The mood greatly improved with the sudden lilt of music and a melodious voice wavering through the smoke and booze infused air. Captain Kit-Kat sat back a little to watch as the androgynous man wove his way through the room, strumming his lute and singing lightly and even before the guy made his offer to join the crew, he was already thinking with his dick--er, ahem, well, he was already considering asking the singer to join. A storyteller musician on deck was a necessity for the long journey out in fierce waters.<br/><br/>Dark blue eyes filled with an indescribable light drifted up and down the newcomer's person with a lazy perusal, his lips curved at the edges as he silkily purred, "Cooking, singing,<i>and</i>illusions? Definitely a must-have on this crazy adventure."<br/><br/>Just a little jab at the mustached pirate for his exclamations and accusations concerning Kit-Kat's sanity. Good thing they all learned of the stakes now rather than get fed up with his black silken promises later on, stringing him up and tossing him out onto some remote isle like the last lemon drops had. "I'm glad you're so easy to convince," Kit said with a shrug. "Crème Lord knows I wouldn't be in this profession if not for the chocolate. As for the booty...<span style="font-family:Aref Ruqaa"><span style="font-size: 18px"><b><i>The Chocolate Sailor's finger is mine.</i></b></span></span>"<br/><br/>There was a dark edge slithering into his voice, his stormy blue eyes taking on a baleful cast, daring any one of them to challenge him on that point. With a sinister, taunting air, Captain Kit-Kat took his time, letting it linger in the air as he took a drag on his cinnamon cigarette before finally continuing. "The power of the chocolate touch will be mine to possess. However, any of you lot want any hoard of yours turned to chocolate, you can have it at the end of this quest. It'll be a lot of work to make sure everybody gets their life-supply of chocolate turned items but I'm willing to put the work in. Fair is fair. That is...unless you want to continue on with me sailing the seas. Plenty of chocolate turning will happen then as we hunt down the hoard of every well known pirate since the dawn of time. And with a power like that...who could stop me? So, it'll be up to you at the end whether you wanna retire with a cache of chocolate-turned items all your own, or to travel with me, turning all the Navies and defenseless merchants of all the sweetened seas into chocolate candy."<br/><br/>Freddie might have thought he was making a point by saying how much he loved chocolate to go on this journey with such a crazy plan and crazy Captain. But nothing compared to the light of chocolate obsession in Kit-Kat's eyes just then, spreading out plain as day, his aspirations for domination of the world seas.
