It was a smaller place, but the back of it went right to the water. Quite literally there was a back deck that was on the water, with a few tables. you could here some rather bad music coming from inside and some shouts and yells. but nothing that sounded violent. Just sounded like a lot of people having a good time:: -Jack Sparrow, of The Gold Mermaid
Welcome, pirates and lasses, to the Gold Mermaid! This tavern isn't simply any old tavern amongst the many that call Tortuga 'ome! We'll be introducin' some new events, and we'll be asking you to not stay cozied up in the building all night....
There be water, and there be beaches. A fire's already roaring on the sands, and if yer fancy's a mug 'o rum around the flames, then seat yerself by the fire with others, and our ladies will bring you what you order. Care for a swim? We're surrounded by water! An evenin' with someone special at our tables outside? We've got some musicians ready ta play fer ya, and an oceanside view. Or just wish to relax? We've got every modern convenience a tavern in this town 'as, and more!
Pull up a chair maties, and look out....somethin's brewing...
RULES 1. Don't flip out...this is like Tortuga's usual taverns, but it'll have some twists along the way, that we we add some new elements and keep a story going! React how you wish, be where you wish, do what you wish. Just look for the event twists in RED and incorporate them somehow!! 2. Have fun!

Emma Hawkins,fresh from her latest fight,swaggered down the streets of Tortuga,which meant one thing-she needed to go get enough money and pay off some of her debts,or find a tavern where she didn't already have a tab that would make the King of England blanch.
Just her luck,she happened to spot a relatively new place down the road:The Gold Mermaid.Sounds lovely...Purse jingling softly in time with her uneven gait,she stepped through the doors and looked around.

The winds have slightly begun to pick up, and the night skies grow grayer as clouds slip into the atmosphere. A chill is carried along the air now, but the night has simply just begun.
Tortuga had always had its famous taverns and cozy inns, but tonight, Tobbs had decided to visit the Gold Mermaid. She had been there once before and enjoyed it quite well. She arrived earlier and had taken a seat with a few men in a game of cards. They had sneered at her being a woman, thinking she’d surely not win. Nonetheless, the pirate lass one 2 games out of 3 by the time she sat out.
“Aw, don’ worry fellas, ya can’t win every time.”
It was high time she took a break as well, for someone quite familiar caught her eye. She sensed a chill in the air and looked towards the open door- There stood Emma! She smiled and stood herself, calling over to her crew mate.
“Well if it isn’t Emma! Bartender, let’s ‘ave two rums while yer at it.”
Gesturing her to a nearer table to the door, she sat down and pulled out a chair. The winds seemed to be picking up..
“What ‘ave you been up to, mate? Jus’ finished up a game ‘o cards meself, though I doubt we should be invitin’ ourselves inta that group again…bloody ego drivin’ bilge rats, the lot of ‘em.”

There was a slight chill,and Emma wished briefly that Rick were here,or at least his coat.She looked up,smiling suddenly as she noticed her crewmate."Tobbs,lass!'Ow are ya?Not causin' too much trouble withou' me,I 'ope?"she asked,sitting down next to the other woman and picking up her mug as the bartender set it before them."Bloody lovely weather we're 'avin',isn' it?"

Nakia shiverd as she walked through the streets of Tortuga. That was the problem with bare shoulders and other revelaing clothes. When the wind picked up, you were in trouble. She looked up and saw the sign for the Gold Mermaid. Well anything was better then standing out in breeze. Her tight, laced, black pants swished a little as she directed herself towards the tavern.
Once inside, Nakia shook her wildly colored hair out of her face. She peered around the tavern, and felt a bit uncomfortable. This didn't exactly look like the type of place where her kind was welcome... but then this was Tortuga. Getting a rum for herself she took a seat near the fire, but still a little in the shadows. She knew her clothing and hair proabably would have already attracted attention to herself, and she thought it best to stay out of everyone's way. Besides... when you sit by yourself and simply listen and watch... you never know what kind of information you may learn.
