Ariel | The Little Mermaid

[flippingfins]

[MERMAID OFF THE PORT BOW!!!

No really. There is a chick swimming all up in your boat- er ship's business. WHAT YOU GONNA DO?]

[allendsmeat]

Yo!

[Luffy's no stranger to mermaids but he shifts his fishing pole to the side so she won't get caught]

Is there anything tasty down there?

[hands4healing]

[Leans over the railing to staaaaare. What is this world, that all the chimera wind up here?]

Um...hi!

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts

[heartismyown]

A

[It was just another day at sea, like any other. It had been a few days since they set sail and Roxas came on deck from below, looking around a bit. He rubbed his eyes sleepily and wanders from side to side, looking a bit lost.]

B

[One minute he'd been on the deck and the next he'd fallen into the ocean with a rough wave. Roxas let out a cry as he fell and then he finds himself bobbing and flailing. Did he even know how to swim?

After a moment, he ducks under the water. The rough waters seemed too choppy for him, and then he surfaced, treading on instinct. Sora knew how to swim, so Roxas must have known too, but land is too far away, and where did that ship go to?]

I... [What should he scream at a time like this?] I FELL! SOMEONE...HELP ME!

[Yes, that was it.]

C

[There was an enemy ship in the distance, and it moved closer and closer. Hooks were thrown into the railing and pirates, much better pirates, come sliding across, swords brandished.

These men were the enemy. Roxas spreads out his hands and summons his weapons, Oathkeeper and Oblivion, ready for a fight.]

B

[rikuheyriku]

[The storm was starting to die down, but--well, those things always got much worse, before they got better. Sora was busy doing everything that he could to make sure the ship didn't go down. Fortunately, he wasn't so busy that he didn't notice one of the crew was missing--and, where, exactly... was Roxas?

Oh... crap.

Sora ran to the railing and looked out. Nope, nothing. He ran to the other side, and-]

GUYS! Ah-[Wait, there's something you're supposed to say in a situation like this, right?!]... Man overboard!

[Yeah, that was it! Thank goodness the crew was awesome and able to handle situations like that. It didn't take long to get them turned around. Once the ship was close enough, Roxas was going to have a rope ladder thrown near him. Yeah, so, he should... grab that.]

Roxas, grab on!

[The storm was

Mikoshiba Seijuro | Free!

[captainspeedo]

[5]

"Heeyyy come take a look at this!" Mikoshiba was grinning like a wild man, hands planted on his hips as he overlooked the gorgeous basin he had just stumbled upon. It was an island thus far unexplored; the crew Mikoshiba belonged to had decided to take a pit stop, and he was glad they had.

He stood on the edge of a large formation of rocks that overlooked the deep, clear pond, into which a gentle river emptied. It was like a place out of story books! How could he not stop to admire? To take a dip? Fresh water was better than sea water any day! He still wore his 'pirate getup,' as he called it, but likely not for long.

Of course he had a swimsuit on underneath. Always be prepared!

(Feel free to switch to brackets. I'll match!)

/snaps your speedo

[sharkasm]

Rin had honestly tried to get Mikoshiba used to this world and its dangers, but he was tired of it already; the guy never listened, and while he would probably (hopefully) man up when push came to shove, in Rin's not-so-humble (and definitely biased) opinion, Mikoshiba was too much of a flake to keep an eye on him at all times. It was just too much effort.

So Rin followed a little behind, hands shoved into his pockets. Contrary to Mikoshiba, he'd refused to dress the part, not planning to settle in when he was going to go back to his own world aaaaany day now, which meant that he was still wearing his Samezuka training suit, even though it was starting to get worn through in places.

Especially the pockets. Scratching his leg through a hole in one of them, Rin felt his own swimsuit underneath - because of course he was wearing one, too. Like his clothes, it was more stubborn determination than preparation.

Spotting the pond, Rin wasn't as ecstatic as his team captain, but it was still nice to see. "Good. At least we can get some practice in..." If he didn't sound all that eager, it was only because he knew they wouldn't be able to stay on this island forever. It was a pain in the ass. He hadn't gone without swimming for this long since -... Well, pretty much ever.

Hachiken Yugo | Silver Spoon

[unlikelyfarmhand]

A

[When Hachiken awakened, the first thing he does is blink in confusion. He's staring up at the sky again and he groaned.] Not again.

[Slowly he sat up, holding his head as he looked around cautiously. His eyes widen.]

Where...am I? [He jerked his head from side to side.] I was in the city a minute ago!

B

[It was another regular day on the ship, but Hachiken was hard at work. Some of your crewmates have managed to convince him that it was his job as the newbie to clean the entire ship from top to bottom as they sat around and played cards, or something. Although they had a good laugh about it at the beginning, now it was too boring to follow him around and watch him, considering they were certain he was still cleaning - and he was. Hachiken had a nice list written in his notebook. He looked a bit tired, but otherwise, seemed perfectly fine with mopping the galley down below.]

B

[rikuheyriku]

[This guy had been too busy to notice the crew picking on the new guy--but when he did notice it...

Well, he kind of made it a point to say something. And to ask them not to do it, again. Yeah, there would be no bullying on that ship. Fortunately, said crew members attempted to laugh it off as a joke--which, he gave them a nice, firm stare over.

Sora could laugh about a lot of things, but that wasn't going to be one of them. He immediately hunted down Hachiken to apologize for how his fellow crew mates behaved.]

Hey, uh... you know you don't have to do that, right? That was actually supposed to be my job. [Okay, it was supposed to be random crew member number 7's job, but details. The point was, Sora didn't want Hachiken doing anyone else's work, but his own. He'd done enough chores to earn the right to relax, in his opinion.]

Kanata | Trinity Universe

[demondogking]

[A]

[How does a Demon King react to being summoned to a whole new world? With giddy excitement. And it just so happens that the Town Square has A LOT of interesting scents lingering in the air too! Aaaah, when was the last time he ate anyway?

But his adventurers senses are tingling with something about that statue too. Hnnngh... OH! And idea! And with that, he'll be waving the closest person near by!]

Hey! Hey you! Over here! I need your help for just a second! It'll take just a moment, promise!

[D]

[Oh boy, THAT adventure was sure a blast! Going out fighting against other pirates, evading the Navy, and even got a nice prize in the end!! Sooooo... what's left now? Kanata here will be slumping against the mast of the boat and lets out a small whine after pacing around for half an hour.]

Oh man... I forgot how long it takes for post-adventure action takes. How long do you think it'll take for more fun and action to start happening again? Staying so idle just makes it feel like it'll take forever to even reach back to port!

[And a finger snap!]

Oh, I know! Who's up for sharing stories about what adventures we've had back home? That'll be fun, wouldn't it?

A

[allendsmeat]

Yosh!

[he hops to attention and salutes]

What do you want?

Caesar Clown | One Piece

[doctorgasbag]

[A bizarre horned figure who's very body seems to be made of purplish-pink mist falls out of the sky and lands face first in the middle of Town Square with a loud crash.]

DAMN YOU, STRAW-HAT! I REFUSE TO LET MY UTTER BRILLIANCE BE BESTED BY YOU'RE-

[The man of gas gets to his unseen feet and takes a sudden look around at his new surroundings.]

EH?! WHERE THE HELL AM I? THIS ISN'T PUNK HAZARD!!!

[allendsmeat]

Who are you?

Minori | Itsuwaribito Utsuho

[funlovinggirl]

[ There's a young woman in your personal space, all of a sudden. No matter who you are.

Grinning widely. Way too cheerful for someone who doesn't know where they are. ]

Hey! Tell me something funny! Or weird! Or make something up! Or anything! Just make it funny!

[heartismyown]

[Roxas stares at her with wide eyes.]

Um...ah...I...

[He rubs the back of his head nervously.] I don't think I know anything funny.

[He gives her an apologetic smile.]

Dakota Perkins | Original Character

[maskedtyrant]

[A - Town Square]

Hey!

[Yes, you. Over there, across the fountain. Can't you see the red-headed woman waving you down? Don't pretend like you don't see her, it's really obvious that she's trying to get your attention.]

Come here for a second, would you? I need you to look at something for me.

[B - At sea]

[Well, that doesn't look promising.]

[Codi replaces her binoculars with a grimace. Another ship, moving in fast; her crew hasn't encountered anyone else on this ocean so far, but she knows by word of mouth the sinister nature of these waters. The vessel approaching could very well carry a not-so-pleasant cast of renegades out to plunder whatever they came across. Then again, they could be fellow explorers instead.]

[She needs a second opinion on this. Codi turns to face her second-in-command.]

Commander Sparks, I fear for the worst. [She takes a deep, pensive breath.] If that turns out to be a pirate ship, we're woefully outnumbered, outgunned...there's no way we could escape unscathed. They must be coming in at--Lieutenant? How fast?

[She takes a good look at the Lieutenant.]

...Sixty knots? You're kidding.

[Codi gives the Lieutenant a hard rap on the head. The Lieutenant's reading doesn't change--the old analog speedometer remains jammed on seventy miles per hour, as it always has been. She frowns at it and turns back to the Commander.]

--Whatever. We can't escape, that's for sure. Do we go in guns blazing, or do we surrender?

[The Commander doesn't answer her question because the Commander is a cell phone.]

...You're right as always, Commander. We should approach with caution and assess the situation when we have more data. Good call!

[Codi grins from atop her majestic raft as the other ship rapidly approaches. With her ragtag crew, they were unstoppable.]

Hail, ship! Drop your weapons, I'm comin' aboard!

A

[sparkplasma]

[As soon as Ivan realizes he's being called, this lady has his full attention.] Uh - all right? [He will obligingly come over to see what's up.]

Amika Stattenholme | Original

[safeinsilver]

[4]

Amika was still finding her sea legs; which is to say she was still stumbling, gingerly and with dainty caution, about the ship, doubly unsteady from the effects of both the waves and of being away from her homeland. Riverboats were all fine and well, all noblemen and women of Hyem could sail them, but the ocean was very much something else again. She was still a little terrified every time she dared fix her gaze at the curving blue horizon.

It was going to take time, like everything else, like having to do physical labor and living off stored food and having no proper privacy to speak of. Awful things. At least the sea had its beauty. She padded, ever careful, over to the railing and stood leaning on it, staring down into the waves.

"At least it is a clear day," she muttered to herself, looking for comfort in the little things.

[maskedtyrant]

"That will make it easier to find you in the water when you fall!"

The voice comes from behind her, surprisingly close for how loud it's projected. The young red-headed woman stands with her hands casually tucked behind her back and a friendly grin plastered on her face.

"I saw you stumbling around a few seconds ago," Codi adds, brow creasing with the slightest hint of concern. "You might want to take a step back from the edge."

Elendira the CrimsonNail | Trigun

[suitcaseofnails]

A
[Well. That was not what she expected. Brushing the sand off her legs, the dusty - though very elegantly dressed - blond person ignored the bustle around her with studied care until every bit of sand was gone from her pressed black pants. Then that done, she looked around, frowning as she realized that this bit of noisy humanity was not something she was use to. In fact, once she spotted the waste of the running fountain that was ever so close to her, she practically huffs.]

Well. I never. Of all the ridiculous things I've heard in my life.

[with that, she stamps a foot and picks up the rather large suitcase sitting next to her and heads off into the crowd. Watch out, she might hit someone with that suitcase.]

B
[Water. As far as the eye could see there was water. Elendira stoon on the dock watching the waves and listening to this impossibility, her lips slightly parted at the wonder of it all. She could tell from the scent that the water wasn't drinkable, but still. All that blue and green and brown and gray. All those colors and life hidden inside of it.

It was enough to make even her cry.]

Is this Earth?

[Or just ask stupid questions to the wind.]

B!

[redcinemareel]

That depends. What is Earth to you? [Grell is standing not that far away, watching this person just...staring out at the ocean a if it's so foreign to her. Maybe even a site to behold after so long.

Either way, it was amusing.]

Kon Hokaze | Ixion Saga DT

[pleasetakeit]

[He's sitting at the fountain in the plaza with his head in his hands, the very picture of misery.]

Really? Really? [He throws the journal as hard as he can, earning some rather unfriendly glares from passersby, but he no longer gives a damn. His life sucks too much right now.]

There wasn't even a pretty girl this time! Just "POOF! Here you go, Kon! I heard you liked getting sucked into other worlds and going on quests, so I sucked you into one other world from the other other world so you can quest to get home while you quest to get home!" THANKS A LOT, PAL! [That was an old meme wasn't it? Oh God, even his jokes were getting stale. What if the internet was totally different when he got back and everyone made fun of him on multiplayer?]

[hands4healing]

[...annnnnnd have a pretty girl?

Winry peers down at him, thinking this is getting to be too familiar, strange people showing up at the fountain. Well, like she had.]

Are you okay?

THE FLYING DUTCHMAN | Spongebob Squarepants

[zzzimtheflyingdutchman]

Around Isla Empieza

[It didn't take long for The Flying Dutchman to get a handle on how things were supposed to work around here. Get a ship, get a crew, and go treasure hunting to find this magic ruby. After that, all he had to do is wish to go home and that's that.

...of course, that was easier said than done. He'd been a pirate captain for hundreds of years, yes, but things were a bit different here. Back home he had his own ghost crew, not to mention his ship hovered. Here he'd have to get a crew from scratch, not to mention a regular ship. The ship was easy enough, but scaring up a crew might be a bit difficult...

...heh, heh, scaring up a crew. He planned to do that quite literally.

And so, wherever your character is, they will be greeted by the sounds befitting of a dock. Bells ringing, a foghorn, etc. Then a bolt of lighting will light up the sky, before green clouds of smoke appear before them. Seconds later, they form into a ten foot tall ghostly figure.]

Ah ha ha ha! Avast, ye scurvy dog! I am The Flying Dutchman! And you...

[He says, leaning forward.]

-are the newest addition to me ghostly crew!

[allendsmeat]

No way! I'm not joining anyone's crew! You join mine!

Nitori Aiichiro | Free!

[aidreamofsenpai]

[He's not scared to go exploring. Of course not! It might be a lot different from being at home, but it's an adventure, and he's not going to shrink from it.

That's what Aiichiro is telling himself at least, as the petite teenager walks along through high grass on the island his ship has discovered. One hand goes up to push through his short hair, and his shoulders shift in a way that says he's not entirely comfortable with the situation. He's still dressed in a warm-up suit from school, and he looks nothing at all like a pirate.

Still, he's managing to keep walking forward, which is the important part, right? He doesn't even jump when a bird suddenly launches itself from a tree near him into the sky- well, okay, he does jump, but only a little!

He takes a long walk around the grassy area, then gives a sigh of relief, as he finds nothing but trees, rocks, and small animals of types he could easily have seen at home. No monsters, no cannibals, no weird flesh-eating plants.

He sits down on a large flat rock by a stream, takes off his shoes and socks, and dangles his bare feet into the water before he starts to write in his diary to let people know what he's found.]

It's safe on the west side of the island, so

[It's just then that there's a sharp pain in his foot, and he flails backward, staring down at the toe that suddenly has a chunk of flesh missing. Before he moves to even bandage it or see what bit him, he has to add...]

WAIT NO IT'S NOT SAFE DON'T GO SWIMMING!

((OOC: feel free to respond to the journal or with action.))

[VOICE because your senpai is a lazy ass]

[sharkasm]

[Exploring... It's a little better than being stuck on a ship, anyway. Only marginally, though; at least when they're on the ship, Rin feels like they're making progress. Hanging out near an island is better, too; it's just about the only time he can safely swim. Exploring is nice for an hour or so, to feel solid ground under his feet, the sweet scent of plants and trees in the air. Then it gets boring and pointless, in spite of its practical use.

Not so boring now, suddenly.]

Nitori? What happened?

[In another corner of the island, not too far away, Rin is exploring - and reporting pretty much nothing. He doesn't care enough to make it into a nature show, the way Nitori is doing.]

Hazama (Yūki Terumi) | BlazBlue

[controlls]

Hazama: Around Isla Empieza

[Well, well, well~, wasn't this an interesting permutation, eh? One minute him and Relius were getting things ready for the big show, the next he was waking up next to some damn fountain in a location he couldn't place. A part of him was pretty pissed off, but honestly this was kinda amusing. And just who had brought him here, he wondered? Was it that damn bloodsucker? Or maybe Relius thought it'd be a laugh riot to pull another prank on him...naw, probably not. He was too smart for that.

Hazama sighed as he stood up. His surroundings seemed pretty...dull, all things considered. Not many people around. Not many ways to gather information as it stood. He'd have to go out and do a bit of exploring, if he'd hoped to find out more...if there was even anything he could find out.

It's not look after his initial arrival that Hazama can be found around the main part of the island, casually taking in his surroundings. With his charming smile and dapper suit he at least looks okay, but there's something a bit...unsettling about him. Maybe it's the fact that he can see perfectly fine despite how his eyes are closed. Odd, that.]

Ah, excuse me?

[He calls out.]

Do you think you could lend me a hand? I seem to be a bit...ah...confused, shall we say? Not really sure where I am.

Terumi: The Forest

[After finding out a bit more about this place, it was hardly a surprise that Hazama...was less than thrilled. Being trapped anywhere was something that never ceased to piss him off to no end, especially after all that time he'd spent in the Boundary, but that fact that he actually had to sit around and play all nicey nicey with a bunch of idiots just to get out of here made him sick. Sure, he'd done it before and could do it again, but DAMN. Just when shit was getting to the good part!

...still. It wouldn't hurt to let loose at least once, right? And besides, maybe it'd scare up a crew that was right up his alley. If he was going to be stuck here, no sense in making his stay a quiet one? Why NOT raise a little hell? This place could use a little livening up...

Of course, he didn't want to get caught. So he took a trip down to the Backwater Brig and picked up a few new clothes to change into...and one old favorite. Late at night those out and about might hear the faintest sounds of...screaming? Yelling, perhaps? Whatever it was, it seemed to be coming from the forest. Anyone who went to investigate would be greeted with quite the sight. Corpses, about five of them, seemed to mark a path. The volume of the screaming would now seem much louder, and if you dared to head further in you would be greeted by the last moments of a random NPC man as his face is smashed into the ground by a leather boot. The features of the figure standing above the now dead man are hard to make out, but it's obvious he's slim. Most of his attire seems to blend in with the darkness of the night...except for a bright orange cloak with a hood.

His face is obscured, but two eyes and a mouth are visible. One eye is gold with a snake-like slit instead of a pupil, while the other is a glowing green orb that seems to have...glowing green veins coming out of it. The man's mouth is contorted into a devilish smile, revealing a set of surprisingly sharp teeth.]

Well now, I don't remember inviting company.

[The tone of his voice is mocking, though it's clear that this guy isn't exactly what you could call sane. He rubs his foot against the dead man's face one last time before he steps off the corpse and walks forward; hands in his pockets all casual-like. You know, like he didn't just kill a man.]

Pretty rude to show up at someone's party uninvited, if you ask me. And just what exactly do you have to say for yourself, huh?

Itachi Uchiha (13) | Naruto

[forthevillage]

[The height and stature of the approaching figure might give away the fact that he's a bit younger than most. Red pupils stand out brightly from his silhouette, glowing in the darkness where normal eyes wouldn't.

Itachi is far from a stranger to death, but pointless killing disgusts him. He stops a ways from the man, keen vision taking in the scene even in the dark. At the question, he turns his attention back up to the one asking but says nothing. The ninja doesn't do quips, and as far as he's concerned it isn't worth answering, especially when it comes from this sort of person.]

Captain Marvelous | Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger

[gokai_red]

[A]

[FOOD.

One of the surest ways to Marv's heart, or at least an excellent way to keep him quiet and/or occupied. Of course, without his cook/maid Don, he's left to fend for himself.

So it's off to the nearest pub he can find, which will surely not result in anything like a bar fight that would cause mass destruction and property damage. Assuredly.

Of course, given how hungry he is, the building could probably fall down around him - as has been known to happen - and he wouldn't care so long as the plate being set before him wasn't touched.]

[B]

[A bright, sunny day. Not a cloud in the sky.

Great, if he wasn't shipwrecked on a deserted island.

Adding to the list of problems he didn't have when he had a FLYING pirate ship...]

A

[abundantlove]

[you didn't find a pub Marvelous, but the restaurant where Mana works part time to make some extra money when Maribelle's crew is in port. And since things are rather busy right now, she has to help wait tables in addition to helping in the kitchen. So when Marveloys walks in, Mana is one if the first to greet him]

Welcome to the Rusty Fishhook! [appetizing name really] Can I help you?

Renge Houshakuji | Ouran High School Host Club

[ukidokiotaku]

[So her crew mates have left her stranded on a deserted island. Just because a girl enjoys talking about two boys kissing, or something one wouldn't usually talk about every so often doesn't mean she deserved something like this? Okay so making them act out scenes from her favourite games might have been a factor but still.

Now the young girl was left stranded and with no way off as she knelt down to the floor.]

Oh, what will happen to this young maiden? Could there be someone young, brave and handsome who would come to help her in her time of need, or will she forever be lost to this island.

[totheright]

((Did someone say young, brave and handsome? Because a certain redhead is exploring these waters in a rowboat, his own ship nearby. As he approaches the seemingly deserted island, his rowing slows. Surely his eyes must be deceiving him. Surely that's not--))

Renge? ((He calls out as the boat hits the shore.))

Itachi Uchiha (13) | Naruto (possibly too late for this, but attempting anyway)

[forthevillage]

[If you look over the starboard side of your boat just now, you might spot a lone figure treading across water.

No, not treading in water. Treading across it. Running over the waves as though they were solid ground.

A couple kilometers out, Itachi's boat lies a wreck in the water, and he's honestly surprised it got him as far as it did after the storm. The ninja had intended to save all his chakra reserves for travelling until he'd found either land or another vessel (if he was lucky enough to find either) and thankfully for him there's a boat in sight now.

It doesn't matter who's on it. He'll be racing toward it and then, once he reaches it, right up the side of the boat without skipping a beat.]

[demondogking]

[WHOA.

WHOA DUDE. DUDE.

Kanata was trying to get his crew convinced to check out the possible wreckage and after trying to see if there were any possible survivors if not cargo salvageable-- but seeing a person RUNNING on water? And jumping on the side of the boat like it was nothing? He'd be applauding Itachi like it was the greatest stunt act ever!]

Wooooooow! Oh man, that was SO COOL!! How did you do that?! Wait-- you're not a ghost or anything are you?

Detritus | Discworld series

[piecemaker_detritus]

[ Upon approach of an enemy ship, Detritus calmly pulls out his crossbow, an absolutely mammoth siege weapon converted for use by one troll, sights along its barrel, and fires an entire sheaf of arrows at once. With a godawful shriek, the ammunition comes apart the moment it leaves the crossbow, becoming a rapidly-moving whirlwind of deadly shards and splinters that happen to be on fire. ]

[ The good news? The Piecemaker does a wonderful job of reducing the opposing ship's mast to a tattered, smoldering wreck that quickly spreads a little burning love to the rest of the ship. ]

[ The bad news is that HIS ship is in much the same condition. Detritus shoulders his crossbow with a grunt and looks up at his ship's mast, frowning in slight worry. Pieces of the sails, mast, and a few unlucky seagulls fall to the deck around him. ]

... oh. We, uh. We kinda needed dat fing, didn't we.

[maskedtyrant]

Oh for--

[Codi buries her face in her hand and takes a steadying breath. Think on the bright side...she was smart enough to keep out of this guy's way when he set up that disastrous-looking crossbow. At least...]

--Okay, well--at least they'll feel less inclined to board us, I guess.

[She chances a look up. It appears that the enemy ship's crew is preparing to board.]

...Never mind. [Codi puts on a brave face and calls to the man with the stupidly big gun.] --Alright, good job! Keep up damaging their ship, the rest of us will keep the bad guys off your back. Can you do that without blowing us up, too, this time?

Alice Yotsuba | Doki Doki Precure

[rosettawall]

[A]

[Tea time~

Alice is in whatever passes for a dining area in whatever ship she may be on. Promptly at the same time she is every day, having just finished brewing a pot of tea.]

[B]

[Same situation as above.

Except there's explosions and a bunch of angry pirates trying to board.]

[B]

[missvicegirl]

[there's an explosion and some screaming, before several pirates end up being thrown across the deck. The reason? The young woman wielding a gun and a saber in each hand. The one who's now calling to Alice]

Hey, little girl! You'd better get to safety, before you get hurt or something!

Doug | Gangsta

[acrobratics]

A. [A 12 year old boy clad in a hoody and camo will be walking around in wide-eyed wonder, taking in the port town and the shipyard. Doug won't hesitate to play up his apperance, changing his voice to match and seem innocent as he asks around to find more about this place and how to become a pirate.

Cause hell yeah, adventure, treasure, sword fights! Who the hell wouldn't want that? It sure as hell beats answering to the guilds beck-and-call, here he could be his own man! Make his own rules!]

B. [Doug stood from the rail of his ship, one fist tight on a rope as he leaned out and took in the salty sea air. He felt alive and free for the first time in his 21 years. He didn't care how or why he was in this world anymore. That was for him to determine now.

YOU are now a part of his crew, either he persuaded you to join or you just tagged along for one reason or another. Feel free to bother your child-like captain. He's not at all what he seems and maybe your curious.]

B

[spirits_of_the_air]

[Ihrie tended not to work for anyone younger than her, but there had been only one ship hiring at the time... and she'd run out of money on the island. At least this meant she didn't have to ride in the hold.

Boosting herself up onto a barrel next to her - okay, it was hard to think of him as her captain. Anyways, she leaned her back against the rail and enjoyed the wind and the scent of the sea.]

I hope you know what you're doing.

Ihrie | Ruin Explorers

[spirits_of_the_air]

[It was fortuitous that the island they'd found was apparently uninhabited and had some ruins. That meant loot to Ihrie. What she hadn't counted on - and she should have known better - were all the traps... and the lack of anything really valuable.

Sitting on a boulder outside the ruined keep, scuffed up and singed, Ihrie sighed as she looked through her bag of... eating utensils and low-end jewelry. She grumbled and tossed it to the ground.]

So not worth this junk.

-It was easy to overlook these kind of things when you didn't put much into material value.- But it was pretty fun, though, right?

Sun Ce | Dynasty Warriors

[sonofatiger]

[Sun Ce isn't exactly the sort of young man who comes to mind when one thinks "pirate." But he knows a thing or several about running a ship. The Sun family are known for their expertise in naval warfare, and he's always been one to do what has to be done to get by. Until he can get back on his feet again, that means taking odd jobs as hired muscle on a ship. Possibly yours, or possibly the one that you're targeting.

So when an enemy vessel is spotted, he's one of the first to respond. His tonfa gripped firmly in hand, he races to the deck, ready for a fight.]

Alright, time to have some fun!

[As soon as the first enemy boot hits the deck, he's charging at the enemy like a man possessed.]
