Aubry walked along the upper deck, and eventually sat down on a barrel of water. she rubbed her eyes.
"hello..." a spirit ball said. it was one that Kibo had sent over for her crew. the rest of the crew was already accustomed to her, but it as quite a surprise to Aubry. once she realized what it was, she calmed down.
"salutations..." she said quietly.
"is there anything that i can do captain? you seem depressed." the ball turned into the body of a young girl.
"no, i would prefer my solitude actually..." she said, and the girl shrugged and faded, leaving Aubry alone.

Sunny felt her heart being dragged in two opposite directions. She wanted to stay with Kibo, should he need her, and yet she wanted to go so not to distract him. She let out an anguished moan and finally gave in.
"Kibo.... Be safe and should you need me send for me. I won't stray far!" She finally shouted at her love interest and forced herself to leave.
Her feet followed the path Aubry had earlier taken and she found herself looking at Aubry from accross the deck. "May I intrude!?" She called, not wanting to invite herself aboard.

Sensing she wasn't welcome she walked back to the Godspeed. She had to stop herself from running back below deck and into Kibo's arms. Instead she sat against the mast and prayed for his safety as well as Storm's.

[Praying for the safty of one who had hurt her? Jeeze, this girl's like a door mat, but worse. talk2hand By the way, love the irony of Sunny losing conciousness and then you signing off to go to bed. heart ]
Storm had, of course, heard Aubry but did little more then turn her lips up in a smile. She was, for once, contented in knowing the truth herself and not sharing it for all as had become her custom when she had left the Underdark. Being lied to all the time tends to make one tired of it all.
Storm didn't take her blood and silver orbs from Kibo, not trusting him enough even to rely on her own sense.
"Jay, m'dear, you should go. I wouldn't wnat any harm to come to an innocent girl. Go be with Aubry or the crow girls or something."
She turned so that Kibo was faceing her leftside, assuming a weaponless water dancer stance. Storm sounded bemused.
"Have you really sunken so far, mister Kibo, as to fall for that weakling? Mary Catherine was not unfamilar with her weapons, as well you know."
She knew mentioning that old lover's name would hurt him, slightly at least.

"I can handle myself." Jay said smoothly, drawing her pistol for effect and feeling her Sparrow tatoo burn slightly.

Storm's smiled increased at Jay's words.
"Can you now, girlie? Why then, isn't your pistol trained on me? You'll only get one shot, you know. Wouldn't want you to miss, now would we?"

"Why would I only get one shot?" Jay smiled, reaching into her coat pocket and pulling out at least ten more bullets and a small package of gunpowder. She then aimed the pistol at Storm. "Better?"

Ranu nodded, walking to the arch. He stopped moving in the arch and swore, having to come back. His eyes lay on the arch as if reading words. "Would guard against the un-bloody-dead, wouldn't you?"
He stood back a moment, closing his eyes. It may have seemed he'd fallen asleep he stood still so long, but when his eyes opened, they seemed lighter and his skin, had it been visible in the dull light offered by the graveyard, would have been tanned again. "It hurts to... Keep the power... Hidden..." He said through gritted teeth.
He ran at the arch, passing through and letting out a sigh of relief as his skin redulled and his eyed turned blackish again. "Ow."

Kibo: You're distracted, dear.
He said it in Storm's ear, as her head faced Jay.
Kibo: Oops, too slow.
As he spoke, Storm, Jay, and everyone on that deck heard a sickening squish, as Charon's right arm, in place of his own, plunged into her stomach. Within seconds, his hand has found her spine, and used it as a handle to throw her to the side, before pinning her to the wall with daggers to the wrists, ankles, and throat.
Kibo: Now leave.
He snaps his fingers, and Storm's lifeless body crumbles into dust as a new body is constructed around her soul, on Tortuga's beach. Charon's arm recedes back into the Squillodicella, and the blood boils off his hand as it does so. Kibo shouted to her, even though she couldn't hear him.
Kibo: Enjoy that gift, Storm. You've officially been raised by the art of Necromancy.

Sunny's head snapped up when she heard a fairly disturbing sound. "Kibo..." she gasped with worry, wringing her hands together. She heard Aubry's voice and looked back toward the direction of her voice. "Aubry?" she asked, slightly puzzled.

Storm stumbled, looking aorund, somewhat confused. She rubbed her stumach then, remembering the pain and giving a howl of anger, realizing what Kibo had done.
"That b*****d!"
She fell to her knees then, no longer feeling the strength ot support herself, and cried then, knowing with a rush of a wind that only she felt, just what Kibo's little "gift" had meant. Storm had an odd feeling of being much full before her body adjusted to haveing a full spirit in it once more. A sharply spoken word took her to the tavern, where Storm schooled her features and nuresed her strange silver wine.

Aubry also had heard the snap. she barely had seen Storm's body on the dock, but it disappeared, probably to the tavern. she ran to the Godspeed, and went to Kibo, almost forgetting her depression.
"what did you do?" she demanded. eyes flaring. she had never seen Storm look so helpless before.

Jay's eyes widened and then she pointed her pistol at Kibo. "Yes, Kibo," she asked codly, "What DID you do?" Her free hand went to her cutlass. Perhaps I can make my sword catch fire? Will did it, why can't I?

Sunny saw Aubry rush to the lower deck and felt her blood run cold. She sprinted after her in time to see Kibo's arm returning to normal. She ignored everything else, running to him to check and make sure he was alright. "KIBO!" She cried out as she ran to his side. "Are you alright? What happened?!" she fretted, hugging him tightly.
