Sly P.O.V.: The next night had finally come and me and my gang made our way to the party on Henriette's ship now was the time to take it back and put an end to this snakes game for good dressed in fine 17th century clothing Katrina made while I stuck with my Guard wear while the rest were dressed in very fancy outfits...Well that is except for Murray and Henriette of course who still had their wear but the rest looked astonishing.
Bentley was dressed in a fancy indigo vest shirt with white cuffs a white ruff around his neck and a red cape that reaches where his knees are along with purple breeches and very big buckle on boots and a pilgrim like hat on his head and riding a wooden wheelchair instead of his usual tech chair but however I can't help laughing at those pants he's wearing I mean they look so ridiculous on him and his only excuse was "it was the fashion back then!"
Penelope was dressed differently however, she instead wore a small crimson dress with puffy sleeves, brown worn out flip flops, a white dirty apron around the waist area still with her signature red bandana tied around her head, seeing her dress, I then ask Katrina "um why does Penelope's dress look like something you got out of the garbage Katrina" only for her to then answer, saying "like that's because it is but like they didn't have anymore of the fabric I needed for Penelope's dress kay so I like had to improvise, besides it so looks good on her for selling Carmelita's rad pastries."
"Speaking off which, did anyone remember to bring them?" Bentley asks, only for Carmelita to pull out a large hand basket full saying "right here" and boy was she beautiful in a large poufy salmon pink dress, with her tail peeking out at the back, and her matching pink gloves, also her hair being tied back 17th century style, with a very silky cerulean underdress , after giving the basket to Penelope, she then looks back on her dress and says in admiration "Katrina this dress is amazing, I feel like a teenager in prom again in this dress."
Only for Katrina to answer in response saying "I know right, its like we like blend in to the background and totally no one will ever know who we like really are" as she is seen in a completely crimson sleeveless dress that covers all of her lower half, and her hair was of course also tied back , she was then turning to Murray then saying to him "like sorry I didn't make you anything baby" but Murray didn't seem to mind, as he then said to her "no problem Katrina I'm cool with it" before kissing her on the cheek before Bentley began the operation.
"Alright everyone" Bentley announced "its time to clean house...Er ship of these landlubbers, and put an end to the snakes plan for good, now let's get moving! Sly you and the crew come with me, Katrina try to find a way to stall the crowd, Penelope head for the main side entrance, Murray and Henriette take care of the watch guards, and Carmelita and Grim find that machine!" To which we all start after we all agreed and went separate ways.
Once inside Bentley then orders the rest of the crew dressed as high-class people to form a line outside the main door as part of the plan, before catching up to me now all we have to do is find McBriar and his master, so we can commence the next part of our plan once inside however there where more that like 60 people who attended making me wonder how we where going to find Proctor in this mess of people?
Before I could ask however, I was then astounded by how the party looked, the walls in the room where all painted clear white and lots of tables in the room where all wrapped under silk red table cloths, added with decorative windows and a huge red carpet all over the floor, as for the entertainment Proctor actually hired musicians who made up of a deer playing the violin, a beaver playing the flute ,a duck playing a horn, and a squirrel playing the piano to some of the work of Mozart, not bad at all actually however once I was sucked in for a good 20 minutes, Bentley then snapped me out of it and back into reality.
"Oh I'm sorry Bentley where you saying something?" I asked, only for him to repeat himself saying "yes I was saying that I've located where Procter is" to which I ask "where?" only for Bentley to show me that he was found, with Angus enjoying himself a glass of wine at the snack table, and on Bentley's command it was time to get those two apart from each other, with Bentley to then remind me "remember you go for Proctor, leave Angus to me" before we arrived to their position.
Once there, that's when Proctor notices us and turns to me and says "Corporal Dimitri, glad you can come hope your enjoyin' my party, and who is this might I ask" turning to Bentley afterwards as he then begins to look directly at Bentley, hoping to get an answer out of him "please allow me to introduce myself to you Mr. McBriar, I am named Thomas St. Fordman and I happen to know Dimitri from our time together in grading school" Bentley says, hoping the reptile would take the bait and after 5 seconds Proctor then answers to him "mighty nice to meet ya, Mr. Fordman" shaking his hand with his tail afterwards.
"So what can I do ya for now that your here?" Asks Proctor, before Bentley then tells him "oh yes there happen to be over lots of guest outside who would like to greet with Mr. McBriar, and they demand to see him immediately" Proctor after hearing this, then tries to order Proctor to the front saying "alright Angus, let's go our public awaits" however before he could even take one step toward the front, that's when I stop him in his tracks and say "yeah that's the thing sir, they only want to see Angus not you" to which he then responds to this asking "wait only him and not me, what kind of crazy people are they that don't want to meet me?!"
Bentley after thinking up an easy answer ,then says to the fooled snake "these people are very startled by anything that slithers, crawls, or even hisses, and if they get a look at you, well you can say goodbye to your reputation and to your image" once he heard this, Proctor then thought about it for a second, before he said to Bentley "ya know something sonny I think you may be right there, but how am I gonna get around without gettin' stepped on?" That's when I come in, offering to have Proctor on my shoulders while Angus tends to the public, saying "not to worry sir I'll be holding on to you" thus releasing himself from the governor afterwards, saying "well that'd be mighty thoughtful of ya Mr. Loustaeu, thanksssss " wrapping himself onto my shoulders, before Bentley then assures him that after the public are "tended to" he'd bring Angus back to him before he knew it.
"Alrighty then come on Dimitri lets sit ourselves down, so we can properly get acquainted" Proctor said as me and Bentley went separate ways, as me and Proctor then make our way to an empty table and strike up a conversation between us two, hopefully long enough for Angus's free will to come back to him.
Carmelita P.O.V: Once we all began our assigned jobs, I then turn my attention to Grim who was dressed in a fancy black pilgrim suit with a white neck collar around his feathery neck, as I then remind him of the mission explaining to him that what we have to do is simply just blend in with the crowd, and find the vile machine producing this stew revealing people's secrets, however he had other plans in mind other than the mission.
After I finished explaining, he then replies to me in a charming type voice "that be sounding nice and all lass, but I be thinking that you and I have ourselves a little fun first ,just you and me dancing, drinking and who knows maybe by that time, you'll come to terms in liking an old pirate like me" trying to convince into spending the night with him before the mission, however I then reply sternly to the guy "focus Willow, we need to concentrate on finding that conveyor machine, besides I'm already married."
Grim However didn't give up in convincing me to go out with him a little bit even if I am married, as he replies "aye but what be the point of enterin' a party, if we don't be gettin' the chance to enjoy it a bit, maybe even get ta know the person I be with a little more we may even go somewhere quite for a little time to ourselves savvy?" I decided to just ignore what he said, and make my way inside with him following close behind, trying to make me change my mind but to no avail.
Bentley P.O.V: Once me and Sly pried Proctor off his puppet, I then took the badger outside to the boardwalk where the crew wait in a very long line all in an organize species manner starting from smallest to biggest standing right in front of us, surprised by this McBriar and I then commenced to shake their hand individually, apologizing for the wait and welcoming them to the party as the guest then enters afterwards.
As he does so I then say to him " well I see you have your work cut out for you sir, so I'm going to leave you to your job, while I go and continue enjoying the party feel free to-" before I could finish however, the Governor then interrupts me to ask "and where do you suppose your going, do you really plan to leave me here to handle the guests alone?" Then adding in "you wont be enjoying anything, or going anywhere until all the guests are attended to ,and if you do I'll see to it that I have you hanged for not attending to the guests yourself, now get over here and assist me with the guest!"
Seeing I had no other choice, I simply did as I was told assisting him with the so called guests, but not before I whisper to an ox pirate when he comes to shake my hand "have some more people come stand in this line to shake hands with the governor, find as much as you can just enough to the old authority busy, understood"? Only for him to then nod in agreement, before leaving me with Angus to attend to the other guests.
And here's how it went one of the crewmates would approach the governor, shake his hand, then approach me and shake my hand ,and enter the party , it went on for hours and hours I could barely even stand it, but I have to in order for the plan to work.
Penelope P.O.V: Arriving to my destination after I set up shop, I then began to work on my part of the plan selling strawberry goods, like strawberry tarts, strawberry pie, strawberry cake anything baked with strawberry's really, and with a side of strawberry wine, and just like that already I sold like 3 or 4 to a few customers who came by, one of them being Proctor who was apparently on Sly's shoulders.
Once he got a whiff at what I'm selling, he then excitedly says "whoo he boy howdy, is them delicious honest to goodness strawberries I'm smellin'?" Only to answer him "but of course, would you care for anything in my stand tonight sir?" Proctor barely able to contain himself, says to me " boy would I ever ,gimme a slice o' some o' that strawberry cake, and some 'o them scrumptious li'l red demons!"
I do so and got paid in a huge amount of 50 pieces of gold what a steal I thought, before I returned to my job thinking to myself "now all I have to do is give these away to the people who have been affected by the snakes stew, and let the power of sweets do the rest soon Proctor wont have anyone to steal from ,that shouldn't be too hard right?" as I continue my part of the mission with a smile on my face, awaiting the next customer.
Murray P.O.V: While everybody was inside with the party going on, me and Henriette make our way to the ship beside Henriette's, which was filled with guards just waiting for us to overboard them ,as we make our way to the other ship once there, when the guards where unsuspecting of the Murray and Henriette's presence, that's when we catch them off guard after we move the boat to surprise them, Henriette then climb herself up to where 2nd floor of the ship, and shouts down to the unsuspecting guards "ahoy lads ye be lookin' for me?"
And just like that the guards just went for all together once they got her in their range, but right when they almost have her, BAM that's when I come in and take them all out with the two fists I was given, clearing out the security on that ship, making it free for us to continue our plans, however after I did a short celebration pose Henriette then says to me "great work ship mate Murray, now we be havin' 29 more ships t'check."
Seeing how I didn't know what she was talking about, she then pointed at more ships all over the harbor much to my surprise, and then added in "then after we finish up them ships, then Bentley be sayin' that we have to go to town square and catch us them seagull guards the yellow belly snake sent to spy on the hideout, and afterwards he wants us to be makin our way to the church, and in his terms "shut down his operation fer good" then to be returnin' to the hideout and wait for the rest t' return" hearing this, I then started to feel missed out on the fun.
"That's not fair!" I said realizing all we have to do adding in "that might take all night and the party might be over by the time we finish up" with a look of awe on my face Henriette however then making her way back to the harbor suggests to me "then I guess we best be starten' now savvy?" Defeated now I then follow her saying to myself "wait for the Murray" but not in my usual excited mood this time.
Katrina P.O.V : After everyone like splits up to start their mission I like make my way to the stage the musicians where like playing at and being my rad beautiful self I then like started my part of the job to like stall the audience and like try to keep most I like can from being served the stew and what I so did was like just sang to the song they where like playing (Imagine any song Mozart wrote then imagine Katrina singing it) and once the song was over I was like getting nothing from the audience except silence as if like they never heard of singing before so I was all like "whatever."
But the musicians who thought my singing was like all that, where all like "what an amazing voice, you have wont you come up and perform more for us?" So I was like "totally" going on the stage to like accept their offer ,and they where all like cheering and stuff, while the audience just joined them in like cheering me despite like still being surprised at my incredibly awesome like singing voice.
Like pretty soon though I was like getting a bit bored of singing their songs, so I like decided to sing something way upbeat while they where like beginning to play another boring song, but when I like finished the people where then like more speechless than ever, not only that soon some of the people watching where like totally glaring at me with anger thinking I'm like some kind of total weirdo, all I could totally do was grin embarrassingly and go backstage.
Not like before telling the band and the audience that I like needed a moment to cool down, but really I was like lying on the ground just wishing this mission was like so over now.
Sly P.O.V : After 3 hours of talking with Proctor, we soon where at the wine table as I then began to serve the two of us a special vintage wine, we where about to continue our chat until suddenly a horse guard who was serving the stew then approaches the wine table ,to say "excuse me sir may I see in private for a moment, there seems to be a situation happening with our security."
Proctor then leaves my shoulders once he heard this, and said to me "say Mr. Loustaou why don't ya go on n' find us a nice table to sit at, while I deal with this fine gentleman, I'll be back soon after I promise" then leaving with his guard somewhere private, where no one could hear them but after finding a pretty good table, that's when I then heard the voice of Proctor say aloud, when he got back to the party shouting "what! What do you mean half our security ships aren't reporting in? What's the alibi this time?" and once I heard the answer ,come from the guards mouth I then try to come in-between knowing well the guard figured out our mission .
And what I did to shut him up, was that I stepped into the conversation and said "Proctor you've returned good, I found just the table where we can talk, your dismissed by the way" I said turning to the guard Proctor was speaking, with only for Proctor to then ask why I did so, only to tell him "our boss has more on his mind right now, he doesn't have time to deal with one little thief problem, but if its that much of a big deal to you, then handle it yourself" leading Proctor to then take a liking to me and say "buddy I love the way you think, that idea o' yours is brilliant."
"Well what are you standing around for? Do as this guy says, and handle those Cooper chumps right now before I handle you personally!" Proctor says ,as the horse guard then obeys him not wanting to end up like his co worker from earlier, however my troubles didn't end there, for once we sat on that table I picked the troubles started when someone else wanted to talk to him ,no more then one who wanted to talk with him.
And once Proctor asks him about what type of fortune he had, and just like that the poor guy told him exactly what he needed to know ,only for Proctor to then write it down secretly before putting away the notebook he was writing in under his hat, before I suggested to myself that's the last time I'm ever going to let that slimy snake make a fool out of the Cooper gang!
Carmelita P.O.V: We have a mission to complete and nothing is going to get in the way!
Katrina P.O.V: Like I don't even care if I make a totally complete fool of myself!
Murray P.O.V: I'm not gonna go down that easy!
Bentley P.O.V: We will complete this mission!
Penelope P.O.V: And restore Henriette's legacy as-!
Cooper gang P.O.V: THE GREATEST PIRATE THAT EVER LIVED !
