"Captain, we took some damage during that last raid. We should consider anchoring at a safe port for repairs."<br/>"Are we taking on water?" Asked a large tigress, looking out over her banister at her crew below on the deck as some joyfully rolled treasures and loot in their hands, while some wrestled and gulped down the squirming remnants of the other ships crew.<br/>"No, no we're not, but some of the sails and rigging are torn, a few shots came dangerously close to the rudder so we should probably check i--" The ships quartermaster was cut off as a large black silhouette rushed past, briefly wrapping around them before solidifying behind leaning down over them, a pair of large plump breasts perching on and around their head.<br/><br/>"Ooh, if you're looking for a safe port of call, I happen to know that we're near one that would be--"<br/>The captain cut off the tall dark and voluptuous woman. "I don't recall you being a member of my crew, or having any say in the matter." She stated flatly but forcefully.<br/>"A-heh, of course my dear, esteemed Captain Sin. I'm just a guest on your LOVELY ship, no doubt only along for my pleasant demeanor and *ahem* recreational value." She grinned, a large playful smirk spreading across her face. "But, your crew is excited and eager from your last victory, your ship is in need of minor repair, and there's no reason to dampen their spirits with the news that said repairs might mean your successful streak of daring piracy might not be as fortuitous with the next attempt. We're not far from the harbors of April, I happen to know their 'ruler' so to speak, and we have a somewhat sordid but overall pleasant relationship. I can assure you these will be safe harbors for you to seek out your repairs and your crew to seek out whatever pleasures they desire until the LUST for booty simply becomes too great to be bearable."<br/><br/>Captain Sin, or simply Sin, as she preferred to be called due to the inferred evil and frightening nature of the word working well with a pirate captain's persona, exhaled deeply before revealing her decision. "Fine. Give us a heading. We'll seek harbor at this town of April, and perhaps see whether your claims are true or simply fanciful boasting."<br/><br/>"Hmm..." The large dark woman grinned, the hint of a pleasurable moan in her tone. "Oh, I assure you, every word is true. But if you'd like to be sure, I could certainly wait for you in your quarters so you can do as you please... just to be sure." She grinned and winked at her own implications.<br/><br/>The tigress stood unflinching, her large frame towering over the rest, stoic and imposing. "Yes. I think I will." She stated firmly, though her expression didn't change the other woman, a succubus who went by the name of Spectra grinned eagerly, not wasting a moment in whisking herself away to the captain's quarters and awaiting an 'enthusiastic' meeting with the captain.<br/><br/><br/>------------------------------- Later, at the docks of April ---------------------------------------------<br/><br/>The large red and black pirate ship sailed into the harbor, docking at one of it's many long docks, one of the furthest back they could find.<br/><br/>The captain and Spectra emerged from her quarters. The captian dressed up in her dignified finest. A large red coat with gold buttons and accents which draped down to her knees. Shiny black boots which she obviously cared for and shined meticulously. Black pants and shirt both elegantly aligned and buttoned up immaculately. The captain obviously took great pride in her appearance and the perception that created for those that saw her. For a pirate, your persona and reputation were everything, as such she took great pride and put great effort into hers. Not that she even really needed to, when you're an eight foot tall anthro tigress who's stronger than most people can even imagine, you could basically get away with doing whatever the Hell you wanted whenever you wanted regardless, but she obviously wanted to be known for more than simply that.<br/><br/>"Sara, with me!" She called out. One of her crewmates emerged from below deck wearing a large floppy hat which obscured her face and a poncho which hid her body. On her hands she wore silk gloves. For whatever reason, this woman seemed to be taking steps to ensure her skin and form were concealed. Though she was also a fairly tall woman she was nowhere near as big and imposing as the 8 foot tigress, or the similarly tall, but notably more voluptuous and less muscular succubus, Spectra, beside her. No, this third woman was the 'shorty' of the group at only 6 feet tall, but the fact the captain would have her at her side when going ashore would be enough to imply there was more to this third woman than one might think.<br/><br/>"Keep any looting or shenanigans to a minimum until told otherwise, we're assuming this is a safe harbor and don't want to burn any bridges just yet! Otherwise, fulfill your filthy desires ya blasphemous scoundrels!!!" Called out the captain. Her command met with a thunderous cheer from her crew as they eagerly piled out of the ship, rushing down the docks to the town proper to seek out whatever drew their eyes now that they had some treasure to trade.<br/><br/>Sin, Spectra, and Sara moved at a more dignified and respectable pace though. The captains every stride imposing and purposeful as she made her way in. "You claim you know the ruler of this place? How so?"<br/>"Hehe, the same way I know MANY people, intimately!" She laughed playfully. "Though, by 'ruler' I think the more accurate term is actually goddess, or, resident deity, if you prefer."<br/>Sin scoffed. "Hmph. Gods, I don't believe such things." She stated defiantly.<br/>"Strange words from someone sharing a ship with a succubus."<br/>"Hmph. It's just terminology. As far as I'm concerned, you're all just flukes, nothing more. Even I am a fluke. Even among the Tigrin, a group known for their strength and ferocity, I am stronger than all the rest. That doesn't make me a god among the Felin, it just makes me a fortunate fluke."<br/>"Hehehe! I like the way you think!" Proclaimed Spectra happily at her response. "Of course, I could see how soft you were beneath all that bravado from the st--!"<br/>Spectra found herself cut-off instantly by the captain's large clawed hand wrapping around her throat like a constrictor. "Haha! Of course! So sorry captain! Of course you're not soft! You are the very epitome of the dreaded pirate scourge!" She coughed out, though her tone was still somewhat playful. In truth even though the action would have been very dangerous and threatening to any normal person, to the succubus it was hardly even notable, but she understood the intent and thus played along to keep the captain, and her current travelling companions, happy.<br/><br/>As soon as that unpleasantness was over, they looked out at the square before them.<br/>"Ooh, how fortuitous, it appears we've arrived during some sort of festival! How wonderful!" Spectra called out happily.<br/>"Hmm..." Sin sighed, remaining stoic as she towered over the crowd, taking in the sights.
