"Then I hope he do." From her point at the front of the restaurant, Esme was similarly bored-- the only difference was that there were people here to give her funny looks. She certainly wasn't dressed appropriately if she wanted to go inside, and loitering around tended to indicate trouble of some sort. She ignored it. "You see her picture? She'n him'd look great togethers."

She, too, was unimpressed by the music. Savage appeared to be a different story. "Knowin' him, he'd just have her singin' to him all nights 'r somethin." She paused, considering this. "Sounds awf'lly borin, but they's still a cute couple."

OOC:Actually, I think everything transmits at once, like a 3-way phone call... So, he can hear everything xD


Savage blushed heavily, and spat at his mic, "Oh my God, you two... Oh my friggin' God!" He rubbed his temples. "You do know I heard every last word of that, right? Jeez... Well... The song's ending, here I go..."

True to his word, he flipped up onto the stage deftly. Layla raised an eyebow, but did not move from the piano bench. "Well," she sighed, "I don't suppose you left me anywhere to run this time, so you can just take me..."

"H-how did you...?"

She smiled softly. "You're wired, and you've got a gun in a shoulder holster."

Savage laughed nervously. "Guilty as charged. Well then, if you'll be so kind as to come along..."

They dissapeared backstage through the curtains, Layla dragging along her guitar in its hard case.

"Well guys, that was easy," Savage said into his mic. "Target has been captured."

Layla shrugged. "I only came along because there were a few guys in the audience from the old gang... if I would have stayed any longer, they would have come after me. I'd rather take my chances with some stranger than with them, after... After what happened."

Savage asked, "What happened?"

Layla smiled gently. This one has a good heart, she thought. "I would rather not say..."

"Oh..."

They came out the back door, where Riley was still lurking. "It does stink really bad back here," Savage remarked.

"Go ahead and turn me in or whatever..." Layla sighed, head hanging down.

"No!! I'm not gonna let that happen!" Savage said, flailing about. "That's cruel, whatever you did can't possibly deserve whatever they're gonna do to you!" He looked at Riley suspiciously. "The sloths may want to sell you off, but I won't let them!!"

You're very enthusiastic, Layla thought, But do you have any way to back that up? Oh well, your heart's in the right place, mister. I understand. Good thing I've got that money from my performances, still--maybe if I give it to this Riley, they won't turn me in.

"Yes, decidedly boring. You're right though, they'd be adorable." Riley was surprised when Savage suddenly announced the capture.

"What? Already? No chase even?" He was about to say something else when Savage came waltzing out the door. Mouth still open, he watched as Savage single-handedly ruined Riley's hopes for a fresh cup of coffee. Closing his mouth at last after Savage finished his heroic speech, Riley rolled his eyes and ran his hand down his face. Looks like I won, Riley mused mentally, taking a good look at Layla. He then suddenly walked up close to her, a look of concern in his eyes. Gently, he cupped her cheek in his hand, lifting her chin so he could look into her eyes.

"Dear, sweet young lady, are you alright?" Riley spoke a believable concerned that matched the expression in his eyes. "That brute did not harm you did he? He is known for sweeping innocent girls off their feet only to take advantage of them.... Pray, tell me! I will protect you from his villainy!"

Esme had begun to head to the back as soon as Savage announced the capture. He would not, she reasoned, lead a captive girl out the front door.

She was met with more grime than she'd expected. The biggest piece of grime was currently standing with his hand on the bounty's cheek. She had missed what he'd said-- but, knowing him, she thought, smirking, she thought she could guess the nature of his comments. "Hey," she said to Savage, passing Riley without so much as a second glance, "you gonna turn her in or what? I want some new clothes."

OOC: Since I still have to think carefully about what the heck I'm going to do on pirates, I'll just post again here X3


Riley looked deep into Layla's eyes, bringing his other hand up and placing it gently on her other cheek. He leaned in close... then suddenly winked and pulled away. "Juuuust kidding," he said, spinning around in an almost child-like manner with his arms spread wide until he faced towards Savage. On his face was a similarly child-like grin, and he laced his hands together behind his back as he continued towards Savage.

"Yeah, me too," Riley added, ignoring Esme just as she had him. He deserved it, of course, while she didn't yet. Still, that never stopped either of them before. "Since you're not going to wash my other clothes, I might as well get some of those nice silk shirts. Oh yeah! and shoes. I need new shoes." With Radley, it was easy to just assume that he was joking when he spoke like this. Unfortunately, when it came to clothes he could sound very much like a girl. That's what happens when your mom was a supermodel, as he says. Fortunately, however, he was more than flirtatious enough to avoid accusations of being gay.

OOC: I figured, based on his very out-going extrovert-type personality so far, if he is to have a great sense of style when he wants to like I put in his bio, he would be like that every now and then XD;

PS: Session idea... the quartet goes shopping! XD

OOC:LIKE, oh my gawd! What, like, a totally awesome idea!

XD, just kidding. But seriously, that'd be funny. I can see Riley sifting through the lingerie section.


Esme turned to Riley and gave him a playful shove. "Silk shirts?" she repeated, shaking her head. "I was thinkin' more like silk scarves, actually. Less painful'n handcuffs, 'n they works just 's well." She threw a sidelong glance at Layla. The fact that Savage was no longer the only one to embarrass urged her on. "B'sides, 'f you gets anythin' too nice, it'll only get ruint when I'm rippin' it off'a you."

OOC:XD I like the way you dodged the gay comments. XP Cheater.

Layla blushed, and laughed awkwardly, not thinking of anything to say. Her eyes got wider than usual. "Err..."

Savage reacted in much the same way, shaking his head and saying, "Stop it! That's freaking disgusting!" He was being kind of a hypocrite because Layla was around--when in the right mood, he too would get in on the innuendo action...

"W-well," Layla said, "I know you need money, so..."

Savage shook his head, "We're not turning you in."

She looked at him straight in the eyes. "You won't, but the loud ones will."

Savage blushed and looked down. "Well, er..."

"It's okay," Layla said, "I've got what I made from the recent shows on me. It's far more than that stupid bounty on me." She opened her guitar case, and picked some bills out of a crack near the side. There was a lot of stuff crammed in there besides the guitar, from a roll-out piano to an antique CD player and headphones to extra strings.
Layla handed the money to Savage, and he nearly fainted.

"O-one hundred and seventy-five thousand Woolong!!"

Layla smiled softly. "I make a modest living."

"No shit!!"

"I only ask one thing in return: to stay on your ship for a while."

OOC:Woolong amount: about $1,400

At the mention of the money, Esme's head turned sharply toward Layla. "A hundred and... and... 's you kiddin' me? This girl's loaded!" She grinned, grabbing Riley's arm excitedly, all but jumping up and down with glee. "So if y'add that to the bounty, that's more'n two hundred thousand Woolong!" She cackled in delight. "Take the money 'n turn 'er in!" she exclaimed, certain that Savage had simply not been in his right mind when he'd said what she thought he'd said before. Or maybe she'd just heard him wrong. They were definitely turning her in.

"B-but I..." Layla said, looking quite pitiful. "Please don't..."

Savage stepped between Layla and the others. "Look, you are not turning her in. I won't let you."

"Thanks," Layla sighed, smiling shakily.

"You're welcome, I guess," Savage said. He hoped that the sloths would just give up already...

OOC: Yes, I worded it very carefully, just for you ;)


Riley looked crestfallen at Savage's stubbornness. He looked sadly towards Esmeralda, sharing the disappointment. When he got this way, there was usually no getting around it. At least, not quickly. Still, he wasn't completely discouraged. There's always a way around adversity, he mused. "Fine, you can not let us turn her in for now," he said, looking at Savage out of the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he made a heroic leap and snatched the money out of Savage's hand, shoved it in his jacket pocket, then ran around behind Esme -- perhaps to hide.

"But we get to keep the money." Riley looked positively mischievous as he peeked out from behind Esme's shoulder. After a brief pause, he stood up, hooked his arm through hers and started to walk out of the alley. "Come, my love, we have silks and... 'things' to purchase." Then, in a very hushed whisper, he leaned in to her ear and said, "We can always turn her in later if she gets boring -- If you know what I mean." He'd been tempted not to add that last bit, just keep it serious. But, he was whispering in her ear and it was Esme -- there was no way he could resist.

"Fine," Savage sighed. "Take the money. But she stays, and she's staying on the ship. Well, okay, provided she halps in some way. I may be a big softy, but there's only so far even I will go..."

Layla nodded. "Thanks, I understand! I'll be sure to help out the best I can!!" She pledged. She then hugged him, very grateful for a home.

"Aww, uh, thanks," Savage said, turning bright red.

They stayed that way for a few more seconds than what would be considered acceptable...

Savage patted her head. "A-all right, all right, jeez." She let go, and stood on her tip-toes to whisper something in his ear. "I know that they won't share, they're going to go buy their clothes and you won't have any money for food. And then they'll blame you for that, won't they?"

He nodded.

"How horrible. Well, we can go shopping! I have some money left, and I've been wanting to bake for forever...!"

Savage didn't say anything, but smiled lightly. "Hey, we're going to go attempt to go scrounge for food on what's left of my money," he said to the sloths, "Meet you back at the ship after you get your-" here he stopped to cover up Layla's eyes, and mouthed 'sex toys.' He then rolled his eyes.

OOC:LOL, baking <3 This episode's nearly over, actually! After they all get back to the ship and leave, I'd call it over. The episode where poor Savage gets sick comes next, methinks :D

Esme half-turned, still holding Riley's arm, and stared at Savage and Layla in open disgust. "God," she muttered, turning back to Riley. "Knowin' Savage, he ain't never gonna do anythin' more'n hug 'er." A brief frown at this apparent waste of an opportunity passed over her face, and then she perked up again. "But he's definitely fell for her," she said brightly, her signature grin threatening to split her face in two.

"So that means you owes me a French, right?"


OOC:Aaaand... shall we go ahead and end the session, so we don't actually have to rp all the shopping and getting to the ship and such? Or did someone want to post a better session-finishing line?
