The Tavern

[Meru]

"Err.. Calm down you two.. I'm certain we can work something out if we just talk things through.." Leon asks, trying to stop this from escalating into a full scale bar fight.

[Mitera Nikkou]

"Why... You... Overgrown... Barnacle terd...!" She sputtered as she grabbed for the nearest object nearby, and got ahold of Meru. She tried to throw him at the old fisherman, but she wasn't even thinking rationally enough to wonder if she had the strength (boosted by adrenaline) to perform such a feat, much less notice what it was that she had grabbed ahold of.

[Empusa Sesshi]

Salty Mike watches with amusement as Stud lifts Leon...then is promptly smushed under his weight. The entire bar roars with laughter now.

[Meru]

Leon quickly gets up, attempts to help Stud up, and thens tands in between the two of them.
"Stop fighting right now! We have more important things to worry about, than just simple bar fights over someone's gender! There are flying lobsters out there! Think of the damage and chaos they could be causing!" Leon says, seriously, not joking one bit.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Stud calms down a bit, then turned to face Leon, still panting a little from her exertions. "Are they really that much of a threat?"

She tried to remember what a lobster looked like, as it had been a while since she had ever eaten one. Then she added wings to the meal that she remembered eating, using her imagination. She pictured it flying around, causing damage and chaos. She had trouble deciding if she should continue attacking the old fisherman or convincing him to aid them in stopping the menace that was the flying lobsters.

[Empusa Sesshi]

He frowns at Leon's sobering words. "A..aye lad...ye're right...o'course...f'rigve an old sea dog lass..." He sighs. "Old traditions.."

[Meru]

"Is there any mention in the old traditions as to how one may take a female on board a ship without bringing bad luck on it? Such as sacrificing a cow to the Gods, or covering her with fish?" Leon suggests.

[Empusa Sesshi]

"Aye good thinkin lad! Tae the docks with 'er, we'll tie fish on the lass."

[Mitera Nikkou]

Stud blinks, looking back and forth between Leon and Salty. "Hold on, here... Did I just miss something...?"

[Meru]

"Ah, I just managed to get you aboard the ship. By tying some fish onto you, we should avoid the bad luck that would occur if you went aboard a boat. So no worries! Just follow us, and then we'll be finding out the secret to the flying lobsters before you can say typhoon." Leon explains to the former fae, as he heads off to the docks with the fisherman.

[Mitera Nikkou]

As Stud follows them to the docks, she thinks: "I don't know if it's a good thing to remember why I'm going along with this..."

[Empusa Sesshi]

So the odd trio makes their way to the docks...where Stud is soon equipped with...a fish suit! Yes, she is in fact stuffed into a suit designed to make one look like a fish...that is MADE of fish!

[Meru]

"It fits you well, Stud! You look very fish-like." Leon remarks.

[Mitera Nikkou]

Stud keeps herself from smacking Leon because of his comment and, her voice tense, said: "Let's just get this over with..."

[Empusa Sesshi]

"Aye lass...ye be smellin an lookin fishier already! Ill luck is averted! Tae the ship!" He BOLDLY strides to the docks...leading you to a rather disappointing little fishing boat...that looks ready to fall apart any second.
