The captain opens the door, whistles, and then when the men on the other side have assembled, shouts out, gesturing, and eventually five people are in the room with Noriko and Ironsides. She has them line up and then introduces them, letting Noriko pick who to take with her on the job.<br/><br/>First one up is a woman with bark brown hair, bit of a belly, and quite strong. Adopted daughter of a friend of Ironsides, trustworthy. Thankfully doesn't have her father's sense of doing things, which is usually bloody and thorough. She (Ironsides says to call her Pelt, unless you've suddenly gotten a good Western accent) isn't the smartest one in the bunch though. Also, with her dark skin and sea colored hair, she stands out the most.<br/><br/>Next up is Sarasala. Young-ish looking, reedy, underfed, was a Cynis slave because of criminal matters. While he has the most experience with things like this, he's also likely to take the opportunity to do something, which could be bad, could be good. Criminal matters being speculated as stealing some derivative of the Age Staving Cordial. He doesn't stand out a lot, being dark haired and having that mix of skin colors that's sometimes called Realm Mutt if you're being very insulting/<br/><br/>Third one is Blue Moon. Good worker, keeps his head down, doesn't ask questions. Only really stands out in that he's the first one to work, and last one away from it. His thin frame, then, has got to be hiding a lot of energy. Northerner, blue eyes, doesn't stand out too much beyond that paleness and the eyes, thankfully.<br/><br/>Fourth is the Varangian. Silent, mildly lettered and almost as dark as Pelt. Main advantages to taking him is that he's the one that Ironsides trusts the most. Sadly, he's mute and that could lead to some issues depending on who the guards are when the attempt is made. He's also the ship medic, so Ironsides warns Noriko to be careful with him.<br/><br/>Fifth is Will, who Ironsides explains to Noriko, is there because she wants there to be a lucky number of people to choose from.
