Day 17: warm drinks
The Revenge was many things. Ridiculous primarily, but in the very best ways if you were to ask its crew. Comfortable, being filled with linens and pillows and soft spots to perch. Full of amenities, many that Captain Bonnet thought of himself.

Delicious foods and drinks at arms length, mostly because Roach prided himself on his cooking. And the Captains strove to supply him with the best ingredients to make sure every meal was up to snuff.
So when they ran out of cocoa and therefore the crews' nightly drinking chocolate they were used to having during story time, mutiny was never closer to happening.
"How quickly can we get to a trading post?"

"It's not the same and you know it."
Ed had been trying to keep his cool, but he'd reached his limit.
"We're sad about it, too! Stop being dicks!"
"How'd we even get so low and not notice?"
Everyone looked to Roach and he looked aghast.

"This isn't my fault! We had a whole other bag of beans but SOMEONE got it wet and they started to rot! No one is allowed in the pantry anymore!"

Stede clapped to get everyone's attention back.
"I know this is a hardship like none we've experienced before, but we will get through it together...as a crew!
"AS A CREW!"
The old refrain settled them, and the round of hot toddies that followed certainly didn't hurt.
