Season’s Greetings! Once again, it be that time of year, when we say “Goodbye” to the old and “Ahoy” to the new! Now, with the embargo placed on arrr shores by the East India Trading Company, many thought that th’ New Year would be a time like any other, with the Holiday spirit bein’ spent entirely on the 12 Days of Celebration. In that, ye would be wrong. I be pleased to announce that me crew and I have completed a cruise against the likes of Beckett and the Royal Navy and that be cause to celebrate!
Among the plunder taken was a stock of fireworks, meant fer the Governor’s Mansion and EITC offices to celebrate the New Year, which I sold at a generous discount to my movers on Tortuga, Padres del Fuego, and Port Royal. So, expect to see fireworks light up the night sky for the next few nights! Also among the loot was a shipment of festive clothin’, also meant fer the “civilized” celebrations. I figured ye pirates deserved them more than the high-born sissies that inhabit Port Royal and so I generously donated them, for a modest finder’s fee. Ye can find a New Year’s Outfit at the Peddlers, but be quick! Supplies be limited to what me ship could carry, once we had taken all the gold and rum, har har!
This New Year’s celebration now has enough supplies to last a couple of days; my mates assure me that if we start on December 31st, the partyin’ will carry through to Januarrry 2nd. So that be the plan, three days of unending celebration, celebrating the milestones of this year past, and lookin’ forward to the year to come! Take what you can, and give nothin’ back!
