Suddenly, a figure steps out from behind a rock. Her clothes are a bit tattered, her hair a bit unkempt, and a wide brimmed hat is perched rakishly upon her head. She leans casually upon a curved sword, which she apparently takes better care of than her appearance. She grins at you with a mischievous gleam in her eye and calls out to you ...

She leads you to a small shanty made from bamboo and vine. She takes a seat on one of a pair of crates and gestures for you to take the other one. She produces a bottle of rum and two mugs apparently from nowhere and fills each to the brim, handing one to you.

"I spend most o' me time sailing the salty seas o' Neopia. Neopia is a fun, interactive on-line world where ye can adopt interesting critters, battle them wit' other players' critters, play games, and more.
