*she got down from the nest and went about the deck. She stopped once she got to most of the crew, so they could listen*
Alright, lads. We're goin' to be on land in a little bit, so let's start securin' the sheets. Topsails and Foresails. Make sure they're nice and tight. Sloppy jobs turn into sloppy sails.
*the harbor was coming into view and she couldn't wait to be on land again. The crew worked and she started getting ready for the massive exodus that was her crew once they hit land. She moved back to the quarterdeck as the ship moved closer to Provoka.*
A'right lads. Prepare to port!
*the crew took over their duties, as they had done so many times before. It was a relief to Ares that they knew without being told, and knew not to wait for her to tell them. The harbor sidled next to them and ropes were thrown from the port side. They were pulled tight as the crew dragged the Lady in. Then the movement stopped. They were finally to Provoka*

*She heard the tail end of Ares' speech about their arrival at Provoka as she barked the orders to take up the sails and clean up the ship as best they could. Jaden breathed a slow sigh of mixed relief and nervousness as she too helped with the taking up the sails and the general tidying up of the Lady as they came into port.
After she had helped with the general duties needed to keep the boat in order for landing, she looked about for the Doctor to ask if there were any duties for him she had to still accomplish. He hadn't been on deck since the evening before when Myere and Ares got into their heated conversation.
She felt a little out of place due to the fact that the last time she had been on land, a rabble had been after her, accusing her of thievery. Well, it was partially correct. She had been stealing. But is it really stealing if you have been asked to steal it back, and if the other item was yours in the first place? Jaden took a deep breath as she leaned over the railing and stared out over the water to the shore. Her eyes landed on Provoka's shore and a slight calm washed over her. Provoka didn't give her the same feeling as Toulon had as she lost her followers in the midst of battle. Being a pirate port, she found herself inadvertently stroking the ruby ring her father had given her long ago and smiled. Her father had been here at least once. And since he had passed on, this would be the closest to him she had been in a while.
The sun crested over the edge of the ocean and began to sprinkle a pink haze over the port as she stood there simply gazing out towards land. They finally arrived at their destination, sans a couple of crew, a bit of shot and powder, and one very important Captain.*

Emerging from down below, Baxter noticed land. Apparently, the ship had made port at Provoka. Remembering some things told to him by the Captain during the Bodicea's pursuit of the Lady, Reginald decided he should try to act as best he could to follow the Captain's wishes.
Sighting Miss Midnight, Reginald tried to grab her attention as she passed. "Excuse me, Miss Midnight, I require your assisstance. The Captain told me some things when I was tending his injuries, and I'm left to do the right thing. I need you to accompany me to the Wardroom, please."
With that, Baxter went below hoping Midnight would follow.

Coming up from below deck, she shielded her eyes against the sun reflecting off the water. She noticed that the deck was empty, and looked out across the bow of the ship and let her eyes wander over a dock. Had they docked? Were they finally here? Gently, she calmed herself. Her stomache was full of butterflies and she found herself unable to breathe. She would be making this journey alone. The captain had left her his estates but she was not sure where these estates were. It might be in the letter he had written her, but she would have to go over it more closely. Turning away from the dock, she went back down to the captain's quarters to find the document. On the way down to the lower decks she encountered the Doctor.
"Of course I will follow, please lead the way."
(Continued in wardroom)

Baxter surfaced on to the main deck once more, holding the note he had penned moments ago.
Baxter had become accustomed to being armed after their raid on Toulon. He now kept pistols and knives on him at all times, albeit discreetly. Producing a small knife from his boot, he tacked the note to the mainmast.Letter to the Crew Attention Crew of the Lady:
For the able bodied hands, you are to be given your fair share of pay and set at liberty to wander Provoka at your liesure. It is requested you do your best to recruit new hands to the Lady in order to make future excursions easier and more fulfilling. You should recieve around £25,000 sterling as compensation for your time aboard, I only regret that you have not much to spend it on here at Provoka, please try to save some for something other than spirits.
For the Officers, we are to take up station and residence at Captain Kurisutofa's cottage on Flint's Bluff. We are to seek the aid of the Council of Provoka to learn how to properly man, crew, and sail a ship.
It is recommended that those with special skills function in the town at their specialties to aid the town and ourselves.
For Miss Destiny it is recommended that you seek out the Spyglass Tavern & Inn to become Inns Keeper and Cook.
As for myself, I will be resuming Doctor Morgan's practise ashore as well as tending to my duty as an officer of the Lady amd learning to properly sail. I'll also be trying to press gang fresh hands.
With that being done, Baxter headed ashore, he had much to tend to.

(continued from Wardroom)
Returning from the Wardroom carrying many purses in her arms and attatched to her belt, she looked about for crew. unfortunatly the deck looked abadoned. Sighing, she decided that she would have to go into town and find each crew member to deliver their gold. Tying her own tighter to her belt, she shifted the others in her arms and set off down the gag plank.
(continued in Provokia)

*Continued from the galley* (Damn it's been a while since I posted here)
*Aeoess saw that they finally reached Provokia and decided to go find the captain just to see if there was any thing that still needed to be done.*
"Captain, is there anything that needs to be done before we leave the ship?"

Pacing the empty corridors between the aft cabin, empty cabins and the galley, Kurisutofa makes his way forward to the ladder up to the main deck.
Running his hands across every single grain of wood, he steps up the ladder and ascends into the heavy air.
As he stepped across the mid-channels and worked his way up to the quarterdeck, Jack beamed at the prestigious condition of his ship. Locking the doors to the companion house with one of the keys that hung about his neck, he walked to the braces and scurried down the mainchains onto the dock.
"Never before have we drifted on stranger tides."
