Pirates II -- Come on, Be A Pirate (Please do not delete)

^hehe sorry about that. I didn't know we had to wait.:eek:

You know what? We've been stalling for a bit. Let's move on, shall we?

Pretend that Beckett and Saruman somehow decided to let the Dauntless go.

"Cap'n, they're a mile away already and they seem to not be moving," Aravis overheard a sailor tell Machia. She swalloed as she began DVing the rest of the pirates to meet her up on the main deck. After nodding to the sailor, Machia turned to meet Aravis's gaze. Both smiled at each other sarcastically and returned to serious mode with every step they took forward. In a matter of seconds Fish was already by Machia's side while the Pirates were behind Aravis.
 
Kris was banging her head on the eage of the boat.
" arr ye think I need to do something but what," she said to herself still banging her head.
 
"Machia so nice to see ye" Aravis said with a fake smile. One step further and Machia already had his pistol pointed at Aravis. "Yes, I git it. This be yer ship. Although, I wouldn't take pride in owning this vessel. 'Specially when it was a gift from the wizard. Don't know he ye 'ave the nerves to own up to it."

"Machia, I think ye best lower yer pistol. If ye shoot Aravis, you'll be dead before she hits the deck."

ooc: No offense to anybody. It's all in character.:)

For the last hour, while he had been fighting, Machia'd been working up his courage to tell QA48 and the rest of the crew that pretty much all that had happened to them: The lives lost in the battle, the loss of Olorin's ship... Everything... All came back to his mistakes. That if they needed someone to blame for it, he was it because it was his fault... But when it finally came to the point, when Aravis stood on one half of the deck surrounded by the few pirates left from the original crew, all of them bloody and bruised... He found he couldn't do it... He found it was a whole lot easier just to pretend like he hadn't done anything wrong and go back to blaming everything on Aravis...

"Arrr... Yes, this be my ship Aravis, not because the Wizard gave it to me... He gave me nothin' but a bad taste in me mouth... I stole this ship from under his large nose... This is my ship now, an' yer on it because o' my generosity... Keep that in mind while ye stay here..." He twirled the pistol in his hands and called to Norrington, who was still at the helm... "Arrr... Norrington, ye slimy wizard's puppet... Set a course fer the closest Spanish port..."

"Predictable," Aravis thought. She extended both her hands towards Machia. "Ye might as well throw me in the brig. All I ask is fer me crew to not stop calling me Cap'n and that they obey yer orders. We'll git off this ship at the first port we sight."

"Arrr... I think yer confusin' me with the Wizard, thar Aravis..." Machia said taking the hat off of a passing pirate and putting it on his own head... "Thanks, mate..." He muttered then continued, "Unlike him, I'll treat my guests well... I'm not puttin' ye in the brig... Ye an' IOWW will take two of the on deck cabins an' stay thar.... Ye'll be well fed an' allowed to keep yer weapons if ye wish.... The crew can have the second level quarters fer sleepin'..." He fumbled in his pocket for an apple...

"All I ask in return is fer ye ter remember that I'm in command o' this ship and Fish is the second in command... If either of us are away, ye can talk ter Norrington... An' I would also have the crew, after they've cleaned up a bit, ter assist me sailors in gettin' this ship to a port... If yer crew can't accept these terms, then I will have to put 'em brig.... Savvy?"

Aravis hesitated to answer to Machia. She looked at him suspiciously and then turned to her crew. "I don't know...I don't feel right 'avin' ye work fer him while IOWW an' me sit around doing nothing. But at the same time, I refuse to work for him," she told her crew. She turned once again to Machia, "you fail to agree to let us go when we sail by the nearest land."

Machia pushed his hat lower over his eyes and gave a half smile... "Of course, Aravis... Ye have me word as Cap'n o' this ship.... I'll let ye an' yer crew off at the first port we come to.... Well..." he hesitated, "I should have said, all yer crew, 'cept any who have landed themselves in the brig..." He finished with a faint laugh.... "I hope yer crew keeps that in mind...."
 
OOC: I fail to recall starting this thread... :D

You know what the splitting means, of course... I HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE THE NAME OF THE THREAD!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :D

IC: Azgar had stood by, watching the conversation between Machia and Aravis. Now he stepped forward. "Excuse me, Machia, but I fail to see how YOU were the one who stole this ship from Saruman."

Raising an eyebrow, Aravis crossed her arms. "So let me git this straight," she said. "Ye want me crew to work fer ye while me and IOWW sit around doing nothing?"

Fish came up from below deck in time to hear this comment. "Machia, can I speak to ye fer a moment...?" She asked slightly timidly.
Machia looked confused for a second, but nodded.
Once they were out of earshot of Aravis, Fish continued. "Matey, how much has really changed?" she said exasperatedly. "Has it really been so long since we both expressed sorrow o'er this whole mutiny thing? Allow me to refresh yer memory:

Machiathemarshwiggle said:
"Arrrr... This crew is way to organized fer me... Not to mention they're all workin' fer Saruman..." Machia said, glancing back at the crew... Then, glancing first at Fish, he stared over the railing into the water... "Gar, I know yer probably thinkin' the same thing but, even though I wasn't as happy with Aravis' Cap'n job as I could have been, I don't want her, IOWW or anyone else dead... I... I made a lot of mistakes back on the island an' Olorin's ship, and said some things I probably should have thought about more clearly before sayin'... Arr, I don't know..." He continued to stare at the ocean... "An' now I may have made the worst mistake, by joinin' with Saruman, but I was selfish, an' didn't want ter go back to bein' that Wizard's prisoner..." he looked at Fish again, "But I'm goin' to try to put things right again... I don't want any o' the other Pirates dyin'... We've got to warn Aravis, we've got to get out o' here and this fleet has ter be stopped... Even though I've made a lot of the mistakes that led us here, I hope yer still with me as my fellow officer... Arrr... Ye got any ideas?"

Fish was silent and just looked at him. "Matey?" She spoke up after a moment. "Machia, I can't remember to call ye by anything but yer name. Ye were Aravis' first mate, and ye never called her Aravis. Ye always called her Cap'n. And I have to think very carefully each time I refer to Aravis so that I don't accidentally call her cap'n anymore. It jest...it jest ain't right." Fish sighed and looked around at the Narnian pirates. They were all together again. "Machia, ye said that ye don't want any o' the other pirates dying. Well, ain't droppin' them off at the next port basically like sendin' them to their death? This ain't Narnia. I'm jest saying...oh, I don't know what I'm saying. This is yer ship now. Do as ye please."
