Garvin "Gar"~male~ The North Star

Downing the other cup of drink the ol' buck hiccuped some before walking back out on the deck. Here he took his point up on the rail in front of the wheel. "Alright ye landlubbers listen up while ye captain be speakin'! Ye quarters 're down below ta deck, be sure ta get some rest ye got a long day ahead 'o ya." With that he jumped from the rail. Despite the alcoholic smell on his breath one couldn't tell he had been drinking least not yet. Give him a few hours and he wouldn't be fit to swab the poop deck! On a night like this he would drink till the sun rises, yet no one knew why. Perhaps he too didn't know why he did such things. Come the next day though everyone would pay for Garvin was normally in a foul mood first day back to sea. "Ye all know what ye be good at, I trust ye to place ye selves accordin'ly. If thar be a problem ye know whar I'll be." Having checked the ship over he made what back to his quarters again closing the door behind him.

Tulio~male~ currently none

Bored already the puffadore stood making his way to the small rodent like animal and her big feathered friend. "Senora." He said taking a slight bow. "It's a lovely evening out with the moon out, though the rain tends to spoil it. If you don't mind me asking why exactly did you choose to come about lord this ship?" Awaiting his answer, Tulio say in front of the bird like animal wrapping his tail about his body.

Willow walked over to where Kana was, "umm... do we know where we're going?" She asked hoping it wasn't a obvious question. She knew they had a navigator but Willow was still felt insecure with out knowing where she was going. She was not going to be on a ship with out knowing where she was going. Willow sat down next to Kana, hoping she had a answer. Willow breathed in the smell of the sea and knew this was where she belonged.

The Nixi perked her ears up sensing someone was close thinking it was Byrd again she turned around only to find a small Puff. Kana was a bit shocked by her question as she was unsure also, but sensing the nervous tone in her voice Kana decided it best not to stir more confusion. " Why On an Adventure Of course!" she said With enthusiasm turning her gaze to the stars again. " We may not know our Destination, but that's not the part that matters, For its the Journey in between that is the real adventure." She said with a wink before cutting her deep philosophical babble and giving her a real answer. " I'm really not sure where we are headed... but you shouldn't fret, worrying about things yet to come can cause you to miss whats happening in the now. For Example, This may be one of the few times we see the stars on our trip, I don't want to miss it" She said flopping onto her back looking at the stars again.

Angel padded out of the Galley, Clover alongside her.
"Hello, what's up me fellow crewmates?" she asked. Clover dashed around her feet. "Oi you, stop that!"
"But I'm bored." Clover complained.
"Fine then. Do ye Cabin Boy chores." Angel said.
"Awww, but Mum...."
"No buts. Now get to it."
"Fine."
Clover padded off towards the starboard, where a mop and bucket stood. He picked up the mop, and started to swab the deck.

Ilmarinen ~~ 16 ~~ Male ~~ the inn

As the furball that had been on his back asked if he was a female he quickly shaked his head. He may not act like a testestorone filled male that goes berserk all the time but he IS a male. However when asked about if he was to walk up on the ship he slowly raised his head. His two golden eyes looked at the ship some time. How many times had he seen ships but never dared touching them? Slowly he turned his face from the ship as he tried to consider what to do.

His masters had been having several ships and boats in their possesion but never had he been allowed to even touch them. As soon as they had been used he had simply been forced to run along the shore or fly after. At one time the wind had died as his masters had been traveling upstream a river and with that they had simply put a harness on him so he had to pull the ship.Once at the docks he had been bleeding there the harness had been resting on his body, barley able to move any more he had simply been locked into a shed to tend to his wounds on his own while his masters fested to their hearts content.

Slowly his eyes turned from the ocean and the velvet sky dressed in diamonds and a massive pearl acting as the moon. His eyes rested on the ship a bit more before he closed his eyes. He had been in the masters ownership since he no loonger needed his parents. He had barley been a year old as his parents sold him to a life of miserry. If he had been lucky, it had been a short life of pain and suffering. is life had from that time been filled with rules and regulations. Beatings and yelling had been his food, working in the mines had been his water, sleepless nights and days there he worked under the unwavering sun or in blizzards untill he no longer was desired was his pillow and blanket. Getting a beating for something so insignifigant as stealing a pea, or a bit of fish that fell to the floor would reward him with beatings untill he bleed put its traces on a induvidual. In silence he looked at the ship, never having been allowed to even touch a ship and now simply beeing offerd to walk up one without a bat of an eye it was a lot to take in. He had just about begun to shake in cunfusion as he tried to make up his mind.

A accent he had never heard untill that werry moment made him return to the present. Curiously he looked at the source of the accent that he heard. However as soon as he saw the puffadore he crawled into a ball and backed of a bit. That is for sertain a puffador, not a creature he holds dear. His masters had done many dealings with puffs in his lifetime. Puffs was the only creatures he had ever seen yelling, screaming and cursing his masters as well as dictating themwith ease. If his masters had hold his life in their paws, having the right to end it due to their whims, what was not a puff then able to do as they pushed his masters around? Nervously he looked at the puff, pulling he tail around himself in a protective manner. With the tail around him as a shield he glanced around to see the massive lighra on the dock so he instincivly took a nother step to the side, balancing on the edge, threatning to fall in at any moment.

When Ilmarinen shook his head no to being female, Crys was somewhat relieved that he could understand her. At least he's learned to understand common tongue well enough. She turned to scurry up the gangway but stopped when she didn't hear him follow her up onto the main deck. He looked very confused and bewildered and he wasn't even aboard ship yet! "Come oop here Spots!" She called to him waving her paw for him to follow, "The Noth Star tis our home fer now, so get'cha on oop here so we can get ye berthed fer da night." Despite her words, he had continued to hesitate. Action was called for. "Wait right there lad, I'll he'p get ye oop here." Despite the enormity of the job before her, Crystal Tavi went about it with a very simple process. Spots was a former slave, lean and poorly nourished, and the way to any males heart was through his stomach; especially if it got you up close and personal with their bank accounts. She made her way past the cabin boy giving him a gentle pat on the head as she passed, and followed Angel into the galley. "Ahoy Cookie! Tain't time fer banter, point me to'ards ye pantry fer a t'ing o' sardines. pleeze." She didn't bother to wait long once Angel pointed it out. She quickly rummaged through it and produced two tines of sardines and ran back out onto the main deck and off the gangway while opening the first tin. She had flung the first two or three sardines right at Ilmarinen's beak, then once he recognized it was food she began flicking them shorter distances to make a trail from the dock onto the gangway, then up the gangway to the main deck. She left the second tin about half full in the middle of the main deck, for she expected hunger to overcome fear. Then she just needed to shut the gangway access once he was aboard. "Ye musta' been a slave all yer life Spotty, jus' relax and stick by me til ye get yer free talons un'er ye. She reassured him and stroked his feathers. "Alright ye landlubbers listen up while ye captain be speakin'! Ye quarters 're down below ta deck, be sure ta get some rest ye got a long day ahead 'o ya... e all know what ye be good at, I trust ye to place ye selves accordin'ly. If thar be a problem ye know whar I'll be."

Tavi continued stroking Ilmarinen as the captain laid out what his intentions were. They didn't exactly sit well with Crystal. She knew that Jinx had at least 40 or 50 brigands about this shanty town, and they might feel inclined to spill blood for blood. Sauced as the captain was it wouldn't be a very good time to bring the matter up with him. "Senora... If you don't mind me asking why exactly did you choose to come about lord this ship?"

Tavi's teeth almost chattered angily if it weren't for Tulio's naive manners and misunderstanding of what he had just undone. Ilmarinen was shaking like an oak tree in a thunderstorm, his pupils dillated to fight or flight, and if he flew now, not only would they not catch him, but he was liable to return to the dock to fall prey as someone else's slave! Her eyes glinted at the happless puffadore for a moment before she spoke "I do mind, yer honor. But since ye're timing er so bad lemme tell ye what I will fer truth. I'm a thief, a cutt'roat an' a brigand in me own right." And she said it all with a disarming smile. "Aye tis true Don. A purdy t'ing like me has a black 'eart. But tis naught fer ye ta fret. Yer crew I suppose fer now." She said leaning over and wrapping a paw about Tulio's shoulders. Not that he had anywhere to go with Ilmarinen behind him. "Though I'm afeared ye come ta meet me at a invconvenient time ye ken. See my frien' here ain't too fond o' ye. An' yer undoin' all me hard work ta get him comfy aboard ship. So I'd appreciate it if'n ye'd take yer nosey manners elsewhere fer now." She emphasized her speech with hand motions using her free hand and patted him on the tummy when she finished, expecting him to get the point that he wasn't wanted at the moment. At about that moment Byrd was passing by and Ilmarinen backed away towards the gangway. To which Crys took her arm off Tulio's shoulder and put it on her forehead and ran it down her face with some theatrical frustration. A necessary rouse to distract Tulio from the fact that the role in his belt was now just a rolled up scrap of paper. She had palmed and concealed the map for the moment and went over to get Spotty away from the side of the ship. "Take her easy there Spotty, yer safe n' sound an' wit' me. An' if that mean ol' puffy tries ta hurt ye, I'll tickle 'is ribs wit' this." She reassured him, pulling a small stilletto blade seemingly out of nowhere. "Now calm ye'self cause we got some work ta do afore we get some shuteye an' we're goin' ta need all hands." "Hey byrd, a moment! She bellowed at the big fellow, then up to the crow's nest. "Ahoy ye two, git doon here in two shakes, will ye?! And ye too. She said pointing at Druid, then waited for them before laying out her thoughts on the evenings events.
