Marius climbed aboard the ship. He had dried enough, while he was climbing the rope, so that he wouldn't leave a puddle that he would have to clean up on the deck. It seemed that while he was not on the ship, it had been made ready to sail. He hoped that he wasn't the last person to come aboard, but even if he was, he had still gotten here in a reasonable amount of time.
There were a good amount of people around the deck, not working, so he figured that everything that had needed to be done had gotten done, at least for the moment. He looked around the deck, and headed over to where a group of the pirates were sitting.

Samuel though just a moment ago he had offered his servives he didnt want to offend the lass any more then he already had.
Seeing as she was wearing a skirt he grabbed the rope and closed his eyes. He climbed quickly up just behind her making a point that she would see that his eyes were closed he didnt open them as such he hadnt seen the water he was jumping into in which he slipped and slid on his back abit.
"Well atleast I didnt look up her skirt."he mummble abit opening his eyes and standing to his feet and wipping himself off. He walked up beside her and looked about trying to figure out whom she was calling out too.
"Lost your boyfriends." He clapped his hands over his mouth in fear that he had offended her again.
"Sorry loose island tongue."

Tia headed back to where the others were gathering she hoped Mariko would do what Tia had said to her. Turning her attention to Marey she raised a brow at the way she was acting.
"No we are fine with work for now and Id like to take this time to get to know the crew." Then for everyone that was listening Tia begain the introductions with herself.
"My name is Tia Catterwall, for right now Im no one special just a hard working deckhand. Ive sailed the seas all my life, but like you this is my frist day on this ship."

"Oh, okay." Marey nodded and joined the others. She waited for Tia to finish her introduction, deciding to introduce herself after. "My name is.. Marey Sandlar," She began, hesitating at her name. She decided against telling anyone her first name. She didn't like it, and she wouldn't be very thrilled if the name 'Leika' stuck with her, even on a pirate ship. "I haven't been sailing all my life, unlike Tia. Actually, I've only been on a boat once or twice, but that doesn't mean I can't learn to sail. I'm sure I will." She ended with a quick smile.

Aiden could only smile at the compliment Tracey offered him. It was pleasant to see that the awkward conversation between the two of them had only became a greater respect and understanding. "I do appreciate your comment Tracey and I hope your position will be enough to show my thanks." With Tracey Tans promoted, the captain would have a much easier time keeping the ship in order. Rubbing his chin, the man debated whether or not he was promoting too many pirates in one grouping. With a shrug, he tried to brush it off. Afterall, it was difficult to sail without a sturdy crew.
As Tracey began to leave the room, he stopped to turn and offer the captain a bit of advice. Hearing it out and realising it was about Alexis, or simply women in general, McCallahan could not help but chuckle. As good natured as the dragon-kin was, or as suave as he seemed with most women, he did often find himself in a heap of trouble and it was nice to hear a bit of advice from someone outside the situation. Thanking Tracey again, the captain thought deeply as to what he said. Since Aiden met Alexis he had tried compliments and romantic antics, but as of yet, it did not seem as though any of them were really getting to the woman. Rubbing his chin further, the man decided to try a few new ways to go about flirting.
With a nod, McCallahan waved his hand to send Tracey to fetch the next person. "Ai, please fetch me the next pirate and if Tia is the one you send forward, please take her place as keeping order aboard the ship."

The captain didn't have to show any thanks, but he certainly wasn't going to turn it down. "Yes, sir" He answered back respectfully, actually meaning the tone.
Leaving the room, he closed the door and headed on to the deck. He looked to see if Tia was on busy, she was his priority, not Alexis; however, if the dragon-kin female looked ready to go down there.

Spotting Tracey, Zaldeer let out another loud "OI!" before dashing over to him, dripping water where she ran, looking indifferent to this fact. "How did things go fer ye?" she asked, a shudder running through her lithe body from the cold of the ocean, and from her lack of clothing.
Hopefully, she wouldn't make herself ill.
"Did ye get any new recruits?" Her voice was excited, and she could feel how close they were to being on the open ocean, an grin sliding over her features, showing her excitement.

Alexis watched Tracey appear back on deck, she smiled and somehow knew that Tia would be the one to go and see Aiden next. She didn't care though, she was going to talk to him sometime anyhow and a little wait wouldn't kill her. She noticed a bird fly overhead, she watched it soar and it reminded her of how it must feel to be able to fly around without people being afraid. Perhaps when she got away from the Isla she would finally be able to fly just a little more freely.

The loud call for attention from the dripping wet Victora jerked his attention. At least it didn't look like he was the only one that got really wet. He nodded to her and remarked, "Yes, I brought two Able Seamen personally and sent a new recruit on ahead. In addition, one other is considering staying with us, I hope she will." The dragon-kin female meant a lot to the captain, staying on her good side would be critical.
"You really should go below decks and dry off, did you find anyone?" She looked excited, thats for sure. His feeling about going to the ocean was mutual with hers.
Since the dragon-kin female didn't look to be in a hurry to go below deck, he felt more comfortable with wanting to let Tia down first. Besides, in the end it would give the dragon-kin female more time.

"Aye, I found one on the beach, and a potential, but other then that, ye've seemed to have better luck than I," she said, smirking. "Nay, I'll be fine. I've been wetter n' this afore." With that, she took off her right boot, went over to the rail, and dumped the water from it, not daring to remove the left one. She'd just deal with the odd sensation--not that it was really all that odd; it was the kind of lack of, to be completely honest.
Trudging back over to Tracey, Zaldeer thought for a moment, "Do ye know where the Captain is? I want ta' tell him o' the recruits I got," she said, hoping that she'd dry off soon. She didn't like the looks of the storm clouds she saw far off in the distance. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts of them, she looked at her sword and wiped it across her skirts, drying it off as best she could.

He nodded, one was better then none, how many people were on the ship, he wondered and started to look around the ship to count people. Looking back to Victoria, he answered her, "Yes, know where he is, right now, Tia is next to talk to him then Alexis, the dragon-kin lady."
With the clouds in the distance, he really hoped they wouldn't be there too longer.

Mariko smiled gaily and drew up a salute for herself as well as the broom as Tia walked off.
"Aye, Madamossie," she chirruped happily behind her. "But Ah hasn't even seen this El Caputainny yet, how does Ah know he isn't like my last..." she counted. "Four... Five Captains? 'Course, they all ordered me dead or dropped off at the nearest whorehouse. Ah dun care for walking teh plank, but Ah have no qualms against it either, eh, I can swim, and if necessary, Ah sell me soul o' mine to de Devil..." She thought for a while. "Hey.... Would you, Miss Taa [Tia] buy my soul? I'll just charge 10 dubloons... I mean, it's not like I'm using it or anything." She twirled the mop around in her arms and spun it downwards and began to zing around the deck, slopping water off the railings, singing, "Ah ain't like Ah cinnot sing again, Eet ain't dat Ah cin't fly. Aht's ba-cause-" she took a dramatic breath. "Bahcause I barbequed my last captain's favorite parrot and ate it over bread for lunch!" She paused as if considering, and waltzed over to Tracey on board and whispered in her ear, "Eet was a might fine parrot too. Delicious."

Tracey stepped away from the very strange woman and shook his head, as if to get rid of the sounds of her whispering in his ear. "Miss, kindly never do that again." Even if he didn't care strongly for Tia, he still didn't like to hear the gargled English nor did he like having some unknown female so close to him.

(( O_O Oopss! I'm so sorry. I thought Tracey was a girl! gonk Sorry! I wouldn't have had Mariko do that to a boy. Aww weelllll!))
Mariko tilted an eyebrow. "What, eat teh parrot? Nooooo wayyy!" She guffawed loudly. "It gimme'ed a grog-and-over the rails for two days straight after-" she smiled. "Oh. Nevermind, that was teh captain's finger. My last captain of course." She laughed loudly at Tracey's disturbment.
"Cheery up, sonnyladdy, Terry, yahh, Tracey," she chortled. "It ain't gonna rain if ya keep on stuffin' up like that!"
With that, she swung the broom over her shoulder, narrowly missing his head, and danced away, wiping up the deck as she went.
