"Have you figured out how to cure hangovers yet?" Flavinia quips at Xie, ever requesting such a thing whenever they were at port...because, hangovers weren't fun.

Rickety Squibs: Shore Leave (7 Days)
Roderick and Meri join Rickety and the trio are soon debating repairs and squib options. Roderick and Rickety seems to be on really good terms, I mean Rod was instrumental in saving Rickety's from disaster, that always helps. Meri adds much to the conversation and once Rod is finished with the talk of what squibbing and more is to be done he leave Meri to haggle over the price of the plunder and loot you have collected.
Xie heads down to the beach to do some fishing and finds a few locals playing nine pins nearby. Maybe its the heat, the distraction of the men playing, or just the location but Xie manages to catch nothing but some rays, getting a nice tan, but no fish. [Survival 12 Fail]
The day passes, you watch from the windows or the beach as The Thresher is brought in from the bay and put up into dry dock. It could take a week or more to get her ship shape the way you want her so you settle in for some shore leave.

While some of the others focus their talents upon impressing the crowd, Seroneth takes it upon herself in her role of first mate to recruit more sailors. Setting out the ship's book which contained all of the names and signatures (or marks for those who were illiterate), the elven woman waited until Flavinia had played her part and then began to invite the crowd to sign on to their venture.

After discussing the deal with Rickety, Rod joins the crowd and gets himself a drink. Then he pays someone a drink and chats with her.

Xie approaches the group of locals playing nine pin and looks on with a smile on his face as they play, learning and trying to understand how the game is played.

Rod, after trying to find out rumors, sits down with his officers. "We need a new name for the ship. My first idea was to use the name of our new found ship's head and call it Besmara's Bones. But if you got a good idea, please tell us. Maybe we can do better."

"I vote for sexy" Flavinia declares as if there would be no doubt about that part "Trying to outdo one another in being scary or honoring Besmara is just so unoriginal."
"Fun sexy, though, like The Wicked Wench. Not the sort of thing that could be spawned by the shallow imaginations of adolescent boys after their first chug of real rum."

"Meaning no slight to the Black Lady, for she deserves her due," Seroneth begins, "I would wager there is more than one ship similarly named. I second something like Flavinia's suggestion. I have a couple of suggestions myself such as The Sea Nymph or Selkie’s Conceit."
