What happens at the Store?

Many have said that upon entering the best pirate supply store in San Francisco, they get a sensation of déjà vu. Others walk in and feel at once the miracle work of an unseen hand.

An odd day in the store. I am operating at about forty percent of my normal hearing capacity, leaving me to feel like I’m underwater. This is somewhat appropriate, I guess.
