O Cap'm, My Cap'm

As you're gallivanting around on the Poop Deck (which is far better than what you usually do on the Gallivant deck,) you find yourself standing next to the ship's steering wheel. Atop the wheel sits Cap'm Caronch's big tall pirate hat.

"Look at me," you say, picking up the hat and putting it on while affecting a thick piratical accent, "I'm the Cap'm! Sail this! Swab that! Avast the other!"

While you're enjoying yourself, the ship's navigator (you can tell he's the navigator because he's short, wears wire-framed glasses and has long gray hair and a beard, and navigators are always short, always wear wire-framed glasses, and always have long gray hair and beards) approaches you.

"Cap'm. If we're going to go on another booty run, we'll have to replenish the ship's stores of grog, food, and por-... ahem, reading materials. It's going to cost about 977 Meat. Give or take."

Strange that he doesn't talk like a pirate. Also, those glasses evidently don't work particularly well, and he thinks you're actually Cap'm Caronch. Would you like to take this opportunity to live like a pirate?

• With 977 Meat:

Leads to Set an Open Course for the Virgin Booty.

• Without 977 Meat:

The navigator looks at you sadly as you open your wallet and a moth flies out. Try again when you've got the Meat?

You replace the Cap'm's hat and step away from the wheel, leaving the navigator standing, confused, in the middle of the Poop Deck.

Occurs on the Poop Deck.
