An Odd Opportunity? (For the new players.)

OOC:

just saying that much to another human being has Lu-Yam starting to sweat.

LC to Lu-Yam;
"Interesting line of work. Glad to have you on the crew" LC smiles warmly

When Lu-Yam starts to mention the Broadsword;
"Uh....no need, I am positive it is a great knife, uh I meant Sword. Just make sure you check the thing in to the equipment locker when you check in." LC says with a smile

"Again glad to have you aboard!"

The interviews took place on the ship at berth but ....for Lu-Yam

"No worries my good man we at Downport 2-A, Bay 14, come to the airlock and meet the rest of the crew. Oh by-the-way, do you have any contacts for lucrative cargo for off world?"

New Thread coming up soon! I promise!

Seeing the broadsword made Bronz think of his old crew—sometimes, just showing you had teeth was enough to avoid a fight. But looking at Lu-Yam, it was clear he wasn’t built for that kind of blade. He’d never wield it right, not in any real scrap.

Still, Bronz’s eyes flicked toward LC. Maybe there were other ways to make a weapon like that useful—ways that didn’t involve swinging it.

OOC:

If Lu-Yam doesn’t mind what does everyone think of mounting the broadsword in a common area. Something to give the passengers to talk about and help make our ship stand out against the others. Originally, I was thinking that we could change the story at every port, but it is probably better to stick to one good story (i.e. for example we won/acquired the ship from a pirate).

Comments?

We are also going to have to decide upon staterooms. The ship has 7 crew quarters so it looks like we will probably have to double up.

Bronz has no problem sharing a stateroom given he is used to bunking with the cargo from his old days.

Seeing Bronz eyes, but not sure what it meant, he smiles like a lawyer usually does

I think this is a great idea, but stick to one story as it can get messy with different stories in different ports

Tharrok stand up and shakes out his fur (for a moment, his previously well-groomed fur fluffs up as if hit by hurricane-force winds) sending a few tufts flying before being stuck to his flight suit and then cleaned off by the self-cleaning mechanism in a brief but mesmerizing display. Running his hands down each arm, his fur settles down as if freshly brushed.

"Welcome to the crew! I look forward to flying the black with each of you.

If you want to go with the pirate story, how about we call the ship. "Black Flag"

OOC:

I would have to hear this story of how a un-armed Merchant vessel got the best over a Pirate ship named the "Black Flag"

OOC:

Well, could be a set of wild circumstances involving an extended shore leave of the crew, a poker game and unexpected heart attack of the captain. You know the sort of story that sounds too good to be true but is... :)

I think if it sounds far fetching but that may be okay as if it sounded too real it might attract the wrong crowd.

In any case this is just one idea - someone else might have a better idea.

OOC:

For any pirate story, if necessary Bronz can show his very real pirate tattoos, which up until now he tends to hide. But in this case if people don't believe the pirate tale they won't believe that he used to be pirate either, which helps him move away from his old life.

I’m really sorry, is there a color that works that’s not black or white?

So far, just that one is invisible to me.

Does Rin want his shot at an interview or should we move on and assume it went fine?
