"It'd be an honor to meet your Captain. it would be an interesting meeting to say the least." he laughed and downed another whiskey.

Gale stopped running, gasping for air. He looked back, disappointed that the Dirty Whistle was still in view. "Don' tell me I'm gettin' old..." He strolled down the road, alongside the harbor, satisfied with his getaway. "I don' know if lil' ol' Marcus is with them or not. But to be on the safe side..." Gale's train of thought was interrupted when he was called over by a soldier. "Is there somethin' ya need?" Gale approached the man, but the soldier suddenly stepped back, raising his rifle. "That tattoo! Are you Red blade Raven?" Gale relaxed himself, and sighed. "It was silly o' me t' show it so openly, wasn't it?" The soldier charged at Gale, the bayonet aiming straight for his head. In an instant, Gale drew his daggers, ducked under the soldier's rifle, and grabbed the soldier around the neck from behind. Nearby, three soldiers took notice and slowly began to approach Gale. "It has been a long time since I killed a man, and I won't be endin' that streak today." Gale looked behind him, making sure he had a clear drop down into the water. He shoved his hostage at the soldier in the center and then threw a smoke bomb to cover his escape. He sheathed his weapons, took a deep breath, and dove into the water. Once submerged, he heard the dull sound of the soldiers firing a volley into the water. A sharp pain in his arm told him he had been shot. He swam to the backside of a nearby ship, and surfaced. He examined his arm, relieved the bullet had only grazed him. He used his daggers to scale the side of the ship, and once he reached the railing, he began to pull himself up, but stopped as he saw that there was trouble at the dock.

Phintus smiled as she watched as Caryas and Marcus left. With a quick leap, she scaled down the side of a building, and walked towards her ship casually. Seeing the commotion at the docks, she walked right up next to Mia. "Remember, we have a dinner tonight at my ship. If you can, get those boys here to come also." With a half smile, she walked away, her hand on a throwing knife in case a guard tried to stop her.

"why miss, im just here to say what a lovely evening the duke said he had with you!" Wes was very good with impressions, able to disguise his voice and throw his voice. "also...im here with your docking bill, madam, here it is!" Wes held up the parchment with a bill having tons of 0's on it. wes then thought in his mind, 'haha! this is awesome, my disguises never fail!'
he paused for a reaction, and then when phintus came by, Wes returned to his regular voice on purpose and turned over to Phintus. " why Madam, you would'nt wanna look all suspicious hold'n a weapon in your hand.... would you?" Wes removed the helm that overshadowed his face. "heh, 23rd time i got ya, i wonder how high it'll go? maybe i should go over to jareth with this on and make it 145 with him?"  

[ruggaboo]

Mia smiled and pulled the sword away from her friend’s face. “Get on the ship, it’s time to leave.” She looked toward the bar, “I need to get Jareth. Wes, wait get Jareth tell him and the boys that at first light we sail.” She looked at the horizon and then to the men beside her. “Why hello fair sirs, what are you doing near the Hippocampus tonight?” Mia asked in a sweet tone. She had remembered what Phintus had just said to her.  

[Nazo dragon]

Wes switched back to his soldier voice. "why of course miss Mia!" Wes put the helmet back on to overshadow his face. "I shall locate Jareth and escort him here, posthaste, mi'lady!" "oh and NOT to forget, a bill this steep is outragous, let me take care of that!" he immediately crumpled the parchment and threw it out at the sea. Wes quickly ran back towards the bar's direction.

Wes opened the bar door and walked in an orderly fashion, just like the soldiers do when Wes studies their movements. He found Jareth sitting at the same spot, only this time with another guy... bonus. "HEY! YOU TWO!!" he immediately shouted at Jareth and the other guy to give them heart attacks. he then pointed at jareth, "I finally found YOU! you know what you did, buddy!?" Wes knew Jareth would not attack a soldier here, for obvious specific reasons of course.

Onyx tackle the man with his dagger out, he pinned him and held the knife against the soldiers thought. "The man who destroyed my ship word this kind of armor," he put more pressure on the mans thought.  

[Nazo dragon]

(you attacking my THROAT... or my thoughts....lol)

Wes backed as the man tackled him. Wes's helmet fell off and was then recognizable. he then deflected the blade near his throat with his own dagger swiftly and quickly pushed Onyx off of his chest, and stood up.
"oww man, i was only kidding, im not really a knight, or anything... though i did get ya, haha... oh hey what about your ship?" Wes quickly changed his expression. he was almost about as surprised as he intended to scare Jareth. people from around the pub started to stare after the incident.  

[Destiny_Blade_of_Justice]

"Nothing," he said replacing is dagger in its sheath behind his back. He nodded at Wes as an apology, Jareth to tell him the arangement.  

[ruggaboo]

Jareth shook his head and put a pile of coins on the bar for payment to the bartender, “now wadda ya want Wes? Is Mia calling every one back to the ship?” he asked as if he already knew what was happening.

Mia invited the two men onto the ship and showed them around, leaving out all of the hiding places she used for smuggling black slaves and illegal foods. Mia wasn’t a heartless person.  

[Caryas]

(I sent Yvansi what all had occurred so we did this through texting, then I typed it out and worked out the details.)

Marcus looked around as they were given the 'tour', thinking to himself that this ship was a nice one, but it didn't compare to the Howl of the Hangman. Still, he missed the seas and it was either take a chance with this one or wind up back in the Dirty Whistle or on some dingy with fools for pirates. "Aye, well, I'll take the job. Not much I'd be doin' in this lil' town anyways. Marcus Monroe, sailmaster and pirate extrordinaire at your service, M'lady." He gave a slight bow, smirking.

Caryas watched Marcus speak before chuckling when he finished. "Well, I ain't got much else to offer that he can't, but if yeh got another place on here I make a mean helmsman. Or, if you're so inclined, I have a large assortment of other jobs I can do." He and Marcus awaited her response.

"My arms are gettin' tired..." Gale struggled to keep himself out of view from the ship's deck. "Maybe if I-" The wood beside his head splintered as an iron ball passed through it. "Sink me!" Gale turned and saw that the soldiers had found him, and were preparing to fire again. "Best be off." Gale swung himself over the railing and made his way to the other side of the ship. "S'cuse me!" He leaped from the ship to the dock and out onto the road. He ran down an alley, only to be cut off by two of the soldiers. Gale whipped around to go back, but the other two blocked his path. "If it's a fair fight yer lookin' fer, then you've come to the wrong man!" Gale threw a smoke bomb down, and waited. He stared at the grey ball with a look of disappointment. "...Damn wet fuses." He threw himself to the ground as the soldiers fired. Two of them collapsed, one in front and one behind him. He stood, confused. "I thought friendly fire was looked down upon in the military." He heard movement behind him, and stepped to the side. The soldier ran pass Gale, and impaled his ally with the bayonet. Gale sighed and pulled his flintlock from his breast pocket. He fired into the back of the man's skull, and tossed the body aside. He reached down and picked up the man's rifle, "I didn't want it to come to this, but you buggers are persistent." With one forceful jab of the bayonet, he finished the staggering soldier. Gale reloaded his pistol, and turned to leave, careful not to step in any blood. Once out on the street, he straightened himself, to look as if nothing had occurred. "If anyone else knows who I am, than this is only the start. Oh well. I think I'll seek passage out of 'ere. I already done spent enough time in this bludderin' hellhole to last me two lives over."  

[Dreadlord Kharne]

Phintus looked over to see Gale on the street, not far from her ship. "Old man!" She yelled as she ran upto him. Sliding to a stop, she looked towards her ship. "You know anything bout the sea's? My first mate is goin to die in another twenty minutes, and every other person on my crew are a bunch of idiots. You can probably figure out my question..." Smiling a little, she grabbed his shoulder. "You wouldn't happen to know a Marcus would you?"  

[Nazo dragon]

"why of course, jareth! why else would i come to your ugly mug?" Wes chuckled after he finished his sentence. he also noticed the little nod onyx had given to jareth. "so... you recruited him as well, huh? well, from my perspective about a few minutes ago, i'd say he's able enough, i'll let Mia know..." as that went, Wes ran away only to stop at the door, he turned, and said. "one more thing... welcome to the hippocampus!" and with that, he shot through the door towards the docks. along the way, he spotted Phintus, talking to a weird man. Wes quickly hid in an alleyway, only to find dead bodies of soldiers in it. "...hmm" Wes eavesdropped on them, whilst cloaking himself in the dark with his cape.  

[ruggaboo]

Jareth face palmed and looked over at Onyx, “excuse him, he’s an idiot.”

Mia smiled, “I have a helmsman, a damn good one if I say so myself. What I need is a fighter and of course another cook. Are you up to it?” She asked Caryas. “As for you sir, you look like much more than just a sailmaster. Map consultant? No, how about second mate. Not first because I already have a lazy bones, but he’s good with disguises. Welcome to the family” Mia hugged both of the men.
