Bo was getting redy to haul this drunken sot off the boat and into the warf, when the lady interupted her. Of corse she stopped to listen to what she said before continueing with what she was doing.

"If the lot of you have an interest in serving on this here ship, you'd best stop acting like the tavern brawlers I be thinking you are."

"Don't put me in the same group with him."

"Seeing as you both have the virtue of being among the first to arrive, I be offering you the choice of positions. Do them well and you might even keep them."

Bo folded her arms across her chest, a way of almost saying 'I'll hold my position no problem' and the way she seemed to look at Jack made it look like she might add 'Although I'm not too sure 'bout him'

"Jack here thinks he be the one to Captain this ship. Bo, what say you to that?"

"If he says he is a captain without a ship, I would like to know what happened to the last ship... I wouldn' trust him with another."

She said flat out. Bo had yet to see why he should be made captain, especaly if his faveorate state of mind was half drunk.


Jack looked at the man "Now listen, if i'm a captain without a ship? How came you to be a crew man without a captian mate? An lets juts say that my ship was procured from underneath me, but if you must know the story i'll tell you, We where on high water, near the end of our voyage when my first mate came to me and said' Captain, the others are in agreence with me, everything should be in fair share, including the location of the treasure.' So being the good man that i am i told them, later that night there was a mutiny, and they left me on the first island they saw with nothing, but my name and a pistol with a single shot." he looked at the woman "And quite frankly love, i would like my ship back, all i ask is that i board your ship, under the understanding that it is your ship, that i be made captain, and that we go to Port Royal, after that you can be rid of me, savvy?"

((please stop quoteing my posts, I know you are talking to me when you post))

Bo rolled her eyes at the man's story, she didn't give a rats a** that this guy had been thrown off his own ship for his own folly. Served him right for being half drunk half the time. And what he was really asking for was a ride, why should he be captain when all he really needed to be was passenger.

"Then what you are looking for, is a ride. Not a ship to captain.... Savvy?"

She told him as if she knew it all. Bo purpusfuly added 'Savvy' just to throw his own words back in his face. He deserved to be thrown over board, and was lucky Bo was just telling him off.

he looked at the man again, smiling a bit and slightly laughing to himself."Listen mate, without a experienced captain, say..." he pointed to himself"me, you won't make it half way to anywhere with the pirates in these waters. And, you might want to listen close to this one, you will not for a fact, make it if my ship is in these waters." he stepped up to the man "And that my friend is why you need me as captain." he stepped back and looked up at the sky as a cloud passed by, then he looked back at the man. "Besides, you don't look like a well fit choice for captain, and i see no one else around that isn't drunk, so what do you say mate? Could you stand a little trip with me, or would you rather be dead before you reached port?"

"Listen mate, without an experenced captain, say... Me, you won't make it half way to anywhere with the pirates in these watters. And, you might want to listen close to this one, you will not, for a fact, make it if my ship is in these watters."

the man took a moment to daydream in his own made-up glory before continueing. Ha! what a joke! He couldn't even keep a crew from commiting mutany, and now he was makeing threats to kill her?! How pathetic could you get!?

"And that my friend is why you need me as captain, and i see no one else around that sin't drunk, so what say you mate? Could you stand a little trip with me, or would you rather be dead before you reached port?"

Bo dropped her arms from her chest and let them fall to her side, her right hand falling convienently on hilt of her sward. She looked the drunkard stright in the eye, a direct threat to him.

"I don't you think will ever captain a ship in these waters with that mouth... And I don't think anyone ever mentioned anything about me being captain... but now that you mention it I think I could be a better captain then you could ever dream of being.

Bo didn't stop her rant to let the stupid Jack continue on with his drunken rambleings of his own immagined glory. This guy was going to get what was comeing to him a lot quicker then he might think.

"besides... I beleve our lovely hostess isn't drunk now is she? Not to mention it is her ship, why shouldn't she be captain?.... then you can claim a positon more fitted to your.... experence.... Might I sugest cabbin boy?"

Bo told him rather then suggested. Takeing a good stab at his moral pride, assumeing he had any left after he had his ship taken away by his own men. What an Idiot.

jack closed his eyes and smiled "Well since you don't be needing my type of captaining i'll just be on my way then." with that he turned on his heel and started walking back down the dock, he turned before he was out of ear shot"If ye make it to Port Royal or wherever in these waters ye be going write me a letter, but if you don't i'll know that the Pearl sent you to the briney deep." he turned again and walked to the end of the dock, where he stopped and looked around before he made his choice on where to go. "Hmm..now where is Anna Maria."

"I didn't know there was a postal servace that was brave enough to deliver to hell!"

Bo shouted back to him as a parting retort. It was implied that he was going to die before she would and that she couldn't send a letter to meet him in hell, although she doubted that in his drunkard state he would get the remark's full blow for several days.

With that last blow to Jack's pride Bo was satisfied for the time being and turned back to the hostess with a somewhat ashamed smile.

"Sorry 'bout that, he had it comeing to him with the way he was runnin' his mouth and all... Well... as you must've heard I think you autta' be captain, and maby I could hope for a position as first mate?..... Savvy?"

Bo said, adding the 'Savvy?' for a more commical effect then an insulting one this time.

Only somewhat dismayed to see Jack walk off she shrugged and turned back to Bo. Her mind was still on Jack to some extent. Brash boastful and far too full of himself. And drunk, that had to be kept in mind.

"First mate is your's if you'll have it, but captain I will not be. Laughing stock of the ocean we would be, and dead too soon like as not. 'Tisn't worth the trouble it would cause."

Bo hadn't thaught about that. After all she was a girl herself and had captained a ship before, mind you that was ages ago wile she was still working for the Royal Navy and everyone thaught she was a guy.... Well now what?

"I could pull captain dutys untill we find someone more suited to the post... although I don't know if you could find a half-decent captain here."

She offered up. Bo didn't particularly want the post of captain at the moment. If she was caught for a girl and a captain of the ship word would get out, and the Navy would be all over her! And that wouldn't do anyone any good unless they had the best crew this side of the spanish main, and they certanly wouldn't find it here.

"So... what other positions need filling?"

She asked, prepared to help her now that she was first mate and acting Captain.

Gwylen grinned at Bo's agreement to join the crew. It was a start and with a guy to ask around for crew, she figured they'd have more luck. As for his question she didn't even need to give it any thought. "Other than you an me? I can look after the sails as well as any, and do a bit of navigation. Other than that we be needin' nearly every man that a ship requires."

Casting her mind back to the dozen men she'd gotten to even bring the ship here, she quickly ruled them out as unacceptable, even compared with what slim pickings there were. "We may be going after them like jack yet......."

"I can tell you right now I will send men like him to check if the rudder is working."

She said, a way of telling the lady that she wasn't to happy with this 'Jack' fellow in the least bit. Bo would be dead before seeing a man like him be a resideing captain over a ship she was deckhand to.

"Well then.... that leaves the general deckhand if we are to go with the bare bones... and maby someone to work in the Mess hall... I can't cook to save my life and I would rather not kill members of my own crew unintentionaly."

She said as she began her walk off the boat in the hunt for a half-decent crew. Concidering where they where Bo was just looking for someone who could tell "bow" from "stern" and "port" from "starbord" and take orders. Hopefuly she could find at least 4 people who fit even those loose requirements.

Gwylen nodded, and watched as Bo left the ship. She was somewhat unsure about him, as he'd taken her ownership of Fate in stride without a blink, and apparently took no interest in her person. In the end she decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. Better than trying another round of the whores, for if Giselle was an example of the run of them, they'd get her nowhere.

Heading toward the main cabin at the back, she idly ran her fingers through her hair. Perhaps a chage in tactics was what would be needed.

Jack walked down the half paved road, looking about for decent sailors, and the lot. If this didn't work he would have to "get" a ship of his own, but he reasoned that the to back at the Fate weren't having all that great of luck finding crew men, if they where they probably would have taken him on without question, atleast as a substitute if someone was injured. He laughed out loud"Neither one of them could sail that ship, let alone navigate. And she was a lovely ship, navy must have been perturbed when they lost her." he continued on his walk stopping every now and then and asking men if they wanted to sail.

Final Goodbye

seeing the drunk leave maximus got up and followed him at a good distance. well he thought he might have some odd items on him. he saw the drunk asking around for people who wanted to sail "he's not going to get any one that way"
PostPosted: Wed Jul 26, 2006 7:06 am


Bo was just getting away from the docks in surch of a crew. She didn't ask anyone who looked older then 30 or as if they hadn't worked a day in their life anything. Everyone else she would ask about sailing and if they knew what a "bow" was.

As she got a bit further along from the docks, she saw the drunkard Jack being persued by a little theif. Bo thaught this to be the funniest thing in the world and decided to let Jack know before he got robbed blind, wile he was claiming to be a pirate captain to boot! This was something you don't see everyday!

"Oi! Jack! You got yourself a theif after yer' purse! Tell him 'thanks for robbin the worst pirate ever' from me mate!"

she shouted to him, although Bo made sure that he might only hear her if he cared enough to truely pay attention; but because the thief was closer he would definately hear her. With that, Bo laughed out loud and was on her way.

As soon as the boat was dislodged of the men, Bahari jumped off the boat and began to walk over to her owner. Seeing the cat's gleeful stride, Stara stood up from her "chair" and made way over to the ship. As one of the men passed her, she merely flinched her gaze. No time for distractions now.... She thought, once she'd finally catch up with the cat. As they reached the boarding plank, Bahari positioned on her shoulders, she slowly went up to the deck. Before she stepped on it though, she peaked her head beside the rim of the ship.

There she saw her. Unfortunetly she was already heading inside. Stara then reached into her pocket, removed the piece of parchment, and held it open. Reading over the name a couple of times, she cleared her throat and called out. "Gwylen Lloyd?!" By now, she was standing completely on deck, hoping the noise she'd made with her boots to further help catch the woman's attention.
