The stars aren't right!(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

There is no sign of whatever caused the hole, though there are broken parts of the hull floating around inside. As Helena enters the cargo hold, she can see that it's filled with dozens of sealed boxes.

Feeling the familiar twinge of not being able to breathe water. Helena decided to see if she could lift one of the boxes, hoping to drag it out and back into the air to take a better look at the cargo of the ship. There was always the off chance that would give her a clue. If she couldn't move it, she would open it right there.

The box is very heavy and Helena can barely make it budge, let alone lift it. It has been nailed shut, and she doesn't manage to pull it open.

Getting a little annoyed, knowing she was on a clock, Helena attacked the box, laying her hands on the edges of the box and using her power to try and melt through the edges of the box, a sickly green glow surrounding her hands as she worked acid into the wood.

The concentrated acid quickly burns through the box while spreading around it, allowing Helena to tear the top of the box off. The box turns out to be full of short swords.

Snagging one, Helena let her weight shift again, returning to normal as she floated out of the breach, eager to get back into the air and onto the ship, making a mental note to find a spell that would let her grow gills or something. If she made it to the surface, she would burst out of the water, taking in large mouthfulls of air before floating back up to the deck, her wings folding back out of view. *Seems to be a ship with a weapons shipment down below* She told the others, taking a closer look at the sword. Grabbing a sailor, she showed him the blade as well. "This is whats in the ship below us. What are we going to do about it." She would not release the man until she got an answer, although she should probably have put her top on first.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

*Weapons? I wonder where they were going to.*

The sailor looks puzzled as Helena presents the sword to him and more than a bit distracted. "Nothing for now. We're too heavily loaded to salvage extra cargo, especially now that there's hull damage."

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena sighed and covered her chest as she looked at the sailor. "Okay, how bad is the damage then, do we need to stop and make repairs, or keep going... What's going on man!" as for Jasmine, Helena moved away after getting her answer, drying herself off quickly before pulling her top back on after finding it, looking for the redhead after getting her answer.

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena can see Jasmine and Cindy talking with the captain on the other end of the ship. "Uh... We're taking in a little water, but that's all for now. We have to slow down a little, though."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Thanks for the update." Helena said, moving away and heading towards Jasmine, the aforementioned drying and redressing taking place as she brought the sword over. "Excuse me.... The ship below us was carrying a weapon shipment... If that matters at all. Mind filling me in on anything I missed?" Helena asked, ringing out her hair that she had forgotten to properly dry.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

The captain turns to look at Helena. "Weapons, you say? Those make for good salvage. If you'd like to stick around and help with the salvage after we unload the cargo, I'll see that you get a reward. What do you say about that?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Stick around after.... Would you mind explaining that? Are we stopping to make repairs then, or do you mean to come back for the salvage after we reach our destination..." Helena figured that it was a silly question, but she wanted to be clear...

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"We'll head straight back, assuming we can stop the leak. As much as I'd prefer to fix the ship properly first, it won't take long for someone else to find the ship and start salvaging the cargo."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena thought about it for a moment or two. "We'll have to figure that out when we get there sadly, for now we need to figure things out ourselves. Jasmine, I don't know swords at all. Any idea on the value of this one blade? Because there's a ton of crates full of these things down there."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Jasmine takes the sword and taps on it, causing it to vibrate. "I'm not an expert, but this seems to be good steel. A cargo full of these should be worth quite a bit. Isn't that right, captain?"

"Could very well be, miss. Assuming they're not rusty by the time we get them, they should fetch a fair amount. Fifty gold per box, if not more."

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Tell you what!" Helena said thinking. "You and Cindy go on ahead, and leave me, my horse, and the Strike. We'll work on salvaging the swords for now. It will give me a breather away from people, and give me something to do. Maybe I can get a handle on things." Helena stated rather finally, perfectly happy with the plan. Alone time would do her some good to be honest.

"You and Cindy are better with people anyway, you have the gold, and can get set up there, ill catch up in town once it's handled."

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"That sounds good. Take Aqua, too. How much do you think you can carry?"

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"But to be honest, at the very least I can get it out of the water and keep it from rusting. I'd rather protect a rather large amount of coin from water since it's not difficult. The ship will be coming back for it, so it's not a problem really." Helena said grinning, heading off to get her things.

 

[Hentaispider]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

"Don't I get a say in this?" Cindy asks in annoyed tones, looking straight at Helena's collar.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Are the stars right?(Helena/Courage Wolf)

Helena stops dead in her tracks.... "Um... Got a little over excited... Shit. Well, yes, you do. I'm sorry Cindy, didn't mean to... I'm bad at this. You're right what do you think Cindy." Helena said, stumbling over herself way too many times as she struggled to find the right words.
