Hangyaku-sha glanced at the new poster, seeing a Scarlett hurriedly plastering them onto walls and boards throughout the city.
"Well, this Jane character sounds like they can get something done. I should get my hands on her before the Scarletts do." Yaku scanned the bar counter she was sitting at, and eyed a Scarlett patrolman.
"Excuse me, Scarlett!" She beckoned to the officer, and gestured to the poster when he came over,
"This Jane Spuckler character, here. Does anybody know where she was last seen?" Her eyes narrowed, showing obvious intrigue.
"I've heard rumors that she is in this very area! She was last captured on her ship out in the seas, but she escaped. I don't think you should go for her yourself. Just find one of us when you find her, okay?" The officer had already gone into the 'these people are very dangerous' speech, so she just said "thank you", and left the bar.
She ripped one of the flyers from a bounty board, and started towards the edge of the village, hoping that she can catch this pirate before the Scarletts do.
A few minutes rolled by, until she caught a glimpse of someone running, soaking wet, and wearing exactly what is in the poster's description.Yaku had found her, now she just had to GET her.
She stood up from the rock she was sitting on, and strode towards Jane's path, making sure to get into her way.
Hangyaku cleared her throat.
"Excuse me, do you happen to be the person on this poster?" Yaku presented the flier.
"I'm Hangyaku-sha, a pirate-turned-drifter from the east. I see you are in a bit of a pinch, and I think we can help each other. I already know who you are, and I am not here to capture or kill you. You seem like someone who can get something done. What do you say, Jane Spuckler?" Yaku extended her hand and flashed a playful grin. She was going to get this pirate to work with her, one way or another.
Peter steered himself off to the side amongst the trees of the path leading to the large forest ahead just in case there were Scarletts or anyone else following the same road. Peter slowed his pace to a walk, he could see nobody around him nor hear anything but his own footsteps. The sun shone through the grand green trees and the cold wind brushed against them all. Such a peaceful place. I remember when father took me here once... Peter drew himself into the memory and sat himself down upon a tree next to the path that twisted through the foliage. His father and him didn't go out much, there wasn't time for that in most cases. Chores needed to be done or things needed to be sold, the pub always needed looking after. He understood all that fine, though he wished he could of had more time with the old man. He never did anything wrong in his life... yet, how did he know the pirate captain - Peter's own mentor - from way back when? Whenever he had asked, the captain never told him. Ah, no use thinking about all that now. It's all in the past. Time to focus on the present. Now, where could those ladies be I wonder? Peter turned his thoughts and head to the path, keeping an eye pealed for anyone coming.
