Work Text:
When Edson and his sister Ellie get themselves mixed up in some shenanigans that see them kidnapped by a band of pirates led by Captain Blackeye and his first mate Ordeal Orwell. They must reluctantly aid them in their quest for floatsies that can make their ship airborne whilst also trying to escape. Three allies of note include Edson's girlfriend Madeline, who brandishes a silver sword to compliment Ed's wooden rod, a loveable bear named Banjo with a backpack that can stash excess party members (That could come in handy, hint hint) and the acrobatic helmsgirl Kazooie who can turn into a Bree gull at will with a magic charm. In the end of it all, Ordeal Orwell betrays Captain Blackeye and snaps Kazooie's charm in half before tossing it overboard, locking her in Bree gull form.
Gameplay wise, It could be a 50/50 on combat and puzzles. The pieces of a map could be an objective from their resting spots with either booby traps or guardians watching them. A big focus could be on ship to ship combat where not only the player will have to manage not getting k.o'd but also to maintain the ship's health.
The trio Edson brings along in the Triads of the Damned AU is of course Madeline and Banjo (with Kazooie in his backpack.)
