(Whoops sorry I was giving the others a chance to post then got distracted by other things)
“Perhaps I’m thinking about this the wrong way.” Spes muttered to herself as she walked through the tavern. If I try to get the attention of the best Pirates here, well, it won’t matter how much I impress them. They’ll be smart enough to want to know what I’m up to. I should lay low, look for the desperate. They will take a job with less questions. She thought, noticing a boy at the bar dressed in something far worse than rags. That’s certainly a start.
He looked rather small, rather young. That means he’d be inexperienced, but easier to influence, easier to hide things from or easier to make him understand the situation if he does find out her true goal. Younger mind means a more open mind. Plus he’s small, that’s good for stealth missions, assuming he’s not clumsy. With a smile Spes approached him, sitting at the bar stool next to the lad and ordering herself a beer.
“Hey kid, what’s your name?” Spes asked, smiling as she turned to him, offering a hand. “Mine’s Spes. A bit weird I know, my parents were a bit unique if you know what I mean.” She added, suggesting that her parents were crazy people by swirling her finger next to her head. As she talked to the boy, she eyed two men who were searching the place. Those two would be next. -
Orwin seemed certainly surprised when a pretty girl sat next to him and began striking up a conversation. His pride twinged a little when she called him a kid. That's what everyone did, but she probably didn't know any better.
He smiled warmly and shook her hand. "I'm Orwin! I understand having "unique" parents. My poor sister ended up with the name "Estraza". Still, I think Spes is a lovely name for a lovely lady," he said politely, shifting into a more comfortable position. "So what is it that you're here for? No one approaches me unless they're offering help or asking for it." -
"Well I'm doing a little bit of both, Orwin." Spes replied with a smile. She took note of the fact that he didn't really like the nick name Kid but wouldn't correct her on it. She'll just call him Orwin. "See I recently... burrowed a ship, but I need a small crew to use it. I need two people to use the Oars, someone to act as a look out, and someone to cook." She explained. "I'm willing to pay in Totems, which will give you power. I want to collect Totems, and that's what I need a crew for. I'll share Totems I collect with you, and of course I'll also provide food, water, and a place to sleep. How does that sound?" Spes offered as she was given her beer. She drank it as she allowed him to consider her offer.

(Well I didn't mean you Magie.)
Gale looked at Mason and whispered "Hey, I think that girl talking to the dude in rags was looking at us." Mason whispered "Dude, this is no time to flirt." Gale whispered "No, I mean she might be a captain." Mason asked "Really?" Gale said "Yeah. Turn around and act natural." The both turned back to the bar and kept eating and drinking. -
((Emo speaking.))
Shayla look very annoyed at the fact that there was boys there. Ew.. I hate boys. she thought. but yet again they could be useful. she thought. Shayla walked up to Gale, Mason, and Orwin. "Hi. Could you help us please?" She said sweetly. She then plastered a fake smile on her face. -
(Orwin is at the bar and Gale and Mason are at a separate table. It would be a bit difficult to talk to all three of them at once.)
-
(I think you have that backwards.)
-
(Oh wait yeah they are all at the bar whoops nvm)
-
(Oh oops. She walks to Mason and Gale first.)
-
(Oh wait actually... *sighs* sorry yeah I had it backwards. But yeah it probably works that she talks to Mason and Gale first since they need something to do while waiting.)
-
Mason and Gale looked at the girl with blue eyes and Gale said "Probably not. Unless you are a member or captain of a pirate crew and are currently hiring. And if that's the case then yes, you can help us."
-
"I am part of a pirate crew." Shayla said. She knew she couldn't keep her fake smile forever. "I'll agree to help you if you help us." She said writing a contract. "Sign this and I'll help you." She looked behind her before turning back to Gale and Mason.
-
Orwin's eyes glimmered with a bright fascination when she mentioned the Totems. He had always wanted to see one and find out how it worked. Besides, Totems were worth a lot of money and he could make a fortune selling them if he got his hands on enough. She was almost done drinking her beer, so he had to act now.
"Spes, you just got yourself a lookout," Orwin said with a grin, holding his hand out for her to shake it. "When do we start?" -
Shayla grinned mercilessly. She then used her totem to draw a huge crowd using her voice by singing. "Lalalalalalalalalala lalalalalala lalalalalalalalalalalala!" She then stopped noticing that she was drawing attention to herself. "Please forgive me." Shayla said frowning.
-
Mason looked at the contract and Gale said "Wait, hang on. What's in this for us? You can't just as a great chef and his navigation friend to sign onto a crew without a reason."
