((Sharde had found a lovely pic of a ship that would have looked like the Grosvenor, I hope he still has the url for the pic, because I didn? save it :/.  Hopefully it will help ppl? and furs to know the era of this RP.  Pls post it, Sharde if you still have it?hanks! ))<br/><br/><br/>*The large black bear which approached the foxy, simply staggered passed her, and threw himself into a fishing sloop, moored at the dock, to sleep it off.  Anastasia is relieved?he has never been in such harsh place as the Plymouth docks, England, amongst common furs and humans. She begins to wonder how wise this trip will be, and is almost thinking to return home?ntil she hears the handsome wolf? voice.  She looks up, expecting to see the ship? captain?ut Sharde is an officer.  In his most handsome east blue EastIndia uniform? daring and dashing position, for a young wolf to rise too.  He?l command the mightiest bears, the agile felines, the dexterous rodents, the loyal canines and clever humans, who?l form the Grosvenor? crew.  Sharde would have the heavy responsibility to make sure, such an expensive ship will return, heavily loaded with gold, silver, silks, spices from exotic countries?r otherwise many fortunes would be lost, and he?l sent to botany bay! *<br/><br/>*Anastasia hopes that he won? simply plant his big boot into a rotten timber, and sink such a beautiful, historic ship right there at the docks.  ((inside joke<img alt=":)" src="./images/smilies/smile.gif" title="Smile"/>)<br/><br/>*She opens a silk umbrella, when a common rodent approaches her.  Anastasia stiffens a little?nd cleverly opens a fan, to hide most of her face from him.  *  Yes?? to board the Grosvenor.  And I? not impressed!  *Anastasia says about the most impressive ship in the harbour, after the royal navy. *  You?l take my luggage to my cabin?nd you?l introduce me to the captain.  I have a thing or two to say?nd already, I am most unimpressed!  *she does come from the richest fox family in the land.  She allows the rodents, and whom ever else involved to look after her cargo.  However she is impressed with Leonard?nd she knows, for the next six months, she and two hundred others will be stuck together in a small hold, as the ship rounds Africa and then towards the East.  *<br/><br/>*Anastasia didn? enjoy going across the Grosvenor? gangplank, and the gentle swell inside the protective harbour, rocks the large square rigger slightly.  She? prepared to meet the captain and the boat? officers.  After all, she?l be dining at their table for however long it takes.  Poor Leonard and others of his class, will have to work hard to prepare the ship for it? long vouge.  *
