The tallest of the lot, a beanpole thin lad with an overabundance of freckles, nods down the beach, "Aye, Komodo Roy they's call 'im. A regular bastard, and sure's my name is Jack Ponder he'll 'ave what you need, guvner. He's got everythin' anyone ever needs. But 'e won't talk to the likes of you. You'll need someone who knows 'im well, someone like Kid."Distracted from their recent acquisition, the boys bob their heads in agreement. One of them, a short flaxen-haired lad inquires in a plaintive tone, "Surely that's worth something' to you, guvner? A shilling mayhap or some ale--?"The taller boy cuffs the younger over the head, "What, you think 'e's an idiot? A dozen folks could tell 'im where to find Kid. No, sir, we'll earn an honest wage. Just keep the lot o' us in mind for your next voyage? We're able deckhands and swabs, an' what we don't know we can learn. Kid...you'll find 'im in his cups down on that ol' beached ship they call Th' Coral Curse, scavenging methinks. Best catch 'im afore the sun gets too high cause then he'll move on."[OOC]Ok  [MENTION=11146]CanadienneBacon[/MENTION], that should set things up for Kid's introduction![/OOC]</blockquote>
