*Alright the moment you have been waiting for Sand and Tides!!!

The island of cinnibar, a bustling port city. the docks are full of people and pokemon. there is trading of good going on, ships unloading there cargo, children running about the cobble stone streets. In port there are 4 gallons, the reaver, the cutter, the ship, and the wraith. A young man with vivid blue hair is being thrown of a ship for being a stowaway. captain/ DONT EVER STEP FOOT ON MY BLOODY SHIP AGAIN YOU LITTLE BLUE HIRED MAGGOT!!

A red hair lady is walking gracefully through out the streets with a helm under her arms. she doesnt seem to be paying attention to the hussle and bussle of daily life.

on the street corner near the ships a juggler is entertaining the local youths and fencing money from unsuspecting bystanders as the children laugh and point to him as he runs a game that involves picking the shell that a stone is under

in a tavern we find a regal looking man having a drink and making conversation about nothing in particular with a few of the other costumers.

on the edge of the port there is a figure looking at the events as they transpire. a grin crosses his face.

((In response to the lady playing the shell game))

"Come one, come all! Put yer money where yer mouth is! Every game's a chance to win, double your luck, double your coin!"

A tan, short-haired blonde woman called out to the passersby in earnest, like many of the other businessmen in the area hocking their wares. Although her business was much less legitimate. Before her lay three seashells and the oldest trick in the book: You bets your money, you makes your choice... and you probably loses. So far she hadn't made much, some coin here, some coin there. Although she did draw in a decent amount of patronage with her adorable little Pokemon, panting in the tropical heat in his thick fur coat. A tiny Eevee clad in a leather harness drew in the kids who loved to pet and stroke his fur, and the kids drew in the adults. And the adults gave up the cash. All she needed was an excuse to speak to them and they were hooked. Most didn't stay for only a game or two, but some suckers lasted all morning. They obviously hadn't heard of her before. Victoria Reaver wasn't a welcome name in quite a few ports along the coast for doing exactly as she did now. Wasn't her fault. They were giving their money away. It's not like she reached into their pockets and took it. Who could blame her if they were to dumb to realize they were playing a rigged game?
"Hey, you there! The gorgeous looking lass! Feelin' lucky"? And in Vicky reeled her, the woman on the street, she quickly shuffled the stone under the cups, making an attempt to make it as hard to guess as possible.
"I pick the one on the right," she states plainly. Heh, wrong one. Vicky moves to pick up the shell on her right and...
Oh. She did mean her right. The rock is underneath the shell.
"Winner winner winner!" Vicky calls out enthusiastically, clapping with fervor. She hands over now two coins to the lass, letting her leave a little richer and happier than she appeared.
"Come back if you feel like getting a little richer, 'kay?" she winks.

It was then that her calls caught the eye of some sort of knight. Greeeaaaat.... The authorities were always an issue. But Vicky would play it cool. Technically, she wasn't doing anything illegal. Just immoral.
"You look like a woman who could use some extra money in her life! Care to take a try?" Vicky pitches. The rider approaches, then throws her money down. A single coin. Whoo. High roller. As the blonde woman went to shuffling the stone back under the shells and her Eevee looked up innocently at the two, the Rider leaned in close.

"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't report you to the authorities," she hissed, a wicked serpent's smile gracing her lips. How good. Not even the authorities, just some goody two-shoes busy-body.
"Because, lady..." Vicky stated with just as much hostility, not bothering to lower her voice so that others wouldn't hear her, "I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not stealing from anyone, they're handing over their money. There's nothing I've heard in the port charter that says gambling is illegal, and why should it be? Sometimes you lose, and sometimes you win. So are you a winner or a loser?" Vicky taunted, sweeping her hand out to the cups.

(Tavern) *one of the 3 gentlemen in the black robes approaches the captain* my good sir did I hear you correct in saying that you were a captain without a vessel? If that is the case maybe we can be of use to each other then. *looks at him through black glass*

Black. Rule 1 of voodoo magic, never trust a man in black robes.

"Yeeeeeeeeees, that is indeed correct! No ship, tiny crew. Sad, sad ordeal. Are you saying you've got a spare ship under those robes then? Sounds like something I can get behind, yes."

"A ship for a favor. Either its not a good ship, or there's more to it than just a mere favor..."

"Buuuut... my hands are tied regardless! Name your terms, I'm all ears."

*kitsune looks at him and smiles* its a very good ship. Its the fastest ship in the water at the moment. Its the two mast white ship in the harbor with the Dragonair running along the side and their heads on the bow. As to the favor I need something delivered to a smith friend of mine on the mainland.

And here we go.

"I see. May I inquire as to the nature of this item? Is it some metals or ores? Prize sword?"

It is metal captain. You need not fear it. It is already stowed in the hull of the ship. If you agree then the ship is yours to own.
