Jack_Hawkins The bird Icthus lighted on Kibo's shoulder, holding a scrawled note in it's beak, the letter bearing the very distinctive handwriting of Captain Jack Hawkins. G'day mate. Most surprised if this wee beast finds itself at your ship again. Seems unlikely in all honesty, but I've set sail and I'm going to get my crew a settled into ocean life. Send word when the trap is to be sprung and I'll be there. I've assembled an interesting crew. One of whom is a one eared three toed indian. Well, good luck in your side journey and so on and so forth.
- HawkinsKibo smiles, reading the note with one hand, steering the ship with the other. Clouds had long since covered the sun, so Kibo had had to use his compass to navigate. Kibo: Oy! The storm is almost upon us! Prepare yourselves!

Mary could be seen swabbing the deck with one of the elves she had summoned using the silver dust.
Ah, Rilian the strangest things are happening to me. I keep getting these strange visions and I'm not sure of whether they're events to come or in the past.
The elf does not reply. Mary resumes scrubbing. She heaves a sigh.
I guess I should forget it I suppose. And I do deserve more than to scrub this filth. Why is it me to has to swab the deck??

kibo_botch Kibo: I need ye to handle the crew members. Even though they're spirits, they're still just human. Make sure they're all doing their jobs. I'm going to be too busy steering throught the storm to look after everyone.
*Gave him a small smile.*
"Gladly captain. Do we have a ship's wizard or Mage?"
*Turned to the main deck and started barking out orders.*
"Lash down evething that can't be brought below and stored there! Tighten the sails and prepare to lower them at a moments notice! This is going to be an intressting sail, lads! Heave to you flea ridden dogs!"
*Waved my way down and helped bring things below decks and tie the down there.*

Kibo grins, and crosses his blades yet again, summoning two spirits, each of whom were carrying heavy-looking books.
Kibo: These might be of assistance to you. Begin to train, for your true test will come soon. In the meantime, Mary! Come here! I need ye to take over for Storm here. Make sure all the spirits are in line, and doing their rightful jobs. I'm going out ahead to scout out this storm.
Kibo runs belowdeck, and returns with two scabbards, one white, one black. He ties them to his back, and picks up his swords, putting the white one into the black sheath, and the black one into the white sheath. Imediately, a bright light begins to shine, and the blades turn into large, translucent wings.
Kibo: Moral Pot! Come with me to scout ahead! You're obviously the best swimmer here, what with being part Krakken, and all.

(got it)
Kibo flies off behind Moral, into the storm. His ears roar as the wind block out all sound, and his vision blurs in the rain.

Aye aye Cap'n! I'd gladly take over for Storm. (Not really but it's better than cleaning this filth.)
Mary rushes over. But then she slips and hits her head on the mast. She falls onto the floor unconscious.

Kibo notices nothing through the rain as he flies farther into the raging storm. Within two minutes, the rain and wind had made his senses useless. And without some protection against the cold, he couldn't go in the water without dying within a few minutes.
Kibo: Ugh...
Kibo flies high into the air, into the center of the clouds, and unsheathes his swords, making the wings disappear. As he falls through the air, he quickly swings the blades in an intricate pattern, making a large bubble appear, falling at the same rate Kibo was.
Kibo: Careful...
Kibo carefully grabs the bubble, with both hands, and shoves his head inside. Instantly, the wind calms around him, and the rain stops blurring his vision.
Kibo: Okay, whew.
Kibo quickly grabs his blades again, puts them into the opposite sheathes, and makes the wings reappear. He hovers, and looks down, almost touching his face to the water.
Kibo: Well, that was close.
Kibo continues to fly forward, unaware of what was happening on the ship.

Mary rushes over. But then she slips and hits her head on the mast. She falls onto the floor unconscious.
*Came up from below and sighed seeing Mary knocked uncounseise. Ordered a pair of sailors to drag her below so she wouldn't be washed over boared if she hasn't woken up by the time the storm hit. Moved back up to the raised forcastle and oversaw the preperations to launch.*

Kibo looks around, quickly spotting the faint outline of Moral below the surface. Feeling more at ease, he begins to look around, surveying the intensity of the storm. He notices a small hole beginning to form in the clouds ahead of him, and looks up, now realizing the clouds are slowly spinning.
Kibo: Aw crap...
Kibo flies down to within inches above the water's surface, knowing Moral could still see him, and motions for his to return to the ship.
Kibo: Come on!
With that, Kibo turned around, flying at full speed back towards the ship.

As Mad Mary Rackham lies on a bunk below deck, she remains unconscious despite the dreadful rocking of the ship. After a while she begins to twitch and groan.
No. No....Mary......my...

Kibo: Great idea, Moral. The ship's sinking is what I was most worrying about. I'll send a few spirits down to help you.
Kibo lands on the deck, and unsheathes the swords.
Barret: Kibo! One of the human crew has fallen, and is now belowdecks, unconscious. I believe her name is Mary.
Kibo: Really? That's not good.
Kibo puts the blades in his side steathes, and heads belowdecks, to see how his crew was doing.

*Held onto the rail on the forecastle to keep my balance on the widly rocking ship.*
"Captain! If we're going to go, now's the time! We'll skim the edge of the storm if we leave now. Other wise we'll be stuck right in the middle of the Hurrican."
