Anyhaps, th' crew are back fer our yearly trade, this time we're anchorin' 'til th' end o' th' month, so nigh 11 days! We 'ave a fresh bounty plundered from far 'n nigh ready t' tempt ye. Carl be prolly still lazin' around 'n piratin' from us pirates, jus' don't give 'im any caffeine, if he's goin' t' hand out our booty in his quests we'd at least prefer he did it slow, like.
Translation: Afternoon, friends! we'd really like to apologize for us being a day late with our little floating establishment, we do appreciate your patience! My daughter, Brunhilde, had an excellent first time out on the ship, I'm so proud of her! She's really something. We even went on a little father-daughter excursion to Atebus to visit the rift we'd heard so much about, and dear Brunhilde particularly enjoyed the rift mermaids! She always loved the mermaid plushies I brought her growing up. I suppose even the most daring of pirates have a soft spot!
Anyway, the crew are back for our yearly trade, this time we're anchoring until the end of the month, so nearer 11 days! We have a delightful new selection of goods collected completely legally from all over the world and ready for your perusal! Carl is again being helpful and giving out our items in his quests, we just ask that you refrain from giving him any caffeine as we're concerned for the poor man's health. We do like it when he gets his rest.

I know a lot of people don't like it, but I love the restocking holiday shop. We only get one holiday a year where this happens and maybe I'm just nostalgic but I miss the good ol' days of Subeta when restocking was practically a competitive sport. The excitement of getting a new item and the joy that comes from beating someone else to it!
I do enjoy that most of the holiday shops are just buy whatever, whenever but I do hope that keel stays the way it is.
