"Oh. Well. I see. What is this 'Corp'?"

She gave a slight chuckle at Seno, and answered. "The S.E.A. Corps. It is an organization that are fighting against the pirates and their brutality. I've been considering it, but it is still under consideration," she blinked at herself, and shook her head not wanting to bother explaining herself, or even trying. She took note of the gold coins and swiped them off the table, before Jerrit could remark, "Fool," she looked around, "Don't trust the people in this town. You're absolutely right, this town in unfriendly in atmosphere, people, and the energy surrounding us," she kept herself vague of this. Snatching the pouch from his hand, she stuffed the coins inside and handed it back, looking around warily. "And do not worry about payment, i have plenty of money, if you'd like something to eat, just go right ahead and order." she thought a second, "Actually, you probably do not know whats around here, there's a list of food on that wall by the bar," she pointed straight at it, across the room.

Audrey hissed , and cursed under her breath. The last thing she needed at this moment was another S.E.A. recruit. Again, turning her attentions from Leonor, she hitched up her skirt, and trundled along to the small table once again. She plastered a sly grin onto her face, and spoke: "Are ye all alright here? Is this here man bothering ye?" She threw her thumb in Jerrit's direction. "Obviously he dun't know about our no peddling policy.." She turned to Jerrit. "However, If ye're willin' I'll be glad te get ye a drink or something.. On the house of course.." She smiled again at him, took his hand and tried to lead him to the bar.

Jerrit looked back and forth between the two, Mishika and Audrey. Both had offered him drinks, and Jerrit had a sneaking suspicion, it wasn't his 'natural charm'. Something was up around here, and it smelled bad, like rotten fish. Or wait... that was rotten fish. Nevertheless, he would have to find oput more about this S.E.A. Corps, as well as the Pirates. It was right about now that Jerrit wondered what he should do about the drink: The first girl had offered one first, and been generally conversational. The second hadn't exactly been friendly, but Jerrit had alarm bells going off in his head screaming: DON'T MESS WITH HER! She was probably the fighting type, or perhaps an asassin, a thief, or a pirate. Jerrit was personally against that line of work, but it was a living. The other girl looked more to be a mage, a career choice Jerrit had much respect for. Even if she hadn't bought a book, she seemed like a nice sort... but powerful enough that she could afford to be nice. This was definately not going to be easy. So Jerrit did what he always did when he got in trouble. He used his fast and quick wits to talk his way out of a bad situation: "Um, uh, um... um..." It was going to be a long day.

Leonor looked to the scene that was going on at the table that Audrey had gone off to. She stared at the young man who had a confused look on his face. She laughed inwardly at him and she walked over. She did not know why she walked over there, she just did.
"What's going on over here?" she asked, smiling that fake 100 watt smile, that no one could ever tell was fake. "Is this going to turn into one of those gruesome bar fights?" she asked jokingly, glancing at each face.

Jeez when the hell did this turn into a party... Seno tried to wipe the irritated look off his face. "Dont' just stand there bookworm. Be polite to the kind laday and take the drink." Seno looked over to Audrey. "Bring this guy what you brought me earliar." He indicated the bottle of clear liquid he had ordered earliar.
Seno leaned back in his chair and looked towards the third women. "Fekt, if there was a bar fight, I'd be wiping blood off my knuckles n' someone would be taking home feathers as a souviener. Why don't you pull up a chair and bring whatever bottle you were nursen. This seems to have turned into a group thing." Then again...another chick here ain't bad.

Inversely to Seno, Jerrit was thinking more along the lines of : #"Cripes, another one! Now what?"# He had identified the second one as a definite pirate, least of all signs being the accent. The new girl, there was something definitely odd about her, something inhuman that Jerrit couldn't pinpoint. He would figure that out later, he decided, but she was probably an asassin or pirate too, as that she showed up right after the second one. In fact... It had been odd these two pirates cut into the conversation after he'd talked the other... couple. And fomr her tone, it was if she were trying to cut her off, as if they didn't want Jerrit to hear about... something the girl had said, something about... about... the S.E.A. Cops? #The S.E.A. Corps. It is an organization that are fighting against the pirates and their brutality.# If the pirates and S.E.A. Corp were aginst each other, then this entire scene was an accident waiting to happen. That man had been a S.E.A. Corps member, identification via tatoo, the girl had been considering it, and there were two pirates here. And he was here in the thick of it. Go figure. Did any of them know the others nature? Jerrit decided not to stick around to find out, and the S.E.A. Corps sounded like a better deal. He took out a book from his pack as well as a small ring, and handed the book the the man with the tatoo. "Here. I'll talk with you later, if you want. The book should tell you where to go." Jerrit slipped the ring on his finger and disapeared. Next time, he would remember to take the drink, then escape.

Tom entered the bar looking unsure of herself. Having grown up in a small fishing village with the people she had know all her life, being faced with so many strangers was quite daunting. Tugging at her S.E.A corps regulation uniform (which was itching from being new and all) she strode over to the gathered party who looked on the verge of declaring war. Trying to break the icy silence she smiled tentively and said 'hey, i'm tom eeling from a small fishing village on the fire conitant, hows it going'
well... ask a stupid question get a stupid answer...

HOLY S**T Seno's eyes almost bugged out at the situation. He downed another shot of alchohal. Bookworm booked it outta here like scared rabbit, now I got another chick here. Hmmm if I play my cards right...tons of booze...aw hell, it'll never happen...
"Looking styln' in the uniform," Seno gave a casual salute, too drunk to notice any possible sign of rank. "Pull yourself a seat. Join the party." The slapped down some more of the silver he pilfered from the muggers. "Drinks all around n' some chicken wings." He looked down at his empty shot glass and took a swig straight from the bottle. "Good stuff. So comrade Tom short for some'tin?"

Mishika blinked at the situation around them. She offered this person a drink and dinner, besides saving his skin, and he escapes once too many XY's run into the group. she downed her wine as soon as she could and stood up. "Hello Tom, it's wonderful meeting you." She looked at Seno, almost disgusted. "Hmmm..." she shook her head. She felt something strange about the wench and the girl that followed her over, and decided to stay away from them. Putting a few gold coins on the table for tip, she began to make her way out of the bar, getting out of the uneasy situation. She patted Seno on the head, "I'll most likely see you tomorrow. Be sure to be at work, and dont get into too many fights after drinking," she placed a gold coin in his hand. "Use that for booze, and you'll find yourself without skin tomorrow morning," she warned and smiled at Tom. "Do you mind if I speak to you in private for a moment? Seno here," she motioned to the man she just spoke to, "is going to be drunk out of his mind in a few swigs, and I need some questions answered. May we step outside?"

Audrey retured shortly with a glassful of ale. She stopped short. 'Where did he go?' She looked around the half empty tavern. She couldn't see the book seller anywhere. 'Blast' She thought to herself. Another potential recruit gone for good. She had a odd feeling that he knew who she was.. and perhaps too that Leonor was now in her company. She looked back to the girl, and handed her the glass. "Here.. you may as well relax a bit before the work starts.." She sat down on one of the bar stools and sighed. It was going to be a long and turbulent day. She just knew it.

Leonor pulled up a chair from the table she had been sitting at. She saddled the chair and placed on arm on the back of it. In the opposite hand she held the glass. She took a sip and leaned on her arm. What a weird day it had turned out to be. That book seller had disappeared and the other two girls had went to have a private talk.
'About what, I wonder...?' she asked herself in her head. She took another sip of the ale. She shrugged and continued on drinking.

Audrey turned to Leonor. Her eyes were red and perhaps even slightly puffy. "y-y'know.. ah never thought ah'd ever say this, but.. ah'm really not fit to be capt'n.." She looked down at the polished floorboards of the tavern. Dark in hue; scratched from years of weary travellers hoping to find a place to rest. "ah've tried to keep mah crew satisfied.. happy even.. but they didn't listen to me.. and see now? They're long gone now.. scurvy took em' like gulls to a lone snail.." She paused. Why'm ah saying all this? To someone like Leonor.. She don't deserve to hear mah sorrows.. Audrey sat upright in her chair, and wiped her eyes with the back of her sleeve, just in case any tears were to fall. She was close to her previous crew. Very close. They were like family to her.. She just didn't understand anymore.. Ahm losin' mah touch.. Ahm crackin' up.. Blast tem Corps officers.. It be they who're givin' piracy a bad name.. And with that, she hopped off the stool, and went around to the back of the bar to get herself some sherry.

Well most of them are gone...except Tom here. Odd name for a girl. Seno sighed and pushed Mishika's former seat towards Tom. "So Tom, grab a seat, help a comrade finish this bottle." He turned and showed her his S.E.A. Corps tattoo. "There's my proof I'm part of the honorable Corp."

Mishika huffed a bit, but kept her cool. If they weren't going to go outside, then right here would be fine. Without a chair, Mishika hopped on the table and sat down, facing the window, "Forget formalities, I'd just like a few answers to a few questions," she paused, "For one, who is in charge of the S.E.A. Corps? And how could I possibly reach her?"
