Kaimei held on to his katana that was on the side of his hip and chuckled "Well Good Morning to you too" he said with a smirk he went into his pocket and pulled out a sack of coins and tossed hit to Lacuna "Took care of this towns bounties. I dont know how to local officials cant catch these witty crocks" he said. He looked at the Lyle "Looks like we have another person who wants to join the crew" he said with a smile

Ravenna sighed, standing and surveying the crowd. Time to hitch a ride, she decided, dusting off her rather unconventional outfit. With quiet grace, she slipped through the crowd which seemed to be growing larger by the second. She discovered a large chunk of it seemed to be focused around the Tiger Lily. Smirking, she saw her chance; while a begging man and a rowdy group of gamblers distracted the captain, the young woman slipped into the group carrying supplies up the gangplank and onto the ship.

Lacuna eyed Lyle for a few moments before nodding. "Go swab the deck while yer up there." She told him, motioning him to move forward. Turning back to Kaimei she caught the sack and weighed it in her palm for a moment before tucking the neck of it under her belt and pulling her long jacket securely in front of it. "Good job." Smiling brightly, Lacuna looked around. "We should be leaving within a the hour."

Kaimei nodded and headed on the ship. "Where are we heading anyway" he said as his hair blew in the wind. They have been traveling for a while.

"Just as with before here, I have no idea. We are North bound!" Tossing her head back Lacuna let out a boisterous laugh that had her wiping her eyes. "We could bloody well die in the middle of no where. But that is all part of the adventure." Looking about, she figured they would need about four more people in their crew before they left.

Kaimei sighed and leaned on the side of the ship. Never having a destination which did indeed make it adventurous but it was dangerous. he looked up at the sky it was clear and blue it hasnt rained for a while so now clouds were in sight.

Lyle nodded and rushed off to do his work. He wasn't going to disappoint, besides, swabbing the deck sure beat getting beaten up and having all his money taken away from him.

Kaimei looked at Lyle "Hey whats your name" he asked the guy "Plus where you from" he asked looking from his one good eye as the other was covered by his hair over his eyepatch.

"Lyle Quinn, as from where I'm from, well it's just some out of the way little town over the mountains." Lyle said, not looking up from his work. He had made sure to stash his cash someplace no one would look until he could move it to wherever he was delegated to stay while on the ship.

Ravenna slipped down into the cabin area, thankful that nobody had noticed her thus far. Thankfully, she found a storage room where there were a bunch of a large crates. She discovered a hidden little niche amongst them and settled down for the trip, pulling the stolen coin purses of the day from her pockets. She deposited them into her two personal bags that hung at her hips and stuffed the stolen bags into one of the crates.

Laugh,
Carter knew he'd found the right ship when he set eyes on the crowds around it. Men supplying the ship, men rigging the ship, and those people willing to take a job on the ship. The harlequin had never been much for real jobs, so it wasn't very hard to see why he'd mush rather just hitch a ride.
He glanced at the barrels currently being loaded onto the ship, supposedly one of the last things heading on, and smiled. Contortionist's delight...
---------
Also, apple crates are horrible. Really horrible. Carter attempted to re-arrange his left foot around a red apple and felt it hit wood instead, so he rolled his eyes. He held his hat in his hand, to keep it from jingling, as two hefty brutes picked up his crate and nearly tossed it onto their shoulders. Oooff... At least they're cute.
It wasn't long until they reached the bellow-decks with their charge, and as the brutes tipped his crate onto the ground, he listened for their footsteps walking away. Now, five more minutes and then I find my resting place. Should be room in the decks somewhere...
What harm could it do?

[We'll leave now. If anyone else joins they can either already be on the ship or get on at the next port.]
Checking her pocket watch, Lacuna gave a little sight and turned on her heel. The last of the crates were loaded and the afternoon sun was high in the sky. "Alright men, hoist anchor and set the sails. We're leaving!" Hands clasped behind her back, she began to make her rounds, checking that the men were doing their jobs and that all was going smoothly.

Ravenna sighed, mentally, as her stomach made a grumbling sound. She hadn't eaten in a few days and apparently her stomach wasn't very happy about that. Seeing as the men were long gone, probably on deck preparing the ship for take off, she slipped from her hiding spot. She had seen them unload what looked like apple crates and figured they wouldn't noticed a few missing. Grumbling softly under her breath - mind you, using words a woman shouldn't even know, much less use - she attempted to pry the lid off one crate.

Laugh,
Right, why is it so hard to get this top off? They only latched it once I got in... Maybe it was the second time they dropped me... Carter's thoughts fell silent as he heard the unmistakable sound of approach, and he covered the bells on his hat again. It was the quiet grumbling that tipped him off to something not being right. Oh, pretty woman I'd bet, dirty mouth though...
He bit his lip, figured he had nothing to lose at that point, and pushed on the top of the crate at the same time Ravenna pulled. The last nail came loose, and he up-ended the lid, sending it flying backward. He caught it on it's edge, keeping it from making a sound in his attempt to keep his balance. What met his sight was not what he expected.
Well that's a sight! Carter's face lit up at the sight of Ravenna, who he recognized from the docks as the girl who'd pointed him off toward the very ship he'd stowed away upon. He held a finger to his lips, mimicking quiet. Definitely not a sailor, at least I hope not.
What harm could it do?
