Storm looked up from her reflection and shook her head to shake off her daze. "Oh nothing, really," she said and stepped away. Perhaps vain wasn't the right word, more like fascinated with her own reflection...

Adeline raised an eyebrow in suspicion for a mere second, but then shrugged it off. Hm, probably daydreaming, she figured. Daydreaming was not necessarily bad; from time to time, she would do it herself. "So what next," she inquired aloud.

"I guess wait until we get to the island," Storm said. "Unless you have other things to discuss," she said to James.

"Nope" said James simply as he sat back in his chair, relaxing for a bit...

Storm rose her eyebrow at James. "Good to know," she said and walked out of the cabin and on deck. She leaned against the rail on the bow and looked out to sea.

Adeline wondered whether to follow Storm or to stay in with James. After she left it felt as if the room got awfully quiet...maybe too quiet for her liking. Would it be better to break the silence? She watched James thoughtfully as he leaned back in his chair and sighed. Wonder what Yuke could be up to, she thought. I wonder...no, he is dead and gone, stop that! She crossed her arms together and huffed. "What's on your mind," she decided to ask James.

Storm sighed as the waves crashed against the side of the ship and their melodious sound. "The salty breezes whisper, who knows what lies ahead, I just know I was born to lead the life my father lead, she whispered. It seemed everything about the sea sang to her.

James sat there almost mesmerised for a few moments, before fially comprehending what had been said, shrugging. "nothing really. just...enjoying your company" he said with a smirk...

by **HorseGal** » Mon Sep 14, 2009 7:25 pm

"Hm, really, that's interesting. What is it about my company that you enjoy?"Adeline was partially interested in hearing his answer, but also focused on her own thoughts, mainly about the voyage and how everything was going to turn out for them.

"What ISN'T there to enjoy about your company?" responded James with a smirk...

Meanwhile up on deck, Raphael was watching the crew working,noting the occasional glance they gave Storm.they were either not very happy about the presence of ANOTHER woman aboard, which would be due to the whole superstition of bad luck surrounding women on ships, or they were especially happy to see her. whatever the case, he kept a mental list of who was doing it and would deal with them appropriately after they dropped anchor for the night...

Storm could feel the men's glances, be they hostile or appraising. She never really cared what they thought or what they wanted, she was more focused on what they could do for her. She took off her hat for a second and started to unbraid her hair and making a big show of it letting her coat slide a bit off her shoulders to reveal bare arms and let her shirt stretch taut against her chest.

one of the older crew members, whose typical work was over, was sitting at the bow, not far from where Storm was, his back to a barrel, taking a break. he eyed the girl for a moment and considered whether he should say anything, or leave her for now. he'd grown well past the age where he cared much for affection, and honestly wanted nothing more than to live his life as a sailor to it's fullest with the few years he had. meanwhile, the crew members eying Storm were being tempted, but were more fearful of Raphael's punishment than they were interested in a woman pirate's assets. furthermore, the Captain's ridiculously clever Macaw was now perched not far from said woman pirate, watching them intently. more than once they had learned that the Macaw was the Captain's spare eyes, and would use the vocabulary their Captain and his father had taught it to tell him all he wanted to know. Rainbow, walking sideways along the railing, stopped near Storm, tilting his head to the side curiously...

Storm looked back at Rainbow and smiled delightedly. "Well, hello there handsome," she said moving a tentive finger along his chest feathers. "What can I do you for?"

by **HorseGal** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 4:28 am

Adeline shrugged and smirked a little. "Hm, I don;t know," she admitted and thought about what is it about her that he might not enjoy, then came up with something. "Ah but how about that silly superstition, you know the one about women being bad luck on ships? Now why is that?" She rubbed her chin in thought. "Maybe because of the temptation? Or is it a woman's appeal?" She started to pace the room, back and forth a few minutes before coming to a stop in front of James. "Why, why, why," she pondered while tapping her boot on the hardwood floor. "It has to be the temptation," she finally concluded with a smirk in James' direction.

by **The Kingpin** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 4:44 pm

"Oh, that's easy. it's desire and temptation. the lookouts that should be keeping an eye out for reefs end up filling their eyes and spyglasses with the women aboard the ship, and if he can't see them, he thinks about them. that's the way alot of Sailors are. not to mention the space aboard a ship doesn't leave much room for privacy, so on most ships, baths can become a problem for women. hence why i have a seperate bathing area on the ship. on most ships, bathing goes on on the deck or in a small cabin. then you have the ships where the Captains don't have a firm enough grip on their men or spend more time in their cabin than on their deck, and enjoy bringing along some 'company' for longer voyages. the result is usually a mutiny if the crew are tempted enough or superstitious enough. i suppose it's the result of being away at sea for long periods of time, not being with their families or some form of attention, at least, that's the way they see it" explained James. he got up and walked over to Shaheen, wearing a thick glove and lifting the bird, which now stood on his gloved arm, the bird's powerful taloned feet squeezing impressively tightly on the arm...

Rainbow seemed to puff up, his feathers standing somewhat, the Macaw making a cheerful twittering sound...

by **HorseGal** » Wed Sep 16, 2009 6:01 pm

Adeline shrugged. "Well I guess...men do have needs." She watched as he held the falcon (hawk?) on his gloved arm and marveled out how the bird of prey's sharp talons squeezed on the arm. "What a nice grip he has," she commented. "He would do well if we ever got into any battle."

by **Shade** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 1:37 am

Storm smiled and started to pet Rainbow's head. "Well aren't you a wonderful host," she said. "You're probably the only one who's happy to have me on this ship," she said solemnly, but kept smiling pleasantly.

"Well, falcons like him are meant mainly for hunting. but i think he could mangle a man's face fairly easy if i set him loose" said James with a note of pride. "I'd've loved to have set him loose on Davy Jones' beard, though" he added with a chuckle...

"Oh, trust me ma'am, there be lots of people here who're 'appy to have ya aboard...damn hooligans would probably try'n show ya how 'appy if they weren't afraid've bein' eaten alive by the Bosun. that man 'as almost as much control over the dogs as the Cap'n 'imself" came the elderly man's voice as he pulled himself feet, putting his arms on the railings for support. he had a scraggly grey beard and mustache, and a wrinkled face that seemed gaunt with age, a scar going down one side of his face over his left eye, which was hidden by an eyepatch. at his side wasa large, worn looking Cutlass with S.D.D carved into the blade, the grip of the blade being black with red lining, an ornament on the end of the grip in the shape of a flame adorning it...

by **HorseGal** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 4:16 am

"That would be a sight to see, though you did take care of Davy Jones pretty well." She winced as she imagined James' falcon, hacking away at a man's face. "Ew, it would be pretty gruesome, now that I about it. The man would not be a pretty sight." After making that comment, she grew quiet and focused on her own thoughts yet again. She wondered what was the time, and wondered if they were staying up too late. After all, it is best to have an early start, I suppose, she thought.

by **Shade** » Thu Sep 17, 2009 11:02 pm

Storm turned to the old man and smiled kindly. "Alright," she said and turned back to Rainbow. "Let me rephrase: happy and not willing to fool around with me." She turned back to the man. "What about you?" she asked.
