ITT: We Are All Pirates' Revenge

Sure I can! (Ira nods. He reaches to lift Melvin up, then remembers his current form and pauses.) Should I try just chucking you over there or something else? I do have psychic and telekinetic abilities in this form, but I don't want to risk hurting you since I'll admit that I'm not really the best at using them.

Hold on just a second. I don’t want you levitating my cousin in the air so quickly. He’s our captain, after all. Why don’t you try telekinesising me to wherever? I’m a lot lighter, and less instrumental to the team.

"Aw, Duane... you're instrumental to me."

"Go ahead, if you insist, but just know that if anything happened, I would jump down there myself before I let you die."

Well, here goes nothing...

(Duane should find himself suddenly surrounded by purple energy, then automatically lifted up off the ground and towards platform L.)

Gabrielle, levitating towards platform L, notices Ira's attempt to get Duane and Melvin across.

"Uh, Ira, you might wanna be careful with your abilities there. Y'know, from personal experience..."

Don't worry, Gabrielle, I can at least move small things in this form pretty easily! (Ira reassures Gabrielle.) It's the bigger things that I have trouble with sometimes...

(Ira then wonders if it's a good thing that he is psychically lifting Duane instead of Melvin with that in mind, given that Melvin is the closest to his size.)

Duane gets slightly anxious as he gets closer to the L. Particularly as he peers into the spikes below, and sees the several skeletons strewn across the dark floor. You're uh... you're sure about this, Melvin?

"Duane, if anything happens, I swear I will jump down there."

"...but it won't. Please, trust me, Duane."

"Y-You can levitate him away if it's wrong, right?" Melvin whispers to Ira.

Yeah, Melv, don't worry! (Ira reassures Melvin.)

(He places Duane down on the L.)

Duane fells his descent. As gravity takes him from Ira, his body presses the tablet down. A loud snap sounds, and Duane makes a loud squeak, as his body spasms. Soon enough, it is clear that the tile has settled; Melvin had guessed correctly.

Melvin jumps for joy and starts laughing like a madman.

"I know the an-swer, I know the an-swer!" he sings with the most crap-eating grin he's ever had.

Melvin jumps over to the L with Duane.

"Cous, it's all coming together! Now let's see..."

Melvin looks at the spaces remaining. (Here's the link again as a reminder.)

"See that other L up ahead to the left, cous? If my suspicions are correct, that's where we're going next. Ira, can you help us? Or just him?"

Duane looks across to the other L. I could try to do this... Hold on.

Duane twists around, stretches his legs, and touches his toes, before backing up to the far corner of the L, and running up, jumping into the air, and pouncing down on the close O, skating across the surface, as the tile pushed down, falling into the abyss below. Duane, however, managed to grab onto the closest L. As he settled He fidgeted about as he tried to maintain grasp, but the L stood in place, and he crawled atop it.

Goodness gracious... Looks like you got the answer, Cous'. Thank god...

Nice going there, Duane! (Ira congratulates Duane. He was admittedly a bit concerned when the tile started to fall.)

(Ira carefully makes his way toward the L tile to join Duane.)

Melvin is shocked, but claps excitedly. "Way to go, cous! P-O-L-L." He jumps over to the L with Duane and Ira.

"Okay, lads. Next stop is that O to our right!" Without warning, Melvin jumps there next.

'POLLO'? Like chicken? What'n'the Hell does chicken gotta do with Cargoam? Duane, either way, turns to Ira. Do you mind if I sit on your shoulder for the remaining tiles? As exhilarating a jump as that was, I don't need to replicate it.

No problem! (Ira says. He carefully picks Duane up and sets him on his shoulder.) Hold tight now!

(Ira hops to the O.)

The O does not falter.

"Nice to see ya," Melvin says, having been standing there. (See last post, I edited it a little while ago)

"Okay, we're almost there. I'm jumping to the C."

Melvin does so.

The C, similarly, remains still.

(Ira continues to follow along.)

"It's time to finish this. Our last letter - K." Melvin jumps to the K.

The K falls, dragging Melvin to his horrible death.

Nah, just kidding, he's got it.

(And Ira springs to the K.)

Man, now that we've figured this out, this is a cakewalk... (He remarks.)

Pollock? Wait, isn't that the dude who... ooooohhh now it makes sense! Duh! That Cargoam shit was stumping me, but now I think it all makes sense.
