October Sketch #13: "Pirate"

"Captain's Log, Guybrush Threepwood. Well, I'm in jail. Again. It would be a regular Tuesday if it was just me. But it's not. Link and Graham are here too. Link seems fine. Graham, however, is... coping."

Inspired by the latest chapter from @captmickey's fantastic webcomic, "The Three Adventurers!"

Happy Anniversary, Three Adventurers!

Have a musical fan mix! Thanks, @captmickey for all the wonderful stories of this trio.

Annotations below the cut

"Ordinary Day" by Great Big Sea

This one just feels like the trio to me. Bandits, supernatural entities, wacky errands and unsolved mysteries - it's all just in an ordinary day's work for them. And more to the point, no matter how challenging things get, they hang on to hope and friendship, and it's what makes all the difference. It really is all about your state of mind, and at the end of the day, you've just got to say it's all right.

"Hoist Up the Thing" by the Longest Johns

This nautical song never fails to make me thing of Guybrush! Sure, by the time he meets Link and Graham, he knows his way around a ship much better than this song would suggest, 1) it hearkens to his background, and 2) the outlook of the song is still spot on - Guybrush will fake his way through anything with a winning smile, a well-developed snark, and choosing confidence.

"Ninja Archer" by Luke Cyrus

I mean, how do you think Graham likes to imagine himself when he's walking through the forest, dodging all the tricky tricks? Under a canopy of bubblegum trees (pink?) no less! Sounds like Daventry to me. And he wonders if he'll be the leader who'll protect the villagers... Yep. I'll take it.

"Chosen" by Laura Brehm

It's not easy to be the Chosen Hero, is it, Link? But you live up to it. You do.

"Fireflies" (instrumental cover by Cullen Vance)

For nights round the campfire, and hijinks and laughs, and fantastical landscapes to journey across.

"The Road Goes On" by A. R. Rahman and Vartiina

For chapter after chapter, the three friends have followed the road wherever it runs, always looking beyond the far horizon to their next goal, the next right thing, and the surprises along the way...

"Here We Go" by WILD

...throwing themselves headlong into danger, with courage flashing in their eyes, never looking back, never slowing down.

"Back Home" by Andy Grammer

Even when they go their separate ways in life, they never forget each other, and always find their way back into each others' lives. And their adventures back in the day keep forming them, always.

"Silver" by the Gray Havens

There's always that one song that gets added on intuition and vibes. This is the one. Have a listen and see if you agree with me.

"Jump Rope" by Blue October

Though the story is filled with laughs and optimism and teamwork, it doesn't mean that thing don't get hard for the trio. A lot. If things are getting too easy, you can bet the jumprope is about to turn high into low - but vice versa too.

"Renegades" by X Ambassadors

They're an unconventional three, for sure. Mavericks and goofs, living like their renegades even though all of them are successes in their own lands. And the undercurrent of friendship in this song made it a sure bet.

"The Legend of Zelda" by L'Orchestra Cinematique, "Fall in Daventry," by David and Ben Stanton, and "The Secret of Monkey Island" by the GameBrass

Try and puzzle out these selections, why don't you.

BONUS: "Adventure is a Wonderful Thing" from "Pooh's Grand Adventure"

I couldn't resist.

Happy 8th Anniversary, you dorks~

A knight, a pirate, and a chosen hero walked in for a portrait...

Happy Anniversary to the trio, here's to more adventures!

Just Take The Medicine, a Three Adventurers fanfic

----

“Guybrush. Take the medicine.”

“No way, it makes me fall asleep.”

Graham merely glared at the stubborn pirate while holding the bottle containing the aforementioned medication.

He had his reasons for wanting the pirate to take it now rather than later. From the bag under his eyes was obnoxiously prominent with the lack of sleep, his red nose that could put his own cape to shane with how vibrant it was from the constant blowing on the various tissues, and the wheezing breath which was alarming but both he and Link knew it wasn't a sign for alarm from their own experiences, Guybrush was sick, pure and simple.

“That's. The point.” Graham insisted through gritted teeth. “You need to sleep, your body has been begging to sleep!”

“I'll take it soon, just not… not…” Guybrush grabbed a tissue and sneezed loudly into it. After blowing his nose and catching his breath, Guybrush looked at him. “I'm already tired, I don't need to take that particular medicine.”

“Your insomnia would beg to differ.” Graham continued to stare at him. “Just take the medicine.”

“You're not my mom.”

“No. But I'm your friend. And I can be mean.”

Mean wasn’t exactly the word he'd use, Guybrush pondered, he knew the archer was too kind for his own good… but Graham did have a mischievous side that could easily go toe to toe with the pirate himself.

So what Graham was saying wasn't an empty threat. Not entirely.

“Fair.” Guybrush conceded.

“Good.” He held out a hand with two pills. “Take it.”

“No.”

“Okay.”

Graham took a breath and lunged at the pirate shoving the medicine at his face. Guybrush stared wide eyed before pressing his lips as tight as he could close and struggled as Graham kept at it. But his need for air overpowered his want to keep fighting that eventually he gasped for air and felt the medicine being forced into his mouth, followed quickly and firmly with Graham slapping a hand over it forcing the pirate to swallow.

Crud. Guybrush thought.

Graham, however, looked pleased as punch.

“There we go. See? Not so bad.” He playfully patted Guybrush’s head before standing up.

The door opened and Link walked in, holding an arm full of ingredients and food, seeing the sight of the two of them.

“I can't help but feel like I missed something?” Link raises a brow.

“Graham harassed me.” Guybrush complained.

“He wouldn't take his medicine so I forced him to take it.” Graham defended himself.

“So mean.” Guybrush pouted.

“Yes, I'm so mean making you take your medicine so you can feel better after not sleeping the whole day.” Graham rolled his eyes. “So mean.”

Link eyed the two and pointed at Graham. “I'm with Graham on this.”

“Cruel, the both of you!” Guybrush collapsed his head on the pillow.
