It was a warm, breezy day in Governor's Harbor, Eleuthera and everything was a mess. "FETCH ME SOME ROPE FROM THE BILGE!" Esmeralda was pissed off. The crew was all over the place and the sails needed patching. "WHERE'S THE DAMN MASTER CARPENTER?!" She had no idea where the Captain was, let alone his First Mate. She doesn't have time for this! She should be helping man the sails! Men scurried past her, slipping and bumping into others. Esmeralda rolled her eyes, "May Neptune have mercy on us..."

Meanwhile in Nassau, Feliciana felt as though she won the lottery. Yes! I finally got a position on a ship! Even if it is cabin boy.... She carried a sack of some raggedy male clothes she found on the dock and made her way onto the famous Her Majesty's Rose. Feliciana looked at the rugged men running around her with wide eyes. She tried to mimic their movements and gestures, making herself seem more and more like a male. Suddenly she heard a voice address her, "And who might you be?"

500 miles away in Havana, Atticus Vargas was looking at the love of his life, well sort of. She didn't know it yet, but Yukiko Honda, his beloved Captain had stolen his heart. Suddenly, he snapped out of his trance and turned around to yell at the Boatswain. "Gesù Cristo! Get to work you idiota!" Alas, First Mate was a rough job, but he would do anything, and I mean anything to please his Captain.

Feliciana looked at the back of the decked-out pirate with a scowl. Never had anyone in her entire talked to her in such a manner, and by someone about her age! Although he looked important, she believed that is no way to treat anyone. "The name's Feliciano, Sir, and I will try to impress." Without looking back, she turned on her heel and started making her way down to the hold. I'll show him pathetic and scrawny....

Jack Kirkland: Jack was on shore, at the bar near the port. He was having one last drink before loading up onto his ship, and heading out onto the open seas. To be quite frank, he shouldn't be drinking as much as he had been doing. He checked his peg leg, as he had a hole drilled into it to hold things. his Map was still there. He sighs and looks up at the Barista. "Another mug of rum please."

Michelle Mancham: Is looking around the bar she controls. She has been purposefully getting people drunk in hopes of getting a lot of money from them. She looks over at the man asking for the drink. "Sure! One minute!" She walks behind the bar and pours him another mug. She looked around at all the people in the bar and sighs.

Antonio Carriedo: As he was the first mate of the ship, Antonio was on deck, with a checklist. He was checking off all of the equipment that they had. At one point, he looked out at the open, light blue Bahamian sea, and smiled. He could not wait to get out on the open seas, where he belonged. He walks to the captains quarters, after watching him greet her onto the ship,and waits for the captain. He has news.

Anton Koval: Anton is smiling as he looks up at the ship. he is on the harbor, fishing. he hears the Woman's commands, and smiles. He slowly stands up and walk over to her. "I am Anton Koval! I hear that you called for the master carpenter. That would be me. what do you need comrade?" the has taken his shirt off and reveals his muscular chest. He has his shirt off because it is much warmer than it is where he is from.

Jake Oseanovich: Jake is excitedly hauling cannons into place. Well, when I say "Hauling" Ireally mean, he was watching his subordinates put the cannons where he told them to. He was smiling drunkly. He was very excited to get back onto the open seas. He poked his head out from under the deck when he hears the woman yelling. "You there. Be there anything Aye C'n Help ye with?"

Atticus flashed into action to pretend like he wasn't staring. He was pleasantly surprised when he heard her say his name. He turned around to his Captain and beamed, "Good morning Madame! You seem determined as always! I think the winds are perfect today! Shall I go tell Matteo to set us on a course?"

Peter felt happier than ever as he walked aboard the ship, carrying a bag of clothes over his shoulder. He was excited about his new job as the new master carpenter for the amazing Her Majesty's Rose. He had just arrived as he saw a young woman getting threatened by a man with bushy eyebrows. Ignoring the two, he examined the ship, checking to see if there was anything needed to be repaired already.

Esmeralda turned to see a shirtless Anton. She lifted an eyebrow but didn't address it. "Alright Anton, I need you to patch up some of the sails on the starboard side. If you could bring some of these blokes to help that'd be great, after all they are getting in the way of my own team." She sighed, taking in much needed air. "Sorry, normally I'm not this commanding but the damn Captain and First Mate are nowhere to be seen." She pats him on the arm and turns to leave and when she sees a drunk Jake. She rolls her eyes once more. "Not from a drunkard, thank you!"

Antonio had a small, devious grin on his face, and stood up. He looks at the captain. "You see Captain, When I was checkin' the Cargo hold, I found A barrel out of place. I did'nt think anything of it at the time, but..." He looks around to make sure that there was nobody else around them. "The Barrel moved. This wouldn't be a problem, but, Yee could hear the voice of some scallywag hiding. So, in conclusion, I believe we have a spy." He sits back down. "I decided not to do anything about the Scurvy dog. Thought yee might want to see it fer yerself cap'n" He pulls out a flask and takes a swig.

Anton: Smiles, and turns to do what she said. "Do not worry Comrade! It will be easy to do!" He turns to some crew members. "C'mon Comrades! Help me fix the sails!" He walks over to the starboard side, and climbs the rope ladder to get to the top of the Sail. "Comrades! Once we finish this, I promise all the rum yee can drink!"

Jake: Hiccups. Smiles. "Alright then ye scurvy dog!" He duck under the deck again.

Antonio: Chuckles. "Aye cap'n. Follow me." He walks out of the cabin, and walks towards the cargo bay. He pushes a few crewmen aside. "Down in here." He goes down the ladder, and lights a lantern. once the Captain had come down, he pointed over near the Wall of the starboard side. There was a very large amount of barrels. "Our little Spy is hiding in there Cap'n." He pulls out his gun and starts looking around the Barrels.

Atticus smirked. "We have been running low on a couple supplies lately so I think some plundering is in order." He turned to see Matteo walking over to them and gave him a nod. "So Captain, where do you plan to take us?"

He leaned casually on the mast, sipping from a tin cup of water someone had left on the floor. Hell, his throat was drier and scratchier than the ship's ration biscuits.... though, significantly without the maggots that could be found in the latter.
"Yes, do tell us captain. I need to locate our position on the map, and Atticus is right, we are running out of water and food rations. We still have barrels and barrels of rum, but that's not going to help us."

After so long, Esmeralda still wasn't used to the odd "buddy" terms of the pirate world. She turned around to see Anton guiding some men and smiled, "At least we have someone helping....And now the work begins." She flipped onto the main mast and climbed up to secure the sails. After doing said task, she took a moment to look out at the sea of her childhood. She smiled and felt the ocean breeze tickle her nose. Her head trailed down towards the deck to see the First Mate emerge from the hull. "Sir! The mast is secure!"
