Forming of the Red Scarf (crowhunter & xtrashy)

[crowhunter]

It was early in the morning when Jensen awoke, sitting up in an instant, gritting his teeth and growling loudly, his eyes darting around the room, he finally noticed he was in his bedroom, alone, he relaxed, falling back into his bed. Jensen placed his hand on his forehead, letting out a light sigh as he whispered to himself, "It was just a dream, I wont let it... I wont let him, take over" He slowly sat up, placing his legs over the side of the bed, letting his feet drop to the floor as he got up. He held is arms out, stretching, performing several types of stretches before finally pushing himself off of the bed, making his way to the closet, opening the doors, throwing some clothes onto his bed before he decided to get dressed in a brown coat with black bands around the arms, he also has black gloves and a white band around his waist that help carry his two katanas. He wears a white shirt underneath his brown trench-coat, he wears black jeans and black boots too. He also wears a red scarf around his neck that goes down into his coat. He looked in the mirror and sorted out his hair before placing his Katanas under the white band he uses to carry them. He walked to the door, grabbing his bag filled with the stuff he owns before he left, ready to put this house behind him.

The front door to his house burst open with Jensen stepping out onto the porch, a slight smile on the giant's face as he looked into the sky. Jensen the closed the door behind him, a strong breeze flowing by, moving his long black hair and his red scarf. He slowly closed his bright purple eyes and took a breath of the cool air in, feeling the thrill of a new day course through his blood. Jensen's eyes slowly opened again, his eyes almost glittering in the sun, "Ah, this is going to be a fun day, I can smell it in the air. Something amazing is going to happen..." He spoke quietly to himself, his low voice sounding as he walked forward, the wood making a clunk underneath his boots. Slowly making his way to the shore, where his small boat awaited to take him away from this wretched place, the place his beloved family was slaughtered.

He stepped forward onto the dirt, making his way into the village, leaving a trail of footprints from his huge boots. Jensen kept his head down as he walked past the several homes between his and the market, hearing the villagers talk as he passed by. Every now and then he would look up to change direction or to look over at the Villagers, smiling and waving as he passed by the few pirates he knew from when he was growing up. As he made his way to the shore he smiled, seeing his ship, he ran up to his small ship, passing by his sign that was advertising a crew position for the start of the Red Scarf Pirates. He relaxed in a chair on the deck, watching the people go past as he slowly closed his eyes for a few moments.

          A single luna moth was making it's way from the docks, away from a ship it had just seemed to flutter out of.  It flew inland before landing down by the shore, nestling its self down next to some rocks that were there.  Then the moth began to increase in size, morphing and changing shape as it steadily grew.  Losing it's insect like appearance and then taking on the appearance of a young girl.  Curly brown hair reaching down to her waist, a yellow t-shirt and grey shorts adorning her body, while she stood up in her black flip flops.  Stretching herself out as she stood just above the rocks now.  She looked around, wondering what she would be doing here.  Having heard of the island, she quickly managed to catch a ride here, looking out over the water she gave a sigh.  She began to make her way across the shore, wondering what she would find first in this new place.  Eventually, with enough walking, she could easily make out the buildings and other ships she had flown away from at first in order to maintain her guise.  


          After awhile she came upon a sign, it was sort of just there in the open, just a bit away from where most of the main commotion of the island seemed to be, she read it.  A position to be a part of a crew?  The idea of being on a ship with others had never really crossed her mind, getting on a boat was usually just a means to an end, though something was different this time around.  Call it luck, or more likely, a high sense of boredom, she decided to head in the direction of a small ship with a rather large looking man in it, figuring it to be what the sign was leading her to.  She came up to the ship, the man there seemed asleep?  Perhaps it was better to just leave, but she walked all the way over here, might as well say something.  "Hey, hey you.  You awake?"  She asked, tentatively touching the boat with her foot to move it slightly.

Jensen's hand moved to his blades, holding onto them as he slowly sat up, the wind almost blowing his hair out of position. His eyes very slowly opened as they fell upon the young girl, "... Yes, yeah, I am awake..." He removed his unique looking katanas from his band and placed them on the deck before he slowly stood, towering over her with a serious look, "This market is a dangerous place, and younglings shouldn't roam around." In an instant the look faded and turned into a smile, he held out his hand to her in a hand-shaking gesture, "Haha, sorry about that. Hey there, my name is Jensen, Alcatraz P. Jensen, and what are you doing here?" He asked her with a bright smile, his other hand at the back of his head, rubbing the back lightly, he got on one knee to be at her level as he spoke with her. Above him, on the sail was the Jensen's jolly roger, a Skull and cross bones with a red scarf covering the whole bottom half of the skull, signalling The Red Scarf Pirates. The ship appeared to be made from Oak with a mast and a small cabin.

          She didn't know what to make of this guy at first, seemed a bit lazy to her, and as he started going on about danger she just began to zone out.  That is until she saw his hand extend forward, she took it in her own and shook.  "I'm Kayla, and I saw your sign, it said there was a position open?"  She asked, referencing back to the sign she saw, wondering if it even was for this guy.  Though the look of the flag seemed to coincide with the name of the crew she saw written on the sign.  Red Scarf.  "Anyway, I wanted to know if I could apply for the position."  She said, giving it a shot, which was a long one.  She wasn't very intimidating, or big, or strong.  What were her good qualities again?  Regardless, she was eager to go to a task at hand, whatever it was, and she had set her eyes on becoming part of this crew, and she figured there were far worse ways to be spending the day, even if this guy just turned her away.  Which she also wouldn't find that surprising.  Heck she didn't even have her usual sort of weapon on her.  Had to ditch her spear when she stowed away, hard to carry those sorts of things as a bug.

Jensen laughed lightly, "Well then, good news, welcome to the crew of the Red Scarf Pirates. I was the only member, and you're accepted. It is a pleasure to meet you Kayla." He stood up after shaking her hand and pointed to the cabin, "you can take there, I'll sleep on the deck until we get a bigger ship." He pulled another chair from the side and set it out for her. He sat back in his chair, picking his katanas up and resting them against his leg, "For me, this is my first time out in years, and first time being a pirate, hope that's alright for you." He placed his hands in his pockets as he continued to smile, "I honestly thought I'd never get to be captain of my own crew." He said, letting out a light laugh before returning to his serious look with a faint smile. "Take a seat and tell me, how you fight and what your position would be on this new crew." He gestured to the seat he pulled out for her earlier, "Oh, your ambitions and how you managed to end up on this mess of an island in the first place too."

[Slueshy]

          "Well, alright then."  She said as she went and sat on the chair he pulled aside for her.  This was already turning out to be a fun day.  Joining a crew was something new, pirating seemed like it would be fun.  She wondered what she would be able to do around here anyway.  But just as she stopped to ponder, he was asking her things.  "Well, I don't know how well I'd say I was at fighting.  I used to have a spear, and I seemed to be pretty adapt at poking things with it, though I had to abandon that to get here.  As to what position i'd be.  Well, that's hard one to figure.  I mean, I'm not really trained to do anything, I don't know the first thing about navigation.  The only thing I've spent any length of time doing is cleaning, other than that I guess I'm just pretty sneaky in general."  She went on, hardly pausing to breathe while she went about answering him.  "Oh and, I got here pretty much the same way I get anywhere, by hiding out on a ship and hitching a ride."  She stated, stowaway was pretty much the only thing she had accomplished more than once, so it might as well have been something to note for herself.  There was the whole, moth thing, but it wasn't super relevant, she had never really used it to fight anyone.

"Hmm..." Jensen thought to himself about her, what position she could take on the crew, "Well, how good are you at stealing? Maybe you could be the crew's Assassin, work on taking what we we need from other Pirates and dealing with any heavy trouble with a quick and easy blow?" He spoke while thinking about it, "I myself am both a swordsman and a martial artist, as for your spear troubles, we can get a new one for you at our next stop if you want, it'll be my pleasure." He smiled brightly as he looked at her, "Being a navigator or a cook or anything like that isn't the most important part of the crew." He let out a faint laugh while nodding a little as he spoke those words, "Any position is available to you really, well, except for captain position, that is mine, and I am willing to fight for that." He said with a hearty laugh. His tone returned serious for a moment, "But yeah, Kayla, if there is anything else you want to talk about or do before we leave, do so. We're going to leave port later on today and make our way to another place, going to see just how many people we can get to join this crew, we're also going to get a bigger ship, that is the first thing on the agenda."

[Slueshy]

          "How good am I at stealing."  She said, thinking to herself for a brief moment.  "Well, I'm good enough to get by at least?  I mean I managed to get here fairly undetected.  Though, as to taking out people, big people.  I'm not sure how well I could do that, cause I'm not really very experienced with any type of fighting."  She said.  It's not that she couldn't fight, it's just she wasn't exactly sure how she could fight, turning into a moth didn't exactly give her a lot of advantages.  Well, there was her other form, perhaps that would be more useful?  "Oh, and thanks.  I've been feeling a bit bored without my spear, and well, as long as I don't have to be super important, that's all right with me."  She stated, there wasn't really anything else she did want to talk about.  If there were going to be heading off somewhere else soon, she could live with that, it would be nice to be able to make the trip to somewhere new, while not having to hide.  Though it was a bit disheartening that she wouldn't be able to go out and explore more of this island, it seemed like a pleasurable enough place, but the thought of heading out somewhere new again was all she needed.  "Nah, that's fine by me."  She finished.
