Crow's eyes lit up. She'd only been joking, but if Jizzy did want to go...
"I've been meanin' to work on my sun tan anyway," she said, looking ruefully at her eternally pale skin. "When d'you wanna go? After they blow up the school, or after they hog-tie a bully and hoist him up on the flagpole?"
Lenore gave a serious nod. She wanted to grow soon. Dei wouldn't want to hang around with her if she stayed little like this for much longer - super-hero pirates with neat tattoos had lots of important things to do that little kids would just get in the way of.
Looking around a bit aimlessly, she twisted her skirt shyly in her hands.
"D'you wanna go 'sploring now?"

"Hmm.. The explosions me thinks. That will get us in mroe trouble than the hog tieing." She thought. 'But the hog-tieing may lead to laysuits. So I say Mexico after explosions and Aruba afte hog-tieing. We can go on "business". " SHe said, makign her fingers do the quotations, smirking.
"Sure, Len. Where though. The forest..." Well, Deimos shuffled. He wasn't ready to take on the forest yet, even with his fire. "The forest doesn't like me all to much. Last tiem I went in, a tree attacked me."

Crow nodded eagerly.
"And maybe Cuba or Haiti in case they decide to liberate the class gerbils and set 'em free in the cafeteria. The possibilities are endless!"
Lenore gave a profound shudder and a sniffle as an unwelcome memory rushed back to her. Shivering as though with cold, she gave the forest a long, sad look before pointing randomly towards the green house.
"I....I don't like the woods, either. Bad stuff happen in there. Let's go look in the glass place - maybe there's somethin' neat to steal in there."

"Oh we'll be on vacation so much, we'll end up extra crispy." She said chuckling. "The problem with me and beaches is that I don't tan. I burn." SHe said, nodding slightly.
Deimos nodded in agreement and started off to the greenhouse, still keeping the stolen kerchief at his nose. The bleeding ahd stopped for the most part, but he'd rather keep it there for a while longer.
"I'll try to steal something for ya Len. Ok?" He said, glanicng at the building, wodnering what it would be that he could get her.

Stretching back down on the blanket, Crow gave a sigh.
"We'll get used to it - we might have to, since I have the most nagging feeling we'll be on the run for awhile..."
Cheering up a bit, Lenore skipped beside Dei as they wandered nearer to the glass-house thing.
"I like shiny stuff - do pirates steal lots of shiny things? Like jewl'ry and glasses and keys? I like keys - I got lots in my secret hidey-box under my bed. I gots a couple aminals I took, too! Well, more like lil' robots, but they're kinda alive, so I guess they're aminals too. What kinda stuff have you taked, Dei?" she asked, her rapid-fire questions signifying all was once again well.

"I share the feeling. It's like doom is breathing down my neck. I knwo it's there, it just hasn't struck quite yet." SHe said, leaning back onto her hands, lookin up at the icy winter sky for a moment. WHen Jabbir approach she looked up, leaning over Crow to read the note. "A quest! Len's gonna be a kid too. See, our palns are working perfectly!"
"Pirates steal loads of shiny things! The pirates taht have ships go to islands and bury big ol wodden boxes, like this big!" He made the indication of the large box with his hands. "They fill those up with gold and crowns and jewels and all sorts of stuff!" He said. "And as for me, I haven't taken much, not without getting caught. I stoled pirate sybol, and you pendant." He pointed to the blood pilled vial. "I stole the vial for that."

Crow gave Jabir a stunned look that quickly shifted to joy.
"All RIGHT! Looks like they'll be blowin' up stuff sooner than we thought!" Her joy died down a little as she read the note.
"Wait...she's been stealing stuff?"
Pushing the door open to the glass-thing, Lenore tried to imagine what kind of pretty things pirates stole all the time. Probably things like jewels and watches, and quarters. Lots and lots and lots of quarters.
"There's an island out on the pond! Did you bury lots of shiny stuff with the rest of your crew-thing?"
Toying with her blood-pendant, she stopped to admire the wintry sunlight that made the gently sloshing liquid within sparkle.
"I never take it off, ya know. It's my favorite thing in the whole world, 'cept for the bracelet Bah- no....Mawlakiiii...Mah-la-chi....oh, ya know, Rabid's kid. He gave me a pretty black bracelet." She stuck out her arm to show Dei the bracelet.
"Imma be a real good pirate - we'll steal somethin' from everyone in the whole world."

Jabir was a bit confused at the whole plan thing they kept mentioning, but he decided not to ask. It wasn't anything of his business
"Apparently she has. Raven insticts kicking in most likely" he replied at Crow's statement
Suddently realizing the time he said "I must go now. If you need any help do bother me or Maggie about it" he winked and left

Crow blushed a little too obviously and cleared her throat awkwardly.
"Instincts. Yeah. Uh, see ya later, Jabir. Say hi to Maggie for me."
Dude, I'm never stealing another thing in front of Len again, she thought to herself in embarrasment. Bad habits die hard, but she didn't think Len would pick up on Crow's dishonest skills so well...

Jizzy arched an eyebrow as she heard stealing things. "Well.. I'm sure you can find a way to cure her sticky fingers." She said,m trying to break the nervous air. "For Dei's quest, he had to face Erebus, a master demon thats currently taking residence inside Dei. It wasn't all to pleasant, I can assure you."
"Not yet. I have no ship,a nd I can't fly." He didnd't want to admit that he still didn't know how to swim, what kind of pirate couldn't swim. Certainly not a good one.
"I never take off you feather either." He said, bringing around his tail where the feather was strapped on tight. "And this too." He said, lifting up and inverted cross he wore across his neck. "Di gave me that, just kinda like Ike gave you that." He said peering aroudn the lush green house. Too many greens in here, nto enough shinies.
"We'lll be terrors of the seventeen seas!!"

Crow blinked in surprise.
"Jeez, he's got a demon in him? How're you supposed to get him out?
Looking around in the humid glass room, Lenore tried to see if there were any shiny things worth stealing. There were some nice flowers here and there, but nothing too shiny caught her eye...
"Yeah - we could have a whole army o' ships - maybe four or five, an' we could steal stuff from all over th' world and be famous and maybe we could be in a pirate movie too!"
Looking over at Dei's tail, she smiled as she saw the feather tied there.
"I could give ya one of my old sharpy feathers too - when I growed the las' time, they got all not sharp and safe. I give 'em as p'sents to my friends."
Pausing to sniff at an aromatic blue and purple flower that hung down from a thick vine, Lenore sneezed as the whitish pollen tickled her nose.
"Hmmm. Does your crew-thing have a name? It could be a good, scary name that ever'one be scared ta say - maybe like th'...th'....well, I dunno. What'd be a scary name?"

"THat's the trouble. They're sort of, bound together. It's got something to do with Dei's spell. Supposedly it was supposed to banish Erebus, but from what I hear, all it did was lock him inside a new body. Dei's body." She said with a sigh. Ever since she'd learned this she'd grown increasingly worried about him and how Erebus was acting.
Deimos smiled at the prospect of being captain of more than one ship. "If you gave me another feather, I'd need to find something fo mine to give to you." He said, and he didn;t really knwo what else he could give Len without ripping out half his cloak.
His eyes scanned the floor for any signs of buried treasure, but found nothing. "I dunno what our name is yet. But it should be scary, like that Voldy dude from Harry Potter." He said, and set off to thinking. He'd have to really really really think about this. What would his crew be called? Dei's pirates, albiet awesome, didn't really isntill much fear.

"Boy oh boy, but I'm sure that's gonna lead to trouble."
Crow couldn't think of what could possibly happen, but the possibilities were, after all, limitless. Preferring not to think of the damage that Lenore would most likely be cheering on like some sort of deranged cheerleader, she shook her head looked at the scribbled quest note again.
"Huh. Maybe I should get her to return all the stuff she took and make a public apology," Crow said, more to herself than to Jizzy.
Picking a pretty black-petaled flower and sticking it in her hair, Lenore twirled and made her skirt flare out around her.
"You don't need ta give me nuthin', Dei. You's my friend an' friends give stuff 'cause it makes friends happy, not 'cause they wants somethin' back."
Hopping in a slightly bird-like fashion around the plant-crowded floor, she looked up through the glass ceiling and squinted out at the blue winter sky.
"Huh. What'd be a good scary name..." Mama had read her all the Harry Potter books, and she was rather partial to the fearsome title of Death Eater. But, it wouldn't have quite the same ring to it with a group of ragtag pirates who were, well....not homicidal dark wizards.
"It might be a lil' harder than I thought to make one up," she said toying with the stem of the black flower.

"I suppose. That thought might get her pretty pissed at you." Jizzy said matter-of-factly. She knew that Deimos got rather angry whenever he was made to do something he didn't want to, and he wasn't easy to persuade either. She didn't know if this was the case for Lenore as well.
Deimos, brushhed his hands across the floor as he spotted somethign shiny, but tossed the old bottlecap away in dismay. that was no treasure. "I'm sure we'll find a name 'ventually and when we do it'll be something great. Myabe it will be so good it'll scare our Mother's too." He said in exitement.
