (?)
*gasp* Oh no! She's decided to make Agito walk the plank!!

-- from esmereldes - (?)
*gasp again* Look out Arc! Somehow he didn't die and he's back for revenge!!

-- from esmereldes - (?)
Not to worry - Happy Ending! Now that Agito is scary, Arc talked him into rejoining her crew!

Bonus shots!

Arc and Agito had a lot of fun being pirates, even tho there wasn't any rum...
(Why is the rum always gone?!)

A Day at the Oyster Festival

Since they were dressed for it, I took my new repaint yukata girls along to a summer festival in my (original) hometown. They were joined there by Arc and Avril, who also dressed for the occasion. What was the occasion? The Milford Oyster Festival!

I actually have no idea *why* we have an oyster festival, and to be honest I see little connection to oysters beyond one or two stalls that sell them to eat, but hey, it's been going on since before I was born and summer festivals are always fun!

Arc can't wait to get a look at all the crafts and food for sale! :psuprise2:

-- from esmereldes - (?)
Moe is just happy to be near the beach - in fact, she's thinking of buying a beach house!

-- from esmereldes - (?)
"Come on! There's still so much to see!"

-- from esmereldes - (?)
Avril and Reina got tired of walking around in the hot sun, so they ended up sitting and chatting for quite a while.

-- from esmereldes - (?)
As evening falls, the girls watch the moon come up. Look how big it is!

-- from esmereldes - (?)
Ok, you're right. That's not the moon. It's part of the sign for the place where the girls stopped for dinner! :grin: (Paul's hamburgers - a local landmark of sorts!)

Bonus shot:

Arc found a building to match her outfit!
