"Name's Tear by the way Tear Silvermolder." She took the half-dragon's hand shaking it tightly. Tear may have been an elf, but being raised by dwarves had bade her as strong as the rest.
"If your a lookin for a ship lass, we did see a ship as the Truesilver pulled in somethin called the Nighthawk or somethin long thos lines" Kol told her.
"Don't trust em though Look like pirates t' me. Don't want my niece travelin with those sorts. She's too good for em."

Dimitri tried as he settled back against the wall and tavern watching the strange bird girl and the elf talking to each other and he rolled his eyes. He sighed as he reached into his pocket and pulled out one of his old cigarettes and lit puffing it gently as he watched the two of them.

(Sorry for the delay, got distracted by other things) Snatching an apple from a nearby open crate, Mizzen casually munched on the juicy piece of fruit, her razor sharp teeth tearing the apple to shreds with the ease of cutting warm butter. Recognizing Ratchet long before he reached her side, she was surprised to see he had another woman in tow. Despite how he was hauling her about by the arm she doubted this was a young lovers moment. She always considered Ratchet more of the lone wolf type. "And? What I am suppose to do about that? Thats your department." Mizzen countered, tossing the core of the apple over her shoulder into the ocean. "Test her as you see fit and if she passes, she joins your gunnery crew.""Just be sure you stay out of the grunts way while they get everything loaded." she added, helping herself to another apple.

He shrugged. "Hey I was just askin'. I know how you are about lettin' others onboard." he replied with a faint chuckle. Placing a hand on his head he pulled out a small box, inside it contained a very pretty, and expensive looking jeweled brooch.
"I...got ye this when I was out." he said hoping she wasn't still mad at him. This woman always loved sparkly things, most of them did that's why he thought them mostly to be trouble. Ratchet had kept his heart locked and hidden the key somewhere where no girl would ever find it. He didn't want to experience heartbreak again.
Turning to Minara he crossed his arms. "Alright! Onto the ship with you! I've got a room onboard that will test to see if you ain't just blowin' steam!" he said to her with a wink.

Arturia Latouka
===============================================
Aturia had a light smile as she waited for something, thats when she was cut off by the elf shaking her hand lightly. Her eyes closed briefly as she took a breath out to smile. "Currently my name is of little importance." She said the sun glowing on her three crystals to hide the glow on one of them and maybe to catch a pirates attention. She then heard the dwarf's comment and a head feather twitched, "there are things worse then pirates... especially to those with treasures from the Ivory kingdom." She said rather bluntly. Only a master treasure seeker or pirate could tell her gems were from Lunaris and arturia wanted the best to help her. So she kept being mysterious and not saying all that she knew.
=============================================== Magic: Light and healing
Weapons: two daggers, long bow

"Fine by me! I'd be a little disappointed if I didn't get ta show off me stuff first." Minara grinned as she drew her flintlock from its holster at her side, giving it a spin around her finger before holding it.
((Hurrr crap post. Brain died. x_x))

Eating the second apple core and all, Mizzen took the offered box from Ratchet. "Its beautiful..." she commented in an uncharacteristically passive tone of woed woman, pulling it from the box and watching as the setting sun played across the gems surface.
Realizing how many eyes were upon her during that moment of weakness, Mizzen quickly hardened back into her normal icy nature. "But don't let it happen again." she added, louder than necessary but with a few evil stares the crew swiftly returned to their mindless task.
Clearing her throat she returned the brooch's box to Ratchet and quickly secreted the brooch itself away in her shirt. Once aboard the Nighthawk she would find a chain to match it and add it to her personal stash if not wear it right away.

Giving a salute he watched her quietly. Mizzen wasn't a bad woman to be around, sure she was a little gruff, but she was nice once you got to know her. The woman was only gruff because she cared about the crew so much. A gentle smile fell upon his face as he watched her stiffen up again and stare at him coldly.
"Aye! I won't! Sorry 'bout that Cap'n!" he said giving her a nod of respect. She was called Captain when the real Captain was away. Yet Ratchet had always felt that Miz was the true Captain of the ship, at least she was always given the most important tasks.
Taking the girls hand he led the pistol twirling squirt down into the ship and into a small room he had designed himself to train. The ship was big enough and the real Captain had let him so as they entered a room filled with all sort of targets and such he crossed his arms.
"Alright, I want you to hit every one of those targets..once and only once! No re-trys!" he said sterly testing her. Grinning he pushed a button on a small console and the targets began to move around. Some looked like badly draw sea monters, while others were pirates or ghosts. It was almost like one of those games you saw at the carnival. He had designed it himself to help him aim better with his cannon. It wasn't uncommon to hear him blasting it up in the steel room he had built.
(eh it's magic/the power of engineering. I figure the ships big enough. razz )

A hooded girl was pulled up on stage at the slave market. One could tell that she had come from a rich family maybe even royalty by the way she stood. She was being sold to be a sex slave. "Gentelman I have lovely seed right here. Her virginity still in tact. I will start the bidding at 10 silver. Do I hear 10 silver." The hood was pulled back to reveal the 19 year old's face. Men continued to bid on her until it was up to 100 gold peices.
Merlia looked down afraid of who would buy her. The young 19 year old was a princess but nothing else was known about her. Not even she knew that she was a decedent of the people from the misterious island that people had started to search for.

"Well, Lucky Jack hasn't let me down yet. An' I don't think he plans on doin' so any time soon." Minara gave her lucky pistol a kiss for good luck before taking a stance and steadying her aim before the air filled with the sound of gunshots. Target after target fell, hurriedly moving to reload whenever she ran out of ammo before continuing on her streak. She was tempted to hit her final target multiple times, just for shits and giggles and to show off, but didn't for fear it would hurt her chances of joining the crew somehow.

He watched quietly as she began, despite her being good with a gun she was a little sloppy in a few areas. Nothing that some simple on field job training wouldn't fix. Once she finished he placed a hand upon her shoulder. "Good job, to be honest I was going to let you on without a test, but now I know just where to help you." he said with a friendly smile then gave her a firm handshake.
"Welcome aboard the Nighthawk! I hope you're prepared for a wild ride! You're very good, I'm really impressed. Yet you need to relax a little more while you're shooting lucky pistol or not." he said with a nod.
"Sorry about that..you're fine the way you are. I think you'll fit in just fine." he laughed giving her a noogie.

"Gah, wouldja knock it off?!" Minara struggled to get out of Ratchet's grasp. "I'm not a little girl ye know!" she said swatting his noogie hand away. "And me shootin's fine! Me ol' man taught me 'imself and 'is teachin's 'aven't let me down yet!"

(le sigh not sure where everyone is so I am guessing Merlia is going to have to wait. This was what I was afraid of when I posted earlier oh well bidding will continue to go higher.)
Merlia was still standing on the stage looking down. The bid was now at 1000 gold peices. A lot of men wanted her and she had a feeling it was for the reason she was up there for. The 19 year old looked up at the crowd of men hoping that someone could take her away from this place and treat her better than she had been for a few years.

(Most people are on the dock. How about if the auction was on or near the docks itself?)
He laughed letting her go. Giving the gunner a shrug Ratchet led her out of the room. "Well he was good with a gun. I can tell that by how the way you hold yourself and your pistols. Heh, sometimes on the ocean they're your only friends.." he said looking out at the waves lost in thought for a moment.
Letting out a sigh he looked at Minara and gave her a friendly smile. "I'm Ratchet Biggons by the way. I don't think we ever properly introduced ourselves!"
The sounds of an auction could be heard from the ship despite all of the yelling Mizzen was doing. Peering over the side he frowned a bit watching as a young teen was being bidden off to a buch of sloppy men. Slave she probably was, yet she didn't look to be the common roughed up, and messy, slave they usually had looked.
He didn't normally like doing this but why not? Looking back at the gunner he gave a wink. "Follow me, if you'd like. Most people are busy loadin' up. " he said leaping off of the ship yet again and landing upon the street.
Strolling over to where the auction was he watched quietly as the price was just about to hit the thousand mark. Pulling out some of the money he had he quickly fired a shot into the air with his unloaded cannon. The boom quieted the men and a few of them just stared at him as he stood there a look of annoyance on his face holding his cannon.
Walking up to the stage he plopped two large coins at the auctioneers feet. "'ere's 2000 gold. Anyone wanna outbid me go right ahead." he said with a serious and stern, yet very relaxed tone. A lot of the men backed off. Ratchet hated slave actions, because being an orphan himself it had happened to him once.

Merlia looked down at the man that was bidding 2000 gold. "Uh sold to the man with the cannon for 2000 gold." The 19 year old began to tremble a little bit she was not sure what going to be done to her now that she had been bought. She was handed somethings that belonged to her and was taken off the stage and brought to the man that had bought her.
