The first drink was dropped in front of her. Picking it up, she downed it in one breath and slammed the mug on the table again. She needed to be slightly drunk before this contest, she picked up the second mug and poured that down her throat as well. If she had to pay for the drinks, it wasn't going to be a ton of them as Emma hoped!
Within a few minutes the buzz started in her mind, and she new that the drinks were starting to take a small effect on her. With a giggle, she stood up knocking her chair ove and disappeared across the room. Music was playing, she had no idea where it came from, or what it was but it was playing. She stumbled slightly, she really wasn't one to hold her booze well. Three more drinks and she would be passed out on the ground, unless she slept it off. Odd thing about her was, she would become completely drunk, sleep and wake up feeling like a rose!
Grabbing onto a chair to support herself, the theif hardly noticed as a man approached her and took her hand. She fell against him, unbalanced by the sudden movement. With a giggle, she looked up at the man and asked, "Do I know you?"

:::Leesil watched with a mounting sort of worry as Rhys seemed to get more and more intoxicated.....he looked at Evelyn as if to ask if this was normal. When the man approached, Leesil felt it was time to step in::
"Sorry bout that mate.....I'll take it from here......" ::He took Rhys's hand and pluncked her back down on the table and loked back at Evelyn:: "and she wanted to have a drinking contest........." ::He rolled his eyes, still amused.:: "Come on, Rhys. I think it's best you lie down. No need to make a complete fool of yourself......"
::He gave Evelyn a apoligetic look and and picked Rhys up lightly , giving her a piggyback ride:: "I'll take her back to the ship. If you want to come with us you can... The one with black sails, right?" Then he added: "If you don't want to come.....I'll make sure she finds you all right once she wakes up...."
::That being said he walked out of the tavern, Rhys on his back and wondering exactlly how on Earth he'd gotten himself into this. But he headed towards the docks and spoted the Pearl quickly enough. He joggled Rhys a bit:: "You still know which ship is yours, lass?"

Rhys fell against the strange man with a sigh, she was getting rather sleepy. Yet, just as the man started to wrap his arms around her, she was pulled away by Dar. With some soft mumbling she tried to protest, but her yawn over took it. She barely followed the conversation going on in front of her as she layed her head down on the table happily.
Suddenly her table was disappearing, she let out a whimper and reached for it, but the evil man carrying her would have nothing of the sort. With a sigh of resignation she leaned against the mean man and used him as a pillow to go to sleep.
Suddenly, she was jogged awake to hear his question. "Tis... the funny looking one," she mumbled before resting her head against his back once more. "I just sleep here though..." she murmured before drifting out of it againi.

"The funny looking one?" Leesil questioned. Well, all ships looked a bit odd to him, but he knew which one she meant. He carried her aboard the Black Pearl, and hunted around looking for a room that he could set her down in. He found one that looked to be a spare and set her on the cot there.:: "There now....sleep....."
::Shaking his head, he found a thin blanket and covered her up, then sat down to ponder this. humans were such strange things, so fragile in many ways. He looked at Rhys with benevolent eyes then leaned aganist the wall, simply making sure she slept off her self induced stupor. Strange creatures indeed.:: "you know you're a funny thing....knowing you'll make yourself sick and sleepy, but you do it anyway..." Leesil said in a singsonging voice. he didn't know or particularly care if she could hear him.:: "Funny things indeed......I suppose you'll still have that contest when you wake up too...." He added, and pulled up a stool to sit on, which he did::
::Leesil wondered what Evelyn thought of them. Probably that they were both insane......he wouldn't blame her in the least. He turned to Rhys and watched her silently. Well, he'd accomplished what he'd wanted. He was aboard the Black Pearl. and if anyone asked he had a perfectly good reason for being here. easy.::

Running, she as running through the woods. The trees were throwing out roots to trip her and the potatos were once again after her. Only this time, they have spears in their hands. She stiffled a scream to keep the potatos from finding her position.
"Help!" she cried out as one of the trees finally took her down. "Get the potatos away from me!" She thrashed about her root bindings hoping to escape, but every movement made them tighten around her. She squeaked and gasped for air as it became harder and harder to breath.
"I don't want to be eaten by potatos!" she screamed. "Someone get them away from me!" The potatos approached her. Their arms reached out for her, pulling at her arms, legs and hair. She screamed and bit one. She wasn't going down, not like this! And definately not without a fight!
"Get away from me!" she hollered.

::Leesil had been dozing peacefully, his eyes half closed. When suddenly a cry about vicious potatoes rang out::
"I don't want to be eaten by potatos!" Leesil yelped, confused, and tumbled off the stool, his hand reaching for the dagger at he kept in his boot. Then:
"Get away from me!" Leesil blinked and looked at Rhys, realizing she was thrashing about in her cot. No doubt a drunken dream. He frowned a bit, then went over to her. He caught hold of a flailing arm and held it down as gently as he could, then slapped her face lightly.::
"come now, none of this.....Rhys...wake up. This is why you don't go out drinking....." He muttered, and sat her up in bed. "I think we've all learned a very important lesson today...." He began in a joking, light tone: "Drinking and potato phobias do NOT mix well....." ::He fixed her with his pale gaze.:
"Try not to throw up now, all right?"

Rhys pried her eyes open at the vicious slap across her face. She blinked and looked around the room curiosity taking over. "Drunk and potatos? What?" she murmured looking her friend over. "What are you talking about?"
She grinned as he told her not to throw up, "Don't worry, once I sleep I wake up perfectly fine. Don't know how it works, but it does." She grinned at the man in front of her and smiled innocently. "Strange or no," she murmured, "that's me and how I've always been." She flipped the covers off, and looked around the room. "Dar... you brought me to the Captain's room..." she shook her head and stood up leading the man out of the room and back to the top of the deck.
"You're going to be there to drag me back after Emma kills me in the contest, right?" she pleaded with him.

::Leesil blinked, but only shrugged at her:: "I suppose someone has to keep an eye on you." He muttered, and shook his head. "Hopefully Emma spares you......"
::Leesil's eyes wandered back to the streets of Tortuga. He just watched the people going by and something like amusement crossed over his face........and then he looked to Rhys:: "Can't promise I'll be around after that, might set sail tonight..........."

Blue eyes shot around from where they had been watching the waves to land on Dar. Rhys studied the man's face closely. "I thought you wanted to sail with us," she said confused. "I'm sure the Captain would be happy to take you on as part of the crew."
"If you're worried about not being accepted, don't be. Look at me! They found me on a little boat drifting in the ocean in the middle of a storm!" She turned her gaze out to the water again. "Just try it, Dar. I know you tried sailing with Ry, did he affect you so much that you can't sail with us?"

Evelyn looked on with great disturbance really as she was dragged off without a word. At first, she was just about ready to reach for her cutlass and strip the hand that took her away from her, but a moment later she noted it indeed had been Rhys and so she attempted controlling herself. Rhys was an odd one, no question, but simply dragging her off into nowhere was simply something Evelyn barely trusted anyone in doing, quite frankly.
In doing so, Rhys seemed to be pulling her to a certain destination and Evelyn could almost feel the tangent and strong smell of rum in the air. They stopped briefly and quickly she was half introduced to some random man Evelyn barely registered and only gave half a smirk to, all the while glancing him over suspiciously. There was something odd about him she couldn't quite place but before any true judgment could be passed she was dragged off yet again.
All the while, Evelyn could only roll her eyes. Entering the dingy tavern felt almost like home really, well, a home where everyone half drunk at all tims, swore to the high seas, and each carried enough weaponry to slaughter you and dice you into pieces.
Her right hand casually rested upon the cutlass and soon they were sitting. All the while Evelyn was comfortable with simply taking in the scenery. Crossing her arms as a man managed his way over, she noted how this stranger simply asked for a alcoholic drink for her friend and suspicion continued to bloom. Her eyes narrowed at him a bit but she suspected the woman could take care of herself. Ordering herself a rum she drank it much more calmly than Rhys and gave a bit of a chuckle as she noted how the woman was soon out of it.
She rolled her eyes and muttered something about her being no match whatsoever for Emma. "Bit of a lightweight..." she half snorted as she continued to calmly sip at her cool, golden, mug of rum. As he picked her up and offered for her to follow she raised her brows. "Right...you two enjoy yourselves." She commented as she continued her sipping. They left and Evelyn remained there, sitting amongst the strange crowd becoming rather engrossed with the current goings on.
In one corner, a bit too dark for her to truly discern what was happening, and she supposed that was the point, it seemed a couple were having a bit of a good time. The bar was crowded with those wanting a rum or simply a nice chat with anyone of the many women hanging around, gowns in brilliant jewel colors, hair askew. The smell of tobacco clung to every board and scrap of wood really. Finally though, something seemed to interest her.
There seemed to be a card game of sorts in progress and without a moment's thought, Evelyn picked up her mug, and made her way towards them. " Min' if I go 'head an' join ya?" she asked lifting a brow as they each turned to look at her. They were all experienced, that she could derive from the amount of wear in their face. Nothing could be detracted from their gaze. They were quite obviously veterans and while Evelyn was no expert, she could tell they had each found their own misfortunes as well, reading this by their tattered clothing.
"Not at all...if ye be havin' a bit of...well...somethin' ta contribute." One of them grunted as the others chuckled heartily. Evelyn smirked. "Oh, I've got somethin' ta offer..." she began as she detracted a small pouch fattened with coins and clunking it onto the table.
There was silence for a moment and then laughter. "Hah! Well if tha's what ye have. Yer in lass." The one grunted, pulling up a crudely carved wooden chair.

::Leesil glanced over at Rhys:: "not that. Just don't know where my business will take me.....might sail with ye, and I might not......just all depends on the wind really...."
::He gave her an easy smile, that made his elfin like features that much more wild and yet...calm all at once and he turned his eyes back to the land:: "Think we should join your friends? They might be worried about you.....what with some strange man dragging you off and all...."::He chuckled lightly at that. What an irony. They didn't realize just how strange he was...and neither did Rhys. If only she knew what company she was keeping...::

*Lily smiled at Roux* "Thank you, Roux! it'll be nice to catch up on old times, then. Are any of you coming with us?"
*Lily had never really stopped being a social butterfly, even after she became a pirate, she was always one for a laugh and a chat with her friends. and `that was how she saw the crew. A group of friends that on occasion raided a ship or two, could slit a few throats, pillage and plunder settlements at will, and all while still remaining remarkably close.*
*Come to think of it, the thought suddenly struck her, that all of them were really quite a odd crew. She doubted any other pirate crew had bonds like this....and she wondered what other pirates thought of them. Not that it mattered.*
*Lily then turned a smile on Rhys as she and Evelyn and a white haired man left in the general direction of the taverns. She wondered vaguly who the man was, but figured Evelyn could skin the man alive before he realized what was happening. That was of course, assuming the man tried anything stupid. Evelyn was not to be tangled with*
*Keeping that thought in mind she looked back at Roux* "Where to then?"

Roux only shrugged at Lily, still finding it amusing that she was so bubbly. "That is up to you. I assume you have a few places in mind right now."
He too, turned his hazel gold eyes on Evelyn and Rhys as they left with the strange man. Roux frowned inwardly, not really liking the idea, but again, he too, like Lily, felt that Rhys was safe as long as Evelyn was near.
"I suppose towards the shops, I only have a few coins to my name, but I have a thing or two I want buy. I think I know where the store is. Called Sanderson's Quills..or something like that." Roux shrugged again, careless as always. "Lead the way."

Tobbs blinked a bit, opening her eyes and looking around the room a bit sleepily. She hated wasting her time on sleep, but it seemed she did! And in a tavern, for what was worse! Sitting up a bit more and repositioning herself to snuggle against Jack, she sighed and cosed her eyes, falling back to sleep.
"Aye, get 'er off this bloody ship!" "But sir, she's just-" "GET 'ER OFF!!" "Yes sir..."
With that said, the captain shoved her on the ground. She could barely look about after the beating she took, but she did anyways. She grabbed the nearest boot and brought the man to the ground, drawing his sword and barely managing to raise it to the captain's chest. In a moment's notice, the crew wa jumping on her, while one certain man was trying to get her out....
"NO!"
Standing up and nearly knocking down Jack, she drew her sword and blinked a few times, looking around the room as she tried to realize what was going on. Nearly slashng Jack while she peered at all around her, she knocked over someone's rum accidentally and he stood up with a snarl.
She was still clueless on what was going on, and just as he stepped forward to confront her, she cut him across the cheek, falling backwards right into Jack and nearly cutting him as well. The entire tavern was up and staring rather nastily at her...

::Jack let out a sound that was someplace between a yelp and a protest, when Tobbs leapt up, sword drawn. She cut someone, and nearly himself.:: "Easy, luv. What's wrong?"
::The man she cut looked ready to start a fight, but Jack was having none of that:: "Anyone comes near her and you'll be tasting my blade, savvy?" :;:Tobbs had fallen into him, and he stepped in front of her now, sword drawn and ready.:: "Anyone care to try?"
::His eyes were like daggers as he stared the room down. and slowly the angry faces turned back to their rum and card games. Jack snorted and turned to Tobbs:: "Ye alright?"
