The child's eyes shot open as they saw the...person...start to walk over the bridge. He knew, from walking over this thing a million times, that it wasn't safe for someone who was heavy.

"-wait!" he called, an arm out. Too late. Capraskull's foot was stuck. The child began to carefully make his way towards the stranger. "Are you okay!?"

Capraskull didn't seem alarmed at all, it looked down and then up at the child. The one empty socket keeping an eye on Zuri as they came along to help the creature up. "Okay!" It mimicked, in almost the same tone that Zuri had called out with, the only real effective way for Capraskull to communicate was with imitation.

The creature tried to lift it's leg and it caused the bridge to shake and it stopped, and grabbed it's leg in an attempt to ease it's appendage out of the trap.

The child grabbed onto the side of the bridge as it shook, breathing quickened out of fright. He began to ease on closer to the stranger. "Don't move!" he told the stranger. "I'm coming!" He eventually made his way over, slowly but steadily, and grabbed at the planks. "I'm gonna break it, okay? Are you ready?"

The creature grabbed the rope that served as guide-rails and prepared itself to heave itself upwards when the child broke the plank that confined his lower half. "Okay." It mimicked again, it's one 'eye' still had not left the child, tilting it's head to get a closer look at it's helper. Capraskull regretted not having real eyes.

It nodded.

Zuri held onto the boards, and when the creature told him he was ready, pulled on the boards with all their strength. Which, surprisingly, was quite a bit of strength. The boards snapped like toothpicks in the child's hands, freeing the stranger's foot. He backed up a few steps and stared at the figure.

"You still okay?" he asked again, holding up his hand with his thumb up.

Kate wandered over to the edge and dared to kick a rock over it, staring into the abyss below. "Fah," she announced, "Useless thing. No cannons nor muskets." She rubbed at her nose with one hand while her head turned around to stare at him, then towards the bridge. Without a word she walked straight forward, sheathing her sword and boldly putting one foot after the other onto the old wooden planks. "Eh," she snorted, "As good a boardin' plank as I ever seen one. I think thar be a city in this direction."

"A city? That'd be good." Carter stared at the wooden planks, busted and broken, rotted and likely about to break at any second. "I don't think I can make it across! This suit is too heavy." Kate looked back and stared at him, then looked back towards the bridge. "Goddammit." Carter muttered to himself. "Ok, just put one foot in front of the other. And then you will learn how to walk!" He hummed the tune to himself, as he walked across the rotted bridge. Rope bridges and heights are never good signs. Ok Carter, you can do this. I wasn't very sure of myself. The boards were creaking and crumbling, one cracked as he stepped on top of it. Carter skipped that one.
As he walked down this bridge, grasping the rope sides to try and survive, holding on. "One foot in front of the other. And then you will-" Carter was cut off by the rope slowly snapping, but not breaking. Yet. "Can we hurry it up?" He looked over to Kate, then the big gaping hole where boards were supposed to be. It looked like someone had ripped them out. Carter eyed the boards hanging by a thread. The snaps where they had broken looked like small hands had busted them. Almost like a child broke them. "Do you think we can jump it?"

Kate seemed to be growing a little more impatient and irritated, especially hearing him utter behind her. "Not in tha' divers outfit ye 'ave." Her arms folded as she turned around to face him wearing a stern stare. "Now tha's two ways ye can get across. Either get out 'o it, or I 'ave to carry you." The pirate ex-captain seemed both confident that she could lift him in his full gear and also annoyed for having to suggest it. "'Nless ye think ye can make it with a runnin' start."

"This suit isn't too heavy. I think I can jump it." Carter held onto the ropes as the bridge lightly swung back and forth. "Ok, let's go already!" He did not like this bridge. He absolutely hated heights. Ironic, since he was an astronaut. The bridge swerved from the rocking. Then, Carter heard a light snapping from behind him. The boards had apparently had enough. The bridge was collapsing from all this weight. The boards snapped and groaned, falling into the rushing water. "SHIT! WE NEED TO GO NOW!!"

"Why?" she snorted, "Bridge's ain't made to collapse!" She grasped firmly onto the ropes lining either side and started swinging side to side with a grin. At the same time she started stomping forwards, heavy bootsteps carrying her along the bridge. Hearty chuckles escaped her throat as she made it over and safely to the other side. Kate actually contributed more to the weight than she quite looked, being surprisingly a lot of muscle under her clothes, and also thanks to a pair of concealed weapons hidden somewhere on her person. That, her sword and her clothes all added a few extra pounds.

On the flip side, heights were the place Kate worked best at. So long as she had a rope in her hand she was confident she would find no (serious) harm. Assuming nothing else bad happened she would make it to the other side, then turn and wait for him.

Carter was just about to jump when the boards below him broke. "ARGH!!" He grabbed onto the rope beside of him, and he was just hovering above the deadly water below. "JESUS!!" He looked up at Kate and grasped his hand out. "Hey!!! Help!!" Carter reached out towards the boards, feet just dangling below him. The rope slowly tore away, bringing him lower and lower. "I fucking hate this place." Carter murmured to himself. His hand was slipping, and the rope was breaking. He reached out again. "JUST FUCKING PULL ME UP!!"

Kate laughed heartily when he slipped, planting her hands on her hip with a cocky smirk on her face. "Yar, I'm comin'," she grunted through her grin, "Quit yer belly achin'." She dropped down to her belly and offered a hand out to take his, grasping onto it. Now that he had a good view he could probably see right up her sleeve, where a mechanism lay hidden strapped to her arm and a sharp spike rest on the outside of her wrist. It looked more like a climbing tool than anything, and it indicated that maybe there was more cunning to this pirate than her cocky and confident exterior.

Or at least some cunning to back it up. Also some muscle! She gave a sharp tug upwards, and while she certainly couldn't pull him up unaided from this angle, she certainly was giving a good go, face straining with effort.

Kate pulled Carter up, and he looked back towards the broken bridge, breathing heavily inside his suit, using up oxygen. "Fuck this bridge. Fuck it." When Kate was pulling Carter up, he had seen some sort of climbing tool in her arm. What it was he did not know, but he had some more questions. As they walked to the other side of the bridge, he began to ask her some questions. "Ok, first of all, where is that city...huh....talking about." He breathed heavily in between sentences from panic after the whole bridge fiasco. "2nd, what is that thing in your arm, and third, why the FUCK, would you suggest to me to jump?"

"Where the hell am I?" was his first spoken and internal thought upon arrival. At least, he thought he'd arrived. Perhaps he'd always been here on this dirt path, behind an astronaut and pirate person. He couldn't remember and didn't care to ask. Anyone that had been looking in his direction seconds before however would have seen him simply appear. Empty space filled in an instant by the smell of sulphur and ash, of blood, steel, a brief flash of light that spit out this man onto his rear.

As it was though, he was feeling a little hungover, and had the vague sensation that he'd had these thoughts moments before, or perhaps it was moments sideways... Did that make sense, somehow it clicked in his mind but made no sense out loud.

He noticed an old bridge feet from him, and a pair of people arguing in front of it. At least I didn't end up on that bridge. He thought, unsure how it would hold up to him landing on it. He didn't have a problem with heights, falling however, was another matter entirely.

He stood with a grunt, and a soft sound like metal grinding on metal as his joints took the load. Dusting the dust from his slacks he made his way lazily towards the only people in the area.

"How's it goin-?"

"Ta toughen yer up," Kate smirked, though it was annoyance that was on her mind. All this man seemed to do was whine and she was just about don- As her hand raised to jab a finger at his chest she was distracted by the bright flash and the smell of all things unholy. Her hand flashed to her blade, swiftly drawing and holding it before her, eyes narrowing at the new arrival. However, spying that he seemed to be no immediate threat, she took to her typical enthusiasm of meeting someone new.

A wide grin spread across her face as she cried, "Yahar!" with great gusto, stepping boldly forth and standing fully upright, "Ye've walked into the trap o' great Kate Darkrayne and first mate-" she glanced over her shoulder at Carter, before glancing back, "Suity. We broke this 'ere bridge, and now hand over yer goods if yer wanna walk away with yer nose intact!"

Actually she was just hoping the guy had some alcohol. She could kill for a drink!

Great. Now who in hell was this? In a puff of black smoke a tall figure had appeared behind them, and asked, out of all the questions in the world.
"How's it goin?"
And of course, Kate had responded with her usual remark.
"What do ye have that I could take from ya?" Paraphrased, of course.
Carter walked towards the figure, dumbfounded. The day just got more strange and strange. First, a pirate, and now a tall man who happens to just appear behind people in a puff of smoke. "Kate, I don't think you're going to kill this guy with that rusty sword." Carter had never seen anything like him. "So, anyways, who are you?" Carter stared back to the broken bridge.

Wayland eyed the two strangers, his head cocked to the left a little, right eyebrow raised. Trying to make out just what he was seeing. First, he'd been(possibly) threatened by the pirate, Kate, he mentally added the name to her face. Then, an(apparent) space man came over to ask who he was... Yeah, he wasn't drunk enough for this shit. Out loud however he said.

"If you broke the bridge, how are you going to get back over to the other side? S'not much of a trap if you ask me. What if you need to run away if I prove too much for you?" He let the question hang for a second before continuing, replying to the spaceman.

"Well, First mate Suity. I'm nobody important. Don't even rightly no where I am honestly. It happens sometimes. I just pop up in strange places. Last time I appeared in an office building. Who knows where I'll show up next." He ended his sentence with a shrug, not really worried at all.

Calling Kate's rapier rusty?! Insubordination! She was going to have Carter thrown in the brig once she acquired a ship! But for now she couldn't let the dramatics go, raising her blade to point for Wayland, hovering over a foot away. "Aye, do ye be suggestin' Kate has a yellow belly? Words like that'd get yer tongue cut off!" Her sword swished left then right and back to her side. "But I doubt yer enough for Suity, le' alone a captain 'o my caliber."

She glanced back at Carter. "Oi, you. Show 'im not to mess with us 'n I'll split the first treasure we find with ye."

"Yeah, I'm not fighting this guy. Normally I'd listen, but as you can see the only reason I'm still alive is this air tank back here." Carter stared back to the tall man. "And my name isn't 'Suity,' it's Carter. And this isn't a trap." Suddenly, something in Carter dinged. The man had said something about proving too much for them. That meant a fight. The man was willing to fight them. And the man knew he would win. "And listen, we really don't want to fight you. At all." Carter gave Kate a dead eye. Of course it didn't matter, since she obviously couldn't see through his helmet. "Ok, look, we're headed down to some city, if you want to come." The man looked extremely hostile however. A little bit of staggering indicated he was drunk too. Maybe they could take him. Maybe. Carter eyed Kate's sword. Er, rapier.
Maybe they could take him. Or they could get killed.

"Nah, nothin' of the sort fair captain. I'm sure you're gallant and brave, I was just bein' hypothetical."

Wayland looked at the suited man oddly for a second. Who in their right mind told a complete stranger the one thing keeping them alive. If this turned into a fight. Which it looked like it might if he didn't say something soon, He would obviously for the tank first now. Just to eliminate a potential threat.

"Look, I don't wanna fight neither of you. I've just been flung billions of possible miles through space and time, the worst part is I feel like I've got a major hangover. Like I drank too much diesel or something. A city sounds good, I'm always up for free food, and hospitality." Even if it usually was only free because he burned the place down before taking whatever he wanted. Semantics.

"Arr..." Kate uttered, a low and contemplative noise as she placed the tip of her rapier to the ground, "Well then, if'n food and drink is what yer afta', yer should join me ever-growin' crew o' future mutineers." She gestured sharply with her head towards Carter, just to make sure it was clear where she stood. "Or!" she suddenly declared with her sword swishing upwards, "Ye can cower out and be the victim 'o Kate's robbin' spree. So what'll it be? Join or hand over yer things."

Unfortunately in her mind the city issue wasn't as important as recruiting and stealing.

"Listen, we really don't have any fucking time for this." Carter spun around to face the man. "Now are you with us or against us?" The drunkard was going on about space and planets and the city. There was one thing they could agree on. A city. Carter smiled in his suit. Maybe this wouldn't end in a terrible brawl.
But if Kate couldn't keep her mouth shut then this would end in someone probably dead.
"We can all agree on one thing right? We want to get to the city! So, let's put aside whatever shit we were talking about, and let's just go there!"

"For the moment, let's call it a temporary truce, that may or may not blossom into friendship, or mutually attempted murder.'

Wayland scratched the side of his skull in contemplation, his index finger temporarily elongating into a razor sharp metal talon. It easily broke the skin of his scalp and scraped against his metal skull, releasing a small hiss of super heated air as a single bead of molten metal blood began to fall, he pulled his finger away, letting the wound close, and his hand return to normal.

"Sounds like a plan to me.' He finally decided. Spinning on his heel, and walking off, hands in pockets in the only direction left available.

Kate grumbled and grouched over Carter's repeated outbursts. Did he have no concept of captain and crew? The captain did the talking! Why she was beginning to wish she never recruited him about two minutes ago! "Aye," she grunted irritably, left with no option but to agree and follow along behind Wayland as she sheathed her blade. "If'n we spose to trust you, ye best be sharin' your first name, since yer know ours."
