Posted on the dock, near Eliza was a poster, set up by the Lady Pirates, inviteing young girls to cabin boy for a "tradeing ship" Perhaps Eliza could see this as her way out? The poster gave specific directions that included where the captain of the good ship "Vallor" would be to meet and "interview" possible young ladies for the position of cabin "boy".
Captain Erin O'Riley rocked back and forth on her heels. No one had shown up as of yet....

Eliza looked up at the poster."My ticket." she thought.She ripped it off and headed for the harbor.She quickly found the ship.She climbed on and demanded to see the captain.She was brought to her."May I introduce Captain Erin O'Riley" they said and shut the door behind Eliza.

Erin O'Riley had her intimidating black boots propped up on desk in her quarters. She inspected the girl with her good eye. "Lass," she said, looking Eliza over, "Ye understand what type o' ship this be?" O'Riley had a heavy irish accent.

"Of course.It's a pirate ship.Just what I need to get out of this god forsaken place," she said,"I for sure have the qualifications.I've killed a man.I stole money.And I have people after me"

Erin cocked an eyebrow. "Well," she said, showing no emotion. "Per'aps sum work'll do ye good. Ever been on a ship before?"

Erin shook her head. "Ye might 'ave some trouble at first, but yer me only applicant. Welcome aboard Lass, now go see Bess. She'll give ye orders, and 'elp ye ter swab the decks an' what not. She be the cook. Ask one o' the ladies outside where she be." The captain looked down at some maps, a clue to ELiza that she should get out.

The cook looked up from a bottle of brandi she'd been cradleing like it was a baby. "Aye?" she asked.

"A new cabin Boy then?" The cook asked, but didn't wait for an answer. "Yer a bit scrawny for me taste, but I ain't picky. Yer task fer th' most part'll be cleanin'. Tha' means ye'll be swabbin'. Ye'll also be 'elpin' me around th' kitchen, an' ye'll go an' buy me ingreedients when we be on land. I be pretty noticeably out in public." She tapped her peg for infasis. "Ain't nuthin more obvious tha' a pegleg when yer tryin to blen in with 'em lubbers." She winked at the girl. "'Ow are ye with a knife lass?"

Bess grinned, bearing a set of almost perfect teeth (excludeing the three missing). "Me dear," she said, almost cruely, "Ain't no need to brag. I've kilt several (they don' call me Bloody Bess fer nothin'), and ye ain't seen me tellin' ever'one. Infact, lass, I suggest keepin' tha' quiet. Ye never know what back stabbers might turn ye in." She slapped the girl's back. "Welcome aboard!" she yelled heartilly, and leaned over to add. "Any one gets on yer bad side, come 'n tell ol' Bessie, She'll set 'em straight." The pirate pulled a hooded cape from a hanger near the stairs, and dawned it. "Now," she said, "for yer first mission: Ye'll be 'companyin' me ter town. Ye're new, an' I don't want ye messin' up me grocery list." Her cloak covered her pegleg well enough. "Ye may need sumthin' ter cover ye too," the cook adviced, as she began to walk (as best as she could with her peg) towards the stairs. "We don't need another cabin boy ter die just coz she's recognized as a crook." She laughed, and began climbing the stairs.

She saw a cloak and picked it up carrying it with her."I don't beleive I was bragging.It was carved into my mind at a young age that killing was a sin.I'm Elizabeth by the way.I'll basicly anwser to any nickname for that.Liz,Lizzie,Eliza,Beth,or El." she said,"And when you said scrawny this corset gives me a 12 inch waist line when I have an 18 inch one.

Bess shrugged. "Eliza then," Bess said, with a nod, as she waved to the lookout on board, and climbed down the ramp to the dock. "An', on corsets are the devil's work," she added with a laugh.
