Costa del Sol - Approximately A Week After "Big Buccaneering"
Costa del Sol blazed in the night as the party rage on. The pirate ship that once marred the coastline is gone, allowing the partiers to enjoy the nearly-unimpeded moonlight reflecting off the waters of the bay. Nearly, as Melphina was still somewhat blocked by the fleets of pleasure barges and massive first-rate ‘yachts’ of the Syndicate elite that made the aforementioned pirate ship seem like a insignificant rowboat. However, to the partiers on the beach and in the town proper, those ships were not eye-sores, but displays of their owners’ wealth and tolerated. The nearby Castrum Occidens was brightly illuminated by the show of wealth, but no action was taken against the pleasure fleet by the heavily-bribed garrison.
Hihisa wore a exotic, gold-embroidered jet black dress, as she lightly walked among the partygoers on the beach. A nearby group of Monetarists toasted in her direction and she displayed a brilliant smile back at her peers. She gracefully waddled over to her co-patriants; a hyur woman bedecked in gold chains toasted Hihisa once more, and the others respond as well, “My, if it isn’t Miss Hisa. Rumors are abound about the play at sea.†The hyur smiled wryly. “The dread captain Simb’a Fuckintia slew the rascal Jenny Hellfist, a most barbarous villainess. Those Limsan pirates are always betraying each other. Typical thugs.†The group laughed pompously.Â
Hihisa bowed respectively to the hyur, “Madam Aebbe Graves of the Graves Emporium of Exotic Pleasures, I bid you well.†Madam Graves sneered as Hisa sneered back, “And you, Miss Hihisa Hisa of the Eastern Aldernald Distribution Company.†Hisa smiled, “I am here on personal business, not my family’s.†Madam Graves smiled, “Ho? Then me and my husband wish you well on your investment.†Hisa smiled at Madam Graves’ reply; a facial combat of smiles and sneers playing out between them.
Looking out at the pleasure fleet, Hihisa noted, “If I recall, one of the demands of the so-called Jenny Hellfist was in regards to a recent outrage of a ‘mutiny,’ the thassolocracy is making a show of a execution.†Madam Graves smiled, “I hope it happens, I have been rather bored recently. Mayhap we can view a honest Limsan hanging.†One of the other socialites giggled, “Indeed, I have instructed my servant to arrange a prime view position for the execution. Although I’ve heard it has been delayed somewhat." “What? I’ve been expecting a good honest hanging! It gets boring watching brutes slaughter each other in the Coliseum,†replied another. “Not to worry, my dears,†noted Madam Graves, “I’m sure everything will play out according to our desires.â€Â
“Mayhap, they’ll have the hanging around Starlight and the corpse can be wonderfully garnished with holiday festivities,†someone giggled. The group collectively laughed amid the crowd of gold and sin, as the night rolled on under the feeble, obscured glow of Melphina's light.
