The Secret of Monkey Island - The Story Edition - Part 1 - The Lookout of Melee Island

Guybrush Threepwood was walking up the long winding steps to the top of Melee Island. He did not know where he was, he had washed up on the shore there five minutes ago. By the time he got to the top, he was absolutely exausted. There he saw an old man by a fire. He was staring out to sea, he was wearing a long trenchcoat and sunglasses despite it being nightime. Guybrush clicked, he was obviously the lookout.1

"Hi there! I'm Guybrush Threepwood and I want to be a pirate!" he announced with a big inane grin on his face.2

"Yikes" shouted the lookout turning to his left. "Don't sneak up on me like that"3

Guybrush was confused.4

"I'm over here" he exclaimed5

"Ah right!" he then turned all the way round to face Guybrush. "Well then let me take a look at you then!" He had to squint but as he looked he could make out a man wearing small shoes, a plain white shirt with a leather jacket on top of it. He looked up at his face, he had blonde hair and a ponytail.6

"So then Thriftweed-"7

"THREEPWOOD!!" Guybrush interrupted "Guybrush THREEPWOOD!!!" 8

"So then Threepwood, you wanna be a pirate, eh? Well you look more like a flooring inspector, but if your serious about pirating go talk to the pirate leaders. You'll find them in the SCUMM Bar!"9

"Gosh thanks, I'll do that! Bye now! I'm off to seek my fortune!" Guybrush walked off, stumbled slightly, turned round and queried "Um... where did you say those pirate leaders where?"10

"The SCUMM Bar!" Exclaimed the lookout.11

Guybrush almost left again but then turned around, he still had one more question for him yet.12

"How did you become the lookout when you're obviously as blind as a bat!?"13

"Whats that meant to mean!? I was placed as lookout by none other than Sherrif Fester Shinetop! Now your in for it!" The blind lookout started punching thin air not realizing that Guybrush had long gone.14

As he walked down the mountain on Melee Island he noticed a poster on the wall. 15

Re-elect Govener Marley!16

When there's only one candidate there's only one choice!17

Guybrush thought to himself with a face like that she would definetely win!18

"Boy as she got a big... ponytail" he muttered to himself. He turned round and noticed a building with vimit on the walls, smashed windows and a sign, the sign read The Scumm Bar. He gulped opened the door, ready for his fate!

      I play Monkey Island and I am a fan, and replying to Hismercy, I only found ONE spelling mistake. '"Boy as she got a big... ponytail" he muttered to himself.'

      Shouldn't it be '"Boy HAS she got a big... ponytail" he muttered to himself.'
      Good work though.
