Welcome Home Lads!

Everything was changing for the young Calico Jack and, while what he had known is being left behind, the boy cannot help but feel… excited. Sure, there is a part of him that is sad to be leaving the black sandy beach where he had been born but time waits for no one. With Gilgamesh taking the reins as the new leader and with the Pirate’s taking on a new name, the future stretches out wide before them and the boy is eager to see what it holds.

The swim from the mainland to the island is easy for the boy and, as he stands behind Gil waiting to see what they will do. He looks over to where Rivin is. and flashes her a grin as their new King tells them to grab a snack and booze. The group moves around the beach, forging and gathering supplies for the very first official meeting, bringing back what they find to share as a group. With food laid out and bottles arranged, the boy picks a fat, plump piece of meat and a large bottle of booze before settling in to hear the King’s words.

Calico keeps a spot next to him open for Rivin, hoping his friend will choose to sit with him at the first meeting. Once everyone is settled, Gilgamesh kicks off the meeting and Jack pays attention. He nods along while taking small bites of the food, enjoying the meat after the exertion from the swim. At the talk of leading a raiding party, the boy’s eyes light up and he sits a little straighter, liking the sound of that. Yeah, it is true that the pack had a distinct lack of healers but Jack doesn’t really know of anyone who practices that. Well, beside that one boy he had met.

Talk of rewards has his tail thumping the sand and he takes a swing of the bitter booze, happy to drink to that. At the news of the festival, Calico Jack smiles and hefts his bottle to joyfully call out, “To the Raider’s Hollow!” With that he takes a long pull from the bottle before happily chomping into his food. Looking at Rivin, he asks, “If I led a raid, would you come along?” The question is serious to him but he says it in a light tone, willing to make it into a joke if she thinks it is a stupid idea.
