To All Those Seeking Adventure[anyone; 4 most]

[Milly]

Ooc: I'm just going to restart this. Anyone can join again. I hate hackers.

Bic: Sam walked along the rode of the small seaport town. It was pretty busy for such a small village. Shops lined the way and large groups of people crowded around them, blocking any site of what was sold there. The smell of dead fish, tobacco, and gunpowder hung in the air almost hiding the smell of the sea. People ran past Sam, going on with their lives, not paying her any mind. That was just fine with her. She was too lost in her thoughts to even watch where she was going.

Her right hand rested on her quiver. Her eyes where fixed on a piece of paper the she held in her left hand. She held it out in front of her and read it over and over. Her smile growing larger every time. It was a flyer, which a large man had given him. It had caught her eye from the moment she had looked at it. It read:

To All Those Seeking Adventure


Are you an adventurer? Do you long to know the mysteries that lie on the other side of the see? Well, then you are in luck. An expedition has been planed to do just that. We are in need for a few brave souls to join the crew of our airship.

To sign up please come to dock 18 and present this flyer to Captain Dolhov.

Then it trailed of to safety regulations and other things that didn’t really seem to matter in Sam’s opinion. Airships, mysteries, adventure; it all seemed too perfect. This was just the type of thing Sam had been looking for. She finally looked up from the paper and smiled. She was almost to the shipyard. She could see the masts stretching high above the buildings.

It didn’t tack very long to reach the ships. The docks were so large and open that the only non-salty smell around was the one of dead fish. She guessed that came with the ocean. I front of her there was a sign with a large number three on it. To her right was another sign with a two and a four to her left. She turned left and ran. Excitement filled her like fire. She could see the dock before she ever saw the sign. There was only one airship.

OOC: Hi milly I'm in again with my characte esdon(link in sig) I hate hackers.

BIC: Esdon gazed across the long docks spoting many ships and hundreds of people running about the place doing there trading. As esdon glanced up he smelt the smell of fish and grease this was definitly a fishing town he thought as he looked up to find his eagle conpaion stri who was fetching him a flyer. Stri didn't usually take this long to fetch a simple peice of paper but esdon wasn't worried because stri may only be an eagle but he can take on a fully grown wolf in combat. Then as he stared at a ship called the emless he spotted stri flying at him with a fish in his beak and a wet preice of paper in his tallons. As stri landed on esdons shoulder holding out his foot so esdon could take the paper esdon commented to his friend.
"So you've been off fishing" Esdon said smiling as he took the scroll from his friend and read it. Esdon tucked the scroll in to his belt and ran off to the docks for he had found an adventure and one on a airship which esdon had always been interested in. Stri who had taken flight as soon as esdon started running hurry after esdon in persuit. As esdon ran past a sign saying he was heading the right way he couldn't wait till things started happening because a quieter adventure after his recent saving the country of vendarmore would do the paladin much good.

Sam finally reached the right dock. It hadn’t taken her very long, but now she was out of breath. She skidded to a stop and panted for a second before running down the dock. It was packed with people loading supplies onto the ship, shouting orders, trying to sell things, or just sitting around. She stopped again halfway down the way and tried to look for someone who might be this Dolhov person. It was pretty crowded on this dock and it would take a while to find out. She would have to ask someone. She glanced up at the large ship, which hovered a few feet off the water. She had a strange feeling of comfort that she had not felt before, or at least not that she remembered. For some reason she could not stop staring at the ship.

“It’s a beauty, in’t it?” said a rough voice at her shoulder.

Sam looked up at the man that was now standing next to her. He was a rather large man with graying hair and a rough short beard. His nose and cheeks where sun burned and his face wind torn. He smiled revealing a row of yellow teeth.

“Ah….yeah,” Sam said still panting from the run here.

“Sorry. Name’s Daman Dolhov,” the man said extending a large rough hand.

“I’m Sam. You’re Dolhov? Like the guy on this flyer?” Sam held up the now crumpled paper. Dolhov gave a low chuckle and Sam caught a sent of alcohol.

“Ain’t you a bit young?” Dolhov asked with a sterner look on his face.

“I’ve traveled the world for as long as I can remember, alone. Don’t worry about my age.”

“All righ’, all righ’. Welcome aboard. But we only need extras. Yeh know, fer scouten an’ such. Main crews all full.”

“That’s fine with me.”

“All righ’ then,” Dolhov reached into his pocket, pulled out two pieces of paper, and pointed to each as he talked, “Fill tha’ one out an’ sign tha’ one. Jus’ for safety an’ what not. Oh an’,” he reached into his pocket and pulled out a rather grimy looking slit of paper, “take tha’ to the town Tavern. Jus’ go ter dock ten an’ take a righ’. This’ll ge’ yeh a nigh’ an’ a meal. We’re leaven termorrow mornin. Don’ be late.”

“Thanks,” Sam said taking the papers. Then she started back down the dock, this time walking. She looked up at the airship as she did, not really watching where she was going. But as a man ran past her she turned to watch the stranger. She didn’t know what was odder about him; his blue hair or the eagle chasing after him. She laughed to herself and continued on her way.

*His hair. Defiantly his hair,* she thought.

[lord of hunters]

OOC: Nice post I like the comment on how unusual my characters hair is.

BIC: Esdon came to a sudden stop in the middle of the dock he glanced back at a girl about his age, by her appearance looking at him unusually she was wearing black clothing.
She was strange but not as strange as I appear to normal people esdon thought. Esdon gazed around the dock spotting people working away and some just sitting there acting like there to good to work. Esdon spotted a large man yelling orders at some sailors carrying a huge wooden crate and appeared to be struggling to do so. Esdon approached the men as one stumbled backwards. Esdon lunged forwards and grabbed the box stopping it from crushing the man. As Esdon assisted the men in putting the crate on a board for the crane the man who Esdon saved wander away with a look of shock on his face. As Esdon and the other men put down the crate a large man approached.
“So you saved one of me crewmen a guess I owe you one” Said the man.
“So it’s your man so then your captin well then you can help me” Esdon said as he pulled out the scroll and showed the man.
“Well then your in as a can see you can handle yourself and are very strong” the captin said glancing at his many blades. The captin then held out two forms. ”Fill out these and you’re on the crew” the captin said while smiling at Esdon. Esdon took the forms and set off for the inn that the form mentioned. Then as Stri landed Esdon spoke quietly to his friend.
“Well I think he might use us so let’s keep an eye on him” the bird nodded in agreement.

OOC: Note Stri has a near human IQ so treat him more like a person

[Milly]

Ooc: Okay and thanks. I’m just going to skip to the next day.

Sam ran from the bar. The sun was just coming up and she wasn’t sure if she was running late or not. She pulled her blade and bow onto her back as she ran. The papers she was too give Dolhov clutched in one hand. She ran past several people almost knocking them over. There weren’t that many people out this early, so she made it to the docks pretty quick. She ran back to the eighteenth and up to the ship. Dolhov stood there greeting the crew as they came. He looked up at her as she walked up, still panting.

“H-here,” She said giving him the papers and starting up the ramp to the deck.

“Wait, this isn’t filled out all the way,” Dolhov called to her.

Sam swallowed hard. She hadn’t remembered half the answers to the questions on the form. They asked about her past and family. She tried to think of what to say, as she turned around.

“So,” she said in the toughest voice she could manage.

“So, yeh need to at least fill out the places you’ve been and such.” Milly walked over to him and stood where she was as tall as him.

“I’ve been to place that you can’t imagine even in your worst nightmares,” She said in a voice quiet unlike her own. “I’ve seen things you’d never even know existed; horrible things. Whenever I think back on it my stomach flips. Do you really want that on paper?”

Sam crossed her arms and turned around, leaving Dolhov with a rather dumbfounded look. As Sam walked up to the deck she had to try to muffle her laughter. That was the biggest lie she had ever told and the look on his face was priceless.

[lord of hunters]

OOC: I don't mind the skip but I have a question what kind of airship is it a big wooden one that looks like a sailing ship or a metal one like off final fantasys.

BIC: Esdon smilied as he appraiched the know dumbfolded captin at the girl in blacks lye. Esdon couldn't help listening as paladins sharp ears pick up every vocie in a 20m radise and besides it was quiet hummours. Esdon stopped infromt of the captin and stri his eagle friend was holding out esdon forms in one of his tallons. The captin looked at the bird in surprise and took the forms.
"Everything seems to be in order here but whats with the bird" the captin said after reading through the forms.
"The bird goes were I go and thats final" the captin smilied.
"Well I need a lookout can he work"the captin said smartly as stri gave him an evil stare.
"Well hes smarter than you and will listen to anything I say so yes" esdon said back causing stri to start laughing in a very human like manner. At this esdon turned away to wait for the lunch. Then he decided to talk to the girl in black when he spotted her standing by the ship. Esdon appraoched causally and stopped next to her.
"Well that was a nice lie you told the captin but it might of worked better if you didn't change your vocie" esdon said to her like they were friends.

Ooc: I never thought about that….let’s say the first one so we don’t look like we’re copying off Final Fantasy.

Bic: Sam looked up at the comment, still half laughing. There stood the guy with the blue hair she had seen earlier. The eagle was perched on his shoulder. Her smile broadened and she forced herself to turn away, to stop herself from laughing again.

“The sad part is,” she said when she had control over her voice, “I think he believed me.”

She had been standing near the rail of the ship, looking down at the water. She had a strange feeling of happiness on this ship, but pushed it aside as excitement. Sam leaned against the rail again and looked up at the man next to her. His eyes matched his hair and she could just make out the tips of pointed ears. She smiled again and turned her head to the ocean. The reflection of the newly risen sun sparkled in the water.

*So he’s not human,* she thought.

“I’m Sam, by the way,” She added after a while.

Ooc: I don't have a lot of time to write at the moment, so I might be late. We're planing a party this weekend.

[lord of hunters]

OOC: sorry about my latness was at my mates over the weekend.

BIC: "Nice to met you sam" esdon said cooly "by the way my names esdon and this" said esdon pointing at stri " is stri my conpaion it would be wise to treat him like a human for he understands english and he has a near human IQ". At this sam turned to look at them both strangly and then turned away. Esdon heard her giggling and though she felt him funny. Esdon turned away to go bellow deck.
"I'll advise you to not laugh at my appearance if you value your life for I have little tolorence over that sort of thing" esdon called back as he went bellow deck.

OoC: well you did say anyone, so I guess I qualify, My character is Osbeorn

BiC: Osbeorn walked slowly up the street of the little village. The tiny houses and little people made him feel abnormally huge, though by many people's standards he was. He walked up the street, his huge ax resting on his shoulder. He was looking for the ship he was told could get him back to the wild, on anywhere other then this little town. He saw the ship, it's crew busily moving crates and barrels around, preparing for their journey. Osbeorn walked up to the man whom he assumed was captain of the ship, "Am I correct in that you still need crewmen?" he asked in an indifferent tone. The captain turned and looked up with great shock, "We're... uh...full.." he said hesitantly,
Osbeorn grunted with annoyance,"Then you'd better make room little man, I'm not in the mood to go looking for another vessel."
