Spectra did truly feel sorry for the Hakaam sailors. "I'm sorry, captain. Tell her, it was the succubus Spectra spouting her soft-hearted nonsense and exerting her influence again. Perhaps she will be more lenient." She suggested with obvious sincerity. It might cause a little trouble for her, but it wouldn't be surprising to hear that Spectra would try to encourage such a compromise and since Succubi are known to be able to influence people's emotions and desires it may actually serve to help the captain and her crew.<br/><br/>She let her shadows dissolve, except for the plank she was standing on, so that everyone could move about freely once again. A few moments of silence passed as the Hakaam evacuated before...<br/><br/>"Rrrrgghh!!!" Captain Sin growled angrily as they were left with an abandoned Sea Dove after the unsuccessful raid.<br/>"... Captain..." Spectra began to say, consolingly, as Sin approached to step aboard the shadow plank the succubus had created to approach the other ship.<br/>"Rargh!" She roared out as Sin thrust her sword into Spectra's midsection.<br/>Spectra simply rolled her eyes and turned to face Sin who was still walking, angrily, back to the Bloody Devil.<br/>"Captain, that wasn't very nice..."<br/>"Grra! Fuck you!" Sin exclaimed, turning around to face Spectra who cassually removed the sword and handed it back to her, seemingly completely unaffected by what would clearly be a fatal wound to anyone else. "You don't get involved huh?!"<br/>"I don't... normally... I was just trying to help you... You don't understand, I'm like you, a renegade, I don't claim allegiance to any one tribe or deity, so I walk a very fine line. Most of the deities respect me, or at the very least, don't view me as a threat, so they let me pass through their lands as I please. But if it were to seem like I was beginning to favor one, or trying to attack one, it would bring attention to us. Madame Ghistra, the goddess of the Hakaam, believe me, you don't want someone like her angry with you. I was helping you out..."<br/>"Helping me? Helping ME?! I don't NEED your help! You're ALL useless!" She exclaimed, stepping down off the shadow plank back to the deck of the Bloody Devil, looking at Thavva, Seydon, Whiska, and Spectra as she proclaimed them useless.<br/><br/>"You ABANDONED the fight, in the middle of a battle!!! What the fuck is wrong with you?! Everything was going perfectly, and then you... RUN AWAY?! And you!!!" She turned her attention back to Spectra again. "You interfere with my command, restrain my crew! You're a good lay but you're not worth this trouble! I want you ALL gone! Every single one of you. We're going back to April... May... June... whatever the fuck that shithole town was we found you in... that YOU convinced me to go to, and we're getting rid of your useless asses. Ha! I-- I'd love nothing more than to make you all walk the plank right now, but half of you are FISH PEOPLE it would be fucking pointless!!! So, instead, I'm dumping the lot of you off and continuing on my way without you lamprei's clinging to my side!"<br/><br/>The captain then began to stomp furiously to the captain's quarters, however she saw some of the crew beginning to approach the Sea Dove from the corner of her eye. She turned swiftly and yelled out again. "No! Not a single one of you so much as sets foot on that ship, or takes A THING from it! It SICKENS me! I want nothing to do with it. Leave it to rot, for all I care. Just turn us back around and get us back to those filthy swamps at full speed. The sooner I'm rid of these pests, the better!" She exclaimed before slamming shut the doors to the captain's quarters, rattling the deck as she did so.<br/><br/><br/>Spectra finished returning to the deck of the Bloody Devil as well. Though her movements were silent and graceful. She sighed softly after the captain's outburst, practically floating over to Seydon, Thavva, and Whiska. "Don't take it personally. She's a... passionate... woman. I'll talk to her." She said, just to assure them that they did have a friend onboard, before she took on a shadow form and slid effortlessly beneath the doors to the captain's quarters.<br/><br/>Shortly afterward they, and the crew, would hear a loud ruckus coming from inside as the captain 'greeted' her unwanted guest. Things being thrown, numerous loud thumps and bumps, until eventually things grew quiet again.<br/><br/>For now, the trio was safe, though the crew eyed them warily not wanting to be involved with them for fear of the captain's wrath.<br/><br/>SarAI though, wasn't as concerned about that, and remained close to the group though she didn't immediately say anything.<br/><br/><br/>------------ In the captain's quarters with Spectra -------------<br/><br/><br/>"This is all your fault! You're the one who told me to go to that port! You're the one who brought us to that pretend god! It's all you and now you don't even have the decency to die!!!" She yelled, tossing a boot at the succubus which she easily dodged as it slammed against the wall and dislodged some of the treasures hanging upon it.<br/><br/>"*Sigh* Captain, I like you. I do. You've got an undeniable style and charisma, and I'd love nothing more than to make you mine, that's why I want to help you. But first, you need to acknowledge your mistakes..."<br/><br/>"Acknowledge... MY mistakes?! My mistake was to bring you on board in the first place!!!"<br/><br/>"No, captain... THIS whole failed endeavor, was YOUR fault! YOU set them up to fail! Don't bother to deny it, I know it's true. I can feel your emotions. You wanted them to fail so you could be rid of them, and blame it on someone else, then make off with a quick score. But, something happened that you didn't expect... they actually did well. Things started to go even BETTER than you expected, so you had a change of heart. Suddenly you wanted them to succeed, to the point you were ready to join in yourself. But since YOU didn't bother to train or prepare them first and decided to set them into a difficult situation right away YOU had already set them up for failure and created the very disaster you're so angry about. Captain... Vivian... please, I only want to help you. So much so I nearly put myself in danger by intervening. Please, take some time, consider what I've said, and allow us to help you. We can try again. This time with proper preparation. I guarantee you, it will be..."<br/>"Get out." Sin growled. Spectra could clearly sense the captain was in no mood to continue conversing with her.<br/>Spectra took a deep breath and approached the doors to leave. "I'll give you some time. Just, don't forget, I only want to help." She said, before slipping out again the way she came in and crossing her arms with a loud sigh as she returned to the deck, nothing to do now but wait to see whether or not Sin would come around.
