(Luna: Let me see what you have! : Min and Bastien: A knife! : Luna: NO!)

Min wandered down under the decks until she found Shaw, and decided to sit down next to him. "Hey there. Bastien and I have a plan for some fun, you in?"

(lmao yes)

Meanwhile Bastien got sidetracked in the kitchen while looking for Archer. He couldn’t help but notice how delicious the apples looked, so he grabbed one and took a big, juicy bite out of it. It couldn’t hurt to have a little snack while looking for Archer.

(Of course! Thanks for telling me :) )

Cassius strutted among his grand, marble-framed mansion with haste; his waterfalls of jewels dripping down his neck, shirt glimmering in the moonlight, and his hill of furs stacked on top of himself was a mound of opulence and wealth. Success was favorable to him and Cass relished in that fact with his resting smug smile. His glass heels clicked quicker down the hallway until a sudden turn to the gilded stairways that flowed down into the lobby below. There held four strangers on the floor of the velvet and gold cavern. “Hello fools, lovely seeing you all this evening. Now who exactly are you potato-sack-appearing cockroaches and what brought you here?” his smooth, articulate voice chirped to the beings below.

Name: Faust
Nicknames: N/A
Age: 20
Gender/Pronouns: Trans Man; He/Him
Sexuality: Questioning
Job on Ship: Medic
Kingdom of Origin: Jade
Appearance: https://imgur.com/a/qmHNQtR
Usual Outfit: A loose-fitting, linen shirt with various, dubious stains; a pair of standard cotton pants with copious amounts of holes; and worn leather bracers, boots, and a belt with a buckle of brass. He isn't fond of his current fashion and dreams of getting a tailored doublet, but it’ll do for now.
Preferred Weapons: A pair of flintlock pistols, a dagger tied to his sides, and two very small pouches of powdered green and purple crystals in undisclosed locations.
Preferred Crystal: Purple and, for medical reasons, green
Personality: Faust is best described as an intelligent but tired smiling cynical bastard that uses comedy to disguise his discontent and insecurities from others. Flippant and skeptical he is with beings he views as authority and/or powerful, but, even though he may first come off as careless, he reveals himself to be deeply caring and compassionate towards others.
Background: He hasn't elaborated much of what happened before he joined the crew. Somewhat told them this narrative; he was a combat medic that worked for seven years, and right before coming aboard he had a near death experience. Other than that, nothing else is really commented on.
Other?: Anything about being near the Jade kingdom will freak him the fuck out. His scent is a bit foul. Faust is a newer crew member so he isn’t totally used to everyone quite yet. He also has a love for knowledge and philosophy; he could talk about it for hours.

Faust emerged into the upper deck like an imp from hell while being slapped by the bright sun. His eyes winced and commented, "Wow, thank you sun, exquisite." Squinting at the other crew members, he asked with a cheery grin, "Who is ready to get their valuables stolen?"

“Ah, Faust, we still got a day to go,” Emery chuckled. They kept their eyes ahead of them as they spoke. “I don’t know Captain, do you want to take over the helm while I go check on Min and Bastien? Or would you be willing to go down there yourself?”

"I'll take the helm," Luna responded going to take the helm from Emery so that they can go down and check on the two trouble makers. She glanced to Fraust with a slight quirk of a smile. "Or perhaps Faust would like to go check on them."

Bastien finished off his apple and went to look for someone he could persuade to join in his party. It would be so much more interesting with other people.

hi :) i heard about this from @Tired-but-passionate and saw there was a spot open? mind if I join?)

oh dude thanks- give me a sec and I can give you one-)

(Nikkō woke up from sleeping in the cell next to Jones and was embarssed for about five seconds that he fell asleep on Jones shoulder until he released that he wasn't in the cell anymore, he couldn't even see his own body it was like he was invisible. He watched Jones approach (name I can't remember) and then attack them and kill them and then saw him leave- it cut to him watching himself be asleep while Jones confessed, he was trying to scream but he couldn't make any noise and then he heard Jones say the three words he never thought anyone would ever say to him. "I love you" he saw Jones being pulled into to be executed and watched himself wake up but then he merged with the one watch Jones and when Jones stopped playing the drums and instead of grabbing at the rope on his throat he reached out his hand towards nikkō. He got up and ran for Jones crying out for him and he just ran right into a wall, it turned into a mirror and he was surrounded by mirrors all relfecting his terrified self and then showing him on the mirror and showing Jones death over and over and over again until he cried out for it stop and closed his eyes and all the mirrors broke and the floor broke and everything caved in as he fell through the floor and landed on something warm and squishy. He looked down to see what he landed on and it was Jones dead body his face frozen in hurt and pain. He quickly scrambled off of it and away from it and and ran into another and another and another and he couldn't escape them. He back too far and fell off a cliff into pitch darkness, he was all alone. Then Genevieve and Jones appeared, his sister appeared as well. But when he tried to go to one of them they just gave him a disappointed look and faded away and he was all alone again.
He sat alone crying in the darkness he stopped begging for it to stop. Suddenly a a hand was placed on his shoulder and started rubbing his back and embracing him. He opened his eyes and looked over seeing Jones dead corpse, drumstick through the stomach and rope tied to his neck choking him out and he looked down and there was Jones blood covering his hands and his clothes and his whole body.)

"Anticipation for the day we get all our goods stolen, I see. I hope the tragedy is as cinematic as promised," Faust commented, his hand making a shady roof for his eyes. "Hmm? Min and Bastien being suspicious? Scared that they will do something funny? I guess I could go, but I'd say two are better than one. Emery, are you alright with coming with me?"
