Line 6:
In the first game, ''Spoonbeaks Ahoy!'', our heroine is in the midst of a rough sea bat--er, woken up from her sleep by the ghost of the great pirate Bloodbeard, feared by many a pirate but loved by all cute critters, who gives her the task of investigating the disappearance of [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|spoonbeaks]] from the Barony of Meeth. When she gets her bearings and goes searching around the island, however, things stop being what they seem. Can our [[Pirate Girl]] clear up the mystery and save the birds?

* [[People's Republic of Tyranny]]: Spoofed with a poster for voting Widebeard for Baron: "He's literally the only choice!"
* [[Phrase Catcher]]: "[[Deadly Euphemism|Dancing the hempen jig]]" is always met with the phrase "..so 'tis the fate of us all."
