Star took a seat at a random bar that he'd found in whatever town they'd landed in, they'd figure out where in the Ecclesia Sea star had landed at one point or another but for now, he wanted alcohol to numb the pain of leaving and the injuries star had left with.

"Hello stranger, who are you?" The barkeep asked, pulling up a clean mug for the former Denholm boy, "I haven't seen you in my bar before, are you from around here?"

"The name's Acho, and no, I'm not from this part of the seas," star was not in the mood for a conversation right now.

"You got a last name kid?" The barkeep produced a mug of ale for Acho.

"Not anymore. My parents gave up on me so I gave up on them," Acho accepted that star wasn't getting out of this conversation any time soon.

"You'd fit right in with my crew you know. Most of us are criminals and runaways, you should come meet them tonight. You'd be a useful addition to my lot. I'm Captain Eris," she slid a piece of paper across the table before disappearing to check on another patron.

You have been hereby invited to join the rouge group led by Captain Eris. Betray us and you'll meet a gruesome end.

That made Acho pause for a moment, star had been warned against rouges his whole life. Rouges wouldn't hesitate to betray you for their own skin and yet he needed a place to feel accepted. Star sighed, looks like he had a meeting tonight.
