(To be fair it is a tavern and most probably assumed she wanted to sing)

I think that's why I was okay with because a lot of the time, I don't know for sure cause I've never been in one, but bars, taverns, clubs have music on some sort)

Elena found her eyes locking onto some loud red-haired woman that was singing. She was looking at her as if she fully expected Elena to join in the song with her. Because what? That's what she, as a siren's daughter, was supposed to be known for? The captain scowled at the woman making it a point to address she did not find the callout amusing and rolled her eyes. Elena did not sing. Not anymore. Her face only hardened when she saw one of her crew, looking fairly uncomfortable with a certain drunk captain. Instantly, she felt herself go into a protective mode. Not only was Calypso a member of her crew and under her protection, but she cared for the girl like family. If she wasn't happy then neither was Elena. Turning to her friend, she gestured for her to follow and quickly approached Kieran. She knew the man had to be drunk to be making a scene such as proposing in a crowded tavern. Not that it excused his actions in anyway. He may be young and a drunk but he should know better than to try anything with someone of her own crew. As she reached the back of his chair, Elena gripped him roughly by his shoulders and gave him a sweet smile. "It's been too long, Kieran," she said, but her eyes didn't hold the same warmth. Glancing up at Calypso through her eyelashes, Elena's features softened slightly and she changed languages for a moment. " ¿Te está molestando, Calypso?" liz Pebble Rusty! Flamestar96

"Well, 'cause I'm a fool, you see." Kieran took another swig from his bottle. "And maybe a little drunk... but mark my words, I'd sail to the end of the earth to ensure a life with you..." he was about to take another drink when he felt the hands on his shoulder.
"Well I'll be damned," he said, leaning his head back to look at Elena. "Old Scratch's daughter herself! Say, are you here for old Avery's kid as well?"
He looked back to Calypso as he heard her being addressed by name. "Calypso... such a fitting name for a... siren like... you." It finally clicked. Who'd have thought?
"Aww, piss. You're with her?" He asked, crestfallen, with a finger pointed to the left of where Elena was.
( Protective Elena is literally a whole queen oml )

Hahaha Leo I'm actually kind of glad that you rejected Scarlet.. From the start I thought it was interesting take and may work, but I know now how dumb that idea was! Now, just to come up with a different plan, maybe not one that is that up front XD)

(I don't think it was a dumb idea Flame! I think that the idea made sense for the setting and the reputation, I just had to stay true to Calypso and respond accordingly. I'm looking forward to reading Scarlet's new tactic though!!)

For me, I believe I'm thinking too much pop culture pirates. Like don't get me wrong, they likely do sing and do shanties on ships, but maybe leave the singing to tavern workers or bands, not random people in the bar. Thank you though!)
Yeah I can understand the way you had Calypso responding, I mean there was a lot going on at once, so definitely overwhelming. My next tactic may be a little more of Elena's weakness. XD)

(I'm interested in what you have planned next lol cause you're gonna have to work even harder with her now) "Aye, she's with me. The actual Siren," she confirmed, her voice lowering into a threatening tone. She moved from behind the man and went to stand protectively next to Calypso. She sat casually in her hip, one hand resting on the back of Calypso's chair and the other resting casually on the hilt of her sword. She stared down the other captain with an annoyed gaze. Though she didn't care much for Kieran, he was her ally so she wasn't supposed to hurt him. Much at least. But, she was fully prepared to remind him why she continued to hold the title of Siren and why that made her dangerous. "Now tell me, are you so much of a drunken fool that you can't find the logical part of your brain that would say proposing to some girl you just met was a poor decision?" she asked as she tapped the hilt of her sword with a finger. "You are a drunk but you are not a complete fool." Rusty!

A fool indeed, Calypso silently agreed with Squid Boy. In spite of this, however, Calypso couldn’t help but still feel immensely curious about this young drunkard of a captain. Then again, curious was her natural state.
Calypso was starting to feel better by the time Elena joined Squid Boy and herself. There was another captain with her, whom she recognized to be Morgan, captain of The Flying Pearl. “Solo está borracho. Estoy mejor, gracias Elena.” Calypso responded gratefully. She lifted her chin and straightened her back to demonstrate that she was just as strong as ever.
The young pirate knew she was strong, mentally and physically, but she was just as aware that she got inexplicably anxious sometimes. Calypso had just chalked to something that her past likely caused.
Well, at least she now knew this man’s name, Kieran. Eh, Calypso decided that he’ll always be Squid Boy to her, especially after today. “Yes, Elena is my captain.” She wasn’t quite sure why he acted so disappointed.

I'll be honest, I'm up for it now because I had a feeling you wasn't going to make it easy for Scarlet. I have a partial idea, but I need to develop it a little more. And by 'develop it more' I mean I can't post until later because I have to leave to get a haircut! XD)

(Oooo you opened a door I was thinking about exploring Rusty! XD) Elena forced a smile through every assumption her drunk ally made. How he winked at her like they were close friends and was completely infatuated with her little sister he already was. He knows how protective Elena is over the women in her crew. But jealous... she doesn't get jealous. And she was going to make that point until he brought up a past interest. That was a topic that was always off limits, no matter what. She scoffed and scowled at Kieran. "If you are referring to my previous captain, you would do well to remember that I sent him tumbling into the ocean with a cannonball strapped to his boots," she threatened as she narrowed her eyes. She knew that wasn't the man he was referencing, but she refused to speak on the topic any more than they already had. "Besides, I'd say you do not know better. Otherwise, you'd be quick to recognize the jealousy in your own words," She said as she recovered from her scowl into a cocky smile. Elena hated it whenever someone addressed her by a nickname. Especially if it was someone that she didn't care for. She tilted her head to the side and let her hair fall from her face. "Isn't that right, Pendejo?"

Scarlet's face stayed emotionless as she watched Elena stare right back at her and ignore her attempt to acknowledge her. Hmmm... Interesting. She tilted her head as she listened in on the conversation going on between Kieran, Calypso, and Elena. Maybe one would slip up and reveal a detail that would serve her for another time. Scarlet knew one thing from this small exchange between the drunk and the Siren. Her past was one of the worst ways to get on her bad side. Her attitude and demeanor said it all.
Leaning back in her chair, Scarlet closed her eyes, taking in a big breath before releasing it in small sections. Her brain replayed the past twenty minutes of conversation from Elena's betting to the current situation with Kieran. From what she could remember of the betting, the other captain wagered a map. Then, Elena wagered herself and her crew for six months of service under that captain. There's no reason for the Siren to wager that much on the line. Especially from what I've heard of her background and that conversation with the drunk fellow. She rose to power, meaning there was no way she would give it up. Unless she wagered herself and her crew knowing that she would win the bet. Which means someone loves treasure and exotic items.
Scarlet lowered her head, giving off a twisted smile as a new plan started to formulate in her head. Instead of waiting to see whom the new Pirate King was, she pushed herself up and headed out of the tavern. Scarlet smirked as she headed off toward a place she called her hideaway. A small little shack left over just ten minutes from the center of town. The place used to belong to and old fisherman and his wife. They passed away a year before Scarlet started to use it under the alias of Maleena Simmaran. Thankfully, no one bothered the shack after a rumor spread that a thief tried to break in and was found hung from the side of the fort in Port Royal with the words "Whose next?"
Stepping over the tiny wooden porch where a hidden trip wire would shoot a concealed flintlock at the trespasser, Scarlet pushed open the door and proceed into the dimly lit room. She veered over to a candle and lit it with a swipe of a match next to the wax. The room brighten at the flame's expense and Scarlet moved over to a gray wooden chest with padlock over the clasp. She pulled a key from inside one of her pockets and slid it into the lock. She pushed open the chest and began to search around the crate. Her hand sifted through many documents of her bounties, but at the bottom where some of the unique items she received for a successful job. "Where is it?" Scarlet muttered in annoyance.
Her hand brushed against the item she was looking for and a small smirk appeared on her face as she carefully lifted a ruby skull the size of an large apple. Although Scarlet doubted that Elena would be impressed by the skull itself, but the location in which it was founded might be a turning point. Along with the skull, her past employer give her the map to the location of many more exotic treasures. These would be her bargaining pieces, as well as her service to the Siren's Secret.

Calypso couldn’t get word in to Elena and Kieran’s exchange. However, she didn’t really feel it was her place to speak anyway, they were captains and Calypso herself was just a crew member. And Elena was fully able to defend herself, Calypso wouldn’t hesitate to jump in when necessary.
There were some comments made that the young pirate didn’t fully understand, and that peaked Calypso’s curiosity. She remained cool as she thought of what she didn’t know. Well until Squid Boy spoke again.
Sleeping habits? Calypso’s green eyes were erupted in flames. Her brows became furrowed as her eyes narrowed. The Siren’s Secret was a family, and what the women on the ship chose to do with their time and their bodies was their choice and theirs alone. Same as any man. She opened her mouth to let Squid Boy have it, but Elena spoke first. Probably for the best.
“Me sabes Elena,” Calypso responded once Elena had addressed her. “No so tan crédulo.” It was true, Calypso disliked flirting and seducing random people, because, as she stated before, that was her choice. Unless of course she was instructed to do so or had something to gain from it.
The exchange of cutting words continued for a few more moments before Kieran proposed the bet. Seriously, the kid needed to stop making proposals. Calypso laughed in response, “Oh, my dear Squid Boy,” Calypso cooed, allowing her eyes to directly meet his. “I beg you not to make this bet, as you will lose. I am only trying to protect you. Haven’t you been listening. Elena is my sister, of course I am her closest confidant, second only to the great Elyssa.” Her voice was sweet and as close to genuine as she could get. “Please,” she began again, placing her hand on top of his, “If the new King is already here, then the bet would automatically be invalid.”
Calypso rested her case, hopefully it was enough to convince the young captain.
(If I'm being honest I could totally see Calypso becoming rebellious down the road and hooking up with Kieran xD)

So from what I've experienced, meaning I've only been a part of this RP for a short period of time, but Kieran seems like the guy, James Norrington, from Dead Man's Chest, no offense Rusty! XD.)

(hey guys! So I have some kinda bad news. Due to some outside situations, and just being a bit overwhelmed with life, I don’t know if i can keep being active online. I’m gonna take a break for a while, and try and get my life together for a bit, and I’m not sure when I’ll be back.
That being said, I totally want y’all to continue this RP! If someone wants to take over Cassian, feel free! Or, I’d someone wants to make an entirely new pirate king, that’s cool too! I just don’t want this to die bc I’m unable to stay active.
Again, I’m so sorry to leave like this, but I’m sure y’all will do great things with this RP! And I just didn’t want to ghost without warning.)
