"Ohh, I see..." Fox had forgotten that they needed someone to join them. Taking a moment to think, he finally answered, "No. Is there anyone you would like to bring along?"

"No, not really." The pale gray and white tabby shrugged, and replied once more. "How about we just ask whoever's willing?"

[happysparrow]

Fox nodded, smiling brightly, "I think that's a good idea!" he chimed, already trotting towards the opening that led outside. He had lots of energy, and was eager to burn it off.

"Just a boatswain? No, no, no . . . this can't be true. Someone as intelligent as you, my dear? Why, this is ludicrous. Swashbuckler was right. Your skills should not be put to boatswain uses," the anonymous tom continued, shaking his head with a sigh escaping his maw briefly. "Let me fill you in, love. I am a member of the rogue group on the main island. Your beloved Arcadia? She abandoned us. Swashbuckler was the true hero of the Black Pearl. He leads the Dark Forest above, but you -- he has taken an interest in you."
"Swashbuckler wants us both to team up, put our skills to good use, and overtake the Tribe of the Black Pearl. He wants you to be the new leader of the tribe alongside me, but the tribe would never accept you without proving your loyalty, yes?" he explained the situation to Turtle, glancing at his paw to flex his claws with a wicked grin lighting his maw.
"If you want true power, you will kill one of your own and bring them to the barrier before sunrise. Oh, and, by the way, it would be in your favor to blame it on that mousebrain you call a captain. Choose wisely." The brown tom did not wait for a response or reaction, dipping his head respectfully before disappearing into the brush once more.

Tempest
"There were no visible paw prints of any kind. The scent of the killer, whatever or whoever it may be, was overpowered by the stench of the rotting rat. I may, of course, be overreacting, but I would rather have all of us safe, than be sorry for not taking the proper precautions later. These restrictions will only last a few days, or at least until we ensure the safety of the tribe. I will take a patrol out tomorrow to build up the barrier. The barrier, as of right now, will hold, but it never hurt to reinforce it." Tempest continued upon hearing some of the speech down below. It was true the barrier was not of the best shape, but it was strong enough to keep a large group out without someone in the tribe catching wind of it. A single rogue, however, would be able to push their way through unnoticed, and perhaps wipe the sand with their paw to disguise their location.

Wave That Creeps Up Shore

Wave skids out of the den, trying to stay calm. She takes a shaky breath. The vision like memory was the day her family died. She takes a couple of painfilled steps, her paws in pins and needles. Wave's thoughts rush around her head, the screaming of her parents drowning out any outside noise. She shakes her head violently, shoving them to the back of her thoughts.

Gaze nodded, then turned to wave "You seem shaken up, dear. Get something to eat and then lay down for the night, if you still are waking in a cold sweat tommorow, I'll take over for you." He smiled, tail twitching as he walked past to jump up next to Tempest. "I'm going to go out on a quick hunt, do you wanna come with me? Take your mind off some stress?" He asked, purring.

Her face heated up with the flattery from the strange Tom, just to have the reality of his visit hit her like a boar charging into her side. She couldn't kill any cat! And how would she ever blame it on the captain? She got up to her paws, and began to pace around the lake "Our scents are similar.. all I'd have to do is take a dip in the ocean to smell just like him. And..... And..... Moon." She paused, taking a breath in "The little kit who shouldn't be alive." Turtle hissed, almost excited for the plot to be taken into action. She started to dash through the jungle, with agile leaps and bounds. Very quickly, she was upon the camp again.

Sun noticed Fox and Rain speaking, the small apprentice very excited. He smiled and hopped down from the deck, trotting over to them. "Wh.. what are you doing?" He asked, smiling.

She looks over at Gaze "Thanks Gaze." She sighs shakily and pads back into her nest, curling up. Wave clamped her eyes shut, trying to get some sleep.

Eye of the Eerie Tempest
The tom turned to peer at Gaze, eyes revealing the relief he felt at the request. "You know, that sounds pretty great right about now. We should stick near the camp though, just in case." he huffed, feeling the stress melt from his limbs. He was beginning to think his lieutenant knew how he was feeling all too well. Tempest shouldered his second-in-command playfully, jumping down from the crow's nest to turn and peer back up at him. "Bet I can make it to the lake before you can."

Moon that Glows Through Trees
Moon was secretly listening in on the meeting the whole time, feeling like a true warrior among the rest of the tribe. She sat up tall, tiny head not noticeable in the crowd of sailors and other ranks. Once the meeting came to an end, she sneakily made her way back towards the nursery. "Night! You won't believe what the meeting was about. They found this rat. The rat might have been killed by a -- wait for it -- rogue. We all have to stay in camp for the night. Imagine if I was the one to capture the rogue? I know I can't now, but when I'm older no rogues are ever gonna come on our territory. They will see me, poised on top of the ship, standing tall and proud, and they'll be sent runnin'! Oh, by the way, are you hungry? I'll go fetch some Freshkill for us both."

"We're going on a walk, want to come?" The pale gray and white tabby she-cat offered to Sun.

"Aha! That's you think!" He purred in amusement, then jumped down from the crow's nest and sliding in the sand before getting his grip and dashing out of camp. Before he officially left the camp, he glanced back at Tempest, grinning like an idiot.

Turtle stepped into camp, her eyes narrowed and pupils in slots. "By sunrise." She muttered to herself, before noticing moon. A forced smile crawled along her muzzle, and she called the kit over with a flick of her tail.

"Uh.. sure!" He purred a bit, his green eyes shining in the setting sun's orange rays.
