Well, with pirates you can go on and on with different plots (like in pirates of the Caribbean, there is always some new treasure to search for) So we can just start and rp and go from there, see where the characters take us. But we should decide where the characters start out. And I am assuming we are doing traditional pirates? or do you want to do futuristic or present day?
Traditional I'd say. One of us does captain and the other first mate? We can both play various crew members.
Sure. :) I can play a guy in this one if you would like, since I am the girl in our second one
Okay sure (: And you can be the captain. I'll take first mate.
ok :) So where should we start? He's hiring a crew, and she signs up? and is she going to be disguised as a boy? Or will everyone know she's female?
I think she'll be disguised at first :)
sure. Are we making characters or do you just want to jump right in?
haha lol, I meant with making charries, sorry, probs should have made that more clear. Though we could just jump in if you wanted, add the descriptions as we go and see what happens.
((I say let's go with that :D))Adella pushed her way into the tavern, at ease around all the noise. She'd seen the ships in the harbor and knew what she had to do. She'd been waiting or this moment for years. Her hair was cut short like always and like normal she was in men's clothes. Just so much more comfortable.... She scanned the tavern as she got there, taking a seat on a stool at the bar and ordering a drink, looking around for where the captain of that ship might be.
Jame sat at a table in the back of the tavern, his sharp eyes taking in everything around him. Yes, he was young to be a captain, heck, he was only 21, but he had earned it, oh yes, he had earned his position. He drummed his fingers lazily on the table, watching for potential crew members. His other hand playing with the small stud in his left ear. He had put that there himself. The paper in front of him was almost full, but he was looking for two more spots. He had no shortage of offers, after all, he had promise. Men wanted to join under a captain that had promise. He smiled a little.
Once she spotted him and had her drink in hand she made her way over to the table in the back. She'd heard rumors about him and sure he was young but so was she. Had just turned 20 a month ago. She raised her chin a bit, as she slid into a seat across from him and took a long sip from her mug of ale. "I want in."
His dark brown eyes flicked over the young boy sitting in front of him. He didn't look like much. He was rather scrawny looking, but he was obviously trying to make himself look important, that was something. Jame raised one eyebrow and smiled a little, "You sure kid?" He asked, his eyes running over the boy again. "The sea doesn't have room for cowards." He said, his rich voice hinting at the dangers that could be found on the rolling waters.
Her eyes sparked a bit at that as she raised her chin again, this time defiantly. "I can take care of myself. And besides, it's not like I got anything to lose here. I might be small but don't underestimate me. You don't want me on your crew? Fine. I'll find another to join up with."
Jame casually ran a finger over his chin. "You got guts kid. I don't want you on my crew. But if you think you can manage, then you're welcome to join." he said, watching for the boy's response. "But by all means, if you want, go find your luck with someone else. I don't need you. I've got plenty of other offers lined up." He said, smirking a little.
She had to say she wasn't happy with being called 'kid' He didn't look like he was that much older than her but she didn't comment on it, not at the moment anyway. "Alright then Captain. Count me in."
He nodded, dipping the feather into its inkwell and looking up for a moment, chewing on its tip. "What's your name boy?" He asked casually.
"You can call me Dell." She replied, crossing her arms. "When does the ship leave?"
Jame scribbled down 'Dell' onto his list and leaned back in his chair. He folded his hands behind his head and smiled wryly. "First light tomorrow." His eyes flit over the boy's, as if in a warning. "You're not there on time, we leave without you."
Oh I'll be there.... she thought to herself, but didn't say anything, just nodding and getting to her feet, picking up her mug. she'd be there. And finally be away from this place.
Jame watched the boy leave, before getting up with his list. He had a good crew, and he'd need every single one of his men. What he had planned, was not the ordinary venture...
((Skip to next morning? And I'm very curious now...))
((Yeah sure :) and lol. That was my intent XD))
Adella got there before sunrise the next morning, not wanting to be late and ready to get this trip underway. For a couple years now she'd wanted to be on the seas but that hadn't really been an option. She'd had a family, well her mother anyway...Last winter though her mother had gotten sick and never recovered, now she just wanted away from the town and all the memories.
Jame was balancing on the rail of his ship, holding onto the rigging with one hand and leaning out over the water. He surveyed the docks and smiled. The boy had shown up. He was slightly amused by the kid. He slowly turned from his spot. "Loose the mainsail, raise the anchor! We leave now!" He shouted to the crew already on deck.A thick man with dark skin and a red banana over his bald head grunted. "Still ten minutes early cap' isn't it to early?"
Jame nodded. "Exactly. Those who don't make it, don't sail. You have no position questioning me Denver, so shut it and get to work."
The man nodded, not fazed by Jame's behavior, as this was normal for a captain. Any less and there would be mutiny."
((Sorry! Helping parents))Seeing the ship getting ready to pull out Adella cursed, picking up her speed. She wasn't going to miss her chance! The ship wasn't about to leave without her on board...Seeing that she wouldn't be able to make it from the docks she got another idea. There was a building the ship would have to pass below to leave the harbor. If she could get up there the jump would be easy. She changed course and headed to the building, making it to the window that was right over the harbor, and thankfully she saw the ship hadn't passed it yet.
((np :) ))Jame watched the channel he was sailing through was narrow, and passed between two buildings, one that rose over the ship. He stood behind the wheel, hands gripping the familiar wooden spokes with ease. He had a steady hand and a sharp eye, so it wasn't too hard for him to maneuver his sleek ship out of the harbor.
As soon as it was passing below her she took a breath and jumped, praying that this would work and that she'd make it. she stumbled a bit as she landed on deck, but at least she'd made it. She straightened up, a grin on her face.
Jame raised one eyebrow when he saw the boy jump on deck. He had guts and determination. Both good things. Jame looked away again, turning his attention back to the ocean as he turned the wheel and reached open waters. "Here we go boys!" He shouted. The crew responded in a chorus of cheers and the wind buffeted the sails, and then held, pulling his sleek ship out into the water, and picking up speed.
Adella cheered along with them, going over to the side to look over, watching the town start to shrink. She knew this would be dangerous out here, but that didn't matter to her. She didn't have anything to lose after all. No one who would care if anything happened to her.
When the excitement died down and the ship started to sail steadily, the ship's deck returned to a state of common bustle. Jame stepped down from the wheel and handed it over Denver. "Keep her steady." He said briefly, before walking down the steps to go to his cabin.
While Adella was curious where exactly she was going she knew better than to ask, she'd find out eventually. What she didn't know though was what exactly she was supposed to be doing...
Jame walked into his cabin and scanned a map on the table. The sketchings on it warned of more and more dangers towards the west, and then the drawings just stopped. Uncharted waters. And they were where he was headed.A tall thick sailor with a strong accent walked up to Adella and shoved her a mop and bucket roughly. "I trust ya know what to do with those." He said gruffly before walking away.
((she's got a long way to go to getting to be first mate :P This'll be fun to get her up there and then eventually have them fins out she's a girl :3))She scowled a bit as he shoved them into her hands but gave a nod, even though he was already looking away. she didn't outwardly complain though, just heading to the other end of the ship and starting to clean.
((Lol yeah. For sure.))Jame ran his fingers over a rune on the map. "You will be mine." He whispered, before leaving his cabin slowly to walk out on deck and see how things were going. He walked around leisurely, he hands clasped behind his back.
She glanced up from her mopping as she saw him walking around the deck, she'd gotten about halfway across at that point and wasn't sure what she'd be expected to do once she finished this.
Jame's glance fell on the boy he'd picked up. He was doing all right, and he held promise, a lot like himself. He smiled a little before continuing on. That kid might move up someday... If all went well that is.
((Want to skip a little more time? Not sure what else I can do here.))
((Sure... to what time exactly? If your girl shows defiance towards orders at somepoint... that would be fun. XD))
((Haha sure we can do that XD would love to see how Jame reacts to that XD Can you start?))
((Sure. But what is something she absolutely would not do, that he could tell her to?))
((Hmm.....I'm not sure....Maybe something that would reveal she was a girl? Idk.....something against her morals....I really have no idea...))
((Maybe some guy gets hurt and he asks her to lend her shirt to help wrap up the wound?))
((Yeah! Maybe she's the closest one at the moment to them and yeah.....Or would that make it too obvious that she is a girl to the whole crew?))
((Lol. Thats the point. She refuses to take the shirt off. Dont worry, i wont make Jame make her do it. I have other plans in mind *evil grin*))
((*worried but nods* Okay, can you start?))
((Lol. Yeah sure.))The winds were howling something aweful. They tore at the sails which the men were currently trying to tie down. Wave after wave washed over the deck, carrying stuff overboard, and even sailors. He had already lost two of his crew that way. He gripped the wheel with a determination. "Secure the cargo! Tie up those sails! Keep a secure hold to your safety lines!" He kept shouting orders.
