Yumi smiled at Amy and sighed. "Yea we're going to be leaving soon, I don't plan on staying in this dump for the night." Yumi mumbles. "Just need to buy rum and food and we'll be leaving."

♦♦Yumi Vile♦♦
Yumi looked at the leftover gold and sighed. "Looks like you'll need to be checking on our late shipment, because I barely have enough to buy one crate of rum, let alone fifthteen crates." Yumi mumbled.

Jack
"Why, tha nerve! Why is our shipmen' a'ways late?"
She ran off to the rum shop, but not to the front door. She snuck around back and hoisted herself up to the window, hidden by the alley, she waited until the manager went out to the front to deal with a customer, and slipped inside.

♦♦Yumi Vile♦♦
Yumi watched as Jack stunk inside the rum shop. She wen through the front door and watched as the manager talked to someone. She was going to make sure that he stayed from the back, so that Jack had enough time to get the rum.

Jack
Jack flipped through the book, looking back for a shipment that was large enough, and found one only a few days earlier that was set to be delivered that morning, and had been successfully delivered. She carefully scraped off the customer's name, the destination, and the completion signature, and filled in the information for the Bloody Rose, careful to mimic the manager's handwriting. That done, she flipped back to the page he had been at and returned the desk to the way it was. Another flawless alteration. She hoisted herself back out the window, then went around and entered the shop like a normal customer. She tapped Yumi on the shoulder, and made sure the manager could hear her.
"Cap'n, tha boys say tha' tha rum what was sappost ta arrive thi' mornin' never showd up. 'An we payt in advance too."

The manager looked over twoards Yumi and Jak and frowned. "Is there a proablem ladies?" He asked while walking over to them.
Yumi straighten up and glared at him. "Yes there is, my shipment of rum hasn't come in yet, and I was told it would be here by the time I came here. As you can see I have no rum, so there is a very big proablem here." Yumi hissed.
The manager steped back in fear and nodded. "I"ll look at my records right now." He said while going into the back. He came back with a records book and frowned."Oh my, I see what you mean, well I will not stand for this, please go ahead and take as much rum as you can carry." He said. "They don't look so strong, so they'll most likely only get two or tree crates." He thought.

"Tha's mighty kind o' 'im, ain' it Cap'n?" Jack said before pulling out a rope and moving some crates around so that there was a cube 2 crates wide, 2 crates high and 2 crates deep. She tied up the 8 crates and hoisted it onto her back, holding the rope in both hands. "I'll go on ahead Cap'n, an' I'll tell Sam he can come in, he ben waitin' outside."
Sure enough, Sam was right outside the shop. Not because he'd been waiting, but because he'd come to see Jack about their bet. Still, Jack had heard him calling her name, and knew that while he wasn't to smart when it came to gambling, he could pull of a scam like this with ease. The shopkeep didn't need to know he hadn't been waiting around. "Ho Sam! Than's fer waitin' out here fo' us. Tha' shopkeep ha' gla'ly lit us 'arry off a' much rum a' we ken lift, so would ya min' goin' an' helping tha Cap'n git tha rest o' it? I'll see ya back at tha' ship when we go ta set sail. Oh an' considr yer bet paid, if'n ya can carry more than tha eight what I got."

Yumi smiled and went into the back. She looked around and smiled, before easily stacking four crates on top of each other. She then stacked four more crates next to the pile and ended up having four stacks of cartes in front of her. She then pushed all of them out of the room, and out of the shop.
The manager watch in shock as the girls took half of the crates from the back room.

((No one told me this started sweatdrop !!!))
Aiden ran out of the captain's cabin, obviously suffering from another hangover. Not that he couldn't take the rum. It's just that he always had WAY too much of it. He walks over to the edge of the boat, and sees that the deck was recently cleaned. Because he slipped on part of the still-soapy floor, and falls flat on his back. He is too tired to really care, stands up. He looks over through the sea, and sees a port nearby. He says to their navigator,
"Port! Head for the port! We're getting more rum! RE-SUPPLY DAY!"
Not that he had planned resupplying. It was just very convenient. He often almost runs out of supplies on the sea. Not that he's stupid or a bad captain. Its just that he wants his crew to be able to survive in situations that would require them to have much less than the usual large amount of foods that he has.

As Jack was on her way back to the ship, Sam almost knocked over the stacks of crates Yumi was pushing. He reached up and grabbed the top eight crates, then turned to go, saying quickly. "Let me get these for you Cap'n, an' I'll send someone to help you wth the rest once I get to the ship." Then he took off, cursing himself for an idiot, he turned around and set the crates down on the road, then ran back and grabbed one more from the crates Yumi was pushing. "Sorry Cap'n, I can't let Jack beat me again!" Then he placed it on top of his eight, and took off after Jack.
At the ship, Jack set down the crates and handed the rope to one of the guys to haul up. Sure she could carry them downhill to the ship from the shop, thanks to the leverage from the rope, but there was no way she could haul them up the boarding ramp, leverage or no.
Halfway back to the ship, Sam realized he had too many crates, his arms were tired, and at this rate he'd drop the lot before he made it back to the ship. He was about to take a break when he saw a crewmate over in front of a brothel. He called the man over and handed him four crates, promising his share of tonight's rum ration if he helped him with a little trick. Right before they turned the corner onto the docks, Sam took the four crates back from the guy, and he ran ahead to the ship, the man heading back up to town to collect his pay.
Sam was disappointed when he got to the ship to learn that Jack had gone off to town again, but he had a lot of witnesses to his bringing back nine crates, so he was good to go. He sent a few men to go help the captain, like he had said he would.

Yumi smiled and went back to the rum, bringing out more crates of rum. Her and her crew had cleaned out the whole room. "Well I think that's all we'll need." Yumi said while pushing the last few crates from the back room.
Star looked up at the caption and sighed. "Sir are you sure you need more rum?" She asked while standing up. She could easily tell he was having a hangover which made her sigh more. "I can't belive the caption's a drunk." She thought.

Aiden says to Star smiling, knowing how she was about his drinking,
"Not for me, for the crew, of course! Since I drank it all, y'know."
The only real thing that affected him in a hangover is that he gets a bit eccentric. And clumsy. But he recovers quickly from them. As the ship begins to pull into the port, Aiden says to all on the crew,
"Get ready to get off of the boat. If any of you want to spend a part of the treasure."
Aiden was a party guy. Most towns he went too didn't want him back, after destroying half of the local tavern or so. Aiden was an odd captain, but was good. His intelligence only really shows during fights and life-threatening situations. He also often let the crew buy items from the local markets. That way, he doesn't have to deal with all of that bureaucracy.

Jack dropped from the tree as the crewman approached. "As you said, he had nine crates exactly, but needed help with them. The guys at the ship'll think he carried all 9, but he had me carry four of 'em most of the way."
Jack tossed him a flask. "There ya go, tha's all I go' left o' yest'rdays. Don' w'rry, ya'll still git Sam's share o' t'days, so ye come out on top here too."
The two went back to the ship, and Jack laughed when she saw Sam's face when he realized he'd been duped. He swore under his breath and nearly blew a fuse, then he sighed and collapsed. "Ya got me again, Jack. An' I didn't even wager against yer offer, it was a one sided bet, but I still ended up losin' t'day's rum ration over nothin'."
Jack laughed again, and clasped him on the shoulder. "'Ey, ya oughtta stop tha gamblin' mate. Especially wit' meh. Ya ain't nevar gonna win, best quit while ya still got sumthin' left."
She walked back up the ramp and onto the ship, just as the men Sam'd sent to help the Cap'n got there with the rum. She climbed a quarter way up the riggings and yelled down to the crew, "'Ey boys! Anoth'r scamm'r scammt by tha crew o' tha Bloody Rose!" A few of the boys laughed and a bunch cheered. "We got tha greatest Cap'n on tha seas, an' she has tha greatest crew!" Jack laughed and dropped back to the deck. This was turning out to be a fine day indeed.

Star sighed and got ready to port. She went to the side of the ship and sighed. "I hope Luna isn't in this town." Star mumbled, reffering to her twinsister who was looking to kill the caption. Star sighed again and went back to the caption. "You're not going to go and make a total fool of yourself again, are you?" Star asked. If the caption was going to go party, Star usaually stayed with making sure he didn't do anything too stupid.
Yumi was able to push over sixteen crates of rum, by herself to the ship. She took a quick break before continuing to push the crates. When she got to the ship she sighed in relief. She went on the ship and smiled. She pointed to some of the crew memebers then at the boxes in front of the ship. "Go get thoses crates and put them below deck." She ordered. The crew memebers nodded and went to grab all the crates of rum.
