Nat smiled down at Dog then closed and locked the door. "Come on lets head back to the rock. One bottle of rum isn't going to last me nor my crew." He turned up the bottle as he walked back.

UnseemlyExistanceInLOVE Nat smiled down at Dog then closed and locked the door. "Come on lets head back to the rock. One bottle of rum isn't going to last me nor my crew." He turned up the bottle as he walked back.
Dog barked once then ran after Nat excitedly.

Nat with rum in hand and Dog at his side traveled back into the bar ordering up several cases of rum to fill his ship with for a long while. " Dog do you think 30 cases is plenty?"

Nini entered the bar at Tortouga and glanced around. There was a booth empty in one of the corners of the spacious, noisy room, and she made her way over. She sat down and put her head in her hands.
Sighing, she tried to relax a little after what had just happened. She had run away from her abusive, drunk father, only to come here where drinking was the worst. She knew that he would come after her, so she had to find a way out. Where better to come than Tortuga, where ship's captains were always recruiting new shiphands. She could do it. And anything would be better than what she had just run away from.
She found herself glancing at the door occaisonally, always waiting for her father to come in and drag her back to the hell she lived in. I have to get out.
She looked around at all the people, drinking, having a good time. Maybe she didn't have to leave on a ship. Maybe she could just move into her own place. There were lots of places around Tortouga that were low rent. They weren't very nice places, dirty, unkept, but anything was better than her father.
But she didn't have any money. None at all, not even enough for a place with low rent. She needed some money, and she was going to need it fast, as her father probably had a pretty good idea where she was.
Glancing around one more time, she wondered how she was going to earn some fast cash around here.
((This is my first time here, so if I got something wrong, please let me know and I'll change it. biggrin ))

Kibo walks in, looking around for any new faces. Sure enough, he notices a woman sitting at a table, her head in her hands. He walks up, a comforting grin on his face, and sits down across from her, pulling out a bottle of fine rum.
Kibo: You look thirsty. Have a drink. It's delicious.

Nini looked up as someone sat down. He passed her a bottle of rum, and offered her some.
"Sure," she said, looking around for a glass. Not seeing one, she took the bottle of rum and drank right from it. "Thank-you. It burns," she made a face. "Do you drink this all the time?"

Kibo smiles.
Kibo: Yep. If you think this is bad, don't get anything from the bar. This is high-end compared to the stuff they serve here. So, what's your business in Tortuga? Might you be looking for some work?

Nini wrinkled her nose and glanced at the bar, where many rough looking people sat drinking stuff she couldn't imagine ingesting.
She quickly looked back to the man sitting in front of her when he mentioned work. She leaned forward. "Yes, I could use some work desperately. I'll do anything, just as long as there's pay."

Kibo: There's more than pay. You'll get free room, board, and pay. Plus adventure. So much adventure.

Nini sat back in her chair.
"What exactly would this job be?" she asked cautiously. She wasn't about to commit to something when she didn't know exactly what it was. But then again, she did want to get away...

Kibo sees something in Nini's eyes, and he takes a second to place it. He soon realizes the emotion. Fear.
Kibo: And it's one of the safest place there is. Top notch security.

"Really?" This job was sounding better and better!
"But you still haven't told me what this job is...what would I be doing?" She needed to know what she would be doing. But by this point, she was practically willing to sell herself if it meant an escape.

Kibo: Simple. I want you to serve on my crew. You seem strong and intelligent enough. And willing. I can see that in your eyes. As soon as I mentioned security, you practically jumped.

Nini flushed when he said that she had jumped. Damnit, he noticed.
"On your crew," she thought for a second. That doesn't sound too terrible. I can work, I know I can work.
"Alright," she smiled. "I'll do it."

Storm shuffeled tiredly into the bar. She looked around and spotted Kibo and made her way over to his table and companion. Storm stoped a few feet off from them and bowed, smiling.
"Mind if I join you and your friend, Commadore?"
