Episode 1: The Hand We've Been Dealt.
The Lady rifles through the papers until she finds a release form, grabs a quill and thinks for a second.
"I am going to be… let’s see… Alice Bell? Yes, that’s a fitting name for a commoner. Age, twenty-one; profession, mmm, ‘lady of the night’, released on grounds of not being a part of the crew, just a passerby. And you, my loyal Naomi, shall be… hum… Clare Canter. Yes, deliciously plebeian too – twenty-five, contractor longshorewoman, hired help, not part of regular crew. There."
She fills in the release form, then rubberstamps it with the adequate seals. With a flourish she hands the document to the captain.
"We women are patently inoffensive, and it is an unfortunate accident that we were caught in this raid here. You, officer, are to escort us to The Owl until we can be dropped somewhere. As for the first mate and the goblin, they have just confessed their guilt, and you are taking them to The Owl as well, in chains, to show you the secret nooks and crannies where they stow the contraband. So I would suggest you get dressed at your earliest convenience, dress the guard with your clothes, drop him in the brig and let us press ahead before we are spotted. No questions? Capital!"
She turns around to allow the man to change clothes according to decorum, and continues rifling leisurely trough the paperwork.
Oh, opera tickets? What a lovely little touch...
