"Kai! Kaichee Balior! That is you! Hey mates come meet one of the finest pirates I sailed with in the Mediterranean," Stash was shocked to see him again. He had heard that the orientals didn't take kindly to Europeans and thought Kai was dead. "What brings you here?"

"How could I resist the call of the Boar? She finally reached me."
"But I never sent..." Kai just grinned and tapped his left eye. The old one. Stash went on, "Anyhow, you know Dismas, this is Reynaud Senet," the list went on until, " and this dour gentleman is John Hellion. I believe you met him back in Algiers"

"So I did," said Kai recognizing Gabrielle. He approached him slowly. John eyed him suspiciously. Kai held out his hand in greeting, but John swatted it aside and hugged him.
"Good to see ya again Kai, but what the hell are you wearing?"

Kaichee was shirtless and wearing a headband with odd squiggles on it, kanji. His pants were huge and all but obscured his feet. "What? These are my hakama. They hide the movements of my legs when I fight. I've thrown more than one opponent overboard because he thought I was standing differently than was."

Stash piped up, "Pants like those I bet you could smuggle tons of illicit cargo."

Never one to miss an opportunity Dismas chimed in, "Oi! I bet he's smuggling plums!" He slapped his thigh and laughed at his own joke. "Get it?" He elbowed whoever was standing close enough just incase they missed his humor.

"Well I'll admit officials tend not to look in my pants for cargo, I've passed a few crucial items through ports like that." Kai grinned.

"Har! Cargopants... Kargypants! That's it!" Dismas was in rare form, not that his form was usually common.

"Oh no don't you dare...." Kai didn't like wear this was going.

"Sorry mate." Stash was grinning from ear to ear. "You know how nicknames work, you don't get to choose them, they choose you. You're no longer "Old Eye". You're gonna be "Kargypants" from now on. Come on, let's get you some suitable clothers and a better ship. We can't have you sailing this Junk around she's too recognizable."

"Hey, Kargy! He just called your ship junk! You gonna stand for that?"
"She is a junk, Dismas. It's alright."
"Er, wha?"
Kai rolled his eyes, "Where do you find them, Stash?"
"Ah, it's a fine bunch, Kargy. You'll see."
