Y’all know the drill!
We’ve got a room full of drama, waiting to explode. Who acts first?
9. Jinn

“You wish to pay for the release of Hank McCoy?”
“And his cellmate as well,” Remora repeated. She wondered if perhaps the poor woman was a trifle hard of hearing.
The officer gave her a bemused look before turning away to thumb through some paperwork on her desk. Honestly, the way the woman acted, one might get the impression that prisons did not wish to release prisoners. Granted, Remora’s current clothing was more suited to casual travel than business meetings, but the lack of a few frills and laces never stopped anyone from accepting money in the past.
After a moment, the woman shook her head, clucking her tongue regretfully. “I’m sorry miss, but they’re being held for court. They owe a great deal of money for damages done to a local merchant’s establishment.”
“How much?”
“I’m sorry?” The woman pursed her lips and peered down her nose, brows drawn in confusion.
“How much for the damages?” Remora frowned when the woman’s expression didn’t change. “I don’t mean to be rude, but have you considered a hearing enhancement? In your line of work, I should think being unable to understand what a person is saying would be a grave detriment to your productivity.”
Poll Closed!
Aug 19, 2009
Last night’s poll closed after a neck and neck, nail-biting final quarter. Who comes to get Hank and Bones from their imprisonment?
The winner was “Remora”, with 10 votes. Close behind was “A new character” with 9 votes.
Since the voting was so very close, I’m going to satisfy both desires. It will be both Remora AND a new character who release our pirate friends.
Who will this new character be?
I’ll give you a few hints. His name is Jinn and he is none of the following : human, ticker, pirate, guard, wealthy socialite, or loan shark. His species was included on the poll to decide what the First Mate should be, and I had neither name, concept, nor plans for him until this weekend, when I noticed the “a new character” option garnering a lot of support and thought maybe I should have a plan in case that option won.
In other words, the results of this poll changed everything, and I couldn’t be happier about it.
You have the power and hold the fate of this series in your hands! Every vote counts!
