Recap by Bak-Koi:
We are back with the same motley crew of the Just Dust Pirates as they are in the island of Toroa, the island of many mysteries. Ahabraham Zinzarri, aka Ishmail, makes friends with some other whalers, with his fine stats of his whaling experience, the white whale being his 69th whale, and his 420th assistance in whaling. His new whalers treated him to a few drinks and a commemorative tattoo. Meanwhile, Bak-koi was still in the bar, the Weeping Cyclops, with Spark Cuban. After passing the time with some Jacks and Tiddlywinks, the two are escorted to Guajino’s, Finest Italian Dining around 9. While this was all happening, Baroque Obama was perusing the market for some ingredients, and encountered a man who piqued his interest about the supplier’s for Guajino’s Finest Italian Dining. After asking around, he finds himself in a pickle as he is caught attempting to pickpocket and gets attacked by some guards. After running away successfully, he looks for the Finest Italian Dining, Guajino’s. While this was happening, Ishmail goes back to the ship after kicking off Lucas and makes his way to someplace to sell his whale. Me-me is traveling to and from the whalery in search for this Ishmail character, with only some direction from Lucas as to where he can be found again. Back at Baroque, he finds himself at the restaurant and was confronted by some guy who was hesitant to let him into the restaurant without a reservation. When we get back with Ishmail, he is now part of the QVC Family with Lori, and has a journey of his own with figuring out how to fully process and get paid for his whale.
We cut back to Me-me, who is still on the lookout for Ishmail, but now looking for Baroque, as she asks around the market for a “Chalk Man”. We went back to Baroque at the restaurant, who, once inside, was able to convince the manager, Giuseppe Balashomi, that he was an Italian health inspector. He acquires some Italian ingredients as we get back with Ishmail, who now is looking back as to where his whale money is. He finds four stores, Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, and Spy, and he proceeds inside the Spy store to meet with the merchant inside. Realizing that not the Spy store or any others will give a loan for money with return from the whale purchase, he travels back to the bar to meet his whaler friends again. Meanwhile, Me-me goes to the restaurant and asks about the “Chalk Man” and does not gain any more intelligence about his whereabouts, but does successfully pickpocket the Italian she greeted, gaining 30,000 Beli and some keys. On their dinner date, Baroque and Mark Cuban are in the ship when Baroque prepares sliced tomato, beef tartare, and some crushed “oregano”. They talk about a sponsor for the upcoming tournament, as Me-me is at the tavern. She meets some guy from the whalery, attempts to pickpocket him, and critically fails, as she enters combat. After she and her snake take some time to fight off the Marines, they both black out and are sent to jail. As we finally cut back to Bak-koi, him/her and Spark go into the horse-drawn carriage, Bak-koi surprisingly acquired a loaded shotgun, and goes to dinner. After food had been served, the dinner date went sour and ended up unsatisfactory for Bak-koi and unknowingly for Spark Cuban. Once Baroque met up with Ishmail in the tavern, he talks about the sponsorship from Mark Cuban and later tackles Lucas when he enters the bar. This is where we pick up.
