Welcome to Gaia! ::

Evelyn Bruce's boat was not much to look at--faded paint, stained sails, chipped railings and ratty flags--but that was exactly the way Evi needed her. The Tiger's Bonnet was in fact extremely sea-worthy with strong lines, solid bulkheads, and state-of-the-art navigating equipment cunning concealed in the the console behind the wheel. She was 49 ft single-masted work of hydrodynamic genius, with ample water and a powerful diesel engine in case of emergencies. Evi's boat was a pirate runner.

Contracted by untraceable third parties, Evi and her ship would dodge in and out of the islands of Indonesia and Oceania, bringing vital supplies to undercover operatives and covert operations bases. It wasn't all government institutions she worked with. Some were corporate, some were private. And there was one eccentric millionaire who just didn't want to be disturbed by anyone else on his private island. Evi only knew this from her observations; she never asked questions.

She did legal work, but she had to avoid the illegal people who might want to steal her cargo. Pirates. That's where the Tiger's Bonnet came in: with her run down looks, she wasn't much of a prize for any self-respecting pirate. And if any pirate did board, well, they were in for the surprise of their lives.

Evi had just dismissed her last crew after one had asked too many questions. Gossip on-board would ensure that no matter what answer she gave, everyone would know it, and the shore leave would ensure that someone not on the boat could learn of it. So instead of trying to quell the inevitable, she spun an epic tale of conspiracy, gave them each a small bonus, and advised them to scatter before men in black suits showed up on their gang plank.

Now, she needed a new crew; the smaller the better, and hopefully without the penchant for awkward questions.

Seinaru took the assortment of bags that held the new clothing for her, and headed towards the Rear of the boat, pulling out Draws, her tails taking clothing out of the bags and placing them in Efficiently, trying to show what skills she did posses. Putting on some of the new undergarments that had been bought for her, she took off the old Cloth, and went up to the deck.

Up on the deck, she held the Cloth over the edge of the boat, and let it drop, sending a few balls of Fox-fire at it, turning to ash within the blue flames. She headed back down into the galley back to her bed, Curling up on the soft mattress, and falling asleep near Instantly. Her First true bed in a long time had called to her.

(( Last post for the night, Im Pretty Tired. Plus, Time Skip))

~~The Next Morning~~

Seinaru Stretched out with a wide yawn, her Tails quivering as she finally got out of the bed. she headed up to the Deck of the boat, and sat on the railing, her tails twitching as she looked at the water. one of the largest fish she had Seen was swimming around in circles, as if it were mocking her. The long whiskers on the Fish revealed it to be a Catfish, but she wasnt aware of how they tasted.

She Sat on the railing for the longest time, watching the same fish until Her Mistress, who's name she never learned, came to find her.

Seinaru Jumped as soon as her Owner called from behind her, and fell into the water. When she resurfaced, she looked like a wet cat, but with the large catfish in her mouth, Limp. < I caught it! > She Sent Happily, swimming to the shore. Luckily, She was only in her Undergarments, so it wasnt anything too serious.

Once she was back on the boat and dry, she Sat at the table, excited to have a real meal too. Her owner was very nice.

She said, heading into the shower like her Owner requested, the warm water washing over her body. She worked out the Mats and Knots in her tail, large clumps of Fur coming out. Most of it was Caked with blood and Grime, while others were just from the inability to groom properly.

She came out of the shower with a Towel Wrapped about her self, her Tails much Lighter in Appearance, as well as fluffier. She Sat Patiently, her excitement being quelled by her hunger.

Seinaru Nodded, Determined to Prove her worth. She nibbled at the Omelette, her Tails wagging happily as the cheese stretched and stuck to her chin. her Fox like ears perked up attentively, ready to listen to every detail her Owner had to tell her.

Seinaru Soon finished the Omelette, wiping her face on one of the napkins on the table. she smiled at Evi, her golden eyes lit with delight.

Seinaru Began as Soon as She Ordered, using her tails to Pick up what she couldn't Reach, Easing them into the Hot water, and letting them soak. She started to look for the soap under the sink, and noticed some Floorboards had seemed off. she Shrugged, Grabbed the soap and started to Scrub.

As the Engines Started, she Froze and nearly dropped the dish in her hand, a Mistake she would hate to make on her first day. She Quickly finished them and set them on the Bolted down Drying rack, and Scampered up the Stairs to the Deck, sitting next to Evelyn on the ground, nuzzling her thigh. She Sent, her Tail occasionally brushing Evelyn's Arm as the boat swayed.

Seinaru Nodded and Hoisted the Sail with ease, But started looking around, Confused as to What a "Jib" Was. She Realized it was the Front sail, and Unfurled it, pulling the Cloth Taut to catch the wind. She looked back at Evelyn, Looking for approval with a smile.
