Hope Keeps Us Moving [PRIVATE]

[Question]

"I'd offer you my shirt, but its wet." Philip explained, "Don't worry, we will be quick," He said. But he could not see Angelica anywhere.

"I see. Well I understand you managed to capture a mermaid, and I have a nice offer for you," The pirate said after slurping down rum.

[changa]

"You do?"

Syrena nodded. "Okay,"

[Question]

"Yes. Help me hunt mermaids, and you will be co-captian, and recieve 20% of the gold I plunder." The pirate offered.

[changa]

Angelica thought on this. "Thirty-five," she said.

"Where do we look?"

[Question]

"40, if you give me mermaid children or eggs." The man offered. "They are really hard to bring in alive," He explained for the boost in offering. He reached into his coat and pulled out a gold necklass, "and more."

"Cabians," Philip said and headed towards the storage room.


OOC: I was awonderin', you want to fast forward in a bit to where its like 7 years later? Maybe Angelica bargins to keep one of the eggs alive?

[changa]

"What's that?" The necklace was probably a month's worth of plundering.

"Cabins. Got it." Syrena inched toward the cabins. "Which one?"

[Question]

"A necklace, stolen from French aristocrats. " He threw it in her lap, "Are you intrested? Its simply finding a mermaid and ocasionally getting your hands dirty here and there. Snip snip." He immatation a butcher knife cutting into a animal.

"Any, just be quiet and careful." He was sure he didn't have to elaborate on the threat of being discovered.

[changa]

OOC: So, Angelica bargains away one to the mermaid slayer and one to Philip and Syrena, and those six grow up, and then...?

"Easy. Fast. Dirty. Not bad." Angelica said. "Done,"

Syrena poked her head into a cabin. Two men were playing cards, and another was asleep on the floor. She took her head out and explored some more.

[Question]

OOC: I'd figured Angelica would rat out Philip and Syrena, killing 5 eggs and only keeping one.

The pirate smiled, "What were those objects you were hiding?" He remembered the flash of a spiral like shape he'd remembered.

Philip sneaked into the captian's cabian but found it empty.

[changa]

"Well, if you really want to know," she said, walking over to her soaking jacket and pulling the eggs out. "Mermaid eggs," she said, with a twisted smile on her face. "Got these from a mermaid and her husband. They should be hanging around the boat, if you still care,"

Syrena heard creaky footsteps. "Philip!" she hissed.
