Heh, it's an interesting mix. I'll have to confess that most of 'em are teenagers, but they're pretty capable. One of 'ems got a dragon and the other four are, well, turtles. Then there's me and Jingles- who claims to be a pirate so he's pretty much the one with the most sea experience out of the group of us.

[anelegantmyth]

A dragon huh? I hope my pokemon could get along with it. I know I'd love to meet another dragon that wasn't mine.

[Garchomp scoffs.]

And I don't teens, I've worked with a lot of teens back home. But um...what are turtles? And Jingles?

[willwork4sugar]

[He grins a bit at Garchomp. Uh-oh, hope there won't be any trouble.]

...wait, seriously? Turtles, these reptile-ly creatures with shells on their backs- usually walk around on all fours but in this case they're human-sized and bipedal.

And Jingles, he's human, about our age.

[anelegantmyth]

Oh! Kind of like a blastoise, cool. Though I doubt they'd have cannons on their backs like the ones back home.

As for this Jingles guy, he sounds pretty interesting. Now I'm curious to see if he's a real a pirate or not.

[willwork4sugar]

Cannons on their backs? Huh, if they did, it might've made a little difference against those Navy guys... They can fight pretty well without, though.

I've never sailed with any pirates before, but Jingles isn't bad for all he claims to be one.

[anelegantmyth]

So these turtles can fight huh? Can they also talk?

[And by talk, she meant say something other than their name, because if they could, she'd probably want to study them]

Is Jingles really his name?

[willwork4sugar]

Oh yeah, they can talk. Half the time it's kind of hard to follow their slang but they're just like people.

-aaaand that'd be Gan Ning. But once you meet him, you'll completely understand why I call him Jingles.

[anelegantmyth]

So talking, walking, fighting turtles with confusing slang. That's definitely something to look out for. But I wonder what's the story behind that?

and I'll be sure to check this Jingles guy out. That's a pretty weird nickname for a pirate.

[willwork4sugar]

Something about mutating, if I remember the story correctly, but I'm not sure I followed it all the way. It sounded pretty strange to me.

You think so?

[anelegantmyth]

They're were mutated?

[Now that definitely caught her attention. She's heard stories of pokemon being mutated before, bad stories.]

And, well, I can't really think of any reason to call someone Jingles. Unless they walk around with a bell or something...

[willwork4sugar]

That's what Raphael told me, anyway.

[He just gives a knowing smirk at the latter, though.]

[anelegantmyth]

Oh! There is it!

[Bright green shell, just like he said. Well now she understood why that's been painted there.]

[willwork4sugar]

[Gaius nods. He gestures for them to hang back a bit while he moves ahead to take a look around the docks, but it's not long before he waves them over.]

Everything's nice and quiet on our end. Come on.

[anelegantmyth]

[She waits quietly for his signal, telling Garchomp to run ahead when he does since people are more likely to throw harpoons at a dragon rather than someone who may or may not be the accused sea witch. She follows shortly after she was sure Garchomp had made it to safety.]

Urgh, all this sneaking around...

[willwork4sugar]

Guess I'm kinda used to it.

[With a shrug, he moves on ahead without explanation. He points the Garchomp up the ramp to the U.S.S. Booyashaka (yeah he doesn't even know what that one means), and then waits for Cynthia to follow before he'll bring up the rear.]

[anelegantmyth]

[So maybe she took her time getting to the boat. She hasn't been on the docks in such a long time, and it just looked so peaceful. But gets there eventually and looks in awe at everything...but what what's that smell?]

[willwork4sugar]

[Mission accomplished! Hm?]

...something wrong?

[anelegantmyth]

Uhm...nothing! I was just wondering where I'm gonna stay?

[willwork4sugar]

Hmm.

Oh, over this way. Hopefully they cleared it out like I suggested...

[anelegantmyth]

Seriously? You had to clear out a room for me? I was okay with just staying in the same room as the rest of the crew, you know?

[willwork4sugar]

Don't worry about it. Anyway, trust me, you'll probably prefer it once you saw the alternative.

[anelegantmyth]

Well I trust you Gaius, lead the way.

[willwork4sugar]

[That'll never get old. Nodding, Gaius waves her to follow as he guides her to her quarters.]

[anelegantmyth]

[Well she didn't expect her own cabin. Sure maybe a hammock in a room or something. But this room was far to big for just her, and that tiny cushion looked like the most comfortable thing in the world at the moment.]

This is mine?

[willwork4sugar]

Yep. ...er, sorry it's not much by way of furnishings, but we've still got time at port to see about fixing that, whatever you think you might be needing.
