"To make a long story short, I got taken hostage on my own ship. I was stuck in the jail for a week or so while the new captain sailed my ship up and down the Yellow Sea. A couple days ago, the crew stopped coming down to give me food, so I was wondering what was going on, and I let myself out of the cell. And here I am," Kyoji explained.

"Hmmm...nice of them. So...Kyoji....hmmm...you ever hear of a ship called the End Run?"

Hikiro sniffed the air. "hmm the stench of death" His hand slowly moved to his Ninja-To. There was a thick fog rolling in (OOC: feel free to smack me around a bit if I'm deviating from the story). He raced below deck "Captain the smell of death is on the air. I suggest we ready ourselves" his gaze then turns to the large framed man "and who in the seven hells is this?"

ooc: there's seven hells? I learn something new everyday. ^.^ Oh, and we're above deck dear.

Li sensed something vaguely wrong with the way the water flowed around their ship, how the air moved around the sails, how his heart sluggishly pumped within his chest. He swiftly moved up to the deck and looked out at the advancing fog. His trained eye picked out a pair of white sails in the fog bank that then vanished.
He swiftly walked over to Lucretia and tapped her on the shoulder. "Dearie I believe that we might have a problem waiting for us in the fog ahead."

(9 Hells.)

Kane got up and crutched over to Lucretia. He grabbed a spoke of the wheel, and turned it far to the (Lucretia's) right. As the ship began to take a new course, he told Lucretia: "Bad things hide in fog banks. Trust me."

She grabbed her spygalss from the inside of her coat and handed it to Li. "Look to see what's on their flag. Kane, go to the crows nest, now!!! Everyone to the cannons below deck, be ready to fire. Li, if this ship wishes us harm, be ready to command below deck. Everyone, be ready to jump ship!"

"Fog's already around the nest, wouldn't be able to see anything," Kane said as he quickly limped to the front of the ship. "Wait...does this make you and I the anti-boarding party?"

"Dearie it's too late to switch flags. They're hiding in the fog. My guess is that they've been shadowing us over the horizon for some time now." He said pointing to the fog. "Last night they brought out the scullers and got ahead of us while we were mostly asleep." He then looked down the spyglass. "Worse news luv, it's a middle kingdom galleon. About thirty-two guns and big enough to house a crew over ten times our size. The flag isn't flown but I can see that at the base it's twinned with the jolly roger dearie. We're quite frankly done for luv. That is unless...." He trailed off in thought and began pacing.

With the chopsticks halfway to his mouth Sou-Rita drops them and stares straight ahead. He gets quickly as if in a trance.
"Sir!" He says "I found a receptor aboard the incoming vessel"
"well give me that plate!"
"Don't spill the blood sir, or you will lose the psyonic lock."
"I have been using this instement since before you were spawned, sailor, shut up.......on closer inspection I see yo uare mistaken, this being is only chi-sensitive, not psyonic. It cannot talk back to us. i am going to have to use him as a speaker........Doomed vessel, beware. you have floated into the midst of our uneartlhy flagship, the Deathrattle!. know living ship has ever left our sight still crewed by the living. Yo uwill all perish, prepare to be boarded!"
"How do you discone-"
Sou-Rita then collapses intto a coughing fit adn says
" That wasn't a delusion was it?"
