How did you get here?
Oh don't look at me like that! Still, Hi! my name is Seryn *points and sticker* Holds out her hand to shake SR's, as he grasps her hand she pulls him into a quick hug.
I missed you you old bastard.

"She's a mite whimsical in the brainpan." Enormous thank you to KOL for the pictures!
"I was gone? I was gone? I turned around and everyone had left! If it wasn't for the fact that I was still in the nook I would have thought you had marooned me.
As for what I was doing it was a long story lass and not much of it pleasant. Another time perhaps when were are to drunk to know better.
How I got here, that I can't tell you. Not won't, can't.
I missed you too, perhaps that's why I'm here."

It was your typical love story I suppose, girl meets boy, boy has own empire, girl dislikes inlaws, inlaws try to kill girl, boy chooses duty over girl, boy uses influences to hide girl, marries some tiresome royal lettuce leaf. Inlaws think he hides her cause she's carrying future heir to throne, inlaws send assasins, magicians,a few zombies and one very unconvincing were-ferret to get girl. no luck, then one day inlaws killed in a freak landslide whilst on holiday.
Same old, same old. *grins*
Yeah, I reckon it might be fun, useful...
I think I heard that they wanted deputies for the security team.
Not sure I like the idea of going from Captain to deputy though, offends my girly dignity.
First order of business however is to set up some kind of system of early warnings, if we can't stop people suddenly appearing we can gorram well track them when they do.
Do we go all mystical, or stick to good old science? You know I think I had a book somewhere on how ghosts are mostly radio waves and magnetic disturbences, maybe we cold rig the sensors to tell us about any changes to the magnetic fields? though, that works in a hut on an island in the carribean. For all I know magnetic waves on board a starship could be about as stable as a pissed pirate on a pogo stick...
Screw this, I hear theres a game of pants-off twister going on, I vote we go watch.

"She's a mite whimsical in the brainpan."
SR steps in front of Seryn blocking the doorway.
"You can play in a minute but for now, it's time to stand fast me bucko and hear me out. Do you know what nine out of ten dead pirates all have in common? They failed to think things through. I don't care if you really aren't Nell, but you really are my captain and once a pirate captain always a pirate captain. Maybe you are thinking that being a pirate was a mistake, but your biggest mistake was not realizing what you were getting into when you took the title of captain. It's not like a job a the hair salon that you can quit once the shine goes away. You have commanded men (and women) in a brazen criminal league focussed upon the flaunting of all law and extortion for profit by threat and force. Even if you could get the crew to agree to let you off the hook there's the entire 'verse to contend with. If word get's out that Voodoo Nell has given up the plundering and pillaging, every other pirate out there will beat a path to your door looking to deprive you of alll the loot you ever earned. It doesn't matter that you may not have it or never did. Pirates get drunk and tell tales and there a lot of raids and attacks that you have had no part of that have been blamed on you and not by nice cuddly pirates like our old crew, no but by animals only barely human. There are governments that will blame their atrocities on you because everyone hates a pirate. There are bounty hunters, sherriffs, privateers and naval officeers no end, out there, searching for the notorious Voodoo Nell. Lastly there will be people out there that will continue to commit terrible acts in your name once you have stepped down. If you stay active and continue to build a reputation based on true exploits others will a tad more reluctant to think you a easy target or a quick false flag to fly. You see you can't just walk away. We can lay low for awhile, but in time you will have to fly the black flag again. If you choose you may play the Robin Hood and try to do some good. Perhaps you can take a page out friend Roberts' book and cede your legacy on to someone else. Or I could kill you."
Seryn's eyes go wide as pie plates and her face goes to a shade of pale that's almost reflective.
"Well, actually we would have to fake your death. Don't worry we'll figure something out."
SR stands aside from the door.
"You can run along and play. I'm going to get a bite to eat and find a room with a door that locks and s

now just a second! I know we look a bit loony at the moment, but we can be a force to be feared. If you're a part of this crew, we stand with you. You can be sure of that. No worries...well, maybe a few...but we always win...okay two of us have died once or twice, but we're alive now...just know that if you need us, all you must do is ask.

SR looks out of the infirmary door and realizes he's too damn tired to walk to the kitchen and decides he doesn't care about a door with a lock as he climbs onto the examining table and falls asleep instantly.
Twenty minutes later he awakes with a blood curdling scream and with his dagger in his hand before he's completely conscious. He sheaths his blade and wanders out to find a room with a lock, If only to keep from killing someone in his sleep.

Seryn feels herselve pale, and then begin to redden with anger
'you think I don't know all this? You actually think I don't realise exactly how many people would like to seee me dead right at this moment? I've spent most of my life wanted, where do you think the paranoia come from, right now I have eight different weapons on me! Does that seem healthy to you? Back in my room theres a small armoury! you know that little story I mentioned? well, you may not believe it but most of it is true, the biggest lie is what killed them!
*calms*
I know full well that leaving the crew is going to stir up a storm of crap, for me and for them.
Killing me is not an option, the real Nell intends to return, with or without hubby, I can't kill off her life like that, so in the mean time?
For your information, I have thought this through, You remember that cabin boy I had? Well, NOT A BOY. And i'm not talking about age, though he was full well too old for the post.
The important factor here is he was girl! Elizabeth was the name she gave me, and even now she's on Roses ship, she has my serum and at the right time she's going to go back as me, or as Nell. All that time spent in my cabin? Yes I know what the crew thought we were doing, well she was learning to be me, my mannerisms my speech, my style of fighting even.
Seryn trails off, suddenly thoughful.
But you know what? one of us is eventually going to have to go back to support her. I don't like the thought of her on her own, in the beginning anyway.
*anger returns*
Jack, I'm not in the party mood anymore, i'm not fit company, for anything much...
From outside the infirmary, they hear TWG, as Seryn listens to what she says, she begins to get flustered, unused to that kind of blind, whole hearted support...
Thank you TWG, I... but if people come after me the first thing i'm do

Oh, thanks, TWG!
But you don't always make things worse, where would you come up with an idea like that? You know we all love you here. We love your weird ways.
I'm sorry if I was a bit rude earlier. All these stupid pregnancy hormones, you know. I'm just a mess.
*starts shoveling nachos in her mouth*
Besides *she says, with her mouth half full* I've made some improvements to my original design.
Now, did you say pie?

uh huh. You want a particular kind? I'm just making some for the twister game. How can they play without the pie? We always play twister with pie! *fondly remembers getting pied while playing twister and while not playing twister...* I'm just making the basics, but if you want a pie, i can make you a pie. I hear you like coconut *ick* would you like a coconut cream pie?
