1. Boarded: Your ship has been boarded, and as captain you've been captured! Better hope the other captain gives quarter. Alternatively, it's a nice warm day for a swim. That plank was made for walking.

2. Victory: You've captured another ship! You knew those extra cannons would come in handy. And let's hope they've got lots of swag! Where's the captain? Are you the decent sort, or are you going to rub their face in it for a bit?

3. Swab the decks: You're a cabin boy! It's a good thing you don't mind doing all the dirty work, right? Anyway, the captain's calling; better see what they want.

4. Marooned: For a bit there you'd thought you were in Davy's Jones' grip, but somehow you've washed ashore with the driftwood. As you stare dazedly up from the surf, you have questions. Where are you? And who's that already on the shore?

5. Buried Treasure: Sink me! You've really found the mother lode. . . but you're not the only one. Who gets to take the treasure back to their ship? Better make sure it's you.

6. Rum: Rum, everywhere.

7. Swordfight: It's that person you can't stand! And they've taken your most valuable possession, that one of a kind thing you just can't live without! Better get that trinket back before it and your nemesis are gone over the side forever. Let's hear some swashes buckling.

8. Mutiny: The tack is full of maggots and this drinking water may as well have come from the gutter. There's one person to blame for this, and you're here to make especially sure that they pay for it. The captain does always seem to take the best treasure before everybody else.

9. Kidnapping: Don't they look rather peaceful, innocent even, sleeping so soundly there with their fancy nightclothes and pillows. Brings a tear to your eye, it does. Better take them aboard and send for a ransom.

10. Take a Gamble: Gotta spend your loot somehow, but it must have been the rum that had you bettin' everything at once! You've lost to your hornswagglin' shipmate; what did you lose, and what will they make you do now?

11. Under the Sea: You are now a Mermaid/Merman! That sailor over there sure looks appealing; let's see if you can lure them in with your charms. Don't forget that they can't breathe under water! You do seem to always forget, don't you. . .

12. The Doldrums: Can you say cabin fever? The sails haven't moved in weeks. You're about seeing if your mates can relieve this awful boredom.

13. Wild card. What do. Your choice. It doesn't even have to be here - wait why am I even explaining this to you YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS.

He probably appears to be the worst Captain cabin boy ever. He knew rumors were unfounded and it was a fool's gamble to put his hopes in it, but any hint was better than none. Hayner also knew he had time. Plenty of time.

If any of her mates returned to find the ship occupied by another group, they likely would just turn tail. The lot of 'em were cowards from what he could tell. He would have loved to see the crew in a fight with other brigadiers just to see if his inkling that the best of 'em being the Captain was true. She certainly was the only to put effort in keeping her skills honed.

He curled a finger under his chin thoughtfully. He decided he will keep with the honesty thing. He was a horrible liar most of the time, after-all. "Large ruby reminds ya o' blood in color. It came across your path a couple months back." Brown eyes were on the ceiling as he counted with his fingers.

Hayner circled her desk, his attention dragging across the surface before wandering around to the rest of the room. "I'll give ya the cons right now, Roxene. Ya wouldn't be able to keep the rank. And ya might have to share your space with another lass if ya are inclined to privacy." And then he flashed his teeth in an easy going smile. "The pros would be ya would certainly have the respect ya deserve. Whatever treasure acquired by your hands, ya can keep. And the Captain doesn't tolerate lollygaggers mucking about and blatantly drooling 'ver a member."

He paused as he turn on a heel to face her again. "Much better than waiting around to die with this bunch." Grin changed to a smirk as his smart-ass side kicked in. "So long as we don't misplace any piece of the ship, hmm?"

She thinks about all the possible jewels in her possession, trying to remember the particular one that he speaks of. Though really it's not that difficult to recall that one as it's one of few that she keeps in the safest place on the ship- with herself. There are very few that she would actually keep on herself at all times, not finding it easy to keep things on her body a secret; however, the ones that really capture her eyes she would never leave alone.

"So that's the little gem that's caught your eye, ey?"

Roxene debates on telling him a lie, saying that she's misplaced it elsewhere, possibly forever lost to Davy Jones' locker just to see his reaction to such a statement. However, there's the unknown of what he would do with that piece of information. Leave it be? Or take advantage of the fact that she's yet to get up from her reclined position on her bed. As humorous as the lie could be, she didn't fancy the idea of getting shot and bleeding to death while is crew decides to plunder the ship. In fact, she didn't fancy the idea of dying at all.

So she slips the necklace out from a hidden pocket, idly fingering the chain as she shows it to him. "It is a real beaut, isn't it." A grin on her face.

However, it fades slightly at his so-called proposition about being aboard his ship. Although it sounds rather tempting the fact that she would not get to carry the title as captain doesn't sit well with her. Especially if she has to take orders from someone as seemingly daft as he is. She does not want to be the one having to clean up messes like she currently does at times. That's not a duty she wants to be saddled with. "But I won't be swabbing decks, I hope. Otherwise I'll take my chances with the sea and this little thing along with me."

Truth be told, she would fight for the right to be called captain, should a challenge should be issued. More than willing to fight for it. "However, you're going to have to give me a better offer than that."
