(A day has passed since the Wraith’s crew crashed onto the island, retrieved the 10^th Treasure of Rule, and left for Janda Town.  All is save for the group now.  The Wraith docks in the ports of Janda Town, and now, it is time for the group to relax before setting out for the next treasure.  Ioz already planned how to spend his free time.)

Ren:  We’ll only have a few hours to rest, relax and gather supplies for the next trip, so try to make it to the Wraith on time, okay?

Cham Cham:  Can Cham Cham have fruit?

Tam Tam:  I think we can find a fruit vendor around here… hopefully, one that won’t be so violent.

Tula:  I still need more herbs, spices and fish.

Ioz:  Finally, I can win some more gold!  Good thing I still have those 100 gold pieces of mine!  Tam Tam, you want to come with me?  I’ll show you the best game houses in Janda Town.

Tam Tam:  I’d like that.  Cham Cham, why don’t you go with Tula?  I’m sure she’d want company.

Cham Cham:  Pink Woman no mind if Cham Cham come?

Tula:  *chuckles* Not at all… I could use the company.

(Tam Tam & Ioz left for the nearest game house, Ioz can make a fortune by gambling, taking Tam Tam with him.  Cham Cham & Tula heads to another direction, looking for fresh food, herbs, spices and other supplies.  Ren & Niddler leaves to another part of Janda Town, looking for some information and anything else.)

***

(Cham Cham & Tula are in the market squares of Janda Town, looking for some fresh supplies.  With the money she has in her purse, Tula purchases some Jarva Tuna fillets, some spices, and even a few candy clams… flavored lemon.  Along the way, they find a fruit vendor, selling his wondrous batch of…)

Cham Cham:  O_O!  FRUIT!  *DROOLS*

Tula:  Do you always look at fruit as if it’s a deity?

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham love fruit!  Could pink woman buy Cham Cham fruit?  Please????

Tula:  Well… maybe a few as long as it isn’t too expensive.

Cham Cham:  YAO!  YAO!  YAO!

(Good work, Tula!  You’ve become an enabler of Cham Cham’s obsession.  The two walk up to the fruit vendor, examining his wares.  Cham Cham notices that he has minga melons for sale!  She wants some!)

Cham Cham:  Pink Woman, look!  Melon!

Tula:  Minga Melons?  Don’t you always fight with Niddler over those things?

Cham Cham:  Ape Bird greedy.  Ape Bird no give fruit to Cham Cham.

Tula:  Yeah, that is true.  Sir, how about a minga melon?

Vendor2:  Okay, one fresh minga melon… that will be 2 gold pieces.

(Just as Tula breaks out her purse, another pirate bumps into her, making Tula drop her purse.)

Tula:  Ack!  Why you… >:|…

Pirate:  Sorry, my mistake.  Forgive me miss…

(The pirate walks away, apologizing for his clumsiness.  Little does Tula know, she just been swindled!  While those two were tripped, the pirate switched Tula’s purse full of gold with an identical purse full of worthless rocks!)

Tula:  Sorry about that… where was I?

Vendor2:  Two gold pieces, please.

Tula:  Oh, of course… sorry.

(Tula opened her purse to get out what was inside.  When she takes out what’s inside, she gets the shock of her life!)

Tula:  Rocks?!  Noy-Jitat!  I’ve been robbed!  >:|!!!

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham no like this… Cham Cham go find Tripping Man, get back bag of Pink Woman.

(Cham Cham runs away, leaving Tula to vent her anger with enough Mer-talk swear words that would make even Andrew Dice Clay blush.  The pirate is about half a mile away from the fruit vendor’s wagon with Tula’s purse.  Hiding behind an abandoned building, the pirate opens up the purse to find about 50 gold pieces, ready to be spent!)

Pirate:  Ahh… pieces of gold!  This money will be well spent in the pubs and eateries around here!

Cham Cham:  Tripping Man stay down!  >:|

Pirate:  Ehh… what’s this?

(The pirate turns around to see Cham Cham standing right on top of the building’s roof, armed with her large boomerang!  The pirate doesn’t like the idea of fighting for what he has stolen at the moment!)

Pirate:  Listen, little savage!  I suggest you head back to the jitatan hole you came out of if you know what’s best for you!

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham no like mean name!  Cham Cham say to Tripping Man give bag to Pink Woman.

Pirate:  Fine, I’ll skin you like a baby leviathan, you little kitty kat!

(The pirate unsheathed his sword, ready to attack Cham Cham.  The pirate later jumped to the roof and swung his sword at the savage.  Cham Cham countered with a Boomerang Gut Buster right to the pirate’s mid-section.  Kneeling down, the pirate gets hit with a sharp brain thrust by Cham Cham.)

Pirate:  >_< !

Cham Cham:  Give back purse of Pink Woman?

Pirate:  Away from me, you accursed monster!

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham no like being called monster, Tripping Man.

(The pirate continues attacking Cham Cham.  Cham Cham, however, is much too fast for the pirate to counterattack.  Cham Cham hits the pirate with a Supercharge, followed with a Leaping Face Rip, literally tearing the eye-patch from the pirate’s face!)

Pirate:  O_O!  That’s it!  You’re leviathan bait!

(The pirate rushes toward Cham Cham like he’s gonna kill her!  Cham Cham sees this and catches the pirate off guard.  She sips under the pirate’s legs and gives him a really big kick to the balls, making the pirate grown in agony and dropping his sword.  Cham Cham turns around to face the pirate, grab him by the neck, and send him through the ceiling via Cham Cham’s Doomsday Driver!  The pirate lies in a tub of fish carcasses inside the house.  Cham Cham picks the pirate’s pocket and takes back Tula’s purse!)

Cham Cham:  Next time, Tripping Man no steals from anyone!  Cham Cham go bye-bye now!  ^_^

(Cham Cham exits the large, abandoned house.  She successfully retrieved Tula’s purse.  Quickly, she returns to the fruit vendor’s wagon to the best of her memory to see that Tula is still there, cursing like there’s no tomorrow.  She already has gathered a crowd, making her look like a horse’s ass.)

Cham Cham:  Pink Woman makes herself look like fool! Cham Cham better take Pink Woman to other place so she no makes herself look like fool.

(Cham Cham walks to Tula, nudging her away from the food card.  She does see the melons that she wants, but she decides to wait for Tula to calm down first.  In another part of the town, Cham Cham finally has Tula to herself, and Tula finally finished her rantings.)

Tula:  *gasping for air* I’ve never pulled off anything like that.

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham has something for Pink Woman.

(Cham Cham holds up Tula’s purse.  Tula’s mood has finally turned for the better!)

Cham Cham:  MY PURSE!!!

(Tula takes back the purse, happy that she now has her gold back.)

Tula:  How did you get it back?

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham saw Tripping Man take bag from Pink Woman while Pink Woman on ground.  Cham Cham saw this, chase after Tripping Man and fight him to get bag back for Pink Woman.

Tula: Aww… thanks Cham Cham.  How about as a reward, I buy not just one... but two minga melons?  Would you like that?

Cham Cham:  Cham Cham is very happy!  YAO!  YAO!  YAO!  ^_^!!

(Cham Cham & Tula walk back to the fruit vendor, only to see that he has sold out of all his wears.  Apparently, when Tula was mad pissed about her purse being stolen, it attracted so many people at the scene, those people bought from the fruit vendor until he was sold out of all his wears.  Poor Cham Cham… no fruit for you now.)

Vendor2:  Sorry, I’m all sold out.

Cham Cham:  No fruit for Cham Cham?!

Tula:  Sorry, Cham Cham.  Maybe we can find another vendor who still has his wares.

(Tula & Cham Cham walk to another part of the market square.  Some were selling jewelry.  Some were selling small pieces of furniture.  Some were even selling live shellfish.  Fortunately, they found another vendor with a big cart full of…)

Cham Cham:  O_O!  FRUIT!  *DROOLS*

Tula:  Here we go again.  Like I promised, two minga melons.

(The two walk up to the fruit vendor, ready to buy some stuff.)

Vendor3:  What will it be, ladies?

Tula:  Two minga melons, please.

Vendor3:  Minga Melons, you got it.

(The fruit vendor pulls out two large minga melons, making Cham Cham freak out even more.)

Vendor3:  That will be 5 gold pieces.

Tula:  Five?  That’s a lot.

Vendor:  Yeah, but I got to make a profit somehow.  You’re buying?

Tula:  Okay then… Five gold pieces it is.

(Tula takes out five gold pieces from her purse and gives it to the fruit vendor.  In turn, the fruit vendor gives Tula those two delicious minga melons she paid for.  Cham Cham takes one of them and eats it right then and there.)

Vendor3:  Your friend has quite an appetite on her.

Tula:  Tell me about it.

Cham Cham:  Yummy!  Cham Cham love fruit!  Thanks, Pink Woman.

Tula:  I should be thanking you.  If you hadn’t retrieved my purse, I would be without money.  Well, now that we got what we came for, let’s go back to the Wraith and unload.  We can continue, afterwards, okay?

Cham Cham:  That okay with Cham Cham.

(With that said, Cham Cham & Tula turns away from the market square to return to the wraith so that they can unload what they bought.)

***

(In the Janda Town’s local game house, Ioz is showing Tam Tam how to play poker and the other games in the game house.  Ioz is making a killer fortune, increasing his fortune from 100 gold pieces to 1000 gold pieces!  Tam Tam is amazed.)

Ioz:  Remember his, my masked friend… a four of a kind will always beat a full house.  I’ve been burned many times by that jitatan rule.

Tam Tam:  Thanks for the tip, Ioz.

Ioz:  Well… I got a full house, what do you have?

Tam Tam:  Let me see… shit!  All I got is two pairs.  I got a pair of threes… and another pair of threes

Ioz:  O_O!  You beat me!  Noy-Jitat!

(Ioz just lost 300 gold pieces to Tam Tam!  Ain’t that a bitch?  O_o?)

Ioz:  *sigh*  It is just beginners’ luck my friend.  The real challenge is to hold onto that fortunate and make it grow.

(Tam Tam & Ioz gets another hand.  This time, the two are playing with Zoolie.  Zoolie takes three cards while Ioz takes three and Tam Tam takes two.  Now, it’s time for them to reveal their hands.)

Zoolie:  I got a straight guys!  What about you two?

Ioz:  I win this time, Zoolie!  Check it out!  Four of a kind!

Tam Tam:  What is this?  I got a ten, a jack, a queen, a king, and an ace… all of which are the same suit.  What does that mean?

Ioz & Zoolie:  O_O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Ioz & Zoolie could not believe what they’re hearing.  But lo and behold, Tam Tam is telling the truth!  The “Angry Mayan” dealt out a royal flush!!!)

Tam Tam:  Does this mean I win again?

Ioz:  NOY-JITAT!!!!!!!!!  I LOST AGAIN!!!!  >:|!!!!!!!

Zoolie:  I’m cleaned out too.

(Tam Tam looks to his new fortune.  He now has a bag full of 25,000 gold pieces!  Tam Tam doesn’t know what to say.)

Tam Tam:  Cool!  I win all of that?!

Ioz & Zoolie:  *grumbles*  >:|………………………

Tam Tam:  Can we play again?

Ioz:  Sorry, I’m broke.  Let’s go back to the Wraith, okay?

Tam Tam:  Awww… okay then.

(Ioz & Tam Tam picks up their weapons at the front foor and leaves for the Wraith.  Tam Tam walks away a very rich mayan while Ioz is left as a pirate/pauper!)
