Charge 7
Master Gunner
A magician had a job on a cruise ship doing his act for the customers during at sea periods. The captain of this particular ship had a pet parrot; he loved the parrot and spoiled it, catering to it constantly. This particular parrot had a habit of going to the magician's act every time he performed it.
After a while, the parrot began to tell the audience how the tricks were done. Comments like "Look up his sleeve, awrk!", and "There's a false bottom in the trunk, awrk!" became common place, so that the people thought the team were a comedy act. This infuriated the magician, as he took his job very seriously. However, as the parrot had the captain's favor, he was at a loss of what to do about it.
One night, the ship sank, and the magician found himself clinging to a small piece of wreckage. Wouldn't you know it, the parrot was perching there on the wreckage with him. After 2 days of silence, the parrot says "Awrk - I give up. What did you do with the ship?"
