Is this were you want me to post my trial run *shrugs* oh well....
~~~~~~~~ Kira shifted her weight uncomfortably in the narrow confines that she found herself in. She felt a weight pressing against her back, with a grimace, she reached behind her and felt some rope. She sighed and settled back, preparing for a long journey. Rather small, Kira looked younger then she really was. As she never knew her family or her history, she guessed that she was seventeen. She had brown hair, cropped rather short like a boy’s, and a sprinkling of freckles across her nose. Her eyes were a sharp green color, and they avidly took in the world around them. She wore tattered boy clothes, that were very dirty and their original color’s were indiscriminate. Tucked under her clothes were two daggers, and some lock-picks. A strange tattoo on her left shoulder of a skull and crossbones was her only legacy of her heritage. She reached into her pocket and withdrew a small bag of gold coins. She raised her eyebrow at them, and then put them back into her pocket. She risked a glimpse upwards out of the small corner she was in, the way was clear, but then she heard voices coming her way, quickly she ducked back into her corner and listened to what the voices were saying.
“Supplies have gone missing, things aren’t were they are supposed to be, something’s not right’
“I know, perhaps it is some manner of a ghost or ghoul or such”
“Aye, but what would a spirit want with food I don’t know”
“I know mate, I know. I wish Cap'n Calen will come back, Will’s a good fella’, but the Captain doesn’t let anythin’ stand in her way.”
“Aye….”
As the two pirates walked off, their voices receded in the distance. Kira smiled at the thought of them thinking that she was a ghost.
*****Flashback***** Kira hungrily eyed a loaf of bread that stood tantalizing on the window sill, it steamed and gave off a fragrance. She licked her lips and stared at the bread. She looked around to see if their were any passerby’s near her. At seeing noone, she darted toward the window sill and grabbed the bread and prepared to run away. Just before she could dart off, a heavy hand closed in on her ear. Standing in front of her, holding strongly onto her was the baker.
“Ho there, what do you think your doin’, stealin’. Ha, I’ll call the law upon ye, lessee how you’lle like it with one hand missin’.”
Kira gulped inside, but her outside demeanor was calm. With a tricky little move, she wrenched herself free from the baker’s grip and slowly backed up from him. Right before he reached out to grab her again, she bowed toward him and said,
“Kind sir, please forgive me. I was merely inspectin’ your goods, and all that.”
Kira bit into the bread and chewed vigorously, then she looked up to see the baker staring at her, his face red and his voice rough with anger,
“Why you little….”
“Ah, yes, my inspectin’ is complete. Excellent job, well done, the taste is wonderful, good smell. Props to ye, and I will just be goin’ now…”
Kira began to run toward the baker, surprised that she was running toward him, he hesitated. She plowed into him and both of them fell to the ground, his wares everywhere on the street, and the wind knocked out of him. Kira tumbled a little and then darted back up again, for a moment she looked back, she could see the baker running around on the street, hurridly trying to pick his goods up before they were smashed into the ground by the heavy wheels of horse drawn carriages. She listned hard and heard with a smile of satisfaction the bellow of the baker as he realized that she had also stolen the gold coins from his pocket. Slowing her pace a little, she trotted along the street, turning and looking at the stores that lined her path.
Suddenly she found herself at the docks, a great row of ships lay in her path. A slight breeze blew and the odor of sea salt filled the air. Kira froze and looked at the ships. She felt a sudden desire to leave the dismal town that she found herself in. She shrugged and looked back to where she had come from, all that awaited for her back on the streeets was jail and death. I can’t hope to move up in the world, for as everyone knows, street rats are good for nothins’ that are dead lazy and steal a man of an honest day’s work Kira though wryly. With a quickened pace, she crept up to the nearest ship. Two guards were standing guard and permitting none to enter or leave the ship. Kira threw a rock and it landed with a splash in the water. The guards tensed and looked around for the source of the sound. While their attention was elsewhere, Kira ducked and silently thanked the gods that she was short, noiselessly she crept past the guards on her hands and feet. She quikely prowled the ship searcing for a place to hide. Then she found a likely hiding place and settled down.
******back to the present****** Kira felt her stomach grumble, the little food that she had stolen from the ship’s kitchen was hardly enough to sustain her. Perhaps she could bribe one of the sailors with some of the gold coins to pinch her some real food. However she didn’t wish to be discovered by this supposed fearsome captain, who knows what she would do to her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Please tell me if I made any mistakes and what I should change. If it is good, I will post it on the rpg. Thankee kindly ;D

Yes sir Cap'n Turner, I have just changed my post.
Yes, I know, perhaps two stowaways is a bit much, *shrugs* but I couldn't really think of how else to get Kira onto the ship.
What do the rest of you think?
Oh, and keep in mind how my parantage is unknown, perhaps some of you will have some ideas.....?

What sort of 'tight corner' would Cap't be getting into? Perhaps if she gets captured or something, I could use my lock-picks and get her out? Or I could divert people's attention *shrugs* I don't know, the choice is up to you. However, while you are trying to figure it out, I shall go post my trial post onto the real post, if anybody else has some problems with it then I can edit my post.

*strokes chin in thought* but now I am on the ship, not on land.
I think it might work better for you to get captured by that Jame's fella, somebody on the ship finds me. Before I am slung off into the sea, somebody else stops them and does a deal with them that I help you. I sneak in, take off your bonds, we fight our way out, you grant me place on your ship and your protection (not that I will need it, lets just say your crew better watch their backs), and then we set sail once again. Meanwhile, while you are captured, you find out something important from James (perhaps the location of Sparrow). Savvy? Or does this need some work?

Great work Athena!! Ok, you are now a stowaway, and we have yet to find you. Ok I have an idea on how we can pull you and Cap'n Calen together. how's this...
Before you crept aboard, you saw something, maybe a tall woman in men's clothes, smartly dressed with a noble air being led away into a secluded building/alley or some sort by a group of navy officers, but you ignored it and went on your way.
And then on the ship we hint on the Captn being caught by James (a military personnel) and she hasnt come back, and were all worried about her (and you ovbviously overhear all this). AND SO you remember what you saw, anyway, we caught you and threaten to maroon you, but in the bid to save your life, you told us what you saw, and helped us to find Capn Turner, so we would have to go back and rescue the cap'n?
And you being small and such is our only way of getting into the building and picking the lock and everything
Whaddya guys think? If youre all ok with it I'll post later on the hinting part.

I'm not quite clear by what you mean by that KRYS! Are you ok with the idea of Kira seeing you being led into a secluded building?
Or do you have other ideas on how to incorporate Kira into being the one to lead us where you are? Or maybe you have any other ideas? Oh and I've deleted my post earlier. I shall wait for you to post first then.
