"TUTU!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Randomman shouted. "Not 'Tutu' my friend." Cpt Dusk walked casually down a pile of rubble down from her ship. "Tortuga." She grinned, looking perfectly out of place in her feathred hat and laced collar amongst the filth of Tortuga, yet showing every sign of feeling perfectly at home.
"Wha's this? Are you French?" A drunken man took a swing at her, which she dodged easily despite the rum she'd just been drinking. "Not last time I checked, are you?"
Norrington followed her more slowly. Wearing a more toned down coat and hat, yet swaying slightly. Apparently he'd given in to the Captain's attempts at getting him to drink.

The collision threw Aramis to the floor, along with the pot of, whatever it was he had been concocting. 'Oh Bugger, what's happened?' He talked to himself as he picked himself up, dusting off his coat. 'Maybe I should clean this place up at some point. So much dust everywhere.'
Rushing up to the deck, he saw Tortuga in all it's glory. Which didn't amount to much. 'Tortuga! Look Steve, it's Tortuga again!' Steve fell from the rigging into his outstretched arms, nearly flooring him. 'Come on boy, lets go see whats been happening since we were here last.' Aramis started to make for the side of the ship, but stopped. 'Jose! Steve, if you would be so kind to wait here, I must go and retrieve Jose. He so wanted to see Tortuga again, and find a body.' He skipped back below deck to find the shrunken head, reappearing again shortly brandishing it.
'Look Jose, Tortuga! The happiest place on Earth.' Picking up Steve, he lept over the side of the ship, landing with grace on the ruined dock, and proceeded to skip along, only to trip over a coil of rope. 'Bugger.'

(Randomman starts walking around) Randomman: still seams like a Tutu place to me. (Big Gun comes out of the sea and joins Randomman to explore around.) Big Gun: ...everyone's looking at us Randomman: Yohohohoho! Why not! Tutu is famous for gathering cool folk like us! (The crowd seams to part in the crew path.) Big Gun: ..I suppose so. (They pass a cake shop. all but Randomman stop. Randomman eyes sparkle and he grins) Randomman: Tutu I love you already. (Randomman proceads to dash into the cake shop.)

The french-accusing pirate turned to hit the captain again but she dodged again and knocked him over the head with her pistol-butt before calmly making her way to the Faithful Bride, followed slowly by Norrington.
"I'm back!" Cpt Dusk shouted proudly, no one stopped fighting long enough to notice but she looked pleased anyway.
Norrington followed her in. "Oi...aren't't you that'git what was tellin' us to form a 'orderly line'?" "Aye, that be 'im Larry." "Di'ny you learn yer lesson last time?" Norrington didn't answer. "Listen to me when I'm talkin' to ya!"Norrington smirked. "It's a pity, such a nice hat wasted above such an ugly face." Larry attempted to bash him over the side of the head with his pistol but it met Norrington's sword.

Aramis pushed his way inside the Faithful Bride, skipping along with Jose and Steve. 'Hello all! Did you miss me?!' he shouted, smilling at everyone inside. To one side he could see Norrington about to get himself into a fight. Good for him he thought to himself, carefully working his way to the bar and the Captains side.
'So Mademoiselle Dusk, what are your plans for our stay here?' Whilst he talked, Steve climbed done onto the bar, snatching a bottle of rum that someone had foolishly left there. He sighed, she was busy ordering drinks for herself again. 'Well, if you need me, I'll be introducing Jose to some friends of mine. See you around. And Steve, try not to drink too much this time.' Aramis headed out into the rowdy crowd that packed the Faithful Bride, eager to get Jose fixed. But was it a body or a brothal that he had wanted?

Post by Prince Kai-Mijo on Jun 16, 2008 0:34:17 GMT -5
After having spent a few hours yelling at Nazaki for not telling her of the map that would have been OH SO USEFUL on the DESERTED ISLAND, Kai-Mijo huffed, and then oggled over the sparkly ring and key necklace Nazaki had found. They were pretty, actually~!
...pretty useless.
Regardless, enough wandering had once more found them on the beach, and well, whaddya' know? A nice rowboat had been left for them. Perhaps recent visitors had forgotten to take it with them, but Kai-Mijo was not about to complain. Still dragging the newly-leashed native with them, Kai-Mijo proceeded to push the boat into the water, hop on, drag Nazaki on too (who was probably gazing off vacantly into the distance), and for the hell of it, she let the leashed native on too.
Hey, they needed provisions, right? Well, Kai-Mijo did, at least.
For Nazaki, she made sure to pack plenty of coconuts, mangoes, papayas. She was tempted to bring a durian in case they needed some form of defense, but deciding she didn't want to risk stinking her garb up, she left the idea alone. And once everyone was seated comfortably, she hefted the oars...and they were off!
....to only God knew where.
After several day of grumbling, complaining, almost getting eaten by a shark(s), storms, temperamental Nazakis and Kai-Mijos, and bite marks left on the leashed-up native, the boat finally hit shore at...at...hmm, come to think of it, Kai-Mijo had no idea where they were. It was filthy; Kai-Mijo's initial reaction was to puke up the contents of her stomach (the native's blood, mainly), but she managed not to, as of course such a display would do much to insult her image of elegance and baras and other cheesy stuff like that.
Still, it was land, and more to the point, it was civilization. Low, grungy civilization, but it was civilization nonetheless. And with civilization came people for food. Additionally, once Kai-Mijo had gotten over the smell...well, okay, it was bearable.
Of course, Tortuga was hardly 'tropical' anymore, so Kai-Mijo's racial traits of Islander Cold Vulnerability were kicking in. Pulling her coat about her more tightly as she stepped off of the rowboat, she smiled toothily towards the collared native and untied his rope, tossing the hemp aside. "Sorry for the bites, dear. Hope you don't mind. You're free to go wherever the hell you want now, though, unless of course you wanna stick with us. Doesn't matter much to me either way." Leaving that bit up to him, Kai-Mijo turned to assist Nazaki out of the boat, making sure to keep her skirts out of the muck that lined the shore, and most of the street for that matter.
"Come! We must find something to eat, and a nice warm bed. I, personally, would like to have something other than fruit and sunburned native's blood. Maybe we can find some peach mango pies! Or eel. Or something. Let's get inside soon, too, for my Islander Cold Vulnerability is beginning to get to me." Shivering visibly, Kai-Mijo took Nazaki's arm and then proceeded to drag her to the nearest tavern-like place.
"Faithful Bride? Hah! People here hardly look the kind to fill THAT archetype. But whatever. 'S warm, and probably cheap. C'mon!" Glad that Nazaki's dress was able to part crowds, Kai-Mijo dragged her on inside, immediately having to duck to avoid being beheaded by a flying, broken bottle of some smelly alcohol or other. "Gah! Let's get our room and get the hell outta' this mess--" but naturally, before she could finish, some random dude had decided to drag her into a fist fight.
"Naaazaaaakiiii~!! Au secouuuurs~!!!" she yelped, disappearing momentarily into the mass of ragged, drunken sailors and such. But then. A slight flash of light, an explosion of flower scented smoke, and as if an invisible shockwave had pulsated throughout the current landing, all those within Kai-Mijo's immediate proximity had been knocked over in a flurry of bara rose petals.
As the last few bits of flower fluttered to the ground, Kai-Mijo sniffed haughtily. "Foolish you are, to test the mettle of the Mijo clan." Stepping daintily over the fallen body of the nearest thug, she linked arms with Nazaki again, and then proceeded onwards to intimidate the innkeeper into finding a nice quiet room. And food.

"Hey, Aramis!" He was already weaving through the crowd with Steve dangling from his neck and Jose in hand. She shook her head, looking rather like Norri, and went after him. "Aramis, work on getting some more hands will you? We're not exactly efficient with us ordering ONE person around." She caught a flying rum bottle. "Nice! Free rum!" Someone was knocked into her and elbowed it as they hurried away-it flew to the floor in a shower of glass. "Hey! That was my free rum!!" She bashed him over the head with her pistol butt and kicked his friend down. Getting into the swing of things and enjoying herself, rather forgetting about the free rum. "Hey Norri! I didn't know you knew how to have fun!" He took a large swig of the rum he was carrying. "Fun? Hardly."

Randomman: Cake cake cake how i love you!(oh deer its the cake song XD) (most of the customers are plugging their ears. while the stores clerk is hitting Randomman on the head with a broom.) Store clerk: For the last time get out of my store! Randomman: Yohohohoho! I have to sing! For the love that is cake! (Randomman resumes singing. the store clerk is about to hit him on the head. but a hand stops the blow.) The man: Bwhahahaha! give it a rest my deer! The kind gentleman just bought all of your stores cake! and that singing comes straight from his very soul! Why he's the perfect example of a man with good taste. Store clerk shocked: You you're! (The man grabs Randomman by collar.) The man: come with me lad! Lets find you company that can really understand men like us. (Randomman gets dragged out of the store and into a pub called the Faithful Bride.) The man: Yar! Give us the good stuff! This is my new drinking buddy! ah um sorry about that lad what was your name? (Randomman just finishing his cake. he starts licking his lips.) Randomman: Randomman The man: thats right Randomman! everyone drinks are on me! (everyone starts cheering blackbug or something like that.)

'As you wish Captain.' Aramis proceeded to find a nice looking table, making Steve chase away the occupants. He stood on the table and shouted; 'Welcome one and all! Tonight, for night only, the Midnight Hangman will be hiring new crew members! Anyone interested in life of adventure, free food, and of course, RUM, come and stop by and have a little chat.' He jumped down from the table, picked up a fallen chair, and proceeded to wait for people to come to him.
At the bar he noticed a couple of strangely dressed individuals. 'Now that Jose, is how NOT to dress when in Tortuga.' He cocked his head towards the shrunken head as though he was listening to something. 'Now I'm sorry Jose, but the Captain wants me to hire a new crew. You're just going to have to wait until later.' He placed the head next to him, picked up Steve as he return and gave him a new rum bottle.
'Ah, welcome sailor, are you prepared to sail the seas, plundering, pillaging, and singing jaunty songs?'
'Aye, I thinks that I be.' An extremly unwashed, scabrous midget stood infront of him, his greasy hair just showing over the top of the table.
'And do you have any experience my good fellow? Ever stepped foot on a boat.' He rolled his eyes. Why did Tortuga always seem to attract only the weird ones?
'Aye, I sails here from England. Been on boats all me life.' He coughed, and spat on the floor.
'Fine, fine. But, if we hire you, please no spitting on the deck. And take a bath, you reek worse than a pigsty.'
'Well, I was sleeping there last night...'
'Fine fine. You're hired. Now, please go get cleaned up, or we leave you here.' He sighed as he looked at the growing crowd infront of him. Tonight was going to be a long, stinking, filthy night.

"Good job Aramis!" Cpt Dusk said giggled with her cheeks only reddening after quite a few drinks as she ran by him chased by a rather large gang of pirates. She stopped and knocked out the first two in the group, one almost managed to hit her but Norrington stopped him. "Bloody pirates. Forget the line, I can take the lot of you!" He took a swig and stumbled back a little toward Cpt Dusk. "That's my Norri!" She giggled and gave him a kiss while the pirates who'd been chasing her got madat her lack of attention and took out their swords. "That's more like it!" the captain finally drew her sword, grinning widely. Norrington leaned againts the nearest wall a bit, completely drunk but was still fighting with his usual skill.

Aramis sighed to himself once more. Why did the Captain always get to have all the fun? he thought to himself as yet another mangy cur walked up to signed his life away as a crew member on the Hangman. So far he had recruited a grand total of 5, not bad for 15 minutes of work, but still not enough to fully man the ship.
'Next!' he shouted after signing on a one legged man. 'Hello good sir, I would like to sign on for your crew if I may.' Aramis raised an eyebrow. Before him stood a gentleman with a perfectly powdered wig, clothes with an excessive amount of lace, and wearing a really silly hat 3 sizes too small for his head.
'I think you may be in the wrong place. You do understand what it is we'll be doing don't you?'
'Well, you did say, adventure, free food, and rum. The rum though doesn't sound very appealing. And I am so bored with home. Father is such a bore, and all the local ladies look like horses.'
'Look, I'll be honest with you. We don't want your type on the ship. If you had a bigger hat, then maybe, but as it stands, no. Theodore!' The midget he had hired earlier jumped to attention. 'Can you see this gentleman the door please? Maybe get the others to help?' Theodore grinned and nodded to the others, who proceeded to haul the dumb rich man outside and throw him into the awaiting pigsty.
'No Jose, that was not being mean. We were doing the stupid git a favour, trust me. Plus, would you want him stinking out the ship with his perfum? Next!' He hollered again, only to see a man pulling himself along on a strange buggy. Oh Lord, please save me from this madness!

Norrington came in brushing off the noble's under sized hat. Wouldn't want a perfectly good hat to go to waste in the mud. He somehow tucked it away to his pocket and then wondered over to 'black bug' and pinched out the fuse. "That's dangerous you uncouth wretch." Then he 'confiscated his rum and went off to help the captain out, or maybe...the people who were fighting her out, whichever.
Cpt Dusk laughed and shot her pistol into the air. "Stop running away, you guys are no fun!" She waved her sword, but the gang that had been following her was exhausted so she just sat down and ordered some more rum.

The man: what's with him? Not a smoker or something? Randomman: oh he's always crazy like that and Yohohohohoho! (Randomman starts laughing uncontrollable.) The man: Bwhahaha you ok lad? (The man starts whispering something to a couple of Women. They start to drag him upstairs) The man: Don't worry boy! They will take good care of yah! (the wall beside the stairs explodes in a loud bang. out of the smoke two golden eyes can be seen.)

Post by Princess Nazaki ♪ on Jun 16, 2008 3:01:19 GMT -5
Nazaki followed Kai-Mijo carefully through the crowds, making sure to keep the hem of her dress clean. She didn't like crowds, especially ones that were in rowdy taverns full of pirates who had the alcohol tolerance of a viking god. She hoped, at least, that there would be good food here. She loved fruit and all, but the same few types of food repeated for a few weeks starts to wear on one's patience.
...The other thing she hated about taverns was the tendency for bystanders to get pulled (literally) into random fist fights. Fortunately, the -Mijo clan's secret powers were hard at work protecting their arses. Nazaki smiled happily, breathing in the smell of roses before it was once again replaced with booze and salt.
They walked off, trying to find an innkeeper-esque person. When they finally tracked one down, Nazaki let Kai-Mijo do all the threatening talking. She looked around, taking in the unfamiliar scenery. There was the usual crowd of drunks, running around, singing, dancing, fighting, gaining and losing accents, throwing food, eating food, putting food on their heads, putting cats on their heads, stripping, and yelling "ARRR!" and "BUGGERS!!!" seemingly nonstop. There was also a person standing on a table, yelling about what sounded like a cruise. Nazaki made a mental note to ask Kai-Mijo about that, which was promptly erased by her mental eraser.
And there was a creepy guy in the corner who seemed to be staring at her. Nazaki drew closer to Kai-Mijo. She hoped there were rooms available.
