Hola, amigos! I like speaking in Monquistan! Nevermind, just have some eclairs and homemade doughnuts with a glass of tea or a cup of coffee? The coffee is mocha and the tea is green tea.

So, I suppose some of you have seen my "What do your Pirates do in their Spare Time?" thread. Well, what do your CREWS do in their spare time?

Well, when I'm busy with something in the captain's quarters, I usually just let them do what they want as long as it doesn't involve blowing stuff up without me. Ratbeard breaks that rule every time. Well, sometimes I have to ask Catbeard and Bonnie to make lunch (they're not bad cooks!) even though Catbeard sneaks pickled herring into stuff sometimes. Gracie is almost always downstairs, in the lower deck, working on her golems and mechanical traps, and sometimes they have to forcefully drag her upstairs to get her to help when there's the occasional boarding. Monkey King spends a lot of time talking with El Toro and Ratbeard, because for some reason they manage to not fight constantly. And Flint, Tyson, and Rooster Cogburn usually just chill and talk about... chickenly things. The Bison are always chattering away over Buffaloon burgers and tea. Wing Chun sometimes, when not steering, spends his spare time with El Toro and the other two, and once or twice they've pranked Neko when she's trying to concentrate. Catbeard and Neko often chat together about cat stuff and about their home worlds, and the difference between them. Bonnie and Gracie seem to like using their spare time together too, Bonnie sometimes helping Gracie downstairs, while Gracie repairs Bonnie's musket. It's quite nice to see how well they get along.

So, what do your crews do in their spare time? Post here!

It's pretty much what the do at breakfast, they relax, train, and have fun. The read books from my library (anyone read A Tale of Two Skyways? Love it!), but anyway, I'd like to thank you for asking us all the questions that make us think long and hard, but I think you should take a break from the baking, you're stuffing me! Instead, would you like a piece of Valencian Tiramisu or a glass of delisious carbonated Orange Juice-Yum blend? But thank you for all this, the message boards would a much less interesting place without your posts.

Doughnuts? I like the sound of that! x eats doughnuts x

What they do is beyond my control now. Most of the time you hear El Toro yelling about bombs, and you also hear, "BOOM BOOM BOOM!" The reason: El Toro suddenly decided he wants to carry explosives, so in her free time, Gracie makes as many as she can. Then El Toro hurls them in a pit all the time. Ratbeard and Bonnie or Ratbeard and Catbeard are usually arguing over random things. Later on Mormo and Old Scratch practice their Hoodoo, and they usually hit some people, namely me. The more, well, normal companions train. I have no idea what the others do.........

I don't know what catbeard does in his spare time, but I keep noticing a lack of pickled herring in my ships hold

oh you had to ask!
while the crew is relaxing, they inevitably get to drinking the yum.
some like the red, some like the blue and some like both!

then always always the arguing begins as to who was the most beneficial warrior in winning the battles from the early days of skull mountain to the brutal days of aquila

the only way the arguing stops is when goronado gortez stands up, yanks the yum from eep opp ork ah-ah announcing that any more yum for eep opp will result in a final nervous breakdown for him as his constant shaking motion begins to rock the ship so violently that all have to abandon ship and escape to my volcano house, where they all tend to spread out and finally settle down for a well deserved sleep

What my crew likes to do in their spare time? Well, aside from keeping an eye on my clockworks 24/7 waiting for them to turn on us and yell in my face "WE TOLD YOU SO!", they are nice people. I treat them all as equals on my crew. Gracie just spends her spare time keeping my clockworks in check, and to keep them from malfunctioning. El Toro and Mustang Sally are great help when it comes to checking the generators in the volcano (those two will jump at the chance for adventure at any given time), but in their spare time, they always go on a honeymoon. Sarah, Bagha Khan, Catbeard, Ridolfo, and Iago don't get along (each of them was once my first mate, and Khan is still my first mate), so in their spare time, they like to sabotage each other, well, all except Bagha Khan, he doesn't care who wants first mate, he just thinks it is an honor to be a first mate (they think I don't notice them sabotaging each other, but I do notice a LOT, I just find it funny -snickers-). Bonnie Anne likes to target practice in her spare time using captured Armada clockworks as her targets. Ratbeard just spends most of his spare time in the dinning hall drinking Yum till he passes out.

LOL I like the Ratbeard one it's so funny! But anyway...

Ratbeard and Bonnie Anne are always arguing. Hah! Barnabus and Kobe and Milo either spend most of their time training or hang out in the nearby tavern drinking about 5 bottles of yum(Kobe drinks the least since he is a samurai ha) Old scratch and Vero Chavez take guard of the ship. There. Thanks for the snacks Emma!

This might sound dumb to you but you can actually make your companions do stuff when you are not in battle/

This is just a trip through the imagination zone here. And you can if you count having your first mate follow you through the game.

usually i find ratbeard and sarah steele together (always laughing about something trying to play it off like they are just friends. )i commonly find bonie anne on the phone talking to another person every other day.nurse quinn almost always has a patient to tend to. subodai usally meditates coming closer to his ancestors. old scratch is always so hard to find so lately i havent even bothered looking. handsome dan is commonly on the phone commanding another cuandron of his army. gaspard de vole is usually nibblin on something. pedro de ribera is usually playing chess against don bernardo alouatta. tricky vinny has lately either slept or done target practice. as fer the rest, i truthfully dont know

Well...... Weasel Gambler sits around waiting to play someone in cards no one will though he cheats . Subodi trains in our new training area in Rakes Grotto non-stop I don't know if he eats or sleeps . Romba breaks something Bonnie fixes what Romba breaks
