First Tide Turning ☠ [action + marauding + voice]

[lists_to_port]

Seems there's types about who'd make the village safe. Police; a village watch. They'll want prisons, next. A gallows.

Rather funny, that, considering the nature of the place, eh?

There's rogues about. Mind that; and if you can't, lock your doors.

Just because these two haven't been able to thread non-drunk in awhile!

[If there was one thing Vash hated about moving to house five was that he was a much farther walk from the bakery now. With an apple for a snack in hand he heads for town, making way to the closest bridge.

And is that Jack? What's he doing prancing around like that? He takes a bite of his apple and comes closer.] Hey, Jack! What are you trying to do? Wear a hole through the bridge?

Vash-lad! [The pirate immediately brightens when he sees Vash. There's nothing better when faced with a hard decision than to have that process of choosing interrupted by a friend who will help you procrastinate on making said decision.]

Oh, nothing, nothing. [He stomps one boot hard on the surface of the bridge.] The old marauding bridge is just as secure as ever, you'll be glad to know. No holes. Where are you off to?

[goldenglasses]

Marauding bridge? But I was headed to the bakery, and it's not to steal pies.

[lists_to_port]

Vash! [Quite the shocked tone.] What on earth ELSE will you be doing with them? Or is it muffins? You're off to steal muffins?

[goldenglasses]

I'm not going to steal anything! I'm just going to get some free donuts! Because they're free!

[lists_to_port]

Mmmmmmmm....donuts. I'd like donuts. I haven't had them since that one time you and I shut down Good Spirits...

[goldenglasses]

Well, you can come with me if you promise not to make a mess of the bakery.

[lists_to_port]

Perhaps----aye, alright! But I can't be long. I've got business here, you see.

[And with a look of relief on his face, Jack leaves the bridge. Donuts. Donuts are good procrastination.]

[goldenglasses]

Alright then, let's go to the bakery. And no stealing. [Vash takes a bite of his apple and heads towards the bakery!]

[lists_to_port]

No stealing whatsoever! Just taking! Taking without express permission! [With hands thrust into his pockets, Jack strides along cheerily beside him.] And big decisions to be made later!

[goldenglasses]

Fine, taking without express permission, but no messes.

[Although you got Vash thinking as he eats more of his apple.] And you have some big decisions to think over?

[lists_to_port]

It's a conundrum and no mistake. I've got to decide, Vash-lad, whether indeed to take up the marauding once more. Smoker's threatened to take my boat, you see.

[goldenglasses]

Yeah, I heard.

You know, considering how everything here is free, is it worth possibly losing your boat?

[lists_to_port]

.............What?!

[goldenglasses]

Well, just I mean, if you're not gaining anything from the stealing it seems losing your boat is a high risk for that to me.

[lists_to_port]

Nah, you don't understand. It's all well and good if I decide not to maraud; if Smoker chooses to punish me for something I haven't done in months? All wagers are null, Vash. The Joanna will be safe enough from the likes of him. He's no Hector Barbossa.
