IC: TellusTellus had raised his eyebrows at Lohkar's decision to take the newcomer with on the shore party, but didn't comment. Instead, he stood up and followed Gunner. "Looks like it'll be you an' me keepin' an eye on the ship, mate."

IC: Tellus"Four, Cap'n. As ye no doubt recall, I was back on Xa-Koro, keepin' the Black Spot from goin' broke." Tellus grinned.

IC: Tellus"An' why, Cap'n, would we walk inta a Koro where we're wanted, especially when we're away from the ship?" Glumly, he flipped over his cards to reveal a two of clubs, a queen of diamonds, and a king of hearts.

IC: TellusTellus groaned, putting down his cards. From his reaction, it was pretty obvious that he wouldn't be winning the current round.

IC: TellusTellus took his cards. "Hit me."He turned to Lohkar. "Sounds like a plan, Cap'n! Can't say I much care fore the desert, but it'll be good ta get out of Xa-Koro."

IC: Tellus"Deal me in!" The Toa joined the group of card players. "So, Cap'n, where are we bound for?"

IC: TellusClimbing down to take part in the game, the Toa shook his head as he watched the drunken Mimira. "Rum may be a wonderful thing ta 'ave, but 'tis sad ta see one so young under its influence!"

IC: TellusTellus watched Gunner's rather moody departure with raised eyebrows, before climbing into the rigging and wincing. "Don't tell me 'e still 'as the bloody ukelele!"OOC: =P

IC: Tellus"'Ard ta cut a net when yore wrapped in it an' sinkin'. 'Ard to swim, too. An', if ye can catch up ta a ship designed for speed under full sail, 'elped along by a Toa o' Wind, then yore a very, very good swimmer," the Toa of Plantlife replied.He sighed. "Can we just chuck 'er over an' go? I'm tired o' Xa-Koro."

IC: Tellus"It is when yore in a net. Besides, by the time ye came back up, we'd be under full sail out o' here," the pirate replied.

IC: Tellus"I would say ye ain't cute, Yasurek, but I doubt that'd make ye feel better. Shall we just throw 'er over an' be done with it?"

IC: TellusTellus had been watching in an odd silence. Truth be told, all the talk of rum had reminded him of his time off of the Infernivika, and he had been somewhat lost in thought."Huh? Oh, I say throw 'er over the side. Least amount o' trouble that way." He wasn't even going to try and delve into the conversation about Yasurek being a girl.

IC: TellusTellus, who had gone below decks after the conversation about Raknar had abruptly halted, paused as he saw Yasurek removing spears from the stairway in front of him. "Ye know.... I'm not sure I want ta ask."

IC: Tellus"Oh, ye mean the pirate option! Aye, that 'un's a good 'un." Hearing Raknar, he lowered his voice."If we're goin' ta take option F, I'd recommend waitin' until 'e's gone an' picked up the supplies first. Does 'e 'ave any crewmen, I wonder?"

IC: Tellus"Navigational aids? .... I suppose it's possible." Raising an eyebrow, he added, "Option F? What's that?"

IC: Tellus"Aye, there's little doubt about that. Why would 'e go an' put minin' tablets on 'er, of all things?" Tellus shook his head. "Did ye hear that we've got a monkey named after 'im now?" Hearing Lohkar, Tellus grinned. "I suppose that we should find out what 'e wants?"

.... I call being the guy without the wooden eye! =P

IC: Tellus"Aye, true that," the Toa agreed. "What's that writin' under 'er name supposed ta be? Do ye think Raknar's finally lost it?"

IC: TellusTellus, like many of the crew, had been taken a nap after repairing the hole in the side of the ship. He was awoken by distant yelling. Glancing out of a porthole, he saw a ship that hadn't been there before. There was someone on deck.... looked like a Skakdi..... looked like......... RAKNAR?! The same Raknar that had left him in Xa-Koro!Tellus ran up on deck, squinting at the other ship and yawning. Were those Onu-Koran mining tablets? Who would put those on a ship? Water and Onu-Koran tablets rarely mixed well. With a frown, he somewhat slowly read the other ship's name. "The Southern Charm? What type o' name is that supposed ta be?"

IC: Tellus"It's good ta be back," the carpenter replied, still grinning. "Yasurek, right? Anyway, mate, never, never, never take off for a quick sip o' rum. Ever.""So, what's this plan yore all goin' on about?"

IC: TellusHaving finished repairing the hull with the shipwright, Tellus had been walking around the ship, seeing what shape she was in. Walking up on deck, he heard Lohkar say, "An' I always 'ave a plan.""What plan would that be, Cap'n?" Then, glancing over the others gathered, he grinned and added, "'Ello, mates. I'm back."

IC: 7"Oh, dear. It seems quite determined to terminate our existence." Lacking any knowledge of combat, the best 7 could do was watch."Sir, is there any way I could be of assistance?"

IC: 7"Logic appears to have failed." The small robot began running back to Kreinan, still thinking. The larger robot had attacked them because he had taken the cube, so maybe....He turned to face the other, a safe distance away for the moment. "Stop!" He commanded. "Or I will destroy this cube!"It was worth a shot. Hopefully.
