The cook came back after a while to see how far all the girls had gotten and gave a grunt of disatisfaction. "It's nice to 'ear you gals voices, but get a little more done." He said and received nods and 'yups' as the girls quieted only a little and started to peal more quickly.
Ten or fifteen minutes later Dez stood up and walked along the yard carefully so she wouldn't fall and plummet to the ground. She got to the ratlines and started climbing up but stopped. "You can stay here if you don't feel comfortable going up to the highest, sail." Her words were crisp and as soon as they'd left her mouth completely she started to climb quickly.

Melody grew silent and peeled faster, eyes focused on her work. "gah," she hissed and dropped a vegetable. Her hand had a deep cut in it. She stood to go wash it off.
Joseph watched her go up and headed up after her once he was finished. If he fell he'd just go to hell, wake up, and come back or something...Or maybe not. He'd be happy not to.

One of the other girls stood up, setting down their peeler and what not to go and help Melody. "Gotta be carefuly, there are vampires on this ship, they're quite tame but it's hard not to be seduced by the smell of freshly shed blood." She said and once Melody had washed the cut the girl wrapped some thick cloth around it.
Dez was slightly surprised to see him, since it was quite high up there, and the winds were strong. "Tie it extra tight, if you fuckin' mess up the sails gonna be coming down, and i'll be the one in shit for it," she paused, something seeming to come to mind, "if you're unsure that you did it right, which I know you will be, then don't be afraid to be a pussy and ask for help. No one will judge you up here besides me." Dez sneered and looked away to get to work.

Melody ohed and looked at her bandaged hand. "Vampires, huh?" she repeated and started back to the vegetable pile to start peeling once more.
Joseph glanced at her, and nodded respectfully to her, before he went about tying the knots and such. He finished after a few moments, paused, glanced at hers, then cleared his throat. "Well, I think I did it wrong," he said, grinning and waiting- looking rather eager actually- to be yelled at. She was just like his old LT.

"Yeah, just a couple, the Captain takes everyone in, not biased about species or gender, that's why I stick around... I like being in a place where everyone accepts you for who you are." She rambled a bit, taking her seat and starting up again.
Her eyes rose up and she gave him a sharp look, inspecting his grin and the eagerness on his face. "What the fuck are you grinning at? You think doing it wrong is funny, dickweed? Be serious about this you piece of shit! JEEZ! Watch me you idiot!" Dez snarled and moved closer to himmaking sure he was watching while she started to retie the knots properly, going slow so that he could memorize it. "Fuckin' Captain... Making me babysit you... Not a fucking babysitter, don't need to waste my time with big kids..." She muttere dunder her breath, bitching.

"Woah. THat's the opposite of high school," she said, sarcastic, but genuine surprise was in her eyes. "That's nifty though. I've never seen a place like this before..." She rambled and peeled a potato. "Or worked like this before," she laughed.
"Oh! Um...NO, you remind me of my old lieutenant, that's all I'm grinning about. Sorry, ugh....Dez," he said and bowed his head in apology, watching her work. "I missed a loop," he commented, memorizing the knot quickly though.

The girl blinked and smiled a little, moving a strand of her dirty blond hair behind one ear. "You're lucky to experience such a change, I think, life would be boring without surprises." She grinned and blushed a little bit, her teal eyes soft.
"Hn. A miss of a loop... You could've killed someone." Sails coming undone was serious business, first of all the ship could be damaged, thrown off course, or the sail could completel fall of and the heavy canvas and rope could fall and crush someone. "What's your name?" Dez asked suddenly, she couldn't remember it, since the day before she hadn't cared, but now that she was pretty much his and the black-haired chicks babysitter she had to learn their names.

Melody nodded eagerly in agreement," YES!' She agreed boisterously and then quieted down to peel vegetables.
Joseph nodded. "Yes, I could have," he agreed. Boss would've loved that. He returned his gaze to hers. "Well, I'm Joseph and the girl is Melody." He answered and looked at her, awaiting orders.

Dez licked her teeth and looked down to the deck, watching all of the crew, they looked like kids from this height. "Joseph and Melody, how cute. Well, Joe, start climbing down, we're going to go and do the next mast over and check out those sails." She said and started climbing down quickly.

FF- Miller Time
It was finally dinner time. Melody sat by herself again, this time out of feeling tired rather than alone. SHe didn't want to sleep in the middle of a conversation. So instead she was dozing a bit in the corner, eyes half-lidded and empty.
Joseph sat with some friends he'd made and talked about himself this time, laughing heartily at their conversations. It was going to be a nice vacation, he thought, even though he knew he had to get dead souls to Death too.

Fawkes plopped down next to Melody and smirked qidely, eyeing her up and down. "Tough day peeling vegetables, princess?" He asked, he caught sight of her injured hand and grabbed her wrist, looking at the cloth wrapped around. "And you even hurt yourself, rough, ain't it? That kitchen work?" The man taunted in a purr, thoroughly enjoying this.
Dez was drinking up on deck, sitting on a rail and looking down into the calm water that reflected the stars in the sky. She was tired, sore, and most likely had gotten more of a tan from being up so high, directly in the suns path. The girl sighed, hopefully she wouldn't have to help Joe or Melody out the next day.

Melody scowled and glowered at him, then smirked. "Damn straight, I am a princess, and that was hard work for me," she answered, then scowled. "Shoo fly," she said and tugged her hand out of his.

"Oh, ho, ho... Ha." He laughed and regrasped her wrist, holding more tightly and bringing it to his lips and kissing one of her finger tips. "Princess, you're going to have to work like that every damn day." Fawkes released her wrist and combed a hand back through his hair. "Maybe you'll get some muscle, eh?" He poked her in the stomach, smirking.

Melody glowered at him, tugging at her hand again. Once it was free, she stood and stalked off, irritated. "Jerkface," she muttered under her breath and stumbled around the corner, falling flat on her face. She ended up scrapping her chin. "Oof," she groaned and got up on her knees, feeling that they too were scratched up. She grasped the bloody chin and stood, looking pathetic in the little bout of pain.

Fawkes stood up, grinning cockily, he looked at her. "Poor little Princess, your day is just so fucking tough, isn't it, baby?" He leaned down a little, staring into her eyes. "You need to clean that blood off you before someone gets a little thirsty." His voice was extremely quiet as he whispered into her ear, lips brushing it.
