Ali: No, I refuse to let them get away with this! We need to get rid of this Kraken NOW! We have friends to save! Raye?! You ready with those bombs?

Raye: *calls up from the gun deck* I am but now is not the opportune moment. Wait!
(I'm gong to continue the post down in the Gun Deck.)

*back up on deck*
Ali: *stares, her arm covered in the blood of the kracken from when she'd cut off a tentacle* She still held one of the smaller bombs and blew out the match she held before it burned her fingers.* Wow...she turns and heads down to the gun deck again*

Jack: *watches as the Kraken sinks below the surface, amazed* Is there any more rum? *he says to no one in particular, but hoping for an answer, hopefully an affirmative.*

~*~ Raye came back on the Whisperer and unloaded the stuff she'd collected. After her little outburst directed at Palifico, Raye searched the ship, fixing anything she knew how to fix, even some things that were there before the Kraken attacked. She didn't speak the entire time, too absorbed by her job to notice much else. Every once in a while, her hand strayed to her new spyglass.

Palifico had followed Raye to the deck. He wanted to know why she hated him. He never did anything wrong. "Miss Arachne!" he cried, "Please talk to me."

Raye, startled out of her reverie, whirled around quickly, a dagger in hand. Then she relaxed when she saw Palifico. "Oh, it's you," she said, her voice free of anything other than a careful neutrality. "Don't scare me like that," she said as she went back her meticulous repairs.

Palifico nods his head, "I'm sorry for scaring you. But I just have to know. Why do y0u hate me so?"

Raye looked at him. "I don't hate you," she said slowly. "I just don't trust you. Jimmeylegs's reaction to you wasn't a promising one." Raye turned back to her work as she continued. "And then you tell us that you're AnaMaria's sister, yet if you're related to her and Calliope, why did they send you back? Wouldn't they trust you more than Jimmeylegs to protect Rose?"

Ali looked up from her current job, etying the ropes holding the sails, and nodded. "Exactly my thoughts. We may trust you more after you've had a chance to prove your loyalty, but for now we shall remain on our guard. And don't ask what it'll take to prove yourself, we'll know when the time comes."

Palifico: *nods head* Aye aye. But let me explain that. Jimmy and I have had falling outs before, but he was just being his goofy self! Over a hundred years together would drive anyone to be sick of even their best friend! And about Calliope. Jimmy's always been the stronger of the two of us. No matter how much I've been training, my reflexes are dead. By the time I could figure out what to do, Rose would have either been dead, or in the hands of Jones. That's why Jimmylegs went with them. *sighs, knowing they wouldn't believe him anyway* What do you want me to do, Cap'n?

Raye answered that question. "If you see something that needs to be done, do it." Then she paused. "Unless Ali gives you more specific instructions." A thought occured to Raye, a bit late. "Umm... how much of our food and fresh water survived?"

Ali sighed. "Whatever needs to be done, although we're almost finished. You have permission to head into town for the supplies you mentioned, although i'd be more comfortable if you took someone of my crew with you. Raye?" she turned to her first mate, hoping she hadn't been absorbed by her work again already.

Palifico: *nods and turns to Raye* Will you come with me?

Raye didn't want to. It wasn't so much the company as it was the temptation. She'd already been to town, and stolen a lot of things. She didn't want to steal more things. Especially if they didn't actually need them. The risk of getting caught wasn't too great, but the stakes were high...
Raye fingered her new spyglass again. It was proof that she didn't steal everything. She could do it. "Aye."
