She looked up at her with wide eyes. "Me? Implying something, never." She said, looking down at the ropes with a grin on her lips.

She just rolls her eyes. Glancing around she notices something missing, "Where'd the cats go?"

Mana chuckled softly at Tori's insinuation that there be onboard romances, but that posed its own problems when relationships went sour. When Amie asked where the cats were, Mana looked around.
"My Darling likes to play tag with Scrap. Though he never chases her, its always the other way around."

"Oh, Ok." she says, dismissing the animals from her thoughts, "So? What's you name? We haven't been properly introduced. I'm Amie." She gives Mana a small curtsy. "I've just joined on this ship recently and have been unsure of the crew, so I'd been hiding in my cabin."

Mana bowed rathr gentlemanly like. His long blonde hair fell over his shoulder, and damn it was long, down to his waist. His golden yellow eyes looked to hers. His skull necklace danced in the bit of light that shone through the fog, it was covered in a sheen of water. Even the braid on his head seemed wet from the fog.
"I am Manakel Masozi from the islands of Hati. I've been here about 6 months when the captain picked me up at a port on my home island."
Oh yeah, he looked sooooo Hatian with his blonde hair and fair skin. But he did have a minor accent which suggested he had lived on the island for a good bit of time.

Amie runs her fingers through the hair dangling over his shoulders. "Nice to meet you Manakel," she said with a smile. "You have beautiful hair. I wish my hair would grow faster..."

Mana let her touch his hair, at least she wasn't touching his wings. He hated that.
"I have been growing my hair since I arrived on the island. Ramla said I shouldn't cut it since it was so beautiful. She would always say Oshun granted me this beauty and I should never destroy it."
At the mention of her name, he wondered how his foster mother was fairing without him. Though the whole community would take care of each other, he still felt responsible for her. He hoped to get some money while out here and give it to her to help pay for things.

She clasps her hands in front of her, "Well, it is very beautiful. It'd be a shame for you to lose it." Looking around Amie sees people working all about the ship, then turns back to Mana, "Who's Oshun?"

"Oshun is the goddess of love and beauty. She blesses all who give thanks to her and remember her at ceremony."
His belief in voodou was strong, for he hated the 'white god' that had cursed him so. He found much comfort in the accepting views of voodou. Perhaps he could convert this one. She might find comfort in it too.

"Ohh, interesting." Looking behind her, Amie finds a place for her to sit. "Tell me more about yourself Manakel, I'm fascinated."

Mana seemed to falter at this. He didn't like talking about his past. It was all too painful and he despised being pietied for his existance.
"What you see is what I am. A man from Hati, a follower of voodou, and cursed like the rest of us."

"Ok... that question's not going anywhere. Here's one. Why did you become a pirate?" She asked, fully ready to tell her own story were she asked.

"I felt I had no other recourse. There were not many jobs on the island I was useful for, except defence. So when I defeated a gang of rogue pirates that attacked the island, I learned of this ship. If it was truly accepting of cursed individuals, I figured I could share a bond with the other crew members. As we all share a similar afliction. And you?"
Mana wasn't use to asking people about their history. His friendship with William seemed to hinge on the fact that neither of them were nosey into the other's business. So long as each did their fair share of work and didn't act like a bilgerat, all was well in their friendship.

Even though she was ready for it, the memories of her childhood brought a shiver down upon Amie, "Well, I had this woman who looked after me when I was really small. Our town got raided by a pirate ship. she was accosted, then murdered. I caught a glimpse of the man who did it. I figured that when I was old enough, I would join a pirate ship, since the best way to find a pirate, is to engage in piracy yourself. This is the only ship that would take me. They warned me of the curse it bore, but I didn't care."

 Ship Sighted!A ship has been sighted behind you, coming up fast with her pirate flags flying high. She shows no sign of stopping, and you must either flee or turn to fight. What does your captain decide to do?
