Voyage-RP

[Moosetroop11]

A man paces up and down a harbour, in deep concentration. He looks about twenty five, though he has grey hair. He's wearing a brown coat, and looks weary. Next to him is a huge ship bobbing gently in the ocean- people are atop it hammering and rigging sails. A young, nervous worker hurries up to the grey haired man.

Worker: Captain Fallen, sir!

Fallen: *Agitated* What is it?

Worker: We-We've recieved word. There have been several people who wish to join your crew. They will arrive for a meeting with you later on today. Sir.

Fallen: ...Good. when?

Worker: No specific time, sir. THey've been told to arrive this afternoon, and they'll spend the night here at the docks.

Fallen: Tell the kitchens to make something slightly less distasteful than their usual garbage, if that's possible.

Worker: I... I will sir. *Scurries off*

Fallen: ... *Looks out over the ocean*

Bemnonth: Oh, god... What a tumble...

Bemnonth staggers to his feet. He stares up at the giant hill he had just toppled down from. What happened? He was so clumsy lately and nervous he must have tripped on something. Feeling like the town idiot,  Bemnonth followed the little path that came from the top of the hill and lead into the woods and towards what sounded like a road. When he went abotu a 100 yards the small woods cleared into a road that went south into the country side and north into the city. He began walking north.

Bemnonth: I'll be late. Great idea to walk in city.

Bemnonth had lived in the country when he heard about the voyage Captain Fallen was undergoing. It was big news, so big it had reached him way out in the middle of no where. Everyone was talking about it. Bemnonth felt something inside of him, something momentous, and he knew he just had to be apart of this journey Fallen was undertaking. There was a meeting he was supposed to arrive at in the afternoon, it was already half past noon.
     A car whizzed by him, knocking Bemnonth out of his daydream. He decided the'd have to hitch hike if he was gonna make it in time.

A mile or so away from Captain Fallen's ship, a small pub called "Shanty Pete's Waterin' Hole" stood in its filthy booze-smelling glory. It was a popular hangout for the various sailors who came through the area and needed to kill some time by getting drunk.
On this particular day, a loud woman's voice was booming from the doors.
"...an' den I shoved dat 'arpoon righ' down 'is throat!" the woman said, followed by loud male laughter.
"Methinks that ye scrawny little lass couldn' shove an 'arpoon down a babe's throat!" another sailor roared, followed by even more laughter.
"WHAT DID YE JUS' SAY?" the woman yelled. About 10 men burst out of Shanty Pete's, followed by glass breaking and a man screaming "'Ave mercy!" multiple times.
"Settle down, Slee. No need to get rough." Inside the pub, an older-looking woman with long rust-colored hair was holding a broken beer mug to another man's throat. She looked over at a balding old man, who looked back at her with calm eyes.
"Bu'... bu'..." the woman stammered.
"Fighting here will only get you in trouble, Slee. How about you go check out Captain Fallen now?" the man suggested.
"...Ye got off lucky dis time." the woman muttered to the sailor. She dropped the mug, threw a few coins at the bartender, and stormed out of the pub. The woman walked over to the nearby harbor, fixing her gaze on a large well-built ship and a couple of men walking around its hull.
"'Oy!" she called to the men. One of them, a young man with light grey hair, looked at her. "Do ye landlubbers know where de captain of dis 'ere ship is? I've come 'ere to sign up for Cap Fallin's Grand Voyage or somethin'!"

[Moosetroop11]

Fallen stood up from where he had been crouching, and smiled briefly.

Fallen: That would be me. Are you here for the crew position?

Woman: Yur' the captn? A little scrawny aint ya?

Fallen: Looks can be deceiving. You're the first one here- this man will show you to your temporary room, miss...?

[WarxePB]

Woman: Name's Gerrh Fau'xlie, bu' since ye're gonna be me cap, ye can call m'Slee. I'm an ol' sea dog, and ye won' regret havin' me with ye. *She looks at the man* Na need, I got me own room. When d'ya need me 'ere, Cap?

[Moosetroop11]

Fallen: Pleased to meet you, Slee. I'll need you to attend the crew meeting and dinner tonight. There we'll make plans for the voyage. There are many unknowns out there- I'm pleased that I'll have someone of your experience on board.

Slee: No need f'tha niceties, Cap. I'll be thar.

With his thumb extended up and arm out into the road, Bemnonth sneers at each passing car. He begins to think he'd be better off hijacking someone's car, but finally a car does begin to slow to a hault and park next to Bemnonth just off the side of the road.

Driver: Hello there, stranger. Where ya headed?
Bemnonth: Just in city.
Driver: Well, get in, I'll take you as far as the docks.
Bemnonth: Good, that's just where I'm headed.
Bemnonth was careful getting into the car, it was small but designed "Dragon accesible". He decided it would be wiser to get into the back, that way the driver would be more comfortable.

Driver: So, what's your name?
Bemnonth: They call me Bemnonth.
Driver: Bemnonth... You dragons sure come up with some long names for yourselves, no offense.
Bemnonth: *snort* None taken.
Driver: The name's Lois. I'm a secretary at Titan Industries.
Bemnonth: Nice to meet you Lois. Isn't Titan that ship industry funding the expedition for Captain Fallen.
Lois: Yes, we are. I myself think the President is a fool to agree to such a thing. But when Mr. Fallen goes and gets himself killed by natives or swallowed by some... "sea creature", then I'll rub it in.
Bemnonth: *hmph*

Nothing more was said until Lois pulled up to the docks. The docks were huge, filled with an array of ships. Fishing ships, giant tankers, tug boats, and even cruise ships. The Ports of Creation were few, but the oens that existed were large.

Lois: So what's a Drag like you doin' at a place like this?
*Bemnonth paused a second, then turned to the secretary of Titan Industries*
Bemnonth: Gonna get myself eaten by a "sea creature".

Note - A dragon being called a "drag" is equivalent to a man being called a guy. As you prolly guessed, names like "Lizard" or "Scaley" is like calling someone a ******. Not a good idea!

[Moosetroop11]

Worker: Sir?

Fallen: Someone... someone arrives. Yes, the dragon. He's at the docks now, bring him here please.

Worker: Erm, ...yes sir. *Whispers to other worker* He gets creepier all the time...

[drenrin2120]

Bemnonth: Hm... Where the-

A worker runs up to Bemnonth.

Worker: Sir, please follow me, the captain is waiting.

Bemnonth follows the worker without question. They go down the dock and pass many ships which he would've gladly boarded, when they arrived at their destination, Bemnonth was not so inclined to board. The ship was not exactly old, and it looked better than other ships around, but it by far did not seem like a ship ready to open a new door to life on Creation.

Worker: Sir, are you coming?
Bemnonth: Right, of course. Lead the way.
Bemnonth was lead past a score of rough looking sailors. Soem gave him a strange, untrusting look, but most paid no attention. To the ones that did stare, he had learned over the years to stare just as hard back. He counted maybe two sailors aboard whom he might have problems with

Fallen: So, you are Bemnonth...
Fallen began patting Bemnonth up and down, mostly on the arms. Bemnonth eyed him suspiciously, but Fallen quickly backup again.
Fallen: Good, you're not another one of those scrawny, land lovin' hippies. I see you take care with your physique(sp?).
Bemnonth: I've done many different jobs, and all of them were no easy task. It's how I make my living, I go from one employer to another. You're the latest.

[Moosetroop11]

 

Fallen: Good, you're not another one of those scrawny, land lovin' hippies. I see you take care with your physique(sp?).

(Try to keep him in character XD)

Fallen: Well, welcome aboard Bemnonth. I trust you are able to attend the dinner meeting tonight?

(lol, sorry about that. I need to get to know his character.)
Bemnonth: Of course, I'm eager to meet the crew.

(Arf... Arf... sorry I'm late guys)

Galen arrived at the pier. "I'm late! Damn! he was whispering, nervously, while putting his hood over his head. He didn't want the people to watch his odd scar on his cheek.
He arrived at the ship, and asked a guard "Are you leaving yet? I want to work on the ship..."
The guard looked at him and said: "You must be Galen, the guy who sent the note a few days ago. Hop in, you'll clean the deck."
Quickly, Galen entered the ship.

[Drace]

The people are gathering one by one in the ship for the meeting.
Captain Fallen takes his seat as do the last few standing ones.
Captain Fallen: "So. Are we missing anyone?" he asks with a satisfactory tone.
Worker: "I'll check the list." The worker checks the list and checks all who have arrived, except one. "Sir. We're missing a Mr. Doe. John Doe.
From behind them out of the shadows comes a man, about 1.80 in height wearing dark jeans, a dark shirt with District on it and a black jacket above that one.
: "It's J.D., not Mr. John Doe."
J.D. gives a look around him, to the others, and takes his seat.

[Moosetroop11]

Fallen: Very well. Finally we are all gathered.

Fallen notices Galen's hood covering his face. He stands up and paces around the room whilst talking.

Fallen: ... I would hope that we will all grow to trust each other on this voyage. It is one like which has never been successfully attempted before- a journey away from our haven creation. Should you wish to join me upon this voyage, I would have a few things of you: Trust, honesty, and loyalty.

*The people begin to murmur*

Fallen: The most important or these is honesty. I will never lie to you, and I do not wish to be lied to. We will need to be as one on this journey- if divided, we will fail. Galen, you have nothing to hide. If you wish for the members of the crew to trust you, then I suggest you remove your hood...

[Kinslayer]

Galen watches the captain for a moment. He doubted for a few seconds, then said:
"Well... I know there is nothing to hide, but... Ok, I hope you are all ready..."
Galen slowly removed his hood and showed them their face. Everyone stood still for a little time, but they did not do or say anything.
"Well, before someone askes, I am a mutant. I hope I can be of use in this voyage, I guess I'll be cleaning."

He left and started to mop the deck.
