[ Medusa is a quiet Italian woman, always polite and gentle, but never taken advantage of. Rumor has it she was nobility, but took a fancy to that scary-looking Arthas fellow and ran away to be with him. She stays home and takes care of the house while he's off pirating, like a good little housewife. There are also rumors that horrible things happen to anyone who gets on her bad side, but why would you want to? She's sweet enough. ]

The comings and goings in this place are so hard to keep track of sometimes. I wonder if there's anyone around who might help me with a little project? The weather has taken its toll on this old house. I'd like to make some additions.

[ Private to Arthas ]

Arthas, dear, how goes our latest acquisition? I trust there weren't any difficulties?

[sharpememory]

I would be more than happy to assist in such a project. What do you require? [Barron is basically a middling pirate that wants to suck up to Arthas. :V]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ What better way than through the woman who pulls his strings? ]

A bit of construction, some paint. The outer walls are salvageable. What better time to add to the house?

[sharpememory]

Indeed, I should think. Dare I ask if it was only the weather to take such a toll? I shudder to think what some barbarians in this place could do under the influence of drink.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

[ She laughs, a little tiredly. ]

I'm afraid the local element has had a hand in the "weather" over the years. It's one of the hazards of making a home in a place like this.

[sharpememory]

It doesn't surprise me that many a man chooses to live on his ship or on the tavern floor. But I suppose even that grows tiresome after a time.

Do you require any materials or have you gathered what is needed?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I've bought the paint I wanted to use, but that's all I've managed to gather. [ Why work when you can get big strong men to drag huge planks of wood across the island for you? ]

Of course, I have the funding, just not the supplies. [ These doe eyes are masterful. ]

[sharpememory]

I could gather those things, if required. Where are they?

That's good. While I enjoy helping a lady, my funds are rather short after the sinking of my ship. [And all those drinks he's been buying.]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Far be it from me to drain your pockets for my own projects. [ At least just yet. ]

I suspect the market might be a bit short, but there's plenty of wood to be found here and there.

[sharpememory]

Well, I thank ye for that.

I can take your meaning well enough. There are enough abandoned shacks around to build a fine mansion from their leftovers.

Crane is very naval.

[doctor_j_crane]

You live in this den of iniquity?

naval like a navel ahyuck

[nakesnakecobracobra]

For some time now, in fact. But I assure you that my home is a safe haven in this "iniquitous den".

So true. ;-;

[doctor_j_crane]

So then I take it that you see the immorality around you. Do you seek to stop it?

[nakesnakecobracobra]

So long as I'm left in peace I take no issue with these people. Besides, how would I stop them? Their lives are their own.

[doctor_j_crane]

I must inform you, that each of us has the ability and the duty to change what lives that we can. You grant yourself the power to do so.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I fear you overestimate me. [ And when she rules over the seas, yours will be the first skull mounted on her new ship. ]

[doctor_j_crane]

I have never been one to underestimate the skills of the fairer sex. You are just as capable as I.

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Considering I hardly know you, that doesn't mean much to me.

[Private] late because i suck

[darknessb4me]

What little there were have been corrected, my lady.

[Some dudes got thrown over the side.]

[Private]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

I'm glad to hear it. Once these expansions are done we should have plenty of room for your next conquest.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

What direction are you thinking?

Re: [Private]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

There are some interesting religious totems to be found in South America, along with copious amounts of gold and other treasures. I'm sure I could find a better use for them than laying about in some dead ruler's tomb for the rest of eternity.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

I have no doubt. But - I never do.

We can make landfall in Maracaibo by April if the winds are with us. Any direction in particular?

[Private]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

South and east, towards Brazil. There is a lake, part of the Amazon River, towards the north. According to these texts, the trail should start there. You're looking for the House of the Night.

[Private]

[darknessb4me]

Wouldn't be a map, would there?

[Private]

[nakesnakecobracobra]

Only rumors, stories, and the like. It's told to be a religious place. If you ask for directions, be sure to show the utmost reverence.
