A young girl, about 11 or 12, sits in the Whalebone in. She wears a 1940's dress made from a bright, cheerful yellow fabric. Her short, brown hair falls a bit in front of her baby blue eyes. A smatter of freckles dusts her cheeks. She sits on a stool, sipping a fruit juice while kicking her legs.
The hair is brushed out of her eyes by... something.
She looks up and tilts her head, smiling gently. "Hello hello!" She chirps.
There doesn't appear to be anything there. Hello hello yourself! How are you?
"I am good! Thank you for asking!" She says politely "What about you?"
Oh, I'm always good. How's your juice?
"That's very good to hear!" She beams "And the juice is fabulous! I love it!"
Thank you! We squeeze it fresh in the underdecks! We found a forest down there, filled with fruits of all kinds!
"Sounds pretty!" She giggles, kicking her feet a bit. "Are the guests allowed down there? I would very much like to see!"

I'm afraid not. I can bring you some pictures, though! We've got a portrait painter whose been dying to paint the forest, but he never had a good reason to.
*Hey Baalze, quick question. In the first iteration of this tavern, I played a character with a crab’s claw in the place of his left hand, which is a trait I later carried to the Bloody Barnacle’s captain when the original Gut died. I enjoyed that character a lot, so my question is — can I play as a younger version of that same character? Captain Cairn, back when he was young and reckless, long before he acquired a ship of his own?*

"Ooh! I would like that very much mister. Thank you!" She said and smiled brightly "Would you like to play cards with me?"

A man is sitting in the Whalebone Inn eating a raw fish, scales and all. He wears a tattered hat and ragged robes shorn off at the ankles. His age is difficult to determine, due in part to the black beard that hides most of his face. His features seem weathered, but his eyes shine with youthful energy. The oddest thing about the man is his right arm — rather than the humanoid arm one might expect, this man’s is an enormous crab-like pincer covered in barnacles and algae.

I'm sorry, I'm not all here right now. There are some other staff who might be able to play, though!

"Aww, Okie dokie then." She said and made a little pout.

Luci waves at him, smiling cheerfully.
He nearly chokes, spraying bits of fish every which way. “Are ye mocking me, or sum? I don’ even have a hand to wave back!”

She flinches "N-No sir. I was just saying hello.." she says quietly.
"I heard some of you are a little down today. I've got a little song to remind you of your place here!"
The band strikes up a quick, cheerful song. The lyrics are equally nice and happy... mostly.
Hey look, we gotta celebrate, Come on and grab your silver plate! Marvel at the artfulness of these harvested ingredients! It might just rot your teeth away, Just look away, you'll be okay And fully free of consequence, A bottomless index to feed your consciousness! Bon appétit! Come on, it's greater than the stars! There’s thousands of treats all laid across in a line, Ready to dine! And all the terrors of the world are burning alive! But, hey, you're here for the wine! My heart's on fire, love! Every little piece of chocolate's drownin' in rum Ain't that fun? We've got a special treat And for people like you, we'll make it taste perfectly sweet!!

Luci looks at the band and the speakers, swaying a little to the music with a smile on her face.

“Full name’s Nathaniel. Friends call me Nate.” He returns his attention to the fish.

*By the way, Luci suddenly recognizes that the voice she was speaking to was the Captain himself*
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
"Ooh! That's a pretty name!" She chirps and points at the fish "What are you eating? And later, would you like to play cards with me?"
