*~The Fifth Faction~* (Pirates SMP)

Preparations.

(ok so I've just realized that these first few chapters are pretty much describing the stuff that'd already happened. i'll try and steer away from that that a bit more after the Owen and Tubbo fight-scene so... just- enjoy reading-)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The faction isles have been buzzing with anticipation the past week, as it was soon to be Recruitment Day, the day where new, young pirates are to get sorted into their factions.

The Herons have been discussing how to greet the new arrivals for the past... well... they do it all the time to be honest, the Nightingales have been wondering what these new pirates are going to be like, the Kites have been practicing fighting moves so they win every fight they pick, and the Kestrels have been working out the best ways to Scam and Pickpocket them... y'know, just a normal day on the faction isles. But nonetheless, the tension and excitement was high... and yet, there were the few faction members left out of the event... and a whole faction excluded from the options... ...or is it?

I see the newbies coming now, I should shut up... I'll leave you with this young Heron for now, he should keep you company.

(Scott's POV)

[Hey, wait a second, is that them right now? Oh! New Ships are pulling in, that's definitely them!]

I thought to myself, looking out at the docks.

[crap, I need to get ready-]

Pulling my gaze away from the incoming ships, I hurried back towards my house. I wasn't dressed as well as I would've liked, and I want to make a good- no- Great first impression for the new pirates, how else would we get them to join us? Should I put on makeup?

I arrived at my house and opened the door, vague thoughts and ideas drifting by in my mind like waves.

"Ok, ok, ok, What do I need..."

Entering my house I started quickly opening chests and barrels to see if I could find anything I needed.

"This is- Biiiiig day.."

I went beside my bed and opened a drawer, right, I left important things here!

"Ok, errm.. Let's get the Spyglass Dad got me, uhhhhhhhhhhhhh-"

As I fished the Spyglass out of the drawer I thought of what else I might need.

"-mum got me the new journal.. Y'know what, let's just take all of this!"

I firmly decided, throwing my arms into the drawer and scooping out its contents, dropping some things but pocketing the rest that didn't end up meeting the floor. I threw on one of my Finer coats and scanned the room before remembering-

"-oh Food! Erm, mum said- There we go! She said she made me 5 mutton wraps. Ok, this will..."

I caught myself as I was about to bite into the wrap prematurely.

"No- i shouldn't, i've gotta save this. This has got to do me for a while until I can like, find my own things. Erm... what else..."
