-A legend, a myth that is said to hunt in the deep seas and takes many a Pirate to the deep
-A huge white Whale, some say it is not real and that it is a Ghost
-A power of the sea, like a primal, what you see if its form projected into the Aether of this realm
-It guard uncounted treasures taken from pirate ships
-It is the gateway to another realm, where old Pirates go when they die
-The corpses of several Pirate Captains who tried to hunt it are lashed to the Whale by the cables of their harpoons that failed

SpoilerThe Ghost Whale is an action story RP event that forms part of Nebula's ongoing story.
This means we will be setting sale to face the Ghost Whale of the Deep, as Nebula seeks to retrieve something from it.
For the action I intend to use the ship at Limsa. I will provide the description of the setting and environment and all the events that should happen. Players would be expected to RP through this and respond to events as they take place.
I will take into account what characters do and rule on any changes to the events. I expect each player to be capable of self GMing their character for the good of the RP (that is you can determine the outcome for your character).
The action story will lead to a dungeon run which i will also provide some description, but here teams (if we get more than one) are on their own.
From the story you will be able to find a lost treasure, so please feel free to use that as you will for your character, even curses and the like. But please keep consequences of this this to your character unless agreed with others.

Holy Aldgoats! Nebbs talks like that? Kiht would be blown out of her jackboots to hear a "Moon-sister" talk with that kind of accent!
This sounds fun. Not sure if Kiht would ICly fit into this (probably not), but what are the OOC details? Like time, day and place?
Edit: Never mind, you just added that info. My bad.

She can talk Pirate, yes.. she's a Bard, and the offspring of Pirates
Event will be on March 15th at 11pm GMT.
You know I'm game. I've been asking people around in character as well. Are you sure about those dates, though? The 7th and 14th are Fridays on my calendar, unless there's some timezone thing I'm not taking account for. If you mean Saturday the 8th or 15th, I can only do the 15th. If it's Friday, it'll be starting at 4p.m. for me and I'll be getting off work at that point. I'll hurry home ASAP, but I should be on not long after start time. If needed, you can say I'm below deck, taking care of some business aboard the ship.

Grrr Dyslexia strikes again!
Yes 8th or 15th! I'll shift the time to 11pm GMT and make it 15th.
And yes Dog I was assuming you were coming if the time fitted
Awesome. I'll be playing this up big in character, and see who I can get to help out.
No need to tell you that I'll be there

Mine!
hehe.. ofc you is there, Nebbs would be lost otherwise.
I have an alt who would LOVE this event but I think i'm away on that weekend >.<
I missed the Menphina's Ward even too because I was sick
Luckily S'janna went in my stead!

That said I'd have loved to have come to this even on my female Keeper Yangh but I don't think I can ;_;
EDIT - Just in case I CAN make it... how would one go about getting... wait for it... ON BOARD with this?!
*Bows* I'm here all week! 
Just give me your character name or one I can contact you on in game. We can then do an RP intro.
An RP boat ride that leads into an IC dungeon run? Freakin. NICE.
Though I'm curious as to which dungeon will be included? Or is that not something that can be discussed due to spoilerness? Or am I completely off the rocker here. Bear in mind, I can't see the attached image associated with this event because my work computer blocks most outside website image linking with some very few exceptions.

Yes that's pretty much it. I know which one I would use certainly for the main story. But if there are more than 4 of us we will need to run more than one group through a dungeon. So for those here for "their" reasons I could easily see other dungeons fitting in, as some kind of nightmare you brought with you? Main thing is to not discount players due to level and make the dungeon about RP not so much the fight challenge.Â
I added a text only version and also put it here

Aaaah, NICE. Yea, I'd rather be about the journey and not the destination. The dungeon run in question isn't of major import to me--I wouldn't rage about this not being a turn of Coil for the sweet loots or some such nonsense.
Sounds like fun! Consider me on board!
If i'm not playing her i'm normally on Raelas Sturmwind. If i'm on neither... then i'm likely not logged in >.<
