day one in the queequeg

(You guys are going to hate me by the end...Also the scream in this video is for later. Just listen to the scream. It was the only video I could find.)

The kids approached the telescope sticking out of what they thought was a submarine.

"Password?" a voice asked. The kids looked to Quigley, who was the VFD genius.

"It's our last names. All of them"

"Baudlaires."

"Quagmires."

"Caliban."

"Jones."

"Taytum."

"Spats."

When the voice didn't respond, the kids shifted worridly. "You may enter."

The kids climbed down the hatch and into the submarine. They entered the main room of the ship. and were met with a girl about their age, maybe a bit older.

"Hello there. I'm Fiona Widdershins, captain of the Queequeg."

"Captain?" Violet asked.

"I like a lady in uniform." Quigley joked. Isadora elbowed him in the ribs, making him silent.

"You run this sub by yourself?" Violet continued.

"Yes. Well, no. Cookie helps. He's the chef."

"His name is Cookie?" Bree asked the girl. "As in the food?"

"I call him Cookie. His real name is--"

"Baudelaires!" a man's voice called from behind. The kids turned around to see Phil, the worker the Baudelaires met from their time at Lucky Smells Lumbermill. They ran to give him a hug.

"I'm sorry for what I did to your leg." Klaus apologized, looking down at Phil's leg, which was in a peg.

"Oh no, you didn't do this. My leg was eaten by a shark. But it's fine, since barely anybody gets to see an animal like that up close!"

"I can see you're still an optimist." Violet sighed.

"Getting back to this conversation," Wyatt started, making everyone turn to him. "Fiona, we all just escaped a man called Count Olaf. Knowing him, he'll follow us wherever we go. Could we--?"

"Yes." Fiona told Wyatt, interrupting him.

"You didn't hear the question."

"Didn't have to. I have orders from VFD and Jacques on what to do. I'm to retrieve the sugar bowl, then drop the rest of you off at the last safe place."

"What's the last safe place?" Duncan asked Fiona, but it was more directed at Quigley.

"Hotel Denoument." Quigley told his triplet brother. "Run by the Denoument brothers."

"Correct." Fiona nodded. Quigley smiled at her. "I'm going to drop you ten off at Briny Beach, where an associate will take you to the last safe place. But first, we have to retrieve the sugar bowl."

"How long will that take?" Jenny asked the older girl.

Fiona shook her head. "Not that long. In fact, I'm already on my way to retrieve it."

Fiona walked out of the main room, then reentered with outfits matching hers and Phil's.

"Put these on. We have an adventure to go on."

The kids took showers, changed into the Queequeg outfits, then split up. The Baudelaires and Quagmires went to go look in the library, Jenny, Bree, and Sunny went exploring, and Wyatt and Francine stayed in their assigned room to take a nap.
