Why is the rum always empty?

Why IS the rum always empty? A very good question, and if you had asked a week ago, I would not have been able to tell you. It was always a strange phenomena, this rum disappearance, and only ever happened after we had been busy all day with our Narakari - in fact, when we needed it most. We pondered the problem for months, and finally decided we could not let this continue. We needed that rum, it kept us going, sustained our spirits, even when our rations ran low. We decided to solve the problem once and for all.

We sent out ten men to guard all the possible entrances to ship, while we set about waiting for someone to appear - the thief. Just the thought of this theft made me feel furious, and whoever was caught stealing would not get away lightly, oh no. The sun began to drop below the never ending sea, and I stifled a yawn. This could be a long wait. However, I was wrong. Not ten minutes later, I heard breathing behind me, slow, heavy, deep breaths. I felt a tingle shoot up my spine, and froze rigid, waiting. How had this man managed to pass the guards - it was not possible.

I tried to blend into the shadows - the thief must be caught in the act. But what I saw next made me stifle a gasp, and my eyes widen in surprise. For, what I saw peering round the door was not a man, oh no, but grey and, decidedly equine. The face emerged further into the room, and glanced around, checking the coast was clear. Valkyrie. She walked into the middle of the room, and then, looking over her shoulder, gave a short whicker, and a nod. I heard hooves crossing the polished wooden floor, and another head appeared at the door. Esmeralda! She joined Valkyrie in the centre of the room. I heard a third set of hooves, and a black Tobiano Narakari walked proudly in. Shasta! Well, I knew now what was coming, and without delay two more Narakari entered the room. Yue and Medea.

I settled down to see what happened next, as Valkyrie addressed the Narakari standing before her. She walked over to our casket of rum, and deftly removed a bottle, holding it in her teeth. She them walked up to Esmeralda, and presented her with the main body of the bottle, while she herself held the cap. She shook her head, made a

swift movement and, crack, the lid lay on the ground. She presented the bottle to Esmeralda, before moving back to the barrel, and removing another bottle, presenting it to Shasta this time, and again deftly removing the bottle top. She carried on down the line, until all our Narakari were contentedly sipping at the rum, before with help from Medea, downing a bottle herself.

After they had all finished the rum, they lined up, and deposited the empty bottles back into the barrel, before walking off again, back to the stables, in a near straight line. Narakari have a high alcohol threshold!

So now, whenever it has been a long day, our Narakari are also given rum, to raise their spirits. And there are now kick bolts in the stable doors...

Question?
Do we draw a group choice headshot, or our own individual choice headshot?

Why is the rum always gone?

(Little note, when equine characters are speaking in english, any humanoids who hear them only hear horse speak. Nickers, whinnies, neighs and other such noises)

Here is tale to explain why the rum is always gone. It’s a silly one that is assured and it might just make you watch your horned friends a little more closely than you might have done before.

Twas a calm night aboard The Bloody Mary. The galleon bobbed gently up down on the water where it was currently anchored. Most of the ships crew and their trusty horned companions were fast asleep.

Topaz eyes examined the stable set into the hold. Athena quietly unhooked the rope with her mouth before quietly walking out of her stall, then moved quietly to release Hades and then Rhokeus.

“Come” the dark mare nickered softly to the two stallions and lead the way toward the storage room. After quickly looking around, she grasped the bolt between her teeth and pulled it back therefore allowing the door to swing open. It took Athena a few moments to locate what she was looking for.

“Alright boys find the lightest colored crates and drag them out here. We’ll see about getting rid of the content once we get all of them out of storage.” She nickered and grabbed one of the crates with her teeth and began to pull it back out of the room.

The three of them were unaware of the pair of crimson eyes that watched their movements from around a corner. Their owner curious as to what the hell horses were doing. Isabela watched the three Narakari pulling out all three crates of rum from the store room.

Are they going to drink the stuff or is it something else they’re doing with it? She questioned mentally. A soft sound echoed outside and her ears pricked slightly in an attempt to hear better. The noise came again and the dark haired elf strained to pick up what exactly was making the noise. It was a whinney? She stared unseeing as she tried to figure out just who could be whinnying out in the open. All but three of the Narakari were currently safe and sound in their stalls. Isabela shook herself out of her thoughts only to notice that the mare and her accomplices had vanished out onto deck.

Athena abandoned her crate of rum in order to look over the edge of the boat. Her golden eyes met a pair of pink ones whose owner was currently bobbing happily in the water.

“Greetings, Athena. I believe you’ve brought what I asked for?” The newcomer questioned, tilting her head to one side. The dark Narakari nodded and began to grab bottles one by one in her teeth then drop them into the water. Each bottle was gathered and gently placed into a small floating object.

Isabela snuck out onto deck just in time to see her companion be doused with seawater as beautiful silver black dapple merhorse leapt right over the ship. The dark mare looked almost completely black and very much wet as she screamed at the aquatic equine.

She laughed softly to herself and then halted as Athena caught sight of her.

“Now, Athena. I’m not laughing at your misery. I’m... Why are you looking at me like that? No, no. Don’t you dare!” Isabela screeched as her trusty Narakari darted over and vigorously shook herself spraying seawater all over the poor elf. “Oh you are so for it right now” the dark eyed elf growled as Athena whinnied, looking for all the world like she was laughing.

GOS and Narakari are in kahoots! Run for your lives!
Also Hades and Rhokeus belong to their respective owners I just borrowed them very quickly as Athena was too lazy to move all the crates herself! <3

Your personal choice.
