'What?' Darien asked, looking away quickly. 'Don't know whatyou're talking about, chum.' he denied, moving away from the side of the boat. 'Well, come on, then.' he said, escorting towards the chart room.
Upon arriving in the chart room, he leaned against the table, staring down at the dagger in the table. Once Bo came into the room, he pointed atthe dagger, and what it was stuck in, and spoke, 'Insula de Vita. The Island of Life. It is said that any man who walks these shores with an ailment, will be cured of it immediately. I know why, and that's what we're after.'

A small row boat rows in to shore. It was left there by its one man crew. He walks in to the town full of drunks and hores was all he could see. He was told that this place would have the pirates with the ships he needed. As a drunk came his way he grabbed his Okima and gripped it tightly. The drunk paid no mind and kept walking. He sighed seeing the drunk go. No need to let anyone about my skills yet... He though as he entered the bar. The Bar was just one big party and drunken fights. He said down and held his finger up for ale. The waitress gave it to him and he started to sip on it as he looked around for a crew to join or to put together.

Bo shook her head as he denied the fact like it was nothing, she almost laughed but she managed to hold it in. So she folloed Darien back to the chart room with all the maps to see where he had marked and what the hell was going on.
'Insula de Vita."
"got a cold have you?"
Bo asked, thinking that he had sneezed in his pronounciation of whatever the hell he had to say. She only spoke two languages, English and Bad English so she didn't understand.
"The Island of Life. It is said that any man who walks these shores with an ailment, will be cured of it immediately. I know why, and that's what we're after."
Lucky for Bo he was kind enough to translate himself. When he spoke about the treasure they where after Bo was more then convinced that there would be treasure to go along with this adventure, there was never an isle of such importance that didn't have some form of expencive shiny thing.
"I'm startin' to like this trip"
She said, shoveing Darien asside to plot the quickest and best corse to their destination.

Darien smiled. 'Well, I'm glad you approve.' he said, jestingly. 'So, how long will it take for you to plot our course? And do you need any help?' he asked. 'I may not know much about the workings of ships, but I know maps and charts damned well.' he said, moving to the opposing side of the table.

"Not long if we are going for a quick trip."
She responded to how long it would take. She continued to look over the map and draw imaginary lines with her mind to plot the best of several corses.
When he offered to help she looked up with a grin on her face that said she didn't need help plotting a corse but she had another use for him at the moment.
"Do ye' know any stops on the way that might be.... benificial to our cause?"
She said, trying to make it sound as legal as possible dispite the fact it was obviously not. As a treasure hunter this guy should know where all the good loot was hidden, and should be able to give her some real good tips as to where might be a good place to stop for a few minutes and.... re-stock.

'I know of a place right about...' he took out a small blade from his bracer, and poked it at a small island, '... there. There's a small rum-runner's cache there that might be... good for us.' he said. 'That's not all they have there, though. I'm pretty sure of that.'

Bo smiled, this guy was quickly becomeing her faveorate person on board.
"Perfect, and if we are lucky we might even catch the rum-runners."
She said wickedly. Who wouldn't want a practicly free extra ship?! that was like christmass come early! Not that she really ever celabrated it but still.

Weaving her way out f the bar, and clear of its patrons, Myyth walked back towards the ship, not overly concerned with how things were progressing. If Bo and some others wated to fight for it, the rum might even show up. She wasn't concerned either way in anycase.
Stepping outside she noticed that somome on the ship was looking in her direction, but then left the rail. Not thinking much of it, she walked over an onto the ship, glancing around to see where Bo was at.

'Well, I think I just spied Gwen returning to the ship. Shall we be off now?' he asked, almosttoo anxious to leave. 'This item is of extreme worth, and I doubt I'm the only... hunter... going for it. The faster we beatthem there, the better we are off.' he said, tapping his rings together nervously.
'Don't worry, I'm in no trouble here, but the rumours I've caught of who else is running for this thing... are troubling. One of my old friends, turned rival.' he admitted, shaking his head frustratedly. 'That's why I want to learn how to use a gun properly.' he said, fingering the pistol he had bought.

Bo listened to his whole story before makeing a comment of any sort. Best not to make him lose track and start all over again! When he was fineshed and gave a real explanation for wanting to learn how to use a gun Bo shook her head.
"That be a better reson then just worrin' 'bout us bein' attacked."
Bo said, walking over to him and his gun. Bo took the gun from him and held it up at eye levle, giveing it a once over like any well trained gun-man. When she was done looking it over she shook her head again, personaly she wouldn't count on this for more then show but she was picky with her weapons.
"Well... It will fire, but I wouldn't count on it for more then show. It is a verry pritty gun, yes, but usualy the prittier the gun the worse off you are... usualy"
She told him, handing him back the gun. She pulled her own gun from her waist and held it out for him to see, it wasn't fancy at all, no gold plateing or anything but unlike Darian's... hers seemed to have been used hundreds of times over. The tip was plastered over with pouder that wouldn't come off no matter how many times it was polished, the barrol was scuffed from harsh use and the handle was scratched from battles long past.
"See.... unlike mine, yours has no show of wear and tear... meaning that if it had a past owner, he didn't trust it ether...... now... lets go find Gwen"
Bo stated as she holstered her gun and walked out onto deck in surch of Gwen.

Spotting Bo on deck, Gwylen walked over to him wondering how to phrase the news. Shrugging she decided to just come out with it. "Bo, I'm over here." Walking over to him to had to woder if they even needed the rum, what would it be like to be on a ship without drunkenness? Ta, not in this ocean she had to think ruefully.
"The fresh food should be onborad now, for the most part. But if you want the rum, you'll havet to take a few men and go get it."

Noir was busy below decks, he was simply exploring all the different nooks and crannies of the ship. This was in reality only the second ship he had ever boarded, the other being on a special request from a client to "retreieve" some documents from a large navy ship. In truth he was actually lost. He had taken 3 right turns, a left and another right but when he tried to go back that way, he found that he was utterly lost. He readjusted the large sack on his shoulder wondering if he would ever find someplace he could bunk.

Bo waved off the comment about the rum, she had no care for the stuff. Especaly at sea where she could get her butt kicked halfway accross deck for drinking too much.
"Lets set sail then.... is everyone abord?"
She Bo said, takeing a mental inventory of everyone she had seen board. the other girl... Gwen... the treasure hunter... THE LITTLE THEIF BOY! They where missing the little clueless boy!
"Where is the clueless boy?..... nevermind.... he probably would be more of a nusence then anything.... STARA!!! RIG THE SAILS AND GET READY TO MAKE WAY!"
Bo called up to the crows nest as she made her way to the side to untie the boat from the docks.

Upon hearing her name from below, Stara gently snapped out of her momentery leisure and straightened up. We all ready then? Guess relaxin's over. She thought, peaking over the side. When she saw the captain, she signaled she understood with a light nod, and placed on foot on the Nest's edge. "Will do, captain." She called out, now standing completely atop the rim. Moving towards the side, she quickly jumped down next to the origin of the sails. Walking rather fast for someone placing one foot infront of the other, she reached the first out of two knots that kept the sail tied up. Once the left side of the sail was beginning to dangle, she made way to the right side and repeated the what she'd donw on the other side.
Soon enough, the main sail was waving freely against the winds. She then walked back towards the Nest, clung onto the shrouds, and began her desent. When she reached the main deck, she slid across the few people unboard towards the starboard side, where she tide one of the loose end of the sails. Once that was in a strong knot, she made way to the port side of the boat, doing the same with the other loose end. Overlooking the sails one last time, she crossed the deck to the nearest shroud and climbed a few feet before speaking. "Sails are ready, cap'n!" She called out, not really knowing the captain's actual location.

Bo was reeling in a rope on the starbord side of the boat so as to untie her from the docks. When she heard that all sails where ready she turned about to check the work.... shockingly well done! Bo approved... except for one problem.
"What about the masts at the bow and stern?"
She demanded of the crewmember. with just wind in one sail it ment nothing, the two others needed to be rigged as well to assist in steering the boat.
