Clearly, they were not related by blood: Sue had jet black hair and darker skin while Sophie’s was creamy white and her hair was fire-red. Genetics sometimes worked in weird ways and he was far from an expert… but he knew enough to know that it never worked like<em>that</em>. Nevertheless, Braxton just shrugged. He would talk to the man, sure. Another mouth to feed was another mouth to feed and someone had to pay for that. But apart from that, he didn’t have an issue as long as the girl didn’t bring any trouble with her. It would be better for everyone – most of all him – if, in the future, less of a fuss would be raised about having a personal floozy on board.<br/><br/>Besides, the man tried to be useful to and make his whore-run look like legitimate business. Sue had no specifics but it looked like the strike could be broken up – and broken up violently – any day now and Braxton really wanted to deliver, get paid and be out of town when that happened.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=158094.msg7270975#msg7270975">Quote from: helvorn on 24-11-2012, 08:49:10</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I curtsied again to the captain, being sure to lean forward a bit to show off the front of my pretty dress and my chest.  I knew that men liked my chest and I liked that they liked it. <strong> "Pleased to meet you captain.  You have a wonderful ship.  She feels safe and strong and even though she is not as shiny as a nice liner I think she has much more character.  It will be fun!"</strong><br/><br/>Listening to uncle Sue talk to the captain I hoped that he would let me stay a long time or at least until I went back home to aunt Amelia.  Halfway through the conversation I butted in.  <strong>"Oh I can clean and sweep and help uncle Sue cook captain. I have the prettiest maid's uniform in my trunk that I can wear while I am worked and a nice apron to keep from getting messy."</strong><br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Sophie rolls Presence+Seduction to sway the captain.<br/><br/>Roll Result: Sophie rolled: 8d10<br/>Comment: Sophie Seduction<br/>Result: 4, 3, 9, 6, 10, 2, 2, 7<br/><br/>4 Successes.

Her curtsy seemed well practiced, though he had never heard of a finishing school where they taught girls to bend over that deep or lift their skirts that high…<br/><br/><strong>”I…uh… I’m sure we can… work something out. You go with Sue for now.”</strong>He mumbled before he could focus back on the business at hand. They<em>were</em>on a deadline after all and he couldn’t use another distraction right now.<br/>
