Ruth Timberdale - Mystfield's The War for Neverland
Once upon a time somewhere in New England, a boy was born to very poor family. The dad, Buck Timberdale, was often angry because often he was drunk, and on this occasion he was very, very angry and very, very drunk. He wanted a girl, a daughter, not a boy, and in his drunken rage he named his son Ruth, and relieved his mother and the midwife of their ability of bringing forth anymore children, or in other words their lives.
When he sobered a little he left the small town he lived in to somewhere in the South, proposedly in North Carolina, deep in the woods alone. He raised this boy as a boy but belittled him because he was supposed to be a girl. So the boy resented his father. And though they lived nowhere, he would walk twenty or more miles to school, where he was ridiculed for his feminine name.
The boy grew in resentment and hatred, for he was never loved and he was never treated kindly. Finally he came of age when he thought he could strike it on his own, and he left his dad and traveled to Raleigh where he looked for work. After months of searching, a dirty old man with a wooden leg and an eye patch hired him as cook on the Carib'n Rosa. He hadn't the slightest idea how to cook but he pretended he did. And he never made a fine cook but the men tolerated the portions enough to never dispatch him. He never told them his real name and they never asked, they just called him Cook.
Of course, he hated them cause he never knew how to love. They hated him too, but they hated everyone, they were pirates, men who had all grown up in bad and angry homes. But Ruth was planning. As cook sitting in the galley, he heard the ship hands talk, and they didn't always have good things to say about the Cap'n or the First mate. Sedition grew and freedom too. Oddly enough a few famous pirates started their careers on this ship. Long John Silver had been the previous cook before he took the the post and he saw Jack Sparrow go from ship hand to leaving and finding his own crew, per se. Some talk was of mutiny. Some of leaving and starting their own ships. Some he warned the Captain on. Some he let pass through the sails. There were three Captains on his ship and he hoped somehow he would be next. But he never took the chance.
One day he took leave of the ship when they had disembarked at Port-au-Prince. While searching for food for the galley he was enticed by a beautiful woman who was offering fortune seances. Charmed by her beauty he paid most of his own wages to his fortune. She told him that he would be approached by man who would offer him a grand opportunity which he should not turn up.
However, she was not magic, but hired by a certain man who was looking for help. Who, through magic discerned the desires of the Cook's heart. Before Ruth left the the market, this man chanced to meet him.
He called himself Terrance Coachman, an entrepreneur, who was looking for a ship and a captain. He was convinced that Carib'n Rosa was his ship but the current captain wasn't quite what he needed. So Terrance and Cook plotted the Death of the Captain and the bestowal of navigating the ship to Cook. So before they embarked on their voyage again, the captain of the Carib'n Rosa was murdered in the middle of the night and the papers were exchanged so that Terrance Coachman was the new owner of the ship and Cook was made captain.
When they made their announcement to the ship, the crew laughed and ridiculed him. Calling him the Cook Captain, and that they were all going to be killed by the Hawaiians. This caused Cook to lose his nerve. And in anger Terrance Coachman whipped him away into the Captains Lair. He revealed himself as a sorcerer and made him a spell that bound him as captain until he quit his service to Mr. Coachman. In the words of the spell, that once he left the service of Mr Coachman his men would mutiny him or worse. Later on, Mr. Coachman would enunciate all the terms of the contract, like where Captain Ruth would serve as Captain.
They sailed to London, England. One midnight as the pulled through the English Channel, the night watch saw Terrance Coachman on the bridge conjuring a spell. He saw the skies open and the ship rise off the water and float into the sky. However, when the vision closed he was never found.
When the truth was manifest, Terrance Goodman cursed the crew and captain to patrol the waters of his Neverland to occupy the children who would come there and that they could never leave or they would die.
Later on, in the War for Neverland, Ruth loses his hand and his name as the Cook when a young boy Peter Panning fights him for his and the Lost Boys' freedom and supremacy in Neverland.

The Legend of the Colander of Emeril
What is now known as the Colander of Emeril in Calamarianism was once called the Colander of Unity. The Calamarian Church in Italy was trying to make a amends with China after an incident with the Kosher Ninjas, so the crafted the finest copper colander they could to send with Marco Polo. However, when he delivered the colander to the Pastaer of the Church in China, the Chinese were confused. They had their own methods of cooking food and this colander wasn't something that had any particular meaning but understanding the meaning behind it they coated the colander with their finest porcelain and sent it back with Marco Polo.
Unfortunately while sailing around India he was attacked by the infamous pirate Sahid Salamander and in the Great Seage of Serendipity the Colander of Unity was stolen. Oddly enough Sahid Salamander, believing in karma, stole this highly valued artifact hoping that his most valuable posession, according to tradition his wife, would be stolen. However, shortly after winning the battle he was attacked by pirates, who were attacked by pirates, who were also attacked by pirates, each time the colander was put in the hands of a new pirate.
So now the Colander of Unity was lost somewhere in the Indian Ocean. Marco Polo, downbeaten for his failure, refused to sail anymore. Though the Pastaer tried to grant him Sautehood for his efforts to raise his spirits, he declined, thinking the loss of the colander too great a misdead. So thus the Colander of Unity was lost forever, so it seemed.
In a chance of luck, in April of 2006, Guy Fieri was doing a show for Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, and happened to notice the colander in a dumpy restaurant in Pismo Beach. He snagged it and sent it to Emeril Lagasse, a 14th Level Pastamancer, who immediately recognised it as the lost Colander of Unity.
Today, colanders are exchanged as symbols of unity on all weddings, anniversaries, Marco Polo day, and Brotherhood day. On International Speak Like a Pirate day they are hidden and locked up so that they can be safe. Contrary to popular belief it is disrespectful to wear colanders on your head unless you need to prove your innocence because of its humiliating implications, and it has no mysticality.

The Separates
In the post-apocalyptic Americas, in the mountains above a disease abandoned city, lives a family, and they are alive. Untouched for near a generation this family has lived alone here, with the borrowed technologies of the city and their own ingenuity. They thought they were the only ones left, the new Family Adam and Eve.
Yet, the day their "senile" old grandfather has feared and warned against. Invaders. Conquerors. The people that destroyed the great nation and the great world he had lived in. Now the question is whether all the safeguards he set up so long ago and everything he taught them would be enough.

Office Rabbit (not the office rat!)
An idea I came up with when my missionary companion came up with a song after seeing a rabbit by the Mission Office. (If he reads this blog - did you ever finish it?)
Intended to be a LDS version of Veggie Tales. I intend to mostly use pet animals that are part of this company. Based out of a business. "Mr. Rabbit" would be the main character and "Mr. Rat" would be the boss. There will be a cavey (Guinea pig) - because I've drawn him - I think his name Lawrence. They will do more than just be at the office. Mr. Rabbit will often fall into a daydream and end up fighting pirates or aliens or dinosaurs. It will espouse good Christian values with a emphasis on LDS standards.

Indea Productions - Garages
Garages is either a Sitcom/Nightime Comedy or a YouTube show about a group of neighbors who get together and make a neighborhood garage association. They make their garages into mutual hobby arenas. Examples would be as follows. One neighbor sets up his garage as a game room. One sets up his as a pool hall, another a automobile garage, another a studio for a band, maybe another for RPG or WarHammer room. Most of the commedy would come from just normal activities but here are some ideas. This would probably end up associating the wives.
Here are some comedies.
The men set up a card game room and they do a real gambling game of say Texas Hold'em. A lot of money is won (or lost). The wives get together the winner gives the money back. The next time you see them they are playing with pennies or playing Apples to Apples.
One time in the card garage the could set up like and old western saloon card game. The wives would be a part of that.
Another anecdote - the daughter comes in to the garage to throw away some garbage but its recyclable so her dad yells after her but misses her before she closes the door and so he texts her to put it in the recycle bin instead of going and findiing her or doing it himself.
One guy gets stuck with all the junk from the other guys' garages and his wife comes home and almost collides her car with the stuff in the once empty garage.
The garage band could be a place to bring guest bands and singers in.
The auto garage could actually be where they really fix the cars and give/get advice and really build a car.
