Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nicolas followed after both Jamie and Tracey, though he watched as the man went out into the water, before attempting to do the same, himself. The water was deep up until the rope and the elf was not incredibly fond of the test the captain had laid out. With an annoyed expression, Nicolas reluctantly swam out into the water, doing his best to keep his blade above water. It would require some instant cleansing once aboard the ship to ensure it did not rust. When Tracey answered his question, the elf noticed he did so with a first name. Certainly that was not what the captain went by. With a shrug, the man grabbed ahold of the rope and began to follow his gypsy upwards.

Though Nicolas had been slightly lost in his own thoughts of the ship, he could not help but catch onto the taunts coming from Jamie Gallows a few feet above him on the rope. Grinning broadly, the man began to climb up higher, inching up on the woman as best he could. Calling back to her, the man continued to grin, "I certainly could not allow you t' get away with that!" And no sooner had he spoken, the nimble man managed to creep up below her and reach a cold hand up into her skirt. With an awful laughter, the two toppled onto the deck, slightly hidden by the hustle and bustle of busy working deckhands. Certainly this would not be an impressive way to enter aboard their new ship.

Quickly gathering himself and standing onto his feet, Nicolas offered a hand to aid the woman to her own standing. They would both need to personally speak with the captain if they wished to keep their current ranks.

The smile did quite a bit to put Marey at ease, and when she spoke up, she was surprised to find her voice calm and collected, as she had been taught to speak. If there was one thing she could not rid herself of from living with her family, it was the speech, and perhaps even the way she carried herself. It was a little disappointing, to say the least, after all the hard work she had put in to defy her father's wishes, but perhaps it was not all such a terrible thing to have at least a little something from her past. Other than the beads, of course, which now she fiddled with a little. "Well, I guess it would have to depend on a definition of skills," She said with a smile. "But I can fight well enough, perhaps something to do with that may help?"

Tia watched the captain out of the corner of her eye. Tia sighed abit but then turned her attention back to Marey. "Hmm well sounds to me like your a deck hand." Tia tapped her chin for a moment getting abit lost as to what was left above deck to do.
"Help clean up the soot that was left on the deck from the cannons getting cleaned." she pointed where there was rags an water.
"Im sorry its not much, but if you will excuse me." Tia gave another smile before making her wave over to the captain. Tia waited for a moment before speaking.
"Captain, sir when you have a moment I have a question." Tia kept a strait face as another pain shot through her hand the only clues were she cleched her cut handa dn her eyes lips droped abit. The blood had seeped through the bandages but she was trying to ignore it the best she could she wanted to prove that she could work through things like that and was not some weak woman.
She had been through worse and this was not about to bring her down.
Tia heard Avelop ask for help and she started to go and help him , but he climbed down before she could.
"I could have helped you Avelop!" Tia said with a frown before turning back to the Captain.

Tracey was slower to get to the decks, and was having a tough time with climbing. His body was just not used to the strain. In fact, he slipped and fell right back into the water, luckily not making much of a sound. Shaking his head. He looked to the ropes again and pulled out his determination. Slowly, he was able to pull himself up and on to the deck. Now seeing the two's antics getting up there, he wasn't so sure what he would see once he was there.

His arms and hands hurt badly, but he didn't give the pain any time, not a word of complaint or shaking the painful limbs out. Looking around the deck, he could she the captain, and turned from him quickly, observing what was going on. The deck had gotten very lively since he left it. Alexis being there put him on high alert, had the captain ticked her off and she just hadn't gotten a chance to take it out on him?

Seeing Tia did him a lot of good. It helped him find his voice, his respectful one that he was putting on for everyone else, not the captain. "Two new recruits, Captain."

Aiden turned from Marika for a moment to look in Tia's direction. Putting a hand to his forehead and then bringing it off, the man indicated that an idea had suddenly come to him again, "Ai, we do need to speak Tia. Your hand won't heal itself in that bandage. Shall I bring you to find the medical paste?" The man could not be sure if that was what the woman truly wished to speak of, but in any case, it needed to be said.

Spotting Tracey returning to the deck, the Captain grinned broadly and patted the deckhand on the back complimentingly. "Good t' see that you have brought another two pirates to the ship!" Glancing back, the large dragon-kin was able to see both Jamie Gallows and Nicolas Morgan making their way onto the ship. By the gesture in which they held themselves and awaited his time, the man could tell they were not new to ship life. McCallahan only hoped they would prove to be of a great help aboard his ship.

Spotting an approaching Caden, the captain lifted a hand to pause the man for a moment and then returned his gaze to Tia. "Tia, you have kept a surprising amount of order among your crew mates and because of this, you have left me incredibly impressed. I need a few higher ranked pirates aboard Aurarius and hope I may be able to have a word with you once we arrange for the healing of that hand. I can't have any seamen of mine working with wounded limbs!" The teasing idea of a higher ranked seemed to slip from the captain's mouth.

Before he could say any more, however, the man heard a delicate voice come from behind. With a surprised expression and pleased grin, the man spotted Alexis and was far too willing to accept her request. "That will be incredibly possible, Alexis." Looking between both Tia and Tracey before he left, the man questioned the group, "Now whom needs to speak with me first?"

Tia glanced at her hand while Aiden spoke her seriously look she normaly gave him broke to a smile which she couldnt really help it though she wanted to. In her mind this was the greatest captain ever though she had only been around one other and that captain wouldnt be hard to top. Tia started to anwser,but then the Captain brought to her attention that Tracey was back. Tia's grin became more easily seen as she was releaved he was back and unharmed. She wanted to rush to him, but she held herself back.
When Aiden turned his attention to Tia once more she listened, but wasnt sure she was awake or not. Not a full day on the ship and already she had a chance to move up in ranks. Years, years!!! She had spent on her last ship with not a hint of approval of her work save from James the dragonkin whom had raised her even though he was young himself when they had met. Tia's eyes seemed to tell how excited she was by this oppurtunity, but before she could say anything Tracey spoke. Tia turned to look at him the expression of his face made Tia worry slightly. What was going on? Or what had happened while Tracey was ashore?
Tia now felt abit upset with worry over Tracey she choose not to speak so that the Captain would talk to Tracey first because it seemed very important.
