**See's Captain Kurisu on board the ship, she decides to make her way to the Lady hoping that he will take her back as one of the crew. She takes her first steps onto the deck of the Lady in what seems to be years. She makes her way to the captain quarters**

[[Not sure exactly whats happening, so yeah...]]

-Her rein as Captain was over, and she was more than glad of that. Peopel allways askign you questions and looking to you for answers was more than a headache. How Capn' K did it, she'll never know.-
-With a sigh, Sparrow sat in her nest, her legs dangling over the sides, a bottle in her hand.-

*With his boots sounding his return loudly upon the creeky boards of the gangplank, Quartermaster Suckling melts away and Captain J. Kurisutofa is reborn. With his large hat back on his head and his heavy, black coat (that had seen better days) drapped over his shoulders, he walks the main to the steps and ascends to his natural place in life... the Quarterdeck.

Running his right gloved-hand down along the smooth oak railing that shown gold in the bright daylight, he reminised about all the time he had spent with this beautiful ship. That day in Bristol Harbour that he gained his first loyal crew member, the ever beautiful Midnight Oasis. Miss Oasis was a wonderful rougess with a thirst for adventure. Unfortunatley, over the course of her years' duration aboard, she had developed a rare case of malaria in the West Indies and had to be shipped back home to Bristol, there she was taken to Bath's Mineral Springs in order to regain her health. Having recovered, she had gone about her own business elsewhere in the world. Jack had never heard whether or not she had taken up her own command or whether she had retired her sea-legs. But enough of days past... Now, he was once again Captain of his Lady.*

"I've returned my Lady~Love... I'm back."

*Grasping hold of the Ship's Till, he caresses it and smiles.*

"Do you remember what it is to bask in glory, my Lady? To smell the gunpowder in the air. To watch as a hundred men run up the shrouds and drop sail... the tack yards and fire a broadside? Do you miss it? The roar of the crew as they watch an enemy ship sink into the depths of Davy Jones... the cheer that is heard as they make a frontal assault on the beach, along the docks and into the keep.

The wealth and treasure of this fine trading port shall be ours. Fine Chinese silks, Gold from all parts of the world: Spanish Dubloons, Pieces of Eight, English Pounds, Deucht Marcs, French Coin. Japanese Weaponry & Goods will most likely be there too! Some of the finest steel ever made will be held within Toulon's Armory. All that and more is awaiting us.

What a sight it will be as the torn and weary British colours are struck from the Citadel. In it's place, the bold colours that strike fear into the hearts of the weak, The Lady Washington's Broad Banner.

Soon enough my bold and beautiful Lady, your sheets will be unfurled and will blow right with the wind. Your lines will be unbound and your chains cast off. Soon my Love, you shall be freed from this wooden prison of ships and floats and shall be let loose upon the Port of Toulon. May you find deep waters to sail within and rightful breezes to carry you to Victory. May the crew's guns be fast and accurate. May the swords of which we use to pierce the flesh of the Town's People be sharp and fine, and may the crew rightfully aid you in achieving what we have not done in quite sometime. May I stand next to you and guide you to what you so rightfully deserve... A GLORIOUS VICTORY!"


*Then as if he was standing right next to him, Mr. Quasan's request pops into his head.*

Quote:
"I can not take part of the massacre that will take place. I can not stand to see innocent children and woman slaughtered. I know of a family here and I wish them no harm! I will not allow you to harm them specifically! The only time you shall see me fight is when I encounter my former captain's armada. I hope you can bear with me, but please do not harm that family!"


"So, Mr. Quasan wanted no harm to come to this unknown family and that no women or children shall suffer... so be it."

*Descending from the Quarterdeck and onto the main, he once again returns into his Cabin. Jotting down an announcement to the Crew. Returning to the Maindeck, he withdrawls his dagger and stabs the note, securing it onto the Mainmast.*

It Reads:

Quote:
~:ATTENTION TO ALL HANDS OF THE LADY WASHINGTON:~


As most of you know, we are to be attempting an assualt upon the Port City of Toulon. Now, I know that most of you already know my Terms of Battle, but I shall make this clear once again to those of you who are Newcomers.:

Seeing the Captain "tack" a note to the mainmast, Dr. Baxter goes over and reads it. He then takes note of it. He made a mental note to himself that he will probably be providing medical assisstance to more than just the crew. He prepares the the bloodshed that awaites him. He had never had to kill another before, and he felt uneasy to his stomach.

"Now's the time to see if I have what it takes..." he said to himself, looking down on the weapons he now wore..

Climbing back down the rigging after his conversation with Kurisutofa ended, Dr. Morgan notices the note pinned to the mast. He takes a gander at it to see what's going on.

"An assaul' on th' town? Ach, I bes' be findin' th' Lady's doct'r 'en... 'e'll be wantin' fer 'elp if'n 'e sees it fit tae 'elp th' folks o' th' town aft'r th' figh'..."

He glances around, but sees neither the Captain nor the lad with whom he spoke earlier. He spies a rather upset looking man not ten yards away, and decides to ask him for directions.

"Oy, you there! Who be th' doct'r on this 'ere vessel? I'd be much obliged if'n ye'd show me tae 'im, an' I 'ave a feelin' 'e woul' be 's well"

The Doctor's thoughts were broken by a voice with a very heavy accent. He looked up and saw it's owner. He had not seen this person before.

"Can I help you sir?"

-Glancing about below with her half lidded eyes, she spotted the Captain pining somethign up to the mast. Archign a brow, she decided to og and take a glance. With a stretch, she scurried down onto the deck and glanced over the note, nodding as sh did so. -
-Over her shoulder, she heard a slightly familiar voice. She looked over at the two men, Curious as to what they wereclucking about, she turned to look at them, inviting herself closer to them.-

*she reads over the terms of battle that the Captain had posted out for the crew to see. She shakes her head slightly, reading to her dismay. She speaks to herself.*
Well, fine, Captain...
*she starts putting her pistols in her belt, belting on her longsword, and loading herself with enough shot to do some serious damage to the town*
Ah, ready...

Slightly annoyed, as the man had apparently missed his request, Dr. Morgan tried again.

"Well, ye see, I be lookin' fer th' ship's ph'sic'n. I be 'avin a feelin' 'e'll be bein' appr'ciat've o' meetin' me. Coul' ye show me tae 'im?"
PostPosted: Sat Feb 04, 2006 2:02 pm


"Look no further. I am the ship's surgeon. I may not look it armed as I am, but I am indeed the man you seek, Dr. Reginald Baxter at your service, sir. I will most likely need all the help I can get, and I gladly accept your offer."

He smiled and outstretched his hand to shake the man's hand.

Dr. Morgan grabs Baxter's hand and gives it a firm shake, saying as he does so;

"Dr. Rob'rt Morgan. I be town doct'r o' th' Isle de Provoka. Pleas'd tae meet ye. Seein' as this be yer ane ship, I'll take instruct'ns fr'm ye, though I be takin' nae orders from any bu' Kurisutofa aboar' this 'ere ship, an' onlae fr'm th' guv'ner o' Provoka oth'rwise"

He glances out over the city, and then smiles oddly, thinking to himself.

"We be 'avin' quite a job afore us, aye? 'Tis nae small town, an' this bein' a well armed crew"
