Grinning at the joke of Fishbones spying on her (although she totally believed that might be the case...), Violet began eating the eggs, listening to Yumi's reply to her question.Once the red-head had finished Violet looked at her with a smile. The red-head had been the first person to ever say they'd be interested in the experience she went through, and that honestly sent her unstable emotions rocketing past the awkwardness into pure joy again. Chowing down on the eggs with gusto now. As she was asked about the quality of the meal, Violet would jam out both arms with a double-thumbs up, way too busy chewing on a bacon strip to be able to answer with her mouth.
Upon being questioned on her past though, Violet let her arms plop onto the table again, looking up at the ceiling and scrunching her nose as she tried to think back to her first memory.
"Hmmm....the first thing I can remember...? I think it'd be waking up on the beach...like, maybe a good three months before the thing with you, giant-drinking-lady and wifey? I woke up on a beach with no idea where or who I was, I had fishbones nearby in the sand and weird set of clothes on...really baggy and uncomfy...and all boring with some random stripes running all over it too."
Thinking some more she took another bite of the egg, chewing and swallowing before continuing.
"Anyway, the clothes were all torn up and wet and stuffs, so I stole what I wear now from some clotheslines, and then saw wifey pulling into port~<3" Running a hand along a nearby wall she continued, "I fell in love at first sight and came running as soon as I could pick up Fishbones, and I begged the captain to let me on. He made me fix up his room a little, and since I was still kinda groggy at the time I didn't to my best, but it was enough for him to let me on~!"
Finishing her plate she stopped and added one last thing before returning her own question.
"Sometimes when I'm trying to fix things I get flashes of having done them before, like the carvings I did in the bilge deck, but nothing ever really sticks around for me to get anything from it...by the way, how'd you end up stealing wifey~? Don't they usually have like a dozen people on the ship?"

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" So she had some access to her former life, that was sorta good to hear...at least Yumi thought so, it was kinda hard to tell what was good or bad in a situation like this. She did manage to gather the answer to her question at least, nearly chuckling up her breakfast at the mention of her wife, and the whole love at first sight thing. Boy was she gonna be a pleasure to have aboard this ship.
"It sounds like one hell of a story to tell your kids.~" She giggle quietly, licking her fingers of some bacon grease, yawning quietly as she placed her cutlery on her now empty plate, resting her head on the back of her hands, elbows on the table. Once again, so lady like. Of course the question aimed at her was a little amusing in itself, just showing how little Vi knew about what was going on while she was locked in the underdeck of the ship.
"Well kinda, I admit there were a lot of marines, but Shura can also take on a lot more than you may think. Plus I was backing her up, I got this awesome rifle that breaks down into pieces, so finding a good place to shoot fom was no trouble." She realized she may have gotten a tad off track from the point of the question and quickly back tracked. "Anyway, despite the dozen that likely ran this ship, they must have been ordered to cut off the docks to civilians, so they were all spread out." She stood up, taking her plate as she continued to talk and placed it on the kitchen counter.
"We made a plan, I got on board the ship, and then things got interesting..." She suddenly jumped on the dining table, mimicking holding her rifle and looking down the sight. "I caught a boat on our six, catching up and ready to take us down. I loaded my rifle, bam, another shot, BAM!" She grinned, pretending to place the rifle down beside her, envisioning the ship chasing them. "The ropes of the mast had been torn and the whole sail fell down on the crew! It was an easy take down with hardly any issues, and we sailed off into the open sea!~" CODED BY SYLVIE

Eyes open, Violet listened to Yumi retell the happenings of the ship's capture. Giggling and standing up from her seat as Yumi hopped onto the table, she pictured Yumi as she fired down on the pretend marines of the story, rifle kicking in her arms. As the excitable red-head finished the memory, Vi followed her first question with another one, this time brought by something she had mentioned about her rifle.
"How's it that I didn't even notice any of dat?! Fishbones musta been distracting me when it happened 'cause I don't remember anything special like that happening! Anyways, you said your rifle breaks down~ How's that work~<3?"
Ever the tinkerer the unusual gun had managed to de-rail her thoughts, and now all she wanted was to get a look at that rifle Yumi mentioned. Reaching up to her the pale-skinned girl grabbed her hands, giving her the best puppy-dog look she could give. With one of her base needs (Eatting) fulfilled for now, Vi now needed another base need (for her at least) satisfied.
The need to tinker.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Climbing off the table and falling into the seat beside Vi, she was more than happy to see that her story was exciting enough to, well, excite. Even if it was vi, who at this point seemed like she could be excited by cheese so long as she didn't already know what it is. Her ears perked up at the mention of her gun, a small smile forming on her lips.
"Oh the lightweight? Yeah I can show ya that! Hear, just gimme two minutes." She patted the bluenette on the thigh before slipping out of the dining room and heading back up the stairs to the captain's quarters. She tended to keep the lightweight in a green satchel she hung from her bedframe when not actually wearing it herself, so it was an easy enough find and before you could say "Eggs and bacon", she was back down stairs with her bag, and even fishbones in hand, who she thought might have enjoyed seeing a fellow gun. Placing the green carrier on the dining table and undoing the zip. "Here we are, the lightweight, lady's and gentleman.~"
Placing fishbones beside it on the table, the bag flipped open to show many metal pipes and clips held in place my elastic bands woven into the fabric of the bag, each piece seemed secure but at the same time easy to remove on the fly if needed. Pulling out two piece, Yumi would begin to put it together, attaching a nozzle like appendage to the actual long barrel of the rifle. "I used to work at a metal works back home, so when I left the guy who ran the place gave me the rifle he'd been working on, and that's what you see here.~" CODED BY SYLVIE

Sitting up like an obedient puppy girl, Violet waited for Yumi to run off to collect 'Lightweight' as the captain called it. After what seemed like just a few seconds Vi saw Yumi return, hefting Fishbones and a surprisingly small satchel she had noticed on the bedpost when she had gotten into the bed earlier today. Clearing the plates to make space for everyone, Violet looked at Fishbones before suddenly speaking to 'him'
"I didn't break anything, I swear!
-I know that, I do have some hope for you after all! Now who's this?-
-Yumi's supah-Collaps'ble rifle-thingy-majig Lightweight! Now hush and watch 'er go~!"
Turning back to Yumi, Violet watched, eyes all aglitter as Yumi began assembling the rifle. Not being able to resist the impulse, she began to stick her nose into the sachel, head leaning on the backs of her hands like some funny-looking headcrab as she fingered through the parts near her. Poking a bit of the firing mechanism, Violet looked up curiously at Yumi.
"A metal works? That's so cool! Why'd you leave though...isn't metal working like a really good job(-Next to being a noble?!-That's not a job!) to have?"
Still in her headcrab pose, Violet slipped the mechanism from its strap, beginning to pull it away like real crabs sometimes do with random bits of food left on the beach. While her curiosity knew no bounds, it was ultimately more attracted to the pretty red-head's story more than the mechanism itself.
Tho it did totally look cooler than the old priming fuse that Fishbones used.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Grabbing some more parts and slowly making it into her larger weapon, finally attatching the scope, she smiled as Vi took an interest in her gun. Most times she'd get odd looks or maybe a tiny bit of interest, but Vi actually seemed to have some care in what she was asking about. With a quick test of the system, adding the priming fuse Vi had been holding of course, she looked down the scope and fired the empty rifle, a quiet click was enough to tell her it was all together and in working order.
"Oh the metal works aren't too good a place to work pay wise. I mean I got good hours and I enjoyed every second, but there are nicer jobs. Still, I kinda admit, I woulda stayed there if I could, maybe took the place up if the owner didn't have a son." She rested down the rifles, stroking a finger along the barrel as she seemed to recall something from a time long gone but at the same time, not too far away. "My village was a sort of hot spot for pirates, easy pickings ya may say. After a while I got sick of it, ended up taking one of the rifles and shooting down their captain. Sadly, I also killed some people aboard who didn't have bounties. Before marines could take me in with words like "You're taking the law into your own hands" I ran away. Got a few gifts from the townsfolk and that was it, bye bye home..."
With a quiet sigh, she just fell into her seat... CODED BY SYLVIE

Having had the primer taken from her, violet had settled back into her seat to listen to the girl's story. Plausibly because of the slow travel speed of the last day the pale-skinned shipwright was in a better state of mind than normal, and so she realized she had driven the her captain to a bitter memory. Fingering the rifle, Violet traced the firing mechanism before going up the barrel to where Yumi's hand was, taking the red-head's hand in her own before locking eyes with her captain's.
I can't really say having to run from home is a good thing...b-but I'm kinda thankful you were brave enough to fight for your place...after all, I wouldn't even have a name if I hadn't metcha~.
Pulling her hand away, a slight blush accentuated by her pale skin, she poked at the firing mechanism again, eyes switching to Fishbones and making a 'don't say anything' look before going back to her inspection. She looked at it, but her mind was running through all the events that had lead to their meeting.
A part of her head was shocked at all the random events that had lead to that event.

000 "A sailer whent to sea sea sea to see what she could see see see!" Yumi lay in her moment for just a little longer before trying to bring herself back to the present. She had company, she couldn't get all nostalgic and upset about it now, afterall she made her decision a LONG time ago. Something Vi said did hit her ears though, and as always, it brought a quiet giggle from the red head.
"Heh, I guess you're right...If I hadn't have been here Shura would probably have stolen a dinghy or something since this ship is too big to man alone. You woulda stayed with the marines...Bun would still be on his little island, brooding with his thoughts...I guess heading out to sea was a good choice huh?"
With a quick push off the table, Yumi stood from her seat, tossing the lightweight to Violet so she could have a good look at it. "Hey, the other's will be up soon. I'll come back to pull that apart later.~" With a wink and a flash of a smile, Yumi took her leave, feeling sated with her morning meal, and a little more chipper thanks to the unusual start to the morning.

Nodding and smiling as she caught Lightweight, Violet watched the red-head walk away before Fishbones finall broke the silence.
•So someone seems to have a th-•
-S-SHADDUP! I don't! I have wifey!-
•You say that but Recall I have had my own series of lovers so I kno-•
-How could you? Yer wayyyy too stuffy! Anyways, how'z the going Lightweight~?"
Taking the rifle and leaning into the sunlight so she could see the mechanism, she fingered the unions of the various parts, looking at how the pieces fit together as her voice took on a new aspect, sounding like perfectly like a 20-year-old athlete.
"§Oh, I'm swell, doll! Nothing like being shown off to someone with an appreciation for my kinda game!§
-D'awww you makin' me blush!-
•You sure? It makes me want to return my food...•
-Dun be mean, Fishbones!-
Chattering away Violet made herself acquainted with the Lightweight, sometimes partially disassembling parts of it carefully to see the joints of the rifle as she continued to gossip with the lightweight and Fishbones.
