catch, then peter out. She fights with it for a few minutes, then
she walks away in a huff.

She returns with a kitty-sized flame thrower. She stands back a
dozen feet and fires, shooting a stream of flame at the stacked
wood. In moments the fire is burning quite nicely. ]

{2 SEALS clapp making 'ark ark' sounds of a seal. They they help
the Special Boat Operator pull her boat up and unload. She has
fresh fish, still flopping, plus collapsable tables and benches. A
Culinary Specialist also jumps out with all his cooking gear and
directions from Charlotte (Daisy-chans special 2foot slave) to make
it special for her friends.}


[Benni and Francesca both head for the meal prep area, intending to
load up on fresh fish.]

Fangu, Mr. Culinary Specialist, dis all looks great!

[Benni also prepares a plate and takes it to Prince.]

Prince looks in amazement at a planked whole cleaned and deboned
grouper stuffed with butter sauteed carrots and sweet potatoes (his
FAVORITE!) and bits of endive along the sides. He is about to dig in
then remembers his manners (even though he slobbers just a little), and
offers Benni some.

'You may not like the filling but the fish is good and the filling can
be licked at for a taste difference'.

He then settles in with a plate of it and Benni with a smaller one.
The CS smiles and continues cooking.

A fellow cook of a feline type helps the CS with how mice and the
larger (and less tender) rats are made to work. He gets an idea as she
filters out the really older rats as 'too tough' when he sees a cast
iron pot with a lid. He cleans and debones them of all but the
smallest bones and puts them in the cast iron pot with a bare covering
of rum and seawater. This is placed on the edge of the coals. When
they wake in the morning, they will have a very delicious rat stew.
