1: Making an Island Where
There is but Land
Pirates are not often known for their originality or ingenuity, most of the time their adventures have something to do with pillaging defenseless coastline villages or going after some ancient treasure that will make them immortal but unfortunately skeleton-like in the moonlight. Aside from this, they're unpleasant to be around and are constantly obsessing about how long and great their beards are. In our modern day and age, this simply doesn't cut it anymore; even the meanest pirate is
ignored in the hustle and bustle of our high paced society. There is a place where these legends dwell after they have been pushed aside and forgotten. They gather and scheme in their secret underground communities waiting for their chance to once again strike fear into the hearts of a comfortable and complacent people.
And so they sent spies to watch and wait for just the right moment, the foremost of these agents was a man known as Captain H_____. He took on the role of a president at a small university in Indiana where he could gather support and put into motion the plan that would usher in the Age of the Pirate. A clever marketing team would give rise to Vision 2016 a “campus wide beautifying project” which would put his university “on the map” and “leagues above the rest.” Most significantly missing from the scant details officially presented were the plans to turn this landlocked university into an island, in which to run his pirate-based enterprise, by force-flooding the entire state of Indiana. Other noteworthy documents detailed the importing of island related items including, but not limited to: palm trees, monkeys, Kraken, and Spanish doubloons or other concealable treasure.
Underneath all of the well calculated politicking and genius campaigning lay the dormant manners of a vicious pirate. Even the most well educated of pirates can only remain civilized for so long and thus Captain H_____'s plan would unfold one menacing and imposing step at a time. Surely the bordering states would be next! Oh Midwest, who will save you now?
