[Captain Del]

Most of you have probably noticed something very, very strange in our guild lately.... a very rare occurrence, that you can only catch if you have eyes as good as the ones on the back of my head...

It's quiet....

Oh, relax you!

It seems my little studying for that dreaded AP Test has ushered in a wave of pirates who need to prepare for all of their tests - finals, regents, SAT's, and all that other stuff pirates of all shapes, sizes, and intellects despise!

Aye, from die-hard studying extraordinaries like Christopher Ironhawk....

....to our less-than-enthusiastic learned scholar Charles Crestshot...

All of us have caught that ever-dragging need to drop our cutlasses, and dust off those books we pried from the hands of a less-than-alive Frenchman

And I know that I've been pestering a lot of you a lot lately to get online (Vicious Activity Del is Vicious ) but all joking aside, I want you all to make sure that you get in the right amount of studying, and resting. And, to do so, I got you all some gifts.

First off, you're going to need some utensils. Now, I never really got around to doing that shopping for new pencils.... but we DID have a few lying around from the extra goody-bags we made for our.. um... yeah.



And it's not like studying alone will get you through your tests.... you're gonna need luck, strength... and friendship bracelets!



Lastly, just for all of you, I decided to dig up Delmaria's old journal from Las Pulgas - it's quite a treasure trove of knowledge, if I do say so myself!



Good luck reading it, though. The entire thing is written in seventeen different languages, all of which are my own!

Good luck mates! See you soon!
