Rough Seas Redux: A Tale of Pirates and More!

[The-Shadow-One]

Leo nodded and grinned. "But if they try to harm me I shall do it in return." He said softly, waiting on them to leave before he does.

[Justice knight]

"Leo, you harm anyone and you're off my ship, got it?" Matthew said, "Yes, let's go."

[Kerr]

Henry followed Matthew.

[Archer]

Sally
In front of Sally, the little town had a small general store near the docks, along with a more specialized harbormaster who was bound to buy and sell in ship related items.

Hidden:

Which one as they are both near the docks?

Don Leon
Outside, the town was completely unrecognizable from what it once had been. Scraps of burning and splintered wood littered the ground and ruins were all that were left of the buildings. Screams of the dying could be heard from all over the island, each hoping for salvation, whether by aid or death. Out to sea, Don Leon could see the British fleet, along with the immense ship that attacked the island.

Matthew and Henry
Kingston opened itself up to the pair as they walked. Children played in the streets, British soldiers patrolled along the roads, making sure that no trouble was to be found. As they approached the local fort, as to where the British commander they sought was located, they were given odd stares. This eventually led to them being halted at the gate by two guards, "Wha's yer business here?" One asked.

Leo
As it was for Matthew and Henry, it was for Leo. The only difference was, the intention of the walk. Around him, Leo could hear the whispers of guards, talking about bits of the interests for the day. Beggars, usually a decent way of receiving information, sat alongside the streets, sometimes succeeding in their attempts for coin, others only succeeding in being kicked.

[The SheoDovah]

Sally walked off her ship and onto the docks. She started to make her way towards the harbourmaster. "How are you today?" She asked her firstmate in an attempt to spark a conversation.

[Deimos]

Hidden:

I'll make my first post when Dovah gets back to the ship

[Archer]

"Well enough. The events of the past few days have got me on a bit of an edge, though." Her first mate answered, as they approached the harbormaster, who was currently speaking with someone else. "You?" She asked Sally.

[Kerr]

"We need to speak to your commander. We bring news from Nassau, it's been attacked. We have information about the attackers and it's likely that given time, they'll target our own ships and ports." said Henry.

[The SheoDovah]

"I'm fine apart from the nightmares." Sally told Isabel. She had been suffering nightmares for the past few days due to the strange ship that had attacked them and the one that turned Nassu into hell on earth. She saw the man she believed to be the harbourmaster chatting to someone and would wait untill he was finished to avoid getting into an argument.

[Archer]

Matthew and Henry
The more intelligent of the two guards looked at the pair oddly. "Nassau? Nothin' important ever happened to Nassau! How should I believe you?" He questioned, obviously thinking himself quite witty.

Sally

Hidden:

Awww, no arguments....

Soon, the man stormed off, obviously unhappy about the deal he had made. "So, you next?" The harbormaster asked in his gruff voice.

[The SheoDovah]

"We have 10 mortars that we would like to sell." Sally informed the harbourmaster.

[Justice knight]

"Because we were there you damned fool," Matthew replied, "Do you want to be known forever as the man who stopped this fine port from being prepared?"

[BetaB17]

He tipped across, his feet set upon splintered wood as he gazed at the mayhem. He reached upon himself and pulled out his scope, all the more to see what may unfold with the fleet

[Archer]

Sally
"An' what's wrong with 'um? Nobody never sells that many guns unless there's a problem." The harbormaster inquired.

Matthew and Henry
"Neither do I want to be the one to let a crazy in to see the Commander!" The guard exclaimed, his voice raised to be heard across the compound. This garnered the attention of many more soldiers, all of whom ran to the edge of the wall to look down upon the spectacle.

Don Leon
Don was able to faintly make out crewmembers scrabbling about on the decks of the ships.

Hidden:

Thats really all I can give you until the British get to moving again.

[BetaB17]

Hidden:

It's okay If it hasn't been obvious, I've been deliberately going at a slow pace till the good stuff happens

[The-Shadow-One]

Leo approached a beggar. Sitting doqn beside him he grinned."Fortune favours you in the coming days if your tongue tells things. Shall you be that one or will fortune favour another?" He asked politely drawing and shuffling the tarot cards.

[The SheoDovah]

"I don't want them. They are in good condition and are just taking up room on my ship." Sally stated to the harbourmaster.

[Archer]

Sally
The man looked skeptically at Sally. "Mhmmm. I'll need to see them myself, then, seeing as you won't talk." He growled as he stepped out from behind his counter. "Which is yours?"

Leo
The elderly man glanced over to Leo, a twinkle in his eye but a frown upon his face. "My tongue tells to those whose heart knows." He answered.

[The SheoDovah]

"My ship is over there." Sally informed the man and pointed out the [&@%!] to him.

[The-Shadow-One]

"How's can a tongue tell if a heart knows? Telling is new, knowing is old. Knowing is the aged brother of telling, thus the heart is older than the tongue?" Leo asked, a twinkle in his own eye.

[Kerr]

"What harm could there be in letting us in? If it really is nothing then no harm done, if you send us anyway and ports and ships are attacked then it will be your fault." said Henry. "People are looking at you, if people do die they'll hold you responsible. Even ignoring superiors, do you want to explain to every man who lost a friend, child who lost a parent and wife who lost a husband that you decided people shouldn't prepare for it?"

[Archer]

Sally
The man nodded as he walked to the ship, mumbling about how this was all a waste of his time. "So, describe the mortars. How much do you want?" he asked.

Leo
"Aye, but a heart must know how to handle what the tongue lets loose, else disaster is all that occurs." The man grinned, satisfied with his little tidbit of advice. "So what do your ears wish to hear?"

Matthew and Henry
The guards face became contorted as he tried to think of an answer, soon settling on "Just trying to trick me! I'll have no..." he yelled before being cut of by a man of obviously higher station. "Thompson, shut up." he said simply to the guard. Turning to the pair, he apologized "Truly, I am sorry for this imbecile. How can I help you?"

[The-Shadow-One]

"Ears wish to hear all that tongues wrestle to tell." Leo grinned, shuffling some cards now in his hand. "Walls are not tolerated between tongues and ears, the cards tell this tongue will reach this ear without fail yes, and rewarded with coin." He nodded. "Coin speaks to tongues better than tongues speak to ears yes?"

[The SheoDovah]

"They are in good condition and there are 10 of them." Sally informed the man as she walked towards the ship. "£5000 or more for the lot." She told him. She wasn't sure how much she should sell them for but hoped 5k or more was reasonable. She hoped that he would agree to take them off her hands.

[Archer]

Leo
"Aye, but does not coin speak rather to the greed within ones heart more than the tongue?" The beggar inquired. "But regardless, many strange things are afoot in these waters. And most are better left to themselves, save for those with nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Sally
"5000 gold!? You must be halfway to senior to ask that of me." The harbormaster stated incredulously. "No, at most 2500 gold." He countered, then waited for Sally's next offer.
