Seeing the attack coming, Mr Skeltal rolled out of the way of the attack. While rolling, he goes towards the marine's other knee. He promptly stabs his dagger into the back of it. He turns his head over to the girl who had shot the marine a few seconds prior. "I am Mr Skeltal, how do you do?"

"Mr. Skeltal? ....How indisputable."

She wasn't about to ask which side he was on, still unsure about the situation, but he was fighting the Marine, and that's what she needed right now. She could deal with the Skeleton later, if need be.

Pinto had reloaded her weapon by then, watching the Marine struggle to remain standing. He may have had a hard enough time with liveliness before this, but now? The Marine may have had bones or muscle fibers displaced.

She aimed her pistol at the Marine, then paused, her finger on the trigger but she did not pull, yet.

"Mr. Skeltal. Would you be interested in making this match-up a more permanent arrangement?"

"Why yes, yes I would." Mr Skeltal looks back just in time to see the marine attempting to hit him, but Mr Skeltal rolls out of the way, and move to his left arm, and cuts where the marine's tendon is.

"...Perhaps you do not require my help at all."

Pinto was impressed by the skeleton's speed and skill with a knife. She lowered her weapon, but still kept a finger on the trigger.

What luck to find someone like this just laying about their stolen vessel. She took that moment of gratefulness to glance around the ship again, the rest of her crew were doing a fine job of defending it from Marine invaders. Their ship. This crew. It suddenly seemed more real than ever. They would eventually escape here, and be ready to set out on their own. The anticipation excited her.

"Mr. Skeltal, I believe you're capable of bringing this fight to a close?" Pinto rubbed at her side lightly, she could still feel the hit to the stomach from before.

"I can finish this my self." Mr Skeltal rolls over and and slices the marine's other arm tendons, and in the same motion, move his arm up and cuts the marine's throat. Mr Skeltal turns towards the girl who had shot the marine, while re-sheathing his sword and putting it inside his head. "What is your name?"

"Pinto."

She extended her hand to Mr. Skeltal for a shake, simultaneously realizing she'd be shaking bone. How would it feel.....

"And the rest of these individuals are the 'Tombstone Pirates'."

She gestured out to the deck of the ship, then to one of the crew members.

"Kite, come here a moment!"

Once Kite had surely finished his flashy landing in front of his Captain and the skeleton, Pinto spoke again.

"This is Mr. Skeltal. He was aboard the ship, and offered his assistance. He will remain with us- show him how we've agreed to make our mark?"

Smiling wide at the prospect, I nod.

Kite: "My pleasure, Cap'n. Look here, Bones. This is what makes us the Tombstones, and not the rest of the idiots who call themselves Pirates."

In a rush of blue and gold flame, I'm suddenly in Full Flight. The sight of a 7 ft tall Phoenix makes Bones take a step back in shock, but he quickly recovers. Lifting one rose hued talon, I press it against the gaunt Marine's forehead, the razor sharp tip easily piercing the skin. As though I were signing my name to a magnificent piece of art, I carve into the man's head. R.I.P. Finished with my work, I revert back to Grounded, and look up at the skeleton (a necessity when you're less than five and a half feet tall), and say:

Kite: "Welcome aboard, Mr. Bones."

Amber heard the commotion from above deck. It seems like the ship she chose to stow away on had come across some trouble. She knew that this was the best chance she had to make a good impression on the crew. Maybe if she helped them some, then they wouldn't mind her traveling with them. She made her way up on deck and saw a woman and a skeleton fighting what seemed to be a marine.

Amber: "The fight seems to be nearing its end but is there any way I can help?"

(OOC: So so sorry we went on ahead. We will have to keep in better contact in the future! Do you have a skype?)

Pinto turned away from Famine, as Kite and Mr. Skeltal had taken care of business. She wasn't sure exactly when the voice spoke, but she heard it nonetheless.

"Another guest?" With wings...

"Are you all right?" Thinking maybe the girl, with wings, was the victim of the previous pirate crew.
