Kibo's ear twitches slightly as a spirit floats over to it, whispering something to him. Sunny wasn't as normal as she put on. The white pupils should have tipped him off.
Kibo: Hey Sunny, how about taking a look at the ship you'll be serving on? You'll probably want to pick out your quarters, no?

Sunny beamed and nodded animatedly. "That sounds fantastic!!!" She cheered excitedly.
((LIFE!!! THERE IS LIFE!!! lol.))

((That's exactly how I felt all day. But I was dragged away for "PSAT Training." My dad got a fancy new book, and needed someone to try it out on. Apparently being in the top 10th percentile isn't good enough.))
Kibo: Excellent!
He gets up, offering her a hand, before leading her out of the tavern.
Kibo: There it is. The creepy looking one.
He points to a ship that looked like it was made entirely of vines and glass.
Kibo: Wait until you get inside. Enchanted ships are fun.

"She's serving in Kibo's fleet?" Jay asked Storm quietly.

Sunny gaped up at the vessel in awe. Unsure of what to say she simply gulped and followed him inside. "Enchanted... Fun... Yeah...." She fished for anything intelligent to say. "This reminds me of how Great Great Grandma described The Flying Dutchman" She whispered. She looked especially closely to see if there were any poor souls set into the actual riggings and planks of the ship.

Storm shrugged.
"It seems as if dearest Sunny has decided to join with the dozens of other fools and serve along in the so called Spirit Fleet."
She gave Jay a queer look.
"What do you care, though? The girl's like as not to be sailing to her doom, whilest you are here in safty and warmth."

Kibo: Bah, the Flying Dutchman is a dingy compared to this beauty. Now, to show you my favorite pat.
Kibo leads her belowdecks.
Kibo: Now watch.
The lower decks of the ship were larger than physically possible for a ship of it's relatively small size. It was a huge maze of corridors, rooms, and more. He opens the first door, revealing a room the size of a football field, with a disproportionally large four-poster bed, a beautifully designed vanity and chair, and fine floors, all seemingly made from the same vines that formed the rest of the ship.
Kibo: Every room is this big. All of my ships are like this, although the Godspeed is the biggest belowdecks. After all, the flagship would get the most attention.
As he was explaining, his eyes widened as one of his spirits walked through the wall, into the room from behind Sunny. He blinks, and the spirit disappears, before she could see. He knew he had to tell her sooner or later, but he figured he'd wait until she had at least chosen her room.

Sunny looked around the room. Something wasn't right here. First off she had a REALLY bad feeling, other than the eerie feeling of being watched. "How... How did you come accross such magnificent... Err... Arrangements?" She managed to tactfully inquire. A deal with the devil wasn't too far-fetched with pirates.

Kibo: That woman who held a dagger to your throat? Yes, she used to be quite generous. She enchanted my blades. I reworked the magic, using a hell of a lot of reading, to use in my ships. So, how about you pick out your room? They're all basically like this, besides the color scheme.

Sunny was still skeptical, but she had faith in herself. She took a deep breath and smiled. "Sure thing... Where do I sign?" She joked to alleviate her tension. It couldn't be too bad compared to the tales her family had shared.

"You've a point," Jay said, folding her arms.

((Hey, I finally found out the name for those spirit orb thingies!))
Kibo: Trust me, I don't ask my crew to sign any books. The last book I almost signed would have taken my soul, so I don't want my crew to think I would do the same. But I will hold you to your word. However, before I get that word, there's something I need to tell you...
He takes a few steps away from her, snapping his fingers. A glowing orb appears at his fingertips, floating around his hand lazily.
Kibo: This is a Hitodama. It's the spirit of a departed human. I can bring them back to life. Please allow me to re-introduce myself. I am Admiral Kibo Botch, commander of the Spirit Fleet, Necromancer extraordinaire.

Sunny felt a wave of dizziness. "Undead?! Really?!" She asked in disbelief. "I... Just..." She wobbled on her feet and keeled forward. "I need to sit down... And tea... GOOD tea...." She whimpered.

Kibo snaps his fingers, and the chair, which appeared to be growing right from the deck, moved across the floor, catching Sunny as he collapsed. Three plants bloom at Kibo's feet, despite the fact there was no water around. The first was a fully developed tea plant, but with pods instead of leaves. He holds his hand out, and perfectly crushed tea falls from one of the pods. He takes a glass and pot, seemingly out of nowhere, and prepares the tea. He then turns to the second plant, sugar cane, and snaps his fingers. A perfect cube of sugar is formed on it's tip, and Kibo drops it in. Finally, he plucks a few leaves off the final plant, and drops them in the tea. He brings it over to Sunny, handing it to her.
Kibo: There. Earl Grey, one sugar, with violet. Guaranteed to be some of the most delicious tea you've ever tasted.
The plants where he was standing wither and disappear.
Kibo: Trabamancy.
He pulls up his right sleeve, revealing a line of 9 rune markings, separated from the rest dotting his body by a thick tattoo line. He points to the 7th.
Kibo: These markings each contain the spirit of someone who mastered their respective form of mancing, or control to shape and bend an object..
He runs his hand down to each marking.
Kibo: Pyromancy: Fire. Aeromancy: Air. Lumemancy: Light. Atermancy: Darkness and Shadows. Aquamancy: Water. Terramancy: Earth, rocks, and metal. Trabamancy: Plants. Biomancy: Living Organisms, and chemicals. I can use it to heal the wounded. And finally, Mentismancy: The Mind. I have next to no control over that one. I sometimes end up reading people's minds by accident.
