But this is how you arrived at this particular location.</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Ylira</div><div class="spoiler_body">All good times must come to an end. In your case, this time was when your captain, always a slightly overconfident man, got to ranting loudly about his sucesses at sea. Normally not an issue, but despite his mens insistance he'd not shush about his accomplishing plundering the merchant ships.. of the very merchant guild housed in this town.<br/><br/>Yira had the good knowledge to get the hell out of there and flee, however, whilest escaping the hangman, she didn't exactly bring much of her share of treasure, spending way more than she was comfortable with on traveling to the next harbor town, even seedier this one, having little sucess, until she met the drunk Rovana in this tavern. Granted, this one didn't seem much more sensible than her old captain, but perhaps a lack of testosterone helped out and she was light on options, right now.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Naomi</div><div class="spoiler_body">Naomi had little trouble navigating the pirates tavern, but less luck finding any captain that'd hire her, pirates after all lied so often, they were often decent at spotting another lier, and Naomi couldn't speak of her past easily. Making it tricky to pass any interview, no matter however brief it was. <br/><br/>That was, until this Rovana drunkenly approached her and the few other girls around. She is far from a honorable or powerful warrior by the looks of it, but Naomi's pirate seems to like the dirt-blonde.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Violattina</div><div class="spoiler_body"> The truth was perhaps a little different from stories. While it was fun and games, the pirates had quite enjoyed their teaching of the gal, but actually sailing with a woman? Now that was bad luck, and different. Viola was smart enough not to give away her posession of jewelry to anyone. <br/><br/>And still she found a hand wiggling into her shirt where she hid her jewelry, giving a slight, appreciative squeeze to her chest, even whilest Rovana held her other hand outstretched to her, in friendly offer.<br/><br/>Viola wasn't entirely sure if the woman was coming onto her, or trying to rob her, perhaps both, although she seemed to have gotten.. sidetracked. If Viola protested this approach, Rovana just smiled innocently and withdrew her hand. "I never be stealing from me crew, but you haven't joined yet now, have you?" She stated, flatly.<br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Seak</div><div class="spoiler_body">Seaks experience meeting Rovana was different from the others. She had come to this dirty tavern to get closer to her tentacle'd idols, but she'd been the only one whom Rovana hadn't needed to approach. A single glance to the womans sword had been enough. She could feel it. Writhing. Slithering. <br/>The other fools around the tavern didn't understand what it was, likely, they thought it just an expensive looking fake, at best the present of a far too rich pirate for his whore, but that sword. It was oozing with power. Not any power, but the power that Seak had been seeking all her life. She recognized that green, eye-like gem for what it was, not the decoration it appeared to be. Whoever this dirty, raggedy, self proclaimed captain was, she held hidden a greater, wiggley secret...</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Meera</div><div class="spoiler_body">Revenge is a dish served best well cooked. This is propably not how the saying went, but once you found out that almost four fifths of that despicable lords income came through seafaring trading, you also realized the path you had to take to hurt him the most. <br/>Indubitably, one pirate captain around would eventually hire some additional pretty muscle with little hesitation. But it seemed as if her inexperience presented more of a hurdle than at first assumed.. until Captain Rovana offered her an out. And in the raggedy, dirtied woman, she recognized the same anarchic fire that burned within her.<br/></div></div><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/VdfvJ72.jpg)</div><strong>Captain Rovana (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=299038.msg14627219#msg14627219)</strong><br/><strong>Pirate Tavern -&gt; the Docks</strong><br/><strong>Tagging: Everyone, Introduction</strong><br/><br/>Rovana grinned brightly as you, with more or less hesitation perhaps, shook her well clothed, but dirty hand, perhaps briefly fighting an urge to brush your hand clean aftewards.<br/>"Haha. Great, alright, introduce yourself, tell us what you can do..." She hesitated, raising her finger. ".. No, actually, no.. *hic* don't do any of that. This isn't a bloody navy interview. We'll figure out who's who and what and whom you can do as we go along. I mean go go along. Get it up! No time to waste! Carpe all your diems!" She clapped her hands together, dropping a golden earing on the table(it seemed rather familiar to Viola...) proclaiming: "I'll pay for all your drinks too, as a proper captain ought to, for their crew!" she clapped again, loud enough to startle you and pointed to the door, before rushing out, giving you little time to get your bearings.<br/><br/>Once you follow the impulsive blonde outside, watching her short dress sway revealingly to put most other harbour-whores to shame, you see her just stand there, staring into the late evening sky and swaying slightly. She seems drunk at best and crazy at worst, as she.. frees her shoulder and tilts her head away from it.<br/>"Waaait for *hic* it..." She proclaimed, with a parrot suddenly fluttering down towards her.<div class="floatright">(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0b/1c/c2/0b1cc27f9f59210aeb268e929965e3aa.jpg)</div>"Rawwwwk! Where's the Rum gone?" The one-eyed parrot demanded to know, only for Rovana to present a waterskin to it, pushing the skin up, so that the parrot could wet it's beak. for a long moment. "This is One-eyed Joe, or just Joe, me.. no,.. our! Lookout. So how's it Joe?" "Rawwwk! Board the Ship! Weeewwoooo!" The parrot insisted, fluttering on towards a three-master pirate ship. It was.. not exeptionally impressive, but still not bad at all. It seemed Rovana had not lied about being a captain after all!<br/>(https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1XS0RPVXXXXXFXFXXq6xXFXXX7/Classic-Living-Room-Art-Wall-Decor-Fantasy-Pirate-Pirates-Ship-Boa-Oil-painting-Picture-HD-Printed.jpg_640x640.jpg)<br/><br/>Rovana approached, presenting the ship and glancing along the writing on it's side towards it's fiurine of a blind-folded lady with her chest exposed.<br/>"My ship, the Red Whore." She presented and you could have sworn she had to read the name of her own ship out loud. "Ever sailed on a ship before? Hah, well well, I'll teach yer quickly! Get on up, get on up. It's fully stocked to set sail, just needs a capable, heroic crew for me!" She grinned, the cold sea-air seeming to clear her buzz a little, although she still seemed a little wavery on her legs.<br/><br/>Even whilest Rovana presented the ship, a single pirate-guard stepped up, then grinned down towards Rovana, wandering down, he himself swaying a little.<br/>(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4a/3e/7d/4a3e7d7aaba9f74a48cdd32d54c978b6.jpg)<br/>"Haah.. my pretty! Ye haven't forgotten about me! Guarding the ship all alone.. the captain really hates me, but a good whore like you knows better eh.. hoooh.. you brought a bunch of pretty friends?" He leered over to the group. "Hmnn.. Ladies. I'm not even sure I can handle all of you.. but you all can handle me!" He grinned, wiggling his eyebrows, and then thrusting his hands forward, grabbing Viola's left and Meera's right breast unashamedly, hefting the soft mounds of theirs right up and leaning forwards... only to be pulled away from feeling up the two women by Rovana, who quickly had her arms slinked behind his back, cooing softly at him.<br/><br/>"Ohohoho. Now now, you.. *hic* you wouldn't just stare at all these other women with me around, now, would you?" She cooed. "Haha, you see.. well" He chuckled, trying to glance back, only for Rovana to tilt his head back towards her, shushing him. "I mean, not that I blame you, my companions are quite the knockouts, aren't they?" She asked playfully, keeping her hands crossed behind the mans back.. and pointing with one finger to the back of the drunk pirates head, whilest keeping him occupied with soft, slightly drunk cooing. "Hahaha, yeah!" "Hahaha! Seriously though, we should keep an eye on that tavern, lest all your mates come and want some too, aye? I bet you'd hate to share any-of-this-" She cooed innocently, hands wandering along the outline of her form, pushing out her loosely obscured breasts and swaying her hips sensually.<br/><br/>It's a windy but warm late evening in the piratey port town. Above your head, drawing lazy circles is the red parrot Joe. about 10 ft ahead of you stands Rovana, currently flirting with the black haired pirate with his back turned to you. You aren't exactly sure if you can trust this Rovana, but somehow her personality is magnetic enough to have pulled you along this far.<br/><br/><hr/>(Posting etiquette:<br/>Please use these (<div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">And/or spoilers</div><div class="spoiler_body"></div></div>) to denote ooc stuff, "" to denote speech and<em>italize</em>'spoken' thoughts to avoid confusion.<br/>Please post using the below format:<br/><div class="codeheader">Code: <a class="codeoperation" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="return smfSelectText(this);">[Select]</a></div><pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0;"><code class="bbc_code">[floatleft][img height=300][/img][/floatleft]<br/>[b][url=Character Sheet]Character name[/url][/b]<br/>[b]Tagging:[/b]<br/></code></pre>During battle, you can include relevant buffs, Ac, etc. But we'll get to that later. )
