"Thanks."

She goes to check out the ship. If it's probably empty that counts as spying, right?

Permalink

The ship does in fact look empty. Nobody is on the open deck. No clues are immediately obvious when she looks around it either.

Permalink

Can anyone around tell her which way they might have gone?

Permalink

No - Nobody's here, the pirates set anchor out behind the main island, in view of the wind monument, the jail, a small field, and the bomb shop.

Permalink

Hmmm. If she were a pirate, where would she go...

Oh. Bomb shop. Duh. To the bomb shop!

Permalink

The front door of the bomb shop is locked.

She can hear the pirates arguing about something, muted, through the walls though. That's definitely Mudge's voice.

Permalink

Any windows?

Permalink

Nope. There's some on the roof if she recalls from the last time she visited this place.

Permalink

But can she climb to the roof quietly?

Permalink

If she makes a thorough check around the whole place, yes, there's a patch of overgrown vines on the back that she can climb relatively quietly and safely.

Permalink

Cool. Up the vines to the roof then cautiously to peer through a window.

Permalink

The pirates are all arguing with each other, making large hand motions about things here and there. The bomb shop's owner is in a corner, tied up and struggling uselessly.

Tetra is watching her pirates argue with each other with an expression of mild disdain.

She could probably get in this window, actually.

Permalink

That sounds like an entirely reasonable thing to do with no potential adverse consequences at all. In she goes!

Permalink

She lands on a sort of storage ledge overlooking the main body of the shop.

"...I'm just saying, the ones who did the most work should get something, right? I'm not even asking for money! Just a day off work!"

"No, no, no! No exceptions to the duty schedule except if Miss Tetra says so!"

Tetra pipes in, "Shut up and get all this cargo loaded, then we'll talk about it okay?"

"...Yes boss. Sorry boss. Stop squirming, bomb guy. It's just too bad for you that we absolutely have to have bombs to get the treasure we're after. How about you think of this as payback for the nasty little monopoly you were running here, eh?"

Permalink

Hey no wait, she needs that treasure! She jumps down.

"What do you want with all those bombs?"

Permalink

The pirates react angrily. "None of your business!" and similar.

Tetra facepalms. "Everybody shut up! I really thought you were smarter than this, Anna! Niko, Mudge, keep loading the bombs, I'm gonna talk to her."

"Miss... Are you sure you want to do that? Talk to this nonpirate all alone without the help of your loyal crew in case she tries something?"

"I beat her in a fight last time, didn't I? Without really trying, even."

Permalink

"I need to talk to Jabun."

Permalink

"You just rush in and don't think about how badly things could turn out for you, don't you? Look..." She glances at her pirate friends heading out the door. "They're all convinced that big fish is hiding a pile of gold or something. I know you're after that magic gemstone thing, to fight Ganon. You know why? Because you still have the speaking stone. I can look through it if I like. So, you've utterly failed at being sneaky. I won't even try to dance around the issue in return. I want to help you. Evil taking over the world is bad for trade, which means less ships to rob, you know? But not all pirates are good long term planners. The rest of them would never stand for giving you some bombs and letting you get the 'treasure' first, even if I ordered them to."

Permalink

"So, what, I just go away and then follow you and you leave the pearl for me?"

Permalink

"Mm... How about I ever so graciously give them the night off and let them go into town to celebrate our imminent riches, and I even stay back to guard the ship as a big favor to them all, and you ever-so-cleverly manage to sneak past me and get some bombs and set off for the place just before we can?"

Permalink

"That works too."

Permalink

"Right. I'll tell them I kicked you out and call you when you can come to the ship. Please try not to tip any of them off I'm doing this. That'd just make both our lives harder, wouldn't it?"

Permalink

"Yeah."

Anna does her best to look sort of angry as she leaves.

Permalink

Tetra is perfectly smug and condescending as she loudly taunts Anna about the difference between sailors and pirates. Probably an act, right?

Permalink

Yep, this is definitely helping to sell the bit.
