Bio
I have been actively roleplaying for around 18 years now, since age 15. Which, as you might have guessed, makes me 33. I've done most of my rping on forums, averaging 2 to 4 paragraphs. Though I also LARP, and have played D&D for about 17 years. Real life has become a larger part of my life though, so my activity has lessened. Even so, I don't think I'll ever stop rping. :)

Jacob smirked and only watched as Rei panicked. Though he was mentally preparing for a torrent of verbal assault or something along those lines. As clearly her eyes were blaming him at first. Luckily that quickly changed, and moment later she disappeared into the bathroom. "Well, she's awake at least..." He muttered to himself, still smirking in amusement. After a few seconds the man decided he should get ready too. So he got up and started dressing himself.
When Rei came out again she was fully dressed. She once again apologized and quickly went to the door, apparently wanting to forget what had just happened as soon as possible. But he wasn't about to let her go with just that. "You sure you don't want to cuddle a little longer? What was it again that you muttered in your sleep...I smell of oil and that's relaxing, and I'm cute so that makes things hard?" He questioningly raised a brow at her as if to ask 'what was up with that, hm?' Of course he wasn't sure she was talking about him, but he could still tease her a little bit.
Then as if he hadn't even asked the question he got up from the bed and headed for the door as well. He wanted his cup of coffee, or he wouldn't be properly awake for another hour at least.

Jacob was too surprised to even cry out as he was pulled back to the bed again. And before he knew it, Rei had already latched on to him like a baby chimp to a mother. He took a few seconds to let the current situation sink in, then shook his head slightly. "Really getting mixed signals here, Rei..." He spoke softly. Though more as a joke than being serious. As it was quite obvious that she was still mostly asleep. "Even so, we need to get going if you want to get there in time." To him it didn't matter all that much. But she wanted to be there quickly, from what he had gathered. So this was for her sake.
Deciding to go with a more drastic solution, Jacob twisted around a little in Rei's arms until he could reach one of her ears with his fingers. Then he pushed his index finger behind his thumb and flicked the woman's ear. "Time to wake up. Or at least let go of your improvised body pillow so I can go and get some coffee." He tried to play it cool, but this was one hell of an awkward situation for him. His employer was clinging to him like crazy, and she was refusing to wake up. How the hell did you deal with something like that?

Taking a while, sorry. Life's been hectic. And I wanted to post today, but feeling pretty crappy. I should have time tomorrow and not feel crappy any more though. ^^;
As soon as Jacob saw the scene before him he sighed. "I should have known." He thought. "Making me run errands while she comfortably stays in the room and tucks herself in." He decided to just take things for what they were, figuring it wasn't worth the effort to cause problems over this. After all, there was likely a hefty paycheck waiting for him at the end of all this. And if this kept up, he could just keep it at the one contract. With any luck it would be enough to pay for repairs for his ship, and to keep him going for a month or two.
After undressing, Jacob grabbed his pillow and stuffed his most important items, like his revolver and wallet, inside of it at the underside. The items that were too big, he put under the blankets. And once he himself got under them, he wrapped them around him as best as he could. At the very least he would wake up if anyone, like his current employer, tried to steal it.
----------------------------------
The next morning Jacob woke up as soon as the sunlight shined through the curtains. A quick look at the clock on the wall told him it was 7 am. Though he was laying in quite the different position by now. He had rolled onto his back and spread out his arms and legs a little, taking up about half the bed by now. Even though it was a very big bed. It was normal for him to wake up even earlier, being a ship's captain. But the bed was so comfortable that he had slept in a little.
With a slight groan he sat up and looked under his sheets. His grappling hook and personal logbook were still there. And a quick check under in his pillow revealed that his gun and pillow were still there as well. "At least she doesn't appear to be a common thief..." He thought to himself as he lazily swung his legs over the side. "Hey Rei, wake up. We've got to leave in about an hour if we want to make decent time." He spoke, figuring it'd wake her up at least. In truth they had about one and a half hours at most, but his experience was that employers tended to run a little late most of the time.

You okay hun? Been almost 2 weeks now. ^^;;
Jacob ran a fairly warm bath while looking at what this bathroom had to offer. For one, He reached into his vest to take out a spall leather package. It contained some basic bathroom items. Then he checked inside the cabinet above the sink. It had some washcloths, some small towels, a small bottle of detergent to hand-wash your clothes
Once the bath was ready he turned his head towards the door, and let out a soft disappointed sigh. Maybe Rei really did mean to just sleep in the same bed. When she accepted he had hoped for maybe something more. But he wouldn't complain about it. If it wasn't meant to be it wasn't meant to be this evening.
Jacob had slowly started to relax, and thus forget about the time a little. So once Rei called he frowned a little. It felt like he hadn't been in the water all that long yet. But he couldn't argue with nature calling, so decided to get out right away. "Give me a few minutes to dry off." He called back, grabbing a towel from a small cabinet beside the bath.
A minute later the man exited again, though he had decided to only wrap a towel around his waist for the time being, holding his clothes over one arm. He wanted to wash them before putting them on again. However as he moved to the bed that idea quickly went out of the window. "But..." He muttered, though stopped himself. "Sure, since you're my employer I'll go, but I want to wash my clothes once I get back." It sucked that he had to put his dirty clothes on again. So he decided to take another short bath the next morning. He'd just have to wake up 15 minutes or so earlier.
After dressing himself Jacob went out. He first asked at the front desk, but they didn't have any for sale there. Instead he was directed to a small shop down the street that sold a bunch of hygiene supplies among other things. So off he went.
15 minutes later the man returned again. 2 dollars for a tube of toothpaste. And another 3 dollars for half a dozen pre-boiled eggs as snacks for Peanut. It was on the expensive side. Especially the eggs. But that was to be expected since this island had a lot of traffic going through it. Hoping he would get to wash his clothes right away the man was quick to head up the stairs and back to their room. After a quick knock he opened the door while starting to speak. "I'm back-"

Ugh, I forgot about Peanut the little Fennec Fox in my last post... Just imagine the little guy jumping on Jacob's shoulders again, and once in the hotel room jumping off and sniffing around to get familiar with it...
And just to be sure, you mean after he got toothpaste right?

Jacob was a little dumbfounded at first. Usually that little 'pick up line' of his, if you could even call it that, didn't work. He stared at her for a few second before realizing that she had indeed accepted his offer of staying in the same room for the night. His look of confusion quickly turned into an excited grin as he hopped from his bar stool and followed the woman. "So ah, where are we going? There's plenty of rooms in the inn we just left." He asked. Though instead of an answer all he got was a playful wink before she led him further down the street.
They stopped right in front of the most expensive hotel this island had. And without any hesitation Rei stepped inside. The man thought of protesting, as at least he didn't even have close to the funds to afford this place. But he decided to remain quiet for the moment and see where this was going. If worse came to worse he could just refuse and go back to the inn they had come from. As soon as they reached the counter though that hesitation quickly left his mind, as now he was getting what she was planning. With the best disappointed and sad expression he could muster he sighed and looked at her. "I'm sorry honey~ But I'll be making more money soon! So next time definitely..."
Clearly Rei's little scheme had worked, as the woman gave her the key what would definitely be a far better room than just the 'basic' ones in this place. This time he didn't have to fake his emotions, as he was genuinely excited to get such an expensive room, and for the money of a basic one no less. It would still be pretty expensive, but if this job paid out it wouldn't matter anyway.
Once in the room Jacob's grin only widened. The room was better than anything he had ever stayed at. Plus it had a huge bath! Normally he was stuck with a simple shower. Rei was quick to get back to business though. "Ship? Oh, it's a standard steam powered ferry model, but rebuilt on the inside to accommodate three people at most. The rest is now reserved for cargo. There's also a large gattling gun on the deck in case of trouble."
Jacob decided to check out the bathroom as well, and decided that that would be his first order of business. As he was half expecting that they would have to leave this room again before he could enjoy such luxury. The bath was indeed quite large. In fact, it was built into the room and large enough to fit two people, or three if you tugged in your legs. With that he grinned again. "I'm gonna take a bath. There's room for two so feel free to join." Without hesitation he started undressing as he walked into the bathroom. First his vest and shirt, revealing a not super muscular, but still well toned upper body. Having to do all the work on a ship that normally required at least two people to operate would do that to the body. After that he disappeared behind the bathroom's door.

Well that escalated quickly. xD He didn't think she'd actually go for it. Not that he minds though.
