Conrad was sitting in a booth by himself with his arms crossed as the boy who apparently would be their captain asked them why they were here. Conrad sighed as the Captain came over to him and put the straw to his forehead, [color=00746b]"Well I got nothing to lie about, I'm just here to get rich and maybe find me a lady to grow old with.[/color]

He expected to feel something from the straw but he felt nothing. Maybe it was because he had told the truth or because the straw really didn't have anything special about it. He watched as the Captain went through the remaining crew members before he asked a second question. The process started all over again which bored Conrad to death. Although there was interesting individual who apparently had no form. When he got back to Conrad for the second time Conrad answered flatly, [color=00746b]"The names Conrad Pak but you can just call me Conrad. Or well you can really call me whatever the hell you want as long as I get paid."[/color]

After the "name ceremony" was done the Captain basically explained to them they were basically screwed and their chances of death were incredibly likely. He didn't say anything though, there was no time for complaints there were at the point of no return. He was happy when he was assigned to boarding crew as he would likely get to see some action. After the Captain rambled on about some more nothingness the huge lizard man that seamed to be the first mate lead the boarding party to the boarding area where they were to wait. Conrad looked around at the crew, the boarding party member who stood next to him looked to be a knight of some sorts that was armed with a sword and looked almost impenetrable, [color=00746b][i]'Why couldn't I be behind him?'[/i][/color] Conrad thought to himself and he heard the ship preparing to engage the merchant vessel and the shit storm about to go down.
