Welcome to Gaia! ::

The water in the glass shudders, and floats out of the glass. Kibo walks back over to her, two fingers touching the opposite arm.

Kibo: Well, I guess I'd better start off from the beginning. I was sold into slavery by my b*****d of a father.

At the mention of his father, the water falls, half into the glass, and half onto the table.

Kibo: But I guess I should give him some thanks. The man he sold me to was quite kind, and taught me many things. He is no longer with us... sort of. He was killed in a raid a few years ago, so I came to Tortuga to pick up the pieces. I... acquired a moderate sum of gold, and bought my first ship, the Godspeed. It was then that I first began to build my reputation as "The Demonic Kibo Botch." I eventually acquired another ship, the Lightning, from my deceased friend Sir Tiny. From there on, I had the title of Commodore Kibo Botch. I gained a few more ships, and crewmen, and eventually took a little side trip to England, and found out the King was not above bribery. I cost me a pretty pence, but I gained the title of Admiral. That's pretty much all I have to say, in a nutshell. Well, not the most important thing, but that's not something I'm ready to tel you yet.

Kibo shifts his eyes, thinking for a moment.

Kibo: Is this "mother" still alive?

He crosses his fingers, hoping she'd say no. It would make things so much more interesting.

"so," araina said, wiping her eyes from the tears, "now that we are more aquainted, i feel that you should tell me more about this "Spirit Fleet" of yours... how many ships are there? can i keep my ship and crew? what are we fighting, if anything, and what is the purpose?" her eyes flicker a little, as she waits for his answer...

Araina noticed that the girl that Kibo was originally talking to was watching them, with a grin on her face. she thought abput it, and then, her bottle of rum spilled down her front. bullseye, she thought, trying to keep herself from laughing.

(((im not trying to be too mean... rolleyes )))

(((the puck? that is an interesting name... lol )))

"you have only answered one of my questions, i still need to know what we are fighting, if anything, and what is the purpose? and what are these other advantages?"

Natasha began to make flames dance on the palm of her hand, taking sips from her bottle while watching the flickering movements.

not wanting to wait for an answer, she got up, and left the bar. she wasn't going to be late for this meeting of hers... when she got to the place where they said they would meet, she saw that everybody was there, but without any new ppl.
"Well, where are they?" she asked impatiently.
"Well, captain, we could not find any women, but we did find men..." her FM said.
"well, never mind about that, we have been asked to be in a fleet, it is called the spirit fleet. it is trying to save tortuga, from another fleet that is trying to destroy it. well, what do you say? do we want to join?" she looked at everybody as nobody spoke. then, her FM said,
"well, who is the commander?" she asked.
"the admiral is someone like me... his name is Kibo, and i said that we would think about it..." she explained.
"well, i think we should vote... all in favor for joining, raise your hand..." the FM said, more than 1/2 of the crew raised their hand. "well, i guess we will be fightin' in this spirit fleet.... now what is the price i wonder?" she smiled.
"more than the usual, i'll tell u that!" araina smiled at her crew. there were only about 10 of them, but they were strong, so she went back to the bar to tell the admiril that she was in...
