Restuarant Assualt
by: Unknown
As Tetra's ship laid anchor, Tetra finally emerged from the kitchen, patting her still taut stomach and letting out a small burp. "Well? Did we finally find somewhere?" She looked up and noticed a large shadow was cast over their entire ship. Looking closer, she realized that their ship had been absolutely dwarfed in size by another ship, decked with several anchors and hundreds of portholes per row.

After waiting a few moments, she starts to climb up herself, and after making touchdown on the main deck, strolls into the main lobby, already finding every occupant tied up and a neck's length away from drawn swords.
With an impish look, she strolled up to the crowd, while snatching and stuffing into her anxious maw a few dozen complimentary chocolates from the counter. With the brown ooze still lining her mouth, she approached who looked the most likely to be the cashier and asked, fellow pirates in the room awaiting what she had to say...
