Aramis skulked somewhere in the bowels of the ship, trying to avoid whatever was happening up on deck. Everything was just so, dramatic, at the moment. There had been the whole thing between Tod and Erik, everyone on the ship had probably heard that one. Some people should really learn how to keep their voices under control. Then there was the somewhat pathetic capturing of that boat – they just let anyone captain a ship these days, like that bloody English brat. Not to say anything about that bloody Elizabeth...
Reaching out, he grabbed a poor rat that strayed a little too close, and drained it quickly before throwing it over own shoulder where it landing in an empty barrel. 'What?! Haven't you ever seen a man eat a rat before?' He turned to face the grubby looking Mr Bubbles, his only companion down in the depths of the ship. 'Don't dismiss it until you at least try it Mr Bubbles. That's just not gentlemanly. Now, I believe it's your turn Mr B.' He stood up and headed over to the badly painted barrel lid that he'd propped up against the hull, and pulled out the razor-sharp pieces of bread crust that were embedded in the wine-logged wood. Walking back over to the stuffed rabbit, he placed them into it's lifeless paws and waited.
'You know, you really aren't very good company for playing games with.'
Silence
'Having no hands to move is just an excuse. Even a drunk badger would do better than you.'
Silence
'Fine, I'll have another turn. You're never going to win though if you keep forfeiting your turn.' Sighing, he picked up crust pieces, and expertly threw them at the makeshift target. 'I make that 23 points Mr B.'
Silence
'What do you mean I can't count? I have more fingers than you, see!' He held up his fingers, wiggling them in front of the stuffed animal. Sitting back down, he rummaged in a pocket, pulling out his trusty waterskin and took small swig, savouring the taste. So much more peaceful down here he thought, leaning just a little too far back and falling off his crate. Lying on back, Aramis let his mind wander back over the events of the past week...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He hid in the shadows, watching as the deck cleared. As Dusk walked past on her way to her cabin, he reached out and pulled her under the stairs with him.
'What have you done Dusk?' he hissed in her ear. 'Do you know what that thing is?'
'Let go of me!' Dusk smacked his hand away and straightened her hat. 'Aramis, I hope you haven't forgotten your place. I am the captain on this ship.'
'I haven't forgotten Dusk. But you should never have let that on the ship.'
'But we need her to find The Flying Dutchman.'
'If you're willing to bring that on board, then you must have a good reason for wanting to find that damned ship.'
'What do you have against her Aramis? You don't even know her!'
'And neither do you. It's not, human, although it is familiar from somewhere...' He knitted his brow, trying to remember where he's come across something similar before.
'And neither are we Aramis. We're vampires, not human...'
'And that you can handle. It isn't like us though, and you can't command it, or control it. It will do as it pleases Dusk, and all you'll be able to do is sitting by and watch. If anything happens to this ship or the crew, I will hold you accountable, debt or no.'
'But... she could help us find Viktor...'
'Let him rest Dusk.' With that, he pushed past her, heading back to his cabin, dragging the poor Mr Bubbles behind him...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Picking himself up from the ground, he planted himself back on the crate next to Mr Bubbles. He hadn't talked to Dusk since then, and he was sure she was avoiding him. Not that it worried him, he had more important things on his mind. Such as that damned Capri...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He moved around his precious galley, reclaimed at last from the hands of Cleaver and Big Gun. He hated when people decided to rearrange his things when he wasn't looking. It was going to take him ages to get everything back to how it should be.
'Oh for the love of... Who put the seagull jerky over there?! It shouldn't be with the spices, and the spices are meant to be next to the biscuits.' He muttered to himself as he put his kitchen back in order. Behind him, he heard someone enter his domain. 'Out! There's no food at the moment. If you want to blame someone, go talk to those idiots that took over during my absence.'
'Why do you think I am here for food?' he turned at the sound of the voice. Standing at the other end of the galley was that damned, thing, that Dusk had allowed on board.
'You, are not welcome in here. Leave, now, or face the consequences.'
'Do you think I should be afraid of a mere mortal such as you? Does the face of death scare you?'
'Oh please, you're not death. And I'm not a mortal per se.' He smiled at her, and then pointed at the door. 'Out, now.'
'Do you know who I am?'
'You claim to the child of that ingrate Calypso and Jones. And something about being death, which I find highly unlikely. One; if you are, as you claim, their daughter then you are still only half divine. And if I remember correctly, that doesn't make you a god. Two; Jones was nothing more than a glorified ferry-man. Three; Mr Bubbles thinks your hair needs a comb, and I would have to agree with him on that point.'
'You would mock a god? Insolent retch!'
'No, I would mock someone who lays claim to godhood, and has a name that makes me think of bad wine and even worse singing. Have you ever been to the Isle of Capri? They such a beautiful grotto there. The water is enchanting. Unlike yourself.'
'Is this how you treat your betters? By insulting them? Why should I let you live?'
'Because my boar, a well placed shot to the heart would probably not do you much good. You do know your name means boar right?' He cocked his head to one side and looked at her. 'Not that it matters. You don't scare me my dear. I have seen worse, and played tennis with shrimp that had a better claim to divinity than you.'
'You...!'
'Oh, and your “father” made a bad ferryman for the dead. He lacked the business acumen of Charon - who in their right mind would go for 100 years of servitude instead of 2 gold pieces? Although admittedly, he did have better dress sense. Now, as I said, out.' He turned away from her, waiting for Capri to leave him in peace...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Hmm, what's that Mr Bubbles?' Aramis turned to face the dead glassy stare of the rabbit. 'I guess you're right.' Sighing, he bent down and picked it up. 'Come, let us go and find James, I'm sure that he'll be missing you.' And I'm sure that bloody woman will just love seeing me again. He walked through the ship, heading back to his cabin and it's somewhat unwelcome inhabitants.

Feeling his kiss on her forehead, and his murmur in her ear, Tod mumbled in her sleep, and rolled over. The cover touched her neck and she sighed, sprawling until comfortable. When she opened her eyes, Red was gone, and she was left with hunger pangs. Without truly realising, her body began to move, almost of its own accord, even as she dreamed. For some reason, her mind's eye was displaying a tiger prowling through the jungle, stalking in the underbrush... and then, pouncing. Claws raked Die's back, dragging him to the ground with a loud thud. The pair hit the deck, both pantless, with Tod on top, her mouth seeking his neck, much as a tiger a gazelle's, Die struggled drunkenly "YAAARGH!! First ya take muh pants, now ya take mah virginity?! I was savin' mahself for dear Echoe!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Echoe: *sneezes, scaring the crap out of the doctor tending to her and Fluffy beside her.* Fluffy: Hisss *the heck was that?* *looks to see if echoes alright* Randomman: the heck was that!? Big Gun: Its okay *gets a cloth to clean echoes nose.* Big Gun: its just a sneeze *Randomman and Fluffy look all interested.* Randomman: OOOOOoooooOOOO Fluffy: Hisssssss Ginko: *sweatdrop* ....... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tod's eyes snapped awake, and she stared, then glared down at Die. Slapping him upside the head on sheer impulse (or was that instinct?), she growled, "What be ye talkin' about, boy?" Pushing herself to her feet, she pushed Die to the deck once more, firmly planting his nose in the rum-soaked planking. "Waaaah! I di'n' noo aneeting do yuuu!" Die struggled to get out of her grip but failed do to being way too sloshed and Tods new super-strength. "My nyoose!!" "Oh quit yer yapping; I didn't hurt ye." Tod sighed and hauled him to his feet by his shoulder. Inspecting him, she eyed him up and down and once satisfied he was in one piece - more or less, dusted off her shirt. "Now boy, what be this yer sayin' 'bout me tryin' ta rape ye?" Die looked at her with his keel-hauled puppy expression. "Ya took muh pants 'n when ah try n get 'em back, yur on top o me wi' no pants yerself..." Realizing this is in fact true, his eyes wander down and stop at her shirt. Dumb gaping drunk. "I... oy, quit yer staring." Tod flushed crimson, turning away. "I was... dreamin'." "Musta been soome dream if it involved meh..." Staaaaaare. "Uh, it didn't." She paused, then glanced around, then scowled, "Why ain't ye in pants anyway?" It took alot of effort to tear his eyes away from her chest. "Er, doncha remembuh? Ya went n turned them inta a flag!" He pointed up at his pants, flapping lazily in the wind. "And why ain't YOU in pants, ladeh?" He looked further down this time. Slapping him smartly across the mouth, she struck a pose and demanded, "Didn't ye mother ever teach ye it be rude ta stare at a lass?" Folding her arms (and covering herself neatly), she fixed him with a look that suggested he'd best not be starin' any more... "Ouch!" Die placed a hand over the place she'd struck. "Tch, didn't YO mama ever teach ya not ta walk around half-nekkid? It ain't my fault yer fashion choices'r so..." he chanced a quick glance. "Revealing." Grabbing him by the throat, she leaned in and hissed, "Shut yer yap boy," pushing him against the side of the ship, she leant in, "I told ye, I was dreaming; I be havin' a bad day... an' ye stares aren't puttin' me at ease, savvy?" Die held his hands up defensivly and looked straight up at the... pants. "Savveh, savveh..." Releasing him, Tod tried not to glare, and finally sighed, "Look, I know it be odd, me bein' a lass 'n all, an' I don't mean ta be mean... " She glanced guilty at his pants, "an' if ye want, I'll 'ave yer pants brought down fer ye... but..." she fixed him with a look, "ye no be starin' anymore, savvy?" "Savveh deal, ma'am." Die waited patiently. ".. . Don't kill me?" "Why'd I kill ye?" Drawing back, Tod scratched her head in a very puzzelled manner, "Ye may be a leech, an' a lil' boy, but yer still a mate. An'," she emphasised, "a good drinkin' mate athat. So... why ye think I'd be wantin' ta kill ye?" Die rubbed his throat. Damn she's strong. "Cuz yur freakin' strong as hell and always look ready ta kill somethin?" "Oh." Feeling sheepish, Tod studied her bare feet, "I didn't mean ta hurt ye... an' I... it's been a rough couple o' days..." "Ah know whutcha mean... I hope my love didn' git eaten by that creepy pirate that took 'er..." Lame expression. "Huh?" "Echoe. Didn'cha hear? She been kidnapped! Ain't nothin' ah could do ta stop 'im... I'm such a wretched, wretched--" "Oh..." Tod sighed, then pulled him into a sisterly hug. Holding him tightly, she rubbed his shoulder and whispered, "Shh, it'll be all right, eventually. You'll see." She didn't seem to be aware she was clad in just a shirt and loincloth anymore. Die was on the verge of drunken tears. "Thank you..." Die remembered suddenly that they were both half-naked and the blood rushed to his face. "Erk." ((The Quest for Pants continues!))

*Capri with a fist full of rage. starts heading after Aramis.* Capri: Your dead. mortal! *She runs into a corner and knocks into red.* Capri: red.. *she helps him to his feet.* *Red stares up at Capri and blinks* *Red gapes for a moment, and finally says* "Is... is everything all right?" *Clearly something is not right for him* *Capri looks into his very soul.* Capri: .... *she gives him a hug.* *Red hugs back* "Something's wrong with Tod." *sighs* "can you fix it?" Capri: struggle is the only way for survival... Red: "You know that's not what I mean. I don't know what's wrong with her, but there's something that isn't right." *Capri tries avoid Reds eyes. But she fails and is captured in his eyes.* Capri mutters: those eyes... *Capri sighs.* Capri: Mothers going to kill me... *Red alarmed* "Wha? Why?" *Capri pats Red on the head.* Capri: Out of love. *She smiles.* Red: "Oh." *hangs head* "I... I'm really worried about her." *clings to Capri suddenly and presses his face to her shoulder, trying not to cry* "I've never... she feels so cold, but not in a way... it doesn't feel right, somehow. She's warm enough, but there's something wrong about her." Capri:.... *She holds out her hand to Red.* Capri: Want to come along with me. *Her heart pulses.* Capri: ! *She ignores the pain.* Capri to herself: Mother. what is this feeling? *Red takes Capri's hand, smiles and looks up at her with large trusting eyes that makes an anime-character look like a n00b*
*Capri smiles and takes Reds hand.* Capri:Lets go. Red. *The storm rages harder* *Red looks up* "Wasn't it sunny?" *Capri holds onto Reds hand.* Capri to self: MOTHER! TT *Red tilts head* "What's wrong? You said I have a girlfriend, so why would your mother object? We're just friends, aren't we?" Capri to self: He can read my thoughts! what magic is this? Capri: Mother is very protective me. *She sighs.*
(funny thing is, if Red became a vampire, mind reading would be his powah :-O)
Red: "Oh. Well, like you said, I've a girlfriend, so..." *smiles shyly and tilts head* "but you're nice to me. It's like having an older sister, I guess. The way you look out for me and know so much; you're so wise." Capri: No thats not true.. *Capri blushes a shade of blue on her face.* Red: "You are wise though." *looks up with adoring eyes* "You know so much, an'." *falls quiet, shyly* "you're nice to me. You're the only friend I have here, 'side from Tod. Mother doesn't count, 'cause she's mother... ...and Tod's always so busy, and she's been strange these past couple of days, so... I've had no one to talk to." *stares over the rail miserably* "I just feel like I'm getting in everyone's way and I'm just a nuisance." (and that's because you /are/a nuisance, Red.)
Capri: .... *she hits him on the head.* Red: "Ow!" Red: "wha' was that for?" Capri: You were acting like a mortal... Red: "I thought you said I am a mortal?" Capri: ... Come. Your girlfriend awaits us. Red. Red: *shakes head* "Not yet. You've not told me what's wrong with her yet." *swallows* "You know, don't you?" Capri: Shes changed into a vampire. *She looks into his soul.* Capri: She lost a lot of blood before she crossed over. Your mother saved her life. Red: *stares* "...?" Capri to self: Was I being to blunt? Red: "What's that?" *looks confused, not knowing what she means* "You're talking about a monster from a story." Capri: There not monsters.... Red: "...Are you trying to tell me they're real?" *tilts head* "I... suppose... it shouldn't surprise me, if you're death 'n all... but... really?" *big wide eyes* "are walking, talking furry apes real too? An'..." Capri to self: furry apes? you mean mortals? Red: "Huh? No; these live high up in the mountains, in the East, apparently..." *looks down* "I'm not that hairy..." *Capri hits Red on the head.* Capri: Stop that. Red: "See, you really are like a big sister! That's the third time you've smacked me! Ow..." *rubs head* "Don't be mean!" *sniffs* "You should kiss it better." *nods firmly* Capri: ...... *she hits Red on the head again* Red *makes a face* "You're being mean." *Red makes a beaten and abused puppy look like the most beloved pet* Capri: ..... *she picks him with one of her tentacle hairs and brings him to her face.* Capri:.... *she kisses him.* *Red smiles shyly, blushes,* "You were telling me about vampires... so they're real?" *Capri lets Red down to the floor gently.* Capri: Yes. *Red hugs her, feeling cold; sudden chills running up and down. Swallows* "...Who...?" Capri: Dusk, Norii, Aramis, Erick and his two pals. and now Tod.
Red: *stares* "Mother...?" Capri: Yes. Because of her. Tod is still alive. Red: "But... ...why wouldn't - why didn't she tell me... ...and why was... who would hurt Tod...?" Capri: She was afraid you would hate her. If you found out. Red: *quietly* "She's mother... I could never hate her... ...any more than I could ever hate Tod." *stares* "You knew..." Capri: Yes. Captain Dusk Rose has been very close to me for quit some time. I hope she lives a long life... *She smiles* Capri: Shes someone I admire the most in this world. Red: "But..." *finally dawning on him* "vampires live forever... in the stories, so... doesn't that mean... Tod isn't- she'll... outlive me, but... also... you won't be able to take her soul? Doesn't... that make your mother mad?" Capri: No. Is liveing such a bad thing. Red: "...Are they really living?" *stares up at Capri* "Can you help her?" Carpi: Only if she wants to. Red: "But you can help her ?" Capri: Only if she wants to. Red: "..." Capri: You hate me dont you. Red *blinks* "No, of course not." *hugs her tightly* "Why would I?" Red *quietly* "You're my friend..." *A single tear drop falls from Capri eye. It becomes a pearl and hits the floor.* Capri: A tear? *she watches the pearl on the floor.* Capri: So thats what they look like. *Red picks it up and studies it* "It's beautiful." *whispers* Capri: ? Capri: Is this so odd? Red: *nods* "When I cry, my tears are water." Capri: oh i see. ..... *She hits him on the head.* Red: "ow! What was that for?" Capri: I want to see it...
*she hits him on the head again.*
Red *blinking back tears* "OW! Stop that! You're being mean!" *pouts and pulls a face that would make just about anyone cry* Red: "Don't be nasty =(" Capri: hmmm *she steals a tear from Red. She licks it.* Capri smiles: its tastes like seawater. *Red starts crying for real* Capri: Thats too much. *She takes out a handkerchief and cleans him up.* *Red sniffs* Red: "Why are you being mean?" Capri: Sorry. I’ve seen anybody cry before. I got a little carried away.. Red: "I thought we were friends... T_T" Capri: I'm sorry. *She gives Red a hug.*
*Red cries. The news Tod, Dusk and everyone he cares about is a vampire, or some other weird entity is a lot to take in and Capri's hitting him sends him over the edge* Capri: .....Would you like to see a a kraken spawn.
*Red dries his eyes* "...Okay..." *looks down, wanting to be held again.* "We... are friends... aren't we?" Capri: Yes. *She gives Red a hug.* Red: "So... vampires... what're they like?" *looks over the side to see the kraken spawn* Carpi: They like blood and the night. Red: "So... they don't like daytime? But Tod loves the sunshine... =(" Capri: Some vampires can stay out in the light. and others can’t. Red: "What about this liking of blood? What does that mean?"
Red: "They don't really drink blood, do they?" Capri: Vampires need blood sometimes. some more then others. Red: "That sounds icky." *tilts head* "d'you... could you... Tod... wouldn't want to drink blood... couldn't you... you know..." *waves hand* "make it so she doesn't have to?" Capri: ......she would need a substitute for the blood.. Red: "why not food?" *tilts head* "y'know, like she used to eat... like a mortal. Can you make her mortal?" Capri: No.*Emma steps out unaware of the kraken spawn.*

*Capri sees Emma.* Capri: Mortal. I would stay back if i were you. *Emma fliches* Emma: huh? *A long pink tentacle comes out of the water.* Emma: wh what is that!? Capri: Cthulhu! Be good! *The tentacle grabs Emma and more tentacles come out. They start grouping and ticking the poor maid girl.* Emma: No!! Stop it! *Emma starts laughing. Capri sighs* Capri: Stupid affectionate mollusc....
Red: *stares* "Who's that?" *is looking more at Emma than at the Kraken-spawn 'Cthulhu'*
Capri: Stupid mortal maid... Emma starts crying from her laughter.* Emma: Please help me! TT *Capri sighs.* Capri: You owe me maid.. *Capri takes a big breathe of air.* Capri: who's a cute little elder being huh, who's a cute little elder being?! *Cthulhu sets Emma down and starts "hugging" Death.* Capri sighs: I wont forget this maid.. *Emma runs away in fear.*
*Red watches in a sort of detached bemusement, not entirely sure what's going on*
Capri: it’s still young... *She sighs.*
Red: "Who's the girl? I've never seen her before..." *looks at the kraken spawn* "He... she... is really sweet." *smiles* "You must be proud."
Capri: A mortal maid by the false name of Emma. Cthulhu is my pet. He was saved my life and I saved his. We work well together.. *Cthulhu tightens his grip on Capri.* Capri sighs: He just tends to be a little over affectionate. Red: "May I pet him?" *admires him* "So," *distractedly* "What's the girl's real name? And what would Tod have to feed on if not blood?" *looks sad* "I've not told her something yet... I'm not sure I should."
Capri: She was born without a name. *Cthulhu settles down and releases Capri.* Capri: She would have the choice what ever she wishes to dine on... *The Cthullhu notices Red. Capri hits the tentacle coming close to Red.* Capri: No Cthulhu. No. *Cthulhu takes her advice.*
"So do you think I should tell her?" Red stares over the side of the rail.
Capri: Sure. *She pets the whimpering Cthulhu.* *Red sighs*
Capri: .... *she hugs Red. Cthulhu hugs them both.* Capri sighs: Stupid gastropod.
*Red gulps, then gingerly accepts the kraken's hug, kneeling down to embrace it*
(had Red been a little older in experience, or a little wiser, he might have known embracing a multi-tentacled being was not necessarily a good thing... Red: "But I wanted to lose my virginity to Tod! T_T")[/i]
*Capri looks at Red and smiles.* Capri: Ok little star spawn. back to the depths you go. *Cthulhu protests. But heads back to the sea.* Capri: Good boy.
*Red gives it a kiss before it leaves*
Capri: Cute
*Red looks up and gives Capri a kiss - on the cheek* "Thank you," *smiles* "I'm honored."
*Capri turns around to face something else besides Red.* Capri: Can we go now.
*Red shrugs* "If you like." *pause* "I need to talk to Mother at some point. D'you know if she's busy?"
Capri: Don’t know. *She looks at the sky.* *Red looks with her*
*Capri still looking at the sky. She takes a couple steps away from Red.*
*Red seems unaware of any danger* "I'm glad we could talk." *quietly, then smiles brightly* "Here's your pearl back." *holds it out*
*Capri still looking at the sky.* Capri: Keep it. It might be useful or what mortals call "lucky".
Red: "Thank you, I'll treasure it - as a gift from a friend." *Pauses* "Why are you looking at the sky?"
Capri: It's like the sea. Deep and blue..
Red: *wondering aloud* "I wonder how far it goes..."
*still looking at the sky.* Capri: Not as far as the black sea... Red: "?"
Capri: It's a sea that has not been sailed yet.
Red: "Perhaps we can sail it together?" *smile, then looks away sadly* "...I've been thinking... surrounded by vampires, and death - you - ...should I be scared? I don't know. You're my friend; I trust you; Dusk is Mother... and Tod is... you say she's my 'girlfriend'... ...I'm just... a mortal. How could I defend myself... I'm... just a tiny fish in a massive ocean sea..."
Capri: We all look small in this world. We gain strength by accepting one another as they are. If we cannot do that. we fall. *Red tilts head* "But that's not enough, is it? Otherwise," *bitterly* "Tod wouldn't be a vampire."
Capri: Then get stronger Red. Protect what you hold dear. *Red hangs his head* "I don't know how..."
*Red hangs his head* "I don't know how..."(love! joy! peace! anime values! = epic fail)
*Capri pats him on the head.* Capri: You can figure it out. It's your life. Take charge of it.
*Red kisses her on the cheek again* "All right." *looks at sea, sighs* "It must be fun having a kraken."
Capri: Yes. *she sighs.* Capri mutters: If he could only stop that habit of his..
Red: "What habit?"
*Capri slaps a pink tentacle back into the water.* Capri: That one.
*Red not understanding* "?"
Capri smiles: Red. Never stop being yourself.
Red: "uh... okay... say, why do you have tentacles?"
Capri: My father had tentacles so I have them to.
Red: "For what purpose?"
*Capri coughs and looks at the sky.*
Red *tilts head*
Capri: The sky’s nice..... Red: "If you don't want to talk about it... will you at least show me?"
*A lighting bolt comes out of the sky straight at Red.* Capri: Mother! * She runs in the way taking the blow for Red.*
Red *stares* "What'd I say?" *blinks* "Are you all right?" *stares at Capri*
*Capri still sizzling from the blow.* Capri: I'm fine. But.. * She smells herself.* Capri: I smell like brunt calamari...
*Red frowns* "Let's go inside."
Capri: Okay. *She limps to stand up.* *Red helps her, still frowning. Slipping her arm over his shoulder, he leads her below deck, puzzeled.*
*Cleaver rushes out of nowhere yelling something about "food" and stabs at Capri.* Capri: Your dead mortal. *Red jumps back and stares at the scene* *quietly* "Something you want to tell me?" *forced calmness* "like why lightning bolts flash out the sky, why this is a ship full of - and why someone's trying to kill you?" Capri: I hate Mondays
Red: "Can't you just make him vanish and reappear over the sea or something?" *meaning Cleaver*
Capri: That's a good idea. Cleaver: YOU LITTLE SHi- *Capri punches him in the jaw. Cleaver disappears. You hear a splash outside and a lot of cruses.* Capri smiles: heh
*Red forces a smile* "Are you all right?"
Capri: I'm fine. I could use a bath. But that can wait until we get to your girlfriend.
*Red shakes head* "She's resting, so..." *smiles* "best you bathe first. You can tell me about what your tentacles are for along the way."
Red: "Or show me." *shrug*
*Capri looks the other way.* Capri: Very well. *The storm goes crazy and starts hitting the deck a few times. You can hear Dusk cursing something to the gods about leaving her ship alone or she will personally keelhaul them.*
*Red waits patiently*
*Red seems intrigued, unable to work out what possibly use they could hold*
*She gets into the tub and starts jugging soap and some other bath stuff with her tentacles.* Capri: That’s what there for. I need to take a bath...
"Oh. So... why'd your mother object to that?" *Red frowns, shrugs and pauses* "I'll wait outside for you."
Capri: Thank you Red. *She watches him wait out side the door. She closes the curtains and starts undressing and taking her bath.*
*Red walks off muttering "Those look useful. Wish I could do that. Must get annoying though."*
*Red mutters to himself* "What's with hating Monday anyway? It's Tuesday today."

Norrington sighed and looked at the pathetic creature before him. "And why should I bring you on board the Hangman again?" Miyavi seemed to seriously think as he tapped his chin with a finger. "Seeing as I am the great prince Miyavi and the captain of this beautiful vessel and have done your captain a great injustice, I should be taken aboard you much more superior ship and be flogged personally by the captain and forced into slavery along with the rest of my crew." Miyavi flourished his hand at the end and held up his index finger. "On one condition." Norrington burst out laughing. Then, regaining some composure, straightened to ask: "On what 'condition' may I ask? That she flog you twice on Tuesdays over tea?" "Er, no actually. I was thinking more like being allowed to see the lady Echoe before being flogged and after that three times a week on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays." Miyavi crossed his arms proudly. "I am still a prince. I should be allowed such a small privilage after devoting myself to being a slave on your ship, no?" "I'm sure..." Norrington sighed, holding back another laugh. "Men prepare a longboat to transport me and Mr. Prince to the Hangman." Norrington was a little unnerved to find that not his men, but Miyavi's, fulfilled his orders. Miyavi gave Norrington a cheesy grin, spreading his arms and bowing deeply. "As you can see, they have already begun fulfilling their end of the bargain." He looked up at Norrington with a strange glint in his eye and that smile still on his face. Norrington didn't say anything. Was this some sort of insane trap? No matter, he was a vampire now it wasn't like they could kill him. He stepped into the longboat and waited for Miyavi to do the same. He stared as Miyavi's men lowered them onto the water. Miyavi fearlessly hopped down into the longboat, hands behind his back and smiling straight ahead at the Midnight Hangman. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~: Ginko unfolded one of the packets of medicine he had taken out of a drawer in his box, then held it open beneath Echoe's nose and waited for her to breath it in. Its smell much resembled that of eucalyptus leaves. Echoe inhaled the powdery medicine and coughed slightly, but almost instantly began to breathe easier and regain some of her color. The door to the crowded cabin opened and Dusk walked in. "Is she doing alright?" She looked down at Echoe with a worried face, then sighed a breath of relief. "Her color is so much better!" Ginko opened another packet of medicine and poured it into some water that he'd had BigGun warm earlier. Then gently poured some of the mixture into her mouth. Echoe drank some, but as she regained conciousness she realized something horible and quickly sat up. "Bleh! What the hell is this? It's so--!" Ginko drew back, blinking. "-wonderful! Echoe you look so much better!" Dusk nearly tripped over Ginko on her way to hug Echoe. He barely managed to keep the medicine from spilling and sighed. Then Dusk took a step back again and sent the cup flying. "You're going to have to pay to replace that..." Echoe was taken aback by Dusks sudden affection and temporarily forgot the bitter taste in her mouth. "Er, captain? Did you hit your head again.. . ?" "Haha, no of course not! I just feel a little dizzy that's all nothing to worry about!" She waved it off. Ginko noted that the captain's skin was a shade paler than it had been before she left. He swept his broken cup up with a vague glare and tipped its remains into a piece of fabric and folded it up. Then he packed everything up inside his box and closed it. "She's going to need one or two more packs of medicine. That will be three gold dabloons each." He used the first western currency he could think of. Dusk looked outraged. "Are you sure you don't want to donate them out of the kindness of your heart?" Dusk asked half heartedly. "You broke my cup!" "K fiiinee..." Echoe rubbed at her eyes tiredly, glancing curiously at Ginko. "That guy from the other ship is probably loaded. I couldn't find his stash, but he was bragging about being a prince." She looked up at Dusk. "I hope everything went smoothly?" "Hm? O-oh yes..." She couldn't actually think of how things were going now and she felt weak from the blood she'd given Tod. Ginko considered sneaking out, but then decided to stay for his pay. ((Written with someone who doesn't think twice about sniffing unknown powders given to her by strangers ))

Meanwhile unaware of Die's reaction, Tod patted him on the shoulder, sighed, and took him by the wrist - the way one might lead a young child - and muttered something about finding him 'something to wear in the meantime' - and something about needing clothes herself and a 'suggestion' of raiding ex-commodore Norrington's wardrobe...
Hauling Die into the ship's innards, a clad-in-solely-a-shirt-and-loincloth-Tod marched straight past Red, Die in tow...Red: *stares* "?" Die: *still red-faced allows Tod to lead him* *gives Red an equally confused look on the way by* Red: *cocks head* Tod: *oblivious, marches on* *Tod leads Die into Dusk's cabin and closes the door* Red: " " *noises of clothes being rustled through and thrown on the floor are heard* Die: Ack! what are you-- Hey! *more rustling can be heard* *Red leans back against the door and falls backwards into Capri's bathroom* *Capri looks at Red.* Capri: You ok bozu? Red: *stares* "I'm... not sure..." *Tod holds up a pair of pants with a loud "Aha!", and the sound of a body hitting the deck is heard as she forcefully pushes Die down... ...still unaware of her own strength. An incredulous "Is that all ye got?" can be heard, "Useless man!"* Die: No don't! That tickles! *laughter* Get off'a me! *Red feels a headache coming on* Capri: Sounds like there having fun... Tod: "Compared with Norrington..." *rest is cut off in mumbles and a growl of "Quit squirmin' an' get 'em (or was that "'im"?) up"* Tod: "Wha' am I? Yer mother? Do I hafta do everythin' meself aroun' here? Oy! Quit struggling! I'll show ye meself, if I hafta." Tod: "Now ye lift ye leg like so..." Die: I c'n do it myself, girlie! Ya just won' let meh! *clothes can be heard rustling again* .. . how th' hell'd i get that on backwards? Tod: "Ye fool! Take ye shirt off first!" Die: .. . Can't. Its stuck. Capri muttering: .....trying to take a bath here. Tod: "You useless- fine! Lemme take mine off then; turn aroun'; don't ye know anything?" Red: *stares at Capri seemingly unaware of her state* "Sorry..." Die: No, I mean.. . here look. See? Tod: "Oh. Right. Sure." *sigh* "Well, turn around an' I'll see ta ye. Even Red's better than this. Yer useless, boy; ye'll never learn how ta please a woman this way." Tod: "She'll kick ye out before ye can say 'I love cake'" Capri: Why should you be sorry. *She grabs her sword.* Red: "For interrupting you like this." *looks up and sees tentacles* Die: Well, YOU haven't yet.. . Tod: "Tha' because I be a more patient woman than ye deserve, and God knows why, but I be willin' ta put up with ye long enough ta teach ye how ta-" *scowls* "why be I explainin' this? Com'ere an' I'll show ye." Red *tilts head* "Isn't that that insane man (Cleaver) coming back again? Maybe you should drop him higher this time..." Die: stupid complicated buckle.. . Why the hell does Norrington have something like this in his dresser anyway? Tod: "Will ye stop staring at me chest!" *glares* "giveithere" *yank* Capri: It’s no problem Red. Now.. *She puts on her clothes.* Capri: To have a little chit-chat with the mortal hm what about him? *She heads for the door smiling.* Die: ARGH! Too tight! Too TIGHT! Yer killin' meh! Tod: "Don't ye know how ta-" *loud audiable sighs* "Useless man!" *silence* "Tha' be better fer ye? Loosened an' slack?" Die: Yeah, thanks. How the hell d'ya know how to use this anyway? I never seen one before now. Tod: *opens the door and kicks Die out* "No' I be don' with ye. Out!" *mutters* "bloody men." *sound of clothes rustling be is heard* Die: *standing awkwardly outside with new clothes and a belt with three buckles adorning his waist* Geez, pushy.. . *Red pokes his head out of the door* *Cleaver breaks through the bath wall as any shark guy would be.* Cleaver: I I KILLZ YOU! *He tries to make a stab at Red but gets slapped by Capri.* Capri: Not now mortal. *A splash is heard outside with cruses galore.* Die: *hears breaking wall and yelling and is startled* Holy--! *falls back into room* (cliche much? x D) *Tod spins around as the door crashes open with Die falling in and staring up at her* *Red stares at Tod through the door* *Tod blushes crimson and covers herself with her arms* "OY!" Red: *thinking* 'I didn't know Mother's cabin had a bathtub...' Die: ... fancy seein' you again, eh? *Tod is caught between stamping on Die's face as he lies down staring up at her - throwing him out, or inviting Red in too* *Tod lifts her leg and curls up as she balances on one foot* *dangerously* "I be tryin' ta dress afta I teached ye how ta- if ye keep starin' at me boy- it'll be ta keelhaul for ye!" Capri to self: I hope The Flying Dutchman has a bathtub.. Red *still on the floor, looks up Capri's... looks up at Capri* " " Capri: something wrong. *Capri points at Cleaver.* Cleaver: THE FUCK I DO!? Die: you're the one naked in an unlocked room, girlie, but i'll leave cuz i like livin' *pushes self up off the ground and hurries out the door, forgetting to close it* Tod: "I'm not naked!" *blushes bright red* "I..." *blushes harder and yells* "YOU PERVERT!" Red: "What was that about? And... Mother will be angry her ship has a hole in... and that the deck is messy..." (dun dun duuuuun… Elsewhere, Dusk jumps up with a "WHAT?!" - oh noez, can our intrepid heroes survive their captain's wrath? :-O To find out, tune in next time to... ...buckle me swaaaash) (Written with a cake-lover and a mop-fanatic)

Norrington steps onto the deck and looks around, noting the hole in the wall of the ship with a sigh. Miyavi places a hand over his mouth. "Oh my. Wouldn't it be just terrible if Echoe was hurt on your own ship?" "I really doubt that." He adjusted his hat and glanced around for Dusk. "Where has that woman got to." "Yes, where HAS she got to ?" Miyavi glanced around, then started walking toward the mop cabin. "I doubt she'll be in there, she was ill was she not?" He checked Dusk's destroyed cabin, avoided his and decided to brave Randomman and Biggun's cabin. "Oh, right." Miyavi looked a little disappointed for a moment but sprung back to life and knocked over some red-head as he caught up with Norrington. Norrington knocked on the door to Randomman and BigGun's cabin cautiously.. Randomman: I smell cakebrother noriiiiiiii! * Randomman rushes to the door.* Ginko scrambled out of the way of the crazed cake native. Randomman: Cakebrother! It's been so loooong! come on in!!!! *Randomman pushes him inside.* "I-I'm just looking for-" Norrington practicially trips over. Randomman: Cakez? Oh we have plenty of that! *Randomman goes off to get some cake. Echoe looked up at Norrington. "Ah, hi Mr. Norrington. I hope the invasion went well." Miyavi suddenly decides not to follow Norrington in and hides beside the doorway outside when he hears Echoe. *Randomman reappers.* Randomman: Whats this? A new cakebrother? *Randomman brings him inside.* Miyavi grins nervously. "No, I really don't want to, um--" Sees Echoe and quickly decides that the wall is very interesting. Echoe stares for a moment, then turns to Norrington. "I guess that means it went well?" Norrington grimaced. "Well? We have this 'captain' on our ship now..." "That's no way to treat a guest Norri!" Dusk squeezes her way over to Norrington. Ginko decided that healing Echoe would be a free trial and started attempting to make it to the door of the stuffed cabin. Miyavi spotted Ginko and grinned. "Your head is white! Awesome!" *Sweatdrop* "Thanks." Echoe raised an eyebrow at Dusk. "He's a guest now? I thought he was a kidnapper." "Oh, that too." She brushed it off, where was her mind today? Oh, absent. Ginko cautiously turned to Miyavi. "Your head is...blue." Just what is this guy trying to be? He's got enough metal in his mouth to attract lightening.Randomman: Gasp! We could make the RAINBOW in this ship! Big Gun: ......... Echoe glanced at the two new friends and directed her question at Norrington. "What should we do with him? By now he's been banished from his kingdom and will be worthless. He's fairly harmless but has a crazy streak goin..." Miyavi looked mildly shocked as he turned suddenly. "What are you talking about? I still have a few more hours to fulfill my fathers contract!" Norrington didn't look amused. "Contract?" Dusk looked at him curiously. Ginko rubbed out his cigarette on the wall. Dusk bristled with rage. "NOT on the woodwork!!" "Eh? Oh...sorry." "Next time I keelhaul you!" Ginko bowed half heartedly, wondering what a keelhaul was. Miyavi puffed up, looking proud even tho he wasn't really. "Yes! I've been sent on a journey to discover what the emotion of 'love' truly is for seven days and seven nights and today happens to be my last day! If I do not fulfill this contract--" Echoe interupted him abruptly. "Y'know, he probably made that contract just to get you the hell away from him. I almost feel sorry for you." Miyavi looked frozen in time, mid-sentence and unmoving. "Ouch." Ginko commented over his new cigarette. *Randomman starts crying.* Randomman: ca cakebrother! TT *He hugs miyavi.* Dusk and Norrington look at each other and shrug. Dusk asked. "And if you fail?" Echoe answered for him, shrugging. "He's banished." "Poor guy." Ginko said, not to conviningly and leaned against the bit of wall he could reach. Dusk gave him a look, he was so cool five minutes ago what happened? "You can stay here if you have to." She said to Miyavi. Miyavi's eyes lit up instantly. "D-does this mean I won't get flogged mercilessly?" Dusk blinked, then grinned wickedly. "Oh I didn't say that." Norrington shook his head. Miyavi suddenly leaped over to Echoe's bedside, clinging to her. "NOOO don't let her flog meeeeee! It'll huuuuuurt!" Echoe tried to pry him off herself with no success. "Get OFF me you nutjob!" Dusk cackled. "You sound like a witch..." "That's not very nice Norri!" She slapped him playfully. Ginko watched Miyavi panic, wondering if he ws infected by some mind numbing mushi somewhere... Randommman: .... *He joins in on the hug.* Miyavi grins and suddenly detaches himself from the hug and stands facing Dusk and the others. "I need a moment to speak to the lady Echoe alone if you please?" He makes a small shooing motion. Echoe glares at him. "Are you kidding?" "Huh? No, I'm quite serious. Am I smiling again?" "Rehtorical question, dood..." Ginko trips over Dusk's foot and catches himself on Norrington before half falling out the door. free!*Randomman and Big Gun exit the door.* Randomman: Fluffy! Fluffy: Hissss Randomman: Protect the cake! and gack! *Big Gun pulls on his ear to make him move out.* Fluffy: Hissss "....." There is a swarm of mushi outside the cabin. Ginko sits down and takes out two more cigarettes and lights them. *Randomman runs after the swarm.* Randomman: SQUISHYS! "Careful! Those ones-" (sting) Miyavi looks at Dusk and Norrington curiously. "... why aren't you leaving?" "I'm the Captain." Dusk said plainly. Norrington didn't say anything. "And, dont' mind him, he's more of a hat rack than anything." TT "Oh. So... just pretend you're not here then?" "Exactly!" "She's cruel..." "Alright!" Miyavi sets himself down next to Echoe, who tries to Wriggle away from him but he places a hand on the other side of her. "Father thinks that I signed the contract blindly, but I found a loophole that will work for everyone if you can play along." He smiled strangly. Echoe looked a little uncomfortable. "Er, loophole huh?" Dusk made a face. "And what are you planning on making her do Captain?" Miyavi looked at her innocently. "Eh? Um, just a kiss is all. We both have to want to though." He blushed very slightly. "What did you think I was talking about?" Echoe was seriously red. Dusk burst out giggling and Norrington wished he'd left the room when asked to. "Y-your face!" Dusk doubled over. *Randomman stats a epic race with the mushi* Big Gun: looks fun.... *Randomman pushes her into the race.* Randomman: Join inz! were in the frist place!!!!! * Big Gun starts running alongside Randomman.* Big Gun to self: I just need to stay with him and we should win without fail. (not you too Big Gun!!! TT) Ginko shook his head, at least they weren't pestering him any longer. And...the mushi didn't seem overly bothered with a crazed native chasing them around. He put out one of his cigarettes on the deck. Keelhauling probably wasn't that bad whatever it was. ((cake, tea, mop combo with fries and a drink))

*Big Gun won the epic race. Her reward was full access to the gunpowder room.* Big Gun: cool. Randomman: woot 2nd place is moor cakes!!! *the mushi had the reward of having some exercise. Everybody winz * Ginko watches the mushi float away pathetically after 'losing' their 'race' with Randomman. "Not bad." Dusk was still gigglin at Echoe. Echoe reached up and pushed Miyavi away from herself and swung her legs over the side of the bed. "Y'know what? I feel totally fine. I'm going to figure out how much cleaning I've got ahead of me." Miyavi tried to push her back into bed. "No way! What about the contract? I need to go home!" "I think this 'contract' is a lie and you'll be able to go home with no problems. Like I said," She looked at him, a little dizzy but fighting it. "I think he just wanted to get you out of the castle." "Echoe... it's just a kiss. All you have to do is peck his cheek." Echoe looked over Miyavis shoulder at Dusk, feeling a little insulted and was about to say so. "No no no, it HAS to be on the lips! Like this." Miyavi quickly leaned in to kiss her and his face met the palm of her hand. "Just...no." "Look Echoe, this is gonna cause problems. Why don't you ju-" Dusk vanishes. Norrington looked startled. "Where has that woman got to.." He exited with a loud slam of the door. *Randomman eats cake beside Big Gun as she inspects the contents in the gunpowder room.* Big Gun: hmmm *Randomman scarf’s down another cake to the bottomless pit that he calls a stomach.* Randomman: Cake for you! Cake for me! Cake for you! Cake for me! *Big Gun smiles.* Big Gun: Ok. Randomman: Already? *Big Gun raises a sack of gun powder.* Randomman: Yoho! Ok Big Gun! *They leave the room.* Ginko let out a breath of smoke and watched it curl away into the sky. His stomach growled a little indignantly. Miyavi looked quite shocked as he looked back at the door. "Eh?? Where did all of my supporters go?" Echoe took the moment of distraction to shove Miyavi away from her and stumbled over to the door. Miyavi hit the floor hard, but quickly jumped to his feet as he saw Echoe slip out the door. She was following the wall to her mop room, hoping the deck would stop trying to tip over. Was it tipping? "Oi! Where are you going??" Miyavi quickly caught up to her and grabbed her arm. "What the-- you're too sick to be out here! It's cold, let's take you back inside..." Echoe slapped his hand away and leaned heavily against the wall, unbalanced again and her viSion going wobbly as she tried to concentrate on glaring at him. "Don't. Touch me." Miyavi held his slapped hand like it was broken. *Randomman with a cake still in his mouth. Looks at Ginko in puzzlement.* Randomman: What’s wrong Mr. mister? Ginko looks up at Randomman with a sigh. Always just cake. "Can I buy some decent food off of you? I have money...I just need something apart from cake..." Randomman: pay? Why don’t you just go in the kitchen and make something? "Please, lead the way. As long as I get to eat." Randomman: Sure thing Mr. mister! *Randomman stands still smiling.* Ginko stood up, realizing he'd left his shoes in Randomman's cabin, and waited for Randomman to lead the way. (MyvxDiexGinkoxCAAAAAKE. Everyone loves cake. <3)

Tod found herself flat on her back. Dazed, she opened her eyes and tried to sit up. She shook her head and stared; then blinked, "M-" she opened her mouth, only to find herself cut short as another's covered hers. Squirming, she felt the wooden planking through her thin, cotton shirt, her trousers at her ankles.
Even now, her mind's eye replayed what had happened; such absolute anger, rage, - a spectrum of emotions, like a rainbow, as she struggled to tug on her - and then the floor... ...and... "Mmophmph!"
Dusk couldn't remember how she got from nagging Echoe to snogging Tod, but the effect was...not all that unpleasant.
Gasping, and pulling back, Tod stared up into Dusk's garnet eyes, her own wide and blue. Limbs flailing, she suddenly wondered why she was protesting, and glanced down, a crimson flush touching her cheeks. It was endearing, in a cute sort of way. She didn't say anything, but felt herself relaxing as she stared up at her captain wordlessly.
Dusk breathed, blushing a little herself.
"Tod...." She stroked her cheek. "How did I get here?" She laughed.
Wriggling slightly, Tod stretched, shifting her limbs, "Yer squashin' me," she commented, slightly distracted, but not really complaining. Her ankles were caught in her trousers, which didn't help. Shyly, she offered a hesitant smile at the Dusk's touch; it... wasn't unpleasant. Part of her longed for the rest of her head to be cupped in her hand; was this what it meant to be made into a vampire? She didn't know... Fighting down hurt and feelings of rejection, she tried to hold onto this unexpected expression of warmth for as long as she could.
Dusk smiled back at her. Echoe could wait, that crazy old man had her fever down at least. "Tod, there are still some things I need to tell you." She didn't move from on top of her, enjoying her blue eyes. "Never drink from the dead. That's our first rule....next, do what you can to keep the crew from suspecting. That means avoid feeding from any of them if at all possible. I used to have a cabinboy who understood and I drank his blood in return for harboring him from the country who has a price on his head, but he's left. You'll have to get by as best you can on my blood until we can make port." She leaned over her, exposing her neck.
"That nasty freak..." Tod made a face, then her eyes flooded with tears, "Why... didn't you tell me sooner..." Part of her wanted to dash them away with an angry shake of her head, but she couldn't take her eyes off Dusk.
"It's alright, I don't think anyone suspects."
She nodded, then swallowed, her throat suddenly dry, "Bed's... over there." Jerking her head, she gestured at the bunk a few feet away. "More... comfy..." Her blush was back, "Not that I... mind... this..."
Dusk blinked. "Oh..." she blushed a little too, rolling off of Tod and standing up awkwardly.
Tod simply looked at her, half shyly, half questioningly; too shy to ask to be carried, but her look clearly expecting it.
Dusk considered. Poor Tod, she hadn't ever planned on turning her. She looked so innocent with those blue eyes and yet... Dusk lifted her gently into her arms and held her a moment silently before crossing to the bed where she gently let her down.
Kicking off her trousers, Tod snuggled up beside her, resting her cheek on her shoulder, "I'm sorry... to cause you such trouble..."
"You're not causing me any trouble, don't worry." She fell silent, looking at her distantly.
Hesitantly, Tod swallowed, then stared at the floor. "Will you... hold me? Please?" Her voice sounded hoarse in her own ears. "Damnit, I sound like Red." Her eyes narrowed, "He makes me so mad..." The fire left her words and she looked at up Dusk anew, "M-" She hesitated again, then abruptly asked, "You were saying?" For once, it seemed her English was remarkably good; on a par with Red's.
Dusk held her to herself before thinking. She was so soft, comforting. Somehow, though in the back of her mind she knew it was wrong, she was glad that she'd turned Tod. "It's not your fault any of this happened. Don't be guilty. It's just your nature to feed on blood now, try not to fret about that too long as well."
Tod just nodded, glancing down, and then looking up at her. Hesitating again, she glanced away, then quickly leaned up and kissed her - just shy of her mouth. "Thank you..."
Something curious and protective stirred inside of Dusk. She wanted to hold Tod closer, to kiss her again... She found herself doing just that.
Caught between the urge to nestle against her, and to return her kiss, Tod settled for both; bowing her head and pressing in against Dusk's breast, waiting for her to stroke her hair, kiss her hair... ...while she kissed the very thing her face was pressed against. She was never this subdued, yet, she could not feel any kind of authority over Dusk; all she wanted was to be held, to be loved... she had felt herself cry out for it; and then Dusk had appeared atop of her.
Dusk stroked her hair. "I'll teach you more when the time comes..."
Tod nodded, suddenly feeling so very tired. Again. "M-" She sighed, "Red... won't understand. I... can't..." She felt herself tear up, "you already knew that..."
"Hush now, he'll understand. You don't need to rush these things." She rubbed her back soothingly.
"He won't... it'll never work... he... he and... I... I wanted to- I couldn't... I can't..." Staring up at her, her blue eyes shone in spite of her tears, "That's... that's why... you and Norri... because he's... like you." "Me and Norri..." She trailed off, still rubbing Tod's back to relax her. "I don't think that's it..."
"Well, he's... not... human." The last word felt painful as she forced herself to admit the terrible truth, "You don't... have an urge to drain him of his blood... or see him as... as food..." She winced, "I'm... I'm a monster."
"No you're not....hush now...everyone's just trying to get by. It's not your fault. Maybe one day there will be a cure...we could ask that creepy old man or something..." She went on like this, her voice soft and soothing as she could manage.
Reaching up, Tod brushed Dusk's cheek, then held it as she stared into her eyes, "I'm sorry... I... I'm never like this." Lifting her head, she almost kissed her, almost, but placed her head back on Dusk's shoulder instead. Part of her felt a pang of painful longing, both hunger, but also the memory of her kiss still lingering in her mouth.
Dusk stroked her hair silently.
"Sta-" She swallowed, "stay with me?" Not meeting her eyes, she whispered, "Please? I... I know you've a ship to run, an' I know yer a vicious, mean pirate captain an' all... an'..." She caught herself; so many stupid tears: where were they all coming from? Blinking them away, she pressed on, "but ye hafta sleep som' time..."
Part of her felt dizzy; suffocating, almost. What was it? She yearned for... something.
Dusk didn't answer, she brought her wrist to her mouth and slit it. Then, forced her wrist to Tod's mouth. "Drink. I'll stay with you for the rest of today and tonight. Norri will understand, but you have to drink..:
"Bu-" Tod nodded unhappily, but found her body moving of its own accord; eagerly lapping at the blood and desiring more of it. Horrified, she tried to pull back, but couldn't force herself to. Eyes growing wild, she thrashed trying to pull back, but unable to - unsated, her body screamed for more. Terror took her; had she not been in Dusk's arms, she might have screamed.
Dusk waited until she felt she'd fed Tod enough before she forced her wrist from her grip. Her wound closed and she held Tod to her, waiting for her to calm down.
Tod stared, then pressed herself to Dusk's breast again, trying to fight back sobs. Yet, the yearning within her was satisfied. For now. Cuddled against Dusk, this time, she didn't stop her silent tears from rolling down her cheeks.
Dusk kissed the top of her head protectively.

Echoe couldn't believe the look he was giving her. It made no sense at all, why the hell was he making that... face! She had just insulted him and his father, pushed him to the ground, run away from him, slapped him... Why in the hell was he smiling at her? He didn't look happy, but still smiling. "....Well? Aren't you gonna go throw yourself over the side? Hate me yet?" She asked sharply, wishing for the tilting feeling to stop. "I know what hate feels like, but I'm just not feelin' it right now." He reached up with his 'good' arm and placed a hand over his heart. "Whatever this is... it's heavy." He gripped the clothing over it tightly. "It's so horribly... dense. Like my chest is in a vice. I want to fall to the ground in sorrow and cry outloud. But instead, I'm standing here. I want to know what this is. No, I DEMAND to know!" Miyavi slammed his hand into the wall next to her. "Why does a little slap on the wrist make me feel this?! It's.... LAME!" Well, no mistaking he's not smiling anymore... Echoe thought to herself drowsily. The way he was acting... she couldn't quite grasp who it reminded her of... Oh hell. Drug side-effect anyone? She reached up and grabbed the front of his shirt. Frilly... Miyavi winced. "Er, I'm sorry... don't hurt me?" His defensive smile was back up. How annoying. "You're so dumb." She pulled herself to him and caught his mouth in a kiss before he could protest.
Poor hangovered Die who came to save the day and instead watched his world crumble before his very eyes.

*Randomman just stands smileing.*
Ginko starts to get impatient.
*Randomman smiles.*
"Why aren't you going anywhere?"
Randomman: huh?oh! The foodz! thats right! *Randomman pushes Ginko into the door right behind him.*
Ginko stumbles back into the 'kitchen'.
"It was right here?" Ginko didn't look amused.
Randomman smiles: Yuppers! ...funny were's cake brother Cleaver? *Randomman rolls around on the floor.* Randomman: I dont know how to cook! were going to die! TT
*Sweatdrop* Ginko looked down at the crazed native. He started to poke around the kitchen, everything was in strange locations. Who puts spoons underneath the pots and pans?
Randomman: I'M IN DESPAIR! IN A WORLD WITHOUT FOOD THERE CAN ONLY BE DEATH! *Capri sneezes.*
"What is with this place?" He leaves half of the drawers opened and several things on the floor before sitting down. "I give up, sure I can't buy something from you?"
*Randomman haveing crying this entire time. formed what many could call a true puddle of tears.* Randomman: FoooOOOOoood
Ginko gave him a look, then, by sure luck, he spotted a loaf of french bread sticking out from an upside down basket. He huried over and pulled the basket off of it. "Yes..." He split off the end and ate it greedily. He offerd the rest to Randomman lazily.
Randomman: sniff sniff huh? *Randomman gets even more teary eyed* Randomman: Mr. mister you saved our lifes! TT *He takes the rest of the bread.* Randomman: Cakebrother Mr. mister! TT
"ah...right... my name is Ginko."
Randomman: Cakebrother Ginko! TT
Not what he'd meant but close enough. He sort of hadn't meant for him to finish the rest of the entire loaf..oh well. "So, what sort of mushi do you see out here on the seas?"
Randomman: umm lets see a big squishyfish! and the squishy race folk! and blah blah blah blah
Ginko stops following after 'big' but nods in what he supposed were the right places anyway.
*Cleaver busts into the room.* Cleaver: WHAT THE SHIT IS THIS CHICKENSHIT!? *Randomman waves at Cleaver all carefree like.* Randomman:Were makeing foodz! Cleaver: I SEE THAT!
Ginko looked mildy up at Cleaver. "Have your cat features stopped reapparing?"
*Cleaver starts dragging Randomman out the door.* Cleaver: yes. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY DOMAIN!
Ginko stays sittin cross legged on the floor, watching the scuffle over his cigarette.
Cleaver: DEATH! *Cleaver runs at Ginko. but Randomman starts pulling him back from behind.* Randomman: NooOOOoo! Cleaver! Stop please! cakebrothers dont fight! Cleaver: GET OFF OF ME CHICKENSHIT! LET ME STAB HIM AND DICE HIM UP! Randomman: Noes! TT
"Hmm? What'd I do man?"
Cleaver: CLEAN YOUR SHIT UP! NO ONES SMOKEING AROUND WHEN MY KIDS ARE BORN! *He holds Ginko up by his collar.* Cleaver: YOU FUCK UP MY KIDS AND I FUCK YOU UP! GOT IT? *Cleaver stroms out the kitchen.*
"Oh...but this is a different-"
Randomman: Cleaver! wait up! *Randomman runs after him.*
"Hmm..."
Randomman: Cleaver! wait up! *Randomman runs after him.*))
Ginko sighed and put out his cigarette on the floor.
*Randomman bites onto Cleavers vest and tries pulling him back.* Cleaver: LET ME GO! Randomman: Cleaver you gotta chill! You might get a ulcer or something! Cleaver: THE FUCK IS THAT? Randomman: It's gah! *Cleaver KO's Randomman and runs off to who knows where troubled sharks go.*
Ginko hears a struggle and sighs, gets up slowly (old man XD) and then steps out side the 'kitchen and looks down at an unconcious Randomman. Ginko opens his box and takes out a bitter plum and places it in Randomman's open mouth.
*Randomman jumps in the air.* Randomman: YUMMY! *He looks at Ginko.*Randomman: wheres cakebrother Cleaver?
"You weren't supposed to...I don't know where he went." Ginko glanced around the ship.
"Do you know that man very well?"
Randomman strikes a pose of cakeness.* Randomman: He's like my other half! : "Do you know where he usually goes at a time like this?"
Randomman: um where do men go when there troubled? um dont tell me! dont tell me! I know this one! its ummmm what is it? nirs
"I don't know, that's why I asked..." Ginko almost reached for another cigarette, but stopped himself.
Randomman: Hm well it caint be the that one rum room which is the last room on the right in the inner part of the ship. He could be in the oy oy Ginko where are going? ...Wait for me! TT
Ginko headed straight to the rum store as best he could with out knowing exactly where it was.
*Blackbeard takes another swig at his rum.* Blackbeard: Hey Cleaver. Cleaver: WHAT YOU WANT YOU DRUNK?! *Cleaver falls face frist into a fork.* Cleaver: FUCK! Blackbeard: You know that old man that looks young? *Cleaver turns to see Ginko.* Cleaver: FUCK! *He gets his weapon of choice out.* Cleaver: COME ON! YOU OLD FART! I CAN TAKE yah! *Randomman looks at Ginko with a worried face.*
"That's not a very good way of repaying me for curing your 'problem' earlier." He motioned to the rum, and called to Blackbeard. "Oy, pass me one of those will you?"
Blackbeard: um sure stranger. *He passes the rum to Ginko.* Cleaver: I GAVE YOU PAY. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT AFTER ME? "Why did you knock out my friend back there?"
Cleaver: THE FUCK YOU CARE? *He stabs his weapon on the table and leaves it there.* Cleaver: YOU MAY HAVE FIXED ME. BUT I WONT STAND FOR YOU PLANTING SEEDS OF LIES IN HIM. *He points at Randomman.* Cleaver: HE's ALREADY FUCKED UP ENOUGTH! : "Oh? And what lies have I been spreading?" He takes a mug of rum from Blackbeard.
Cleaver: Kishikishikshikshikshikshikshi! *He grabs his cleaver puts it against Ginkos throught.* Cleaver: I HAVE NO TIME FOR YOUR GAMES OLD MAN!
"It's alright, I'm not playing any. Relax man..." He raises his hands nervously.
*Cleaver looks at Ginkos eyes.* Cleaver: Fuck! *He withdraws his weapon.* Cleaver: THE FUCK! YOUR EYES LOOK TRUSTFULLY. BUT I YOU CAINT EXPECT ME TO BELIVE THIS SHIT RIGHT? *He takes a drink.*
"Eye, actually..." he slides down a little and picks his mug up again. "Oy, bearface, gimme another one will you?"
*He gives Ginko another* Blackbeard: Bearface?
"With all that hair you look kind of like a bear, pretty furocious."
Blackbeard: oh ok. Randomman: Yohohoho Cleaver: .....
"There is a type of mushi, it likes to attach itsself to the ceiling. It looks like a long black thread..." He dared. "it slips so far down, that it tickles your nose when you're trying to sleep. It's really annoying."
Randomman: cool with a k! Cleaver: A BLACK THREAD?
"Yes. It's called a 'Kuro'. They're harmless really, unless you're a light sleeper." "Then they can make you downright miserable. He laughs awkwardly.
*Randomman and Blackbeard look at one each other and nod.* Cleaver: WHATS YOUR POINT? AND WHY ARE YOU TWO AGREEING WITH HIM HUH?
As long as he doesn't take the cleaver to me again...
Cleaver: FUCK THIS! *Randomman and Blackbeard hold him still.* Cleaver: HEY! THE HELL GUYS!? LET ME GO!
"Relax man. You'll go grey, look what happened to me."
Cleaver: ! *He settles down.*
Ginko laughs.
*Cleaver gets himself a drink.* Cleaver: I DONT SEE IT. SO IT"S NOT REAL. *Hes takes a drink.* Cleaver: SIMPLE AS THAT.
"What about your cat ears and tail?" He asks loudly in front of Bearface.
Blackbeard: BWHAHAHAHA! Cleaver The Cat Shark! Randomman: THATS NOT FUNNY! YOHOHO! Cleaver: YOU ALL DIE NOW! *He takes a drink and reaches for his cleaver.*
Oh shit...
((of cake and old men))

After a few moments they broke away, Miyavi looked a little surprised. "Er... was that supposed to answer my question?" "Well, do you feel any better?" Miyavi blinked. Then smiled. "I, guess so." He turned to his own ship suddenly, eyes wide and hopeful. "Did it work?!" Echoe looked confused. "Huuuh? What are you--?" Suddenly Miyavi started dancing around. "It worked it worked it worked it worked it WOOOORKED!" He danced over to her and faced her towards his ship. "LOOK! See what's happening?!" Echoe squinted, trying to concentrate. Blink. "Is it the drugs in my system or is the ship rotting and sinking?" Miyavi hugged her. "Eh, probably a little of both. But who cares? I get to go home!"
Die watched from over the railing as the ship sank. Why did those men look so happy? Don't they notice the ship sinking...? ... is that a fish? He rubbed his eyes in confusion and continued to watch the dying ship.
"Put me down you nut!" She heard Miyavi gasp and release her suddenly and they both fell to the ground. "Ow! You klutz! Watch where you-- whoa, are you ok?" Miyavi was lying on the ground, breathing heavily with a pained look on his face. "D-dammit. I forgot... to..." He started ripping his clothes off frantically. "Holy-- Not here man!" Echoe went to cover her eyes but noticed something growing quickly on his waist. "What the hell is that?" "Never mind. Just... Help!" He was fumbling with his boots as he winced in pain. His spine seemed to be overrun with something. "Ok..." Echoe went about helping with his shoes while he moved onto ripping his pants the rest of the way off. She could see the blue things taking over his body as he tore away his clothes. She also watched as the stuff seemed to meld his legs together and felt a new urgency to get the boots off quickly before... She didn't know what. She yanked the last boot and sock off just as the blue reached his feet and she quickly backed away, horrified. I'm gonna ask the good doctor what was in that shit he gave me...
Gills had appeared on his neck and the blue turned out to be scales. A great fin had formed at the end of where his feet had been. He looked highly embarrassed to be in such a vulnerable position. "...Um... surprise?" Nervous grin.
Die, completely sober by now, saw the whole thing wandered off to sleep off his drunken-ness.

Red *stares up at Capri* "You're sneezing." Capri: Hm. I wonder why? *She takes out a handkerchief and cleans her nose.* Red: "You tell me." *tilts head* Capri: I don't know. gah! I forgot about that stupid seagull guy! TT Red: "Huh?" Capri: That mortal had to nerve to insult me. Death! *She starts stomping her foot on the ground.* Capri: Then he insults my mother and father! thats just asking for a trip to the afterlife! *She starts slashing the air with her sword.* Capri: He must pay! Red *tries to cover a laugh and fails*
*Capri turns to face Red very slowy.* Capri: Ohhhhh? You dare to laugth at death Red? Red: "But- but- please don't hurt me, but you're so adorably cute when you do that!" *stammers and blushes shyly* Capri: To late for that Red! *She smiles deviously and starts slowy walking towards Red.* Capri: Suffer! *She starts tickling Red.* Capri: Mwhahahaha! Fear me mortals! I am Death! Red *eyes wide* *gasps* "Me-me-mercy! Be-beg pardon!" *squirms at Capri's feet* "I yield-" *gasps for air* Capri: Oh? Mercy from Death? Very unlikely! Now! For the Dealdy Death ComboArts 101! Death Tickle Attack! *She starts tickleing Red with her tentacles to.* Red: "Gah! Pl-plea- I'm - I - " *Red starts crying from muffled laughter* *accidently brushes a tentancle with his lips as he squirms* Capri: Nooo! XD*Capri starts laughing uncontrollably.*
Red: *thinks between gasps 'Hmm...'* *grabs tentacle and starts licking it* Capri: wh what are you doing!? *She falls to the floor in a laughter like spazz.* Capri: Stop that! XD Red: "Fear me, for I am me!" *starts sucking on tentacle after grabbing it in his hands* Capri: Noooo! mercy! please! XD *Capri trys to stand up but falls down.* Capri: Death caint laugth! *She starts loseing her voice.* Red: "No! Death must yield before me!" *he tickles her side with one hand, still holding her tentacle in the other* *grins like an idiot* Capri: Red! Please stop! XD *she starts crying.* Capri: I'm sorry!I really I am! XD *six pearls hit the floor.* Red: *pauses* "Truce?" *threateningly tickles the end of her tentacle with the tip of his tongue* Capri: Truce! Ha! Never! *she sneaks off of Red.* Capri: I am Capri Tuki! their shall be no Truces with me! It's win or lose only! Red *tackle-dive-hug, grabs tentacle in his mouth and sucks rapidly*
Capri: Noo! Darn it Red! *She ties Reds hands up with her tentacles.* Capri: Ha! Told you! No one can best Death! ow ow. *She bites her lip as Red tries tugging to get his arms free from her tentacles.*
*Red starts sucking for all his worth until she yields or...* *Red starts choking* *She lets Red go from her grasp. she checks on Red* Capri:Ah! um sorry Red! I went a little to far....are you alright? Red *splutters for breath*
Capri: Sorry about that! *she laughs.*
*Red snatches two of her tentacles between thumb-and-forefinger, one in each hand; tugging gently, he forces her to her knees in front of him as he stands up* "You'd better be sorry!" *mock threatens* "Or else! You owe me!" *Capri bites her lip to dull the pain.*Capri: Ha! Do your wrost Red! You have nothing on me! *she starts laughing all scary villen like.* *Red leans in* "Oh really?" *suddenly looks menacing, eyes dark and terrifying* *Capri grins.* Capri: Yah I dare you! I wont even try to get away! *Little did Capri know that this would be her downfall.* *Red releases her tentacles and grabs her by the earlobes - gently -, leans in, and licks the tip of her nose* "Ha!" Capri: wh what? *She blushes her face going slightly blue.* Capri: You prevy Red! *She starts to get up.* Red: "You said 'do your worst'. So there." *Red folds his arms and gives her a stubborn 'I'm not sorry-you asked for this-'look.* Red: "Besides, you started it by tickling me!" Capri: Heh so that was your worst huh? *she grabs his hat and puts it out of his reach.* Capri: Heres mine! * (Death...you can be such a kid sometimes i swear! XD.)
*Red stares, then glares, then grabs her hat and plonks it on his head*
Red: "Well, you're not Tod, or I'd do worse than that, so there !" Capri: Oh? I thought you were going to do your worst? Now your telling me your holding back?.... *She grabs her hat back and puts next to Reds hat.* Capri: Dont take stuff that dosent belong to you Red. thats just not be a proper gentleman. *She shakes her hand.* Capri: tsk tsk tsk kids these days! Red: "You took my hat!" *sticks tongue out* "besides," *sniffs haughtily, "You wouldn't like me to do my worst..." Capri: I dare yah Red! I dare yah Red! *she starts danceing like some unmature child who never had a dance class to save her life.*
*Red stares for a moment, then defiantly walks over to her and unbuckles her belt... then he pulls it out quickly and smirks as her sword clatters to the floor, grabs her hand and neatly loops it around the belt and ties it to her other hand, and tugs on the collar of her shirt, pulling her forwards* "You still want to see my worst?" *smirks* *Capri stares for a moment.* Capri: I I mean Death can handle anything! So what if you tied me up with my own belt. It's like you have the advantage or anything! *She faces Red with a overconfident grin.* *Red grins back in reply* "True, but your hands are all... occupied." *Grabs the tentacles gently and begins to tie them into a knot* *Pauses, then adds innocently* "You know, I might hear that insane man again... or... I might call your friend, Cthulhu..." *neatly trips her up and ties her up by the ankles using his own belt. Despite being a ship, there was no spare rope at hand*
Red: *pause* "Or..." *grabs her hat* "I have a feather here..."
Capri: So what? You have a feather big deal! *she pauses in fear.* Capri: And dont you dare call Cthulhu! maybe the sharky just for the heck of sending him flying into the water once more! XD *Red grins and squats in front of Capri; then he tickles her nose with the feather and leans in close;* "So whatcha goin' ta give me ta stop me from summoning yer Cthulhu?" *teases* *Capri laugths.* Capri: Ha! Only I can summon Cthulhu! What you think hes just going to come over and attack his master?! *Capri laugths .*
*Red laughs, rolls Capri onto her side and starts to lick the end of one of her tentacles, then looks up with a wicked grin* "'cause if you don't, I'll do this until you beg me to let you summon him, or ," *grins wickedly* "you can persuade me not to! Your choice!" *eyes dance with laughter*
*Capri starts laughing madly.* Capri: useing Cthulhu is cheap Red! *She struggles on the floor.* Capri: dont think its your win! I'm not that easy to break! *She sticks out her tongue between some giggles.* Red: "You're right! Using Cthulhu is cheap!" *laughing, he grabs her boot and tugs it off* "Tickle-time! Let's see how well you do now!" *threateningly places feather at her foot* *Capri thrashes around wildly.* Capri: Th The hell? XD*She looks at the feather.* Capri: Oh. my feather. so thats what you were going on about. *she sigths like its no big deal.* Red: "Nut uh, not going to work!" *tickles her feet with her own feather* *pauses, then shuffles up close to her and stares into her eyes,* "yield yet? You're all tied up, nowhere to go, and... I can tickle you endlessly!"
Capri: Still *She struggles.* Capri: Not *She gets up.* Capri: Going *She starts hoping to her sword.*Capri:To ah! *She falls into the tub somehow.* Capri: work! TT *how do you trip on nothing? XD* *Red grabs the sword,* "Nu uh, can't have it. It's mine now." *Red tries not to laugh as she stumbles into the tub head-first, her skirt and remaining boot flying up in the air* Capri; I wasent trying to escape! *She turns her head.* Capri: I just dident want anyone triping on it! thats all!
*Red laughs and tries to help her out of the tub, but ends up falling in next to her. Sitting up sheepishly, he offers,* "I'll let you go if you yield and if you can do something for me Tod can't." *grins* "But you have to think up what it is!" *evil twinkle in his eye, believing that there's nothing she can do for him Tod can't* Red *adds quickly* "Without using your powers!"
*She struggles to get in a more Capri: I already told you! I never give up you dork! and I'm nothing without my magic anyways. *she stares at floor.* Red: *tilts head* "Huh? What's... dork? I don't get it..." *Red hugs her tightly and smoothes her hair* "And that last bit's just silly; you're my friend, so..." *pokes her gently* "it's okay to lose, sometimes." Capri: I'm only half immortal Red. *She a little.* Capri: And Death never loses! *She tries to stand up but fall back and hits her head on the wall.* Capri muttering: Stupid wall. Stupid belt. Stupid shark man. If hes going to crash the walls. Why not crash theam all down?*The tubs starts getting filled up with water.* Capri mutters: .....perfect. just perfect. Red: "Nooo, my clothes are getting wet!" *stares* "So're yours." *pokes* "And what about 'life'? Doesn't that trump death?"
(Capri’s wearing a big pirate hat with a large feather, a short red captains coat with epaulette on the shoulder and long sleeves with cuffs, a inner white shirt and top, dark brown red short skirt, two captain boots, she has a black glove on her right arm and a leg stocking on her right leg )
Capri: huh? *She looks at her now see threw white shirt and top.* Capri: oh come on! and no Red! life can’t beat death! thats just plain silly! Red: "So how come you're here?" *tilts head, and then peers at her curiously, almost as if he's analysing - or comparing* Capri: For my fathers ship of course! *She tries to stand up but falls ontop of Red.* Capri: Stupid belt! Red: "That's not what I meant, silly. I meant if life didn't beat death, you couldn've have been born; none of us could, 'cause we'd all be dead and we'd never be alive in the first place. Only when life surrenders do we die." *Red stiffles a laugh as Capri falls ontop of him, the surprisingly philosophical moment gone as he catches her in his arms and finds himself flat against the tub...*
Capri: Red I just *Capri skirt falls off.* Capri: Figures. Our clothes are wet anyways. *she looks at Red.* Capri: Red I give you permission to take off my clothes. Red: *blinks* "Okay, well, if we're going to bathe together, we can't do it in our clothes, but uh, I can't move easily." *arms flail* "I guess..." *reaches to untie tentacles* "But truce, okay? At least, no tickling?" Capri: Fine. *Red frees he tentacles.* Capri: But let me undress you.. *She starts undressing Reds shirt with her tentacles.*
*Red's trousers slip down for the same reason Capri's skirt has; no belt*

Capri: Hmmmm *She looks at Red.* Capri: How about a kiss for the man who beat death? *She smiles.* *Red shrugs, then smiles,* "Sure, but only 'cause you're a friend." *Tilts head to offer his cheek* *Capri smiles.* Capri: No Red. not there. *She embraces Red with her tentacles to make him stand still in a form of a hug. and lowers herself to kiss Red mouth the mouth. Capri starts crying. pearls start falling into the water.*
*Red stares, unsure what to make of it all and remains still.* *After a moment, he gently wipes her tears away with a finger* "What's wrong?" *quietly, as if nothing had happened* Capri: I'm not supposed to fall for anyone. *she crys.* Capri: But my mother had no right to try to kill you Red. *she looks at Red.* Capri: But I shouldent get in yours or Tods way. Just forget what i saied Red. *She tries to hold back her tears.* Capri: heh I'm just stupid and getting worked up. thats all. Death caintlove or bring forth life right? (She laughs as her tears fall down her face.* *Red hugs her tightly and kisses her hair* "Shh," *he whispers* "You're my friend; I..." *sighs quietly* "I... don't like to see you hurting." *Red lifts Capri's chin gently and places his lips on hers,* "Shh, don't cry."
*Capri heart beats.* Capri: It it hurts. But I dont want to forget this feeling or you! *She kisses Red back. Capri's tentacles bring him up against her chest.*Capri: can you hear it Red. what is it. Why caint i tear myself from it its grasp. *She crys but nothing comes out.* *Red holds her and strokes her hair* "Shh," *he repeats, and kisses her gently on the forehead* "You're safe here..." *pauses* *sighs* "Besides..." *looks away* "I... Tod... we... if... if she's a vampire... if the legends are true... if... then... I..." *his fists ball up and he blinks back tears* "I..." *lifts Capri's chin and stares into her eyes* "Tell me the truth... a mortal and a vampire can never... can they." *not a question* Capri: can they what? *Capris body starts to shake uncontrollable.* Red: "...Last." *looks down, then looks at her*
*Capri face blushes blue.* Capri: If you like. you can stand with me. I'm not Tod but..if you ever want to go back to her its fine with me. *She hugs him.* Capri: I know its selfish. But i want to stay with you Red as long as I can. Red *looks away* "I'll be with you, remember?" *looks back and kisses her gently* "but... right now... I'm mortal, here..." *swallows* *stares down* "I... I don't know how I feel. I - I love her an' all, and that won't change but... I... I don't know her anymore, do I?" *stares up* "a vampire... she'd drain my blood... and... she can't stay with me; I know she won't... I don't even know what she's doing now..." Capri:...Red. No forget it. Can you untie me? Red: "Not unless you give me an answer." *fixes her with a flat look* "You know something you're not telling, or you never would have said 'forget it'. I may seem innocent, but I'm not stupid." *seems almost hurt* Capri: Forget it Red! Tod and you arent ment for each other! Not me! *she breaks the belt,grabs her clothes and runs off.* Red: *stares* "Come back here!" *picks up Capri's pearls* "I mean it!" *quietly* "I do mean it... friends... don't just run off..."
*Capri stops and walks back to Red.* Capri: Yes. Just friends. Capri to herself: Just kill thease feelings of mine. I wont be bound theam. Being just close by him is enougth.
*Red leans forward and takes her hand* "Listen to me," *looks at the floor and then at her eyes, searching, deep for her soul* "We will be together, one day." *pauses* "I..." *still in the bathtub* "need to know... " *stares deeper into her eyes* "what... you know about Tod. I... want to give you a gift," *glances down* "because... you're my friend and you're... so lonely, even though you say you're not, so... I... need to know. Please?" Capri: Tod is with Dusk their just hugging though. *Capri drys her tears against her shoulder.She tries to see what Reds hiding.* Capri: whats the gift? Red: "Well, you gave me half... I want to give you half." *pause* "but first... tell me;" *his eyes harden and grow cold* "someone made Tod into a vampire, or made the need for her to be one. Who was it and how to I kill the one responsible?" *coldly* "You said to become stronger. So... how?" *cold fades leaving only warmth* "and then I promise I'll give you my gift." Capri: Erik De Lavergne..Hes a vampire and more powerful the Rose. *She puts a hand on Red shoulder.* Capri: The only gift I need is seeing you happy Red. I will kill him myself. Red: *shakes head* "No, that wouldn't be right. Let me do it. Just... tell me, or... give me the power; no, I'll find the power myself." *stares into Capri's eyes* "I'll grow stronger... for myself. I'll... make you proud of me." *Capri makes a face.* Capri: I'm going Red. And nothing you can say can stop me. Besides. *she smiles.* Capri: I let you beat me. *She sticks out her tongue.* Capri: Your going to need all the help you can get to bring down someone of his calibur. *Red grabs her hand* "No, wait. Please?" *Red holds up her pearls* *Capri freezes in time.* Capri: I caint move..Red you caint fight this battle alone. Let me go and help you. Red: "I won't take him on until I'm ready. Just tell me how to do it." *pause* "No, I'll find out myself." *pauses again and stares deeper into her eyes* "Come here" *gently*
*Capri moves at Reds will.* Capri:Red! I told you to stop this! Let me go! Part of becomeing stronger is not always fighting by yourself! We can Get Rose, shark dude and stupid seagull guy for all I care. I'm not going to let you die out there!
*Red pulls her back into the bathtub and presses his lips onto hers, firmly* Capri: Red listen to me dammit! *Red releases her*
* Capri gasps for air.* Capri: Stupid pearls! *She starts destroying them.* Capri: Sorry Red. I'm not going to let you leave this room. Not until you calm down and start thinking about this with a clear mind. If you just fight Erik with the entire crew. That should beat him. well expect the cake guy and that iron man. they dont look very strong at all. Red: "I told you; I won't fight him until I'm stronger. You're the one being irrational. Do you really think I'm stupid enough to take on a vampire without luring him into a trap where he's rendered useless and unable to use his power? No, I'd lure him into a -" *eyes narrow* "...rum. Gunpowder. Say, vampires can't survive an explosion, can they?" Capri: I think that might work. But I have never seen a vampires soul so... *Capri mutters somthing about will takeing my work and haveing a ship or something like that.*
*Red takes her hands again and pulls her close* "We'll kill him; you and I then. I'll take his life, unlife, whatever it is, and you have his soul." *Smiles* "Deal?" Capri: Deal! *She smiles.* Capri:..but we might wont to get fully dresesd before a fight.. *She blushes and tries not to look at Red.* Red: "We're not fighting yet." *pulls her into the bath again* "We never finished."
*Capri faints out of exhaustion.*
*Red frowns; why couldn't she understand they weren't going to fight now? He pulls her into the bath.* Capri: Red i'm tried ok ah ahhhh but the water feals sooo good! *she starts sinking into the bath.*
*Red begins to wash her hair, sighing and shaking his head slightly. Taking her tentacles tenderly, he begins to wash those too, treating them more delicately than if they were made out of glass* *Capri blushes and just lets Red have his way. It did feal good after all.* *Red gives her a long look* "You started it," *mutters* "my turn, next." *Capri moans something about mercy but its to muffled to understand.* Capri: My turn. *She pulls Reds face close with her tentacles and starts washing/massaging Reds head with her hands.* *Red smiles* *Red holds the unbroken pearls in his hand, pressing them close to his heart for 'good luck'* Red: "So you finally yield." *smiles again* Capri: What! I never saied that! *she makes a bows her head to Red.* Capri: Not again!
*Red reaches out and takes one of her free tentacles, holding it gently in his free hand* "How long do these things go anyway?" Capri: Just this far. *She uses one of her tentacles to shut the door.* Capri: But seriously Red. We need to get rid of thease things. I dont want anybody controlling me. What if the seagull heads gets one of them. Or even Cthulhu! TT Red: "but... you gave it to me, for luck." *sighs* "I'll eat it." Capri: WHAT!? Red: "That way, no one can have it, an' it'll be in me, like you wanted. It's the only compromise; you know this." Capri: No! I'm sure there has to be another way. NO WAIT! *Red eats the pearl* Capri: TT
Red *rubs her shoulder* "Relax, it'll get eaten up. It'll be destroyed in a few hours, so... everything will be all right." Capri: I hope so TT Red: "Would I hurt you?" *stares at her eyes* Capri sighs: True. At least its you and not some prevert. *Capri pats Red on the head.* Capri: Did it taste good? Red *smiles* "Like salt, sort of, but also...." *tilts head* "can't describe it." *pauses* *wraps arms around Capri's neck and leans in and kisses her* "I'm not going to hurt you, or take advantage of you; the pearl's safe within me now. You can trust me, can't you?" Capri sighs: You say that but you keep kissing me and what not. *She slaps Red on the back.* Capri: Yeah I trust you Red. Just dont make a scene out in the open with this. Or My I mean Deaths name whould be put to shame. Red *laughs* "You needed a kiss; you were getting all mopey. 'Sides, you're a friend," *looks away* "I wouldn't shame you in public." *chuckles to himself* "I thought you enjoyed being kissed?"

Ginko smiled meekly over Cleaver's cleaver. "Now now, I'm sure we can work this out." Cleaver; Kishikshikshi TALK IS MEANINGLESS! *He licks the blade.* DIE! *He lunges at Ginko.* He squirms out of the way of his cleaver by a fraction of an inch. "You know, you'd feel a lot better-" He slips under another blow. "-with out this." He stood and plucked the fork from Cleaver's forehead. Cleaver: FUCK! *He backs off and checks his bloody head.* Cleaver: HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN THERE? *Blackbeard starts laughing.* Cleaver: SON OF BITCH! SO IT WAS YOU HUH YOU FAT DRUNK! Blackbeard: Chill Cleaver! gah! *Cleaver starts throwing cleaver at Blackbeard and Randomman.* Randomman: Gah! What did I do cakebrother! TT *Blackbeard and Randomman hid behind a overturned table.* Blackbeard: Crazy drunk shark! *Sweatdrop* Ginko stands holding the fork, wondering if there is a mushi that would be useful against cleavers. Suddenly, he drops the fork and pops open his box, plucking out the jar that he'd put the nekonomi in. He poured the cat-like mushi onto the mad-cleaver-wielding-pirate's head. The terrorized mushi clung onto Cleaver's head instantly, completely transforming him into a cat. Cleaver: MEOW!? *Cleaver looks at himself in horror he starts unleashing his limitless rage upon Ginkos shoe lace. Randomman and Blackbeard come out slowly from there hiding space.* Blackbeard: Is the nightmare over? TT Randomman: I think so..awww look Cleaver playing with cakebrother Ginko! *Cleaver starts meowing at Randomman to show his distaste with his current situation.* Ginko sighs in relief. Why do half the people he cures end up trying to kill him? He leans down and pets Cleaver, who can't help purring despite his rage. "I'm not turning you back until you promise to stop trying to kill whoever's in the same room as you..." *Cleaver childlessy bites Ginko on the hand defiance.* "Ok, I guess you can just stay like that then." He downs his mug of rum and straightens. "Thanks bearface." He starts to make his way out of the rum storage. *Cleaver runs after Ginko and bites at his pants leg as if he could pull him back.* Ginko attempts to super ignore him. A swarm of mushi starts to buzz around him. He starts to roll a new cigarette than stops, glaring down at Cleaver. "This is your fault." *Cleaver hisses at Ginko but stops and starts trying to spat at the cigarette.* *Cleaver bites at Ginkos finger but Ginko just rises him up like he caught some kind fish.* "You never give up do you?" He walks out onto the deck to escape the mushi that'd been attracted to him belowdecks. The seabreeze seemed to keep most of them away, for now. "I wonder if that cake guy still doesn't mind me crashing in his cabin. Might be kinda awkward with that girl-friend of his don't you think whiskers?" He asked Cleaver. *Cleaver still leaching off of Ginko meows in some kind of response. A little maid comes running across the deck her face full of tears.* Emma: Mr. Kitty! Unhand him right now you brut! *Cleaver lets up of Ginko and crawls on top of ginkos shoulder to hide.* "Er...I'm sorry miss but...this uh...isn't your cat..." *Emma starts crying and trying to fight the nasty kidnaper by pokeing him with her broom.* Emma: ye yes he is! And shame on you sir for kidnapping Mr. Kitty! *Emma tries to hit Ginko on the head but the blow is stopped by a whip.* Emma: Mi mistress! Bomber: Emma its all right you can go back home now. Emma: But.. *Bomber gives her a look.* Emma: yes yes mistress.. *She walks back to her room.* *Bomber holds out her hand.* Bomber: If you don’t mind. I would like my cute little kitty back now. *She gives Ginko a wink. Cleaver meows in fright.* "Er..." Was she in her night clothes? "He's not a cat ma'am it's hard to explain but... I can't hand him over to you." Bomber: Fufufufu I can see that Mr. ginko. I would just like to se my husband back in loveing care thats all. *She fakes a tear drop.* Bomber: It's been so lonely without him. *Cleaver starts meowing up a rage like no other.* "Your...oh..." He plucks Cleaver off of his shoulder awkwardly and hands him to Bomber. "Would you like to buy some of the medicine to cure him? also if you don't mind, please tell him to stop trying to kill me whenever he's human..." *Bomber buys the medicine. And turns to leave with a wicked smile on her face.* Bomber: It was nice doing business with you Mr. Ginko. *she blows him a goodbye kiss. as Cleaver puts on sad kitty face at seeing Ginko not doing anything to help him out.* He wanders back to the rum storage to see if Randomman is still there. *Randomman tackles Ginko into a hug like hold.* Randomman: Cakebrother Ginko! What did you do! TT Ginko struggles not to fall in Randomman's grip. "Huh?" Randomman: Why did you turn my cakebrother in like that?! TT *Randomman dives into imagination land.* Randomman: What horrors have we left poor Cleaver to! TT *Cleaver was enjoying a bowel of warm milk.Emma pets Cleaver on the head.* Emma: Thank you mistress Bomber! *Bomber takes out her pipe and smiles.* Bomber: Fufufu just makeing sure everyone in line how want theam Emma. *She goes back to smokeing.The scene turns back to Rum storage.* Randomman: He must be in bunch of trouble! wait whats that? *Randomman puts his hand to his ear.* Randomman: It's Cakebrother Cleaver! I can hear him meowing for help! TT "Snap out of it, it was just his wife. What's the worse that could happen?" Randomman:Bu but Cakebrother Ginko! TT *Randomman gives him a sad look that almost looks strangely cat like.* Things just keep getting weirder and weirder.... "He'll be fine. Don't worry about him, he's tough. Want...to hear more mushi stories?" *Randomman starts wiping his tears.* Randomman: o ok TT *Blackbeard looks away so he wont get all emotionally to.* "What is with you guys..." He sits down with them and scratches his head, wondering what on earth could lighten their mood. "Oh that. His wife bought almost all my nekonomi remedy so relax, she could cure him if he got infected everyday for the rest of his life...if she wants..." Has a funny feeling she might choose to use the mushi for her own devious intentions. *Randomman jumps on top of the table.* Randomman: Hotshot! *Blackbeard smiles.* Blackbeard: Ginko thanks. If you dont have any place to stay you can hang out here. but dont think you can have any free drinks or anything like that! *Randomman holds onto Ginkos arm.* Randomman: But cakebrother Ginko staying with me! Right Ginko san? " er 'san' it's not like you have to be formal or anything... Sure, if it's still alright with you and that girl." Randomman: Woot! lets go back home right now cakebrother Ginko! *He grabs Ginko hand and runs out the door.* Blackbeard: Oy! You forgot to pay! *Meenwhile back at the killer cave.* Bomber: Hey Emma drink this for me. *She holds out a cup with some unkown content.* Emma: what is it? Bomber: it's juice. drink it. Emma: oh ok. *Emma drinks the vile drink.* Emma: Mi mistress its warm and sticky! TT Bomber: yah yah *she smiles.* Bomber to herself: These mushi things are very interesting. Right mushi-shi Ginko? (gasp what is the vile Bomber up to? Tune in next time! From the Mushi cake tv station!)
