[ if we want to timeskip to another random interaction after this, we totally can! If you have something in mind, go for it, or if not, we can just free write from all the little things i have in my brain lmao or we can put a pause on this and focus on the actual rp in present-time xD ]
She turned his head with her talk of protection. A strong word, the embodiment of which he craved for himself and for others. He had been unable to protect Jane, but maybe now he had a chance to make up for it, or so Lilith’s eyes seemed to say. As if it were that easy for make up for something so… bad. As much as he wanted to accept how similar these people were to people on land, he couldn’t. How did she know exactly what to say to reach him, so soon after they just met? How could she know the way to his heart already? She had a silver tongue. Don’t trust it. Pirates were amoral animals. If Lilith made it sound like they protected each other as a family, it was only because they were like a pack of wolves. They would turn on each other with a drop of the coin, he just knew it. When things got tough, pirates were not the type to stick around. “Nothing personal.” That, he could believe.
He met her gaze and made no reply to her forewarning to be on his best behavior. Then she began to lead him around the ship, from the starboard to the bow, then around in a circle along port, stopping momentarily at the stairs to the helm at the stern, until they had returned to the start of the little tour. Most of what she said sounded familiar, but on a larger scale, and with more hands available to do the work. He didn’t ask questions, understanding what would be expected of him and thinking it would be better to learn from his mistakes, if he made any, than to interrupt this young woman.
She was almost quiet for a time, giving him a chance to breathe and take another look across the deck before she turned to him and spoke again, asking something he hadn’t expected but, looking back on it, he realized he should have seen it coming. Lilith wanted to know if he was of any actual value to the Broken Dagger. Simultaneously, he wanted to prove himself worthy, and didn’t want to bother with an attempt. Her expression gave nothing away and he worried that whatever he had to offer wouldn’t be enough for her, let alone the captain of the ship. Her eyes were cold, opposing the warmth in his, and distracting him while he tried to think of what to say.
“Oh, I- I don’t know. I’ve never killed anybody-”-directly-“-and I’ve never robbed. But I know how to wield a sword, and knives.” The unspoken words behind those were of his inexperience. He had never used a gun, was fairly opposed of them because they scared him, but he had a funny feeling that would change. He looked at her, the two different-colored tides of their eyes meeting again like the waters of the two oceans.

Mason takes a sip of his drink as he observed everyone. Everyone was having a good time and no one decided to start a bar fight least not yet. He glanced over and notices his crewmates getting hit on. He simply smirked and shakes his head. The ladies of the Siren's Secret were deadlier than most people mainly men realized. He had seen plenty die at their hands and knew what they liked and didn't like. Captain Elena allowed him stay long as he kept followed her rules and kept making them coin. Frankly, he wouldn't have it any other way.

Did they really believe having a meeting in a tavern was the smartest idea? The Black Rose studied the building, analyzing the structure, taking notes of the exits, and even the people entering the lively place. She wanted to be prepared in case she encountered her new target, but with so many people and the description of the girl, this wasn't going to be a fast bounty. It was noted that Calypso was incredibly smart and likely not to be gullible like most of the bounties the Black Rose took. Although she was a part of the Siren's Secret crew, the document said she wasn't very much of a flirt nor cared when being flirted with.
After what felt like hours, the Black Rose had devised her plan. Join the Siren's Secret crew and attempt the assassination at a later date. The bounty had no timeline, so truly she could spend a year or more without results and no consequences would come from it. Only one problem stood in her way, for the longest time she had only been known as the Black Rose. She hardly ever used her original persona as there was no point. Everyone already feared her as the Black Rose and she always had her cloak cover her face, but to go back to a shell of what she was before would be difficult to say the least.
Letting loose a sigh, she slowly removed the hood of the cloak. She reached back behind her hand and pulled out the pins holding her red hair. She shook her head slightly and used her hand to space out her strands of hair. It took her a few minutes to move from her position in the room, overcome with uncertainty about the plan, except this was the best course to reach her bounty.
She brought herself to the front of the tavern, slowly opening the door and headed inside to a table tucked in a corner. From this moment and until her bounty was completed, she was Scarlet Rose Wolfe.

"Stop crying and get up!" a man shouted at Scarlet as she laid on a makeshift cot inside of a stone room with a single hard-wood door. Her face stained with tears and red from her crying, but she obeyed knowing if she didn't listen then another beating would come to her. She wore tattered clothes that barley fit her. Thankfully, they were on the bigger end, which meant she may grow into them. She lost count of how many days she had been here. Is it 58 or 60 days? She was taken from her family, like some of the other children at the place.
The hardwood door opened up and a man snapped his fingers at her, an indication for her to follow him. She rose from the cot and walked with the man. His face was dirty as was his hands, and she noticed that he carried a set of keys on his leather belt. She was half tempted to take them now, but what was she going to do with them? She didn't even know where any of the exits to the building were. No, for now she would wait.
Ever since Scarlet arrived at this terrible place, they did horrible things to her to try and break her will. To get her to follow their orders without question or receive a punishment. If she didn't walked when they said, she would be slapped across the face. If she tried to struggle against them, she would be whipped once or more. Sadly, Scarlet had fallen victim to their methods, understanding that if she disobeyed then she would receive pain, but her will hadn't been broken yet. There was fight inside, but she had to wait for her time to strike.
The man lead her into a room where in the center was a large rectangular pit of sand. It was pretty big, but she noticed many of the other children were there. Some even bigger than her. Scarlet fell into line and she waited to see what task they would be asked to do.
"Today, you will start training," a stern voice that comes from a woman standing on the opposite side of the sand pit. "Some of you may be smaller than we wanted, but you may use that skill to your advantage. Now, understand we are training you to be some of the best that the world has ever seen. Welcome to the Academy where you will learn to be the best assassin throughout the seven seas."

( Heh...)
Kieran finished off his drink, speaking to the other man he was sitting with of a funny adventure he'd recently been on. He turned and spotted her, then. The most beautiful woman he'd ever layed eyes on. Even in his inebriated state he knew this was that love thing people would often talk about.
He personally found the idea stupid. He'd heard tales of men who would sell their ships for a house to settle in with a wife. It was all rubbish to him. What pirate would trade a ship for a stationary life?
But in this moment he knew he would have, in a heartbeat, given everything he had for her. And so Kieran marched over to Calypso, taking a seat next to her.
"Well hello there," he began, a warm smile on his face. "What's a girl born of sea foam doing in a place like this?" He asked.
Realizing this must have sounded weird, he tried remedying his mistake. "That's, ah... a reference to Aphrodite. Greek goddess of beauty. She was born in sea foam." He paused and stayed silent for a few moments, then cleared his throat and continued.
"I've got a ship. The Blind Squid. Maybe you've heard of it?" He sounds very full of himself during the last sentence. "Fought off Spanish galleons before... where might you come from?"

As the wench, Clara, walked off and left Calypso alone, the pirate sat up in her chair, running a purposeful hand through her thick, dark hair. She supposed it was time to resume her surveillance of the tavern from her corner of the building. Her green eyes scanned the room at all the conversations happening. She tried to focus and listen in on anything around her, but most of it seemed like a series of bragging.
Calypso saw the man – er, boy, rather – drunkenly march towards her, right away. So much for trying to go unnoticed. She didn’t recognize the boy; he had dark hair and a very young face. Calypso allowed herself to look unbothered as the boy pulled up a chair to sit with her. The table was too small for two people, but she doubted that the boy noticed in his current state. She moved her belongings off the table and onto her lap to avoid them being ruined and or looked at and such.
“Uh, hello,” Calypso greeted in return. And then he went on to use a line on her. Oh dear God, Calypso thought, not this, anything but this. Of course she understood the reference right away, her name was Calypso for heaven’s sake, but she allowed him to explain the line further.
And wasn’t the sea foam in which Aphrodite came from formed from the King of the Titan’s cut off… parts? She thought smugly to herself, causing her to smirk.
“I’m here for a gathering,” Calypso said simply. The boy went on to say he was a part of a crew, but he worded it curiously, as if the ship was his own. “The Blind Squid, hm? The name’s definitely familiar to me. You say it’s yours?” Calypso asked with a raised eyebrow, not yet answering the questions directed at herself. Calypso’s green eyes met the boy’s own directly as she spoke to him.

Scarlet kept her head down, but her eyes up as she surveyed the room full of villainy and scum, but then again, she was also a part of that villainy. Giving a silent sigh, she brushed a strand of red hair to cover a small portion on the right side of her face. As loud as it was in the tavern, she could hear bits and pieces of commentary from each of the tables throughout the building. Except none were useful in his search to find this Calypso girl. She may have a description, but some people could have the same color. Thankfully, the document stated that the girl had a large tattoo on her left forearm on a wasp.
Before she could even start to look around, Scarlet noticed a drunk young man stumble his way over near a young, beautiful girl with rich dark chocolate brown hair. Scarlet caught herself staring too long at the girl, a weird sensation rising in her, but her attention snapped back to the man as he attempted to flirt with the girl. She even picked up on his pick-up line. Scarlet gave off a soft giggle to herself, not because it was cute, but the line was fairly pathetic. Especially considering the origin of Aphrodite. Dear god, if you have to explain your own pick-up line that you really shouldn't be flirting with others? Sober or drunk.
After a few moments, Scarlet slowly started to lend her ears elsewhere when she noticed the girl's eyes. Green. A really vibrant green. No.. that can't be her. There is no way this is the girl I'm suppose to be hunting. Damn it, why does she have to actually look like she is a demigod of Aphrodite? The biggest problem was finding the captain of the Siren's Secret and convincing her to let Scarlet join the crew. Elena Mendoza was an extremely tricky and dangerous pirate who had many of Scarlet's skills of seduction, but the captain was even better. She wasn't known as the "The Seductress" without good reason.

Elena eyed her friend over the rim of her cup. She tried to pretend like she had no idea what the other captain was suggesting. But it was no use. Morrígan had seen right through her. She smirked and rolled her eyes. Elena gazed over the crowd listening to the woman express her excitement and theories about what their late king's son might look and act like. Then she went a proposed a game to see if they could spot him. She played like she was thinking over whether or not she would play along. She wouldn't tell her friend that she had already asked around everywhere and that no one had heard a thing. Besides, him and his crew where probably doing their best to hide Avery's spawn from the rest of the court. But if she guessed correctly... "Oh? And what do I get if you lose?" she asked tilting her nose upwards, challenging her. Confident that either she'd win this game or neither of them would. "It's more fun if there's something at risk don't you think?" She asked as she gripped other woman's hand firmly. An agreement to play along. {{ I’m so so so sorry this is long overdue! }} Studying Elena with a mischievous grin she hummed in thought. “If I were a betting woman, I’d wager three of my good maps. Two would lead you to some of the most exotic and inexpensive markets I’ve stumbled upon and the third would lead you to a temple of invaluable wealth.” Sighing she added, “But seeing as I am as far from a betting woman, I’ll wager one. And if I find this mysterious man? What is in it for me? Besides eternal gloating privileges.” Morrígan couldn’t help but smile, too intrigued at the game ahead of them. It was the excitement of discovering something that lured her in of course, addicted to the feeling of finding things before others. Her sense of adventure always led her down colorful paths and she knew this would be no different. The task itself seemed harrowing, especially when she considered the fact a dozen ships were looking for him and had presumably found nothing so far. Still, she grasped Elena’s hand just as tightly and let her eyes roam the tavern as she listened to the woman speak.
