Serious: My justice isn't like yours (closed)

Johan looked down at the boy. Someone wanted to work with Jackson? Normally, people were a little creeped out by him...
But that wasn't the problem here.
"Well.... do you have a bounty?"

Baukra was used to people acting strangly around him but he knew that her shyness didnt simply stem from his attractiveness. She was just shy by nature. He felt so what sorry for her although he didnt know how help her exude confidence.

After leaving noble life he had pretty much survived by himself since his dad turned himself in. The life of a group was new to him. He new these people pretty much wanted what he did but he wasnt confortable with putting trust in other fully. Bakura desided that he would not volunteer for unknown task but simply do what he absoultly needed to.

Luna smield as her wings moved to her head and she pushed off her banister. She yawned softly and streached "i wonder if there's anything to snack on here" she said softly to her self.

"Yes..." Uddo said slowly. "I saw it a day or so ago. It's only 1,000. I was kind of in the wrong place at the wrong time. Is that relevant?"

"Well, if it's only 1000.... Yeah, that could work."
Johan nodded to himself and seemed a little less worried.
"You see, you will have to spy for me. I need to know the whereabouts of a pirate named Avis Ridley. Can you do that for me?"

Finally, the ship left the docks and glided out onto the sea. The crew calmed down a little now that they were done with their work.
Jackson popped up close to Luna.
"If you want to eat something, you'll have to make it yourself. We... don't really have a cook."
Why did he have to underline their lameness with every single thing he said?

Luna jumped as the guy poped up next to her "oh uh..wait really?" she asked suprized "well...i can cook" she smiled and rubbed the back of her head "i cant really do much eles"

"Avis Ridley..." Uddo frowned. "I've heard that name somewhere before..." Then his eyes windened in realization. "Wait, when I saw my bounty poster I had been looking over a bunch of them. I think I saw this Avis's bounty poster. It looked fairly new. I think it said...71,000,000. She must be pretty tough. Anyways, I'm rambling. Sure, I'll look for her with Jackson."

Labelisa went off to find the kitchen, wondering what was all there to make something out of. When she finaly got there, it was pretty clean to her suprize. She walked around and ended up finding lots of things she could use for making a roast "this will do" she said and got to work..also making her self a sandwhich on the way.

"Oh... oh yes, she's tough... But she's still so beautiful... graceful... Though not in the classic sense, mind you... More in a rough sense that can chop you in two... But of course, she'd only do it if there wasn't any other way, I'm sure! She's got such a strong sense of justice, and..."
Johans eyes had slowly become dreamy as he gazed at the horizon. Only when he realised he was not thinking, but talking out loud did he return to reality.
"Uh..."
He laughed nervously and blushed as he looked back to Uddo. He obviously knew what this had sounded like.
"I mean, it's not like that. We're just... you know.... I see her as a comrade, a friend.... Uh... C-could you possibly not tell my crew about this?"

"I- is that something eatable??"
it was a rebel grunt who saw Luna and her food first. The word eatable attracted the attention of several others, who had soon gathered around her and were looking at the sandwich in awe... and, granted, quite hungry.
They murmured as if they had never seen such a beutiful thing, a girl with a sandwich in her hand... but mostly the sandwich. Obviously, they used to improvise what they ate until now, and this looked like a work of art to them.

Uddo grinned. "Tell them what?" he asked. "Right, then where should Jackson and I start our search for you girlfri-I mean, comrade? Or am I supposed to just follow Jackson?"

Luna blinked slightly as the men came over, staring at her sandwhich "uh yes" she said and walked over to the oven, where she placed the rost. She pulling it out and the smell of its slightly cooked skin rolling out, she putting it on the counter and cut it twice, then makes small holes she filled with a apple and orange juice mixture. She put it back in the over before looking at the men "uh, i could make you guys something if you'd like" she said softly

Thinking to himself <This is pretty sad...all these people and not a cook amongst them. How do you set out to see with out a way to survive. Im by no meens a chef but I can get a free meal or catch somthing and cook it via fire..>

@Luna "Well since you asked I would like somthing as well.
It wasnt that Bakura couldnt do it he still muched prefered others to do for him

"So, Johan where are we headed next"

"uh, next?.... Ahaha, next! Weeeell..."
It was pretty obvious he relly didn't want to answer. he sighed and scratched the back of his head while looking anywhere but at the new guys.
"Next... Anywhere with a marine post... Uh, we don't... really have a navigator..."
Seemingly, he decided it was time to change subject again now, as telling the new guys they didn't have a navigator after admitting that they didn't have a cook was... well, emberassing. Before he knew it, he'd be telling them they didn#t have a doctor! Which... they didnt.... Jamil used to take care of their wounds, but well... torturer and doctor wasn't really the same...
"That's where you and Jackson come in! I want you to get me some info from the marines about where to find Avis so we can meet up with her!"

Some of the men were drooling already. It was quickly clear that yes, they wanted something to eat!
"A cook! A real cook!"
One of the younger ones murmured to himself while staring at Luna like one would stare at an angel. The other men weren't any less impressed.
Luna had been on the ship for less than ten minutes, and already she was the crews darling...

Luna giggled softly at there stares and smiled "well uh" she said and looked around grabing a peice of paper and a pen. Also putting her hair up into a pony tail and putting her large scarf to the side "what do you guys want?" she asked picking up the paper and pin and getting ready to write.

"Navigating..." Uddo thought about this. "Nope, don't know a thing about navigators. I am sort of a doctor though...well, doctor in training."

Johan grabbed Uddos shoulders, a gleam of true happiness in his pale green eyes as he even started shaking him a little.
"That's wonderful! That means Jamil won't get to..."
He stopped and seemed to htink a little about what he was about to say.
"I mean, of course Jamil will help you, but he isn't a doctor... I mean, he does know about the body... But he's not here right now, anyway..."
With the last words, his expressin returned to depressed and his grip on the boys shoulders lessened. Right, his two closest crewmembers were still gone.

The man started shouting all kind of different meals, some of which were easy and known to everyone, some of which most people would most likely never have heard of before. Coming from the farthest corners of the world to follow one man into battle did that. Absolutely multicultural.
Even a Jackson, and in a revolutionary crew.... that was rare... so rare it was almost a miracle. Speaking of which, he was nowhere to be seen. Not much of a surprise, most Jacksons didn't need much food.

Luna was writing as fast as she could. trying to get the down the orders "ok ok! now everyone out, i need space to cook" she giggled and smiled as she shood the them that where twice her size out of the kitchen and started getting to work, she new most of the things, sence she had been flying around the world for a while. but a few she had to look up in cook books and see what was there.

When everything was done, she put it all out on a table and few in the air as she opened the kichen door "foods done!" she called and flew up agnest the ceiling so she wasnt trampled, a plat of her own in her hand as she few out of the kitchen and up on a rail as she ate.

"Whoa!" Uddo stumbled back from Johan after he had finished shaking him and loosened his grip enough for the boy to escape. "It's great to see you're so enthusiastic about it, but like I said, I'm a doctor-in-training. I know doctors call their work a 'practice' because we never learn everything there is to know, but my ability is mostly limited to cuts and wounds. I haven't really gotten into taking care of diseases."

"Oh..."
Johans disappointment was quite obvious. Nevertheless, he was up again a mere second later, with his usual, nice smile on his face.
"Well, that's basically.... what Jamil is limited...to... But it's always good to have a doctor on board whos main job isn't to cause things pain!"
He saw Luna coming out of the kitchen and sighed. He could imagine what had been going on there... His men had been living from fruit and fish for too long. Finally they had found a cook... that was good. It'd keep their morals up. Still, he'd prefer it if they wouldn't trample her to death.
"Are you okay, Luna?"

Luna was in the middle of eating a peice of the roast before looking up at johan. she smiled and swollowed as she nodded "im fine, dont worry" she smiled

Johan laughed in a relieved way.
"I'm really sorry, but it seems we didn't have a cook, so there were times when we lived on what we caught, mostly only half cooked... Well, it was okay as long as it was fish, but that one time, we found that marine vessel floating around with all the crew slaughtered by some nutcase, and..."
He scratched the back of his head.
"Well, just do me a favor and don't get killed. I really don't want something like that to happen again."
Just what had happened was left to the imagination of the listeners.

A few hours had passed and it was already dawning when one of the men called to Johan.
"Sir! Land!"
He looked up to him and raised an eyebrow. He had spent all night on deck, looking at the stars and playing cards with the guards.... He hadn't been able to sleep anyway. Not with things being like they were now.
"Already? You sure it's not just us sailing in circles and landing at the exact same island again?"
The man looked through the spyglass again, and, after a while, back at Johan.
"No, sir. Not this time."
Johan shrugged.
"Well, what do you know. Okay, let's go there."


(Decided to stick another island into this thread, it won't take long. After this, we'll have to wait a little, how long, I don't know yet, it depends on the other crews. Also, this crews fail level just went up.)

"ill try not to" she laughed and finished her food, flying into the kitchen and putting it in the sink. She'd make the food, but she was not doing dishes. She few out and up to stand on one of the masks(sp?).

Bakura had quietly taken his food elsewhere. It had been ages since he sat down and ate with someone, well there was the bar... but that didn't really count. he wasn't quite comfortable with bunch yet. And in his mind they weren't to pleased to have him either. He spent the time staring off into the see not really looking at anything... but snapped into focus when someone called out land.

"So this is it? Anyone know where we are?

((Do you mean masts, Labelisa? This is a mast:

Spoiler:

))

Uddo spent the last few hours wondering about what he was going to do to increase his doctoring skills. It had been hard to miss the look of disappointment in Johan's eyes when he had said that all he knew about was fixing wounds. So far, Uddo had decided that he might pick up some books on the subject at the next island, if they had a place to buy books. Of course, he also needed money and it wasn't like he could stay in one place long enough to earn it. The most logical thing he could come up with was to temporarily leave the crew, stay in one place for about a year, earn the money he needed, buy the books, and learn all he could before joining back up again with the crew. However, that was also risky as he would probably be picked up for his bounty, despite it being so low. Frustration was clearly etched onto his face as he stood up from where he had been sitting on the center of the deck, and he wandered over to where Johan was looking at the next island.

When Johan noticed Uddo walking towards him, he smiled.
"Hey there little one! Prepare yourself, you know what you have to do on this island..."
He saw the look on his face, and his smile turned into a worried look.
"Wha-what is it? Y-you don't have to do this if you don't want to, you know!"
Maybe he was afraid of the marine? Right, he did have a bounty... But Jackson was going to be with him. No one questioned Jackson. Ever.
