The CAPTAIN OF THE WINGED SAIL had been waiting for someone out there to contact him about his Blackbird. He couldn't stop looking at his photos and calling out for his beloved creature. He would do ANYTHING to get Blackbird back. ANYTHING.

And then, he heard someone enter his cove. No one ever comes here, so it had to be......

"DO YE GOT MY BLACKBIRD?????!?!?"

As the notail approaches his cove, Blackbird's rope in hand, he gives a polite wave to the geiger.

"Oh my, so you're really here! Captain of the Flying Sail, was it? I have to admit, I'm surprised to see you after our last encounter. OwO"

"It's WINGED SAIL, you no good dirty RAT! You stole me blackbird, didn't you?"
"Stole? What a bold accusation! Worry not, I'm glad to correct you. See, I was simply walking with my own beloved creature before your bird came up to me! UwU"
He briefly gestures to the tied up seizing bird. "So I've decided to oh-so-graciously return it to you! Poor thing was probably lost. OwO"

The captain doesn't think this is true, people don't just do good things for no reason. He refuses to believe what this notail is trying to tell him.

"Well well well! Thank you kindly for returning a beloved pet, but I am wise to the streets, what do you want for me Blackbird?"
"Oh perfect, you caught on quick! What do you have to offer? UwU"

The captain looks around him, before lowering his ears. "I don't got anything but Blackbird....."

But then...he remembers one thing. But that thing was his ticket to wealth. He looks to Blackbird who tries to struggle against the binds. He grits his fangs.

"Why don't you just return my blackbird out of the goodness of your little notail heart? You got one of them!"
"Nothing but Blackbird? What a shame… Looks like you'll have to be left with nothing after this. OwO"

Yoinker only shrugs, tightening his hold on Blackbird as he tugs it away from the Captain.

"Goodness of my heart? You must be mistaken, the only good my heart does is pump blood. UwU"

He watches Blackbird be tugged and how his poor creature squawked in fear. Blackbird could tell there was something wrong and horrible about this notail.

The captain of the Winged Sail summons......

"That good enough for you, you dirty thief?"

The captain doesn't mention he stole this ancient from Classless-7.
The smile on his plastic face almost seems to widen, though it's but a trick of the eye as his entire demeanor switches.


"Oh my, now that certainly is an enticing offer! OwO"
He takes a few seconds to himself to pretend to think it over, before finally beginning to walk over to the geiger. "Well then, I believe we've got a done deal, captain. UwU"
He doesn't want to beg. He doesn-
"This was my meal ticket, notail. Have a heart. If you let me keep both, I swear to you, on my name as Captain of the Winged Sail, I'll......" He pauses trying to think.
"I'll be in your debt. Please." He knows it's useless. Even as he asks to keep the ancient creature, he's holding it out to the notail.
His blank eyes stare right into the geiger, and there's a moment where he pauses… And then begins to laugh. "Your debt? Your debt? What could that possibly mean to me? You, who is willing to sacrifice everything for a bird? OwO"

There are a few moments where he looks from Blackbird to the ancient thornhead.

"Perhaps leaving you with truly nothing would be a fitting end. UwU"

Yoinker attempts to swiftly grab the ancient creature that was offered to him, and then book it, Blackbird, thornhead, and all.
Yoinker rolls a 20 sided die. A 3 is rolled.

In his bid to take it all, Yoinkers trips, dropping one of his stock of many capture creatures.

From somewhere within Yoinker's inventory, he drops a capture creature cage that contains another creature he had been planning to make off with... Melgot the melon mallon.

"Oops. OwO"

Melgot is released, blocking the way with her giant rat body as Yoinker escapes!

"No......no.......BLACKBIRD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The captain smashes a fist to the floor.

"YOU.....HAVEN'T HEARD THE LAST OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE WINGED SAIL!!!!!!!! YOU HAVEN'T!!!!!!!"
The Captain Will Remember This.
