Cadivier's Scourge

[Rogue of Night]

The blonde man smirked. ""Ah, well, I'll let our Captain decide that, yeah?" He flipped his hair out of his face before turning to leave once more. "I'm willin' to bet that he'll find one for her before we set out again."

[C H E Y E N N E]

"There are plenty of pianos in this town," Ashley said, violet eyes flashing. "He can find another."
Elizabeth nodded. "You pirates aren't taking anything from us easily!"

[Rogue of Night]

"But what fun is that?" The blonde inquired, smirking deviously. "Much more exciting when we take it from someone else. Isn't that normally how things go? Though I'm sure, Ternisle being the gentleman he is, would compensate you handsomely."

[C H E Y E N N E]

Elizabeth stepped in front of Ashley, sensing her ex-husband's temper snap, as it usually did when his piano was threatened.
"We don't care for being compensated," she said flatly. "We've owned that piano for years. It's not going anywhere we are not. If we return across seas, we will bring it with us."

[Rogue of Night]

"I'd suggest shifting your ideals about the stupid thing," the man stated. "If the captain wants it, he's going to get it whether you like that or not." And with that, he was gone, off to the tavern where the rest of his party was just leaving.

[C H E Y E N N E]

Elizabeth watched them go, a hard expression in her eyes matching that of the aristocrat next to her. "Ashley?"
"We're going back to the house."
He was gone before she could protest, and she followed quickly.

Nikolai frowned. "Ivan."
"Da?"

[Rogue of Night]

"We're returning to the ship," Tenaiya told the blonde as he approached.
"With or without the piano...?"
"Ashton, honestly." Tenaiya shook her head.
"Where's Charlie?" inquired Amelia.
The blonde man suddenly appeared. "Here. And Blake?"
Foriden exited the tavern last, Blake at his side. "She's right here."
Charlie scowled but said nothing more.
"Where are we off to next?" Blake inquired sharply.
"Wherever you want to go."
The brunette huffed with annoyance. She hated this.
"I heard mention of a piano...?" Merrina piped up from Amelia's right.
Blake sighed, nodding. "It's the one we've been looking for."
"Owned by a bastard, no less," Ashton added.
Tenaiya glared at him.
"There's already two of our best extracting the item," Foriden announced, starting for port.
"Who...?"
"You'll see."

"That it, huh?"
The dark haired man nodded. "Yeah, that would be it."
"Sivatul, get one end."
Said dark-haired man started for the musical piece, ignoring the rest of the furnishings in the house. "Grab the front, Selviana."
"Aye."
Together, they took their positions and lifted the large instrument.

[C H E Y E N N E]

A loud ninja-like cry was uttered, followed by the dull thunking of metal hitting something as Elizabeth snarled, holding the vibrating pan in her hand. "You're not taking it anywhere!"
Ashley's eyes narrowed. In his hand he held a halberd, which his first fiancee had shown him how to use, before he left Europe.

[Rogue of Night]

"Ah, they need assistance," Tenaiya announced. "Merinna, Amelia, go aid them, yes?"
The women nodded and immediately started for the house.

Sivatul shot them a bored look. "Get out of our way so we can just be out of here already. This village is beyond imbecilic."
Selviana just eyed Elizabeth before glancing at Ashley. "Be careful with that weapon, Lordy. You might hurt yourself," she taunted, grinning.

[C H E Y E N N E]

Ashley spun it around so it pointed straight at her. "Try me, pirate," he said, voice cold like ice. Elizabeth moved to slam the frying pan into their fingers.
"That piano isn't going anywhere!" She repeated for what must have been the fourth time. "Not without us. It is ours."
Ashley laughed, the sound bitter. "You have taken everything from the villagers already. Leave this here."

[Rogue of Night]

Sivatul shook his head. "No, I'm afraid I can't do that. Our captain has given us orders to extract this thing for his pet."
Selviana rolled her eyes, but grinned as the two other women pirates entered the home.
"Let's get the hell out of here," Amelia announced. "Ternisle's getting restless."
Merrina pushed past Elizabeth and Ashley, and once Sivatul and Selviana took up the instrument again, they began for their makeshift entry point; a hole in the side of the house.

[C H E Y E N N E]

Ashley lunged forward, the point of the halberd catching the arm of one of the pirates, leaving a gash - not deep, but enough to let them know that he was serious.
Elizabeth didn't even give them a warning, she leapt forward, the frying pan aimed for the head of the nearest pirate.

[Rogue of Night]

ooc: I seriously want to kill Elizabeth right now. She's bugging the fuck out of me.

bic: Amelia retaliated the halberd attack by grabbing it with swift skill and prowess, holding it tightly as she glared into Ashley's eyes. "Oh, now look what you've done. And I just had that tattoo finished."
Merrina glared at Elizabeth, whipping out a strange looking cutlass swiftly, aiming it at the approaching woman. "Stand down, bitch."
Sivatul and Selviana continued toward their hole, the former stepping out while Selviana followed, the piano in their grasp.

[C H E Y E N N E]

ooc;; She's... an interesting character. Honestly, I based her off of a friend of mine, because I couldn't get a sense of what I wanted her to be. Perhaps it's too modern?
Srsly, though, man. Piano. Did you think they'd sit back and do nothing? It's the one thing that can be used against Ashley, and Elizabeth will do anything to protect him.

bic;; "If you take the piano, then I am going with you," Ashley hissed, his voice passionate as he watched his instrument vanish. "Violence..." He shook his head. "Something I have never been good at. Fighting."

[Rogue of Night]

ooc: She also reminds me of this Naruto OC in a fanfic I just read yesterday, who drove me nuts, and makes me grit my teeth every time I read about anything closely related.

bic: "That is for our captain to decide," Amelia told him bluntly, removing herself from his immediate presence, following her crewmates.
"Your little wifey here will be slaughtered if you bring her. Either that, or used as a toy for the lonely male crew. Her attitude would not be tolerated as anything else," Merrina pointed out, sheathing her weapon. "If you're to follow, you follow alone."
