Captain Striker

Hmmm , love it ... Wish I had my own Jack which I could be shooting again and again and again and again . If you are going to sell the monkey let me now...

"Mistress Melchert , do not be alarmed by our frankness ! if you have not noticed yet we are not ordinary captains , that is why we get out so well with each other . " said Striker , trying to reasure Jane as much as he could . "All of us started out as sailors , even Ransom here . " he then made a roll with his eyes , put a hand on top of his head and started to scratch it . He then laughed out "Well except for me . I started out as a captain " he then continued "But I still had to prove myself so the men could respect me. It was not until The Spaniard attacked us that I gained it " he said. "As you see we do not look down on you , as you look down on us !" "Do not judge a person by his looks , but by his actions I say !"

They walked out of the inn and started to walk towards Striker's pride and joy , La Maligna , which was situated at the North Docks. Striker felt that someting was amidst . He could hear 4 pair of footsteps following them from behind.

"Spoons , you are a great cook ... Jacky if he wasn't your cook I would steal him away in the midst of the night " Striker praised spoons and joked around with Jacky while he was still eating "what do you say , Mistress ?" he asked jane

As Jane walked back onboard the Relentless . Striker followed , it seemed as if she did not want to stay with company any more to him. "Just a breakfast and then we will be off " he thought to himself. He saw Jacky and Ransom engaged in a conversation. It put a smile on his face .

Striker's eyes could not hide the annoyence that he felt , but then he thought about Sterling's situation . He was shot and only God and Sterling's entourage knew where and how serious the injuries were. "I will accept that the Captain has to rest. Tell him that I can be found onboard my ship La Maligna , it is docked at the North Docks ." He then gave a nod to Mr. Hazzards and bid him farewell. Hazzards turned around and went out of the inn . Striker's thoughts started to pull him in different directions. Did Sterling play Cat and Mouse with him or was he truthfull with his intensions ? His attention was suddenly focused upon Jane that seemed to be very quiet and looked as if she wanted some form of answer to the enigma she had stumbled on , which was the meeting between Sterling and him. "Guess the wait here is over and a new one begins . Think I will be heading back to my ship , if ye wish ye can follow . " He said and looked at Jane that had finished her supper and were looking at him with astonishment .

I like the simple one the best. Simplicity , most of the time , is the right choice . :) Good take at the signatures , Chole :angry:

"Thank Spoons , but I will not be eating fish for a while " Striker's stomach starts to turn by the thought alone.

Striker was sitting on very same barrel he tried to hide his attributes behind the night before . He had many thoughts runing through his his head and he found it best to be alone to see where his mind would lead him. As he lid his pipe his eyes caught a glimpse of Jane departing in all haste . "Guess the get together is over" He thought to himself. “Good morning Mistress” he then added "Going so soon ? I would have wished that ey would have waited untill after breakfast . After a good meal I shalt depart as well , my men and ship awaits me !"

Now you tell me ... Thank you for the heads down , and not up

Here is my ensign . I am complete rubish when I have to draw , so it was made by William Red Wake. Thanks again! Owe you a million .

"Aye , full moon in Danish is almost the same as in English . It is fuld maane in Danish. " "Ah , snoerre broed my dear Ransom. You must have been sitting near a camp fire then . I have only tried it ones . " He saw that Jacky and Jane looked as if they were two big question marks so he continued. "It is just some dough wrapped around a stick . Then you just hold the stick over the bon fire untill you have bread , light burned though. Unless you are really unlucky and get some coal on a stick. " The last comment gave him a remembrance of his own stick of coal and put a smile on his lips . But it seems to make Jane feel uncomfortable because shehe turned her head around and looked at her glass. "Aye , thanks alot ! See ye in the morning"

Aye , that would be great , seeing the crew of the Watch Dog walking around us "mortals" at the Port

As always Jane made Striker loose his nerves for a split of a second with her direct way of being. His face turned stone cold with seriousness. he took a sip of the port. "As I would have done with my breeches on. I walked ,my dear Lady , I walked !" he laughed out . "Aye , as I said earlier there was a full moon out tonight ." He continued still laughing. "Is that not right my dear Ransom and Jacky ?"

"Aye , the Devil is bearer of the name St.Claire . I lost the coins I had on me in a game of cards , and clothing as well. " Striker said with a smurk on his lips while looking into Jane's eyes which reminded him of the colour of Jade. "Some more port for ye ?" he said with the bottle in his hand. "I am glad to make your aquantance again. Pardon for being this frank , but I must say that I enjoy your company" then he adds " And yours of course !" he says to Ransom and Jacky "Please tell us of your brave deed , my dear lass " he said to Jane

"Ransom there is no time for joking ... as you very well can see there is no hair to comb through , and what crumbs ?" said Striker while he felt panic spread through his body . He ran to the mirror again and tried to straight out his newly borrowed clothes . Put some water on his face to fresh up and dryed his face in one of Spoons favourite table cloths. "Sorry Spoons ! Good thing you are sleeping!" He ran towards gang plank stoped up about 10 meters away from it and started to aproach it in a calm manner. "Mistress Melchert , how pleasant to see you again ! " . Striker looked at Jacky to see if he could give Jane permission to come aboard , Jacky gave him a nod . "Please come aboard and join us for a drink or two , please tell the story of how you saved my belongings from the clutches of the Devil herself "

The voice of the person hailing the Relentless made Striker stop starring at the mirror and break his feeling of being in Limbo. "It is Jane ! " he Exclaims while looking into Ransom's eyes .

"As I said , Jane needs no refining ! And I am not in love with myself , nor with anybody else " Striker sounded as if he was trying to convince the others as himself " Just looking at a wretched man, broken down to the shell that you see before you " he continued.

"No refining of anyone . Jane is a free spirit and that she always should be .... Besides we are not looking for anyone , or are we ? " exclaimed Striker while looking at his reflection in the mirror.

"I am telling you , she is the Devil Incarnate .... cheated me of everything I had on . Which was not much. Since I only had a couple of coins with me for tonight " said Striker while looking at Spoons prepairing a meal.

The supper was served by the bar maid that kept blushing every time she neared Striker . "I think she fancies you !" said Jane before she filled her mouth with meat stew . Striker took a sip fom his glass of port , and put it back on the table . "does not matter if she does or does not ... well not at present time at least " answered Striker while he was looking at Jane eating her heart out . It seemed to him that she must not have eaten for a couple of days . The ferocious way the food went into her mouth surprised him. He did not want to insult her bypointing it out to her . He decided just to eat his meal instead of explaining etiquette and table manners to the lass. He did not want her to leave his side , he actually really enjoyed her company and loved that she was so unpredictable. A faint smile came upon his lips . Jane saw it and one could see the blood rushing to her cheeks on her fair skin .

"Thank you very much " Says Striker , now fully dressed , and starts walking up the gang plank .

"Done and Done "said Striker and hid his corpus behind a packing crate

My sides nearly split from laughing as Jacky bolts off to grab Striker some clothes. Striker hides behind a barrel, but it's a small one, and his lily-white rear shines in the moonlight. "My dear Striker, pull in your stern, man, you're blinding me!" "I am trying to hide the moon , but it is hard ... the barrel is tiny and the moon is ...Full I guess "
