The pirate-turned-merchant blinked in surprise from being addressed just from sticking her head in the door. "Uh...no I don't have an appointment. I didn't know I needed one." She entered the building the rest of the way and bowed slightly out of an old habit. "I had just heard of you in the village and wanted to see how good you were. Obvisously better then other fortune tellers I have met." Orianna moved away from the door and closer to where Eloisa Lynn sat. "How much for a reading? A small one."
There was a banging from upstairs as Itzel worked on the babies' room getting the last things set into place. Orianna's eyes turned upwards and then she smirked a little. "I hope I don't too much of your time." There was a thickness to her voice, as though she use to have a much heavier accent but time had washed most of it away.

"Free. I been waiting for you," Eloisa Lynn, the very pregnant Fortune Teller said as she beckons Orianna Sheridan to enter and take a seat. "Hungry? I got apples if you are," she murmured as she smiles pleasantly enough.

"Free? Must be hard making ends meet then." Orianna said as she took the offered seat. "I ate before I made the hike but thank you for the offer." She wasn't sure what to say about the fortune teller expecting her though. "Um...well I was kinda wondering if you would know where I can find a new crew member around here? A few ran off on me this morning..." She let her voice trail off because she didn't want to unease the woman with her hostility towards those that had left.

"You came to look for a new crew member? You are far away from the village.. love," Eloisa Lynn said as she smiles lightly as she nods. "I know. You'll find 50 dubloons missing from your antique teapot. One of them men took it," she murmured. "Orianna.. if I may call you that?"

"Oh yes of course. No sense in formalities right now." She sounded chipper to mask her anger at the one who took some of her dubloons. Oh they would rue it when she got her hands on them. Her pirate name wasn't Soulless Sheridan for nothing after all. "Now about that crew member...is it a he, she, or it?" She chuckled lightly. The captain was most impressed with this woman so far. She was very happy that so far the hike had been worth it.

"She," Eloisa Lynn, the Fortune Teller replied to Orianna before she moved her hand over the crystal orb, about an inch from the actual smooth surface of the crystal ball. "My name is Eloisa Lynn James. You may call me the Fortune Teller or just Eloisa Lynn. Now let's move on, shall we? Your information has been passed on only 2 sunrises previous to this day."
"Now ok. Ms Sheridan.. you need to tread carefully or the past that you been avoiding may come back to haunt you. That is the only bad news overaall I got for you. The good news is you will find a crew member here.. honest, respectful and a hard worker. His name is Itzcoatl Varun> He will help you flourish your business, but it will be struggling at first. But ah I see something on the horizon for you, very unexpected. A love perhaps?" Eloisa Lynn murmured the last question as rhetorical, then she looked up and smiles softly. "Just be prepared for anything, wrong or right. You never know."

Orianna digested what Eloisa Lynn said before speaking. "Thank you for the warning. I am sure it will be helpful. You are very good at your trade." She then nodded a little thinking about the advise. "And this Mr. Varun is near here? Will I find him today?"
And as if on cue, the named man came trotting down the steps to see what his love was up to. "Hello there. Am I interrupting you Eloisa?" He nodded at Orianna who nodded back.

"No not at all love," Eloisa Lynn said as she smiles warmly up at Itzel, then breathes before she looks in Orianna's path. "Itzel.. this is Orianna Sheridan. She's a captain and a merchant," she said lightly as she took another bite of her yellow delicious apple, then chewed sensibly and swallowed it. "Orianna.. this is Itzcoatl Varun, my love. Remember the reading I gotten two morning agos from the stones. Shes the visitor searching for you."

"Ah I see. Well it is nice to meet you Ms Sheridan." Itzel said as he leaned down and kissed her on the cheek. Orianna stood and reached a hand out to him. "Well I suppose that you would know what I came here for then." She chuckled feeling oddly at ease in this place even though there were very few surprises.
Itzel took her hand and shook it lightly. "Actually Eloisa just told me someone would come would come looking for me. Other then that I know nothing." "Oh well...I am looking for someone to sail with me. Your lady tells me that you would be willing." Orianna said as she took a seat again. Itzel took a seat next to Eloisa to think about the offer before him.

Eloisa Lynn, the Fortune Teller looked araound as she smiles at Itzel before she pocketed the stones into the bag, then stocks underneath the table. Merely from that point, she just listened and munched on her apple.
"ITZCOATL!!!" A female voice screamed from upstairs before she stumbles and something crashed. Moments later, Lindsey walked downstairs in black pants and a belly-button black shirt. It seem that the sheer black with the pink, purple, and red flowers designed on it was merely a dress over it. "You.. left.. me holding the," she said as she pants, not finishing her sentence. Her midnight black hair was pulled back, braids and all, while her stomach was shown, a tribal sun tattoo ringed her belly-button. If she turned around, you could see some of the rays from the large tribal sun tattoo she haad in the middle of her back.

Itzel cringed as his sister bellowed at him and then when she reminded him he left her holding something. "I am so sorry Lindsey. You didn't get hurt right?" He stood up and reached to have her sit down. "Here take a seat and relax."
Orianna watched the scene somewhat amused. Her eyes took note of the new woman in the room and smiled at the tattoo. "I suppose I should tell you more about the situation. That way you can really decide if you want to sail with me." She then let them get situated again before she continued. "I run a business off my ship. I sell food supplies to other ships so that they don't have to come into port if they are on important trips. I also run a small tattoo parlor on the ship for those who want that sort of thing. I never go too far from shore. In fact I often make short runs between here and Tortuga and that is the farthest I go anymore. It doesn't take that long."

Lindsey just rolled her eyes at Itzcoatl before she just stood there at the doorway, then leaned against the wooden framing of the stairs. "Will it be far out?" she asked, by accident distrupting the conversation.
"This is Lindsey D'Caleigh, Itzel's baby sister," Eloisa Lynn added helpfully as she took another bite of her apple, munching thoughtfully.
Lindsey just nods from her position as she smoothed out her spandex-like pants her people made for lasting motions and peers at her flat boots before she looked up.

"A pleasure to meet you." Orianna said smoothly. "No it is not too far. We make the trip in about 3 weeks unless weather makes things difficult. However that doesn't happen very often." She reassured them. "There is about a two day layover in the ports so that I can get more stock."
Itzel listened to her and smiled a little. He could sail again and still take care of his family. He was very tempted and since Eloisa had Jenna and Lindsey to help her he wouldn't have to worry as much. Of course he would still worry though. "Can I think on it a bit more?" He asked the merchant careful about what he did.
"No rush. I just got into port today so we will be here for two more days. Take your time." Orianna said calmly. She hoped that he would accept though cause she couldn't leave port unless she had at least one new crewman. "Are there any more questions I can answer for you? Any of you?"

"Sounds good to me. I can take Itzcoatl's place when he needs to be here, but that is up to my big brother," Lindsey said as she lifted her face up to look at Orianna, making eye contact. That moment, the air crackled with electricity before she looked away at her brother. "Well Itzcoatl?" she murmured.
Eloisa Lynn patted Itzel's hand as she smiles, then nods. "Do what you need to do.. love," she murmured then nods in agreement.

Itzel looked between the two women he cared about for a moment or two. He was touched that they were so ok with it. "I...ok I will join you. I will come to the docks in two days time." He said as he grinned from ear to ear. He felt like this time things would be different. Not like last time.
Orianna felt the energy fly down her spin as her eyes met Lindsey's and it surprised her. But hearing that she had a new member to her crew was good to hear. "Wonderful. I shall look for you then." She then stood and streached a little seeing as she was unuse to sitting on the floor. "Well I will take my leave of you then. Oh and..." She took a few dubloons out of her money pouch and laid them on the table in front of Eloisa with a smile. She waved and then left the house before any protest could be heard. It had been a good day after all.
((end?))
