[Captain Del]

Yo-ho-ho! Listen close, mates, I can only tell this here tell once!

Surely ye all remember a certain cap'n by the name o' Captain Clause (aye, the "e" is silent - and ye better not give me no trouble over it!) I came through the Caribbean these past few years on me Magic Light Sloop, pulled by me trusty pack o' magic sea turtles, leadin' pirate after pirate on a hunt through these waters in search of both me, 'n my gold! Aye, it was quite a sight how high 'n low pirates would search to find me, but what seemed to be more o' a sight was how hard a certain Navy twas lookin' foward to meetin' me....

Last year pirates seem o' little perplexed as I made a mysterious disappearance halfway through me run 'round the Caribbean. Without o' trace I vanished, and though it caused quite o' stir fer some time, it blew over... but I'm telling ye, my troubles didn't cease when ye bilge rats stopped lookin' for me!

It all started just after a small group o' pirates and I broke outta the Catacombs. We were down there after o' little skirmish I had on me sleigh with o' few undead folk, but it wasn't much for the mates that saved me! I thanked the mates, slipped o' little gold in their stockin's, and went on me way - only to be ambushed by a group o' Navy soldiers right outside the tavern! Turns out one o' the pirates that had been helpin' me out had been workin' rounds with the boys in red (not me crew, either!) and had set me up to be captured!



Why, you ask? Well, fer those that can remember, I was quite intent o'few years ago on gettin' rid o' a certain... book.... but I kept on me one o' the pages just in case. Turns out they been wanting that page, and I came in their way!

Fer the past year I've been ferried round the Caribbean like some showdog by the Brits, kept away from my beautiful home up wit me brother in the north. I never got a way to make cont'ct with him, 'n I heard he's been worried sick... but ye know ole' Kris. But now that my time o' year be growing close, I be strong enough to make a quick escape to save meself, and more important, Christmas in the Caribbean - but I need yer help!

I've set ye all up to meet up with o' friend o' mine next Friday, December 16th, and with yer help we may just be able to see ole' Captain Clause free, 'n bring Christmas back to the Caribbean! All I need is plenty o' pirates to help me - but only the most elite, as this won't be yer average search-n-rescue, mates!

Me mag-, err, voodoo be fading on me, so write this all down real quick!

What: Rescue Captain Clause! - Saving Christmas in the Caribbean!
When: Friday, December 23rd, at 8:00 PM Eastern
Where: Tis a secret!
Who: Partners in Crime ONLY!

I be countin' on ye, pirates! See ye soon!... Hopefully....
