Rachel and Gabriel were a bit behind Katherine, they both ran a bit faster to catch up to the oddly energetic captain.
"When did the captain get so energetic..." Rachel mumbles to herself, wondering how the thought of finding a small monkey, which Gabriel seems to want to keep as a pet, would make the captain seem about Gabriel's age.
Gabriel listens to Rachel's mumbling, "I am kinda wondering that too..." Gabriel looks around while they run after the captain. As they run deeper into the jungle, he hears various sounds, some sounding almost like people...

Katherine's mind became more fixed as she raced through the jungle, she hadn't seen a monkey in many years, and those memories were regarded with such fondness that she simply couldn't give up the chance to see one again.
She was so caught up in these thoughts that it took her a moment to stop running and realize the undergrowth had thinned some time ago. The captain stood in stunned silence, gazing up at the interweaving branches above her and the astonishing source of the riotous noise she'd been hearing for some time.

 Event!Your fearless leader has stumbled upon a colony of monkeys! They seem friendly and don't bite (much), so you should go ahead and play with them. You have 48 HOURS to interact with the monkeys from the time of this post, after which three very lucky pirates who have shown exceptional rp in this event will get to take home a monkey as their pet! The pet monkey will be edited onto your cert, remaining your pirate's companion throughout their lives. ONLY pirates currently on the island or close enough to swim can participate in this event. For more information on the kind of monkeys you have found, look here. These are not exactly the same species but close. Until then, have fun!

(( I Dub this event as "Monkey Madness" biggrin )) Rachel and Gabriel both look stunned at the ammount of monkeys in this small area. Gabriel walks forward, and sees a black ribbon tied to a waving tail, "So there you are my cheeky friend," Gabriel smiles and walks over the the mass of monkeys, picking up the one with the ribbon on it's tail.Rachel slowly follows Gabriel, and pets one of the near-by monkeys, she thinks to herself 'some of these might make some nice food...' She licks her lips, but trys not to let anyone see.

Katherine hesitated. Now that she was here, surrounded by animals as memory evoking as pages of a diary, she wasn't quite sure what to do.
She watched the young french boy run off to play with one and suddenly her throat felt oddly thick. Must be the tropical air, she thought, clogging her lungs despite having lived in the islands for most of her adult life.
She was just turning away when she felt a sudden pressure on her head. Looking up carefully, she found a tiny simian face looking back down at her. Moving very slowly, she reached into her pouch and brought out a berry from earlier. She lifted her hand and offered it to the monkey on her head.
After a quick sniff, it devoured the pink berry in seconds, looking down expectantly at her when it had finished.

Gabriel pulls a tiny berry from a near-by berry bush, and feeds it to the cheeky little monkey. The monkey eats the berry and hops onto Gabriel's head.
Gabriel smiles and walks over to the captain, and stands beside her. "It's amazing, when I met this monkey a while ago, I never imagined there would be this many monkeys deeper in the island..." He pauses as the monkey moves on his head then falls asleep.

Rachel looks the little monkey she was petting, it's eyes looking so much like her own, "These little critters are too cute to eat..." Rachel would have never said that on her home island, but somehow seeing the monkey before it would have been butchered and roasted made her re-think eating them.
"Adata Nikaru..." she mumbles to herself, the language being from her home, she smiles and continues to pet the monkey as she looks up to see some patches of blue sky through the many tropical trees.

The captain turned her one good eye on the boy as she fed the monkey a steady supply of berries.
"They don't usually live in colonies this big. Probably a good breeding area for them, with so few natural predators. Speaking of which..." Katherine trailed off as she watched Rachel carefully. She'd seen the islander devour several monkey kebabs at the Trinidad bazaar in the past, and did not fully trust her intentions towards the chattering primates.
The monkey had jumped off her head now that the pouch was empty, and the Captain, feeling uncomfortable at revealing her useless knowledge of monkey behaviour to the boy, stalked off to a more secluded area.

Gabriel chuckles at the captain's uncomfortable look, then looks at Rachel. She wouldn't eat one of these cuddly things... Would she?

Stepping off the small rowboat, John waved dismissivly at the men who'd rowed him ashore. Normally he'd have shown more respect but today he was agitated and decidedly grouchy. Havign finally decided that staying aboard the Dementia might drive him to dementia he'd made his way to the island hoping to relax and yet still find something interesting.
Unable to see or hear the distinct sound of any of his shipmates John headed in the direction where he could make out sounds even if he wasn't sure exactly what they were.

((Just let me know if I wasn't supposed to rp the monkey! I hope this post is alright!))
Nicolas didn't turn his head back towards Jamie to aknowledge the fact that he had heard her, but it was clear by the uncomfortable twitching of his long, elfen ears. They could be incredibly expressive at times and as they grew somewhat pink, he continued on, directly after the captain, "I care of nothing related to the woman, but by the expression on her face, there must be something more than just monkeys out there!" Nicolas continued on after their Captain, hand lowering to reach the hilt of his own blade, "I don't feel our captain is one to share riches with us so willingly..." Now the elf's expression had become one of determination as he quickly followed after.
Hearing a strange voice from behind him, Nicolas turned his head to see a blonde...man? With a cocked brow, the male spoke firmly, "Yes. The captain has found something.." And not giving this stranger a moments time to respond, Nicolas was off again, slashing through the thick jungle plants and wiping the fresh sweat from his brow. It was not strenuous on the male, but the warmth was beginning to grow warmer the deeper they entered.
When his slashes became less frequent, the male noticed that instead of short, large leafed plants, there were now clusters of tall trees that seemed to be the homes for groups of... Nicolas felt a sudden weariness grow over his body! His hopes of the captain's treasure-hunger had been for nothing and when he spotted many of his crew mates happily playing with the small monkeys, he couldn't help but sit quietly onto a large rock, glaring at the complete idiots. What use would a monkey do to a pirate!?
When Nicolas had turned his head to sulk, a small, young monkey began in his direction. It's small beady eyes were wide with interest, almost as if there was something on the male that interested it. Unlike most of the others, this small primate was a young male, probably one of the few considering the group was mostly females, run by the dominant male. There were other males on the island, but many seemed to keep away from this new group for fear that they could have been predators. This young male, however, had just leapt from the safety of his mother's arms to inspect the blade that hung so loosely from the man's hand. "chiku chiku.." It chirped to itself as it's tiny hands clutched the blade. When the metal pierced his small hands, it seemed to scream!
Wide blue eyes turned to catch the tiny creature naively pressing it's hand against the sharp blade of Nicolas' sabor. Nearly smacking the pesky monkey away, Nicolas felt a small compassion grow for the creature's adoration of his weapon. When he had noticed the blood on it's hands, it reminded him somewhat of Jamie and what he had done for the woman. Could he offer this same kindness to the small monkey? It took him a moment to coax the creature close into the grab ahold of it, but with another tear of his pant leg, he did manage to wrap the small wound. It had been much smaller than what he had expected.

Arrin raised her eyebrow as the...elf...spoke to her, then turned away from her without a word. "Huh" she muttered. "People around here sure are friendly." Since there didn't seem to be much else to do, she headed in the direction the elf-man had taken. Almost as soon as she moved deeper into the jungle she stood stock still, staring about her. "Whoah..." she breathed. There were monkeys everywhere. Some kind of...hidden oasis for primates she thought to herself. She almost felt bad intruding on this miniature paradise, but the monkeys didn't give her time to leave; they certainly had no objection to her presence. One of them landed lightly on her head and settled onto her shoulders, chittering softly. "Wha-? Oh. Hello there little one. You're quite a friendly one, aren't ye?" The monkey looked into her eyes with a pair of large brown ones. She was so intent on it's little face that it took her a moment to realize that something was tugging at her hair. After a moment, she realized the monkey was running its fingers through her unruly hair. "Probably looking for bugs" she said, grinning. "I know it's tangled enough to need a good combing, anyway, so thank you kindly for obliging." Without realizing it, she reached out a hand to stroke the monkey's fur.

Rachel smiles at the monkey and stops petting it. She then walks past Gabriel, "Dont worry, I'm not hungry." She then walks through a few bushes and looks at the Island's flowers.
This Island reminds me so much of my home... She looks down at the golden rig on her finger, remembering that she promised a dear friend she would return some day. "Maybe some day soon... Kahrim..." she trails off, remembering her days on her home island.

After bandaging up the small monkey, something caught the male's eye for a moment. A beautiful tanned pirate woman with golden locks of hair seemed to be walking away from the group and from the monkeys. With a quick smirk, the male lifted his form from the rock and began in Rachel's direction. It would be his first meeting with the woman, and though he had not seen her on the ship before, he was certain he knew who she was. Master at arms, he thought he had heard before. Thinking back, he realised it was another crew mate that had eagerly told him of the beauty on the ship. Nicolas hadn't paid complete attention to the man at the time, but he was glad now that he had heard some of it.
Only about a foot away from the woman now, Nicolas smirked and spoke in his usual suave tone, "Greetings m'lady.." And seeing that she was admiring the beautiful flowers, he speaks again, "You're fond of the flowers, I see?"
From behind Nicolas came the small male monkey, eyes once again, intent on the blade that hung from Nicolas' belt. Though now it's small paws were bandaged and it had known the feeling of the pain, it still seemed intrigued. As it stared, it reached out, but was sure as to not touch it. Even as naive as the small creature was, it remembered the pain clearly.

Rachel turns her head to see Nicolas near-by, "Hello there," she says, picking one of the white flowers and smiling, "They remind me of the flowers back on my home island." She looks back to the flowers, the golden ring on her finger shining from the small ammounts of light that peak through the trees.
She sighs, still remembering her years back at home, she misses her home, the island life was simple and primitive, but it was peaceful.
