<snarls at the thought of having to put a dress on... Mumbles but slips into it anyway after removing the lice infested pirates outfit.>
Ok... Like Raisa said, lets hurry... We don't have time....
<Stalks back to the cargo hold to stack grates carefully and quietly. Mumbling how the dress rides up. The longsword straped to my back.>

<Hands LC the bundle of dresses... places his finger against her lips, whispers> Shh... after we get the bugger off this ship, promise me I'll see you wearing a dress, rather then carrying them... <wink>
<With his dagger leading the way, Dapper Dan leads LadyChina up the lit spiral staircase...>
[The background music picks up in volume and tempo]

Lady China and Dapper Dan quietly ascend the spiral staircase. Several times they are forced to grab the railing because of the rolling motion of the ship.
They reach a landing with a door. The staircase continues upward.
Tiger climbs the improvised ladder. Even with Marissa holding the crates steady he almost loses his balance. He gets to the doors in the ceiling.
They do not appear to be locked.

*breathing deeply, miniscule fibers of the rags she's wearing detach and shoot upward into the vacuum created by a necessary act of living, and enhanced by a rush of adernalin*
Oh oh...
*face contorting, the burn of a surpressed sneeze slides through her sinus cavity. The door in front of her wavers in response to suddenly watery eyes*

<Finishes inspecting the door on the landing... begins to stand and fetch the lantern on the floor... whispers>
I say we... <turns to LadyChina> check...
Oh bollocks...
<gathers LC's head in a hug and buries her face into his chest> Go ahead, let it out dear.
<The motion of the ship causes the lit lantern to slide across the floor towards the staircase > Quickly luv...

*The urge to sneeze was replaced with a need for air, Dap had grabbed her head on an exhale and denied her inhale with his chest.
Mmm, MMM..DDDaa
*She thrust stiffened fingers into his stomach, gaining the space for an inhalation, with a surprised exhale on his part and a release of his headlock.*
*she sneezed*
Eeeeeeechooooo!
*blinked in horror at the noise, looked at Dap*

*blinked in horror at the noise, looked at Dap*
*squinting, she stared at Dap, sure he hadn't moved his lips to form words, beyond another whispered "Bollocks!" at the conclusion of her sneeze. Was the stress of BirdYser's disappearance finally causing her to turn as loony as Sassafras Sally who was her fourth cousin, ten times removed - by the Wood Elf Council - from the center of the village of the forest of 'Ell? She'd been removed from the village center because she spent all her time making up anthropomorphic concepts and then taking on the natural characteristics of that which she'd just anthropomorphized. For a solid week she'd sat on the ground, legs out stretched, bent forward with her hands wrapped around her ankles and her face in her lap - every once in awhile she's slowly raise her arms and torso until you could see her tongue sticking out of her mouth with a pearl balanced on the tip. Of course, she'd been "Happy as a clam". Was this some strange case of a passive-aggressive recessive gene coming to the fore? "Who do I have to eat" - she'd heard it. Was that her mind's way of dealing with Sassafras Sally and the impact it'd had upon her ability to show her pride without the use of peacock feathers? Maybe...*
<That wasn't a sneeze... more like a bloody canon! Hmm it must've really rattled her... her unblinking eyes staring, her mind's eye now in control, she's not here... The bloody lantern! The rolling ship pitches the lantern directly towards the stairs leading down. Dapper Dan takes a tumbling leap for it...>
Time seems to go into slow motion. Dan tries to move through the syrup that the air has become. He throws himself toward the lantern, fingers seeking the handle.
He hits the deck and stops the lantern from tumbling down then stairs...or so he thinks until he loses his grip because of hair gel coating his hand.
Bang, bang, bump, crash, tinkle.
You now smell smoke.

<Quickly jumps to his feet and approaches LadyChina> Lets just call that our diversion, shall we?
<Opens the door on the landing... grabs LC by the arm and pulls her into the room... making sure she didn't drop any of the dresses she carried, Dan closes the door and inspects it for a lock...>
<Whispers> That was most unexpected...

...Spring is sprung, Daddy mole sticks his head out of the ground and inhales deeply - "ahhhh, I smell apple blossoms!" - Mommy mole shoves her way up beside Daddy and inhales deeply - "ohhhhh, I smell sweet clover." - Baby mole, still blind as baby moles are, shoves his head up as far as he can and says, "all I smells is Moleasses."...
*The pleasant dream of a world without Sassafras Sally and anthropomorphic references remains as nebulous as a cloud of smoke. smoke....SMOKE? SMOKE!!!!!!!*
Dap! *focusing she finds him pulling her along into who knows what*
BOLLOCKS!

<jumping at the huge explosion of sound from the hallway, then the distinct sound of breaking glass and the realization that the smell of smoke was filling the stairway I peer upwards into the darkness towards Tig> "What was that? <peering in the direction of the sounds, I see a faint red glow> Um... Tiger? Do you see that? It can't be good. You had better do something with that hatch quickly or we might be center stage at a boat bonfire.
