Welcome to Gaia! ::

Preface

Vincent, being blown away from the hurricane that upset the residence that was Quality Street, had found himself boat hopping. It had taken him 4 months to the day to find a boat heading towards the legendary Provoka, and now that he was on one, he waited in the bows of the ship. He arrived sometime last night, creeping in through the port and finding his way to a pub. His gaunt figure running through the streets with such swiftness he was hardly noticed. Now that he was among people like himself, he felt comfortable, all he needed to do was to get to know the locals.

Vincent opened the door with a creek, and made his way inside. The clouds of thick cigarette smoke with the mixed smell of rum, beer, and a slight hint of manly odor made him feel comforted. Taking a seat on a barrel, he kept to himself. He knew he shouldn't draw attention to himself, there was a bounty on his head.

"Pleased to meet yeh..."Vincent said, taking a gnarled hand around the bottle of the drink he gave him. He took a breif sip of the bottles contents, and found himself chugging what was his first alcoholic drink in months. "Call me Vincent. I am no captain, moreso a vagabond in search of a place to start anew. No gold in these pockets." He said in a grim tone, shaking the captain's hand with respect.

Rising from his customary seat in the corner, Dr. Morgan makes his way over to the bar where Vincent and Wickit sit.

"Vincen', were 't? I be Dr. Morgan. Pleas'd tae make yer aquaintance. I be town doct'r, so's if'n ye e'er be in need o' a fixin' up, come an' see me."

He takes a seat on the other side of Wickit, pulling out his flask for a sip as he does so.

"As fer th' Crown, th' onlae one tha' I knae of me th' one on Wickit 'ere's 'ead. An' I dinnae think we e'er act'ly gave tha' tae 'im. An'ow, if'n yer lookin' fer some gol', there be plen'y o' ways tae earn 't. Go wit' us tae th' Caverns, fer one. Said tae be plen'y o' pickin's 'ere, aye Cap'n?"

Feeling the need to introduce himself he interrupts.

"The actual caverns are on the side of a mountain through the forest... bu' our camp be at the edge o' the fores' over there."

He points through the window towards the forest and through the town.

"My name be Ardrick O'Flaherty, nice ta me ye Valucient.... er... Valignant? Ah! Vincent, that be it. Well, since ye jus' go' ta town I suppose ye don' 'ave a crew do ye? Well... yer in luck. I've been recruitin' people fer me crew an' I was wondering if ye would like ta join it. I think ye 'ave the potential ta be Firs' Mate too!"

"Pleased to meet you, Captain Ardick." He said, bowing his head slightly to address Ardick that he was acknowledged. "I understand that you want crew members, but I am not in the proper situation of taking up the responsibilities of a member of your crew, let alone a first mate. I do thank you for the offer, and will no doubt think it over." He said. Vincent was surprized at the amount of friendliness he got from these strangers, many of the people from Quality Street and Durem often treated him like garbage, a mere street mongrel. Nevertheless, he liked his surroundings.

Taking his third swig of the drink Captain Wickit gave him, he turned to face a young lass who addressed herself as Narnie. "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Narnie." He said, taking her hand and kissing it. It was his custom with all women he met, be them whores ( a lot of them were) or high royals, he always greeted women with a kiss to the hand to signify his respect for the lass.

((Sorry about the long posts delays. Been doing family activities and suffering from a headcold. Been awhile since I RPed, too. So bear with me. ))

"I have a story to tell, but its long and complicated. Not to mention that I am feeling a bit under the weather. Maybe some other time, I need a place to shack up for the night, Mr. Ardick" He said, placing an empty mug in front of him. He yawned and scratched his unshaven face.

((Heh. I am used to fast-paced RPs, mainly this type of thing. We had a few battles in the guild I was formerly in, and you had to be quick and accurate in what you typed. Not to mention logical.

But I digress. I see you have AIM. Could you hop on so we could have a little chat. I am in the mood to shoot the s**t.))

Namie blushed as Vincent kissed her hand. Not many pirates would do such a thing even if she was a pirate or not. "Well, Where is a good place to sleep. I usually don't sleep so I have no clue." Namie said chuckling.
