Pirates of the Caribbean RPG

[HorseGal]

"Mhm." She sighed and gazed at the water. "I can't wait to start sailing again. Land is good but...I want the smell of the ocean and the breeze and the crew scrambling around the ship. There's also a lot of moving around, on land you just stay in one place."

[Shade]

Cosimo shook his head and swallowed hard, regaining himself. He turned back to the deck and was happy to see that no one was paying attention to him. He sighed and marched over to the captain's cabin. Once he got there he spat into both his hands and swiped them through his hair and sighed, sucking up some courage to knock on the door...

[The Kingpin]

James sighed as he walked through Tortuga, looking at the various shops, plucking things off traders' tables while they were occupied with other customers, moving so calmly nobody noticed. he handed a recently stolen golden necklace, a massive sapphire in the middle of a ring of rubies on it. "For you, m'lady" he said in his best imitation of a British Servant...

[HorseGal]

"Aw James, it's beautiful," said Adeline with a giggle. "How very gentlemanly of you...would you like to put it on?" She pulled her hair to the side, hoping that he would put it on.

[The Kingpin]

"Of course" said James with a smile as he opened up the small latch on the back of the chain, put it around Adeline's neck and closed it up. "My my my, i think i need my face in your hair more often. smells nice" he commented with a smirk as he turned Adeline around to have a look at the necklace. "it looks gorgeous on you" he said...then again, everything did...

[Shade]

Storm had opened the locket, once again and was indeed crying over it. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door. She closed it and tried to clear her voice of tears. "Who is it?" she asked calmly. "Cosimo, I wish to speak with you," Cosimo said. Storm sighed, went to the locks and unlocked them slowly and went back to her chair. "Enter," she said as she turned her chair around...

[HorseGal]

Adeline turned around in it and smirked at James' last comment. "Hm that would be nice," she mumbled. "Thank you James." She stopped turning and grabbed a hold of his hand. "Where shall we go next?"

[Shade]

Cosimo sighed as he saw Storm's chair was turned around completely. "Storm I wanted to say... I'm sorry for saying you were immature, you just worry me sometimes," he said rubbing his hair. Storm started to turn the chair around. "And I guess I should apologize for giving you a scare," Storm said and turned around completely. She smiled kindly. "I'm sorry." Cosimo smiled and shoved his hands in his pockets. "I've something else to tell you, I kind of set you up to perform in one of the taverns," he said running his hand through his hair again and biting his lip. Storm's eyes widened and her expression turned to shocked amazement. "You DID WHAT??!!"

[The Kingpin]

"not really sure" said James, before mumbling "We COULD go to the Tavern if you like. i expect we have about two hours to spend there"...

[HorseGal]

Adeline shrugged. "Maybe, the tavern's always fun and lively...or we can look around some more, I want to see some of the clothes here."

[Shade]

"You heard," Cosimo said sitting down in one of the cushy chairs in the corner. "There is no way I'm performing in front of a bunch of slobbering, sickening, drunken, pirates!!" Storm yelled. "Come on, think of it as an 'I'm sorry' present for me," he said grinning. Storm gaped at him then regained composure. "There is no way, under any circumstances, that I'll perform in front of a whole tavern and that's final!!" "I can't believe you're making me perform in front of an entire tavern!" Storm squeeked behind the curtain. The tavern wasn't paying much attention to the drawn curtains, so she had a better chance of not freezing up. "You're going to be great," Cosimo reassured her. "Break a leg!" "Gee, thanks," she said. The curtain went up...

[The Kingpin]

"Sure. let's just get a drink or two first. i'm thirsty" said James as he walked towards the tavern, opening the door to find a sight that almost made him collapse with laughter. there was Tempest Storm being pushed out from behind a curtained door and into the tavern's main hall, in clothing that instantly told him what was going on. "Looks like Miss Storm is a performer" he said to Adeline as he walked through the tavern to the bartender, who looked almost too delighted to see him...

[Shade]

Blushing was impossible considering her ruddy skin, but when she saw James with his lady across the room she nearly fainted. O, Zues you do me no justice! she thought. But she took a deep breath trying to get her bearings and let it out slowly. She took a another deep breath and this time sang:

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me.
We pilage, we plunder we rifle, and loot.
Drink up me hearties, yo ho!
We kidnap and ravage, and don't give a hoot!
Drink up me hearties yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me...

The tavern suddenly fell quiet as every man turned his head toward Storm's siren like voice.

[The Kingpin]

"She's not half bad. I'd say if she were ever to join one of our little songs on the ship you'd have a partner to sing with you...though, she'll need to learn something better than that..." commented James with a smirk as he dropped 10 silver pieces on the table and said "gimme a mug of the best that you have, and some clean water too"...

[HorseGal]

Adeline shrugged. "I think she sounds rather good, nice singing voice," she commented and smiled. "A singing partner would be lovely but I kind of like singing solo...as long as you play your guitar. I love you on that guitar."

[The Kingpin]

James chuckled. "Well i'll make sure to play it more, then" he said as the man gave them their drinks. "Anythin' ya wan', mate, jus' ask" said the Bartender, James nodding, saying "That's all i'd like for now, mate. cheers". he raised his cup up slightly, before bringing it to his mouth, taking a sniff just to check it, taking a tiny sip, sure it was clear, and downing it...

[HorseGal]

Adeline smiled. "Cheers," she said, and again she followed James' example and took a sip of it before drinking a;most the full glass. "You know, I kind of miss the taste of rum."

[Shade]

We extort we pilfer, we filch, and sack.
Drink up me hearties yo ho.
Maraud, and embezzle, and even high-jack.
Drink up me hearties yo ho!
Yo ho, Yo ho, a pirates life for me.
We kindle, and char, inflame and ignite.
Drink up me hearties yo ho!
We burn up the city we're really a fright.
Drink me hearties yo ho!
We're rascals, scoundrels, villains, and knaves.
Drink up me hearties yo ho!
We're devils, and black sheep and really bad eggs
Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates life for me...

It was a strange thing, the more Storm sang the more she got into the song she actually wanted to light a torch and burn up the tavern! But she kept singing and the men kept gawking...

[The Kingpin]

"Hey mate, give us another round. and this time give us a mug of rum and a mug of heavily watered down rum" said James, the bartender getting to it, immediately bringing James and Adelines their drinks. "Go ahead then. with it as watered down as that i doubt it'll be any harm to the kid. hell, my mum was a raging alchoholic and didn't stop when she had me, but i'm alive and well, as you can probably see" he said as he put an arm on Adeline's shoulder as he continued the routine with his second mug...

[HorseGal]

Adeline smiled. "You did end up liking rum," she mused and sniffed again before drinking. She enjoyed the little taste of rum and smiled after she was done with the mug. "Ah, that was much better."
