[center][b]On the ship[/b][/center]

"[color=004b80]Thanks for the offer but I gotta say no at the moment. Plus Sam, the nice girl who just walked away from us, gets sea sick really easily so I need to stay of sound mind for the voyage ahead.[/color]" Kav put his hands on his waist and laughed heartfully. "[color=004b80]Find me later though[/color]."

[i]Wait, did this guy just temporarily reject me?[/i]

Margot was stunned as she watched the guy do a backflip. Then, Kav shouted to everyone else, "[color=004b80]Hiya everyone. Looks like its gonna be just a short moment before we are ready to go. Everyone here looks so intriguing and I was hoping for a bit of a roll call for this little party we have here. I'll start...[/color]"

Margot did not know how to do backflips, so she had to walk to where all the people were gathered. Meanwhile, she heard Xara walk next to her and say, [Color=9e3366]"By the way, there's so such illness, hormones have nothing to do with casting."[/color]

[color=8dc73f]"Um, my hormones? ... are um.... all over the place today,"[/color] smiled Margot. [color=8dc73f]"They may not be messing with my casting, but they're definitely messing with my mind."[/color]

Margot looked at Xara. At the same time, she reached into her pocket and thought about offering Xara some of her rare time weed mushrooms, but on second thought, Xara did not look like the type person who was interested in those type of things. Plus, there were too many people nearby. So she retracted her hands and left her time weed pouch alone. 

Her mood entirely changed when she reached where the rest of the group was gathering. So many people! So many opportunities! Rich, poor, classy... and low lives like her? Yeah! There were all the sorts of people she could meet! friends, lovers, allies, maybe even... enemies?

Instantly, she came to the decision that she had done the right thing by coming to the capital despite not having any money in her pockets to begin with. 

First, the really pretty blonde woman in a white gown -- named Aleria Lancaster -- spoke briefly about her reason for being here, which was that Aleria was tasked by her church to help everyone on this mission. [i]Why is she really here? Do we really need a white mage?[/i] 

[i]Wait! I should be glad that she's here, regardless of why she's really here. If i get injured[/i] -- Margot shuddered -- [i]I'm gonna need Aleria's help![/i]

Then, Captain Dark Hair spoke. Margot was utterly amazed by Dark Hair's introduction, which was that she -- Ashley Wydcliffe -- was an extremely well off, sophisticated, socially embedded, and highly skilled individual. However, the overall impression Margot got was... well... Margot could not help but notice how much Ashley wydcliffe really [i]really[/i] liked herself. [i]Still, I wonder if Ashley has some rich male friends that she can hook me up with! [/i]

Margot could not resist the urge to introduce herself as well. [color=8dc73f]"Hi all, I am Margot Frete, and to be honest, I don't really care about the southern islands. I just wanna make money and become fil-- rich! And um, i've never been on a boat either, but i figure that if it doesn't hurt you, you'll come out of it for the better! The same for the mission we're all on. I want to gain experience and go on exciting adventures and grow."[/color]

[i]And get famous -- famous enough to marry a wealthy man -- while having my adventures glorified in the history books...[/i] Margot grinned.
