Sorry I haven't posted in a few days! Busy week...
---------------------
After our talk with the Mystics, Zade was in a foul mood. But we all agreed that we should be off to Liua as soon as possible. The next day, we brought the ship into the docks and announced our new destination to the crew. We didn't tell them about the necklace; we didn't trust them. There was a bit of a mixed reaction.
"Well," said Jly, "off to Liua, then."
"Not so fast, there," one sailor yelled. "I didn't sign up for a wild goose chase off to the far North with a no-show captain."
A murmur of general agreement rippled throughout the crew.
As time wore on, it became obvious that most of them were unwilling to make the trip with us. In the end, only Jly, Xian, and two others stayed. All the others gathered their things and left. As one of the sailors disembarked, I overheard him mutter:
"Bad luck to have a woman aboard."
I punched him in the face.
"Bad luck for you, anyway," I said.
The man walked down the gangplank with a bloody nose.
When the rest had gone, the seven of us who remained met together in the captain's quarters.
"We're going to need a bigger crew," one of the two sailors stated.
Zade swore. "I know."
"It shouldn't be too difficult to hire some people," the other sailor said. "We have a good amount of money in the hold."
"We'll also be needing supplies," said Jly.

hehe, I've been wanting Allynne to give someone a nosebleed since we started. I'm happy now!
"Well first we have to find some supplies and then some more crew. But how in the world are we going to find a crew who would be willing to sail a pirate ship with no captain??" asked Jly
"Good point" I muttered angrily
"Whats with you" asked Drew
I sneered at him and turned away.
