Red Dog would lean back a moment and sigh, just as the boat shifted slightly and a deck hand called out. "Well I can understand freedom girly. I suppose we don't have to sail directly to Endus, after all my crew wants to get some more plunder before the winter strikes. You can travel with us for a bit." Red would stand back up. "However I will not go without the reward for returning they cities hero. Thank of it as punishment for breaking into my room and stealing the golden saber of the Pirate King that you some how managed to loose.

Rikke remained seated on bed as it seemed atleast some of her words resonated with the salty dog "Well... I could keep you lot company for a bit..." she'd shrug lightly, afterall Rikke had learned that the man raided other pirates... meaning he was far from being all that bad at all! "Though I'm not much of a pirate, could be fun to learn."

"As for your reward... I would have you deliver them a note, highlighting your aid and the absolute need to shower you with rewards. Trust me, they'd know it's from me. You'd be regailed as a grand ally." Rikke snicker and smiled slyly to him "It's a win, win scenario. I keep my burden-free style for a while, you get your reward." though just to seal the deal!

The girls eyes subtly sharpened as she smiled, her voice growing a bit more mischievious... "Besides, Red... we could arrange a little something 'extra', just between you and me. I hear the nights out on sea can get cold... we could find some way to keep each other warm for a few of them." Rikke turned her charm and seduction on to it's fullest, even subtly bitting down on her lower lip. Ofcourse she'd act it up, but she had to get the Captain to agree to this!

Red Dog scoffed "Sorry Ms. Rikke I doubt a note would get you much these days. After all the shysters have probably already tried such to get rewards before." He leaned back again. "No doubt the real goods will have to do. But I am a patient man and in no rush for payment just yet. Besides Endus is at least a two months sailing from here and that is with good weather and no stops." Seeing Rikke's tone shift Red Dog blushed. "Oh no no I don't think so miss. Shala would have my balls, and well I'm rather fond of them.


Just then the deck hand called out prompting the captain to get up and head out. "Well duty calls you might as well get a good glimpse as we go." If Rikke followed the captain out she would see the boat once more at full sail the small village quickly slipping behind them. Already the salt spray from the ship cutting threw the waves began to waft into Rikke's nose. Another grand adventure hopefully was just starting.

"Daw~ I didn't think Red Dog would be so unadventurous." Rikke smiled to him still keeping her charms up lightly, though as she slowly began to near him... the Captain seemed to be required on deck, giving the man a quick and clean escape!

'Curses...' as the door closed Rikke quickly broke her act and harumphed with crossed hands, she gave it such a good try too! Seemed like it or not, she'd be taken right back to Endus... Perhaps she'd figure what to do once there, as for now with the unknown lands slowly disappearing further away in the horizon. Seemed Rikke had yet a few months of unknown adventures to take place!
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Alone in the cabin for a few hours Rikke thought her own thoughts till a sudden tilt in the ship almost sent her spilling to the floor. Shouting soon echoed out on deck drawing her gaze that way. Still with as little training she would just be an obstetrical. Looking out of the windows of the cabin Rikke noticed the once azure sea rife with foam and waves, the skies grey and angry as lighting caressed the skies.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke relaxed on the bed in thought, her own words still ringing through her head. She had always wanted to be a heroine... but she did not know that in turn, she'd need to completely change who she was! Surely there was a balance, perhaps... flawed heroes made for the greatest of stories?

Sighing deeply Rikke closed her eyes, as the next thing she heard or well... felt quickly shook her daze aside! "Eh?" as suddenly the whole bed seemed to shift and turn making the girl cling to the edge of the bed! "Wua-ah~ah~!" with a loud crash and thunderous lightning outside, it seemed her ride back to Endus would not be a calm one!

Looking outside the window, as the foamy sea gray sky and brilliant white streaks of lightning revealed they had sailed into a absolute hurricane!!! "Oh... crap..." Rikkes eyes widened as she'd look on, the shouts on deck barely legible as they intermixed with the storms roaring fury!

Rikke would hardly cower and wait it out as she'd quickly rush outside the cabin and on-deck! This was her ship as well, she had to... she wanted to make sure they'd not succumb to the sea!
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rushing out on deck Rikke saw the ship pitch as Shala took the wheel from a poor sailor who simply wasn't able to hold it together. Cranking the wheel the woman managed to meet a swell head on sending it crashing over the ship dead on eliminated the risk of being capsized from the side. All around he men held their posts ropes tied off and secured. From behind Shala Red Dog laughed as the sea challenged him. From nearby Rikke heard the sound of rope snap as s secure line tumbled into the air. The man attached to it hung on for dear life as the water threatened to wash him from the deck. Below Rikke heard a groan as one of the cannon came loose.Up ahead a sail started to unfurl threatening the stability of the boat in the storm.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

It was absolute chaos! Her visibility absolutely obscured by the utterly washing rain, her ears ringing from the roars of waves, howls of men and the boisterous almost mad laughter from the captain! The scene was absolutely horrifying... and thrilling!

Rikke looked to the rope snap as the sailor held on dearly to the rope "Hold on!" she'd call out to him, just as the girls eyes caught view of the sails ropes relaxing as wind seemed keen to tear them fully open, only to shred them! The heroine looked to the man briefly, as if deciding if he looked safe enough to leave, before she'd rush to the sail!

Any of the other sailors or the mans own might could save him, but with the sails hold easing someone had to get there now! Rikke quickly rushed across the absolutely soaked deck as she'd note a loosened rope from up above half-curled around the main mast! Grabbing the rope Rikke uncurled it and getting a running start leaped up only for the storm winds to quickly gust her forward and in arch almost throwing her up in a spin upwards to the top of the mast where the sails were loosening more and more by the second!

With the winds howling and the rain pouring Rikke found herself a fair ways above the ship, her hair going wild, moments before the girl caught view of the black sails cloth up ahead crawling along the slippery slope Rikke seemed to grasp the ropes restraining it to the mast at the last second as she'd tug them upwards returning the sail back to it's position! Quickly working to tie the slippery ropes in places, as several feet down below her she saw the ship... and all around her the monstrous storm! Though the sheer chaos all around seemed to grow silent in comparison to the girls own heart beats!
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

As the sea raged the ship bucked in the water like a childs play thing. Waves crashed against the ship sending shudders threw the hull. In her haste to save the sail Rikke had forgotten to tie herself off. From her position Rikke saw a monstrous wave quickly approaching, once more Shala turned the ship into it lest it send them all the bottom of the sea. Quickly the ship began to rise up riding the wave only for it to bust threw sending shudders threw the vessel and causing Rikke to loose her grip on the boom sending her tumbling into the air. Her stomach lurched at the sudden change in direction as she began to fall towards the deck.

Amazingly a loose rope flared into view allowing Rikke to grab onto it. This of course caused its own issue as a sudden stop and weight caused her to careen into the deck and strike hard. Vision blurred she felt strong hands take hold of her before every thing went black.







Some time later Rikke awoke soaked and soar. She was resting on the deck a hefty bandage on her head where she had struck it. Nearby she heard voice and turned her head to see the captain and the crew emptying shot glasses of rum into the sea and holding their hats and bandannas to their hearts. Nearby Shala sat her arm in a sling. "We only lost one man in that storm. It could have been worse but thankfully you secured the sail." Shala looked at her arm and back to Rikke. "It was hard enough to fight the sea but if I had to fight our sail as well... " She would lower her head. "We won't get into that."
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikkes eyes widened as the absolutely massive wave came into view, Shala thankfully turning the ship before it crashed into it! The whole ship seemed to rise more and more, before it's front pierced the very top of the wave, moments before falling down!!!

It was then Rikke flatout couldn't hold her grasp, as the ship crashed down with a huge buck the girl feeling almost immeasureable pressure as she'd hit the mast and bounce off starting to fall down?! "Wuaaaah!!" if only thanks to the girls years in adventure she'd note a lose rope just in time to catch it! Though with the girls caught momentum she'd at best feel a powerful tug all too familiar to her as it slipped her grasp! While the moment was broken from lethal, she'd still have a way to fall only to hit the slick down hard!

When next Rikke awoke she'd open her eyes to a clear blue sky and silent hushes of the sea. Though quickly followed her awaking every muscle in her body quickly rang out its protests to what she had done! "A-tut-tut-tut..." she'd wince before sitting up and looking around, seemed they had managed through the storm.

Rikke smiled somberly as she did however note the sea funeral, before hearing Shala speak up from nearby "Ow... Hey..." she'd smile to the girl rubbing her head where the bandage was.

One man? Was it the poor sailor Rikke saw... though Shala was right, had she not done what she did. Things would've turned far worse, far quicker "What happened? How'd we end up in that thing anyway?" a storm of such size... heck just recalling the event sent a few chills across the girls body. Still as the men seemed to sing a farewell song, Rikke would pause the explanation and stlowly stand up "H-help me up a little..." she'd smile sheepishly as her muscles still indeed ached from her from and overexersion "We should join them as well." the rogue would insist on joing the funeral, she owed the sailor for his sacrifice just as much as the rest of the crew.

"These things come fast in the ocean, but that one seemed far worse than normal." Shala helped Rikke up just as the men began to pull away. As they passed she heard one say. "To be crushed by a cannon.. not the way I would want to go." Still as the men went back to their posts Red Dog stood silent watch over the sea the bottle of rum in his hand. "Its never easy to lose one of our own is." Turning to Shala he would frown before taking a swig of the bottle and tossing it into the sea. "And you Ms. Rikke it seems I have you to thank for saving our sails and quite possible the whole ship. When we make port next you can get off and go on your way as my way of thanks. Of course we need to find a port first." Red Dog would laugh and head back to his cabin shouting a few orders as he went.

Well atleast the rogues heart was at ease that the soul lost, was not one she could've intervened to aid. The sea just demanded it's toll it seemed "Y-yeah..." Rikke rubbed the back of her neck cutely at the thanks, indeed she certainly noted the sailors viewed in a far different light after the stunt she had pulled! Though it was likely jsut a few saw in, due to how intense the storm was.

"Thanks Red." Rikke smiled to him and nodded "We'll see after we dock." after such an eventful first day at sea and already testing her luck... well the girl would decide what she'd do after they found a safe dock to do so.

Still with the funeral seemingly over she'd turn to Shala "So... what now?" depending on just how well the rogue felt and what time of day it was, she'd likely need to find something to do onboard the ship!

Above all else, she'd definedly not go back down if it there was a clear azure sky above them.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Not today Rikke. Today we rest to recover. You took a hefty blow when you hit the deck. You are not as resilient as you used to be. After today and depending on how you feel tomorrow you will be working the sails. Your nimble enough to get the job done." With that declared Rikke was allowed full access to the ship with the exception of the captains quarters. It seemed she would be sharing Shala's small room adjoined as the only to females on crew. Of course that didn't seem particularly true as later in the day a strangely dressed woman came up from below with food for the crew on deck. She was of dark skin and dark hair but her eyes where as blue as the sea. She ware a light airy light blue outfit and her feet where bare. As she came over to Rikke she frowned and quickly bowed to her. "Sorry Ms. I got you captured and now you hurt your head. Its all my fault." As Rikke watched little tears fell from her face as the woman remained bowed.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke raised an eyebrow at the resilience comment... Well they've met before, but the rogue certainly didn't feel out of it! Heck she'd been pushing herself more and more for a long time now!.. Still some of her words rang true, though Rikke wouldn't linger on the thought for long.

With the sun up high and the gentle sea breeze caressing her body, there was only one thing to do... It was time to get a tan! Rikke grinned widely as she'd not be as mean as to strip and relax right on the center deck! Up the upper part near the steering wheel, would have to do.

While the girl hardly had a suitable bikini her short-shorts undies and bra would have to do as she'd relax on the upper board and smiled. This could work as a vacation of sorts afterall!

Though her sunbathing would soon be interrupted, by a most peculiar girl... Rikke hardly had a moment of doubt as she smiled to the strange "It's alright, you didn't really have a choice on the matter." she'd smile a friendly smiled to the genie and winced lightly at the light bandage "And the heads... entirely my bad." Rikke winced lightly as she'd touch it.

"You're that genie right? I'm Rikke, a wandering adventurer." she'd give her a cheery and friendly wink.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

The girl would nod enthusiastically "I'm Bela'sha and I am ever so honored to meet the favored of the wind. All the Jin speak of you so highly!" The girls eyes seemed to sparkle as she stared at Rikke in the near nude. A cough from nearby seemed to panic the girl as she scooted off bowing as Shala came up. "She is a strange one that girl." However her eyes would narrow at Rikke. "I see you haven't changed." The woman would sigh before taking off her own top and sitting next to Rikke to enjoy the sun as well.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke returned a smile to the genie, though before the duo could exchange further words Shala made her appearance, seemingly scooting the girl away. So Shala and Bela weren't exactly the best of friends it seemed... curious.

"Hey~" Rikke called out to Shala as well, beaming her a smile as she tanned her back, the girls marvelous bust all too clearly subtly pressed against cloth she lied on the wood beneath "m? Whatcha mean?" she'd wave her legs casually resting as she looked to Shala, before following her with her gaze as she made her way up to Rikke to join in?

Though Rikke would pause as Shala would remove her top entirely?! The rogue wouldn't notice it at first however "Well~ Such a wonderful sun and I've not had a chance to lounge and relax for a long while, might as well grab it while I can." she'd turn and grin to Shala in a friendly manner, only then noting if indeed the female was flatout topless on the ship!
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

"Always a tease." Lying back Shala opted for her front being done first. Occasionally she would glare at any crew that tried to sneak a peak. "We should enjoy the break as we can. Once our injuries are manageable we will be back to work." Shala made herself comfortable seemingly comfortable and confident to be nude from the top up.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

Rikke blinked at Shala and snickered playfully, well the rogue was quite risque, but Shala seemed to absolutely not care! "Thats mean..." the girl spoke up with a smile looking over Shala "You do know the boys will be extra angsty if you do that." she'd remain sitting up and looked to the side at the ocean as it slowly moved.

While Shala answered Rikke would stand up and look over the ships speed, there was a certain something the girl always wanted to do! Wave ski-ing! There was plenty of wood on board, surely the rogue could make something up... maybe with the help of the crew! Admitedly she heard people used sails on ropes allowing the winds to carry them about, but a ship could likely be used too. Though if the sails were used to gain enough speed for just one person, could a ship match the required momentum? It seemed fast, but was it fast enough.

They can have as much angest as they want. Every single one of them knows if they try anything they will be swimming to the next port." Shala closed her eyes and relaxed her already semi tanned skin a straight comparisons to Rikke's pale flesh.

Looking over the ocean Rikke saw they where moving at a good speed for a ship under sail, but doubted it was fast enough for the girl to achieve what she wanted. At this speed it would be like being towed instead of skiing.
 
Re: Chapter 5 Home is where the Heart is (Ubberific) GMed by ranger

'Daw...' the thought echoed out across Rikkes mind "Hey, Shala. What do you do around here for fun?" perhaps instead of coming up with something completely new, Rikke could just learn from Shala!

The heroine turned around and remained casually leaned against the ships railing, though between her fashionable cute underclothing, the girls absolutely luscious body and now open standing position, she'd certainly draw a bit more attention. Albeit attention that remained wary of Shalas piercing gaze.
