[Jingee/Lillie] Getting Started (Task)

Lillie had stationed herself and her Crew upon Jakavol Bay for the past several days now. Originally, she had hoped that herself and her crew could gather the supplies and armament necessary to bring about an impacting beginning to their journeys in the New World. However, due to a conversation she had overheard among some patrons to the tavern she had stopped into to purchase herself a drink, it would appear that this hopefulness had been misplaced and not only that but of all things - The Marines were on this island gathering supplies of their own.

She knew better than to trust strange rumors floating around in bars, however, and would decide to seek out her First Mate and trustworthy friend, Jingee, in the hopes that he and herself could track down any actual Marine presence on this island and find where exactly they were docked and - if possible - intercept them before they left or had the chance to call reinforcements to the Island.

Standing slowly from her seat at the tavern, Lillie gave a small tap on her cybernetic arm as the mechanical appendage whirred to life and began to emit a soft hum to audibly show to Lillie that it was functioning correctly. The cyborg woman would then lift the hood on the blue hoodie she wore and made her way back to where The Soaring Eagle, the airship which she and her crew called home, was stationed and immediately sought out her First Mate upon it.

If and when she found the man, she would lower her hood and greet him with a firm yet still friendly 'Hey!' and hopefully catching his attention before going on to speak: "You might not believe this, but I heard from a couple'a people that Marines of all people are docked here somewhere - From what I heard they were gatherin' supplies to bring to some Base, and so my idea is that we find 'em and follow 'em back to their ship and raid 'em before they can even blink." She said, a small grin forming on her lips as she spoke her plan aloud. "What'd ya think?" She then asked, giving her First Mate the opportunity to voice his input on the matter as she slid her hands into the pockets located on her hoodie, awaiting a reply with obvious excitement in her bright gaze and grinning lips as she did so.

Jingee was issuing out orders to the soldiers who remained on the ship. Besides Lille, there were few others who ventured out in hopes of getting supplies for themselves that they deemed necessary for their trip and safety. They were using the money they had been paid with a while back ago. They were told to be quick about getting what they desired, as Jingee wouldn't hesitate leaving a few members behind for their clumsiness. "Oi!" He shouted to one of the other soldiers, moving a large crate upon the deck to make it seem as if they were a merchant ship. "Any sign of the others?!" He continued, approaching the soldier. "No, sir." He simply replied, leaving Jingee with a slight amount of disappoint. 'Lillie more than likely won't be too happy about this..' he thought to himself. He'd already given the crew the same speech about being swift on islands prior to this one. Hell, the crew were Revolutionaries. Jingee himself was fairly wanted by the Marines, holding a hefty bounty. He was slightly peeved as it barely represented what he feels is his true strength. Pirates had more infamy than a lieutenant commander, after all.

He heard the shouting of a familiar voice. Lillie, most likely. Few others sounded similar, and none of them present, so it had to be her. He walked over to the edge of the ship to see Lillie taking off the hood of her outfit. "Something up?" He questioned, slightly worried. The Commander would begin to mention that there was a rumor of Marines being docked somewhere on the Ship. It certainly caught Jingee's attention, and caused him to worry further. "Damn.. we've got some people out looking for supplies right now." He mentioned to Lillie.

He jumped from the deck of the ship to the docks below, greeting Lillie. "Commander." He said with a simple salute, trying not to forget formalities. "What would you like to do about this? I do recommend, at the very least, we should hunt down our scattered comrades.. if not deal with this Marine group ourselves." He said. He was fairly confident in each other's abilities, enough so to warrant that the two alone could handle a small group of Marines. He was hoping his Commander would give them the okay to fight, but whatever plan she came up with was ultimately what Jingee would have to do.

Lillie nodded in response to Jingee's words, her hands moving from her hoodie's pockets to her hips as she leaned over a bit to speak to him with a smile on her lips: "I'm with ya on takin' care of those Marines." She said, her smile fading into a more serious expression as she stood up straight to continue speaking. "Though, you're probably right - We should get the others that we can find before they get us discovered somehow." She said, running the cybernetic hand carefully through her soft strands of auburn hair. "I don't wanna have to fight a Vice Admiral just 'cause our soldiers don't know when to keep quiet." She remarked with a slight annoyance, wishing that she had more soldiers like Jingee at her side - not just brave but strong enough to back up his bravery with action and in her opinion quite loyal to the cause or at least to her, which was what mattered.

With a small sigh, she turned to look out at the docks where they currently were located with their ship and began to tap her foot idly while formulating a battle plan for what exactly they were going to do for this situation:

"I say we start gatherin' up our people and if we see one of them Marines hanging around, we follow them back to their ship and get the drop on 'em before they have a chance to call for reinforcements." She said, her smile returning to her lips as she turned her head to look at Jingee. "Who knows? They might have somethin' worth keeping on that ship of theirs." She added, her smile turning into a full-on grin as she did so.

Lillie allowed for her First Mate to voice his opinion on the matter then or give his own suggestion at this point, in the meantime she would turn her attention to the docks and the people who walked there - waiting for any sign of either her own people or of a Marine if they just so happened to wander to these very docks.

She thought to herself about how they had run into Marines so quickly after docking here and, furthermore, if this had anything to do with the message she had recalled receiving about the Revolutionary Command and some plan they had involving a raid - Maybe the Marines had heard about it from a mole and were on high-alert? She honestly was not sure on the matter and hoped that it was all just dumb-luck and that this was some isolated detachment that had the misfortune of docking on the same island as the Commander and her Lieutenant Commander, both of whom she felt were capable of taking on plenty of Marines on their own let alone when working together.

Drawing herself from her momentary lapse into deep thought, Lillie moved her gaze from the docks and onto the members of her own crew, watching them work with a blank expression as she thought to herself: "I can't believe these are the ones the Revolutionaries put me in charge of.." she muttered, slightly bitter at the fact she really only had Jingee to count on as far as soldiers go - well, along with her Second Mate, Yukiko, but that girl was a different story and one that admittedly Lillie didn't know too well personally and at this point was unsure if she would ever know her.

It all seemed a bit strange, she had been given a position of Command and yet the Revolutionary Army just felt so small and insignificant when compared with the might of the Marines or the fearsome Yonkos who ruled the seas - she felt caught in a cross-fire she never really wanted to be in all that much and hoped that this war would be over soon so that she was not fighting on two fronts at least and could instead focus her attention on one singular purpose - once she discovered her own purpose, that is, although she was unsure if this would ever happen either.

With a shake of her head, Lillie drew her mind out of these thoughts as well and just tried to focus herself onto Jingee and any response that he may or may not give, hoping that at least he would be a voice of reason among all of this or at the very least something other than herself to listen to for a few moments.

Jingee would listen to Lillie's thoughts on the matter. She seemed to prefer gathering up the crew and just tailing any marine spotted. "Alright, sounds like a good enough plan." He said, nodding in response. "Should we split up or stay in a group? I'm fairly certain we can handle ourselves, but we'd definitely run into some trouble if they'd already gone and gotten themselves captured.. On one hand, it's quicker, on the other it's slightly more risky. Personally, I think I'd manage fine even if the crew had somehow already gotten discovered - though I'd prefer for my faith in them to actually mean something." He said, hoping that, despite their lack of training they were at least smart enough to know what they shouldn't and should do. He couldn't imagine them walking around and boasting being apart of a Revolutionary Commander's crew, and they didn't have any specific uniforms however should one of them, on the off chance, be recognized as a wanted Revolutionary soldier, then it would be troublesome.

"I could hunt down for the Marines and contact you when I find some, or vice versa if you'd like to focus on them while I do the babysitting. If you don't want to split up, of course, wouldn't mind it. We shouldn't force ourselves to go out of the way to be hunting down the Marines anyways -- They could just be resupplying up here, same as we are. This entire situation could be nothing more than a coincidence. We've already disguised the ship -- They wouldn't notice us that way. Let me know, and we'll handle this how you want." He said, not jumping into the hunt before his Commander gave an order on how the two would handle this.
