Beth Blade-Spinner surveyed her ship from the helm. She inhaled the deliciously crisp sea air. The Sea Cutter was just about to make port in Tortuga where she needed to find her crew. She had one crew member with her now. Jack Flint, her lookout, helped her keep a ship that could not be manned by two people afloat until they made port. "Here she is Jack," she called to him, "The infamous Tortuga!" she said pulling her in.
She climbed down off The Sea Cutter. "It's three shillings to tie yer boat up at the dock," the dock master said, "Or one shilling for a favor." he winked. Beth punched him and dropped three shillings on him.
She entered the pub and set up a table for signing on to join her crew.

"So, Cap'n, how many of these lanbubbers do ye think we'll be gettin this round?" Jack looked around the pub uncertainly. It was decently lit... Not the favorite of piratical figures.

"Gettin' us selves a proper crew," she looked at him, "I know you don't want to relive the trip here so we need someone, or rather three to five someones." She looked at the crowd unimpressed. "I'm sure there's someone in here seaworthy." she grimaced at the crowd.

"Ay," Jack's response was short. He was a solitary type who really truely loved only two things- the sea and his other half, Elyse. This kind of gathering was not the kind of thing that he usually enjoyed doing. He placed his hand on his sword, just in case anything should go wrong.

Just then there was the sound of yelling comming from the other side of the room at a card table "Look mate, ya lost now gemme me money." The first Pirate yelled then pulled out a sword, holing it to the other pirates neck. The two got lost in a sword fight for a few minutes untill the second pirates sword flew out of his hand. "Now I aint afraid o'gettin' some blood on me sword, though I'd rather not." The raspy voiced pirate said. Eventually the seconded pirate paid up his debt, then left the tavern in defeat.

"Oi" she yelled to the person the raspy voice belonged to, "Would you be interested in joining me crew?" She thought this pirate looked promising. "Jack!" she whispered to him, "I think we got a bite!"

"Heheheh..." Jack laughed under his breath. "It would appear that we have." He stared down the swordsman. "He looks fit enough. He'll do nicely." A waitress in a revealing outfit came up to their table suddenly. "Ahoy," she said, "Might I be interestin' ye in a drink?" She directed this at Jack directly. "Aye, I suppose. I'll have a brandy." "You betcha," came the whores reply. She smiled a big smile, and walked to the counter. "What do ye think of that, Cap'n?" Jack turned to Beth, looking at her eyes.

I look in the direction of where the two were sitting. "A crew ya say?" I asked, "nd where might I ask is said crew headin'" I went on as I walked closer to them, counting the money from the bloody fool I beat in the card game, and then in the fight, and drinking my bottle of rum. Being apart of a crew again sounds nice. It's been a while since I sailed on a ship, back when I was Captian of the 'Hell's Child'.

She looked to Jack, they hadn't actually discussed where to they were sailing. "Where every takes our fancy," she told her, "I hear Isla del Fuego is nice this time of year." She sat back in her chair taking a swig from her bottle.
