Still interested! It seems to me it died out again bc no one volunteered to take over cassian who is basically the center of the rp
If we could get someone to take the lead we could go ahead and do the meeting again and get the ball rolling and maybe get farther than we did last time lmao
I would love to see all the character interactions and development and backstories still c:

I'd do it, but I haven't been a part of the RP long enough to know how to RP Cassian nor do it well enough to give justice to elo for the character lol)

I’m not sure I could do Cassian justice if I took him over
Alternatively, we could either start before the meeting or skip the meeting entirely and just rp after the ships have been paired up, with the first mate on Cassian’s ship taking control for now. Perhaps we can say Cassian fell ill. That way nobody has to take him over and we can still rp. I know it involves skipping the meeting but...)

Yeah that’s kind of what I was thinking? We could definitely use the same pairings for the ships as well unless other pairings might seem to work better)

Serhan Guney // Serhan is 34, and is just shy of 6 feet tall, but still imposing in size. A stocky and strong man with wide shoulders and thick arms. He has light skin with a warm undertone and dark hazel eyes. His hair is a coffee-brown colour, not long but getting there, wavy and messy with bangs almost falling over his eyes. His facial hair isn't at full 'beard' yet and along with some bags under his eyes he generally looks scruffy and disheveled. He typically wears leather armor with bits of steel studding here and there that only accentuates his shoulders. Well-made as far as mercenaries can come by but nothing fancy. // Serhan isn't anti-social but he doesn't say much, usually out of self-restraint to avoid saying too much. It shows that he's relatively new to the sort of lower circles mercenaries tend to find themselves part of where there aren't many people you can trust. He's cautious and polite, still a bit naive and hasn't yet fully recognized when someone's about to take advantage of that. He sticks to groups, not taking any leadership roles but goes along with others. He's only in the mercenary business to make a living, and isn't one for grand ambitions. // Serhan was a mercenary on the mainland who later joined the pirates for work. While still a newby, he's familiar with ships from growing up on some far away island nation, and the sea reminds him of home, for both good and for bad. // Crew member on the Broken Dagger // Morior

I guess I would be willing to take cassian but only for the meeting since I think it's kind of a key moment We could base it off the previous meeting tho for sure and only change things to fit with all the new characters and include everyone But then we can say he fell ill/there was a plot of poison against him so he kind of falls out of the picture a bit and we can continue rping with just our regular characters I dont want to skip the meeting altogether tho Did enough of our members come back that we can continue? I haven't been paying attention to who is posting lmao

Yeah I've got two weeks from tomorrow when my classes also start, so whenever, but although I'm not sure what went down in the old thread, I feel like the meeting should happen in some way because I might be a little lost without it lol. My character has her own agenda by trying to get on the Siren's Secret, but I'd be great if I knew what was going on XD)

Feel free to have any of your characters join in)
William ‘Billy’ Kidd stood at the stern of The Neptune, barking a few orders as they chased down a small merchant vessel that they came across in their way back to Port Royal. On some occasions, the captain of The Neptune would allow their Quartermaster, Billy, to take the lead and be in charge, or if the captain was sick, full control was placed in Billy’s hand until the captain was healthy again. Now was one of those days.
“Haul on the main brace, five degrees! We need a little bit more speed.” Billy barked, meaning for the men to tighten the sails some to increase speed, and brace was another word for rope. “Speed?” He asked before two men went to side of the ship. They took a knotted length of rope, with a piece of wood tied to the end. One man tossed the end with the wood into the water as the other man counted the time.
“Time!” One man called, before another man yelled “Present speed, 6 knots!”
Billy nodded his head as he eyed the ship ahead of them. It wasn’t much of a ship, but The Neptune also wasn’t much of a ship, not very large in size, not as well armed as most of the other pirate ships. They simply couldn’t afford the risk of going after ships with larger loads of cargo.
After an hour of drawing nearer to the ship, Billy finally decided that it was time. “Gun crews, at the ready! Prepare the bow chasers! If we are lucky, we can get them to surrender relatively quickly.” Billy ordered, and his orders were echoed from other men as they hurried to prepare their guns.
“Gun crews, ready!” Yelled a man on the ship. Billy held his hand up, waiting for the right time as they drew closer to the merchant ship ahead of them. “Hold, steady, not yet.” He said, giving them a little more time to get into range, before bringing his hand down really fast. “FIRE!” He shouted, and the air filled with the sound of cannon fire.
As the cannonballs tore through the stern of the vessel, the ship raised a white flag of surrender, making Billy smirk slightly. “That’s enough, boys!” He shouted before adding “Bring us up to her!” Slowly, The Neptune pulled up to the ship. “Prepare to board her.” Ordered Billy, and the men rushed to lay some boards between the ships to walk across.

Posting this for a future plot)
Thomas Barron sat in the captains quarters of the HMS Scarborough, reading a book. The Scarborough and another ship, the HMS Adventurer, were leaving the great city of London. Captain Barron’s orders were to head south and patrol the waters near the West Indies, and he always followed his orders.
He placed his book down and picked up another, examining the leather cover before opening it up. This book held the schedules of every English ship. Schedules for the Navy Ships, merchants, treasure galleons, and even slave traders. His job was to make sure they were all safe, as well as hopefully catch a pirate crew or two and take them back to London for hanging.
The Navy were sending out groups of two ships to patrol all and protect the English ships. The ships that the Scarborough has to protect were important, that’s why the navy sent out two Man-of-War ships to protect them, the Scarborough and the Adventurer. They had to protect three merchant vessels stocked full of goods, the finest silks,spices, etc., two slave traders who were transporting forty-five slaves on each ship back to London, and they also had to protect an English treasure galleon that was carrying ten million dollars in English gold coins.
So Thomas was making sure his men stayed in line. He didn’t want any fooling around, or they would feel his wrath. He was a no nonsense man, which is why he’s been such an effective captain for the navy. Thomas took the book of schedules and placed it back in a drawer under his desk, locking the drawer shut before placing the key inside his shirt pocket. The man smirked slightly as he leaned back in his seat, getting more comfortable. He picked up his previous book and flipped through the pages until he found where he left off. “Let’s see if I can finish this book before we encounter anyone on the sea.” He said to himself.
SEVERAL WEEKS LATER:
Canon fire filled the air. The Scarborough and The Adventurer had spotted two ships earlier that day, and decided to approach them to see who they were. Turns out they were pirate ships, and they fled as soon as they spotted the duo approaching them. Captain Barron had given the order for them to give chase, and they quickly gained on the other ships. Now they started to open fire with their bow chasers, and he knew they would surrender within the next minute. You’d be a fool not to. The pirates couldn’t defeat them in a fight, and they weren’t fast enough to evade them either.
Just then, both pirate ships raised a white flag in surrender, and the two navy ships pulled alongside them, one on the left of the two ships, and one on the right. The navy men stormed the two ships, guns at the ready, preparing for a possible ambush. Thomas followed after them. “Lay your weapons down over there and then walk over there and kneel down!” He shouted, pointing in two different locations. “Men, take them down to The Scarborough’s hold.”
“I feel like a man has a right to know who plans to kill him, or what happens now that he has been captured. You will be taken back to London, and you will be hanged for your crimes against the crown.” He said blankly before heading back to his cabin. “I still have to finish my damn book.”
