"Pumpkin Watch" and "Cinderella Liberty" are both so named because they're over at midnight.
I'm on eight hours of sleep in three days again. Can I stand a watch like this? Yes, absolutely. The results of said watch, on the other hand...
"I'll trade you." Holding up his ID. He's the fourth guy who's come down for a pass to go smoke after taps, but the first one who didn't ask for it by name. So I get to have fun with him.
"Well, what do you want? I've got a goat back here somewhere..." No, I don't know where this came from.
Blinks. "You have a goat?"
"Three of 'em. They're in the office."
"You're keeping goats in the office?"
Shrug. "Nobody else is using it right now, and I needed them out of the way so the quarterdeck would stay clean."
"Um..."
"I did have some other stuff, but the rabbi took my pig."
"What?"
Annoyed/musing expression, looking off through the window
I was actually supposed to be one of the lesser quarterdeck watches. Still have to have my whites, but all I'm doing is a contraband check on anyone coming in the ship. But the Messenger of the Watch (errand-runner of the watch, and escort for anyone who doesn't live in the ship) is a Limdu - Limited Duty student. This means that he got hurt somehow (probably PT), and isn't supposed to stand up for more than fifteen minutes at a time. This means that he can't be the MOOW (yes, we refer to them as "The Moo" and "The Poo." Straightfaced. Military discipline, baby.)
