Hidden Lilly

Splinters

hmm alright... so lets start with this (obviously we can play with it);

- Spanish Pirate attacks
- We win
- Daniel/Avery/Amelia things (Daniel learns more about Amelia and gets closer with Avery)
- Decide maybe the best thing would be to find a place to make birth for a bit.
- Come across a rather dark feeling, welcome looking island. Go there.
- Corrupted tribe of people, they have a piece of eight (5)
- interact with people (fight? cannables? friendly but misguided person of power?)
- Leave sneakily, otherwise they will kill us
- Get away on a high tide
- At sea for a quiet while
- Daniel begins to fall in love with the sea, Amelia begins to become a jarring reminder of what he should like, Avery soothes that, he feels guilt.
- Mundane joys of sea-life
- Avery's condition worsens slowly but steadily
- Scarlet is beginning to run out of supplies, need to stop to get more
- Go to Tortooga
- Get supplies, send crew to enjoy the accommodations
- decide to spend the night in a tavern/inn
- find a corrupted English navel officer who is now being hunted for treason. He is fiddling something smallin his fingers in a rather obsessive manner. He seemd half mad. (6)
- New information; tavern known for brawls and murder
- people try to ambush small group (Avery, Bane and a few others), discover piece of eight and that the ex. officer acts as a mob boss in the tavern.

It's really rough but what do you think? Would you like to write the rest of finding the last 2 pieces?

Splinters

Yes it does, thank you.

She had about 3-4 in her possession right?

I'm just trying to think of some crafty way to find the rest. Like in Tortuga they could come across a rowdy drunkard who has the gem as a ring from his deceased wife or something. They could catch a whisper of mermaids hiding one and so they go to try and find the mermaids, etc.

Splinters

The pieces of eight are small gems right? As opposed to a Spanish dollar?

Splinters

Well, I know before we were going to have Daniel and Avery fall in love while Amelia would be kind of the triangle for Daniel, representing what he had always wanted. There are also the pieces of eight that Avery are hunting so we can use that and have some urgency for finding them, that keeps Amelia away from shore/being taken back to her family as well as provides opportunity for love and adventure. Outside of that i'm not soo sure what do do kind of 'along the way'.

What would you like to see?

Splinters

They went alright :) Thanks for asking!

I'm all rested and ready to get back into the game :P

I figured we should work out a plan/direction for Splinters before we get going again, that way we can move the story along a bit better?

Daniel left Avery to sleep and quietly shut the door behind himself. He guessed he was on to the rest of the supririors. God he was tired, there was no need of grog to make him drowsy. Still, checking on the others was a priority. As the doctor, he was always last to get to sleep after a battle. He saw to each person as best he could, stopping by to see sailors along the way. It was about half an hour until he finally stumbled into his treatment room and quarters. He felt somewhat relieved upon entering and seeing Bane and Iris chatting away, but it also memphasized his own fatigue and he was not enjoying entertaining the idea of having more to treat.

"Evenin'." He began, stepping heavily into his space. "How be yer sail'ers?" He asked, unpacking his bag while still leaving his body open to them. He awaited their response before asking a further question; "Is there anythin' I can do fer ye?"

Amelia found herself staring at the old lady's scars. She wondered what could have possibly put them there and it began to resonate with her just how dangerous life on the sea was. This was no fairytale, that was for certain. Feeling better, Amelia came up beside Scarlet and began putting her hands to work once more. It wasn't very long until the two had a large pot of hearty stew all set to be served. Amelia was particularly amazed that they had altered the ship to allow for a fire. Scarlet was very responsible and kept a constant close watch on it as to not let the vessel catch fire.

"We need t' find those pieces." Daniel said, noting that from the reactions of the crew her condition was worsening. "Come mornin' we wi'' speak more. Sleep fer now." He continued before turning his heel to leave. He walked slowly towards the doors of her cabin.

~~~

"Thank you, Scarlet." Amelia snuffled. She lightly rubbed her face and dabbed her nose in a loose piece of cloth. After a time she had becun to compose herself.

Splinters

"Aye, jus' doin' me duty." Daniel said. Taking his hand back since she hadn't taken the vial. "Aye, aye. Th' crew be well, those tha' are still breathin'. I was making me rounds fer th' superiors, I'll get t' Bane an' Iris. Scarlet an' Miss Amelia will be next." Daniel couldn't help but empathize with Avery's exhaustion. "Capn', can I speak freely?" He asked, he had one comment to leave with her before he left her to sleep.

~~~

Amelia immediately dissolved into tears when Scarlet brought her into her arms. It was awful, and she felt horrible for crying in front of someone.

"That was just so awful, I would not wish that on any soul, may God save them." Her body shook and shivered as she sobbed. She thought of how she missed home, and how she longed to go back to the life of a lady at port. Despite all the trouble and pain it would be better than the uncertainty of being on a pirate ship.

Splinters

Despite her best efforts, the stinging behind Amelia's eyes shook her voice when she responded;

"It was... not what I was expecting." Still she tried to continue, recognizing that her upbringing as a lady meant nothing on the high seas where one had to be callous as opposed to soft.

~~~

"Lay back,-" He ordered, catching her name in the back of his throat. It didn't seem right to call her captain in the moment and he would die before she ever caught him calling her Miss Avery again, all that was left was to call her Avery and that was beyond inappropriate. He waited for her to lay back down before continuing.

"I found ye on yer desk wi' a bloody noose." He said his voice softening in tone compared to the sentence he uttered before. "It's th' same day. Middle o' th' night. If ye be feelin' better, ye should sleep." Daniel began to roughly put his supplies back in his bag. He pulled out a small vial of what looked like oil. "Tis Jasmine and Chamomile, dab a bit on yer finger and rub i' on yer upper lip. I' will help ye fall t' sleep." he instructed, holding it out to her while he stood beside her bed. The thought crossed his mind to sit on the edge of her bed and do it for her but such an act would likely be unwelcome.
