Island Rubeck Island

[Marin]

Marin was on the ship belonging to the pirate crew called the Devil Tides pirates. As a new recruit, she hadn't met too many of the crew members yet or if there were any female members. She hoped that her mink powers would help her with whatever business on this island this crew had. With Shepard's crook in hand, she approached the person whom she thought was in charge of the operation.

"Marin Baan reporting for duty, Captain! What would you have me do?" The shy sheep mink asked politely while saluting to the captain. She was definitely ready for anything with her Aries Style Ram Fu and Electro abilities that were going to be put to the test.

The young mink wore a blue shirt with a Ram's head facing the front and matching pants with her white tri-cornered hat that bore her name "MARIN" in blue letters. Her sheep horns and ears poked out of the hat. She waited for the captain or whoever was in charge to speak.

Marin went with Ranger and sighed. "So, what is my role in all this?" She asked Ranger. "I don't want us to get caught and have to fight our way into other levels. Anyone know what we are after here?" She asked quietly.

Marin continued to follow Ranger close by to cover in case any of the un-welcoming committee show up. "I'll be ready when you give the word. No one will expect me to be able to defend myself. Minks have a natural ability unique to them called Electro. Must be because of the static build up in our fur. Another ability is the Sulong form. This form is only unlocked during a visible full moon. Our eyes turn red, and our fur grows out. Once the full moon is hidden by the clouds or entering a building that we cannot see the full moon, we lose that power and return back to our base form. I am planning to develop new defense attacks with my Ram Fu. Mostly kicks, punches, and maybe head butting."

She waits for the signal to begin her part of the plan. "I have a knapsack to store the items you want from this mission. Once secure and away on our ship, we can give them to the captain to examine."

Marin is still following Ranger closely, keeping up surprisingly well. Her eyes continue to scan the area for any suspicious activity.

"You think these guys are onto us? I would assume they were watching us when we disembarked from our ship." She says cautiously. She hopes that the Major and the other crew members had a game plan when it came to engaging the enemy combatants. She wanted to know more about how her crew operated and how she would fit in. She willed herself to be on alert and prepare at a moment's notice. She was nervous as a sheep in a den of wolves, but she wasn't helpless; she had her Ram Fu, taught by her ancestors, starting with her great-grandfather, Duke Genghis Baan. She learned these skills from her father, Aram Baan.

Marin nodded and got into position as Ranger instructed. She steadied herself and prepared for her part in her team's mission. "I'll be ready as I can be." she tapped her comm to be prepared for Major's signal to attack any of the guards who got suspicious.

"Just say the word, and It will be done!" She said to Ranger and Major.

As Marin neared the vegetable stalls, her stomach growled. She glanced behind her shoulder to spot the two men following her. She sighed. "Just great! I have two suspicious men following me from a distance. What do I do?" She muttered to herself.

She knew her plan in all this. She looked over at some vegetables in the market stall to make small talk with the shop keepers while keeping the two mafia-themed goons at a distance from her. Eventually. they would make a mistake, and she would have to defend herself.

"Boss, two of those mafia guys have been following me for some time. What should I do?" She whispered, addressing Ranger over her mini-Din Din Mushi device. "I was going to ask the captain, but she's busy. I don't like fighting too much, but when you got unknown guys following you, I feel I am owed at least an explanation."

Marin continued to browse the shops and bought food from one of the vegetable and fruit stands to keep up appearances. She bought carrots and a head of lettuce, as well as a canteen of water. She kept a wary eye on those who were tailing her, waiting for the signal from Major or Ranger if the situation arose. All she waited for was the pre-arranged signal. She wasn't as defenseless as those who observed her movements thought. She would show these thugs she was more than a cute face in the crowd. Her family heirloom: her staff, was still in her possession and would wield it when the situation called for it.

She looked around for signs of Artoris, Ranger, and Major. They all had their parts to play in this operation, and so did she. She went over the plans while they were on the ship during one of the captain's parlays with her crew. She was ready for anything. Just needed to be patient and trust her crew.
