Robert

Ooc: Well done Bobo, we'll miss you in this thread till you rejoin us.

Ic: Robert pursed his lips as the Siren winced as he helped her up, when she had stood up and thanked him he saw the blood starting to seep through her shirt. Muttering a curse he quickly helped her over to the now vacant bed and laying her down he started to probe the now open and bleeding wound. Looking up at Rocky he snarled "Dammit man, he's dead and the captains hurt, I need you to take care of the lass there and her uncle if you can. Can you do it? If so get Thorunn to help ya and get me a needle and thread too! You have it on my authority right as of now to do what ya need, understand? And if anyone questions ya, I'll take care of them myself, now MOVE!"

Turning away from Rocky and Lilly, he placed his sash onto the wound to slow the bleeding and reaching over grabbed a bottle of scotch. Placing some on a rag from the earlier work he worked it under the sash to help slow the bleeding. "Hang on Lady, I'm here fer ya, no fears now I tells you." he whispered to her as she struggled to sit up on him. "Stay there Cap'n, I need time to stop the blood flow, and you lost a lot already today, so stay still till I can sew ya shut." he said while he smoothed her hair back from her face. "I can't let ya die on me, a good first mate always goes before his cap'n. 'sides I ... I lo... I mean the crew and I would be leaderless without you.." he said as he added another rag to the pile on her wound.

 

[Bootz]

Lilly sighed as the interruption was made by the first mate dragging her Uncle into the room. She saw it happen...Rocky running into the bullet, her Uncle pulling the pistol, the Siren being pushed away from a bullet by the first mate. This would be the perfect time to get out of here, but she saw Rocky go down like a ton of bricks. She wasn't about to let him die, the one person who saved her life. Now it was her turn, she didn't have very much time, but she worked at the wound with what she had. A needle? and a pair of twizers? Lilly had to get the bullet out first of all, she poked at the wound with the twizers and after ten minutes she finally got the bullet out, she tore a piece of her shirt and tried to stop the bleeding. She took out a small bottle, it's contents was only alcohol and some other element, she poured it unto Rocky's body. sizzling the wound a bit, but cleaning it up. "Your not dead yet Rocky......don't give up", Lilly had have some medical expirience, and she was decently good. Which brought her back to her parents, she despised them both. She hated them for almost everything. She wanted adventure, excitement, and most of all....freedom. she finished with Rocky, the wond was bandaged and taken care of. Her glance went to the first mate and the captain, it was easily seen that the first mate had a crush on her, it was none of her business. She was taken away by a crewman, she scolded him, and told him that she had two feet and could walk. Lilly sighed as she was thrown into a cabin and once again locked inside. She sat on the bed, she had not have a good rest since she came on this ship. So, since she couldn't do anything else, she slept.

OOC: You are NOT going to kill your character unless you say you are. So don't give him up yet!!!

 

[Lady_Siren]

Serena allowed Robert to lay her down on the bed and bit her lip to keep from crying out when he probed the wound. She tried to sit up determined not to appear weak "Stay there Cap'n, I need time to stop the blood flow, and you lost a lot already today, so stay still till I can sew ya shut." he said while he smoothed her hair back from her face. "I can't let ya die on me, a good first mate always goes before his cap'n. 'sides I ... I lo... I mean the crew and I would be leaderless without you.." he said as he added another rag to the pile on her wound. She looked at him curiously settling back onto the bed when he hesitated on his words. She wondered what he had been about to say. Smiling painfully up at him "Look at me, weak as a babe that you have to tend to me" then closing her eyes for a moment she looked up at Robert her gaze meeting his "I'm really lucky to have you, I'm afraid I've fallin in... never mind that let just get this wound patched up shall we"

 

[Darklord]

Robert

Robert's mind was reeling as he took the needle and thread from Thorunn as the blood flow had slown down to a mere seeping from the wound. Placing the needle at the edge of the wound he said "Sorry lady, I'll warn ya now I ain't the best seamstress alive." and with that he went to work on closing her wound up. Squinting with the effort of keeping his aim perfect his thoughts ran wild in his head. "My god above, I can't believe I almost told the cap'n the way I feel! And the way she looked at me, damn, I should have known better to keep me mouth shut. But, but, what had she been about to say before Thorunn came in with the needle? Could she have..... No, no, thats a dream for a pimply boy reading a fairy tale, not a man. There's no way the Lady could harbor any thoughts about me.... Could she?" he thought as he finished sewing her up. After he had done that he placed a new bandage around her wound and got up to get her a drink. As he did so Thorunn interrupted to tell him that Lilly was locked in his cabin for now. Nodding his head he told him to let her go only into his, Rocky's or the Siren's care, only then turning back he took a drink to the Siren.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Serena bit her lip through the whole ordeal refusing to cry out even once. with the wound stitched and covered she sat up leaning against her pillows as she watched Robert. He really was quite handsome. She wondered when she had started feeling this way about him. Ever since she met him she had felt an attraction to him but had hid it as best she could. It wasn't seemly for a captain of a pirate ship to get all mushy over her first mate. So she had kept all her true feelings hidden hoping they would disapear. As luck would have her however they had grown stronger causing more and more heartach and longing to develop within her. Closing her eyes she leaned her head back angry with herself for this weakness. If she told him how she felt he would more then likely laugh in her face. Shaking her head she pushed all those thoughts to the back of her mind where they often lay. She then looked around the room then back at Robert. "I do hope poor Rocky was ok, he didn't take to well to all the blood and such" shaking her head she smiled accepting the drink from Robert "Thank you, I don't know what I would do without you Robert" Her smile was however pained because she knew those words held more meaning then she let on.

 

[Darklord]

Robert

When Serena had asked him about Rocky, he shrugged and replied "He'll be all right, he's never seen a man killed like that before him. He's taken care of people after a fight but never in front of his eyes like that. I had Thorunn take him to a bunk and get him some warm whiskey to calm him down along with allowance to see that Lilly gal." as he finished he handed her the drink he was carrying.

When she had accepted the drink with a smile and said "Thank you, I don't know what I would do without you Robert" his heart almost stopped. To his mind that hadn't sounded like the usual bantering statement it usually was. Sitting down warily he saw her smile seeming a little strained. "Cap'n I hope the sewing isn't hurting? And, I think you would do fine without me, afterall, your a great leader. I just make sure things get done like their supposed too. It isn't much, but I'm proud te follow ya." he sat for a few moments more then turning to her he asked her "Cap'n? I gave that Lilly girl me room, and I was wondering if you'd allow me to bunk in here for that reason and the fact you might need some lookin after with that wound of yours......and I... umm.." as he finished he turned his head to hide the flush now creeping up his neck to his face. He didn't want her to think him infatuated with her, she'd probably laugh him off the ship for daring to think he could love her.

 

[Rockingham]

Rocky knocked on the door twice, before coming in. Lilly was asleep. She moved slightly ashe came in closing the door.
"I'm sorry about all this," he whispered, walking over to her.
This had all happened so fast, he didn't have time to think. Not that he would make up anything inteligent in the first place.
Breathing hard, Rocky slunked down beside the bed. Somehow all the life had just run out of him. He didn't know what to do anymore. All these things happen, and it's so hard to deal with everything. He can handle making soup for seventy people, but this...
He didn't even know how to start.
Why would someone want to take his own life? Did they know something he didn't know? Maybe he went somewhere. Rocky remember someone talking about a place you go after you die. Is that place better than this ship? If that's true, should he go too? This place hasn't been the best lately.
He didn't know what to do though. He didn't even know if he should be thinking these things. There's probably a book out there that explains everything. If only he could read.
"What should I do?"

 

[Bootz]

Lilly had awoken to someone opening the door. She shuffled and changed her sleeping position. She heard Rocky's voice and her ears kinda perked up."What should I do?", was what she really heard, the first thing he said was a mummble. She turned her slender body toward him and gave out a small moan, one saying that she was waking up. Her eyes opened and saw Rocky looking her over. "Hello Rocky.........how are you? " Lilly asked him politely.

 

[Rockingham]

Rocky smiled slightly, but it soon overcame him with a big frown. Rocky looked away.
"I don't know how I feel anymore," he could feel the tears well up in his eyes.
"I just... it's just... I don't understand any of this. Why would someone want to hurt people like that, or hurt himself? I know I'm not very smart, but I'm smart enough to know that killing yourself isn't right."
He looked back at her, "What is this all about? What's it supposed to be all about?"

 

[Lady_Siren]

Dozens of pictures entered her mind when Robert mentioned bunking in her room. Having him asleep in the same room as she, why that would be toture. Sighing softly she did her best to ignore the heat that spread through her at the thought of him sleeping in the same room. But there really wasn't any other way. Looking down afraid he would see what was in her heart through her eyes she said "of course you can bunk in here Robert, I wouldn't dream of you bunking anywhere else. I will have a cot set up for you by this evening" sipping her drink she wished she could gulp it down. She needed to be drunk right now, anything to keep her mind and her heart off of Robert. Keeping the smile on her face "and the stitches feel fine. You are a miracle worker at times Robert and I won't hear any of that shit that you aren't helpful of needed around here. I couldn't.. I..I mean the ship couldn't live without you"

 

[Bootz]

"Hey..I'm the one that should be crying, it was my Uncle afterall, and as for life and death, it happens all the time Rocky." She sat up and gave him a hug. "It's alright, this world is corrupted and cruel, I've seen both sides of it, please don't do my crying for me, your a strong man, someone who could do anything if he puts his mind to it. So please, don't cry over this, think of it as an experience you could always think back to and remember how strange this world is." She said it tenderly to him, and softly, it was the truth afterall. All those years of being inside the rebulic paid off afterall. She hoped that the captain got the idea that she hated being in that world, but apparently she was still being treated as a rat inside a cage.

 

[Darklord]

Robert

When Serena had said it was alright for him to bunk in her cabin his heart made a lurch before beating again. His thoughts tumbled over each other as he sipped his drink wanting to throw it out the window and take her in his arms but knowing he couldn't. Smiling at her next statement he stood up and bowing over he hand he said "I'se best return to the crew cap'n and make sure all the repairs are done before we sail for Tortuga, plus I need to check on our prisoners." and with that he strode through the door only to collapse against the wall in relief once it closed. "My god, I don't know how I'll survive tonight by being so close to her.." he thought as he struggled to control his emotions before facing the crew. Then straighting his shoulders he headed for the brig.

 

[Always]

out of nowhere, Lilly hears a small voice whispering in her ear.

"Hey... Lil... what the hell are you doing here?"

It's Dragon!!! Ice cold tail wrapped around your neck, leeching the warmth from your body...


(ooc: *wink wink* heya dude nice game ya got goin')

 

[Lady_Siren]

Serena watched Robert leave with a sense of regret. She wished she could tell him how she felt. Oh how she wished it. Shaking her head she felt a surge of anger. If it wasn't for her wound she wouldn't be sitting here with nothing to do except think about Robert. She refused to be useless on her own ship, wound or not! Gritting her teeth against the pain she sat up climbing off of her bed. She quickly changed into a clean shirt ran a brush through her hair. She glanced out the window and noticed storm clouds in the distance. 'Great' she thought to herself 'Just what I need, a Storm to keep me indoors for more thinking' sighing she headed out her her cabin climbing up to the deck. Looking up at the sky she took a deep breath of fresh air trying to forget about Robert and how handsome he was. And the fact he would be sleeping in her room. She nodded to one of her crew who said hello. Feeling the wind begin to pick up she shivered slightly watching the sun begin to set. This was going to be a long night.

 

[Rockingham]

Rocky buried his face, hugging her. The tears came, even as she spoke. He had never thought of himself as a strong man, or any kind of a man. He's never been anything but a boy to anyone before.
"I don't know," Rocky wasn't sure of anything, "I just don't know anymore. I've never seen anything like this before, and with someone I knew. He was so nice to me, how could someone so nice..."
His face turned to a succombed expression. He watched the little animal warp itself around Lilly. Rocky seemed to forget what he was talking about, a tear dried on his cheek.
"Awwww, what's that?" he petted it carefully. He loved animals, he was very in tune with them.

 

[Bootz]

Lilly looked at dragon, "it's a long story, something I don't want to get into right now, feel like being a pirate Dragon?" Lilly said that with a wide grin across her face. "Oh this is Rocky, the ship's cook, say what are YOU doing here?"


(ooc: your going to turn this thread upside down Shil, and possibly screw up the plot....let's get started )

 

[Lady_Siren]

The weather changed in a manner of mintuttes.. one minutte it was calm with a slight breeze the next the wind was roaring and rain pelted the ship. Shouting orders to the crew she wondered where Robert was. She could use his help with this. She was about to go get him with a large wave hit the ship knocking her off her feet onto her side. She bit her lip against the pain and struggled to stand up. Shouting at the top of her lungs to be heard over the roaring rain she glanced around the ship hoping Robert would come out soon. Her crew needed someone to keep an eye on them. Especially the newcomers, and right now her wound was beginning to bleed and the pain was making her like headed. 'Please Robert, where are you...'

 

[Darklord]

Robert

As the waves began striking the ship, Robert struggled up the gangway to make it to the deck to help the captain set the ship right before the storm really hit. He had just finished checking on the prisoners and had been looking for Rocky when the storm began to brew. Finally clearing the stairs he headed for the helm to help the sailor there hold the wheel steady.

While crossing the deck he shouted orders to the crew to get the sails furled and to clear the deck of anything that ,ight wash over board during the storm. Finally reaching the quarter deck he hauled himself up to and saw the Siren already there.

 

[Lady_Siren]

Serena had grabbed onto the railing holding on tightly refusing to budge as waves hit the ship. Yelling at her crew she searched for Robert and felt an intense feeling of relief when she saw him coming towards her. The storm steadily got worse as the rain turned to hail. When Robert reached her side she flashed him a quick smile. Her arms had long ago become numb. She wasn't sure if it was still bleeding she was to busy keeping an eye on the crew to check. "This is a pretty big storm I hope this ship can hold out. Shes not at her best what with the damage from Deveree's ship" she all but shouted to be heard. Frowning in concern she prayed the storm would slow down soon.

 

[Darklord]

Robert

Grunting in reply to Serena's question Robert seized the wheel along with the helmsman to keep the ship steady. Muscles bunching they kept her straight into the waves. When he felt he had time to speak her yelled to the Siren "She's taken worse poundings before captain!" and in his mind he thought desperately "Please GOD, let me be right and have her sail this through" as he struggled with the wheel. As the weather got even worse he began to fret about the sails since now the rain was freezing when it struck the deck. Looking at Serena he yelled again "Cap'n! I hate to be the one ta say it, but I think we may need to cut the sails to keep the masts from breaking from the weight if we take on any more ice up there!" and he waited..

 

[Lady_Siren]

Serena frowned looking up to the sails. He was right they needed to be cut but everyone was so busy now. Looking around she couldn't find someone who was not taken with a task. Gritting her teeth she realized she would have to go up there. She had done it before just not with a knife wound. Hesitating only a second longer she looked at Robert "There is no one to do it, I will do it. Just hold her steady, I'm counting on you" she stood beside him as she said this looking at him as the hail pelted down on them. Knowing this might be the last time she saw him she pressed a quick but firm kiss to his lips then with a small smile that was somewhat strained she hurried to cut the sail.

 

[Bootz]

Lilly

The ship rocked like crazy, it sent Rocky to the floor, knocking him unconscious, the door to the cabin swung open. "Come on Dragon...we have to help the crew," Lilly disguised herself as a male, it was an easy task for her considering she knew how to do it. Up on deck she ran fast, the captain was struggling to get to the sails. They needed to be cut, Lilly saw her kiss her first mate on the cheek, it was a small one but she did. With dragon under her neck she didn't even feel the cold. Lilly ran up to the captain, "Cap'n I'll cut the sails......we are not about to loose ya in a storm like this." Lilly then ran to the mast and began to climb upwards, holding on tightly for dear life.

(OOC: sorry I haven't been posting lately)

 

[Lady_Siren]

Serena saw the small boy start climbing the mast towards the sails and shook her head grabbing the boy back down. "I don't know who you are but you don't look strong enough to hold on. But I can see the determination in your eyes boy. You cut this one I will get the other one so it gets done faster and don't worry no one is going to lose me" with that she headed towards the other sail.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

Only a few questions

OOC: Who Plays who? WHere is everyone? And Can I Join? *G*

 

[Darklord]

Robert

ooc: Okay, the rundown as I know of the parts are as follows. Robert: 1st mate and played by Darklord. Lilly: Captive and now crew member, played by Bootz. Rocky: Cook and Nice Guy, played by Rockingham. Serena aka The Siren: Captain of the ship, played by Lady Siren. I don't have a problem with you joining but you gotta clear it with Lady Siren.

Ic: When Serena had kissed him he nearly fell down on his ass from surprise. As he was going to protest her going up top to cut the sails another wave came at them and he helped the helmsman hold the ship steady. Watching her he prayed to god that she would survive. Just then the ship started to heel to the left, and looking at the Helmsman he saw he was starting to falter from over exertion. "Let go of the wheel if ya can't hold it no more boy!" he yelled as he shoved his aside and standing before the wheel he braced himself against it to keep it straight. "Our captains life is on the line you land lubber" he snarled at the man on the deck as he fought to keep the ship even keeled. "God don't get hurt Lady" he thought desperately as he saw her working with another sailor to cut the sails free.
