Prepare ye cocks and cunts to be mounted!" a lady bellowed from the bow of the ship. Dressed in what could loosely be described as a captain's garb and sporting a frankly ludicrously large hat, the woman looked less a pirate, and more a scanty caricature of one. It was the kind of outfit a hooker would wear when wanting to play dress up for a client with rather specific tastes. This was, however, more or less right on the mark, for the captain of the luxurious vessel was none other than the ex-prostitute turned ex-Delver turned re-prostitute Abigail "Strong Knees" Hardwood.<br/><br/>Not long ago Abigail had been an adventurer just like the many Delvers gathered here today, venturing out seeking gold and glory with her party. However after a string of legendary scores that earned the group almost more gold than they could even spend, Abby decided to take her share of the spoils and start up her own little business. She bought her own sailing ship, dubbed the "Ratchet Hatchet" after her trusty companion Hatch (read: a supposedly magical talking wood axe), and staffed it with the finest whores and most adequate sailors money could buy, turning it into the world's first sailing whore house, a brothel on waves if you will. Despite the seedy name the Ratchet Hatchet was like a 5 star restaurant of whore houses. And like a good restaurant it had a diverse and tantalizing menu, providing nearly every flavor of woman imaginable. Whether they be from different kingdoms or different races, there were few tastes Abigail's crew weren't equipped to satisfy.<br/><br/>And ever since forming her new crew, Abigail had been sailing up and down the coasts providing revelry and pleasurable company at reasonable-but-still-premium prices to every port in the land, adding a healthy chunk to her already considerable fortune. Every once in a while she would track down her old companions for another quick adventure, for old times' sake, but for the most part her time as an active Delver was done. She had, after all, always been better at fucking than fighting, though she was deceptively competent at both, and with the Ratchet Hatchet she was able to do what she did best while still getting to sate her lust for adventure, a true win-win.<br/><br/>Of course that wasn't to say she didn't still associate with the Delvers, and take advantage of those sweet member's benefits, thus why she was currently tethering her vessel to the mass of ships and rafters that were the Floating Slums, "Ah it's good to be back...greetings everyone! long time no see. I come baring warm greetings and plentiful booty. Come on now don't be shy. We've brought on a whole gang of new girls since we've last stopped by that you really must see" she boasted as she stepped off her ship onto the central hub. She was quickly flanked by some of her most experienced and alluring working girls, who quickly dispersed through the crowd to start drawing potential customers back onto the boat, or allow themselves to be lead off to their rooms if they were so inclined. The girls were all quite bold and carefree, not fearing any kind of danger. After all their boss was known for 2 things: 1. being a former Delver, which in itself was enough clout to ensure their protection, and 2. being an absolute nut-job who carried an axe everywhere she went that supposedly talked to her and told her what to do, which was more than enough to make even the saltiest John think twice about messing with one of her girls.<br/><br/>Suddenly Aeryn would feel a firm hand grab onto her's, helping her pull up and over onto the deck, "there ya go darling, hope you don't mind a hand" she said with a chuckle, before giving the girl a look over, her gaze shamelessly lingering on the woman's stand-out assets, "haven't seen you around here before beautiful, I'd definitely remember a pair ears that floofy" she cooed, reaching out to try and pet them without even asking, "care to pay us a little visit? maybe see something you like. With a full Delver's Discount of course..." she added with a sly grin, always scouting for potential customers...or employees...<br/><br/><div align="center">(https://i.imgur.com/vhSQ3Tk.jpg?1)(https://i.imgur.com/HzI0GnC.jpg)</div>
