[quote=Winter] Alicia would turn as Fushaka, The Doctor and Lorenzo arrived within moments of each other. The three of them were easily the strongest officers in her crew, each with their own brand of fierceness that projected upon their enemies during battle. They were a big part of what made The Silver Skulls a force to be reckoned with and although Alicia didn't play favorites, each had earned her respect. She answered Fushaka first, "No idea, though I guess we're about to find out. Just try not to scare them away before we have a chance to talk, ok?" she said with a small smile to Fushaka before it turned into a small smirk, a smirk they'd each seen many a time before, an expression of confidence. "As for treasure it's a possibility. We'll take it if they give us a reason to punish them, but first I'd like to see with who they stand" she said as she turned to face towards the ship which began to get larger as they approached, folding her arms across her chest, "No pirate ever became emperor through attacking every pirate on the sea, without allies and others we can call on we will lose this game. And I intend to win it" she said before looking back at the three of them, "We'll anchor close by and take a smaller boat out to them, If there's a fight I don't want the Lassie taking hits, and it'll allow the rest of the crew to slam them with cannon fire should things get messy. Also, we'll bring a barrel of rum as a show of good will... it's not like we don't have plenty of the stuff to spare anyway" she said, still seeming a tad bored with the fact they keep finding rum more than anything when they bring down other ships. [/quote] oh come on! why rum cant we just give them a pound of sugar and be done with it? I use that rum to sleep you know" Lorenzo complained but sighed as he went below deck and brought up a barrel of rum although he didn't like it. He put the barrel up on the deck waiting for the next order and Lorenzo was wishing that they screwed up so he could pull out his guns and go into blazing fury! everyone would tell you that you can only carry two pistols on your person and maybe a rifle at your back. The look Lorenzo gets when he drops his trench coat to reveal he has over 20 guns on his person is priceless! their momentary shock is all Lorenzo needs to take down an entire decks shipmates as well, with his serious training he can handle it and do it again 10 fold if need be, when his adrenaline pumps Lorenzo starts to think he is death himself when he sees so many bodies around him that couldn't even get close to him. so satisfying its almost better then taking the gold the idiots earned.
