"I can't make you look like more of an idiot, that's low." Sharrkan laughs and continues to watch him.George lies down in the sand after the last failed attempt. "Join me, Sharky."
(Playin a game with my mate so I'll be a bit with each reply)

"Naaah, I mean join my crew.""I can't make you look like more of an idiot, that's low." Sharrkan laughs and continues to watch him.
He Nearly chokes on his drink and looks at him surprised, "Your Crew? w-where are you going? you decided already? what is our heading?""Naaah, I mean join my crew."
"I'm going that way." He points toward the ocean and then looks back at him with a serious face.He Nearly chokes on his drink and looks at him surprised, "Your Crew? w-where are you going? you decided already? what is our heading?"
Sharrkan stares out to sea, hoping to see something like an island in the distance, but there was just ocean. "J-just us two?""I'm going that way." He points toward the ocean and then looks back at him with a serious face.
*changing by the hut below* lollie, what you gone all goo goo eyed about? you haven't stopped smiling all day..*she laughs lightly as she adjusts her surf shorts and short sleeve hoodie before picking up her bitten board*And MJ arrives... In the nick of time!
---------------
The day had been as uneventful as most, but in her mood... She didn't mind. She smiled through everything.. Every stupid question and every simple saving of a life, she enjoyed it all. Ah the bliss. She couldn't help but watch the two men out the corner of her eye... She couldn't join them though... Duty called.
She cannot help but chuckle before she addresses the young girl.*changing by the hut below* lollie, what you gone all goo goo eyed about? you haven't stopped smiling all day..*she laughs lightly as she adjusts her surf shorts and short sleeve hoodie before picking up her bitten board*
*Vera waits a few moments as she thinks about the words said...then bursts out in laughter* what? leaving? what's brought this on? you've never mentioned leaving before...She cannot help but chuckle before she addresses the young girl.
"I guess it's just... Things are looking up. You know, everyday we live the same... We are born for our jobs and we live in our jobs... Lately, I feel like maybe there's more to it ya know? Maybe, there's a world out there... And maybe I'm meant to experience it."
She looks into space, the Everpresent smile still etched upon her face. Her gaze drifts and her mind ponders a billion thoughts. Yet she can never imagine what lies beyond the blue... She could never picture the multiple universes, what they LoK like and what they contain. It could be endless... And she was really expected to experience just this village? She knew it couldn't be true and her smile grew at the realisation of her freedom. Unlimited and undecilherable freedom. An infinite world of infinite wonders, just a footstep away.
Still staring into space, she responds.*Vera waits a few moments as she thinks about the words said...then bursts out in laughter* what? leaving? what's brought this on? you've never mentioned leaving before...
"I haven't got a plan, I just know that that is the only thing for me right now."Sharrkan stares out to sea, hoping to see something like an island in the distance, but there was just ocean. "J-just us two?"
"Well I'd be happy to join you." Sharrkan smiles, he then stands up, "But you're gonna need money, a bigger crew, a boat, food, wine, weapons, women and wine; especially wine.""I haven't got a plan, I just know that that is the only thing for me right now."
"Well, we can steal all of that can't we? Not woman though, can't steal people." George was adamant about this."Well I'd be happy to join you." Sharrkan smiles, he then stands up, "But you're gonna need money, a bigger crew, a boat, food, wine, weapons, women and wine; especially wine."
..that's because no one has. Of course I've thought about it, I get to swim out there every day, and every day I'm tempted to go that little bit further....but the only way you get out of here is when they send you on a wooden boat and set it alight with a flaming arrow on your funeral day...the last whisper of the outside world was from Abigail...and I haven't seen her around since *she looks up to lollie with a serious expression* don't let the higher ups hear ya...okay, ya know it's nonsense...isn't it best to keep living then to think about such seemingly impossible dreams?...*she turns to continue walking up the beach with her board*...there's nothing for us outside this village. it's our home. and it's where we stay. even if you try and leave, this place is still likely to be your final resting place.Still staring into space, she responds.
"I'd never considered it before... I've never seen anyone leave... I've never even heard anyone mention the outside world... It's... It's like we're prisoners here. Think about it... Do you really want to live this life? From now until you die? Do you truly believe that this is as good as it gets?"
She turns her sights to the girl. Her eyes are calm and string. No delusion in sight.
"Stealing? but this is a nice village, it'd be a betrayal to do it to them." Sharrkan folded his arms and closed his eyes, "No, we're gonna find another way.""Well, we can steal all of that can't we? Not woman though, can't steal people." George was adamant about this.
For the first time in her day, the smile deserted her face. Where the sun left the sky a merry blue, her face spoke a blue of total contradiction. There was no more excitement in her eyes, no more longing... Just the same bleak look she had worn for years on end prior to this day. She speaks....that's because no one has. Of course I've thought about it, I get to swim out there every day, and every day I'm tempted to go that little bit further....but the only way you get out of here is when they send you on a wooden boat and set it alight with a flaming arrow on your funeral day...the last whisper of the outside world was from Abigail...and I haven't seen her around since *she looks up to lollie with a serious expression* don't let the higher ups hear ya...okay, ya know it's nonsense...isn't it best to keep living then to think about such seemingly impossible dreams?...*she turns to continue walking up the beach with her board*...there's nothing for us outside this village. it's our home. and it's where we stay. even if you try and leave, this place is still likely to be your final resting place.
*Vera clenches her fist as she hears the cheerful tone disappear from her friends voice, then she sighs and relaxes slightly*..I'm sorry lollie, maybe there is something we can do...just gotta find it. *she doesn't turn around and continues strolling up the beach, now dragging the board behind her*For the first time in her day, the smile deserted her face. Where the sun left the sky a merry blue, her face spoke a blue of total contradiction. There was no more excitement in her eyes, no more longing... Just the same bleak look she had worn for years on end prior to this day. She speaks..
"Yeah.."
She looks at the ocean and clicks as someone wanders a bit too far out. A dolphin brings then to shore.
"I guess you're right."
"Aaaah, you're right. My first mate's already keeping me right.""Stealing? but this is a nice village, it'd be a betrayal to do it to them." Sharrkan folded his arms and closed his eyes, "No, we're gonna find another way."
