Sunny listens to the little critters outburst, hiding some small amount behind the frendly lass away from the angry shouting words. Her large blue eyes watch Zagrob before neing drawn back to one of the humans who's now adressing herself...
.... As he takes a swig of rum, "So I be Reijo." Offering a sip to each as they wish, he asks with apparent sarcasm regarding the ship's quality, "So what brings ye all ta this fine prize ov'a creaky merchanter?"
She blinks.... blinks some more... then steps forwards and pokes Reijo firmly in the chest.
"You! You is a Ree-joe! You is why I wus stabbed in a face!" She exclaims loudly, setting her hands upon her hips.
"Some piece a floatsam you be!" She huffs, "Causin' peoples an' Kin ta' be all stab-ed in'a face." Her eyes narrow.
"How does we know ye in't one a them... Pirates...?" Her voice takes on a lower, not possibly threatening surely, tone....
Nhati feels a pang of both betrayal and guilt as the goblin storms off. Her first reaction was to think Hey! I wasn't mean to him! Why is he including me in this? followed by Wait, was I? What did I say?
Seeing Shae go after the goblin, she decides not to muddy those waters.
Nhati looks at Sunny and says, "Eh, he didn't do it on purpose. He was just trying to get away from some, er, bad people. I can understand."
She turns to Reijo. "I'm Nhati, and this..."
She gestures to the parrot on her shoulder.
"...is Tai. We figured it was time to leave Magnimar and see other places in the world."
She gestures vaguely.
"I'm originally from Garund, in any event. So, I guess I'm going home."
"I'm Nhati, and this..."
She gestures to the parrot on her shoulder.
"...is Tai. We figured it was time to leave Magnimar and see other places in the world."
She gestures vaguely.
"I'm originally from Garund, in any event. So, I guess I'm going home."
Upon the parrot being pointed out to herself, Sunny's demeanour changes instantly. (^_^)
She emits a quiet 'Squee' and bounces closer to Tai, leaning in and murmering quiet sounds... while making sure than none of her naturally tanned extremities come any where near the 'Power shears' that are Tai's beak untill the parrot's inclinations and intentions are well known.
Thurden stops and takes the offered rum and takes a long pull off the bottle before replying. 'Thurden, just looking to get anywhere but Magnimarr' the dwarf spits at the mention of the town and takes another long pull from the bottle and hands it back to the man. 'Looks like you brought your shore trouble aboard with you. That's bad form, boy-o'
Thurden stretches up and extends a finger for Tai to nibble on as a way of saying hello to the bird. 'How long you had him?'
The parrot cocks his head and looks at Sunny as she comes closer. He says something... but it's in polyglot. Nhati rolls her eyes when she hears it.
"Hello, enthusiastic elf. I am Tai. Nahti here is my familiar."
To Thurden, Nhati says, "When I was training as an arcanist in Nantmbu, Tai actually found me one day when I was poring over a particularly heavy set of old arcane tomes. Fluttered in and started looking at the tomes himself, before declaring them boring. This was a couple of years ago. We've been bonded ever since."
Sunny giggles and gently offers to stroke the pretty bird's chest/tummy.
"Pretty birdy" (^_^)
As Sunny recognizes his own name, he corrects her pronunciation. "Now ye says Ray-yo, love. An' roll the 'r', like..."
And then he's interrupted by her angry accusations and poking. He reacts to it with a mixture of delight and defensiveness, "Oi there Saucy! Now I didn't bloody well stab ye in the face, love. A bloody Sczarni dungbie did!"
Concerning her accusation of him possibly being a pirate, he quickly glances around suspiciously before loudly whispering back, "Eh now! Don't be sayin' that too loudly! No tellin' whut funny ideas lubbers be havin' about me if they hears yer... slander."
Chiming in on Nhati's more positive outlook on the search for Reijo, he grins. "Aye. Naughty, eh? Love the name..." he says, seeming to relish a private thought or two while looking the attractive woman up and down for a moment. He continues, "And exactly right! I was just mindin' me own business, playin' a game o'cards and havin' me a good 'ole time last night, when these piccaroons all got it in their bloody heads ta take an unlikin' ta poor ole Reijo, now."
To Thurden, Reijo nods knowingly. "Aye matey. Me too. I've had enough o'this bloody place meself. An' if'n this be-barnacled hunk o'junk woulda left shore on time, it woulda been much better form ye know."
Zakgrob had made his way to the far side of the ship and was looking angrily out over the water. He heard the person approaching a while before he could have seen them. He turned to look at them with a knife still in hand and a glare in his eyes. "Come t'make more fun, insult more or maybe toss off ship?"
However, he listened to what she had to say and lowered the knife. He shook his head. "Zakgrob not sewer goblin." This was said with obvious distate. "Zakgrob born on ship. Zakgrob sailor and cook." He lifted his chin with pride.
He regarded her for a long moment and then shrugged. "If Zakgrob snap and kill everyone one day, he kill you last, just before Mwangi woman and not-dinner bird."
He hopped down and walked back towards the group of people. He fixed Reijo with a stare. "Zakgrob not like you, troubleman, but Zakgrob not kill you today. You bring more trouble or hurl more insults at Zakgrob, all bets off and Zakgrob kill you in your sleep." He flipped the dagger in to the air with the ease of years of practice and then whisked it away once more.

He flipped the dagger in to the air with the ease of years of practice and then whisked it away once more.
With her attention brought back to Reijo by the little... critter... Sunny turns from admiring the pretty birdy and nods in agreement.
"Aye! I dun't like people whut is gettin' me stab-ed in'a face." She again waves a finger at Reijo
"You has got'a be doin' a lot'a right things afore we is movin' ta' callin' each other freinds, like." She huffs before dropping down besides Zalgrob and extending a slim, tanned hand.
"Hey-YA there! I am bein' called Sunny in'a speakin' of tha' peoples!" (^_^)
"It's more Na-HA-ti," Nhati says to Reijo. "Not really three syllables, but more than two. Call it two and a half."
She smiles and grins. "But, whatever."
When Zakgrob comes back and Nahti hears what he says, she responds, "Aw, that's nice! If I snap and kill everybody, I'll kill you last too. Well, except for Tai."
Tai givers her a brief shocked look.
Sunny scratches her blond mop.
"I dun't think I be un'erstandin' tha' peoples speakin'..." She mutters...
Concerning her accusation of him possibly being a pirate, he quickly glances around suspiciously before loudly whispering back, "Eh now! Don't be sayin' that too loudly! No tellin' whut funny ideas lubbers be havin' about me if they hears yer... slander."
At this Bellamy choke, spit out his pipe and doubled over laughing.
"HEE he he he he he he he he!" He laughed, slapping his thigh."Reijo... mindin' 'is own business! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!"
At this point the wind freshened enough to catch the sails now aloft, and the ship heeled and came alive under your feet. The ship picked up speed and started passing other ships as she made her way past the ruins of the Irespan, the titanic bridge (now fallen) built in the time of ancient Thassilon.
You hadn’t realized how much of the stink of smoke, horse manure and rancid human sweat had pervaded the city air until it had been replaced by the smell of the sea.
The ship dipped and rose again as she hit the first swells of the open ocean. The noise and shouts of the petty city concerns fell behind you as your voyage has well and truly begun!
Yay! (^_^)
Yeoman Azuretta, the same girl who examined your tickets came back on deck.
"Attention passengers! If you'll come with me, I'll show you to your cabins." She said, gesturing for you to follow.
Proceeding aft down the portside ladderway, she led you to officers' country; a block of cabins under the poop deck and the Captain's cabin.
From a central passageway a number of closet sized cabins.
Each cabin came with a bunk, a sea-chest, a narrow closet, a chest of drawers, a washbasin and a water pitcher. Each is lit with a small hurricane oil lamp.
Full aft the passageway exits into a kind of common room, with tables, lamps and seats for everyone. There are maps and books in cabinets here, a port and starboard weatherproofed water closet (basically a hole in a plank overhanging the water), and glassed windows giving a wavering view overlooking the water.
"I hope you take the time to unpack and get used to your accommodations." She said. "The Captain has asked all passengers to dine with him this evening, so I hope to see you all there!"
Sunny happily skips along in the lass' wake. 'Oo-ing' and 'Ahhh-ing' at all there is to see.
Upon being bequeathed a cabin the tanned Elf hops up onto the bunk and settles in. (^_^)
Thurden finds the galley easily enough; the obnoxious smell giving away its position in the focsle.
Opening the hatch, your first impression is that an explosion had occurred and scattered all the food and implements randomly.
You see the ships cook shouting at a couple of swabbies as she stirred a heating pot with one hand and swung a fry pan at they with the other. The swabbies resentfully went about trying to obey the cook fixing a meal while trying to clean up as well; trying to do both is clearly not working out from an efficiency point of view.
The ship's cook is a one-eyed dwarf woman with a muscular physique and a mean glint in her eye. Her time at sea has not been kind to her, and in addition to her tattered eye patch, she sports a mouth of silvered
teeth, a nasty scar on her cheek, and is missing half of her left ear.
When you open the hatch she is shouting something about "... where the HELL my FISH is! Without that tell 'is nibs he's gonna be eatin' nothin' but portable soup for six months!"
Spotting you, she turned to face you.
"WHAT!" She shouted at you.
Realizing that Sunny in her naked state was a tremendous distraction to the crew, Azuretta grabbed Sunny, threw a blanket over her and hustled her below first.
After showing her the 'stateroom', she hesitated.
"Honey, do you have any clothes to wear? I have some I could loan you; we seem to be the same size." She said sympathetically.

Sunny 'Eeeks' and giggles at the 'Blanket' treatment. (^_^)
She shakes her blond mop, "I is bein' called 'Suny' in'a speakin' of tha' peoples. Not 'Honey'..." Though she tilts her head.
"Though it does sound right similar though....." Then Sunny blinks..
"Um.. I got stuffs...?" She explains and opens her rucksack into the smal bed to display its contents; Mstwk Net, Assorted jewelry, Silk rope, Leather gloves, Two wooden sticks.
Sunny grins proudly at her collection.
Azuretta clucked with disapproval.
"No. That won't do at all. Be right back!"
She returned a few minutes later with a couple of sets that fit Sunny.
Aside from the appropriate smallclothes, she got you:
*One is an off the shoulder silk peasant blouse, a flattering low cut leather corset and full skirt.
*The other is a silk warm weather pirates' outfit (sexily cut).
She looks at your feet critically.
"Do you want footwear too? You look like a barefoot all the time girl, but I'll offer anyway."
Reijo's expression grows extraordinarily grim. So grim, it's as if the god of death himself were staring back into Zakgrob's eyes as he leans in closer. Even his deepened voice is as gravelly as the grave.
"Not if I don't kill ye first."
After a long and most uncomfortable stare at Zakgrob, Reijo breaks the stare with a smirk. "But I won't. I like yer style, Ratty."
After breaking off for a short while, he chuckles to himself. "'Kill you in yer sleep...' heh he he."
...
When Bellamy doubles over, Reijo innocently looks back at his old friend with genuine confusion. "Whut be the hilarity in that, ye old seadog? Hoisted yer mizzen b'fore weighin' yer anchor have ye?"
...
In response to the tanned nekkid elf, her anger seems to have an unintended effect on the salty sailor. Reijo's gaze drifts downwards, giving her tanned body a once-over. His expression grows more pleased.
When Nhati follows up, Reijo turns to respond to both women.
"Well no time like the present ta be doin' right by ye, loves. So, speakin' of bein' friendly, whaddya say I give ye both a friendly escort below decks to yer cabins?"
He then gives them both a wink after taking in a breath of the newly freshened air as the ship takes off. He steps between the two, and raises his arms for each to link elbows with him. Reijo might seem quite the proper gentleman, were it not for his slightly overzealous grin and motley attire (still dripping from his little swim).
And when Azuretta mentions the cabins too, Reijo gives her a pleased once-over too. "Aye, love. Lead the way," he says while admiring her from the rear.
'All this talk of stabbin' and who'll be killin' who in their sleep be bloody turnin' me on...'
Azuretta clucked with disapproval.
"No. That won't do at all. Be right back!"
She returned a few minutes later with a couple of sets that fit Sunny.
Aside from the appropriate smallclothes, she got you:
*One is an off the shoulder silk peasant blouse, a flattering low cut leather corset and full skirt.
*The other is a silk warm weather pirates' outfit (sexily cut).
She looks at your feet critically.
"Do you want footwear too? You look like a barefoot all the time girl, but I'll offer anyway."
Sunny follows Azuretta's gaze down to her tanned feet and wriggles her toes. (^_^)
Sunny chooses the silk garments and gladly, easily allows Azuretta put said clothes about her naturally tanned self. She nods at Azuretta's assment.
"Aye.. I dun't un'erstand people's wantin' with tha' drapin'." She indicates the clothes she's now covered in.
"Seems ta' me that t'is all jus' gon'a get in'a way when a bod is swimmin' in'a water." She explains with a nods... then throws herself at Azuretta to envelope th other woman in a great hug. (^_^)
Shaedeen spends much of her time in the common room, perusing the maps there to get a better idea of where this Sargava place is in relation to Magnimar and to learn what she can of the lands that lie between these two places. It doesn't take long, however, for the unfamiliar rocking and tossing of the ship to make her feel queasy; then then spends most of her time kneeling before one of the holes in the floor of the water closets puking her guts out or in her bunk, futilely hoping she'll feel better with rest.
Thurden finds the galley easily enough; the obnoxious smell giving away its position in the focsle.
Opening the hatch, your first impression is that an explosion had occurred and scattered all the food and implements randomly.
You see the ships cook shouting at a couple of swabbies as she stirred a heating pot with one hand and swung a fry pan at they with the other.

Spotting you, she turned to face you.
"WHAT!" She shouted at you.
Thurden slowly takes his eyes on a tour of the galley, wincing at almost every aspect of the ship's food service.
The one-eyes woman's sharp question startled him from his shocked state 'Awful lotta pots and pans for a laundry.' Salt remains standing in the hatch, glaring at the woman.
Zakgrob, having said his piece to Reijo, seemed to pay the man no more mind or attention at all. almost to the point of ignoring him, as if perhaps the pirate had made an enemy and they were in a cold war at the moment.
He turned Nhati and her bird, but before he could say anything the group of them were being lead down below decks to their cabins. He walked along and entered the room he was to be staying at. He gawked openly, mouth dropped wide and eyes bugging out. There was just so much SPACE! 10 goblins could sleep in the room!
"Zakgrob be...sharing with others?" He asked tentatively.
He shook his head and began to slowly inspect the entire room in detail for the next few hours.
Sunny skips back, away from Azuretta giggling and bouncing with glee. (^_^)
She spins in place, both to show off the things wrapped about herself by Azuretta as much to try and look as much of herself at the same time.
Jumping back onto Azuretta Sunny again gives the other woman a feirce hug of thanks before launching out of the small room and caroming about the companion way loking, peering and otherwise seeing all there is to see about this new place aboard ship.
(^_^)
Nhati nods her thans to Azuretta as she goes into her cabin. (Do we have portholes in our cabins?)
"Home sweet home, Tai," she says. "At least for the next... what, months? However long it takes to get back south."
The parrot keeps an inscrutable look on his face.
She stows her gear and heads back into the lower deck of the ship, parrot on shoulder. "I'd be delighted to join the captain at dinner," Nhati tells Azuretta.
She winces when she hears the noise from the kitchen, but avoids heading in that direction. Rather, she heads towards the common room, interested in the maps that Shadeen is studying, and also interested to see what books the captain has here on his ship.
Sunny skips back out into the companion-way and bounces off randomly into another person's cabin for a look around.
1)Nhati,2)Shaedeen,3)Reijo,4)Zakgrob,5)Bellamy,6)Thurden,
Appearing besides Nhati and Tai just before the other owman hades off towards other parts of the ship. The tanned, but now draped, Elf grins and giggles brighty as she looks about at the other pair's new abode.
"Ah! Is jus' like tha' one I bin give-d." She points out cheerfully then blinks as she looks at them for a moment before puffing her chest out and pointing to herself seemingly proudly.
"I has got but-ons!" She indicates some of the acoutrements about her new atire with gusto. (^_^)
Having puked and puked 'til she couldn't puke no more, Shaedeen gets a bit of sleep before forcing herself up in time for dinner with the Captain and other passengers. Though the thought of food makes her queasy stomach growl, she knows that needs to make a good impression and doesn't want to make enemies (as she almost did with the goblin passenger) this early in what promises to be a long voyage on a crowded ship.
Slipping her dagger into a boot, Shae removes the top half of her suit of studded leather and places it in her footlocker, opting to wear a plain, non-threatening white blouse over her leather breeches.
Be nice to the others, she mentally reminds herself. And try not to puke on the captain, his officers, or the food on the table.
"Free food and drink? Count me in," he gruffly accepts the captain's dinner invitation.
Reijo closes the door to his new cabin. He checks out everything in it with a suspicious glare for a long moment. Eventually, he grunts his approval, and lights up his pipe whilst looking meditatively out of his porthole.
The bulk of his (not particularly valuable) gear stowed away in his cabin, Reijo opts to roam the ship. Primarily, he seeks to assess if the crew is as inexperienced as they appear to be. Considering how badly they care for the ship, with the barnacles and other signs of negligence he's seen thus far. Though it could be the captain's fault and not the crew's, the salty sailor wonders to himself why a captain would be so hasty and careless.
Shortly after he begins roaming the ship, he thinks he hears the familiar sound of puking, and spots the young girl he saw earlier. Something about her makes him feel like she needs to be protected. And also watched out for.
"Had me share o'puking when I was a young lad," Reijo announces his presence to Shaedeen so she's not surprised by his arrival. "Ye'll get used to the rockin' and swayin'. Eventually..." His gaze then drifts, as if recollecting moments of his own youth. Puffs of smoke calmly waft from his billard-shaped pipe.
"This is only my second ship voyage," the girl answers Reiko, appearing even paler than she had when she'd first boarded the Throaty Mermaid. "Come to think of it, I was sick for a good chunk of that trip, too."
Sticking out a small hand, she adds, "I'm Shaedeen. And I'm guessing you're the infamous Reiko."
N'hati smiles at Sunny. "Quite nice buttons! I think with that outfit, you'll fit in a little bit better. I think some people found you a little... distracting, before."
"Come! Let's go to the common room and see what's going on there."
(Sync with previous post about going to the common room to see what maps and books are there.)
"Reko?!" For a moment, Reijo gives the ill teen a suspicious and tense glare, oblivious to her extended hand.
But he relaxes once more, and corrects her mispronunciation. "It's Reijo, love."
Reijo's expression then grows somber. His gaze grows distant, as distant memories return to consciousness through the smoke of his pipe.
"Reko's me pappy, Besmara rest his bloody soul..."
N'hati smiles at Sunny. "Quite nice buttons! I think with that outfit, you'll fit in a little bit better. I think some people found you a little... distracting, before."
"Come! Let's go to the common room and see what's going on there."
(Sync with previous post about going to the common room to see what maps and books are there.)
Suny grins proudly at Nhati's compliment and happily skips off with the pair towards the common room.
(^_^)
"Reijo...Reijo," Shaedeen repeats as if trying to commit the name to memory. "You'd think I would've gotten it right given how many angry voices were shouting it back on the docks. I'm sorry about that. My sympathy on the loss of your father as well; I've lost both my parents."
Her eyes widen a bit when she recognizes another name Reijo mentioned. "Besmara you say? Was your father a pirate? More to the point: Are you a pirate?"
"You look kinda like a pirate," she adds with a slight smile.
The salty man's brows begin to furrow as the teen begins asking about piracy. When she flat out tells him he looks like a pirate, he gives her a frowning, sidelong glance. His eyes focus through the smoke to meet hers.
"Ye likes ta ask questions. Curious as a cat, are ye now?"
Curiosity killed the cat, Shaedeen thinks. Wait--is he threatening to kill ME? The girl does some quick thinking.
"I'm sorry--that was very rude of me," she says. "I'll have to watch my manners at the captain's table. My wayward tongue's already gotten me in trouble with you and the goblin cook. My apologies."
Shae starts casually inching away from Reijo.
"Hmpf," Reijo retorts grumpily as he continues to stare and ponder the teen's choice of words over another puff of smoke.
"Well then, Kitty..." Reijo begins to relax once more now. Much to Shaedeen's relief, no doubt. Though he also reveals Shaedeen's new nickname... much to her chagrin, no doubt.
He continues to eyeball the girl, stroking his goatee pensively, "...if ye really were a Sczarni scoundrel sent ta bloody snoop on me an' me business, ye'd probably not be so bloody direct-like."
"Relax love," he advises her. "If I were meanin' ta send ye to Davy Jones' Locker, I wouldn'ta bothered ta call ye by name."
Not so bad for Reijo to nickname you after all...
Rather than seem relieved, Shaedeen tenses at Reijo's words, first at his nickname for her, then at his mention of the Sczarni. "What have you to do with the Sczarni?" she demands. "Or what do they want of you?"
Sunny skips along with Nhati and Tai stopping breifly to peer into any open doors at the cabins they pass.
When they come to the 'large' room (Which I am guessing takes up a large part of the rear of the ship?) Sunny bounces over to the wondows and looks out at the rolling vista of the ocean beyond... for a moment. Before stepping back and inspecting the windows, thier glass etc more closely. Even reching out and tapping at the glass in the panes experimentally.
From there her intense exploration of the romo and its contents begins.
(^_^)
Reijo takes another puff of his pipe. Though still relaxed, his scrutinizing gaze does not let up.
"Funny," he replies to the teenager with a hint of amused sarcasm. "I was wonderin' the same a bout ye."
He then adds, with a smirk, "Couldn't help but notice, them sons o'ballless dogs an' b!^(%#s weren't there just on my account, ya see. And that ye knows their secret sign. But none o'that be me business, see?" Chock full of apparent implications, most apparent of all is that he's basically telling Shaedeen to mind her own business.
"Now if'n ye ain't got no more questions fer now, love, there'll be plenty o'time fer more chit chat later on this long-arse voyage."
And with that, the salty man begins to take his leave with a nod and a polite two-fingered salute.
Sunny continues to bounce around the grand cabin... Opening anything which can be opened and looking into anything which can be looked into...
(^_^)
Nhait hears Reijo and Sahedeen start talking about the Sczarni. She keeps one ear open, but avoids showing any obvious interest. Meanwhile, she keeps perusing the book collection the captain of the ship has, trying to see what's there.
Jumping back onto Azuretta Sunny again gives the other woman a feirce hug of thanks...
"Anything." She said, giving Sunny a hot look.
(Do we have portholes in our cabins?)
...she heads towards the common room, interested in the maps that Shadeen is studying, and also interested to see what books the captain has here on his ship.
Shadeen is not studying the maps at the moment, being occupied with one of the water closets.
Looking through the maps, you see a large number of harbor charts and general maps of the Inner Sea regions.Of the books, there are many yellowed and dog eared tomes, books and paperbacks. Half dealing with either nautical references, skill training or various regulations. The rest are travelogues or lurid pulp adventures.
(^_^)
With new people entering the 'Great cabin' Sunny straightens from where she'd been bending over to peer under a side table.
She briefly adjusts and fidgets with the clothing she's now wearing as she turns, before skipping over and thrusting a hand at Shaedeen,
"Hey-YA there! I be 'Sunny' in'a speakin' of tha' peoples!" The tanned Elf exclaims brightly.
Reijo opts to roam the ship. Primarily, he seeks to assess if the crew is as inexperienced as they appear to be.
You think, from what you see on deck, that the crew are about average in skill, but possibly demoralized. You don't think they got much in the way of shore leave anyway.
There is no overt evidence, but you feel some kind of... divisions? maybe tensions? among the crew. Nothing explosive, just a tense feeling in the air.
'Awful lotta pots and pans for a laundry.' Salt remains standing in the hatch, glaring at the woman.
The dwarf woman's face goes red. She grits her teeth hard enough to bite her lit cigar in two (dropping into the stew), grabs a cleaver and leaps over the counter towards him. The cooks assistants give panicky shouts and tackle her before she can scallop Thurden, and the sailors that come running grab him and shift him back out on deck before violence can ensue.
"Sorry Master, she's just a little high strung. Best you not go back there for a month or two." Said one of the swabbies.When No-Eyes Bellamy comes by later, much the same thing occurs; only faster as the cleaver is thrown very hard and he nearly loses his head as he slammed the hatchway shut again.
