((Short post, sorry.))
Dark gave a nodded to Tiger, already getting the captain's point. He bowwed respectfuly to him, as he gave his responce. "I understand, Sir. I will cease any actions that you find displeaseing while on board." Gan Ning looked between Tiger and the ninja, back and forth a few times. "Right, no water antics. I got ya, cap." He left Dark to himself, the ninja turning to gaze at the waves. "Man, talk about a rough running. Well, I'm not going to argue with a man on his own ship, whare his rules stand."
The other, however, walked back to Quicksand. "You holding up okay so far, Quicky?" Since he could be going about his Water gifted talents, and Tiger was in a bad mood, he chose to just hang with Quicksand till Tiger had a chance to calm down and deal with all these noise makers. "I think we better let Cap have some space; I've been on his bad side, and I NEVER want to be on it again."

"What do ya say, Cap? Room for one more of my kind?"
Cutter growled, turning with a toss of his black and gold mane to the newest arrival. His anger had not been pacified, and his temper flared as strongly as it had before. The large stallion had had just about enough of this nonsense, and didn't hesitate to say so.
"This is a ship for PIRATES," The stallion stated in a low tone, venom in his voice, "Not for some ninja CLOWNS stickin' to the deck like spiders an' gettin in the way!" He snorted heavily through flared nostrils. "We loaded all th' cargo already, and I'm NOT preparin' to feed another mouth!"
It was never a good idea to get Cutter's temper going. Unfortunately, these Champs and newcomers had much to learn about the red stallion.

Tiger flattened his ears. He heard Cutter's explosion very well, and it made him realise that apparently his true intention had not been taken in by the two stallions. He stomped his hoof.
"There won't be another mouth to feed," he said sternly, shaking his mane. He spoke to Gan Ning now mostly, as he was the one on whose responsibility he saw it to be to get rid of Dark. "I said no. I said I have had enough strangers on my ship. The ninja will leave before we set sail, or I will let Cutter throw him to the sharks. He can try again after all this mess with the Champions is done. I have no patience for trying out more new crewmembers now."

Bridie sidled forward towards Coon, careful to wiggle her backside rhythmically as she moved. She stopped next to Coon and said nothing, but fluttered her eyelashes flirtily.

Gan Ning knew the diffrence between requests and orders, and this was very clearly an order; And as First Mate, he had to make sure all orders were followed, even if that ment dealing with another or his own type... However, Dark had heard already. "No need to ask. I see and understand where the mood tis, and I applogize that I have just added to te foul mood with my very presence. Kail, I'll find my own way to meet up with you. I'd rather avoid causeing trouble than to urge it. Good luck in making it safely." And like that, the ninja calmly left the ship by the gang plank to avoid further angering the captain and the very large stallion who could no doubt, with any trouble, break his bones like sticks if he caught him. Only after the Ninja was far from the port did he vanish on the winds, no doubt to catch up after they arived.
How he went about leaveing, and his words, however, struck something in Gan Ning; His respect. Not many heeded Tiger and Cutter's wishes when given the 'polite' asking when blood was boiling, and endded with many being feed to the ocean's cruel ways by Cutter and a mile long pitch. That Ninja, however, clearly got the point, and what's more, didn't argue. Now THAT was a guy with guts, since he didn't allow his pride to be offended bythe mood. He walked over to Cutter and patted the mass of muscle on the sholder. "Sorry, Cutter. Didn't know you were getting so worked up on things. Tell ya what. As much as I know I'm not as strong as you are, well, in the sheer muscle bulk department, if you wanna take a rest and calm down, I'll deal with the anchor and so on. I do worry about you, my friend." He turned to Tiger then, and gave a nod. "Sorry for adding that trouble, Sir. I'll mind your wishes more closely, at least more than I already have. Sir."
He returned to Quicky, just hoping that he was able to mend the wounds he cause two the only Stallions in the world so close to him that they were like brothers, all born from his own family. "This is the first time I've EVER seen them so stressed. I don't like it when they have to be under such preasure, and me unable to help out very much..."

Tiger watched Dark go with still flattened ears, but rather a fonder heart. He blew a gush of hot air out of his nostrils, and shook his head. Well. At least some ponies here respected his orders. Good. His scowling face turned to Gan Ning as he spoke, and the first mate's apology smoothed his anger a little. He nodded, just a little stiffly, and then let it go at that. The ninja had left; good. He would think again of letting him on a trial on his ship when this task was done. Until that, the matter was settled.
He turned to look at the Champions again, only to meet an unpleasant sight. Bridie's flirting with Coon was unmistakable. Well, allbeit that Tiger liked Coon, well, respected him - as he believed the thief to be a stallion - for his skills, his liking was eagerly lessened by the thought that Coon might have a go at Bridie. It was a senseless kind of jealousy - as Tiger himself quite had an eye for other mares - but it was there. He snorted and was for a while distracted, looking at Bridie and Coon together.

Kail nearly cringed as Dark spoke to her - she really didn't need to be associated with ponies who the pirates weren't fond of. Although she supposed they weren't fond of any of them just then.
Grabbing Razzaroo's tail to tug him back (she really didn't want to see that red stallion start beating on her boyfriend for trying to be nice) she wondered where the Champions should put themselves on the ship to be as well out of the way as possible. She would ask later, when the captain seemed a little less preoccupied.

Razz let out a surprised Oof! when Kail tugged him backward. He turned around and came nose to nose with her. Blushing a bit, he whispered, "Not now, honey." He gave her a pointed look and proceeded to survey the ship. Things didn't seem to be going well. He sighed and sat down with a thump upon the deck.
He sat there for a long time, seemingly lost in thought (though probably not very deep thought).
"Ponyfeathers," he muttered. "I could go for some cabbage right about now."

Cutter paced with heavy, thudding steps until his temper boiled down. Once he got worked up, it was often very difficult for the stallion to control himself, much less calm down. Though he would never admit it, the thought of all these new faces aboard Tiger's ship set him ill at ease, and even threatened to intimidate the large stallion. He was sure now he'd have to stay vigilent, and be ready should another argument or even a fight break loose. Though he really wasn't too worried about the fighting part.
Once the stallion felt composed and under control, he stamped a hoof and stood still a moment, before returning to Tiger's side. Now that the hierarchy had somewhat been established, Cutter wondered how long Tiger would wait before giving him the signal to pull anchor.

Roxanne flared her nostrils. The Champions were just standing around awkwardly... she felt uncomfortable, and decided to do take a chance on doing something to break the feeling.
She squared her shoulders and stepped up to a respectable distance from Sea Tiger. The blue streak in her eyes shone, and she made an effort to keep her speech politely similar to the way the captain and his crew spoke, to put him at ease.
"Captain - " and she bobbed her head - "Roxanne, at your service while aboard your ship. Do you have a berth of some sort for my friends and myself? I'm sure it would do all of us good if we stayed out of the working way of you and your crew."

Tiger managed to tear his eyes off of Coon and Bridie when Roxanne approached him. He blinked and looked at her. The mare's beauty took him off guard again. A grin spread on his face. Bridie seemed to be preoccupied. He might as well focus his attentions on this yellow mare.
"Aye," he said and nodded, his mood instantly bettering for the thought of getting to flirt with the mare. "I guess it'd be good to show you some place in the ship. Though as for staying out of the way, I do hope you won't spend all your time under deck. It'd be shame to be missing all the sights." And his eyes went over her in a way that suggested that he might have been referring to sights he himself wanted to see, rather than those he regretted Roxanne possibly missing.
Hollow had to smile when he noticed Tiger's clear interest in Roxanne. He himself wasn't there to find himself a mate, so it didn't even cross his mind to look at the mares on board that way, but he had to admit that the Blue Champion was a rather gorgeous pony.

Out of the ship, on the docks, Princess Rain crept behind the odd barrels and other stuff, keeping well out of sight and expecting his brother to do the same. She snuck as close to the ship as she could - recognising it for the fact that she saw Kail's familiar shape on board. She examined the ship with her eyes intently until she spotted a little window on the hull. Her lips curved to a smile.
"See that window there, Kenaz?" she whispered to her brother, pointing at the little round hole. "That's where we're going in. We have to be really quick, and no one can see us. I bet they're leaving soon. It looks like all the Champions are already inside."
[[note to other players: they're supposed to get in unnoticed - or at least Kenaz is]]

Even as Kenaz crept along behind his sister, he wondered how reasonable it was to expect his bright, almost glowing-white hide to go unnoticed anywhere. When he set his eyes on the window, however, nervousness swept all other thoughts aside. This was it. They were going! He didn't notice when his coat seemed to dim.
"Who goes first?" He asked softly.

Rain was too excited to pay attention to Kenaz's obvious powers coming into play, dimming his coat. Her eyes were intently on the shapes of ponies moving around on the deck.
"You," she said. "I'll keep an eye on them, and then come after. I'm more experienced at this than you are."
She had never really been very good at "stealth", but she wanted to appear very professional. She wasn't about to admit that it had been Skydancer who had saved her a great many times during their travels together.

Kenaz fluttered up the the porthole, biting his lip when the pack slipped down a bit. He'd never flown while carrying anything before. Straining, silently, he wrestled with the porthole, finally wresting it open with a faint grunt. He shoved the pack in first, then wriggled in after it.
Kenaz looked around, then pulled the pack over behind what appeared to be fresh water barrels. He sat there, rubing his wings absently and waited for his sister.

Rain held her breath when she watched Kenaz wiggle his way inside the ship. No one seemed to notice anything. She let out a relieved breath. Then she looked up once more. Now or never. She took in a deep breath, opened her wings and tested them a little, readying herself.
Up on the deck, Tiger winked once more to Roxanne and then turned to his crew.
"Aye, folks!" he announced with a loud, commanding voice. "It's time to set sail! Quicksand, you're familiar enough with the ship now, you go and show our passengers here the way to some free quarters on the ship. The rest of you," he looked mainly at Cutter and Gan Ning, whom both he knew to mainly fulfil his orders, "get her off the dock! We're on our way!"
