Jake'll be missed <33333 She was a great rper and her posts were always super-fun to read. </3
Jake wasted no time in getting the blazes out of there, going so far as to dive at the two crew members who tried to stop him at the top of the stairs with a war cry of "HYAAAAAAAAAAH!", catching them off guard and knocking them down. Breathless but pushed on by adrenaline, he rolled himself off of them and kept running, nearly tripping over his own laces several times as he made for the nearest exit. He'd leave that part out had he ever been pressed to tell this story.
What occurred on deck was nothing short of a scene from a movie, at least in Jake's mind. Here he was, the brave hero of his own tale, cornered by four larger opponents that stood between himself and freedom.
