Cleaver: Stupid dog! Because of you I’ve even been loocked out of my own room! Hmpth *he grumples* I will just have to catch that mutt latter. *Cleaver grumbles his way over to the deck* Cleaver: hm? Whats with all the noise? *he sees James* Cleaver to himself: whats a cute kid like him doing here? *Cleaver walks over to the group reminding himself to try to be as nice as possible * Cleaver: Oy Norri! Armais! Whats with the lady and the kid? *Cleaver thanks bloody heaven for not calling her women. He crouches and tries to put on a nice smile.* Cleaver: Hi there kid. My names Cleaver whats yours? *Cleaver chants in his head “be nice, be nice you can do it cleaver. Things are different now.” he shakes the thought of being sold at the auction house. Cleaver still smileing while chanting in his head “that was in the past. Im no ones dog”. Cleaver starts hearing the voices of the acuction house. “Look at his teeth!” “It’s some kind of monster!” “What an ugly kid!” “Let’s just buy him to stone the freak to death!” Cleaver still smileing. He pushes his past back further. He chants in his head “Its all in the past, its all in the past. Just move on with a smile. Even a monster like me can be kind right? All I have to do is smile. But… Cleaver thinks about his teeth. “No. no just smile. Don’t think about your appearance. If I can be kind. people might accept me as am. and not for being a freak right? ” Cleaver smiles on*

Pretty much all of the men with the balls to fight had been defeated already so Echoe decided to leave before more showed up. The dress was killing her. She quickly started making her way to the ship, unaware of the tall man that watched her from the doorway with a cheesy smile.
Die meanwhile was in Aramis' group, so we pretty much know whats been happening to the idiot. He sighed as Aramis continued to insult the poor woman and decided he didn't want to be around when things got ugly. Or, ugly-ER. He turned to walk away just as Echoe hurried past, barely giving the scene a look in her hurry. "Ah, Echoe! Are you--" "Silence. I'm not hurt." She said as she crossed the deck to her storage room. Die was stunned, but followed her anyway. "Are you sure? You sound really cross..." "Of course I am. This thing is crushing me." She said as she went in and grabbed the bag by the door and took it to the back, dropping it onto a crate. Die had followed her in without thinking and was about to ask what she was talking about when she started undoing the back of her dress. He went crashing into the doorframe behind him as he tried to jump back outside "OH SHI-- ow! I mean, sorry, I'll leave you alone hahaha..." He managed to get outside, face bright red and back hurting, and closed the door. Echoe sighed as she pulled off the dress and started working on the corset. "Idiot."

*The “noisey one” has left. The serpent thought as it crept through the air locks. Well for now it was safe. The serpent moves faster through its surrondings. It had recentally finshed a good meal of a stowaway rat that manged to get bored The Midnight Hangman. The serpernt hisses. Its mouth still blood soaked from its meal. It had not found any others of its kind but. The serpent ran througth a couple other maze like passgeways. There was one it felt it was chosen to protect. The serpent runs faster. It knew it just met this starange being but it was like fate. The serpent knew it had a calling. And that was to its queen. It rushes into the darkness searching for the queen mother. I my be alone while proceting the almighty one. But it makes no diffence. The serpent curls up next to its mother hissing. Long live the queen. *
Big Gun: aw there you are Fluffy. I was being to worry about you. *She pets the aliens head as it sleeps soundly nestled in her cleavage* Big Gun: I wonder if you were worried about me to. *Big Gun blushes as she hears the creature softly purring* Big Gun: so cute.

She quickly covered her chest with her left arm that she had used to punch the lunatic that had tried to undress her. 'James, are you going to do something, or just stand there as a woman is assaulted?' She glared at Norri who's eyes seemed to be somewhat fixed in place, and her faced turned a fetching shade of red.
In the back of his mind Norrington reminded himself to hand over tonight's rum rations to Aramis. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nemo, that was very wrong of you."
'But, he's a eunuch. Although, that punch was a little stronger than I normally would expect from one.' Gingerly, he forced himself onto one knee, wincing in pain. This is going to hurt in the morning he thought to himself. Why is it also a knee to the groin? Where did all the originality go?'
'Now, Norrington, there is only one why left for me to convince you that this is in fact a eunuch.' Quickly he reached out and took hold of Elizabeth's hem, but before he could do any more was greeted with a swift sharp kick in the teeth, knocking him to the ground again. Ah, so it is a she! He grinned at the sight as he lay on deck, pretending to be unconscious.
Norrington looked less pleased now. "Really if the Captain were to see you behaving like this..." Dusk burst out laughing. "Silly Norri, good one Aramis!" The ship started to pull out into open water.
'Mummy, why are the bwuildings getting smaller?' Little James pulled on his mum's dress, and pointed to the shrinking port.
'You!' She pointed at Dusk, accidentally revealing her chest again, her right hand occupied with hold her son's hand. Quickly covering herself again, she stormed over to Dusk. 'Why is this ship leaving port! Do you know who I am?!'
"Mrs. Brown?"
'No! I am Mrs William Turner! My husband is the captain of the Flying Dutchman! I was voted as the Pirate King! Doesn't this mean ANYTHING to you people?!'
Dusk blinks. "That's nice Mrs. Brown. Welcome on board the Midnight Hangman. You can er... stay below decks with the crew they won't mind."
Norrington shook his head, not good. "Er, Captain would it be alright if 'Mrs Brown' and the boy were to use my quarters...' "Absolutely not." She said flatly. "We're using it right now anyway what with Red hogging mine..."
'She can use my cabin.' Aramis dragged himself to his feet and limped over to Dusk. 'I'm sure that little James here will like it. And it's not like I'm using them currently.'
'I refuse to share a room, or having anything to do with this man!' By now Elizabeth was getting frustrated with everything. Norrington had turned in to a lecherous man, her son was abandoning her for the man that had just tried to undress her, now to top it off she had been kidnapped by pirates again!
"Hm yeah. She can stay there. Got that Mrs. Brown? Or you can stay with the crew belowdecks. Aramis... aren't you meant to be on your ship?"
'But I brought you a present. Here.' Aramis reached over and picked up little James, and passed him over to Dusk. 'He came free with this cute little stuffed bunny. And I know how much you like little boys.'
"Oh, excellent. Do you like rum little boy?"
'I wuv wum! Unkie Awamis gave me some earlier. Tastes just like apple sauce! Do you have more wum lady?'
Dusk grinned wickedly. "Oh yes, more than you can imagine."
"And, you're so young...it's probably a lot that you can imagine aye?”
'Yay!' James jumped up and down in Dusks arm chanting 'wum, wum, wum' over and over again.
Elizabeth stood looking on dumbfounded. Her she was, on a pirate ship, surrounded by idiots. This wasn't what pirates were meant to be like, except maybe for the rum. They were meant to be honourable, vicious, the scourge of the seas, not THIS.
Norrington took this opportunity to slip away and 'check the heading'. Dusk looked at Aramis over the bouncing boy. "So Aramis, why is this eunuch on board?"
"I thought you didn't like Mr. Brown?"
'Well, I went to get my revenge on that wine besotted old man. We egged his house. We egged it good.' Aramis grinned, thinking back on his crews excellent performance earlier that day. Oh bugger, where's my crew? And my ship?' 'Ahh, Captain, can you see my ship anywhere? I seem to have miss placed it.'
"Hmmn... isn't that it there? That sort of ... odd one with the seagull?" She pointed to a speck on the horizon.
'Oh, yes, that's the one. Good old faithful Theodore. That and Steve must have got back on board. Anyway, it decided to follow me claiming that I kidnapped her son. But as we know, a Eunuch can't have children. Which is why I was showing Norri that it was a he, not a she, and that was when you returned and cast off.'
Dusk looked over at the silly eunuch and shook her head. "Now, how would you like some of that rum now whatever your name is?"
'Put my son down this instant!' Elizabeth stormed up to Dusk and snatched her son back. 'If you ever touch him again you, witch, I'll make you suffer.'
'But Mummy, she was going to give me wum!' Little James began crying, hoping that it would get him some more of that delicious drink that Unkie Aramis had given him earlier.
"Poor deprived child!" Dusk looked like she was going to join James 2.0 in tears.
Norrington meanwhile, had locked himself in his quarters and was debating ever emerging from them again.
'Now, I invoke the right of Parley.' She looked smugly at the woman in front of her that seemed on the verge of tears. 'As a pirate, you cannot harm another pirate who seeks to parley.' There, that should get us off the ship
"We don't have parsley. Aramis, do we have parsley?"
'No, I don't like to use the stuff. Far to English for my liking. And if I don't like it, I don't buy it. But I do have some nice pomegranates somewhere. Would that do?'
I guess so. How about a pomegranate Mrs. Brown?"
'Are you really pirates? Or are you just pretending because it sounds like fun?' Did these idiots really not know what parley was?
'Although, a pomegranate does sound nice...'
"Oh good than we've reached an agreement."
'What, but I want to leave this ship! I have a life, a family, a lo.. Er, a husband that captains the most feared ship on the sea! That was NOT a parley!'
'Here's your pomegranate.' Aramis pulled a small reddish fruit from his coat and threw it at Elizabeth, who caught it, flashing the assembled crew a pleasant sight. 'And that, would conclude our parley my dear.' Aramis grinned. Poor thing.
She looked at the fruit, then at the pirates in front of her. Oh god, they tricked me! And now I'm going to be stuck here, surrounded by lecherous men, and oh god is she staring at my chest as well!? She stood there in a daze, no longer trying to preserve her modesty, her sanity slowly evaporating like a puddle under the sun.
Dusk patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, it happens to everyone."

Of course, it was at that point that a yawning Tod emerged with Red in tow, the former stretching as Red rubbed his eyes. Awoken by all the commotion, Tod seemed slightly grumpy and Red bemused as always.
Looking around the deck, he spied Dusk, and ignoring everything else, smiled "Mother! You're back! What took you so long-" Tod cut him off with a nudge to the side, jostling him with her elbow, "Shh," she hissed, "We've guests." With a slightly wicked grin, she made a bow, "T'is a lady on board, Reddie-me-lass; ye'll hafta treat 'er wit propor respect loike." Red simply scowled, ignoring the child, Aramis and the Eunuch, instead focusing on Dusk. Of course, Red was still in his dress and Tod in her newly acquired Redcoat suit - well, sort of suit, - more of an admiral's uniform. Not Norri's, but similar. With a grin, she pulled the hat off and tossed it lightly to Dusk, "For you, Commodore, as a token of our appreciation." She winked knowingly at the captain, while Red scowled. "Mother -" He began, only to be cut off by Tod - again -. "'Ere now bucko-me-lass, whut did I jus' tel ye? Thar be a lady presoint." "Where? I don't see no lady! I mean, I don't see a lady! See what your infurnal, insuffrabl- gah! I can't even speak properly!" Tod grinned with a wicked glee that made Red cringe back. "Regoirdless, it be high time ye were in yer bed, little one. With yer permissheon, cap't?" She took hold of Red's arm, and glanced at the assembled motley mass, "T'as been a pleasheor makin' yer acquainteeonce. Admiral-commodore-captoin, cap't Aramis, me-lady, Jaoimes." She smiled down at the little boy, then gave Elizabeth a withering look, "Ye ain't been raoising 'im right, me-lady. 'E's no go' ta breath o rum on 'im. Call yeself a pirate?!"
Red simply remained tight lipped, pouting adorably at not being 'allowed' to go over to Dusk and hug her. Still, they had company...
"Oih, by ta way, cap't," Tod commented, "we saved ye som cake, and brought aloing som' cooiks ta moike more. An' brought som' few dresses alon', an' som' unifoirms, 'an coats; we stoipped boi a tailor afta raidin' ta mansheon, ye see. An'," she smiled, "awaitin' ye in yer Norri's cabin be a rack o' hats we poicked up. Reddie 'ere 'elped chooise som' o' 'em. E'll moike ye proud." She ruffled Red's hair, and his cheeks flushed crimson. Tod winked at Dusk. "We ulso goita few poink an' porple ribbuns for ta lass' hoair 'ere."
It would appear that's what had kept the two occupied. Cakes, dresses, uniforms, coats, hats, and ribbons... ...the best of which, they'd saved for their beloved captain. How thoughtful.

Randomman sleeps on unaware of poor Cleavers fate.*

Echoe kicked off her heels and pulled off the corset with a heavy sigh, the bandages and pants she wore normally still on underneath. "I guess I should have taken these off... too late to whine, it's over." She none-too-carefully tossed the dress and other borrowed garments in a heap nearby and grabbed her overcoat from the nail it was hanging on next to the door. She sighed again as she settled the coat on her shoulders and spoke louder "And whoever is in here better came out right now before I accidently set the gun powder on fire." There was a long silence before a slight laugh came from behind her and a very tall man stood from his hiding place behind a crate. "So sharp. And tough. I love it." He said and clapped his hands together. He gave her a strange grin as he looked at her through his hair. "I'm even more excited now that I know you weren't in drag." "Are you saying you followed me here? Creepy." Echoe grabbed the object on the back of her belt again. "I'm not sure it was such a great idea however. This IS the Midnight Hangman after all, captained by the infamous Dusk Rose." The man looked down his nose a little as he grinned cheesy. "Whoooooo? I've never heard these names." He took a step forward, completly closing the distance between them. He grabbed her wrist as she brought the blade out of its sheath and pushed her hand away. Slouching down to her level he continued to grin as he bit at his rather unusual looking lipring. "That aside, I think you deserve better than being just some lowly 'mopboy'. Wouldn't you like pretty, shiny treasure instead of vile, rancid water for the rest of your life? Y'know, like a princess? I know you do... so leave with me." Echoe glared at him over her glasses. "You are the worst trash the captain and Mr. Norrington have picked up so far. What instrument did your pansy-ass supposedly play? Harp? No, you prolly just hit a stick against a piece of metal every 10 beats. I won't desert the captain just because some gender bent giant asked me to." He whistled, amused. "Temper, temper. Well, no matter. From now on, you get to call me Captain Miyavi-sama, ok? <3" He knocked the blade out of her hand and swung her around, hoisting her up by the waist and pinning her arms to her sides, quickly exiting as she kicked her feet behind her and cursed loudly Die had just come back to apologize when Miyavi burst out of the room carrying the suddenly noisy Echoe. He reacted instantly and raised his lute to smash over Miyavis head when the matal of a gun touched the end of his nose. He stopped cold, following the gun up the arm to Miyavis face, which had an insane grin plastered on it. "I wouldn't dooo thaaaat." Miyavi smiled wider as Die eyed the gun at his nose again. "Dammit Die! Grow a pair!" Echoe yelled angrily as Miyavi backstepped quickly to the side of the ship and leapt onto the railing, glancing over the side for a second with that cheesy grin.

Norrington leaned with his back on the door. Today was not exactly going in his favor. Not only had his old fiancé' shown up but she'd been humiliated in front of the larger part of the crew before his eyes. Could things really get any worse? Wait, best not to think that on board this ship. He slumped down and sat blocking his door.
Fabien stopped moving beneath the covers of the bed as he heard the door close, and the sound of someone slumping to the ground.
'Fabien, I think someone’s in the room with us.' Henrietta whispered to him, sounding scared.
'Shhhh my sweet, no harm will come to you with me here. And I think Erik is around somewhere as well.' He caressed her face as he talked. Silly little creature, nothing will ever harm you whilst I'm here. At least we should be able to escape from that fool Aramis here.
Norrington looked puzzled, was that voices he'd just heard? Impossible. "What are you doing in our room?" Norrington jumped to his feet. "Our?" His jaw dropped just a little. He eyed the strangely over dressed creature before him. How could one man wear so much brocade? He tried to see his eyes beneath his mess of gold curls.
Fabien brought his head out from beneath the cover, licking a stray drop of blood from his lips. 'Please, can you be quiet? We're busy here.' Some people just have no manners, breaking into someone’s room and claiming it to be their own. 'Erik, can you get rid of this fool please. I'm a little, occupied, at the moment.' Norrington glanced in the direction of -his- bed with disgust. What on earth? This had to be Dusk's fault. Erik reached up and stroked Norrington's cheek playfully. "Now, I know you heard me." He smiled. "Get out of my cabin before I have to get rough with you." He winked. "I'm afraid you're mistaken, this is -my- cabin!." "Oh, I'm sorry." Erik grabbed Norrington's arms, pinning him, and began to drag him from the room. He's strong! Norrington struggled against him but despite his effeminate appearance his grip was iron.
My thanks Erik. Remind me next time we reach land I owe you a present. You can even choose this time.' He turned his attention back to the bed and Henrietta. It would just be ungentlemanly not to entertain such a beautiful lady. 'Oh, and if you need any help, just call.' And pay the price for disturbing us again.
The door slammed in Norrington's face and he stood there in bewilderment a moment before running toward the front of the ship wildly. He stopped, slightly out of breath and looking slightly manic, in front of Aramis.
'Norri! I was just heading down to my cabin. Need to get it ready for our guests, want to help?' Aramis smiled happily at the crazed Norrington. 'And why are you standing outside your cabin? Annoyed Dusk have we?'
"GUESTS?! Do -not- tell me -you- invited them here Mr. Nemo!"
'Well no, little James came with the rabbit, and the eunuch followed.' Aramis looked at Norrington in confusion. Hadn't he been on deck when they had arrived? 'Are you feeling alright there Norrington? You look a little strange. Want some rum?'
"Ah yes that would be- no NO! Your... thing... there's..." He took a deep breath. "There are vampires in my cabin."
'Are you sure that you're not just imagining things? The only vampires for miles around here are you, me and Dusk. Oh, and those two from the ball, but they're all the way back in Port Royale.' Poor delusional Norri he thought to himself. This is going to crush Dusk when she finds out he's gone crazier than a peacock
"No I'm serious! Go! Look! They seem odd enough to be relatives or something of the like." He struggled to keep any sort of composure.
'Alright Norri, take a few deep breathes, and I'll go have a look for you.' Sometimes it was just easier to indulge crazy people. Less chance of violence that way. Slowly he opened the door, sighing, and was faced with the pretty blond vampire from the ball.
'Oh, hello there, my name's Aramis, pleased to meet you.' He smiled and stretched out his hand to the vampire he had glimpsed earlier that night. 'Is Fabien here too?'
"A pleasure monsieur." He shook his hand, smiling a little. His head cocked to the side, examining this new vampire. "Monsieur Fabien is currently...indisposed; however, he is here."
'Fabien my boy!' He pushed past the well dressed vampire into the room. 'Where you hiding? And what's that sound?' He looked around puzzled. Did he just hear a sharp intake of breathe from the bed, or was he imagining things again?
Oh dear God Fabien thought, placing his hand over Henrietta's mouth. Why? How? He shouldn't be here!
"Fabien my boy, we have a guest..." He said through his thick French accent and leaned on the wall with an expression of casual interest.
Norrington stood outside his own door looking rather lost.
Aramis walked over to the bed, and looked under the cover, earning a slap from a red faced Henrietta, followed by another slap from Fabien.
'Ah, I see that you're busy. Nice to see you both though. Er, I think that I'll leave you alone. Unless of course you would like any help from your dear cousin?' He giggled nervously, and slowly backed away from the bed. Eww, there's just some things that shouldn't be done between siblings. I know that the family motto was 'keep it in the family', but this?

Kyo was in the process of secretly writing a song instead of studying when he heard a noise. He quickly tucked his song inside of his usual "War and Peace" sized volumes and looked around. This time he was sure it was crying. He looked around the room for a while when finally he spied a blanket half fallen off of a chair quivering. He lifted it up and saw an adorable little girl. He blushed and put the blanket back down.
“DON'T YOU EVER CLEAN?!” "Eurgh, my allergies." bou pulls a handkerchief from her blouse and wipes her eyes. "well, aren't you going to help me up?'
"Oh... right.." He leaned down and took her hand and helped her up. She had the tiniest hands he'd ever seen. He looked away, scratching the back of his head shyly. "Er...who are you?"
"you mean you don't know? well..." a smug grin crosses bou's face "i'm princess bou!" "and who are you?" as she covers her mouth with her hand she whispers "or what..."
Kyo looks a little suspicious. A princess on a pirate ship? "I'm sorry your...highness." He looked at her curiously. "I'm Kyo." He extended his hand expectantly.
bou shoves her handkerchief into kyo's outstretched hand and flops into a chair. "i see. so, what is this place... and where is your maid?"
"Kyo doesn't have a maid, but the position is open." He looked at the handkerchief in disgust and threw it onto his desk. "This is the infamous Midnight Hangman. Don't you know it princess?" Kyo stared at her with his oddly colored eyes, wondering how she'd managed to sneak onto the Hangman with out even noticing.
"hmm, it rings a bell. maybe my father mentioned it." bou peers past kyo to the the corner of the room. "say, he used to have paintings just like those, they must be awfully expensive." she shrugs it off as a coincidence and continues. "what do you do, anyway?" glancing over at the blanket she mumbles to herself. "that looks EXACTLY like the blanket i sleep under..."
"I'm a..um..er..." He grins smugly at his cunningness. "A wealthy merchant." As soon as he said it out loud however, the power of his words seemed to wane a little. He cleared his throat in the silence, wondering if a wealthy merchant really would impress a princess. Wait, why was he trying to impress her anyway? He glared a little and sat down by his desk.

Meanwhile, Tod and Red stood on the main deck of the ship, but upon realising the others were busy, Tod dragged Red over to the helm, rather than take him to bed straight away. "There's something I want to show you," she whispered, taking hold of his hand.
Of course, they had missed the drama with Echoe thus far...
Miyavi looked back at Die, still grinning. "Don't worry, your girl will be much safer on my ship. A girl shouldn't have to save herself all the time. A real man..." He chuckled at Die's angry face. "Wouldn't piss his pants whenever things got a little exciting." Echoe yelled, frustrated. "Die! I'm gonna kill you when this is over if you don't DO something!"
Die looked a little frightened at the thought of being killed at all. Especially by her. He readied his lute like a club "P-put her down, or I'll kill you." No power behind those words. Miyavi grinned, impossibly cheesier than before. "Well, that just changes everything. I'll do as you wish. .." and promptly dropped Echoe over the side of the ship.
"Hey, what's that?" Red asked, glancing over the side. "Probably nothing." Tod sighed, staring up at the sky. "So Red..." Glancing around, she made sure she was alone, "we should talk." "So... talk."
Before Tod could continue, they were interrupted by the sound of a person falling into a dingy.
"ECHOE!" Die ran and looked over the railing. "I hope you don't think I just dropped her into the ocean." Miyavi asked, smiling smugly. Echoe cursed loudly as someone caught her but was quickly silenced by a hand over her mouth. Someone nearby spoke up "Back up Saro, captain is next." Die furiously swung at Miyavi, but was easily avoided with a side step.
"A bit late to be angry now, doncha think?" Miyavi bowed slightly. "It's been fun, but I really must get back to my own ship. See ya, funny man." He jumped out of the way of another swing, laughing as he stepped back over the side of the ship.
Hearing the cry, Tod frowned as she leaned down and saw what was happening. "Get the captain," she told Red urgently, her words serious and commanding. Red obeyed without hesitation or question, while Tod pulled out a pistol, "Oi, ye down thar," she called, "We 'ave ye surrounded! Surrender or we'll open fire!"
Miyavi landed in the arms of one of the other members and looked up at Tod, smiling "Sorry, man. I'm just gonna borrow your mop person for a little while." He snapped his fingers and the remaining crew pulled a rope out of the water and started pulling it, heading the opposite direction of the Midnight Hangman. Echoe struggled furiously, trying to kick any of the members she could.

Running over to Dusk, Red threw his arms around her neck in a flying tackle-hug. "Mother!" he cried out, "they've taken one of your girls! She had a mop, I think."
"Wh-What is it Red?" She blinked, half surprised she hadn't lost her balance. "Who?...ah Echoe!" "Who took her?"
"Don't know!" Red clung harder to her, "How could you let this happen, Mother?" he half-demanded, half gulped, "right under your nose! I thought you were a vicious pirate captain!" Quite igoring the fact he was hugging her and calling her 'mother', of course, but then, she wasn't vicious to him; she hadn't made him scrub the deck again, not since that first time when...
Dusk sighed. How was it she managed to get into nearly twice as much trouble as the rest of the crew combined. "Well, can you at least tell me which direction they were heading?" She said, stroking his hair and looking down at him calmly.
Taking her hand, much like a small child would, he simply tugged on it, as if to say 'come on' and practically ran over to the side of the ship were Echoe had been thrown overboard. He was still too in shock to actually answer her properly, but from the way he squeezed her hand, she could tell he was terrified; if someone could steal one of her crew from right under her nose, someone could steal him from her - or worse: sneak aboard and hurt her.
She glanced over at the retreating ship. Was that... rainbow colored sails? She shook her head and rubbed her temples in the manner of a tired kindergarden teacher with a migrane. "Hands come about! We're going after that ship! Norri? Norri?! Where is that man." She hurried to the helm.
"Mother!" Red tugged at her coat, feeling ignored, again, much like a toddler would, "What do you want me to do?" He was standing beside her at the helm, looking lost and helpless.
She thinks a moment. "Maybe you can start by hunting down that Norrington." She snapped at a couple of sailors casually going about preparing the sails and turned to him again. "Where's Tod gotten to?"
"O'er 'ere cap't," Tod called from the side, aiming her pistol and looking for all the world as if she were about to open fire. She had already ordered a couple of crewmen to prepare the cannons... Unlike Red, she seemed to know what she was doing.
She nodded approvingly to Tod, then, noticed Norrington standing just beyond her.
OI! Norri what do you think you're doing just standing there?" He straightened his hat and ran over to her. "And?" "You're not going to believe this Cap-" "I'm sure I won't, now we're going after that ship." "A ship..?" "Yes, that ship." She nodded toward a hidiously colorful ship on the horizon. "Ah."
Spying Norri, Red tugged on Dusk's sleeve again, "What now Mother?"
"Well two options, you can go find that red haired character and get him to assist us in our rescue or whatever you might call it, or you could help keep the crew on task."
"That who? Who's the red haired character?"
"I don't know, that slow chap with the lute who always follows Echoe around."
"I don't know him..." Red stared at the ground, "Can't I stand beside you and help with the helm?"
Her eyes softened. "Alright." She looked up at Norrington who nodded and walked to the other end of the ship to help command the crew. They weren't gaining on the colorful ship very quickly, it seemed to have the wind's favor.
Tod was not amused, "Norri!" she yelled, spying him, barely biting back a 'ye worthless bilge rat' comment, "Get ye over 'ere! Ye think we'll be in range ta take out their mast?" She patted the cannon with a gleeful grin of sheer wickedness. "Or ta rudder?"
He glanced at the ship, he could see Echoe on the deck with his vampire eyes and shook his head. "I don't want to risk firing upon them lest Echoe still be on deck. We will do our best to get near enough to board."
"Whut?" Tod seemed outraged, "they'll slip away if we don't slow them down! One shot, s'all!" She sighed, looking at Echoe, "Maybe yer right..."
"If she dies..." He risked a half smile. "The Captain'll have your rum rations for life."
"Well, let's shoot their rudder then." Tod spoke in surprisingly clear English for once, not caring about the threat of the rum rations; her only desire to get her crew mate back.
"Captain the rudder?" Dusk nodded, not bothering to yell across the distance. "The rudder it is then. Are you a worthy shot?"
Tod looked around, "Who's willing ta take the shot?" Then she looked up Norri, a wicked light in her eyes, "It be yer rations if ye miss, Admirrral."
A vein showed in his forehead. "I'll have you know I'm no 'powder monkey'."
"Go fer it, milaaawrd."
'Go for' throwing you overboard? Why thank you. He grabbed the nearest cannon and aimed, using a little old experience and a little vampire instinct to send a shot through the rudder.
"Good shot," Tod congratulated him, resisting the urge to give him a boot up the backside.

"oh," replies bou, rather oblivious. "you should be careful, i've heard tales of pirates around here. captain... dust bones... yes that's it."
Kyo looked at her confused a moment before he burst out laughing, hitting his hand on his cluttered desk and sending papers flying.
"cripes!" bou squeaks, diving behind the chair. "that's just what he needs, more mess..." she mumbles
"M'sorry." He sat up straight, trying to sober up a bit but kept giggling goofily every now and again.
bou peeked out at kyo, rather shocked and confused at him taking the news of pirates so lightly. "y...you don't seem at all bothered... um... sir..."
He laughed a little more. "It's because I'm so brave a sailor." He smiled, pulling the knife from his boot a little.
"o... oh, very good." she said edging slowly toward the door
"-I wouldn't go out there." He suddenly looked very nervous. "The er... Captain might think I was neglecting in my duties...he might...um she might...worry that..........you're a pirate?"
a look of absolute horror crosses bou's face and she storms toward kyo. "me?! a pirate?! i'm a princess!" she stops suddenly. "wait, captain? you're a wealthy merchant and this isn't your boat?"
"Eh heh...well..." He looks around, anywhere but her eyes. "You see...a...clever merchant hires a clever seafarer to command his vessel."
"hmm..." after pondering for a moment she agrees.
"you know, a clever merchant would hire a maid." she mutters under her breath.
He leaned over the side of his chair with a leg over the side casually. "What I really need, is a maid...now if only I knew someone up for the job..."
"Especially someone cute and little and looking to stay on board a ship for a little adventure."
"you can't be serious! i told you i'm a..." at that moment bou suddenly clicks and wanders over to a window, wiping off a layer of grime. "eurgh, i think that was breathing." she tip toes up to the window and looks out, seeing nothing but water. "oh, fancy that." she attempts to keep her composure, as a princess should, but inevitably collapses in a heap on the floor
Kyo can't help himself and rushes over to see if she's ok. "Oi, what is it?" He turns her over.
"i think i'm in the wrong house." she mumbles
Kyo frowned. "...Kyo is sorry." He sat beside her wondering what to do. How could he ask the Captain to turn back to port for a stowaway? Even if she did claim to be royalty... and from the sound of it there was some sort of commotion on deck.
"i could use a glass of water..." she spots a glass of mysterious liquid on the desk, "nevermind." bou can't help but notice kyo is rather distracted by a ruckus coming from outside the door. "what is that? don't you know how to keep your hired help in line?"
"Um..it's casual Tuesday." He took the liquid away and quickly tucked the bottle away. "If you promise to wait here very quietly..and don't open the door for anyone but me...I'll go get you some water alright?
bou sighs and nods. "very well."
"Alright just...stay there." He patted her on the head, then felt rather bad to put his grubby mitts on her lovely hair and hurried outside, dodging busy crew members who occasionally stopped to stare or screamed since they'd never seen him before. Ah, here we go. He got a nice glass of water from the galley.
feeling slighty more than anxious, bou pops her head around the door, spotting a rather suspicious character. "KYO! there's a pirate on your boat!" she screams. "i know ballet! that's pretty much fighting right? right!" she leaps onto the persons back, covering their eyes. "quick! get 'em!"
Kyo emerged from below decks with a look of horror. He carefully sat the glass of water down and hurried over to them. "So sorry about that Pete..." " S'all right mate." Kyo pealed Bou from Pete's head and Pete gave him a wink, which Kyo answered witha half glare.
"put me down!" bou shouts, still swinging. "what's going on here?"
Kyo laughed half heartedly. "Don't you know a sailor from a pirate little girl?" He sat her down on the deck, pleased to have someone around shorter than him apart from Theodore the midget.
"huh? wha?" fiesty and a tad excited, bou spins to face kyo. "oh," she says, straightening her clothes and fixing her hair. "maybe he should err... be a little more um... careful."
Kyo laughed for real this time, revealing crazy teeth. "I'll tell him to wash up tonight, maybe then he won't scare your highness so much." A crew member nearly knocked him over running passed, whipping ropes everywhere. "Ah, there is the captain." He nodded toward Dusk at the helm. "Looks like we're uh... going to ... be performing some aggressive negotiations and price haggling."
despite being a little confused by the statement, bou decides it's best not to question an experienced merchant. "well then, lets see how you can afford such grand furnishings."
"Uh no no, trade secret I'm afraid. You'll have to wait in my quarters." He pushed her along toward his quarters, hoping that there would be no pistols fired, swords drawn or keelhauling before he could get her back inside.
"what? hey!" struggling to keep her balance as she's pushed accross the deck, bou trips through the door and lands on the floor in kyo's room. "that's no way to treat a princess! what are you? some kind of... bad... boat... guy?!"
"Sorry 'bout that." He helps her up. "Just don't want you getting........" He didn't want to just say 'hurt' she might get more scared than she already was. He sighed, oh the water! "One moment, Kyo will be back in a moment." He hurried out the door, oh no, the water had been tipped over by a crew hand! He quickly ran back to the galley to grab some more and hurried back toward his quarters.
bou snatched the water and sulked into the room mumbling to herself "the nerve of this guy...no way to treat a princess... doesn't even know how to dust..." she slams the door behind her making a terrible cracking sound causing to her flee under the blanket.

Die watched them speed away to the other ship, seething in anger and humiliation.
They made it back to the ship and two more members hauled the boat up and onto the deck quickly. Miyavi hopped out and gazed up at the sails, laughing. "Yorke! When the hell did you do that?" One of the men helping haul the struggling Echoe out of the dingy looked up "While you were at the ball, Myv." Miyavi jumped into "Its totally awesome!" As soon as he landed the boat quaked as the rudder was blown up. "What the- Teddy! What happened?" A very young man ran to the edge of the ship "They hit us!" "Myv! I can't steer!" Another man yelled. "I told you, Hanger! You turn that huge wheel-" Teddy yelled. "No, they killed our rudder!" "They what?! That's so damn rude..." Echoe couldn't help but wonder why the hell he was still grinning like a fool. Was it all just a game to him...? "Oh well, we'll just run like hell then. Saro, Yorke! Take our guest to my quarters. Tyko, please make sure she gets some food and water. Everyone else, let's go make faces at the other ship!" Everyone gladly followed Miyavi's orders, Saro and Yorke handing Echoe off to Tyko so they could go join the fun. Echoe wasn't sure what to do, and ahe was handed off to someone who looked like he could crumple her up into a ball with no problems. Thus the shock that came with hearing him laugh heartily and slap her on the back "Don't worry, we're not gonna kill ya. Myv will explain everything when he's done being a spazz." Echoe blinked in surprise, unsure how to respond. "...Explain everything?" "Yeah. Come inside while they handle this. It'll be safer. I hope you don't mind the bread being a little stale." Miyavi was yelling random nonsense in japanese and making his face do wierd things at the other boat.
