Maid For Hire

Aye, We'll be boarding in Yotsuba's Docks soon girly. Might wanna start gettin ready if ya getting off A heavy voice wafted on the winds but did not fall to deaf ears. " Oh! Thank you, I nearly forgot. " Another voice in response to the first, this one lighter and sweeter much like cotton candy and coming from none other than Rosemary herself. The young blue haired maiden had long set sail from east blue, she didn't know where she was going she just paid a man to take her anywhere that her beli would go. In all honesty she didn't expect to end up wherever she was, but from where she stood it looked like a good place to set up shop for awhile. In these long days and short nights it seemed all she was doing was following the wind wherever it took her, but not without leaving her name behind in the process. For a long time she had thought about what it would take to achieve her goals and it hit her that word of mouth was the best course of action.

It didn't take long after the captain's announcement that they arrived onto the docks. Rosemary would grab her little sack of clothing and thanked the man once more before she headed off of his boat and into another new land. She still had a little beli left and decided that her next course of action would be buying some ingredients and start cooking, that way she could flip her money selling her food.  " I should get a bit more information about this town really..Would hate to be on the wrong side of the law. " Her voice retained it's light sweetness but it was more of a whisper to herself than an outright proclamation. It didn't take long before she was speaking with the locals. Most of them seemed genuinely nice and she learned that this Island was mostly occupied by marines. This didn't bother Rosemary, as she never had an issue with them so she was safe from them until she did something to screw herself.

It was nothing to get along with the residents of the island. She offered her services to the elderly, who happily accepted her and the fair charges she dished out. It was on one particular run to the store that she noticed for the first time a man as if he were on the verge of death , strapped to a cross with tattered clothing. Her heart instantly went out to him but as if she were being watched a voice rang out stopping any plans she might of had. " That man is a dirty pirate.. He still has twenty-five days before he is a free man, if you did anything to disturb that young lady, you'd be condemning him to death." Turning to face a man dressed in Marine blue she knew to hold her tongue but something in her could not accept this. " This truly is barbaric." Her words slipped from her lips and the marine got closer to her. " Now I could take you somewhere with a better atmosphere if you would like?" Rosemary could smell his breath, it was thick and heavy with the scent of alcohol. With the most polite decline that she could muster her body began to move from him, but it didn't get far as she felt a grip on her arm. words slipped from her lips and the marine got closer to her. "Are you denying me? A marine? Do you wanna end up like that sap up there?" His grip tightened around her arm and she found herself shaking her head. She wasn't even on this island for a day and already she was in trouble. Her mind churned as she thought of what to do to get out of the situation but she couldn't think and all she thought to do was kick this man dead in his sack. This of course she would not carry out and so she began to cry. What a weak woman she was but she wasn't about to go against a marine.

Damsel in Distress

All hope was lost. She wasn't about to fight off a marine and had already decided to just give in and go with him. The lowly winged creature shuffled closer to the marine who was a man towering over her by at least two feet. " N-no.. Just stop hurting me ok? I'm not gonna fight or anything." Her voice couldn't climb higher than a whisper as it fell from her mouth in a pathetic jumble. Cursing herself internally she wished she didn't stop to look at the helpless man on the cross but knew that even if she had to rewind time she would still do so. Rosemary knew that her captor could see the sadness in her eyes, he had known she given up the moment he grabbed her. A satisfied smile crept onto his face as he pulled her ever closer, it almost seemed he would lift her up from the ground and into his arms.

"Oi! Why is this guy strapped up like that? And why are you gripping onto her arm so viciously? No man no matter his position or rank should never lay a finger on a woman... I swear if Raphael was here he would beat his ass."

A voice ripped through the silent tension between Rosemary and the marine. It was a strange sight when someone decided to help someone who was clearly being harassed by a marine, hell most people walked away and didn't even look. For a brief second Rosemary felt a bit of relief that was until she felt her body being thrown across the floor. Who the hell are you to question what a Marine does?! For all you know this bitch could be a murder suspect. So how about you get your punk ass out of here. Or I'll have you on the cross next. Anyone looking at the Marine could see he easily stood eight feet tall, with muscles that filled his uniform in a most uncomfortable way. His green eyes were full and look to pop from his head with a shock of red hair styled in a Mohawk making him look extremely unapproachable. It seemed the situation was worsening but she was no longer in the sights of the marine. He had thrown her behind him as if he was guarding a treasure. Rosemary was honestly to afraid to take this chance to run but it seemed she didn't have to.

Before she could register the next few moments a figure approached her. She watched him with horror in her eyes because of what he did as soon as her got up behind the marine. " Is he crazy? " Was all she could think her crystal orbs watching as the Marine took the hit as if it were little more than an annoying fly touching him, not even noticing as the man continued on to free the prisoner. The sounds of the shackled prisoner is what caught the monster marine's attention and moving faster than his body let on turned to the newcomer. " What the hell do you think yer doin?! "  The distance between the marine and the dreadlocked man wasn't much and it took less than a second after the marine asked the question for him to charge at him.

At this point rosemary had found herself backing up and away, not hearing what was spoken by the other male that had just come around. She was suppose to be on a simple grocery run and now it seemed the day had something new planned for her. She already knew that more marines would come soon, and if she didn't split fast she would be in deeper trouble than she knew what to do with. Finding herself to her feet she backed away from the two men, getting closer to the other blue haired individual. " T-thank you for speaking up... But now I fear we will be in deeper trouble than before..And I was just about to set up shop here.. I'll probably be wanted for this. " The last sentence was more or less to herself but it came out all the same. The wings on her back fluttered a bit and she wasted no time in taking this opportunity to run from the situation at hand. If those two were smart they would follow suit because she was sure as the water reflected the sky that more marines would come and she refused to be apart of that.

The Grateful One

Her attempt to run from the scene was hindered by a hand that rested on her shoulder. She could feel her heart racing but quickly calmed down upon hearing the words of the blue haired man, feeling for a moment that he could be right, she didn't do anything wrong so why should she get into any trouble? She began to reason with herself smiling at the blue haired fellow beside her. "In this world this is the one truth. There is no good or evil. There is only life and death. Only the strong survive."
Rosemary looked over, her azure orbs landing where the voice rolled in. She was met with the dredhead that took down the marine. She began to become wary of him, his words held empty weight to her. The strong may survive but they aren't the only ones. Being strong only gets you so far, because there are people in this world who aren't strong at all, but more powerful than you or me or anyone really..... And life and death is not the only thing, there is happiness and sadness.. love and hate... and yes good and evil. The world is not black and white as you say...It's much more than that. The air was cool as she smiled softly towards her savior she found herself to be in his debt and bowed before him. I'm sorry. I should be thanking you. Had it not been for you who knows how that situation would have turned out. I am in your debt and its clear that you are indeed strong. My name is Rosemary, pleased to meet you. It didn't matter to her that he was a pirate, he has done her a great justice in taking down that marine. Standing straight up her hands found themselves in front of her and her mind forgetting that she was in fact suppose to be grocery shopping for some elderly person. At this point she didn't care but the question posed in her mind of what she would do next. Her wings twitched a bit but to those around her it looked as if she were flapping them slightly. It really was wonderful how one thing led to another and it never ceased to amaze her how she got caught in the middle of such instances.

Opportunist Mode Activated

It was interesting to hear the different views of others within minutes of meeting them. It really painted a outline of how each one of them saw life and overall themselves in it. She continued to smile sweetly, her overall sunny disposition coming back to her as her mind forgot about the nasty little incident, even as the marine continued to lie down in the dirt. It was odd that no other marines came to see what the commotion was about, especially since this was a heavily occupied marine island. The thought alone made Rosemary fidget just a bit but she remained calm. Looking at the two men in front of her and the way the interacted with one another she deduced that they already knew one another. She almost missed the question as she spaced out a bit, watching the small interaction between the two. It almost looked like a teacher and student relationship. " Oh. Yes. This is my first time on Yotsuba Island. I don't have much of a purpose.. Well or rather it's a dying purpose. " She instantly thought of her sister and it seemed that for awhile she forgot what she was doing all this traveling for to start with. She couldn't go back home, she didn't know where it was and even if she did return she knew her parents to be long dead. She wondered if her sister had fallen to the same fate but knew that she was tough and if Rosemary herself could survive this long, she knew her sister would too. " I'm just a traveler, an adventurer of the uncanny kind. I sell myself as a maid but I am also a cook, selling my dishes as well to leave my name behind... I want everyone to know my name through my food. No matter who they might be. " A light giggle escaped her lips as it dawned on her how silly that might sound to anyone else, but she knew well enough the power of food and kindness, no one ever forgets good deeds and a full belly. " Ah! But I was lucky enough to had run into you two, do you live on the island? oh my.. what a silly question. You are a pirate so you must do a lot of traveling. What brought you here? " She had to think about it, if she asked to join pirates she would most likely be branded as one, but on the other hand that was easy travel and a sure fire name to get her name out in the open. She held her tongue on that, it wasn't even her place to ask such a question and ontop of that she was as weak as a wet paper, and even that took a bit of time tearing.
