Andrew Burnwell
Andrew waited in the back of the hold while his crew filed inside. They had to maneuver around the various crates and barrels that held their corgo, but there was still plenty of room for the men. He waited until everyone had settled down before speaking. "We'll be leaving in one hour," he addressed the crew. "I have decided to take up a job for us that is both risky, but if we're able to accomplish it, the rewards will be great."
"And just what sort of job is it?" asked one man in the front.
Andrew glanced over to Corval, a middle-aged, pot bellied man that has served many years on his ship. The man had a habit of stirring up arguments, but he was relatively harmless. "That, is why I've gathered you here," the captain said. "Many of you have already witnessed the woman who left the ship. She will be sailing with us for this job. While I know most you sorry lot can't help yourselves, I expect no harm, of any kind, to befall her. Without her, we might not be able to track down our quarry."

Everyone watched their captain eagerly as he spoke, heads bobbing when he explained the appearance of the young woman. Towards the end of his talk some of the men started to mutter to each other, considering the information she received. A young man, just at the ripe age of eighteen, spoke up. "What's a lass like her got to offer?" he questioned with curiosity. "I can think of one thing," another jested, receiving some chuckles. "Shut it you rascals." Henry's tone was brusque. It was odd that a female so young and alone was going to help them with a job, but the older man knew to trust the captain's instincts, and that Burnwell didn't make oversights.

It was safe to say that never in a million years was anybody expecting that. When Henry heard the laughter he wasn't surprised. He had been around far longer than Burnwell at the age of 55, so he had heard about everything there was to know about the legend. But that's all it was. A drunken tale, a surreal fantasy. He never doubted his faith in his captain, but this was slightly testing it. "It's just a wild goose chase! There are plenty of real ships to be plundered." Another one spoke out. Even the ones that were silent had looks of hesitation. "How positive are ya?" Henry questioned.

The questions and the laughter was warranted. Had he not had his own reasons for hunting the Fountain down, he'd be brushing it off as a mere fairy tale as well. So far, this woman was the only one that seemed to have found something different in the stories and maps. "About as positive as I am about anything I do," Andrew replied to Henry with a small grin, which wasn't exactly an assuring answer. To his crew, he always played the role of the captain with no doubts or worries when a job or journey was called for. Henry, however, was the only one privy to any of the real plotting and planning that goes on, an helps him work out all the issues and worries he might have.
"This journey, if proven successful, will be the biggest haul of our lives," he continued. "We'll have the location and access to the one thing everyone has been searching for: immortality. Think of the opportunities that would present themselves, the richest we could acquire. We'd be the most influential ship on the Seven Seas, and no one would be able to stop us save Calypso herself."

sry this is vry bad i at work ._. )
Henry recognized that look on his mate's face. He shook his head smiling. He knew his captain did what his heart was set on, so he would do his best to support him. After all, that's what he promised Andrew's father. "The benefits outweigh the losses/ We could have and do anything we want." He added, looking over the men. From the looks on their faces they were starting to consider it. "Well captain. I trust you. I'd follow you into a storm." This came from a younger lad in the crew, who was just seventeen. The people around him started to nod, and the others followed. "Yeah, this'll be a hell of a quest!" Someone pumped their arm into the air as they exclaimed.

Andrew nodded in the direction of the youngest member of the crew, just a lad of seventeen who was dead set on living a life of freedom and adventure. He noticed that most of the voices that echoed their support were on the younger side. There were a few of the older faces, those who were a part of his father's crew before his death, that didn't looked convinced. However, they didn't voice any objections. If his hunch was correct, they'd wish to speak to him privately later on, and he would have to be sure to come up with a hell of a reason to get them on board with the idea.
"Good, with that settled, there's a lot to get done in the next hour, and I expect everything to be ready before then. So get to it, you rotten lot!" The insult was called out in jest, and there was a chorus of "Aye, aye!" filled the room. He stood where he was while he waited for the crew to leave the hold.

Hi. ^^ I hope youre doing good, sorry lifes been weird lately. )
Henry stayed towards the back of the herd and made sure that none lingered. Once close enough to the he approached Andrew. He watched the stragglers scurry to the deck. "Ye always been bold..." The older man smiled. Although that didn't last long as his expression morphed into one of grim. "This just be mad." He crossed his arms over his broad chest. "Who's this lady? And why do ye trust her?"
(this is bad post but i figured better to keep moving forward heh )
