Prepare for the #LodanRespawn2024 Existing characters may choose to be displace from/have memories of different timelines, thereby allowing returning members the option to retcon their whole character. These changes are the result of the "Unnatural Fog" plot device that is running between now and the Respawn. The plot is simple: no matter where your character is, that place is shrouded in a thick fog that suspends time, but not thoughts or memories, so even if they're repeating the same day over and over again, they continue to remember, so each time feels like a new day. For those retconning OCs; this is where new versions of themselves have the opportunity to replace the old versions. Official lore and tree updates will be announced asap
Rava froze but knows that this doctor seem better then the doctor at home," o .. ok ... just dont go doing anything weird in there ... last man that did coursed my last doctor to do this " taking off her pants leaving her in her underwear and leather top, which reveals a few big scares on her legs, she takes the drink until she felt numb and sleepy enough and got on the table and laid down. not knowing what damage could have been done all she can do is let herself trust this man , hopefully she will not wake up some doo daads in her body " just ... dont give me .... any kind..... of.... blender inside .... me ....please...." she say as she closes her eyes so she does not see her own guts
Ikuze followed behind Caitlin, and when she stopped and gave her that slow smile... Something in her guts dropped like a stone. More so when she said the words mission and best ship. "Eh heh... why's my stomach dropping like a rock in a pool just now at the thought of this... mission with what I've heard so far?" she asked before blinking at the sight of Juniper, instinctively ducking behind the nearest thing she could hide behind... that being Caitlin herself. "Um... you a relation of the big guy on the docks by any chance?" she asked a little tentatively, her body getting ready to scarper if he decided to follow up on family matters... that or pick his own chase with the girl if she'd picked his pocket before today... I should really keep track, drat there's been a lot.
Her ears perked up at the idea of playing for the inner circle of the Brotherhood... whatever that meant. "Inner circle? Eh, guess that's a subtle hint of no using the magical stuff aye?" asked Ikuze looking up at Caitlin.

Caitlin looked at Ikuze dubiously. "That means, use it a little more carefully, and make sure that the guys running the show know that you're 'practicing' your skills. Saves everyone from a streak of hard feelings." Juniper gave a handsome grin and nodded his confirmation that the coordinates were received. Caitlin ushered Ikuze on to the bridge. "C'mon little miss, I think it's time you meet my first in command."
Once it became clear that the whiskey had taken effect, the doctor motioned his son over and started giving out orders for different utensils to be passed to him. They spent the better part of an hour carefully undoing the damage that her previous 'surgeon' had caused, followed by a good ten minutes of uttering curses under their breath once they realized what the point behind it all had been. Together, the father-son duo cleaned up her wound and restitched it nicely. They covered it with an ointment and wrapped her entire torso in gauze.
"Well little lady, that should do it," Fuke Sr. announced to the sleepy patient. "Jr. here can show you to your rack if you feel like sleeping in your own bed. Otherwise, you're welcome to stay here for the night. We take shifts staffing it over night so you'll not have to worry about being left here alone."
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava Gets up still a little groggy but this was not the worse she had been in fact she was felt a lot better , with the pain numbed and she was able to stand up proper thought the bandages limited her body movement its was better then holding herself , knowing she be on a mission soon and what the Pirate said which was until she passed the test she was not one of them so sleeping with them would too early and not right , she got dressed back in her pants , top , boots, gloves, poncho and bandana which for now she tide to her arm for later on "thank you , i got to get ready for my trail so ill have to pass on sleeping for now until then " she got up and headed to the door "again thank you for helping me, I hope I can repay your kindness in the future" she bowed to them both and then headed out, at this moment she needed to outside resting , ready for what maybe be head of her, and somehow known that this ship was heading for the islands of Ca' a'lla , the place where her farther went to die and where her great great Grandfather fell and started all this bloodline mess, it would be the most likely place for sure , it was a holy place both the old fort and the place that the battle took place.
she slowly made her way back up to the quarterdeck and sat down back at the side watching the night sky, it remind her of her younger day , when she was more free and happy with her brothers and sister , singing songs , telling stories , crying over the ones who died that day and burning them, they where simpler times, she remembered a hearing the one story that was endless told about her grandfather, she started to sing it geniality to herself .
"~oh there once was a boy who was lost in his greed ~ he sworn for revenge agents the the Black heart of the Bandit Tyrant Don~vice ~ with blessing from a dead mother~ and the cold steel of his father's swords~ " "with the arms of his friends and the might of the swarm he took down Don Vice and made his castle crumble down~ " "from there on he was known as Roy~ the Green Bandit , King of the Stag~" "he travailed the world with his growing arms and men ~ who followed his code and gain his honor" "but once he set foot on the lands of Ca a'lla ~ he seen a treasure that was forbidden and held by a witch~" " he tried to take it for his own with an army of men and bandits ~ but he was challenged by a Dragon of black" "the dragon of black and the bandit king battled ~ a top of the castle that the dragon called home" " with the arms of the swarms and the shell of the stag ~ but the power of the young dragon was too great for the king" "and so Roy fell from the top of the castle and landed on his own grave stone ~ and so here we are all, regaling his tale~ oh here oh here laid the king of the stag" " killed by a dragon of black ~ " "maybe one day we will meet ~ in the ever limbo of death" "oh here oh here~ laid the king of the stag" "once a Bandit called Roy whose Greed was unmatched~"
Rava stat there after she finished and wondered to herselfmeanwhile in an unknown place , watching using magic was a being "well i may have some guests ... maybe i should meet this Reina de los piratas soon ...."
Ikuze let Caitlin usher her forward... like she had a choice in the matter when the boss was calling the shots. "Couple questions... how many else on this crew can do the magic stuff? Just so I know when my own head's getting messed with. And um... any places I can hide if it turns out I've picked your first mate's pocket in the past and he gets grumpy about it? I seem to keep bumping into old marks a lot since joining your guild." the azure maned thief tried to chuckle.
Post by Caitlin Cockfoster on Nov 16, 2013 22:57:09 GMT
Caitlin narrowed her eyes on Ikuze. "Oh really? a thief thieving from pirates and thieves?? A few of them either thought you were cute and let you get away with it, just to let you get close, or-- you missy, owe your brothers back a lot of coin. I recommend making it a point to get to know who's in your guild hon, because we make a point not to take from each other." Pointing that out made her think of their current situation with Rava, and the 'code of ethics' the stag beetles shared. Caitlin was running a nunnery by comparison. She wasn't so sure how she felt about that.
Fuke jr. followed Rava as she walked off, wondering curiously where the young miss thought she was headed. She mustn't have any idea where anything was aboard the IRONDREAD. Besides, she had undergone the knife perhaps one too many times lately and he was worried about her well-being. When the girl started to sing he listened quietly through the whole song. Once she was finished he cleared his throat.
"ahem, well I must say, I've never heard that one before. And it's a pity, because it's quite good when you sing it."
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava heard the voice of the doctor's son "yeah.... " slowly looking into his direction she showed a bit of openness to him "i heard that song so meany time , its sticks to you after a while," she looked back to the sky with a smile " nights like these remind me of the times back then when i was young, when stories carried so much to them that it help you learned the lessons of the passed. i remember every night in the forests of where we made camp that my father would get us all singing , i remember my 1st time i song it , it was after my 1st mission as a bandit to take out the far west express , i lost my close sisters then, out of 8 of us , only 3 of us returned of the newly trained , it was my 1st time seeing death up close and done both by my hand and by others ..... ,my father told me that there was nothing that we could have done to save them, and what happened was for the best, as we cremated the bodies we moaned and sang that song . now a days its just seemed a silly story , about a boy who became a king from nothing and was killed by a dragon for trying to seal something forbidden" she stopped for a moment to think.
"i learned a lot in my 22 years , and the one think i learned recently is that people value blood and gold when it comes to be a leaders ... if its not a boy or rich.... then it does not last ... guess that was me in there eyes , a throw away baby factory for a bloodline .... but i guessed it cant be helped... they are like that... since it was my grandpa started this mess... "
Ikuze frowned at Caitlin. "Hey, first up, anyone who gets their arse drunk in a pub and has a loose purse is fair game. Second, I ain't picked anyone's pockets since joining this guild. So don't go guilting me alright?" she said before looking out a nearby window and blinking at the lack of ground. No ground... that's... new... Can't even see the water... The azure maned girl took an involuntary step back from the window. She regained her composure before looking at her boss once more. "Girl's gotta eat. It was either pick pockets and run the risk of getting noosed or stabbed if caught, or go doxy... And I ain't going doxy. Any loose purse was fair game. Them's the rules... the unwritten ones anyways. Ask anyone in your crew." the thief said with a shrug. "So... where we going exactly? Still ain't said what this mission thing is?"

Brazen little wench, isn't she? Caitlin thought. Well good, with that kind of spirit, she might prove useful on this voyage after all.
"I'm glad you asked," Caitlin replied stoicly to the young musician. "Our mission involves some thieves, and it will take a pair of thieves to carry it out. I've already got one hand selected, but it takes two to tango... and I think I just found a volunteer for the other half of this dance." She turned to look pointedly at Ikuze.
"You'll be perfect for the job. I've got some things to go over with Navigation right now, so if it's not too much trouble, would you mind finding a miss Rava on our ship and let her know I've assigned you to be her cohort. She can give you all the grueling details in the meantime. I'd start with Medical and work your way from that. That was the last place I sent her." Caitlin really did have to discuss some things with navigation, this wasn't just a way to blow Ikuze off. It was also a way to get the two thieves acquainted before they reached their destination and things got hairy. Fuke jr. frowned. "Well yes that is the way of the world ma'am, no one knows it better than her ladyship. For all her high borne entitlements, the only thing she's good for back home is an arranged marriage to pass on the title of Baron to her would-be spouse. How do you think a lady like herself came to be a rogue?" He reached out a comforting hand to carefully pat Rava on the shoulder if she would allow it.
"But don't let that stuff stop you from having a life. You can be more than what society will make of you. You're in the right place to make something of yourself without their consent. So... don't be afraid to stand up for what you want to be... ok?" He wasn't sure what all was behind her admission, but from what he did know between her impromptu surgery and the words from her own lips, he hoped he was giving her some reassuring advice.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava smiles at the boy and gigged abit "ok , just as you seen i been thrown away so what else can i do now except go about my life and also charged right into a suicide mission for pirates to seal some stuff from your own bandit family left you to your impending death, i dont know whats better" she got up a bit stiff as she faces him as her face turn to normal " just its different between people who are rich and who live as travailing poor thefts are different , as rich they live happy and dont really have to work and throw about there names and fame to get stuff , as for me i had to work my way up and fight and live through places i had to make into hell some times, so even with some escapism a rich person would not know fully about doing a hostel take over of trains , killing and heading people regardless of how rich or poor they are or how much they beg for there life and last of all setting villages and towns a lite and watch it burn as you take them for ever last peace of gold , silver, copper and all value items from them as they cry for help and your forced to end there life as an answer" she looks away to the sky again " in the end no one can really touch a real sense of evil like i have , and i have regrets about all i done and i carry a heavy burden........... one that i wish my son does not have to carry as well .......... i wish they didn't carry any of sins and do the same like what i like before ........" a small tear she lets loss , as she puts a hand on her belly... wishing things where different.
"Who's the... volunteer..." Ikuze trailed off before groaning. "Right... I'm guessing this Rava's the other thief? Great... alright. Later then Baroness." she said before giving a mock curtsey and heading back down the corridor before stopping. "Um, where's Medical again?" she called over. Once she'd gotten the directions she'd make her way down towards the medical room. As she arrived, the azure maned thief knocked on one of the walls. "Hey, I'm looking for a Rava? Baroness said I'm to be her cohort, the feck that's meant to mean, and she'd have the details on what exactly we're meant to be doing for this mission thing. Said she'd be down 'ere? Name's Ikuze." called out the thief.

Caitlin waved Ikuze off and set to work talking strategy with her helmsmen. They were heading into foreign territory, they had to do it inconspicuously and be quick about it. When Ikuze popped into medical and called out for Rava, Fuke Sr. pointed her down the right corridor that would lead the musician to the other new recruit onboard.
Fuke jr. pressed his lips tightly closed in a thin line. He could say a thing or two about the mistress's history; her excommunication with her father the first time she joined the pirates, before they were a brotherhood with the thieves guild... before the war. The part the young baroness played in the war, the long and frightening battles she stood in the heart of, and the battle hardened and unforgivable choices she made to take down their enemies no matter the cost. She wasn't as prim and proper on the inside as she was on the outside.
In fact, she looked more like a lady each and every day than in the days she first joined the outcasts. He personally thought that was a reflection of how much of herself she had lost, and how desperately she clung on to what was left for fear of losing it all. He wouldn't mention it, not to Rava, perhaps not to anybody. Instead he just let the lady think whatever she wanted to. If she believed she had seen the worst life had to offer because her gang had killed a few standby's or they'd stolen her son right out of her stomach then so be it.
She sat her glass down next to the decanter and leaned back. This was nice... like falling into a vat of marshmallow fluff. Calm, muffled, the rest of the world blocked out by the closed door to his cabin, and here they were safe inside. Safe from reality, safe from their own complicated lives. Safe from duty. Safe from context. Just. Safe. --Caitlin
Rava stood there , waiting for an answer but one didnt came .... hopefully a message go through that what she did was worse then what anyone can do. she wiped her eyes and turned to him , her one working eye forced on the boy and his look . "maybe one day you would understand what happened to me more clear ..... but for now lets focus on the present for now " she sat back down on the floor as she got out her cutter dagger, it had not seen action of late as she spins it around her finger , knowing it would have to spill her brothers and sisters blood soon as well at it being something important to her as well as give her an idea if she would have to escape .
she remembered from reading a bandit wanted poster that for every dagger counted for , a sum of bounty is payed in full for each dagger as proof of a bandit death. she through out carefully , getting them daggers would be key to her if she needed a plan D if she would have to escape and all else failed, so collecting them daggers where an extra thing she needed to remember. she now had plan D she just needed plans A through C with plan B being killing and plan C being the plan where she would need to do something big to kill alot of people she still needed Plan A, she would have to wait till they got there. Meanwhile, far away , a fire lights the skies of night as this fire was no normal fire , as cries come from them , a town set a lite as a group of Bandit leaves with bag full of good and a captain drinks to his new leader who was born , a younger man approaches the captain "sir we have taken everything as we could , what are your orders ?" the captain turn to the younger man as he smashes the bottle on the ground after finishing it "get all the good and the woman into the fort and secure them, make sure the man get to the ladies who need a child , we need the extra children for our family growth , also make sure that inventor blacksmith repairs the Arms of the swarm , we need them and the Codex he has for our New leader's rebirth" the young man saluted and ran off to guide the prisoner in cages to the fort "what a great time for the bandits! , Soon we be hole again , an Army of Green!!"

Last Edit: Nov 19, 2013 9:03:56 GMT by Rava: Forgot on
Ikuze nodded at the mechanical man, wondering to herself how someone could wind up being mostly machine like that as she went down the corridor. She leaned against the wall, her guitar dropping so that the head was pointed towards her feet rather than its customary place above her own head. Much easier to lean against a wall when the instrument was angled differently. "Hey, you Rava? Name's Ikuze. Apparently I'm to be your cohort for whatever this mission is." she called over, her feet crossed over one another as she leaned against the wall. "So, what exactly we stealing anyways? Baroness said you'd have the details." the azure maned thief asked bluntly.
slowly turning her head to meet the eyes of the blue hair she look the girl up and down careful , noting the big wooden thing she had "yes i am" from what she could see , this girl was barely old enough to be throwing a life away as a pirate but then again Rava remembers having to fight Orphans younger then her and put up a better fight and a lot of trouble so it was something. " well its unclear to me too of our mission but here are the facts , we are going on a mission to steal from a Group of Bandits that are highly organized and strong which will try and kill us and gut us on sight so unless your scared about killing people this mission maybe too much " Rava kept playing with her dagger with her fingers " so just to warn you if you want out of this , this is a one way mission, no rescue or help ,we be dropped in , go in and steal what we need to seal , if found we will have to fight , not running from these guys since they know how to hunt runners and with your luck since your a girl they will use you a a breeding bag for one of there future ranks if they get you, so hopefully you understand if i say if your going to join me on this then you walking into death or worse "
