Pirates!

[Somefreakoverthere]

Linda groaned,rolled over and threw up.It never took herself long to wake herself up,some things you can't help.

"Mutiny?Thats one thing they never even though of..."

Linda murmered as she sat up,blinking as her mind did a check up.She looked at her side and grabbed the hook,twisting the screaming metal until the thing only had three barbed limbs attached to it.She handed it to obed,with about a meter of cord still attacked to it.

"Thats one advantage of having a metal arm,even if it did cost me my freedom.Lep,go find a knife and bring it back sharpish.I SAID DO IT.Oh,and your holding my answer.He's hit on me and winked stupidly one too many times for my liking,so my answer is go for it.They saw you making sure that i was okay,and a few weeks back you caught that man trieing to sell us rotting meat.They're beging to turn to you insted of whathisname up there.Typical of him,he's drunk that whole bottle of run all at once..."

Linda watched andrew before retching.

[Leporidae]

((Ack! Sorry, I was busy latley so I didn't get time to post. Ah well, one thing at a time))

Lep grabbed the bottle from Obed, smiling. The problem was, she was drousy and her sight wasn't as nearly as good. So it took a good long time to find Linda. She approched Linda and applied the salt just the same, whenever she was really awake or not. Lep gave a thumbs up tiredly to Obed. Then she starts walking around, looking for a dagger and the likes.

[Angel]

*under commands from their Captain one of Angels men drags her to the mast and props her up, careful not to touch her wings. unconcious or not that is a death sentance. another man brings a steaming flask, wraped in dark cloth and held in tongs, up from below deck.

the battle has died down a bit now, with the Serpent seemingly out of the action, and the Bloody Angel has pulled away from her. the Devil bear is still close but the wind is pulling the Angel further and further away, without his main battle force, the muskateers and their comander, Argus contemplates running for it. the twisted honour of his kind tells him to stay though and he orders a full about, he turns the ship to head straight for the Bear and give them a dificult target.

at the mast the man edges carefully, so as to not spill any of the scorching drink, towards Angel. he tips her head back and pours the acid smeling stuff down her throat, she coughs and splutters as she comes to her senses. some of the drink spills onto the deck and burns a hole right through the wood. Angel swears loudly and graphicly*

that was a damn dirty trick... *cough* i hate this stuff, pass it here.. come on man!

*the man still holding the flask hands it over hurredly and flees. she pours a little of it on her bleeding arm, which begins to smoke, and drinks the rest fumeing quietly at whoever cast the spell*

Obed says to Lep and Linda,

"Talk to some of your most trusted friends, and meet me in less than fifteen minutes down at the armory room by the weapons locker.
We have to act fast, we are coming around for another pass at the Bloody Angel, and I want us to have control of the ship before then. He could make fatal decisions if he is still in charge."

[Somefreakoverthere]

"I refuse to be on deck while it happens.I've seen too many creatures die to happily watch another.And what i'm about to do might freak you out.LEP!I SAID GET A KNIFE NOT STRECH YOUR LEGS."

Linda's shout had been heard by another crew member who rushed forward with a small sharp dagger.

"Thank you liam,NOW GET BACK TO YOUR POST!WE ARE OFFSKI AS OF NOW!"

Linda sent a glance at Obed that said "Get us out of here now,i'm not going to loose my chest to that rabble."

She quitely started cutting off some off her skin from her left arm.It slid off after a few tugs,reveling dull metal.She could feel a tear rolling down her cheek,bringing memorys with it.One in particular re-enacted itself for her...

Her best friend being assimaleted so she could escape the borgs...

She opened her mouth and screamed,dropping the blade as the memory kept playing itself infront of her.She was forced to watch the borgs projections sink in,forced to hear brock shout something like "Run" at her,forced to relive the moment again and again.

To obed it would lok like she was freaking out over nothing at all and was just sitting there,crying and shaking without being able to see a thing around her.

[Leporidae]

Lep mumbes to herself "Argh, what's up with all of these demands? I'm a spooter, not a slave. Speaking of witch, why am I down here? Oh yea, the stupid canoon ball almost hitted me and I flew down here." Then she found a sutible knife, but anouther crew member called Liam grabbed it first and brought it to Linda, taking away Lep's credit to her drag. She was underpressed with even more stress when the more polite Obed gave a seemingly simple order. "Obed, sir. I . . . I don't know anyone but the members of our crew. Arr, I even can't name more then half of the crew members. I only remember the names of the ships, your name, my name, and Linda's name. Gets lonley being as a spotter up their, you know?" Lep was not trying to get away with anything. It was the truth.

[Shine]

Obed looked at Linda - so, she wouldn't take part in an outright rebellion, strange for a pirate to want to avoid the sight of blood??....
but so be it, Then she screamed and started to shake and freak out over absolutely nothing,

Then he saw the metal in her arm.

"Pull yourself together, good woman, It looks like youv'e been through worse things than what we are up against now."

Obed noticed the Captain pass out, drunk, sitting on a stool, near a rail, near the wheel.

"Lep, my good spoter, help me get our drunk Captain down to the brig and into the chains, it appears he has helped us in our mutiny. Shoud he rouse, tell him we won and we are going to celebrate with a good meal and a barrel of grog. Linda, if you are up to it, come along as well."

Obed (and Lep? and Linda?) went up to where the Captain was snoreing loudly and began to "help" the Captain below decks."

[Angel]

*Argus, the captain, drags Angel to her feet. he is one amongst an elete few who can touch her without fearing imanent death, she thinks muzzily about how he got that privalage, saving her life being the main one. he props her against the rail and makes her focus on the enimy ship.*

now, lass. what d'ya see?

*she looks at it blankly for a bit, looks back at him then looks again. it seems slightly less chaotic than usual for the Bear...*

tha ole cap'n over there, ee aint in charge no more, he aint got the sense to cut graplers, understand?

*she nodds, not quite so out of it now,* what if... what if who ever's in charge'll bargain with us? we need some suplies, they're after guns and weapons...

*the captain nodds encoragingly. he leaves her at the rail and orders the sails slackened, the Bloody Angel slows slightly and he pilots her slightly starboard, to pass the Bears stern*

[Shine]

It has taken some time for the Devil Bear to turn in preparation for another round of attack at the Bloody Angel. As that ship has changed course as well, they are soon to end up side by side facing in opposite directions.

Obed emerged from below decks wearing the captains hat and pistol set. He was also carrying the captain's headless body. He flew up and tied it hanging down from the yard-arm for all to see.

He called to the crew "I am the Captain now and if you don't like that you are welcome to take to the dingies and try your fates at the open ocean, but if you stay, your share of the booty will remain the same, plus we will all share in equal draws from the Captain's treasure chest, drawing in order of rank."

As there had been no shots from the Bloody Angel, he held his fire and examined its deck through his new spyglass.

((Devil Bear crew members:
-In your next post tell me what you want your new rank to be and describe one new item you want to have drawn from the Captains "treasure chest". Obed took a very fancy, and precision, set of two pistols, They are a black gunmetal in color, and have white ivory handles with a large ruby inset on each side of the handles. They have both a fancy wooden case with blue velvet inside, and, leather holster and ammo straps that x-cross the chest. They can shoot a fairly large lead ball a fairly long distance with excellent accuracy. You like?? Go ahead, be creative, this captain was rich!!!! ))

Linda Felt sick as she stood beside obed,holding the captains head.She was now first mate,and very unhappy.She'd just helped kill one of her own kind.She had hit him with assimalation nanites before she'd knocked him out cold.

She'd take a saphire necklase for sirus and a emerald ring for herself.Her gut was really hurting,and forced her to her knees in pain.

[Leporidae]

Lep had to look out from up high no more, she was now second mate. With much regoicing, she pulled out something of use . . . a enchanted harpoon. She placed it to where it slung onto her back. Looking carefully, she found a label stuck near the trigger:

Enchanted Harpoon

Its a regular harpoon in everyway,
except better. To use it's special
features, charge it up before shooting
to make a heavier blow onto your
target. Charging takes about 3-5 posts.

Lep smirks, so far she is enjoying the wepond she picked out of the tresure chest. She walks out of the long line of crew members, waiting to get into the tresure chest themselfs. She never saw this coming . . . the old drunk captin and all. But hey, he was drunk too much of the time anyway. Besides, the harpoon and the promotion was a nice addition.

As the two ships draw parallel, neither having yet fired a shot, Obed strides up to the rudder wheel on the Top Deck, sraightens the new Captain's hat on his head and calls out to the Bloody Angel-

"Are ye'h interested in a brief parle' afore we send one or the other of us to the deeps?"
