[Kalypso]

Kalypso stared out across the waves watching the sunset. The seasons were changing. A cool wind blew in from the north signaling winters coming. Winters in Tortuga were usually mild, the temperatures dropping lower than she was used to but it wasn't unbearably freezing. She wanted what the leaf bare season would be like in the other packs. Wondered how they would fair the loss of prey that'd chosen to migrate to warmer climates.. They'd all need friends this winter. 

But she couldn't keep up this pace of traveling from pack to pack herself. She needed more Navigators so she could divide out the work and get things done faster. The sun was obscured behind scattered clouds on the horizon and the light it cast across the sky was breath taking to the Wayfinder. Beautiful hues of violet and indigo highlighted with pastel shades of pink. 

She may wander near and far but THIS.. this was home. 

There wasn't a sight like this anywhere else in the world. She was almost loathe to turn away from it but she had work to do. Kalypso headed into the night, making her way towards the same spot she'd held her last call at. Just outside the Blind Watchman. Throwing back her head she let out a howl to summon her Navigators and those who wished to become one. 

They'd lost a lot of packmates lately. Too many for Kalypso. It hurt her heart to see the way Tortuga had dwindled. But the bethrothals would bring in new life! Their allies were great and numerous and that was why her job was so important! Even though things looked rough right now they would get better soon. She had faith in her Captain and in her fellow crew. Mother nature and its forces had tried to wipe Tortuga out time and time again and failed every time. 

The Tortuga was strong and they could withstand anything. They were a tough, cutt-throat group of pirates, most of whom had been through hell and back. This was nothing. 

The Wayfinder took her seat and awaited her fellow Navigators patiently. She wasn't as nervous as she was the last time she'd called them to her. Kally had taken notes during her fathers announcement and made sure to keep herself calm. Her short little tail shifted restlessly in the sand behind her and she had to concentrate to stop it until it obeyed. Lifting her chin a little she put on a polite but hopefully professional looking smile and welcomed everyone in with a warm nod and a soft murmur.

When she was certain that the last straggler had shown up she let out a heavy breath and began, "Evenin', I've called you all here tonight because I want to know who wants to become a Navigator and who wants to stay a Navigator. I want to discuss our alliances and get each of your thoughts on how where you might like to go visit and why. For those of you who are new to the Navigators, what makes you think you'd be a good Navigator?" She let her eyes trail over the crowd, noting faces, "Why do you want to do it?" Kally wanted to know if they had a passion for it or if they just wanted to do it to fill the void in the life. Did they just want to help out or did they just want the chance for a change in scenery? Would they take it seriously or treat it like a joke? So many questions not enough time. 

OOC Note: This also doubles as a volunteer list for the people who want to go on trips to Alteron and Saboro

[Aysu.]

Aysu took a deep breath, allowing her bi colored eyes to drift lazily around her hut. Finally she was caught up on everything she needed to do. Necklaces and tail ornaments hung from pegs around the hut, furs ready for trade stacked in the corner, and some new leather bags lay nearby. Turtle shell bowls with ingredients for dyes and tattoo inks lay around, showing off the rainbow of ingredients available to her. Bowls that humans had left behind lined one wall, each of them filled with different items for crafting; seashells, feathers, stones, and wooden beads. All in all she was quite proud of the space and soon she could show it the Captain and hopefully gain permission to start her own shop, open for the pirates to trade their strips for trinkets.

A small smile curved the edge of her lips when the call reached her ears. Her other job was waiting. With a shake of her pelt and a long yawn, Aysu set out to meet Kalypso. The sun was setting over the sea and although the purple girl was cautious of the waters, she couldn't deny the beauty of a sunset on the beach. The colors were inspiring and deep down she wondered how she might go about collecting the colors in nature to mirror what she saw in the sky. Her eyes drifted down to the simple vine string that wrapped around her right fore paw, a bit of blue green stone and a small golden bead reminded her of other colors she sought to collect...

With a little chuckle she pushed the memory aside, focusing instead on the feel of the sands beneath her paws and the sea breeze that rustled her head scarf. The obsidian dagger at her chest swung with every step and soon she could see Kalypso at their meeting place. Aysu joined her silently, nodding respectfully as she took a place nearby and watched as the others filed in as well. Kalypso spoke, and Aysu nodded once more.
I'll be staying," she said, allowing the others to state their purpose for being here. Something deep down itched to be out of Tortuga and to see the lands beyond. This place would always be home and no matter how much adventuring she might crave, she knew where she would always return.
