Molly: *Molly paces the deck, a nervous but excited energy to her* Morgan: *Morgan approaches Molly* she'll be up in a moment Molly: *Molly smiles and nods* Good, for I am unsure I could cope with waiting much longer! Morgan: I can see that Molly: In truth, it reminds me of being here in Carleon before, except mor so Molly: *She moves towards the gang plank, watching for Evie still* Evie: *Evie comes upstairs, with all her bags and weapons, she moves over to Morgan and Molly and places her possessions down carefully* How are you feeling Molly *she smiles broadly* Molly: Excited... nervous... queasy Evie: Shall we get on the way then? *She goes to walk then stops* Oh before i forget, since you have been waiting for such a magnificant ship, i think it would be god for when you see this ship for the first time for it to be a magnificant revelation! do you not think? *She has a mishevious smile on her face* Evie: *good Molly: *Molly looks puzzled* How so? Evie: Well, perhaps if your sight was not there until the ship was right in front of you? then a sudden surprise as you open your eyes and have the rose in front of you! Molly: *Molly looks uncharacteerristically impatient* speak plain Evie... Evie: *Evie smiles, finding Molly's rare imaptience funny, she reveals a stocking* let me blindfold you! then myself and Morgan can guide you to the ship! and your dear friends could be the first to present it to you! Molly: *Molly grins, and claps her hands* Yes! I like that idea Evie: *she giggles* though for your safety i think it would be better to blindfold you once we are actually standing on the ground! Molly: *Molly starts down the gang plank* Then come Evie,  for I hav waitd long enough! Evie: *Evie laughs and hurries to catch up with Molly, she turns round* Are you coming Morgan? Morgan: *Morgan hefts the left bags onto his shoulders and follows them down onto the wharf* Molly: *Getting to the bottom, Molly smiles at them both, and she clearly fidgets, her breathing fast, eyes dart around at the various people going about their business* Evie: Right then! *she steps behind molly* Ready to be blindfolded? Molly: *Molly nods biting her lip. Close up, Evie will see that she is actually shaking* Evie: *Evie notices and makes an 'aww' sound, she carefully puts the stocking round mollys head, making sure it covers her eyes, and making sure its not too uncomfortable, She goes to the side of Molly and links her arm with hers* Morgan, do you actually know what way it is? Morgan: I've an idea, yes Molly: *Molly laughs softly and it occurs to her that would trust no two other people in the world to blinfold her* Evie: Do you mind leading the way? for i wouldnt want to lead Molly the wrong way! *She laughs* Molly: *Molly gigles nervously* I think Evie, it would take a far more practised person than you to lead me the wrong way! Morgan: *Morgan nods and begins to walk along the wharf* Evie: *Evie follows Morgan, making sure Molly is ok, and walking carefully avoiding everything and everyone* Molly: *Molly allows herself to be led, still fidgety and excited, and her enthusiasm is infectious* Oh what blissful torture is this, to be so near and yet so far to she that I dream of! Morgan: *Eventually Morgan looks up at the prow of a ship* We're here Evie: *Evie gasps* Its....its...beautiful... Molly: The dock is busy, so many people going about their business, oblivious to the three, blindfolded girl in the  middle... The Rose stands before them, proud, new, three great masts towering up in to the blue Carleon sky. She is breathtaking, dark wood, hull strong, sleek, obviously Eisen built. The sails flap softly in the mild breeze. Molly: ((narration there btw)) Morgan: I'd like to know which idiot didn't furl those sails properly Molly: *Molly grins, excitement reahing its peak... she can't stand still* Is that her sails I can hear?! Morgan: It is *there is annoyance evident in Morgans voice* Evie: are you ready to present the rose to Molly? *she looks to morgan* Molly: Oh such a beautiful sound!! Morgan: take it off, Eiblinn Morgan: Lady Forrester, I give you the Purple Rose Evie: *Eiblinn carefully unties the blindfold* Molly: *Molly feels the fabric be taken away. She blinks as her eyes adjust to the light. Her nerves tingle and she  visibly trembles as she waits for her vision to clear.* Molly: *Molly lets out a loud squeal of joy, unable to control her self. Her excitement and joy is infectious, her  eyes lit up like a child's on the morn of their birthday. She grins broadly, and her voice conveys the  intensity of her happiness in its slight waver.* Molly: She is... beautiful, proud, majestic...can you _truly_ believe that a common girl could be in possesion of  such beauty and worth?!   Evie: *Evie giggles at Molly's reaction, she looks to morgan, happy* Morgan: I'll uhhh... I'll go and find the harbour master Evie: *She walks back to the side of Molly and giggles* Can we go on board yet?! Molly: *Molly looks slightly puzled at Morgan* Will I not need to take my ownership paper to his office or will he come here? Morgan: most likely you would need to bring the papers, but I was planning to use my persuasive and endearing traits to bring him here Molly: Then I shall expect to see him immediately Molly: *she grins* Morgan: *Morgan puts the bags down gently* I'll be back in  a moment *he strides away across the dock* Molly: *Molly visibly bounces. She looks at the Rose, taking in all her lines, her curves. She grins at Evie, her  eyes filled with tears. She flings her arms around Evie, spinning her on the spot, laughing loudly.* I have a ship, can you believe it?!? Have I ever been so filled with joy as at this moment?! Evie: *Evie yelps then giggles when Molly spins her round* You truelly deserve it Molly, you are the kindest, most caring person i have ever met! *Evie's eyes become teary as she looks at Molly's happiness, truelly happy for her* Molly: You do me far more honour than I deserve, I am not as good as you believe... but still, through luck or reward, there she is... *molly looks up* she is bigger than I would have imagined Evie: *She smiles again* oh i do hope that morgan doesnt take to long-im so impatient to get on board, i cannot imagine how you must feel! Molly: In truth, I have waited all my life on an impossible dream, that I, little Molly Forrester, daughter of a farmer would some day be independant, secure... I can not believe how lucky I am truly! Molly: +they talk quietly, earnestedly for a few minutes, about the ship, and the future+ Morgan: *Morgan strides back across the wharf followed by a tall wiry man. Morgan's face belies the fact that there is no doubt in Morgans mind that the man is following* Molly: *Molly watches him approach, remembering this walk from their previous visit* Molly: +The harbour master looks at the two women, and the the Rose. He shudders slightly, following behind Morgan+ Molly: *Molly whispers to Evie* Morgan: *Morgan walks up and steps to one side and addresses the man* This is Lady Forrester. I trust you can complete these details quickly. Molly: *Molly curtseys to them both* Good morning, good sir. Molly: +The harbour master smiles at her as if she is slightly simple+ Good morning Lady Forrester. Our business will take but a few moments. Do you have your title deed? Evie: *Evie steps slightly away from the three, staying quiet and looking towards the floor* Molly: *Molly smiles, producing it from her bag. They exchange some papers, unil Molly has more documents than she started with, which she places carefully in her bag. He examines them all carefully, before looking at the three of them, all dressed in their far-from-bests, with suspicion* Well, your papers are in order... Molly: *Molly watches him closely, until she smiles with realisation* You shall hav to excuse our dress sir, but we prepare for the work necessary to return her to order, for a year in dock would do no ship good,  especially such a fine one as she... *She smiles at him disarmingly, pure charm* Molly: *He seems satisfied with this answer, and looks to Morgan with a bow of his head, half respect, half apology* My Lord... Morgan: *Morgan looks coldly at the man but says nothing* Molly: *He looks back to Molly* My Lady, I believe you might be pleasantly suprised, for out of respect for her previous owner, I have had her cleaned three times since she was docked here in October of the year gone... Molly: *Molly smiles* That was most generous of you sir, and I am pleased to hear such, for it shall ensure our swift departure. I believe we shall stay in dock for three or four days before setting sail. I trust you can accomodate her a little longer? Molly: *He looks up at the ship, and there is fear in his eyes* Yes, of course my Lady... *He looks back to her* I am Sir Marcus Reynolds, and I would be pleased to speak with you further regarding the history of the ship before your departure, should you wish it. I shall arrange for you to have access immediately. Molly: *Molly nods* That would be very kind, thank you. Molly: *He bows to all three of them* Molly: Lord Koertig, Lady Forrester... *He looks to Evie* My Lady... Evie: *She courtsies to Marcus* My lord... Molly: *Molly curtseys* Morgan: *Morgan looks at the man* Dont let us keep you Marcus Molly: *Marcus looks slightly annoyed before smiling* Yes my Lord... *He turns and leaves* Molly: *Molly breathes a huge sigh of relief* Molly: I believe this is the moment my name becomes infamous... *she laughs softly* Morgan: I think you might well be right Evie: *Evie joins the conversation again* Why is that? Molly: It would be hard for gossip not to inflame this wharf within the hour Molly: I am an unknown woman with a title, come to take possesion of the most renowned, and 'cursed' ship, wearing the dress of a peasant woman.... Molly: Tell m, what is there not to gossip about? Morgan: *Morgan starts hefting the bags back onto his shoulders* Molly: +once set up, the men leave quickly+ Molly: *Molly looks around guiltily* I _did_ promise our hosts that I would send for them once I had access to her... but I can see that it will do them little harm to wait! *She strides up to the gang plank, and walks up on to the deck* Evie: *evie giggles, and follows her* Yes, a few minutes shall not harm! Morgan: *Morgan lugs the bags onto the ship* Molly: *Molly suveys the deck, feeling the ship beneath her feet. She bends down, touching the solid wood with her palm flat to it. She says something quietly in Eisen* Hallo, mein liebling... Morgan: *Morgan frowns at the prow* I think they've used too short a line... she's listing Molly: *Molly stands up, and goes to his side* You know about ships, L- ... Morgan? *she blushes* Morgan: I know enough Evie: *Evie looks all around the ship, not sure what Morgan is quite on about* Is it hard to learn about them> Molly: Hopefully such flaws can be remedied easily... *She pulls out a sheet of parchment, which shows a layout of the ship, which she studies closely* Morgan: It should only take a loosening of the tie lines to sort out Molly: *she looks up* would you be able to do it? *She looks down at the hand she had on the deck, and it is only slightly dirty, which she rubs on her skirt* Morgan: *Morgan nods, drops the bags and walks back down the gang plank, out of sight* Evie: *Evie tilts her head while they talk* i didnt have a fecking clue what any of you were on about then *she laughs* is everything ok? Molly: *Molly smiles at Evie* Once it is done, we shall take a quick peek at the dining room and ball room, and you and Morgan can choose your rooms... it will take many days to clean it all, so we need to do the essentials first... Oh yes, simply that she is tied too tight to the dock, and leans slightly... I believe.. Evie: *She smiles* i can't wait to see the inside! is that a big problem if it leans? Molly: *Molly laughs softly* In all truth, I do not know, but I trust Morgan implicitally Molly: *Molly tilts the plan to show Evie* It is her layout inside... ((http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/crystal4314/therose.jpg)) Molly: So, a four-berth room, all to yourself? *molly giggles* Evie: *evie looks and giggles* of course! Evie: do you know who the captain will be? Molly: They will all be the same, so have which number you like! No, I do not know about the captain yet... I am unsure which one of our eisen hosts will join us to oversee the half crew on the journey to freiburg Morgan: *Without warning the ship shifts, coming completely upright in a groaning of ropes and wood, sending wavelets across the docks* Molly: *Molly manages to not fall* Gods in Theah! What on earth was that?1 *she strides quickly to the rail, looking down at Morgan* Was that supposed to happen?! Morgan: *Morgan is retying the final rope to the wharf anchors* Molly: *She watches him for a moment* Evie: *Evie gasps slightly at the movement, then stands next to molly and giggles* i hope that was ment to happen... Morgan: *He finishes tying the rope and looks up* Yes, it was. Molly: *She looks away quickly, embarassed* I confess, I was a little worried Molly: *She looks back with a smile* Thank you.... Morgan: *Leaving the rope, he strides back up the gangplank* Molly: *She wanders back over to him* Shall we go below deck? Morgan: if you wish Molly: *she looks to Evie* Let us explore! Evie: *Evie giggles excitedly* lead the way! Molly: *Molly leads the way down the stairs, suprised at how much cleaner it is than anticipated. she leads them through in to the kitchen, which has been emptied of food and drink, save a wine rack filled with various typesod drinks, including rum and brandy, all mostly full.* Molly: I should imagine she has seen little use, for otherwise there would be no drink left! Morgan: knowing an Eisen crew, I would've thought even a short voyage would have been enough to empty them Evie: *Evie stays quiet, just looking around excited and amazed by the beauty of the ship on the inside too* Molly: *Molly laughs* I am crtain the party I shall host before we leave might be enough to empty the rack.. I have never been a hostess before *she smiles sheepishly* Morgan: I'm sure you'll manage fine Molly: *she leads them through to the dining room. The walls are cream, trimmed in red, and there are a few paintings here and there. It is very elegant, rich upholstery. There are two long tables, with benches down the sides, and two chairs in red velvet at the ends of each. Molly goes to the table, running her hand over it slowly, caressing the wood.* This is a beautiful room... Evie: *Evie gasps again* yes, it is stunning... Molly: I believe I shall entertain here a great deal. *a guilty look comes ovr her* I think perhaps Evie, if you would, our Eisen friends ought to be summoned now... *she walks out of the door into the corridor, leading back to the stairs* Evie: *Evie smiles* i shall get them now-for they truelly shouldnt be kept from seeing this....masterpiece. *She smiles again and walks off towrds t  solemn wind Evie: (GYAH stupid smiley)) Evie: *the solemn wind
