It all starts at a pirate coffee shop...
An exquisite corpse is a form of collaborative art where each participant only knows about part of the whole work, and must complete their part with limited context. In this case, each writer only had access to the previous chapter, resulting in the story getting confused, yet still moving forward undeterred. The exception is me having full context when helping out the others, and Nonchalant writing two chapters here and thus having a bit more context.
Participating writers were me, Posh, Nonchalant, Seigneur / Tache bleue, TGM, kits, Cynewulf, and trAce.
