A Nice Little Get Together (Isabella)

[Capt. Lind Damon]

Cold air crept through the air around the docks of Zanan Island. The place was nearly all just a city with small homes all over the place. On the docks was a large boat that looked more majestic than all the rest. All the sails were up, though most of the masts could not be seen because of fog. The sound of the sea could be heard over anything else this early in the morning. A man walked down a little plank from this majestic ship to docks. The man had black boots that went up to about his mid-shin only to meet dark gray pants which went up to a black shirt with gray vest. Over all of this was a dark gray colored overcoat. On the left hip of this man was a silver sheathed sword with a gold colored handle.

The man started walking down the docks towards some little shady building close to the edge of the dock. His stride looked to be one that belonged to a man that was full of pride. The man continued on to enter this strange looking building, pushing open the door to the entrance. Inside was a reasonably lit room that looked to be a bar full of the early risers, all of them pirates.

”So, if it isn’t our favorite captain. Captain Damon, how might you be this morning, lifelike, because that is sure disappointing.” Stated one of the men whom was turned around facing Captain Damon from the bar. Captain Damon didn’t seem to do anything other than smile as he walked forward towards the bar and took a seat. The man who made the call to the Captain had gotten out of his seat, waiting behind him as if wanted something. ”Lance, if you don’t stop standing in my shadow, you will no longer have something to look forward to” The Captain stated as the bartender put a glass of water in front of him, causing the Captain to give a “thank you” nod. ”We just can’t wait for you to be hung so we can stop seeing you get your same order of water from a tavern. I mean, at least have a drink.” the same person said again, while holding up his mug, and putting his arm around the Captain. To this the Captain merely looked on, while nodding for a minute. ”Yeah, if I were to start drinking I would end up like you guys, forgetting why I am still a pirate. Also, I don’t care how much you start sweet talking me sweet pea, you’re not taking me home.” Captain Damon replied with a grin appearing on his face as he took a sip of his water.

”Alrighty matey, you have gone too far this time.” Lance said as he grabbed the Captain’s collar and pulled him off the stool and turning him around, flinging a punch to his face. Captain Damon had Lance’s fist collide with his face as he was spun around, while Lance brought his fist down waiting for a comeback. ”You know, I might have to burn this coat, because a vermin touched it. Now, I would have left this at your comment, but you went ahead and hit me. Come on, we all know how foolish that is.” Captain Damon stated as he started turning back around with his water glass still in hand. When Lance let his guard down, Damon spun around hitting Lance in the side of the head with the glass, causing Lance to fall to the ground and the glass to shatter. ”Alright, where was I…oh, yeah! Can I get another one of those.” He asked as he sat back down at the bar, waiting for Lance to get up.

(OOC:No Pirate's Island is complete without at least one hit.)

[Isabella Cole]

Isabella sat in the corner of the bar, alone, nursing a large cup of ale. She was in a rather foul mood today, which was very strange.. usually she was a rather happy person. But for some reason, today, she was missing her father and was unhappy to be alone.

A sigh escaped her lips as she took another drink, setting the mug back on the table. Her hair was up in her hat, out of sight from most people that would look at her. She loved being a woman, but sometimes it was much easier pretending that you weren't. Especially around this company. She wore a pair of brown pants and a white tunic type shirt, she rarely wore dresses, once again, especially around this crowd. A lot of them were quite crude...

She noticed with Lind entered, taking another sip of her drink. They called him Captain, so he must have a ship. Perhaps she could join his crew...? She watched the exchange between the two men with a bemused smile, her eyes widening a bit when the second man hit Lind, but watching his calm demeanor when going about getting revenge... that was fantastic. A grin crossed her face as she took another deep drink of the mug, sighing slightly.

She looked down at the man on the floor, hiding her smile behind the mug. The man that had hit him was kind of... amazing. For lack of a better word. She looked back at him and studied him in silence, trying to decide just what to do.

She was really unsure of how to approach him to see if he wanted another crew member, having been raised on one crew with her father, she had never had to look for another. She flinched slightly as she thought of the many ways this could go wrong, but figured she'd make the best of it. If anything, she had a couple daggers tucked away that she could try and use to get away...

"Captain? Are you looking for crew?" Simple and to the point, now.. to see what would happen.

(Of course! Sorry it's not as long as yours )

[Capt. Lind Damon]

Lind had returned to his drink as he took a single sip of it when another person walked up to him. The person spoke to him with a tone that was not at deep as that of a male person, but more of one belonging to a woman. She asked if he was looking for crew members. To this he let out a slight grin as he turned to face this person. ”Sorry, I’m not looking for a crew, but Lance here is looking for someone to replace himself.” Lind said grinning again and eyeing the woman. Lance who was still conscious heard Lind’s comment and started grunting. ”See, even he thinks so.” he added on. ”Alas I may not be looking for a crew, but I am waiting for the right people to show up.” Lind stated after starting to show his teeth in his new smile. He turned back and swallowed the rest of his drink and put the glass on the table. To which he now stood up, sticking his hand into his coat and setting a single coin on the tabletop.

”So, who knows, you could be one of those people. So far I think you’re doin’ pretty well on being the right thing. I mean, how many women do we get here who can think about how to present themselves in the most pleasant of ways?” The Captain said as he dropped a coin on the ground in front of Lance, whom jumped to the ground to grab it, though as he did the Captain pulled a little string that was connected to the coin, and brought it back to his hand. ”Still too slow.” Lind stated as he continued on through the door to exit the building, though almost instantly he stuck his head back in with a big grin on his face. ”That may not have been clear, but that means I would like you to follow me.” Lind added on, though Lance was about to go forward. ”Not you, the actual pirate here who is looking to join a crew. He added on while motioning for Lance to stay where he was, and for this woman to follow him. Yes, a quick thing, but of course he couldn’t let a catch like this get away or get harassed by that crowd. He could tell she was good, especially the part of disguising herself as to suit herself for the type of crowd, a very intelligent thing to do. Maybe she can fill the position nicely…that is if she accepts. Lind thought as he waited for her to exit the building.

[Isabella Cole]

Isabella frowned slightly as Lind began speaking, damn... He wasn't looking for a crew. That was very disappointing. She sighed slightly and shrugged her shoulders slightly, agitated. She would have to keep looking then...

However, she looked back at him as he continued talking. Now he just wasn't making sense. He was waiting for someone specific. That was even more frustrating. She blew air from her mouth, watching as he dropped the coin in front of the man on the floor. A slight chuckle escaped her lips as she watched the man scurry for the coin only to have it pulled away from him. This was a very interesting man.

She appreciated the compliment as well, well... she thought it was a compliment. She was glad that he thought that she was intelligent for the way she acted in public. She just knew that female pirates oftentimes had a harder time being pirates than males... of course. And.. she might be the right thing? Well, that was an interesting turn of events.

She turned to look at him as he stood up and began walking out of the room, frowning again. When he stuck his head back in and spoke to her, watching Lance as he began following before he spoke to her again. Awesome.

She grinned as she followed behind him quickly, wondering just what he wanted to talk about.

[Capt. Lind Damon]

Lind looked behind himself and saw that the woman was indeed following him. Thank God she's coming, he thought as he walked slowly for her to catch up to him. "If you haven't caught on, though you probably have, this means I like you, and you would be a fine addition to my crew." Lind said as he continued waking towards the docks.

"Oh, how rude of me, I'm Captain Lind Damon, but some call me Captain Lind, or just Captain, though few call me Lind. Call me what you wish and I'll answer." he said as he continued forward, and giving this woman a smile he usually gives. He was always relaxed amongst people he could trust, namely his crew, and one could easily tell he was feeling like that as he was leading the woman down towards the docks. "I am the Captain of this mighty fine vessel, the Leviathan." Lind stated as he motioned his hand in the showing kind of way towards the docked Leviathan. "This is one amazing ship, the crew is fantastic, and I was hoping that you might join it as my first officer, the second in command." he added on as he looked at this fabulous candidate he found.
