We should be pirates.

Molly made a face when he suggested the name and shook her head, "Nah... Not exactly fear striking.... And we don't really have archers..." She gave a smile before closing her eyes. She tipped her head back, trying to think of a name for the ship. It didn't have to be scary it just needed to have some kind of force behind it and easy to remember. Maybe something to do with the sea, their new life would be on it after all. Sea... Sea... Ocean... Sea... Poseidon.... Water... Blue... Neptune.

Her head snapped forward and she grinned. She lowered her legs off the barrel again and beamed at Archibald, "What about Neptune's Fall?"

We should be pirates.

Molly feigned offense, placing her hand on her chest, "Are you telling me that Molly doesn't strike fear into your very core?"

She laughed and pulled her knees to herself, wrapping her arms around them. She pursed her lips, "I don't know... We also have to name our ship. For some reason, H.S.S Merchant Ship just doesn't sit with me."

She looked up at the sky and squinted at their sails, "We also need a flag and proper black sails."

She sighed and looked back to Archie, "Who knew being a pirate would be so much work... We could try and pinch them off some other pirates... Start making a name for ourselves.... when we figure out a name that is."

We should be pirates.

Molly watched him as he spoke and shook her head, "Now you're the one being modest. She laughed a little and looked at him, "Just because you've known someone a while doesn't mean you are willing to ostracize yourself from society to become a pirate and probably lower your life expectancy by a good ten years. Not to mention the possibility of getting hung or thrown in jail. Also, I bring up the point that you had no plan. No one can properly fight other than the odd bar brawl, finding two cooks was a stroke of luck, and the fact that I knew how to sail a ship was just another."

She chuckled, "Ya, no friend is that good a friend."

We should be pirates.

Molly looked at him when he echoed her words. She smirked, "It might not be that far away. I mean... You convinced all of your friends to become pirates... on a whim. No plan, no ship, no money. I had no future on that island, so I don't really count but you drew them to you and carry this air that wants to make them do crazy things."

She laughed, "I'm sure we'll have a proper functioning crew in no time with your air of charisma."

We should be pirates.

Molly laughed and shook her head, "Not a chance... You guys would have managed getting untied from the dock sooner or later," She rested her hands on her knees, "You guys would have managed to figure out the rigging."

She giggled again, "But then, maybe, I am being to modest," She grinned and lowered her legs off the barrel, letting them hang, "And as for you are... Well, clearly, you are Captain Archibald, pirate extraordinaire. Most fearsome pirate on the seven seas."

She shook her head, laughing still, "Well... Maybe one day."

We should be pirates.

Molly walked off a little and retrieved a barrel and pulled it over to by the wheel. She sat on it and crossed her legs. when he looked out to the horizon, her eyes followed. She smiled and nodded, "I think we did," She laughed a little, "Even if not everyone is too happy about me being here..."

She looked back at the man behind the wheel and gave him a sincere smile, "Thanks for letting me come along..." She glanced at the men on the deck before she returned her focus to Archie, "I heard how they reacted.... They didn't really want me here... It was... nice of you."

We should be pirates.

Molly smiled and looked at the map that they had set up on a table, "Good thing couple of these guys can cook. I was starting to like you all we useless," She looked up at Archie and laughed a little before she looked back at the map, "We'll have to stock up again... Our isle seemed to be one of their last stops... There is a fair bit down there but not a lot... It'll last a good while but better safe than sorry. Once we leave, we don't know how long we'll be."

She looked over the men who milled about on the deck below, "We should also see if we can find someone capable of holding a sword..."

We should be pirates.

Molly came back up from under the deck an hour or so later and walked up to Archie. She handed him the list and looked around them. They were on the open sea, no one around them. She looked back at him, "That had everything we have below deck," Well, other than the rum. She didn't need one of them men finding out about it and going looking. No, she'd make sure that they weren't just chugging from the barrel. She looked back around them, still seeing nothing but ocean. She pursed her lips, "Although, of the stuff down there is raw materials and food... Can any of the men cook? I mean it doesn't look like we are going to be anywhere anytime soon.... We should get some dinner ready...."

Chaos

Ophelia was looking at him still red, hoping that the shadows would hide her blush. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "I-I'm sure that the Apollo kids and your camp are great..... I'm just new... that's why...."

She laughed a little when he said that the camp was keeping him on his toes, "You've only been here half a day and haven't seen beyond the fire pit and forest. It is just new and different. You'll have plenty to actually discover if you guys are still here tomorrow..."

Chaos

Ophelia happily sang through the song alone. She normally didn't sing around people unless it was with other Apollo kids. She didn't know why, she had a good voice by default because of her father but she just... couldn't. The only time she every really sang was when she was alone. As she finished the song she looked up, "In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed,
When the sparrows stop their singing," She spotted Seth watching her from the trees and felt herself go bright red, "I'll be... homeward bound again...."
