Kibo: Ooo, fancy. Who is this friend, by the way? Have I ever met him... or her?

"Just a few close friends of mine. I'll need a crew if I'm going to help you. Their names are, Maria, Scar and Joseph....the rest can be filled by spirits."
The shadows of 3 people began to aproach the ship walking along the dock.

Kibo: Here.
Kibo touches two fingers to Natasha's throat. A rune marking appears, and sinks into the skin.
Kibo: If you die, that'll let me know. I'll be able to raise you quickly. Trust me, the afterlife is someplace you don't want to be too long if you can help it.

"That's useful."
Natasha smiles. As the three figures board the ship, still in shadow.

Kibo: I know it is. That's why I gave it to you. Just... try not to die, alright?

"I'll try. One moment please, sir."
She turned to the three figures, standing a few metres in front of them.
"Miss Maria D'Angelo, step forward please."
A tall dark haired woman with Italian features stepped forward into the light,
"Long time no see, old friend. I didn't think that you'd still answer to the call."
Maria smiled.
"I am here to join your crew, if that's as you wish. I will follow orders and stay loyal and true in the face of danger and will put my life on the line to help fight whatever foe we face."
Natasha smiled.
"Just as I thought. You shall be my first mate...and I think I'll leave it to my trusted friend, Admiral Kibo Botch, commander of the spirit fleet and owner of my ship to tell you what we face...after I assess the others. Welcome aboard."
She looked at the two men waiting patiently in the shadows.
"Mister Samuel Smith, more commonly known as Scar, please step forward."
A large man, covered in battle scars and heavily armed stepped forward. The light glinting off his various weapons.
"Just as Maria, I am here to join your crew to face whatever enemy we fight, stay loyal to you and, if needed, lay my life on the line for you."
"You will be a great asset to my crew. Welcome aboard."
Natasha turned to the last figure.
"Mister Joseph Roberts, step forward."
The man stepped forward.
"I shall loyally join your crew, Captain. Now can you please tell us what danger we face."
"Welcome aboard..."
She turned to Kibo.
"...will you do the honours, sir, and explain to these fine people what we face?"

Kibo: Well, we're about to engage in battle against a man who has several ships captained and crewed by men who can't really die. They are all in the service of Davy Jones, and heavily armed. All of you will probably die... several times. But not to worry, I won't let you stay in said state. It's all kind of difficult to explain fully. Maybe if there was a demonstration. Now, which one of you would like to volunteer to die right here, right now?
Kibo chuckles, wondering if any of these newcomers were trusting enough.

All three of Natasha's crewmembers stepped forward.
"Take your pick, sir...or use me to show them."
Natasha said, grinning.

Kibo: Alright, you seem pretty easy to kill. Josh, was it? Sorry, Josh.
He unsheathes his blade, and with a single swing, had decapitated the man. Kibo immediately runs his fingers across the stump of a neck, getting a bit of his blood on his fingers, and touches them to the ground. Immediately, Josh's body crumbles to dust, and his spirit appears in front of the Necromancer. Kibo stabs the blade he used to kill him into the ground, and Josh's clear form turns solid and opaque, leaving him just as he was before Kibo had even unsheathed his blade.
Kibo: That, my friends, is called Necromancy. Any questions?

Joseph looked at Kibo in shock, his hands feeling around his neck.
Natasha smiled.
"One, never do that to any member of my crew again, and two, his name is Joseph."

Kibo: Hey, I told him he was going to die, and he stepped forward anyway. It was his choice. Besides, I'm a Necromancer. Killing and raising people is almost as common as shaking hands for us.

"If you're going to kill a member of my crew at least make sure you know their name first!"

Kibo: You should know I'm not good with names. Actually, for about an hour after we met, I thought your name was Natalie.

"If you'd called me Natalie you'd definitely have ended up losing a limb....or several."
