The contents of Flynn's money pouch had been replaced. Where once gald coins had been were now unfamiliar coins... Flynn assumed they must be this place's currency or else he didn't know why else it'd be in his money pouch.

His eyes swept across the round table they all stood at, at all the other people from their world (that they knew of) before emptying the contents of his pouch on the table in front of them.

"This is all I have. If we're going to get a ship big enough for all of us and with the most facilities to make our voyage as comfortable as possible, I think we'll have to each chip in."

"... Light usually requires fire around here, if you haven't noticed."

[rainofheaven]

"But ya just need a match. Don't need a fireball or somethin' to light that up."

[sage_of_aspio]

"A match is enough to light the fuse, you know."

[rainofheaven]

"I'm startin' ta think we're like two ships passin' through the night on this argument, Rita darlin'," Raven said with a bit of a rueful sigh.

"All I'm sayin' is whatever ya end up doin' in yer lab, just make sure it doesn't end up blowin' up in your face and then makin' the ship blow up with it."

It was a legitimate concern, all right.

[sage_of_aspio]

"Okay, okay, jeeze. Just means we'll have to set up explosives-research sites on islands every so often if we want cool stuff there."

[rainofheaven]

"...Cool stuff?"

[sage_of_aspio]

"I'm pretty sure I can make better cannons than what I've seen, for one."

[rainofheaven]

Sadly, he was also sure about that.

"Think you'll have the power and tech for it?"

[sage_of_aspio]

"It's not just a matter of power and tech. I can build tools for those. It's a matter of the parts for the tools... Even if I gotta forge 'em myself. Or get, I dunno, a minion for it."

[rainofheaven]

"A minion?"

He was not sure he liked the sound of that.

[sage_of_aspio]

"Yeah. Someone to build the petty crap so I can work on the big stuff."

... Some people would call that an 'apprentice'.

[rainofheaven]

He was thinking that, but he decided to err on the side of not wanting to rile Rita up and keep his mouth shut about it. Instead he just gave a small, wry laugh.

"If you actually did find one, that would mean they'd be part of the crew."

Though that being said...

"Which may not be too bad of an idea. Havin' a cabin boy doin' all the dirty work to help ease up on the load."

In other words, so he would have less work to do.

[sage_of_aspio]

"Hrm. Good point, actually. Mind, it depends on how big a ship we've got, too..."

[rainofheaven]

"Which is the bigger question," Raven sighed. "Haven't really taken a look at 'em either."

[sage_of_aspio]

"I guess we gotta do that, huh..."

[rainofheaven]

"I think the largest we could handle on our own would be a medium-ish ship," he said thoughtfully. "With six people it ain't too bad ta man. Smaller would be better but don't want ta be too cramped, either."

[sage_of_aspio]

"Need to be able to carry loot, for one."

Come on, they were going to be pirates. Loot was an assumption.

[rainofheaven]

"'Course, that's a given."

[sage_of_aspio]

"So we need literal tons of space, but small enough we can operate it. A more cargo-ish ship may be better than a warship."

[rainofheaven]

"A cargoship, huh?" Raven mused. "I was thinking more of a small privateer type vessel myself."

[sage_of_aspio]

"Less practical for long voyages. You can't store as much stuff."
