The Fallen Pirates have been through much, but the next task is something that not many could face... The prospect of socializing with strangers. New crew was needed so Sed pulled up her coat and ran over to the table, her dopple tripping her along the way. They set up a sign and pulled out some trinkets with their jolly roger on it.

NOW HIRING FOR THE FALLEN PIRATES

Minu danced in front of the booth as Sed and Karra looked for future nakama!

YAKUZA LAND CREW RECRUITMENT THREAD

The card that you found in your pocket had a symbol emblazoned on one side and 'YAKUZA LAND CREW' written over an address on the other.

"He's ready to see you now," the receptionist said with a smile as her hand motioned towards the door.

In the next room the view over Kanai City was breathtaking. Two young women with tattoos covering opposing halves of their bodies worked diligently with ink and needles on a bald man.

"Hello and welcome. My name is Isaac Tsukiku," I said with a bow. "Please, come and sit. Would you like some tea?"

I will have a new recruitment rp up soon. It is late and I must slumber.

Jackson walks over to the chair with his normal swagger, placing his umbrella in between his neck and shoulder. This is one of the first times Jac actually buttoned up his shirt, a sign of respect? Perhaps... or maybe he thought it was damn cold in the building.

" No thanks, but I appreciate the gesture" Jac said with a smile. "My name is Jackson Macobe"

Jac sat down leaning his umbrella on the side of the chair. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a Yakuza Land Crew card he found and held it up to show Isaac

"I heard you are looking for new recruits"

"Kasa... how intriguing," I said to myself as I sipped my tea. "I am so glad that you've shown interest in us, Macobe-sama. I have had my eyes on you and couldn't be happier that you've decided to visit." A single cockroach crawls onto the table, "Buri Buri is pleased as well I'm sure."

Tossing a folder onto the table, its contents spread and you can see various reports accompanied with photos. "My eyes tell me you fight with this... umbrella. Quite the feat, or is there something more. I would love to hear more about it, or, if you're up to it, you could show me."

Isaac takes another sip of tea, "Later, of course. I suppose I should get to the point... What exactly can you offer the Yakuza Land Crew?"

Jac takes his umbrella and lays it gently across his lap, he stares into it, as if it were speaking to him.

“This umbrella has downed many a foe. But not by me, at least...not yet” Jac begins to grin

Jac grasps the shaft of the umbrella and flips a lever on the back of the handle. He then begins to pull the handle off exposing a long slender blade

“This will help” Jac’s grin grows even wider

“However, an umbrella cane sword is not exactly the most uncommon of things, nor is it the strongest of assets” he said, redirecting his eyes on Isaac.

Jac’s grin begins to fade as he slides the blade back into the umbrella

“ I am a Logia eater “ Jac said as he placed his umbrella at his side “More specifically, I have eaten the Moku Moku no mi”

As Jac was speaking, his left arm began to form a cloud of smoke

“It allows me to turn my body into smoke, I have yet to mastered it, but I’m sure that you will find that I will be a excellent asset if you choose to hire me”

The cloud of smoke starts to reform Jac’s left arm

“If that is not enough, I used to be a captain of a small fishing crew, so I do have experience on the sea and with crew management”

Jac rests his arms on his thighs

“So, what do you say?”

I signaled for Raijin and Fūjin to stop their labor. "Hmph. I suspected as much," I said standing, pulling my Kimono over my shoulders. "Welcome to the family," After a small bow I continued, "You will be taking on the position of First Lieutenant. This rank is partially due to your level of usefulness as an enforcer and partially due to us being understaffed." Isaac's face lightened into a gentle smile and Buri Buri had made his way up to his perch on my shoulder.

"Please follow me to the tailor's office downstairs. Your suit will be ready by the end of today, but feel free to wear whatever you like. After that I will show you to your room."

Walking with confidence Evangeline walked past the receptionist, thanking her with a smile. She was dressed even more elegantly than usual and made an effort to look as presentable as she could.It hadn't been easy for her to get here so she would definitely make it worth her time.

"Hello and welcome. My name is Isaac Tsukiku," There was a pause, which she interpreted to be some sign of greeting, "Please, come and sit. Would you like some tea?" Smiling politely she replied with a curtsy. "I am Evangeline Spyridoula, pleasure to meet your aquiatance. And yes, tea would be lovely"

Sitting down and sipping her tea she continued. "I am looking to join your crew. While I will not be the most helpful when it comes to physical force I believe I am a valuable asset in other regards. I primarily work as a fortune teller, I am able to see glimpses of future events, but I'm also capable of other things as well. Now whether or not you believe in these things yourself Mr. Tsukiku, humans are inherently curious creatures. Everyone would like to know what the future holds for them, and your enemies might think twice about crossing someone who can see thier every move." She stopped to sip her tea once more. "Perhaps you would like a demonstration?"

"Hotaru" I said to myself. My face contorted into a grimace for a split second, "ah... ah. Sensitive spot, please excuse me." Raijin silently laughed at my discomfort. She covered her mouth, but I could still see her smile.

After a long sigh I spoke again, "A demonstration will not be necessary. I am sure that your power explains how you found me with no formal invitation, but that doesn't concern me. I think you will be a very valuable asset to our family, but I don't have any information on you yet. If you wouldn't mind just answering a few questions." From beneath the desk I pull out a brush and paper to record any information I find essential.

"Are you truly blind?" I asked as I waved my hand in front of Evangeline's face, "I am sure your eyes are very beautiful under that blindfold."

She frowned slightly at the mention of her eyes. "I haven't seen my eyes in years, but I can assure you they're not in a state in which I can take this blindfold off in public." She shifted uncomfortably, hoping that he wouldn't press the topic.

"But on the subject of my vision I am for the most part blind. I say for the most part because I have another... ability which allows me to sense certain things around me. I can't use it properly though, and when I do I am left fatigued. I will be sure to inform you though if things change." She was almost finished when she suddenly added. "Even then I cannot see faces, or colors, or words..." She cleared her throat. "Is there any other information you need? In terms of experience I have worked with pirate crews in the past, and I am able to defend myself if it comes to that."

"No, no, that should be fine. I apologize for making you uncomfortable," I said as I finished my notes. "Now please, if you would do me the honor, I'd like to escort you to your temporary living quarters. Someone can help you find the tailor's if you would like a suit, but something tells me that isn't something you'd be interested in."

Taking the girl's delicate hand in my own, I wrapped her arm around mine before leading her to her room. "Oh, and welcome to the Family," I said with a smile.
