You pick up the knife and step up to the bench, resigned to your fate. "I see we've
got a new fish on board, mates!" A big blond haired guy at the bench voices. "How'd they get you?" But you're not interested in conversation, so you grab a fish and start cutting.
"No need to be koi with us buddy, we've all been shanghaied into servitude here!" the man says, but before you can reply, a short shifty looking guy towards the back of the bench speaks up: "Walleye wasn't, I signed on on porpoise with the Cap'n, just for the halibut, and a finer grouper sailors I've never seen!"
"Ah shut yer mouth mackerel knock your block off!" the big man replies.
"Listen here, you dumb pollock, I've had enough of your crappie attitude, cod dammit!" the short man responds.
The Captain suddenly appears: "Gar! I'm tired of herring you carp! One more word
outa either of you an I'll slit you both from gullet to gills! You'll be floundering on the deck and even the ship's sturgeon won't be able to save you!"
With this everyone settles down and quietly returns to work. "Would you light the lamprey? It's starting to get dark." a guy towards the middle of the bench calls out
to the short man in the back.
"I'll get it!" you respond, thinking this is your chance to create a diversion.
