[Lieutenant Robert Chase of the Royal Navy at your service, gentlemen. Before you laugh at the flouncy bow round his neck or the pretty braids in his hair, you might want to pay attention to the finely crafted sword he has belted at his waist.

Or either of the pistols, really.]


So the reports were true. This city really has gone to the dogs.

Fair warning to those who would sail under a pirate flag. These waters are the property of Her Majesty's Navy and we will see them rid of their polluting taint. The dissolute and the immoral, thieves, pirates and savages should throw themselves upon the mercy of the Crown now, or I'll make it my personal duty to see your hides tanning on the harbourside. There may be redemption for some of you yet.

But very few, I'll wager.

Come then, who will fight and who will flee? I have a spot to fill on the gallows in the morning.

Yer doom be at hand, ye lice-infested sea dog...

[subecho]

Though I be seein' no lice... brass be looking clean...

[subecho]

No matter: scupper that!

[valentineluke]

Her majesty's service best keep to pirates.

[intheblanks]

I believe that was my stated intent.

Greetings, Lieutenant!

[He's wearing one of those floppy/pointy hats, but nothing else to indicate what side he's on. He is, however, in a rowboat.]

The waters are indeed thick with pirate filth! ...And regular filth.

[intheblanks]

[He curls his lip at the thought.]

Always the way near harbour. No doubt the locals think the water a fit receptacle for their effluvium.

[indecent_butterfly]

You claim issue with those immoral and yet not pirate or thief? Perhaps your majesty should beware wronging those under another's protection.

[intheblanks]

Oh spare me the warnings of elder gods. I thought all the heathens were driven out long ago.

[brobeforehos]

Just the one spot? Gallows must be slow this time of year.

4th... july....

[intheblanks]

Busy, my lady. There's quite a queue.

[studmuffin]

... Chase?

[ Inappropriate boner in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... ] Oh my god that is magic.

[intheblanks]

[Hands out of the kink bucket, Stilinksi.]

A contrary invocation if ever I heard one.

How do you come to know my name?

[affectioning]

You call us immoral as if it's a shame. Try walking on the wild side, Lieutenant. The Navy could use a round of fun.

Also, I prefer it to be called moving on. [ Not fleeing. ]

[intheblanks]

I've yet to encounter a pirate who couldn't use a round of buckshot.

See to it that you do, and before dawn.

[eiremagic]

Have you seen heads or tails of the kraken?

Or of the ship that carried away your bride?

[Because that's the rumor, sir.]

[intheblanks]

[Yes, scurrilous true rumours. He doesn't take kindly to their spreading, boy.]

Those kind of delusions tend to afflict men only after much longer out at sea.

[She's laughing and waving her fingers at her own hair to indicate the fanciness of his.]

I'm loving the hairdo.

[...Not sure if mocking.]

It sits well under a wig.

[Lara is the Mistress of Arms aboard a vessel captained by a bear, but it beats sitting around and thinking about her current situation. It seemed logical to her. When she responds to Robert's network post, she is wearing tight, black trousers, tight black corset under a long-sleeved, black fancy shirt akin to pirate fashion and tall, black boots. Her leather belt has a holding place for a long, black leather whip, her two guns,and a dagger. There is a blade sheath in a pouch in each of her boots and a bandolier of bullets diagonally across her chest. Her buckle is the one she arrived with: a grinning skull design. Very apt. Her hair is in its usual long braid. She looks like a pirate queen from a classy wet dream.]

You would have to catch me first, and that isn't going to happen.

[He may be a man of the Queens Navy and opposed to Ms Croft's kind in their every detail, but he'd have to be blind or dead not to pay due interest when this message comes through. He takes a minute to consider the image she presents.

Then nods, curtly.]

Fortunately, you look like you'll stand out in a crowd. I doubt you'll be hard to track down.

[as_damaged]

Oh please, Sir-- do you truly intend to bring the law back to this land?

[She looks, and sounds, desperate and hopeful-- wide-eyed, a bit bedraggled, her long hair roughly tied back; she's dressed in plain clothes, worn but as neat as she can manage.]

[video;]

[intheblanks]

[Poor urchin. The mere sight of her turns him gentle and concerned.]

Lady, it's more than an intention. It's my duty to see it done.

(Who's scared of a stupid sword? He's on the other side of the network anyway. And AHAHAHAHAHAH THAT HAIR!)]
