Welcome to Gaia! ::

From her place down the table, Destiny smiled confidantely at the Captain.

I believe that you will get us out of this yet sir. Although I'm just the cook, I will do whatever you need. Switching veins, she asked " Would you like some roast sir? We have some mashed potatoes, with a few onions, or would you prefer broiled fish?

She presented both dishes with a flourish for his approval and selection.

*she looked at all the delicious food*
mmm.....potatoes....

Syn crouched in the corner, listening to the conversation carefully, her face drawn and nervous. The smell of the food taunted her nostrils, the small Purser shifting uncomfortably, resisting the urge to plug her nose so she wouldn't be tormented with memories of eating. She disliked how her reluctance to eat would give her an appearance of rudeness, but there wasn't much she could do about it. Instead, she tried to put her focus on her clothing, deciding what, if anything, should be done for it. The ragged jacket that hung on her shoulders had needed patching months before now but repairing it at the moment was not necessary. Come to think of it, her entire minuscule wardrobe needed repair, but there was the good chance she'd never even need a wardrobe again anyway.
And thoughts of clothing were not enough to sway her attention from the food, so instead she began to hum a classic pirating tune, gray eye staring at the others and the food.

-: Attempting to swallow his food and talk at the same time, Jack nearly choked, but cleared his throat and got it down before uttering any real words. "I've thought of that already. Though, I'll need everyone's co-operation when dealing in the matter. It's going to take some getting used to, but I think the crew will deal with the matter well enough."

Setting his fork aside, Kurisutofa sat back with his tankard in hand. Swilling the drink about in his mouth, he sat back thinking of how he'd pull this little masquerade off. It would take cunning. It would take bravery. It would take some very ill-placed judgment on part of the British Officers to get the Lady's crew ashore without notice.:-

-: Hearing Midnight's request through the loud din of his own thoughts, Jack placed aside his tankard and rose from his place at table. "Make it so, Miss Midnight. See that your things are stowed away daintfully and quite at home. We wouldn't want anything to go awry would we?"

Smiling at her as she stared at him with that quizical 'what-are-you-up-to' gaze, Jack nodded and half saluted her as she left the galley. He too would have to leave soon, for there was much to do and little time to do it in. The 'Boadicea' was likely to be just off their starboard quarter within the next few minutes, and he wanted to be ready when their Captain hailed the Brig.

Shoveling down the last of his supper, Jack washed it down with the remaining wine in his tankard and rose from his place only long enough to grab his pipe and tobacco. Stuffing his pipe and lighting it, Jack puffed a few smoke rings over the head of the table. "So, is everyone ready for absolute chaos, because that is what's going to happen the moment we step foot on deck..." :-

*She raised her eyes to the Captain and nodded slowly. Her pause and quieted demeanor simply showed she was deep in thought as she took up her glass to drink once more. Jaden was worried of what was to lie ahead, but she felt confident that their little ruse would suffice for the time being and give the crew time to iron out a plan of action for when they reached port.*

*Stands and bows*

Thank you for the meal, it was quite delicious if I do say so myself.

*Faces the Captain*

Right away Sir

*heads up to the Main Deck*

Destiny stood up, and waved to the departing crew. She and Aeoess quickly cleared the tables of the remaining dishes, and placed them in the sinks for later cleaning. She threw more fat into the fire, and locked the stove, so there would be no chance of stray sparks escaping.
She put the left over food into the cool chest, and then wiped her hands.
She retied her braid back into the faded blue bandana that always wore, and dusted the flour from her trousers.

Turning to Aeoess, she said " I guess we had better make our way to our assigned stations. It has been a pleasure to work with you. See you when we get out of this."
