PMS II 1

	<Tuesday>	[Last time on Pirate Meido Saga Season II, the old crew has gathered once more in the oddest of places, brought together by a strangely energetic little girl claiming to be the daughter of the old captain. Proposing that she could use her "mothers
	<Tuesday>	" old crew in helping her search, the crew were left waiting till after the meal to discuss the details of this little girl's little proposal.
	* [Rut]Allison	sighs to herself.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	So...
	<Tuesday>	[ The town children leave for there homes at the end of the meal and everyone has cleared their plates. Tuesday looks upon the women (and men) at the table, waiting expectantly for one of them to break the silence-...]
	* Tuesday	turns to Catrin
	<[Mode]Catrin>	This diary you have?
	* [BNS]Amile	looks annoyed.
	* [BNS]Emile	is sitting off to the side of the room, his face covered as usual and his eyes betraying no emotion.
	<Tuesday>	...Yes?
	<[Mode]Catrin>	You really think it'll be enough to help us?
	<Tuesday>	It wasth enough to find all of you wasn't it? I also have a few tricks of my own...
	<[Rut]Allison>	Mhm...
	* Tuesday	smiles in a confident but childish manner.
	* Tuesday	still has an excessive lisp, but for the sake of the readers, her speech will not be typed phonetically at all times.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	That right?
	* [Rut]Allison	mumbles. She crosses her arms and legs, and leans back in her seat.
	* [BNS]Amile	is the first to stand up as she clears her throat and turns to Tuesday.
	* [Mode]Catrin	adjusts her glasses a bit.
	* Tuesday	raises an eyebrow at... Amile, she remembers from her mother's notes.
	* [BNS]Amile	takes a deep breath, trying to consider how to break this gently... she came here to yell at Halifax, not her child.
	* Ellisa	looks around and sighs quietly, such chaos... its quite welcomed again after all the peace.
	<[BNS]Amile>	...Tuesday. You... are a very crafty young girl.
	<[BNS]Amile>	Intelligent, well-bred, and indeed, the very picture of a proper young lady.
	<[BNS]Amile>	But with being young comes the fault of being naive.
	* Tuesday	continues looking on a bit impatient with her eyebrow still raised, she flutters her eyelashes at the compliments....
	* [BNS]Amile	sighs and walks over to Tuesday, squatting down to her eyelevel and lowering her voice.
	<[BNS]Amile>	The problem is, not everyone your mother interacted with were in fact in favorable relations with her.
	<[BNS]Amile>	I know not what she wrote of me in those diaries, but if you have summoned me here, she has probably not written what I last told her when I left her crew.
	* Tuesday	is listening.
	<[BNS]Amile>	When I left, I told her that the next time she and I met, it would not be as comrades.
	* [BNS]Amile	's countenance turns somber.
	<[BNS]Amile>	As such, I must decline your request for assistance in finding her.
	* [BNS]Amile	stands up as she finishes
	<Ellisa>	Hmm..
	* Ellisa	just keeps to herself, since its merely words being thrown around.
	<Tuesday>	If that'th whatya want...
	* [Rut]Allison	watches Amile under the brim of her hat.
	<Ellisa>	Then let her go Tuesday is what I'd say.
	* Tuesday	nods resolutely. She knew not everyone might be willing to help her out of debt or for the promise of money.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	There's also a bit of a difficult matter for me as a government official, tasked with capturing people like the lot gathered here. It's actually a really difficult matter if anyone were to find out who you all are...
	* [BNS]Emile	peers at Catrin
	<[Mode]Catrin>	If I leave without any kind of news on a capture or an intended capture, it'll look bad on me back at the board, but...
	* Tuesday	grabs a small envelope from beside her chair and holds it out for Amile to take...
	* [BNS]Amile	considers it
	<[BNS]Amile>	What is that?
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Even if I ignore all this and deal with the fallout, I'll still feel bad for leaving my own family in trouble.
	* Tuesday	just holds it over steadily for Amile to take.
	<Tuesday>	For you.
	* [BNS]Emile	stands up and walks over to accept the letter on behalf of Amile. He begins to inspect it...
	* [BNS]Amile	nods his head at Tuesday
	<[BNS]Amile>	Thank you.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	... Actually I'll probably be in a bad way regardless of what happens. I'll no doubt be considered a criminal myself... Oh man...
	<Tuesday>	[ Its a very simple letter in the envelope "Thank you for coming to my birthday party!" written in crayon of some sort with little pictures of boats and flowers and Tuesday written in a somewhat elegant yet sloppy hand.]
	* [BNS]Emile	assuring that the letter is safe, hands it to Amile
	* [Mode]Catrin	slumps as her mind begins to race about all the charges she could face, and how it could all wreck her life.
	* [BNS]Amile	reads the letter and a somber smile crosses his lips
	* [BNS]Amile	turns back to Tuesday
	<[BNS]Amile>	It was... my pleasure.
	* [BNS]Amile	leans down and kisses the girl on the top of the head.
	* [BNS]Amile	rises and turns to Emile, nodding.
	* [BNS]Emile	nods in response and makes a mental note.
	* [BNS]Amile	gathers himself and starts for the door, accompanied by Emile.
	<Tuesday>	...
	<Ellisa>	Well...good luck to you two.
	<[BNS]Amile>	As for the rest of you, it was interesting to see that you're all still alive. I pray you remain so in this waning age of piracy.
	<[Rut]Allison>	'Till next time.
	<[BNS]Amile>	If you ever find yourselves in St. Malo, I implore you to seek my hospitality.
	* [BNS]Amile	tips the brim of her hat to the gathered group as a parting gesture and then walks outside. Emile follows close behind.
	* Tuesday	doesn't really know the person, but doesn't enjoy the doting of strangers. She half scowls at being kissed on the forehead, and rubs at the spot with the back of her hand. She watches Amile make her goodbyes and leave.
	* [Rut]Allison	smirks out of the corner of her mouth.
	<[Rut]Allison>	Well, don't you fret. Amile wasn't the finest company you could have hoped to be in for this matter, trust me~
	* [BNS]Amile	gathers her men and directs them to board the carriage.
	* [BNS]Emile	holds the carriage door for Amile as he climbs up and in
	<Ellisa>	Take you.
	<Ellisa>	[*Take care]
	* [BNS]Emile	closes the door and scales the carriage to take the reins and spur the horses forward.
	* [BNS]Amile	sits in the carriage, considering her decision as the carriage makes its way out of town and back towards St. Malo...
	* [huh]Dani	quietly walks in.
	* [Rut]Allison	ponders how Amile had seemed different since they'd met. The previous circumstances were rather different... but 'she' had altered her manner significantly since returning to her element. She'd almost missed the old version, if only out of a twisted sense of irony.
	* [Rut]Allison	glances at the newcomer.
	<Ellisa>	...
	<[Rut]Allison>	...
	<[huh]Dani>	...
	* Ellisa	blinks.
	<Ellisa>	What the fuck....
	* Ellisa	scratches her eyes..
	* [huh]Dani	conceals herself with the doorframe, noticing all the eyes on her.
	* Tuesday	notes that maybe she will not be short on helping hands after all. One enters just after one leaves...
	* [Rut]Allison	perks up a little.
	<Tuesday>	Come on in! We saved some cake for you too!
	<[huh]Dani>	...
	<[Rut]Allison>	Ah, I was wondering when you'd show~
	* [huh]Dani	edges inside.
	* [Rut]Allison	chuckles. She seems relieved, somehow.
	<[huh]Dani>	...got lost.
	* Tuesday	immediately recognizes her godsister from the picture inside the diary.
	<Ellisa>	...but..
	<Ellisa>	I thought... you..left.
	* [huh]Dani	nods.
	* [huh]Dani	takes a little of the cake and retreats to a corner of the room.
	* Ellisa	sighs...
	<Ellisa>	This doesn't make any sense.
	<Tuesday>	Well, anymore questionth. I would love if I could have all of your help...
	* [Mode]Catrin	suddenly snaps up in her seat.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Oh!
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Maybe if you lot abduct me, I could make it look like I'm not willingly helping!
	<[Mode]Catrin>	And then I won't be suspected of being in league with pirates!
	<Ellisa>	You've got the crimsoneer at your service after all.
	* Ellisa	takes off her hat.
	<Tuesday>	I'm not a pirate...
	* Tuesday	directs at Catrin with a frown of disappointment
	<Tuesday>	You can't help me find my mommy?
	* Tuesday	starts turning the valve to open the waterworks. Her eyes start to shimmer...
	<[Mode]Catrin>	I would like to, but... ah!
	<[Mode]Catrin>	I'll help! I'll help!
	* Tuesday	sniff*
	* Tuesday	smiles
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Just... aw, might as well consider my career done for either way.
	<Tuesday>	Thank you Aunty Cat~
	* [Mode]Catrin	laughs timidly.
	* Tuesday	begins grabbing some small bags filled with coins and laying them on the table.
	<Ellisa>	Hmm?
	* [huh]Dani	raises her head at the sound.
	<Ellisa>	..what is this for?
	* Tuesday	takes some time to get all the bags on the table, but there is a number of bags. In fact there is as many as there are people in the room.
	<Tuesday>	Payment!
	* Tuesday	chirps
	* [huh]Dani	stands to the side of the table now.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Eh...
	<Tuesday>	Upfront for services in escorting Tuesday C. Halifax and her old mommy Lindy to destinations of her choosing till time that the payment is not deemed enough.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	I suppose I'll need it...
	<Ellisa>	I don't need it dear.
	* Tuesday	pulls out some long scroll of paper that would look like a contract if it weren't littered with little blots of splashed ink and many misspellings.
	<Tuesday>	Ah... a pen... forgot!
	* [Rut]Allison	takes one to examine the contents.
	* Tuesday	rushes out of the room and in true childish fashion runs from room to room looking for a pen. This takes a bit.
	* [huh]Dani	takes her own share.
	<Tuesday>	[Allison notes that the contents of the bag is indeed very valuable coin. The currency seems a bit mixed but the value of the coins are approximately the same.]
	<[Rut]Allison>	...
	* [Rut]Allison	picks a gold-alloyed piece and tests it with her teeth. She checks the rest for authenticity.
	* [huh]Dani	watches Allison.
	* [huh]Dani	nods to her.
	<Ellisa>	Your captain and or mom grew up with me, didn't ya know that?
	* Tuesday	is still elsewhere in the house running about looking for a pen. This makes Ellisa's comment slightly strange...
	* Tuesday	If she hadn't just arrived back in time to catch most of that comment....
	<Tuesday>	huff... hufff...
	* [Rut]Allison	's brow furrows as she turns the coin over in her hand. She can't find any flaws; it's the real deal, as far as she can tell. But what bothers her is the fact that a child would have this kind of money. Especially one living in such quaint conditions...
	* Tuesday	nods a bit breathless. She carries over the little contract with her newly found fountain pen over to Ellisa.
	<[Rut]Allison>	Pardon, young lady.
	* [par]Evone	knocks on the door
	<Ellisa>	..ok?.. so.. what is it Tuesday?
	* [Rut]Allison	looks to the door again.
	<Tuesday>	Contract!
	* Tuesday	squeaks.
	* Tuesday	looks at the door. Lindulia makes her way out of where ever she had been and opens the door for the new arrival...
	<Ellisa>	Tuesday, I have no need for this contract, you have my full support.
	* Ellisa	smiles at the little girl.
	* Tuesday	frowns at that she offers the pen and paper with more fervor.
	<[Rut]Allison>	Now Ellisa~
	* [par]Evone	is still carying herself well in her noblewoman's garb despite the heavy ale on her breath
	<Ellisa>	As you wish then.
	<[par]Evone>	"Excuse me, there was an invitation for an Evone Flavie?"
	<Ellisa>	But.. can I suggest something else?
	<Ellisa>	I wish to sign in blood.
	* Tuesday	winces a little at that.
	<Ellisa>	...ah.. fine.
	* Ellisa	takes the pen and signs it
	<[par]Evone>	"I'm sorry, but I came to inform the inviter that Ms. Flavie cannot attend..."
	<[Rut]Allison>	This is a formal contract between employer and professional, after all. Best to respect that~
	<Ellisa>	There.
	* [Rut]Allison	doubletakes at Evone, again.
	<[Rut]Allison>	. o O ( Something about her... )
	<Ellisa>	It's done like you asked Tuesday.
	* [huh]Dani	silently watches the newcomer.
	* Tuesday	grins wide at the done deal.
	* Tuesday	moves to Dani next. Sister Dani looks preoccupied paying attention to the newcomer but Tuesday offers her the pen and contract all the same.
	<[Rut]Allison>	--Ah, but as I was saying, Miss 'Halifax'... might I inquire as to the source of these funds? To insure that no complications arise if any of it is 'hot', of course.
	* [huh]Dani	takes the materials silently and signs it, handing them back without any change in expression.
	* Tuesday	hugs her godsister quickly in thanks before continuing over to Miss Allison.
	<Tuesday>	umm...
	<Tuesday>	If it's too hot to hold you can put it in water until it is cold!
	* Tuesday	chimes in with a solution to her problem.
	<Tuesday>	Thine, pleathe!
	* Tuesday	holds out the pen and contract.
	<[Rut]Allison>	Haha...
	* [Rut]Allison	finds herself breaking into a laugh.
	* [Rut]Allison	recalls when she'd work for the journey, instead of the destination. Since two years ago, she hadn't thought much of it. But this girl...
	<[Rut]Allison>	Oh, I suppose I can't refuse, can I~?
	* [Rut]Allison	takes it and signs. "Allie <3"
	<Ellisa>	Oh.. and Dani?
	* Tuesday	continues by greeting the young lady at the door.
	<Tuesday>	Hello?
	* Tuesday	Lindulia leans down to tuesday and repeats the message she was just given.
	<Tuesday>	Oh...
	* [par]Evone	frowns
	<[par]Evone>	"The invitation is from you?"
	<Tuesday>	Well if you see her, tell her we'll find Captain Halifax without her help. Is that okay?
	* [Rut]Allison	continues staring at Evone.
	<[Rut]Allison>	...
	* Tuesday	is slightly disheartened. Evone Flavie had many a page dedicated to her in Mommy's diary.
	<[par]Evone>	'Well I..."
	* [par]Evone	frowns, the cover story of herself and halifax being dead wasn't something she was sure she could say to the kid
	<Tuesday>	And... And... And...
	* Tuesday	fumbles for words...
	<[par]Evone>	"Why are you trying to find Halifax? Didn't you hear what happened to her?"
	* [K]Ariel	is smiling at the end of table for quite some times now.
	* [K]Ariel	...with a vein popped on her head.
	<[K]Ariel>	So... let me calculate.
	<[K]Ariel>	You.
	<[K]Ariel>	Are Hali--- Captain's child, correct?
	* [K]Ariel	asks.
	<[par]Evone>	"...What?!"
	* [par]Evone	is startled
	<Tuesday>	Halifax is my real mommy, so I want to find her. Even if the rumors say she is dead, I know she isn't! And I think I can find her with a little help!
	<[K]Ariel>	..................................................
	* [K]Ariel	smiles gets even more sweet, and the veins popped up even more.
	* [par]Evone	rubs her temples. She sighs and relents
	<[par]Evone>	"Those rumors are my fault. I suppose I'll help as I can."
	<Tuesday>	Huh?
	<Tuesday>	But I wanted the help of Lady Flavie... Not a messenger...
	* Tuesday	is confused.
	<[par]Evone>	"I am Evone FriedHelm. I wrote the book about my time in the crew of dread captain Halifax. The book claims the crew is disbanded at her death."
	<Ellisa>	....
	<Ellisa>	No way.
	<Ellisa>	You're Evone?
	* [par]Evone	sighs again
	<[par]Evone>	"...Yes."
	<Ellisa>	One surprise after another.
	<[Rut]Allison>	Hah! I knew she looked familiar.
	<[par]Evone>	"yes well I really should get back before my fiancee gets worried. It is nice to know you are all still in health."
	<Tuesday>	...
	* Tuesday	just kind of stares now. Not sure where to begin, she starts from the top. She holds out the pen and contract.
	<Tuesday>	Um... If you are helping, you will be payed up front and... Um... Please sign this... It is a contract with the... um... terms of the employment!
	* [par]Evone	takes the contract and reads it over
	* Tuesday	is slightly dazed. Evone looks alot different then how mommy described.
	<Tuesday>	[Evone reads that the contract outlines the escorting of party one earlier described as Lindulia and Tuesday to destinations deemed likely to lead to the whereabouts of a Captain Prisscilla Halifax until party two earlier mentioned to be the signers of this contract feel that the amount payed to them does not cover the services provided. In sloppy handwriting with more spelling errors.]
	<Ellisa>	Can I talk to you after this?
	-->|	[BNS]Mai ([email protected]) has joined #PirateMeidoSagaII
	* [huh]Dani	nods...
	<[par]Evone>	"I don't know, I have obligations..."
	* [par]Evone	frowns
	* Tuesday	frowns in turn. But she just said...
	<Ellisa>	So.. I'm confused Evone..
	<Ellisa>	You just said earlier you would help..
	<[par]Evone>	"There's so many things that could happen to a dutchess on the sea, my in laws would have a coniption. Like getting abdupted by pirates..."
	* [par]Evone	takes on a wry tone on her second sentence
	<[K]Ariel>	................
	<Ellisa>	And so?
	* [par]Evone	shrugs
	* Tuesday	stands there a bit bewildered at the indecisive show in front of her. She half offers the pen and contract not quite sure what Evone wants...
	<[par]Evone>	"Well if they 'ave a problem with it I guess its yer problem. Jus givin the friendly warnin."
	* [par]Evone	signs
	* [K]Ariel	slams her fist on the table.
	<[K]Ariel>	"I will help with this search."
	* Tuesday	jumps at the noise.
	<[K]Ariel>	"in order to spit on her face, call her a whore, and punch her in the nose. I will find her."
	* [K]Ariel	crack fist.
	<Ellisa>	Hmph.
	* Tuesday	scurries over to the mermaid lady. Mommy wrote a whole lot about her too.
	<Ellisa>	Good to have you onboard then Ariel, now sign the contract.
	* [K]Ariel	bite her finger and stamp her blood on the contract, not even reading it.
	<[K]Ariel>	Let her know the fury of Poseidon!
	<Ellisa>	...oi.
	* Ellisa	looks at Ariel.
	<[K]Ariel>	What?!
	* [K]Ariel	glares back.
	* [Rut]Allison	scratches her head. Geez, these people...
	<[par]Evone>	"Well good ta know everah wun'z still crazah."
	* [par]Evone	's refined accent slips as she relaxes
	* Tuesday	is just stunned right now...
	* Tuesday	shakes her head. Who hasn't signed yet? She glances around the room...
	<Tuesday>	Ah, Aunty Cat! Aunty Cat!
	* [K]Ariel	curses her captain using her native mermaid tongue.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Finally my turn, huh?
	* [K]Ariel	tries to suppress her anger.
	<Tuesday>	You need to sign too!
	<[K]Ariel>	"It's not the kid's fault It's not the kid's fault It's not the kid's fault It's not the kid's fault ...."
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Alright then.
	* Tuesday	scampers toward her distant aunt to receive a signature!
	* [Mode]Catrin	offers her signature on the contract, a very professional and practiced looking signature.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Probably the last bit of paperwork I'll ever sign.
	* Tuesday	party get! She takes some time to disappear and get Tony and Emily's signatures as well, but those happen off screen!
	<Tuesday>	Yay~
	* Tuesday	rolls up the signed contract and puts it away in a traveling bag in the corner. Lindulia looks at the large number of "guests" skeptically, but her daughters antics aren't something she is unfamiliar with...
	<Tuesday>	[Lindulia says your welcome to stay in the couple guest rooms they have, but you'll have to make due with your own sleeping arrangements, "We only have so many pallets and beds, ya hear?"]
	* Ellisa	nods.
	<Ellisa>	Got ya, and thank ya again lady.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	Alright.
	<[K]Ariel>	Grrrr---!!
	* [K]Ariel	is too absorbed in her vengeance plan to care.
	<[par]Evone>	"I already have a room at the inn. I suppose anyone needing it may share the room."
	* [huh]Dani	nods...
	* Tuesday	holds her arms up patiently. Lindulia picks her up as she yawns.
	<Lindulia>	"Birthday girl needs her shut eye now. Ya'll keep it down if ya can. Anything I can do for ya?"
	<Ellisa>	Ah... hum..
	* Ellisa	thinks about it.
	<[Mode]Catrin>	I think I'd just be fine with a good bed.
	<Ellisa>	Just gimme a spot to sit down and I should be good.
	<Lindulia>	"Alright then"
	* Lindulia	nods at Catrin
	* [par]Evone	heads back to the inn
	<Lindulia>	"If ya'd follow me right this way, and I'll get ya a blanket if you'd like to sleep down here in the living room."
	* [Mode]Catrin	gets up from the table and heads along with Lindulia's directions.
	* [huh]Dani	follows silently.
	* Ellisa	nods and follows.
	* [K]Ariel	, before leaving, walk over to Tuesday.
	* [K]Ariel	gives her a hug.
	<[K]Ariel>	...
	* [K]Ariel	then separates, and silently follows everyone else out.
	<Lindulia>	[Allison also takes a guest room to sleep and the day winds down. Tomorrow is a new day and the start of a new adventure. On the next chapter of Pirate Meido Z!]
