[centre][h1][color=chocolate]Marcus[/color][/h1][/centre] [@Utrax][@Squirrel98][@Blade17] [color=chocolate]''I wish you luck with your quest, your majesty!''[/color] yelled out Marcus after Tol, satisfied to have him out of the way. It seemed like he was looking for a confrontation and Marcus was certainly not in the mood to fight. His arms were worn out after carrying the stolen goods the whole night and he ached for a moment of rest. He turned to the guard, who he felt pity for after seeing one of the people he worked for acting like a child: [color=chocolate]''Thank you for understanding kind, sir. I will try to return as soon as possible''[/color] The fearlessness in the guard's voice concerned him slightly. Any normal person would be somewhat wary, even suspicious of anyone who requested to bring in a weapon to a castle. Nonetheless, he wasn't going to question it. If he lingered too long, they might use other means to get him to the castle (the brutish prince would probably enjoy using force to transport them) and they could be hanged for disobeying the royal family. Saluting to the guard, he strolled on board, only to pause in shock. It took a moment for him to regain his bearings and when he did he demanded:[color=chocolate]'' What in the seven seas are you all doing?!''[/color] The ship was in a disarray. No one bothered to clean the upper deck, half of the crew was in his PRIVATE chambers, and Blake for some foolish reason was halfway through climbing towards the crow's nest. Angrily he ordered: [color=chocolate]''Everyone onto the deck! I have some news. Don't touch anything in my quarters unless you want to be stuck on the cleaning duty.''[/color] [hr] [centre][h1][color=8493ca]Anya[/color][/h1][/centre] [@Blade17][@Squirrel98] Anya nodded at Hope and Jack as they entered. It looked like it was going to be a tight fit but she was sure that they could make it work. She was growing more worried about the girl, but it wasn't the first time a fight broke out near or on the ship, and the nymph knew Hope could handle her self. Still, she was considering sneaking her below deck so she could calm down away from the commotion. There was no time though. Watching Blake climb towards the crow's nest annoyed Anya. First of all, it was going against the plan, and second of all the crow's nest was HER area. Off-limits. No visitors allowed. Besides the sun was starting to rise. From the angle the ship was situated, the shadow cast by the pole and the nest would be visible on the docks, meaning that Blake's shadow would be visible too once the sun rose. It was too late to stop him though but at least she could try protecting her lookout box. She whisper-shouted:[color=8493ca]'' Stay out of the nest or I'll make you spend the night there. Then you'll see why the cabin boys hate the lookout duty and...''[/color] She was interrupted by Marcus emerging onto the boat. Awkwardly she repeated the instruction to gather onto the deck to the rest of the crew, not too eager to find out what Marcus had to say.
