(AHH this is so interesting and fun, and I know Calypso will hate any and all attention directed towards her (except from her trusted homie, Elena) haha)

Scarlet smirked as her ears picked up the sound of a betting game going on near the bar. A treasure map vs. half a year of service by the female captain and her crew. Not only was the topic intriguing as they discussed whom among them was the next Pirate King, but Scarlet had found her future captain. Elena Mendoza. Her Spanish accent was the give away, plus the added details of her being a captain. Now, getting the attention of Elena would be tricky.
She sat in the corner of the tavern, her brain rattling through ideas to get the attention of the Spanish captain. Scarlet didn't know much of the Spanish language, so that was a no go. Then, the idea came from out in the middle of the sea. Of course, how could I be so dumb? She's been labeled as a Siren and her ship is called the Siren's Secret. To approach a siren, I'll guess I have be a siren.
"The king and his men stole the queen from her bed, And bound her in her bones. The seas be ours and by the powers, where we will we'll roam.
Yo ho, all hands Hoist the colors high Heave-ho thieves and beggars Never shall we die.
Yo ho, haul together Hoist the colors high Heave-ho thieves and beggars Never shall we die!"
Scarlet hadn't sung for years, but her voice was often compared to that of the Muses. She always laughed at that comparison because of her nature. While she sung in the tavern, Scarlet only brought her eyes up to stare in Elena's direction. Almost everyone person in the tavern was a pirate and none of them would deny that they weren't unless they were dealing with authority. She knew they could hardly resist their shanties, but 'Hoist the Colors' was no shanty. The song was a sense of pride amongst all pirates.

Kieran's eyes brightened up in excitement. She seemed amused enough with what he was saying. Though he thought it was genuine enjoyment from his compliments. The man nodded rapidly. "Aye, ma'am! Relatively new to the helm." He flashed her a smile. "The old captain is..." he struggled to find words that weren't 'murdered in a mutiny,' or 'sleeping in the bottom of the sea with a barrel of rocks tied to his feet.' He decided to say, "Retired from his position. The crew's pretty satisfied with the new change in management." He said this cockily, but clearly he was more interested in Calypso. "So, do you have a ship? Oh, sorry if that's a stupid question... beautiful woman like yourself probably hates the idea of naval struggles." Surprisingly enough, he sounded like he'd already set himself up to be disappointed. Like a female pirate was exactly what he wanted to hear about. Calypso leaned back in her chair, propping her left elbow up on the chair’s back. She more fully faced the boy, now very curious. Definitely not because he was hitting on her, but because he was so young and saying that he was actually a captain. Calypso had that look on her face that she usually got when she was trying to understand something or learn more. It was her head slightly tilted, intense eyes, and a slight lip bite.
What was going on on The Blind Squid if they named a drunken boy to be captain? There definitely had to be something deeper here. “Is that so? Were you quartermaster at the time of his retirement? How old actually are you, Captain Squid Boy?” her eyes were flicking between his and filled with curiosity.
A smirk played on her lips as he asked his next question. “Actually, a woman such as myself is quite concerned for naval struggles. And loves every minute of it.”

Desmond Riley was now 13 years old. He was still a pretty small, lithe boy, but he was just starting to fill out his frame. His face was beginning to become squarer, but his cheeks were still rosy and youthful. His eyes were mischievous and a little over-confident.
Des’ mother had been on him to get a job for some time now. Apparently, she didn’t feel that pickpocketing was a reliable source of income, which was truly a shame in Des’ eyes because he was just so good at it.
The young teen was just reaching town now. He thought of all the places that might take him for work. Baker? Too boring. Blacksmith? Too hot. Potter? Too much sitting. Fisherman? He did always enjoy being on the water, as long as he avoided the men in the Navy. So, Des made his way down to the port.
When he arrived, Des immediately noticed that the energy at the port was different. The usual fishermen and vendors were not to be seen. Instead, a large, extravagant ship was docked. Men and some women that Des had never seen before were roaming about. Some had very serious faces, others looked tired, some were even drunk this early in the morning, but nearly every single one was loud. Desmond found these people to be interesting, yet dangerous, since almost everyone was adorned with weapons. Suddenly, something clicked in the boy’s mind.
Pirates.
Oh, now Desmond was definitely intrigued. He stepped on to the dock to get a better look of the crew and the ship, but perhaps that wasn’t the best idea.
“Ay what you lookin’ at, boy?” snarled a particularly nasty looking pirate.
“Ha! I bet he thinks he’s tough bein’ around us,” spat another.
“No, I don’t, I’m just looking around,” the dark-haired youth replied, standing up a little straighter.
“Oh, so you think we’re a show now, do you? Think you’re better than us?” the first pirate continued to prod at Desmond.
“No! I-“
The second pirate snickered and gave Des a shove, trying to bait the boy.
“Stop!” Des said firmly, his dark blue eyes were full of anger, but he was determined to stay cool. Plus, he was significantly smaller than these two grown men, and although faster, he was not going to run away.
Suddenly, a third pirate appeared. Des noticed how he carried himself differently from the other two pirates, with confidence and authority. Just his presence alone silenced the men who were picking on a 13-year-old boy.
“Captain Avery, sir,” greeted the first pirate, respectfully.
Captain? Des thought. He made eye contact with this pirate captain and instantly felt comfortable with the vibe he gave off.

"Well, not exactly his quartermaster, persay." Said Kieran slowly. "More his loyal adoptive son who would never want to turn his sword against his father." He said this slowly, his eyes turning dark for a few moments after as he looked back upon those events that had lead him to even consider sparking a mutiny to begin with. With a shudder, Kieran was smiling again at the beautiful woman.
He even perked up at her response of enjoying naval combat. "You must be joking! Oh, if God above could create anything better than you I wouldn't care for it. Madame, all I want is to share my feelings for you!"
Kieran got down on a knee. If it was attention Calypso didn't want, then that was totally the opposite of what he was dishing out. "Dear maiden of the sea, I have gone my entire life searching for treasure," Kieran said rather loudly. He plucked a ring non-chalantly off of a passing server, holding out the deftly stolen piece of jewelry to Calypso. "It would do me a very good kindness to accept this. A physical memory of me and this promise of mine that I shall be there for you no matter what! Be it friend, ally, or more... or all three! I will be there!" He finished off with a little flourish of his bottle, getting some of the stuff on the floor.
( Nobody: Kieran: calypso is literally the only thing i'll ever care about )

(WB!)
Mason perked up when the beautiful woman started singing. He blinked as her voice seemed to wash over the tavern. He leaned against the counter and just stares transfixed at her. Just who was this woman anyway? No way, she was a local but looks could be deceiving.

Henry Avery was not known as the type to be soft. He showed little mercy or compassion to those who were the victims of the pirates under his rule, as long as those pirates followed the pirate code. No, he was just as ruthless and heartless as the other captains on the Brethren Court. But when he saw the small boy being pushed around by two members of his crew, he felt a sharp pain in his chest.
The boy in question looked to be around the same age as his own son, Cassian, whom he hadn't seen in almost eight years. Clenching his jaw, the captain silently walked towards the scene, with a hand resting casually on the hilt of the sword at his side, letting his fingers tap the metal as he waited for them to notice his presence. As expected, it wasn't long before the two fools realized their king and captain was standing there, and he raised a thick eyebrow as one of them greeted him, but didn't respond. Instead, he studied the child before him.
"What's your name, boy?" He asked, his voice gruff, though his gaze was gentle.

Des studied the pirate captain in front of him. Boy was he intimidating. Des certainly would never want to get on this man’s bad side. He shot a quick look over to the pirates who were messing with him, glad that they were shut up. When he looked back at the captain, the boy didn’t know if it was foolish or respectful to look the captain in the eye.
Des tugged and the hem of his shirt, trying to fix it straight as the captain addressed him. “Erm, Desmond, sir. Desmond Riley.” Although he didn’t feel like it, Des spoke with confidence. He essentially has been living by the motto “fake it til you make it” his entire life, and this situation was no different.
Des wanted to say something more, maybe apologize for snooping around? But it wouldn’t be sincere, he had a right to be at the port, and it was these pirates who approached him. Maybe give into his curiosity and ask him questions? No, that would make him look stupid. Desmond bit the inside of his cheek from keep himself from getting in trouble. 𝐸𝓁𝑜𝓆𝓊𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒟𝓇𝑒𝒶𝓂𝑒𝓇

Suddenly, Calypso was very, very over-stimulated. Between the attention and loud proposal from Squid Boy and this random woman who just burst into song, Calypso was feeling anxious to say the least. She scanned the room hastily, looking through all the commotion, but that just seemed to make it worse.
“Hey, shh, stop.” Calypso half-asked, half-commanded. She barely processed the fact that he was offering his loyalty to her. She tucked that bit of information in the back of her mind. She pulled the man up from the ground back into his seat.
“I’ll, ah, have to get back to you on that, Squid Boy,” Calypso replied, her green eyes were once again looking around, searching for Elena. Her hands wouldn’t stop moving, furiously playing with her fingers; an attempt to recover the control that she felt she lost. Elena was always her go-to person when she got into, what Calypso referred to as, her fits.
The pirate’s mind was racing. Were people seeing her freak out? Did she look weak? Was everyone starring at her? Calypso tried controlling her breathing to calm down.
It was interesting, though, that internally Calypso was erupted in chaos, but externally appeared simply annoyed, fidgety, and a tad bit confused.
When Calypso finally felt a bit more composed, despite not being able to see Elena from where she sat, she turned her attention back to Squid Boy. She didn’t even know his name, and he certainly didn’t know hers. “I haven’t made a decision, but may I ask, why? And I’d prefer a much quieter response, thank you.”
