The Seas of Blood - The Price of Fame (Chapter One)

[Phoenix]

Swoops walks quietly up to the lady "M'lady, you lead a fine chase. But a jewel such as you does not escape my eyes so easily. Might you honor me with the knowledge of your name, and the chance to remain in your presance?"

The beauty turns and looks at Swoops with a judgemental eye. "Perhaps, perhaps. First though, brave sailor, could you explain to me why you have wandered into the sacred sanctum of Matrice's virgins?"

A look of suprise and worry crosses Swoops face, and he does not hide his own disapointment at noticing this prediciment he now finds himself in. "Well, yours is beauty that draws one to remain oblivious to all else m'lady. With your word, I shall leave and be haunted by the memory of your beauty, but I ask that you allow me to repent of my transgretion, and allow me to remain in your company for a bit longer."

The lady laughes, throwing her head back with a devilish smile and looking at Swoops from the boots up. She stands up and lounges against the marble pillar seperating the large open windows.

"Then if shall remain here I best know your name, for when the guards arrive to through you in jail they will need it to charge you of your crimes."

"Well, I will graciously leave if you wish to get the guards involved, but I shall bear you no harm." Swoops does a flourshing bow while saying "How rude of me to not introduce myself. I am Johnathon m'lady, and I am wholey at your service. May you at least give me the pleasure of knowing your name before you try to have me arrested?"

"Well then, Johnathon. I am Cassandra, Second Sister of the Order of Matrice." Cassandra saunters across to Swoops, her eyes dancing across his body as she circles him. "But I think that I can forgive a man brave enough to walk into the heart of danger just to talk to me, tell me a little about yourself Mr Johnathon."

"Cassandra, what a lovely name. Tis a pleasure to meet you m'lady." Swoops takes her hand, if allowed, and bows down ever so gentilely to give it a chaste kiss on the back.

"Myself? I am but a simple ship's captain. Braving the high seas, hoping to make a name for myself, and keep as right of the law as one can in such a dirty business."

"Now, forgive me m'lady if I show my ignorance, but I know nothing of the Order of Matrice. Mayhaps you would tell me what the order is, and what brings a magificent woman such as youself to serve the order?"

"But I think that I can forgive a man brave enough to walk into the heart of danger just to talk to me..."

[Ackbar]It's a trap![/Ackbar]

""What is the name of your vessel and Captain, if I may ask?"

Bart looks the Half Orc up and down again, then decides to take the risk. After all, he thinks to himself, if 'e stirs up trouble 'e'll be explorin' the harbor floor.

"We'll now lad, tellin' ye that without you knowin' me name would be rude." He sticks out his hand and says, "Bartholomew Jenkins, at yer service." After shaking (or not shaking) hands, Bart continues, "Oi serve under Cap'n Jonathan Swoops aboard the Moon Goddess. That fine ship roight over there." Bart points out the Moon Goddess as they approach it.

"A pleasure Bartholomew" says Trav'nul shaking the old salt's hand with one of his meat-hook like hands. "Well, that is a mighty fine looking ship at anchor there. Your Captain Swoops must be quiet successful to have such a fine ship"

OOC:[sblock] Would Trav'nul have heard of Captain Swoops or the Moon Goddess?[/sblock]

Cassandra smiles, creating a wave of ivory that would melt the hearts of an armada of vessels. "Well Mr Johnathon, the Order of Matrice serves to bring love into the world. We serve the nations in creating joyous festivals so that everyone can enjoy themselves. We also seek things of beauty so that we can share them with others, such a thing as beauty cannot be kept to oneself after all..."
