A pirates day off.

[Jasmine's view] It was a nice day in this seaside village, snow topped mountains and a nice breeze blowing through the canyon. It would be a great day for sailing, but after a few weeks on the high seas, her sailors and her needed the break; If only to keep moral up. They had ran out of fresh food, and the rolls Agatha had cooked, had unfortunately been left out during a particularly heavy rain. They had been stocking up on supplies(this particular town seemed ill-equipped to handle such a large group of sailors coming through), but came into a bar for a nice lunch to rest up. Jasmine herself was enjoying a nice cup of tea, as were many of her sailors; a few broke out a nice bottle of Chardonnay. During their first rousing song a loud crash sounds across the street. Stopping to investigate the clamor out the window, a bear[a bull?] had crashed into the butcher shop.


--
[Ivy?'s View; Criminal report] It was dreadful this day. The wind blowing what could only be a storm on the way, when a ship of the terrifying Jasmine pirates showed up in their poor village! The treaty promised they would not be hassled by their sailors, or mischievous pirates. Clearly the kingdom couldn't manage the simple task of keeping marauder's out. Secretly a messenger had been sent out to the kingdom security. All they could do now was wait for help. The pirates stripped the village of most of it's food and supplies even before noon, and had to gall to take to the little liquor that was left. They started their raucous singing before a brawl broke out by the butcher shop.
--
[J] They needed a plan. Split into two groups, one to distract, while the other found a net. Yelling wasn't working, so a few shots in the bears direction seemed to do the job. The bear charged rumbling into a small antique shop filled with china. Then again into the bar, a small inn, and one of the recently depleted markets. By the time the second group came back with the net, it took them some time to entrap the beast. It was a good thing the villagers had ran to safety before much of this happened. The main square was in ruins, and little had escaped the gun shots. It seemed lucky that by this point the clouds rolled in, and the rain put out the fires that had started up. After fixing up the few injured by glass, and one by a ricochet shot to the leg. Packing up the bear, they headed out early, they needed to get away before security showed up. Jasmine had a friend she needed to visit, if you could call him that.
--
[I] More from the bar ran out into the streets, yelling, breaking things and constant gunshots all around, windows, lanterns(starting many fires), and anything else they felt like. If that wasn't enough, they sicced the bear into any shop they felt like, assumed looting, though impossible to tell through all the damage. For the control they had on the creature, the gall they had to cage it! A few brave citizens stayed around to clean up, and fix up injured persons. The pirates made off in the cover of the terrible thunderstorm that rolled in. We are uncertain of which direction their ship sailed in.

[J] She found him where he always was, besides for when she found him somewhere else. The fox sat cross legged, hood over his face and tails wrapped to look like a fur trapper.
"Tormenting another hapless traveler I assume?"
"What makes you say that? I was but weary from my travels to the Capital city, and had a seat. So many roads, so many possibilities."
"You're always making deals with unknowing persons in the middle of crossroads. Also, I found your pet bear."
Leaning forward a little he posits, "Who's to say I'm making deals? I'm but guiding people down a path they didn't know they needed! No road leads the wrong direction, and everyone's better for it aren't they? I hear you made yet another name for yourself down in the seaside village earlier; you're welcome."
She held back a smile, "I don't need you meddling in my affairs Trickster, I'm good enough at making a name for myself. So what was the bear really doing down that way? I doubt it was meant for me, at least not this time."
"Actually...I may have needed your talents on a prideful boy that I sent down to the swamps in the forest. Don't forget to bring the bear."
