Message: <blockquote data-quote="Quickleaf" data-source="post: 6458349" data-attributes="member: 20323">[SBLOCK=Barrington]The hill rises up gently and the lights of the Stuffed Swan inn are soon visible. Wind rattles the tops of the palm trees as Polly regards Barrington with a smile. "Well, if Jim is good enough for your ma' then tis good enough for me," she says teasingly. As they discuss the history of Nassau, with the numerous attacks against it by Spanish and French, as well as Governor Trott's departure for the Carolinas and "Governor" Blackbeard's rise*, Polly's perspective is a bit innocent. Not naive, but innocent in that she sees the world thru a very personal lens, speaking of anecdotes and experiences rather than ideas or philosophies.Though something bothers Barrington about the three pirates they passed, he is hard pressed to pinpoint exactly what. Are they from Hornigold's crew or Jayne McChul's perhaps? Men who he'd fought in the past in the clandestine war waged by the Academie Royale des Sciences? All he can tell for sure is that their boisterous voices grow unusually quiet after rounding a cluster of houses just down the hill a ways, as if they've deliberately fallen silent. Something isn't right.[/SBLOCK][OOC]The current Blackbeard is NOT Edward Teach, who has yet to join Hornigold's crew. Instead, he is another semi-historical pirate whose true identity (and passing on of the "Blackbeard" mantle) may very well be part of your adventures.[/OOC]</blockquote>
