Of Greeks and Pirates. Part Two

[Fish-legs Bob]

Fishy smiled as they ran quicker. He could feel his own cheeks turning red as they went, hand in hand. "Hand in hand" he though, glancing down again and blushing redder. "and you kissed her!!" he had to keep from smiling out right. ever since he'd known Diana he'd had a thing for her, and ever since then it'd just been getting more so. every time she came by his heart fluttered, but he was usualy too shy. "but look at you now, mate!!" he told himself again. but he had a feeling he was going to fast, for himself if anyone. he liked her, most definantly, by anything did he like her a whole lot, but now the shy quiet Fishy was taking back over, as they arrived at the Pearl. He stopped at last, and looked back at Diana, still blushing, still smiling, but a little sadly.
"Well," he said "we're 'ere." his eyes cast a little down to the side in disapointment

[DianaMcBeth]

<Diana came to a halt and smiled at Fishy, then looked at the ship. She looked a bit sad, then brightened: "Promise you'll teach me to swim?"

< A smile light sunlight appeared on her face and she kissed Fishy's cheek shyly, almost surprised she did so. She really honestly liked him. A lot! and she really hoped he liked her back. >

"Thanks for, well, the run!" She said with a small laugh and added in a near whiper, almost embarassed: "and my first kiss, mate."

[Fish-legs Bob]

Fishy turned bright red, truely bright red and grinned from ear to ear. "thank you for mine." he turned around, even redder. it was his first kiss too. He hurried up the gangplank onto the pearl, turned and called back to her. "Come on up Diana, they'll be waitin' on us." and with another smile he added "and ill teach you anything you ever want, 's long 's its you im with."

[DianaMcBeth]

< If it was possible, Diana went redder then before, but rushed up after him, pratically glowing:

"Well. I'd be happy if you'd teach me. I mean, it might come in handy one day." She smiled.: "What with being a pirate you'd think I'd know already."

[Fish-legs Bob]

"Aye, but not all of 'em do. It'd be my most pleasure of pleasures t' teach ye, that i know." he said, nearly shining himself. he cast a quick glance around the ship. Joe Marrin gave a crooked glance back at the two, but Fishy just laughed. "Hey, since no one's askin' for us, d' y' wanna go do som''n'? I mean, there aign't much ye can do on a ship, but im sure we c'n fin' somethin', no?"

[DianaMcBeth]

< Diana glanced around then saw nobody was looking. Nobody really needed either of them yet, it seemed. They we'ren't heading out to see either.>

"Alright then!" She agreed: "What can we do? Swimming? We're in a shallow enough area." <She pointed to the docks. They weren't too deep and they felt sort of safe. Even for someone afraid of open water. there were enough people nearby> "I mean, if you think it's safe."

[Fish-legs Bob]

Fishy smiled and took her hand. "I'm sure it'll be alright, and ill be there with ye, alrigh'?" he said, unbuttoning the top of his shirt. "haha, but this time i wont get all me clothes as wet, it'll weigh ye down ye know." he gave her another reasuring look, and a smile. "It'll be alright, i'll be with ye. Its easy, i promise."

[Rose Glassman/Hawk Aureye]

Rose grinned at Maria again, then glanced around the deck as they arrived. "Y'know where the captain is?" she asked, looking annoyed. "Prolly should've checked...oy! Anyone an' everyone! Know where Cap'n Sparrow is? We got a stowaway 'ere 'e needs t'meet!"

"The three of them should cause plenty havoc to keep me busy, let alone you." Hermes grinned, then looked injured. "I would never forget myself as a mortal. I keep my disguises very well, thank you. I'm the patron god of thieves and liars, remember?" He winked, then grinned again. "I'll take that as a compliment. I'll be back later. Right now...well...the crew needs all the help it can get!"

Hermes' laughter continued to ring out long after he'd faded from sight, with only a golden shimmer in the air to show where the god had been.

[Evelyn]

Evelyn sat upon the edge of the ship looking around at everyone as they walked by. Most passed her without a glance and she smirked. The crew was busy and they would be taking off soon, she could sense it. A flash of Eric came into her mind but she pushed it away quickly.

Voices were heard and Eve tilted her head to watch Roux and.......no one in a conversation. At this Eve shrugged...everyone has their demon's she supposed. Will was up on deck evidently enjoying the smell of sea. She noted as two others passed her by she did not recognize, and Diana and Fishy came aboard, both looking a bit, strange. Then spying the way they glanced at eachother she rolled her eyes. "Pft, this is bloody fantastic..." she groaned.

Eve had always been a bit bitter towards love or anything of that sort, her history has tied that emotion to much pain and therefore it was difficult for her to ever express it. Still she turned from them and looked to the sea, hoping they would sail out soon. So many were aboard...it seemed this would be a grand time out on the high seas...besides the fact that Eric would be around...

[DianaMcBeth]

<Diana glanced at the water hesitantly, then at Fishy and smiled>

"I trust you."

<well if clothes weighed her down,, then she wasn't sure what she'd have to change into. She thought this over, removed her shirt and kept her vest on, the sash and rolled up the legs of her breechs>

<Then she looked at Fishy she she tied her hair out of her face> "led the way, Fishy."

[Maria Maharet/Turner]

* When no answer came to Rose's question she turned to her and pointed up* " 'e must've gone up te' th'deck..." * She glanced back at Hawk then around him...* " 'o were ye chasin anyways?" * She said grinning searching for some evidence of a person...*

[Fish-legs Bob]

He smiled back, and took off his shirt, throwing it aside ((haha, hey, im a guy, im allowed)), and rolled up his own pants, tossing his sash off with his shirt. "alright, now im gona jump in and ill help catch ye too, ok?" he said, and leapt off the side into the water with a splash.

Joe looked up again at the sound, speaking to Diana. "'ll be 'areful w' 'at 'un, y' be'er." and returned to his work without another word.

Fishy called up from the water, the waves weren't high, only light rolling ones and the bottom was just visible, soft pale sand. "Come on in! ill catch ye, just jump right short of me. When you get into the water, remember to not panic at all, 'n i'll come get ye. Kick in circles with yer legs."

[Will Turner]

*Will glanced over his shoulder as he heard someone talking, it was Roux. He raised a brow and figured that this man was deffinantly slightly off his rocker. But then he was probably in the right place. With a sigh Will glanced around again, noticing that there was a bit of commotion on deck and then below it. A curious brow raised again and he trotted halfway down the steps below deck and peered around. He noticed a few crew members already down below who were seemingly handling the situation.* This place just keeps getting stranger every time I'm here. *He said quietly to himself, then hurried back on deck again, once more returning to his cabin where he found it empty.*

*As Eric lay there, now alone, he closed his eyes and rolled over on his side. As he drifted off an image of a beautiful woman with midnight black hair and sky blue eyes formed. She was laughing as she ran along the shoreline, her dress dangling down to her ankles as the waves curled about her feet. Eric appeared and he smiled as he lifted her up and kissed her lips. Then suddenly the sky went blood red and a loud noise rang out. The woman gazed at him with sad eyes then suddenly dissapeared from his grasp. Eric screamed and sat up quickly, breathing heavily as he glanced about the small cabin.* Just a dream. *He said softly. He hopped down and splashed his face with water from the basin and he decided to go back on deck to get some fresh air. As he glanced around he spotted many of the crew on deck and then he saw Evelyn.* So much for the fresh air. *He said to himself, looking away from her. But then, without meaning to, he found himself looking at her again.*[/color]

[DianaMcBeth]

< With a look at Joe she nodded. Then looked at the water. She shivered a bit. she listened to fishy carefully, stil la bit nervous but then she just jumped>

<Hitting the water wasn't so bad, but going under made her panic. The water seemed to swallow her, taking her under, and it seemed almost to heavy to be water. At least to her. She gasped, letting out bubbles and paniced, kicking towards the surface. >

<She hadn't meantto swallow the water, but she did. And it burned her lungs. She kicked harder, terifed>

[Roux]

He watched his cousin fade from sight, smiling in a amused way. Hermes on the Black Pearl was like letting loose a wolf in a chickn coop. So much to do so little time.

But it'd be fun none the less. It'd been, years since Roux had contact with his "family". Hermes was a welcomed sight. It had been Roux's choice of course, to leave the gods of Greece. His alone. He liked being a human, or in human form. and he liked the sea as well.

Going back to his drawings he lost himself in his own thoughts, convinced that if anything happened, he could handle it. and he could of course, god that he was. Even if he was nothing compared to Zues or Ares.
