[Color=#00FFFF]“Word of advice, the quickest way to get noticed is to have a hood pulled over your head. Makes you look like an informant or some kind of weird cultist. Take it from a bar rat like myself.”[/color] The elf smiled, his voice holding a tinge of playfulness. He would then take another swig of rum, drowning himself in the savory alcohol as Aleris continued talking. When he mentioned that he comes with powers from his lord, the elf nearly spit out all the rum and looked toward the other pirates. [Color=#00FFFF]“SEE i fucking called it!” He slammed the mug on the table with a chuckle, admiring just how good he was at picking people apart. “I should’ve put some coin on that dammit.”[/color] He would turn back to Aleris with a smirk. [Color=#00FFFF]“Fuck it why the hell not. I’ve done business with all kinds of people.”[/color] Behind his shades, the elf’s eyes teetered on the clown girls. [Color=#00FFFF] “Hell even shadier people than you.” [/color] With that, the barkeep called the final round of drinks. [Color=#00FFFF] “Guess that’s our cue.”[/color] Mikhail turned to Pam who seemed a bit down sullen, she seemed rather in the dumps meaning that it was on him to take charge. Thankfully, he had a couple of tools at his disposal to make it happen. [Color=#00FFFF]“Alright you salty sea dogs, it’s time to reunite with our family. No man left behind.”[/color] Mikhail would raise his mug before slamming it into the wood, earning a sharp glare from the barkeep. He would then knock his head back and down the rest of the contents, the delicious nectar dripping down his chin. The rest of the crew would follow, standing with him and following the elf outside the bar. The weather was much fiercer, pelts of rain assaulted the elf, causing his hat to slink slightly as it absorbed water. Continued down to the dock, the group would put a bit of distance between themselves and the bar. Once he felt adequately situated away, the elf would unpack his guitar. “I’m sorry for putting you this hardship today, but some friends need us.” He spoke silently to his guitar before giving it a strum. A dome of magic would surround the group, preventing any sound from escaping the bubble. [Color=#00FFFF]“Get a man drunk and he’ll tell you anything I suppose. Seems like we’ve got one might to pull this off, with the dock empty, the storm giving us plenty of cover, and security being non-existent. We’re got a real good shot at getting our friends out of that jam.”[/color] Mikhail would turn towards the men at the docks. [Color=#00FFFF]“You all will be in charge of ensuring we’ve got a firm getaway. If we don’t return by first light, assume the worst.”[/color] Mikhail would then turn to the couple of clown girls and Aleris. [Color=#00FFFF]“We’re gonna head in to retrieve the captain. Her name is Isabella, pretty lady with tawny brown skin and chestnut eyes. But she has one hell of a sailors' dialect. Can’t miss her, the other one is a girl named Jane. She’ll probably look quite different if they took off her makeup,thankfully I’m sure her girls know her face. Once we cross the dock, we’ll enter through the sewer drain. It’s gonna suck but it’s the best chance we got. From there, we’ll clear the floor and look for our people. You see a threat, you ice em. If all goes well, we rendezvous back at the sewer tunnel.”[/color] Mikhail looked at the long dock with a smirk. [Color=#00FFFF]“Let’s go, and don’t tell in the ocean please.”[/color] Mikhail would strum his guitar once more, this time a line of darkness would cast out before him. Snuffing out the light, he would play a soft note every second or so all the way up to the tower. The sound of a soft note serving as Aleris and the clown girls guiding star in the darkness of night.
