Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hearing commotion on deck, Dr. Baxter came up from his quarters to see what was going on. Two people had just boarded the vessel. Not knowing who they were, he decided it would be best to leave them alone. Observing the nice breeze, he decided to remain on deck for awhile to enjoy the fresh air.

-Sparrow kept glancing down at the deck, watching as it continued to get more and more crowded. All the more reason for her to stay in her nest, but, she noticed conversation was happening, and she'd liek to join in. With a small giggle and a grin on her face, she scurried down the rigging and landed sofly on deck.-
-Once on deck, she would find somone to talk with. She narrowed her eyes and glanced around, spotting a lonely looking fellow. she came up behind him and gave him a rough slap on the back.- "Oie! Luvly day to out on the sea, eh? Glad to see you've decided to come out from below the decks..I was startin' to think you were a hermitcrab...Pardon me, but..I don't believe I know your name..nor do you know mine."
-She puffed out her chest slightly and bowed slightly.- "Names Sparrow..and you are?"

Unable to understand anything that the woman had said, she waved to her, and then strode back to where the auction was taking place.
Walking up to the Captain, she whispered in his ear
" Captain, do I get the boy? Is my bid still the highest? I need to know, so I can go start... something for....... supper..." At this, her lower lip started to quiver, of her thinking how little there actually was left.
1 bag of flour, some spices,and a few fish that the crew caught every day were the entire contents of the large and empty pantry.
She had hoped with the return of the recon team would come a plethora of provisions, plentifuly pleaseing the most unenthusiastic observers. But to her dismay, no such store was revealed.

With much interest, the good doctor watched this spectacle unfold.
"This seems more like a circus than a crewed ship," Dr. Baxter thought to himself.

Destiny stumbled backwards as the young man came flying at her, helped along by a shove from the Captain. Trying to keep her balance, she fell against the railing on the deck, but dropped the boy.
" Opps.. sorry. I wasn't expecting you come flying this way. " she said down to Cubby.
" By the way, I was talking to a new arrival, and I cant seem to understand anything that she is saying. Could you help me with that?"
Destiny let him over to where the woman was, and waved again, a friendly wave, and put a smile on her face. " Miss, I dont understand anything that you said, but this guy might. Can you tell him? DO you speak any english by any chance?"
Destiny waited impatiently for the woman to reply, for she had to figure out something to make for the crew's dinner.

The doctor picked his head up.

"You said you have two questions, but I cannot understand the rest, I'm sorry, my French is really bad."

He had a confused and apoligetic look on his face.

Seeing that somebody else had answered the lady's question, she tugged on Cubby's arm and led him down to the Galley.
