And so it ends. Not gonna lie, I was expecting it to be a lot harder to review every post :P

But wait it's not over yet!

Well, looks like I was right. *Smug face*

[spoiler= The Overbiter] UUUUUUUUUUUUUUNGAAAAAAAAAA! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Now that I have damaged your eyesight (and hopefully your ears, but unfortunately internet noises don't *work* that way) I can start with my review of the chapter proper!

By laughing at Murray! Ha! Yes! Take that you treacherous swine! The Biter bit you! And I love that the author remembers that shrew's are poisonous (venomous?, I know there's a diffffference but I don't know what it iiiiis).

Anyways, I should probably start at the beginning. Unga is hired by the not-honest fellow called Duff, in league with his not-honest cousin Harlan. Harlan who I still remember from Novak's application. Hes the one that clubs the seal in the end I believe. Anyways, he's organising a ship jumping, a mutiny! Wherein they intend to replace Novak with Murray.

Because sailors be jealous. Unga goes along of course, but she has her misgivings- having not so long ago been the victim of a betrayal. And yes, I was right! She *was* in that Praying Mantis collab chapter!

So, the mutiny is in motion, Unga gets her weapons, and when it's time to do the deeeeeeed- of course she's not going to take part in a *mutiny*, Unga's an honest creature! (Also, I'm a hundred percent sure this mutiny would have failed anyways because nobody listens to Unga!!! W-why would you go for the old hare first? That will only make him angry! And he's a berserker! Only fools make berserkers angry!!!! And that's not counting the fact that Antonia and Siobhan could probably polish the deck between them. And Zandir's not going to let his cousin get walked over. And Lucan... would help. And offer moral support.

I'm getting sidetracked, but still. If *Unga* could singlehandedly end the little mutiny I'm sure the other warriors combined wouldn't have much of an issue... (but then we might be having an issue with, say, commanding a ship with significantly less crew members).

And yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, I got something else right. Unga is the grey arrow! Coz, she throws stones!

Also, I think I have a pretty good idea on who wrote Unga now. Muahahahahahaha!

I'm feeling really giddy about this chapter for some reason, so I think I'll just end my review here by saying I loved everything. Very glad this was posted! Will Unga manage to keep Duff on the straight and narrow? (or, less crooked side of things) or will Harlan convince his cousin to continue with the mutinyyyyyy. Lots of interesting stuff going on here, I adooooore it!!

Favourite liiiiine:

Really like the 'Unga was no snitch' line.

"What's all this then?" the hare asked, holding up his lantern and sounding like The Law. Probably, he had heard enough to know the situation already – but Unga was no snitch.

"Nothin' but a schemin' first mate. Right, fellas?" She cast the crewbeasts a sharp look and received a few nods and grunts of affirmation. Harlan agreed loudest of all.

Also quite fond of this line.

The scarred sable shoved past him and came toward Unga with unsettling speed. She stopped very close, staring. "You," she breathed. "You're the grey arrow."

"'Scuse you, but I think ya'll find I'm in my prime." Unga chuckled, a little nervous under scrutiny.
