Sailing

[Scarlet]

Scarlet laughed weakly. " Well, it just so happens he and I aren't on the friendliest of terms as of now." She said, hoping he might offer to fight on her side, if the need should arise. Though it was much to ask, him putting his crew and himself in so much danger for some random Captain they just met. She hoped that if he did decide to take her side, they could talk it out with Thaiden and not have a bloody battle on thier hands. If not, she would have to do her best to convince Thaiden that neither of them had the crew and money to waste on a pointless battle....

[Skipper Of Sea Otters]

"Well thats no good then...I can almost sniff that you want me and my Triple Cannons ,aye? Perhaps a broadside attack with all barrels if needed 'eh?" He said pausing to think a monument. "Tell ye what...If need be we'll give ye support...I trust ye enough to call you friend..." he said grabbing his fishing knife. "Now get over here a Lets fish! Baha!" he said with a laugh, jumping into the water.

[Firestripe]

*Firestripe walked over to the rails and glanced down into the sea where the otter had dived into it, still a couple of ripples to be seen. He turned back to Scarlet with a frown on his face* "I still don't think this is a good idea... either way, I don't think you'll be diving in after him. Probably best to drop the jollyboat down." *He wasn't about to issue the order himself though, not with the captain standing right there and it concerning her safety. So in saying, he stood there silently, waiting for her orders.*

[Skipper Of Sea Otters]

((To Dantin: mind if I do a minor g-mod?))


The Skipper popped out of the water with a fish in his mouth. He grabbed it and looked at it adn back up at Dantin Perhaps he feels left out... he thought.

He took the fish and threw it at Dantin hitting him square in the face. "C'mon mate! Cmon in! Plenty a fish for all! Baha!"

[Firestripe]

OOC: No *gets smacked by fish* Ok, now I do! Oh, and by the by, he goes by Firestripe, not Dantin.

*Firestripe hated getting mocked by anybeast, whether it was out of spite or just out of fun. He caught the fish that had hit him and squeezed it in his right paw untill all that was left was a pulverised lump of what used to be a fish. He dropped the remains back over board and stepped away from the rail, resisting the urge to jump in the sea and try to beat the heck out of the Skipper. His paws were clenched and shaking with barely checked fury as he stepped back, his face was surprisingly calm looking, hiding beneath it a temper that could turn this meeting into a blood bath. That was the main reason he decided to not fight, there would be a terrible loss of life on their crew and they really didn't need that right now. He felt that he was doing a somewhat honorable thing by having his pride stained and save the crew rather than the other option, seeing as how he held his pride in a very high position on his list of important things and almost everybeast on the Nightpearl knew it.*

[Scarlet]

Scar immediately set her face to hide any emotions that were racing through her veins at the moment. Inside, though, she felt like laughing out loud at Firestripe, for even though she has an extremely explosive temper herself, she can't help but laugh at others anger. Soon, though, her urge to laugh at Firestripe passed. She leaned out over the rail and looked down at Skipper, a slight smile making the corners of her mouth twitch. " Ah, matey, we'll be down in the jollyboat soon ta join ya." She said, then turned back to Firestripe. " Firestripe, come on, lets get the jollyboat down and fish, eh?" She said, patting him on the back. With Firestripe, she understood his pride and knew when something had hurt it.

[Firestripe]

*Firestripe crossed his arms across his chest, still a good deal angry and still not thinking that this was a good idea. With his folded arms and a now somewhat angry look on his face, he made a rather imposing figure and his voice had a tinge of a menacing tone in it as he called out to a couple of lounging crew.* "What do you think your doing just sitting around, huh? Get the jollyboat ready for launch!" *They immidiatly jumped to their task, not wanting to get on Firestripe's bad side.*

[Scarlet]

Scar shook her head, slightly amused at the crew running around to do what Firestripe ordered before he got really angry. Soon the crew had the fishing supplies tucked away under the jollyboat's seat and were ready to lower her and Firestripe down. Scar was looking forward to a swim, as the water was calm after the storm. She took off her jewelry and stashed it into her purse, then unhooked the purse from her sash and tucked it away in the jollyboat. She then took off her sash, for when it got wet it was extremely heavy. Soon she was ready to swim in just her trousers and blouse. She had fallen out of the habit of wearing boots months ago, her foot paws bare in the sunlight. She hopped into the jollyboat with graceful ease. " Come on, Firestripe, and bring old Fegrit and Lekam with ya! " She said cheerily to Firestripe. Fegrit and Lekam were two water rats, excelent fishers and good, trustworthy crewbeasts.

[Skipper Of Sea Otters]

The Skipper Had already caught about 7 fish by the time the others got down to them. Several other otters jumped in which made a total of fifteen otters fishing. One would climb out and another would jump in. They all went about thier fishing duties. Some had the fish and were throwing them to each other hitting them in the faces. Another fish was thrown from an otter and almost hit Firestripe in the back of the head this time.

The Skipper dived down again and rose to the top this time bleeding from his forearm. "Scurvy little..." he dove down and rose back about a minutes later with a long fish with razor teeth.

[Firestripe]

OOC: Ok seriously, stop g-modding. Firestripe can dodge a fish. Also, we're not in the water with the boat yet.

*Firestripe nodded and turned to the crew. He spotted the two water rats in question.* "Fegrit, Lekam, get in the boat. We're doing a bit of fishing." *They grinned and got in the boat readily, they really liked to fish. Firestripe, himself, never wore his purse while on board; it was safely hidden in his room. At the moment, he had his usual dress on including his battlesword strapped to his back and his dual six-barraled guns in a holster on each hip. He removed his gun belt and his sword belt, which was what held his sword strapped to his back, and put them in the boat. He then pulled off his shirt, revealing a very well muscled torso, and left it on the Nightpearl. Shirts big enough for his immense size were few and far between and this one happened to be one of his better ones. It being not as badly frayed and all. He then climbed into the jollyboat.* "OK, I think we're set to launch."
