[Is Nogale right now]

Nogale:*deep breath*....aaaahhhh.....

Ming:Nogale?

Nogale:Hello, Ming! How are you doing today?

Ming:I'm okay...what about you, you seemed worried or something before.

Nogale:Hadn't seen you in a while. Of course I was worried.

Ming:*Blushes* I can handle myself ya know.

Nogale:I know. You are not weak. But I cannot help but worry.

Ming:*Blushes* Awww, thank you Nogale.

Nogale:You're welcome, Ming.

Ming:So...watcha up to?

Nogale:Rippletail and Saltwhisker are trying to find the pearl they share. They lost it. I'm helping.

Ming:Would you like me to help? I could.

Thou shalt bow before me! 02:42, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Nogale:Sure. Just look for a cream-colored shiny sphere.

Saltwhisker:Hey, cap'n Nogale, is it possible someone found it an' took it?

Nogale:hmmmmm...Maybe.

Ming:Took it? Let me know if some-one did and I'll take care of them. *Rembers something, and pulls out phone* This is my 900IXJ iPhone, it comes with a jewel detector!, how....awkwardly convenient.

Saltwhisker:Nice! Y'don't see techno gadgetry like that 'un offen, do yer?

Nogale:Convenient indeed. Let's see if it works.

Ming:*Turns it on...*


 * (You should probably control the detector cause I don't know where it is.)

[the phone picks up a signal...Far above them]

Nogale:.....Strange.

Saltwhisker;*looks up* all I see is clouds...

Ming:*Looks up* Well the phone company promises that it is completely accurate.

Nogale:....Oh.

Saltwhisker:What? I don't see anythi-

[the pearl falls in his mouth]

Nogale:.....It's accurate.

Ming:Well, you got your pearl back ^_^!

Saltwhisker:*choking*

Nogale:Saltwhisker!*bends his head over the ground and taps him with the staff. The pearl falls out*

Saltwhisker:Th-th-thanks, c-c-cap'n...

Ming:So what is the pearl for?

Saltwhisker:*grabs it* Oh, it's jsut a bit of treasure. Personal treasure between me and Rippletail.

Nogale:Would you like to do something tonight, Ming.

Ming:*Blushes slightly and smiles* Sure, Nogale!

Nogale:What do you prefer doing?

Ming:It's up to you, I'm up for a lotta things.

Nogale:hmmm...I don't suppose I may take you down a canal? I have a small river boat for that.

Ming:Sure that would be great, I have a great kimono for such an occasion.

Nogale:*tilts hat* This hat is the type used for such ventures, by the rower. So I'm ready whenever you are.

Ming:*Just let me change into my Kimono and sure *Zaps herself with her iPhone, changing her outfit* also convenient.

[Nogale takes her hand and walks to a neabry canal. A small boat awaits]

Nogale:Ladies first.

Ming:*Kisses Nogale on the cheek and steps into the small boat* Thank you, Nogale.

Nogale;*controls blush and steps in. He uses the staff to row the boat* Lots of people do this because it's so peaceful and quiet.

Ming:Yeah, and it's such a beautiful day out.

Nogale:*looks at her* the beauty is magnified.

Ming:*Blushes* Oh me, nah, I'm pretty plain.

Nogale:In the eyes of another, you may be plain. In the eyes of some, you may be unattractive. In my eyes, however, you are quite beautiful

Ming:Thanks...I think. So where did you learn to row a boat?

Nogale:I just have a talent for the sea and water. It's wuite simple. Stick the staff in the bankmud, push, and the boat floats along.

Ming:Have any family?

Nogale:.....Good question.

Ming:*Caring/Sweet*You don't know?

Nogale:No, I don't. I wish I did, but my memory gets fuzzy when I try to remember that far back.

MIng:Oh, I'm sorry.

Nogale:Why are you apologizing?

Ming:I didn't mean to bring up a delicate subject.

Nogale:It's not your fault. You were just curious.

Ming:Um, Nogale, I have to tell you something...

Nogale:Yes?

Ming:I really like you...

Nogale:I like you too...

Ming:But it, may not just be you...I can understand if you hate me for it.

Nogale:Zero, Tattoo, and Meta-Fox. I have met all three.

Ming:You have? What happened?!

Nogale:I met Tattoo only briefly. Meta-Fox I helped, and wished him luck. Zero I sparred with, and also wished luck. I would have wished Tattoo luck, but I didn't get the chance. I bear no negative feeling torwards them.

Ming:Well that's good, I just wanted you to know that I liked you, okay?

Nogale:I know. And I appreciate that. It means a lot.

Ming:Me too.

Nogale:*smiles and takes a turn in the canal* this one goes on for a while. I'm heading torward the cherry trees. The petals will be in the water. It will be a pretty sight for you.

Ming:I love cherry blossoms! They remind me of my younger cousin Keiko, she loves growing Cherry Blossom trees.

Nogale:I'm glad. We're nearly there.

Ming:They are very beautiful flowers.

Nogale:*turns into the canal, the water is hidden by cherry petals* Here we are...

Ming:*Grabs one, and puts it in her hair* Wow...

Nogale:*looks at her* No wonder you like the flowers. It certainly makes you look much more beautiful.

Ming:*Blushes, and smiles* Thank you...

Nogale:I merely state a truth, Ming-Ming.

Ming:I hope I'm not ugly without it!


 * (Any theme songs come to mind for Mingale?)
 * (Hmmmm...NOt really....I'm not good at that kind of thing...Tell you what, I do have a lot of songs. I'll see what I can find)
 * (Okay)

Nogale:Impossible. You'd be beauiful any which way.

Ming:*Blushes* That's very sweet.

Nogale:You're quite welcome, Milady Ming.

Ming:*Giggles* So, how did you become a captain?

Nogale:...You know...I don't remember that either. I know that I've been in control of my ship for a long time...

Ming:Oh...so I guess we'll have to get your memory back.

Nogale:That would be interesting. Is there anywhere else I may take you?

Ming:*Stomach rumbles* There's that famous gut again...^_^'

Nogale:That is actually rather quiet compared to a ship of salty crew.

Ming:So wanna go out to eat?

Nogale:Sure. Where would you like to go, milady?

Ming:You can decide ^_^.

Nogale:Where would be fitting...I think there is a nice place over the bend here...Call themselves the soup stop.

Ming: Sounds good!

Nogale:*continues, and stops near an oriental-style place. Soup aroma emanate. Nogale takes her hand and leads her out of the boat*

Ming:Thank you!

Nogale:You are wuite welcome, Milady.

Ming:This place looks nice.

Nogale:Indeed it does. *enters, the soup aroma attacks the two*

Ming:*Smells the air* Mmmmmm, that smells delicious.

Nogale:Indeed. I come here often. They know me by now.

Ming:I've never been here before.

Nogale:*takes her hand and leads her to the counter* I hope you enjoy it.

Ming:Thanks, for this Nogale.

Nogale:My pleasure.

Ming:So what kind of soups do they have here?

Nogale:*smiles* You name it. They have it. The owner takes no small pride in this.

Ming:Even though my favorite food is ramen, a girl needs other things. Let's order.

Nogale:I think I'll get Sunset Port Salmon Soup.

Ming:Hmmm, I'll try some chowder soup.

[the cook nods and begins working on the soups with the aid of several Bardinals0

Kagimizu
Saltwhisker: Cap'n Nogale! We've reached the island!

Nogale:Land us, then, Saltwhisker. The smtih is an old freind. He'll be happy to see us.


 * (Kagi: Soo... when do I enter?)

(>.< ehehe....)

[As some of the crew members tie the ship down, Nogale heads torwards the smith's. Saltwhisker delegates between some crew members in delivering the rest]


 * (Kagi: ....?)

(I would guess they meet either on his way to the smith's or afterwards.)
 * (Kagi: Okay, but under what conditions?)

(What d'you mean by conditions? Excuse my ingorance, I'm not thinking as quickly as usual.)
 * (Kagi: How do they meet up? Run into each other on accident? Blind date? Janet trying to steal from Nogale, or vice-versa? Other?)

(Hmmm...where foes Janet work/live?)
 * (Kagi: I made her to be a match for Stormfur; I didn't think about details like that.)

(here's an idea. Saltwhisker will be selling the spices in the market. Maybe Janet comes by and Saltwhisker mentions Nogale, or Janet asks about who his captain is?)
 * (Kagi: Kay, that works.)

(Onwards, then!)

[Saltwhisker finishes setting up a spice stall, and lays them all out. He takes a deep breath]

Saltwhisker:Ah, I love all these smells.

[As he finishes up, a voluptuous foxrabbit wearing brown hotpants, knee-length boots, a white tube-top, and a red pirate's coat comes into sight.]

Saltwhisker:Yow...*bristes suddenly* hope she ain't a rival o' the cap'n...

Girl: *notices the stall, and walks over*

(saltwhisker is a scruffy pirate mouse with salt permanenlty encrusted on his whiskers)

Saltwhisker:*best mercantile grin* Hello, what may I do for you?

Girl: *leans over, looking at the spices while also showing off her chest* Hmm....

Saltwhisker:*thinking* ''Yow. She must be out to impress somebody... Lucky thing 'ol creaky 'nova' slicer ain't here...''

Girl: Sir?

Saltwhisker:*snaps back to attention* Er, yes? *thinking* ''you said "er"! That gives away you weren't giving full attention!''

Girl: *gives him a questioning look* I was going to ask what spices you have hear, but now I'm wondering just what you were paying attention to...

Saltwhisker:*ignores the last bit, moving on solidly* Well, the more common spices here are things like basil and rosemary, like y'do, but I managed to get some extremely spicy peppers in that box. Of course, if you're a slow-cooker, this wintermint might do for a chilled-yet-cooked flavor.

Girl: My, that's a bit of variety.

Saltwhisker:Cap'n Nogale always brings the best!

Girl: Captain Nogale?

Saltwhisker:Oh yes. Cap'n Nogale's a sort of merchant, sort of pirate. 'E knows how to manipulate the seas! We all look up to 'im.

Girl: *looks interested* A merchant and pirate, you say? Tell me more...

Saltwhisker:'E's somethin' of a legend to us. E's a black Tigeroan cat with white stripes, with a silver dragon quarterstaff. E' was in Chu-Nan, I believe the place is called, a little while ago. E' never lets us down, and we're always sailin' with a smile. Anything else?

Girl: Hmmmm... is he single and straight?

Saltwhisker:Been that way for all 'is life.

Girl: *smiles* Then can I meet him?

Saltwhisker:*chuckles* well, you won't be the first, I'll warn ye that. There was that one time... Oh... But then, that was kinda the cap'n's fault... Anyway, e's probably heading back to the ship, now.

Girl: Alrighty then, I'll make you a deal. Give me... 5 of each spice and lead me to your captain. *whispers* And I'll let you have a little peak.

Saltwhisker:*controls himself* er, no peek necessary. Asides, I 'ave to stay here. *points in the direction of the hsip* cap'n should be there...Rippletail can help ye...

Girl: Okay. Sure you don't want that peek in exchange for the spices?

Saltwhisker:*turns his attention to somebody passing by* Hoi, you there! Be ye a slow-cooker?

Girl: *uses a finger to turn his gaze back to her* You have a customer right now.

Saltwhisker:And if the guy had been a slow cooker, I'd have two. I'm used to doing it that way.

Girl: Well, we haven't settled our deal.

Saltwhisker:You wanted to know where the cap'n is. I get asked that every time we land. An' by now, e's at his ship, the ''Tressoul. ''

Girl: The other part of the deal.

Saltwhisker: Nothin' else I'm interested in aside from making some money offa the spices cap'n Nogale brought. That's me job as first mate.

Girl: Well, okay then.

Saltwhisker: Tressoul's at the dock. big Chinese galley-lookin' thing.

Girl: Thanks~ *walks off to the dock*

["big" doesn't do the Tressoul mercy. It is to boats what a mansion is to housing. Clearly seen on the prow is a mostly-black cat with a staff]

Girl: *whistles* Wowee...

[A sleek pirate otter walks by here, a bag of money over his shoulder, heading torwads the ship]

Girl: *notices him, and follows*

[After a few paces, the otter notices her, and half-turns to face her]

Otter: Well, now, what's a pretty girl like you doin' down in a place like this, mate?

Girl: *struts foward, swaying her hips* I heard about your captain, and he picqued my interest.

Otter:*laughs* Well, now, that's as good an explanation as any! I'm Rippletail, second only to Saltwhisker, saving for the cap'n of course.

Girl: So, you'll lead me to him~?

Rippletail:If'n you want me to, lass, I sure will. Jus' follow the ole' odder otter, haha! *continues walking to the ship*

Girl: *follows*

[Rippletail boards the ship, and puts the money down on the maindeck. Nogale walks up.]

Nogale:Exemplary, Rippletail. A good pull as usual. And who have you brought with you?

Girl: *smiles seductively, and struts over to right in front of Nogale* Why hello there~

Nogale:* Calm eyes and a calm smile dominate, unflickeringly* Good to meet you. I am Nogale, the captain of this ship. *extends his hand* And you would be?

Girl: My name's Janet~

Nogale:Indeed. Well, Janet, May I ask for what you need me?

Janet: *sexy giggle* Well, when I heard about you from your 1st Mate, I just had to meet you face-to-face~. *leans foward* You really picqued my interest~

Nogale:That happens a lot. Strangely, it's always Saltwhisker who sends them.

Rippletail:At least this time it's a pretty liddle lass. Remember that one time, with the perfume incident?

Nogale: Ah, yes... I believe you still pass that around during night watch to relieve the boredom.

Janet: Oh~? What's this incident~?

Rippletail:changes every time he tells it...

Nogale: I was delivering a rather large load of perfumes to a princess some time ago. It was all going rather well, actually, and she wasn't unattractive as such, but you could tell she was vain.

My side of the story was better...

Nogale:At any rate, she apparently liked me. Then one of the bottles leaked, and what I smelled must surely have been dead fish or worse.

even creaky 'nova' slicer laughed....

Nogale: I commented on this, and she...took it personally. We were under a chandelier. She said if I kissed her, she'd forget about it, but that smell was still in my nose.

he never laughs, really...

Nogale: The chandelier chose this opportune moment to break and fall, soaking her in the perfume. Knowing nothing would save it now, I said I wouldn't kiss a fish. Went badly from there, though my memory is fuzzy.

Janet: *sexy, melodic laugh* That's so funny~

[to the observant, Nogale's ear just barely twitches]

Nogale:And yet it cut off a trade route. I was warned that if I ever went back there, I'd be hit by so many dead fish I'd be married to one by the end.

Janet: *laughs again*

(11:40 for me, now. you're two hourds and ten minutes behind meh.)

Nogale: Ah well. The past is as the future shall lead.

Janet: *giggles* Should I pretend that I understood that?

Nogale:Probably not. I didn't understand it either. *chuckles, and walks along the ship to the wheel*

Janet: *struts along behind him, humming a melodic tune*

[As Saltwhisker boards, Nogale's voice switches from calm to powerful as he bellows commands to the crew]

Nogale:Alright, everyone! Prepare to sail out! Hoist the anchor up and sever the ties!

Janet: *walks up behind him, pressing her chest against his back* Hey cap'n, you forget you have a guest on board~

Nogale:This is true, but from the look of you and the fact you sought me out after hearing only Saltwhisker's opinion, I don't think you'll mind much.

Janet: *seductive tone* Well, maybe you could stick around? Just in case that you and I don't "click", so then I don't have to swim back? *cutesy voice* Pwease?

Nogale: Hmm... RIPPLETAIL!

Rippletail:Aye, cap'n?

Nogale: See to it something clicks somewhere. *with that, Nogale walks off the raised area for the wheel, chuckling to himself again*


 * (Kagi: Explanation?)

Janet: Very funny captain. And by the way...

(the raised area bit? Ah, It's just the doulbe set of stairs leading up to the wheel, below them the captain's waurters. the front of the ship. A classic style.)
 * (Kagi: I meant the "See to it something clicks somewhere." What does that mean?)

Nogale: Yes?

(Just Nogale's joke. it doesn't mean anything in particular. he becomes somewhat unstable a few days before a personality shift.)

Janet: *pinches her tube-top, and pulls at it* A single inch was between you and the D-cup breasts against your back just a moment ago. *lets go of her top, letting it snap back in place. She smiles seductively*

Nogale:I know that. *smiles just a bit wider* But to me, thought comes before action. *his smiles disappears, for the first time since she's seen him* I... think... *continues walking*

[At this, she sees worried looks and glances at watches all among the crew]

Janet: Hmmm?


 * (Kagi: Can't you postpone the change so she can get to know Nogale better?)

(I'm afraid I can't. The best I can say is that if things go very positvely to his merchant side, he'll stay Nogale.)

Rippletail:*mutters* too soon...*to janet* If ye want to leave now, miss, the ship hasn't left dock. Ye may want to.

Janet: And why would that be?

Rippletail: *unnerved greatly* In about, I'd say, three days, there're going to be.... complications, with cap'n Nogale. It's between him and his crew, and if you were still 'ere, we'd just have to keep you in the galley 'til it....blew over.

Janet: Hey, I happen to be able to handle myself in situations. You know that unruly Brigun fella in town?


 * (Kagi: Just some character I came up with for a comparison; think bull-elephant having a bad day basically.)

Rippletail:Yeah, I know 'im. But this ain't that kind of situation, lass.

Janet: Hmph; you hear those stories of someone breaking several of his bones, making him cry for his mommy, and giving him a literal blow to his manhood?

Rippletail:This ain't a violent or physical situation, lass! Nnow that might be useful if we were boarded, inf fact it's a pretty good general ability, but not for this!

Janet: What I'm saying is that this "lass" can handle herself plenty well.

Rippletail:Nevertheless, lass, it isn't for you.

Janet: Hmph! *walks after Nogale*

[She finds him in his captain's quarters, in s trancelike state of concentration over a map, planning a route]

Janet: *struts up behind him* The brave captain looking at where to lead his crew?

Nogale:Hm? *doesn't take his concentration off the chart*

Janet: *walks up behind him* You seem to be rather stressed...

Nogale:Malaria might be in the area....

[Janet presses her body against his back, and starts massaging his shoulders]

[Nogale relaxes slightly, though he still only seems half-aware of thiings around him]

Janet: *keeps massaging, her chest pressed against his back*

Nogale:*slowly, scratches a crosswind symbol in between a few islands that the route takes*


 * (Kagi: Isn't he supposed to get hot n' bothered?)

(he's only partially aware that anyone's even in the room. At the moment.)

Janet: *massages more firmly*

Nogale:*as if routinely, he takes off his hat and sets it onto latches in the wall, and sets his quarterstaff below it. Then he blinks as he becomes aware of Janet*

Janet: *continues*

Nogale:Janet? What... *barely blushes*

Janet: Something wrong~? *keeps going*

Nogale:N-no, I...no.

Janet: Okay~ *keeps going*

Nogale:*Uncertain of what to say next, blushing*...

Janet: *keeps massaging*

Nogale:...Why?

Janet: Hm~?

Nogale:I've had people pursue me before. I'm curious as to why you are.

Janet: *giggles* Because something about you seems quite interesting~

Nogale:Indeed...

Janet: You're classy, strong, and authorative~ Buuut, there seems to be something else underneath~...

Nogale:Possibly a fuzzy memory?

Janet: Not quite~ *keeps massaging*

Nogale:...*closes his eyes* You're quite strong... I can feel that...

Janet: Thank you~

Nogale:What do you do, usually?
