Furry Bay Pirate RP

[White Wolf Guardian]

*White hid in an alcove above the cabin, but under the deck above in a small unnoticed area of the ship* "I'll just wait till it's dark and then I'll plunder some food for travels." *The wolf started to make his plotting for what to do for the next few days* "So the idea is that I don't get caught so that no one even knows I'm on this cesspool of a ship and therefore I have the advantage to play this out as much as I will if people think other people are stealing from each other." *He grinned and decided to watch the people intently from his view, hearing the captain yell at his first mate* "Wonder what happened over there, perhaps the crew are not to the captain's liking...?"

[Entaru]

Entaru wilted at Kitt's comment about the Captain.  Encouraging?  What in Davy Jones locker have I gotten maself inta?  Shaking off the scare he set about to inspecting the ship.  He needed to find out what was wrong with the ship, and what was the highest priority to fix.  I can ansa both of those with the inspection.  What's wrong?  EVERYTHING!  Highest priority to fix?  Getting offa this bloody, floating deathtrap before it gets into deep water!

"Now i know she dont look like much..." Kitt walked along the side of the ship, watching them... "But she's fast.... faster than any ship i seen round these parts anyhow.... and shes shallow so we can go almost completely up-river without once hitting the bottom...." He stopped and looked across the new crew..... hopefully captain Black's outburst wouldnt have put them off... he sighed... it was hard, retraining a crew every month or so.. simply because the captain got suspicious or too drunk....

"Kitt! Get in me' cabin now!" A rather drunken shout emanated from the Captains cabin... Sighing again, Kitt stepped cautiously in... "Yes Cap'n?..." Captain Black stood up from his desk, teetered on the spot for a moment and seemed to regain his balance... "Kitt me savvy sailor... you know why i marooned the last crew?"... he didnt wait for a reply before continuing... "They was after me' treasure.... Those flea-ridden scum bags was after it... and i knew.... you my boy... you would never go after ol' Blacks treasure would ya?"

Kitt shook his head hurriedly, still keeping close to the cabin door.... "well tha's good... ol' Black can trust you cant he..... not like the others... no me' boy.... you'd never do that...." Little did the captain know, even know Kitt was secretly hoping that crazed fox would finish the crazed old wolf soon.... please let it be soon...

Miles and miles away, across open ocean and beyond distant islands, a great ship sat anchored in the dock at a large fort..... Inside the spacious captains cabin a man sat at his desk, flicking spots of dust from his resplendent red-tailed coat... before him lay a map, at least twenty hands wide and an almost exact copy of the one Captain Black had on his desk.... As he carefully studied the many scrawled instructions across the aged cloth of the map, a soldier in a bright red coat and black boots marched in...

"Admiral sir! We have found the identity of the pirate scum who stole the counterpart to the map... one who goes by the name of 'Captain Black"..."

The Admiral looked up, and smiled... "This will be easier than i expected... Black and his motley crew are a shambles... theres no chance of them getting to the island before me.... soldier, send out a message... we set sail tonight.... Captain Black will be no threat, despite him having got the other map..."

Watching as the one called Kitt marched in to see Captain Black it was time to finish inspecting the rickety old ship and the rest of the assembled crew. Jacob popped open a bottle of rum he managed to swipe under someones nose on his way out of the tavern and said in a hearty tone, Anyone care to join me for one last drink before we sail to our deaths? Jacob chuckled for a moment before taking a swig of the rum and then held it out for any takers, smiling warmly.

"Well you seem pretty happy 'bout this." Terry said drinking the last of the rum he got at the tavern and tossed it onto the dock were it shattered to pieces. What am I going to do? With the look of the ship it would probably sink into the depths if it bumped into anything. Good thing it was small enough that we might not bump into anything. If the boat sunk before they got far out enough he could probably savage a piece of the boat's mast to float on, and if it got far out it might not break at all. He kept trying to reassure himself that he would die within the next couple of day, but he just couldn't convince himself.

Dixon stood back, looking at the cracks in the ship, the rot, little holes in the wood.
"It can probably barely get out of the bay, and if it can, it's still terribly broken." He smirked, and breathed a laugh. "How poetic." He walked over to Jacob, sat beside him and Terry and looked over the sea, remembering the distance.

[Moongaze]

Jacob looked Terry right in the eyes and inspected him.  He seemed meek, Jacob wasn't even sure if he ever got into a scruff or if he ever killed someone, or for the sake of argument getting boozed up and for no reason firing off a cannon that belongs to the royal navy.  There could be some trouble in him.  He just needed to let it out.

Boy... Jacob said directly at Terry, If it tis a life at sea you be wantin'... you have a lot to learn. Jacob left it at that.  He never had any kind of a compassionate side, and he never felt the need to reach out.  He has a very direct attitude amongst things.

Jacob looked at Dixon and grinned, You my friend... have got it.  We might make it, we might not.  If we don't, we gave the sea one hell of a shot.  If I had any more rum to share with you, I would. Jacob continued to chuckle as the moments passed by.

[Righteousbro]

"I expect that, I'm expectin' ta get inta trouble, but this be the only life available right now. I don't care what I gotta do out 'ere ta make it by." Terry replied to Jacob as he remembered how horrible things where, how he could never get anything out of life when everyone else sat there doing nothing all day. In the life of piracy, he gets whatever he wants, plenty o' rum, and people know not to look down on him unless they want a bullet through their head. It was a lot better.

(Oh my...having so many characters makes remembering names hard...I corrected my last post...)

When things had seemed to settle down, Luna finally decided to stop being so chicken. She ambled out of the bushes, then out from behind the keg barrels at the corner of the pier, her mode of double protection, and walked out onto the dock, casting a look around. The ship in question seemed rather out of shape, but it wasn't like she cared so long as it got her where she needed to go. There were people about, the new crew, but she was far too nervous to speak with them. Being a rare species, an eastern horse, for so long, had made her particularly wary and, indeed, terrified of social situations. She coughed a little, the dull but harsh taste of her sugary rum rising in her throat threateningly.....it had been a month or more since her last drink.

Stroking her thick silvery hair out of her eyes, Luna began to wonder just how she planned on doing this....this crew didn't look too friendly, to top off her ever-present anxiety, and the Capitan was...well, she didn't want to think about what he'd do if he caught her stowing away...Maybe it was best to ask....

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt walked out of the captains cabin.... he really had gone mad lately.... mad with power... mad with alcohol... mad with that godarn map...
He sighed, walking past the new crew.... They'd happened across the map when raiding a red-coat's ship, the captain had guarded it carefully ever since then, intent on finding whatever the map showed... it was hard to tell, but Black mentioned things about 'a series of maps'... and 'one ultimate treasure'... Madness, thats what it was...


Down on the dock several ferrets where pulling a wagon laden with barrels towards the Black Fang, they pushed past Luna hurriedly and stopped at the gang-plank...
"Ahoy! Delivery for a Captain Black here.... he's already payed so we'l just load her up!"

Kitt looked over the side to see the barrels of rum, fresh fruit and salted meat.... well, at least the captain wasnt mad enough to not buy necessities... "Alright, bring 'em up... the crew can help loading!" He turned to the new crew "C'mon... time to start earnin' yer pay... just load the barrels into the cargo hold... theyre yer food n' drink so be carefull with 'em.."

Jumping down the gangplank Kitt started to help the ferrets with the first barrel of rum, and noticed a very unusual species standing less than two metres away... He looked up at Luna, half-guessing she was there about crewmanship... "You here to sign up fer' crewin'? If ye are we got plenty o' space aboard yet..."

[x]

Luna felt her hair stand on end when Kitt approached her. She faced him with a patient look in her eyes, not wanting to seem off or a threat in any way. "Why, yes, actually...I've been looking to join crew on a ship for what seems like ages now." She stepped nearer him, hoping he wouldn't turn her down for her race or her gender, a thing that happened to Luna more often than not.

[KittKat chunky~]

Kitt looked her up and down... she was an unusual sight around these parts... but really so was he, European Felines weren't exactly Mediterranean native where they?...
"Well... If you know how to sail, or are willin' to put in some sweat and hard work.... welcome aboard...."
He thought about what Captain Black's reaction would be to having a female on-board.... hopefully he'd be too drunk to care.... and anyway, their last crew had a woman in it... didnt stop Black from Marooning her though, the flea-ridden dog... He started to turn back to the ship and the loading of the rum and food, hoping the newcomer would follow...
"We've just been havin' to recruit a whole knew crew... so just make yersel' friendly with the other shipmates, and we're setting sail at noon... just as soon as we get the food n' drink aboard... th' names Kitt... First Mate to Captain Black, and yours?"

"I'd be willing to work as much as I'm needed," the horse replied heartily, at last smiling and nodding. "I'm Luna. I'm from the middle east, Egypt. Brought over here on slave trade." She eagerly followed, beyond glad her spot was secure...or at least semi-secure.

[Asia Kali Yusufzai]

Dixon smiled at Jacob, and sighed.
"I see things a different way. Surviving the sea is like surviving your own bedroom. It's the land that kills me, and that will disappear." His expression fell solemn, like a shadow under his skin. He shook his head and the smile returned.
"The captain's a fiery one. Makes you wonder why there isn't any crew." He smirked.

[Entaru]

Entaru quickly got to work loading on the supplies.  He grabbed a barrel of fruit and hefted it under his arm, not noticing Luna as he walked down the plank.  However, on his way back up he spotted her and nearly dropped the barrel on his foot as his jaw dropped.  Wow...is she part of ta crew?  Shouldn't she be....somewhere that int around a bunch o' drunken idiots?  Wow.
