A young man enters, dressed in clothes that can only be called piratical. He's got the sword at his waist, a tricorne hat, the works -- and a rather amused sort of smirk, but he gives a lazy sort of bow.

"William Turner, captain of The Empress, at your service. Do I want to know what's happened to my ship?"

Typist: So, this is William

Something akin to what happened to mine when I arrived, I'd imagine. If you'd like, I can show you to the harbor I found her in. Yours may be there as well.

[dreadpiratejr]

I hope so. The ex-captain wouldn't be very pleased to hear I've lost our ship. *and there's another bow* Your name, miss?

[waywardmikala]

I shouldn't think so. I know my father would be quite cross if he found out I'd misplaced Gretchen, and she's been mine as long as she's been seaworthy. *blinks a bit at the bow* Noah sia Havita. It's a pleasure, Captain.

The Empress was my mother's when I was younger, but now it's mine. *and there's a charming sort of smile* Pleased to meet you, miss.

Kostya stops and stares at his entrance, obviously impressed. "Your ship?" he says, stupidly.

[dreadpiratejr]

Will just grins, he enjoys making an entrance. "Yes. The Empress. I've heard it might be in the harbour, but haven't checked."

[oilwithwater]

"There's a harbour?" Kostya's still staring, eyes a bit wide. "Why do you have a ship?"

[dreadpiratejr]

"It comes in handy for my line of work, y' might say."

He looks like he's about to tackle Will's legs, like he did with Jackie, but then he suddenly skids to a halt and salutes, pulling up the bandana that's falling into his eyes. "Arrrr. Good sailin', Captain Turner?"

[dreadpiratejr]

He grins down at Jack. "Well, it was good enough 'til I misplaced my ship. Want to help me find it, lad?"

[halfpintofrum]

"Yessir," Jack beams. "'m good at findin' ships, 'cause daddy taught me how to remember where you tied yours up, an' I also know that if you can't find your own ship, you commandeer someone else's ship, 'cause that's what pirates do."

[dreadpiratejr]

"Commandeering is definitely an option 't this point, since I haven't seen hide nor hair of the Empress." He crouches down and lowers his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "No East India men here, I hope?"
