Most recent chapter in our evolving pirate drama. A Welcome Home Party for Queen Ruby. Come to the party prepared. 

Queen Ruby and her crew have magically arrived from year 1623. She’s evading  Pirate Anderson’s Cutthroat band who wants to rob her and the ladies in raiding of their ship and the magical key to the sea. Ruby is holding this party to start a Lowcountry pirate fashion trend in hopes of increasing her chances of keeping under the radar by filling Charleston with play Pirates, among whom she and her ladies can hide. 

Ruby's pirates have survived their first encounter with Anderson in this modern world, but life in the 21st century is becoming complicated. They're riding the bus because you can't rent or buy a car even with a handful of gold doubloons without an ID. A birthdate in the 1600s is bout to raise some questions down at the  DMV Ruby and the other lady pirates don't want to answer. 

Read the full, detailed back story.
