t' find th' booty yields a high cost.
T' open th' door one needs a key,
fer this quest ye will needs three.
A key o' red found in a grave,
t' find th' thin' ye must be Brave.
A key o' gold in th' land o' th' queen,
be prepared t' run if ye hear her sing.
A key o' black where time's reversed,
ye must be smart or ye'll be cursed.
these three keys must join as one,
beneath th' light o' hidden sun.
Once th' loot be in yer grasp,
do wha' ye must, but do it fast. "
There hasnโt been a man to sail the seven seas that didnโt know the tail of Captain Corso the Grim. A pirate unlike any others, he was a fearsome man. Just the sound of his name would make most men shiver in their boots. His reputation proceeded him. Merciless and bloodthirsty, it was said that he was able to end an armada, tearing it from the earth root and stem with a single ship. The Reaper.
Every bard in the taverns that sprinkled the Caribbean sang his songs and spoke the legends. Although each tale was different, they were equally impressive and intimidating. One legend claimed that his ship was a gift from none other than death itself. A menacing vessel for Grim to fairy souls to deathโs gates and satiate its hunger. While others claimed that Corso was death, risen up from the bowls of the earth to ravage the earth and drench his hands in the blood of the innocent. Whether they be truth or fable, no one knows, for whoever sets eyes on Corso the Grim never lives to tell the tale.
Through his many years of pillaging, ravaging and decimating whatever crossed his path, Corso amassed a treasure said to rival that of Cortez himself. And seemed as though all at once, the captain, his treasure, and the Reaper disappeared off the face of the earth. Rumors spread of the location of his sacred treasure, but no maps were made. The crew that worked Corsoโs ship disappeared along with it.
Whispers. Whispers and hearsay was all anyone ever heard. The most prominent of these tales being that the island the treasure is buried on--known as Arimathea or "The Garden of Eden"-- can only be found by charting the stars. Enemy to man but a friend to creatures, it is said the location of the treasure is guarded by many animals. They protect the valuable hoard along with the three keys needed to gain access to the endless trove.
Centuries have passed since the disappearance of Corso and his treasure. No more clues have been uncovered aside from the riddle that surfaced shortly after his vanishing. Many men have tried to find Corsoโs treasure over the years, but none have succeeded. An immeasurable prize out in the open waiting for the daring soul to solve the puzzle and discover the truth.[Scar.-]
When the infamous crew of The Stardust-- known for being not only the youngest but the trickiest bunch of pirates to sail the seas-- obtained a lead on Corso's treasure, the entire crew wanted to make sail for the hidden shores of Arimathea. It the treasure of treasures, the mystery of mysteries, and the ultimate quest for none had succeeded before. However, the captain of The Stardust, a young man by the name of Captain James Porter, decided it was too risky for his men and refused to sail. After a night of partying at Port Winchester, his Quartermaster seized the ship after raising a mutiny among the crew. She had convinced them the treasure would be worth the risk. To be the first crew to ever find the treasure... Plus they'd be rich til the end of their days.
But not all that glitters is what it's cracked up to be. As the crew sets sail on what is perhaps the most dangerous mission of their lives, all sorts of dangers rear their ugly and beautiful heads. Crackens, mermaids, ghost crews, and more... join the crew and set sail for Arimethea.

1. No Godmodding or Metagaming. Just because you know something out of character, doesn't mean you know something in character unless you've worked out with their player that your character knows. Savvy?
2. Keep the OOC separate of IC and vice versa. If you have problems with other players, come to me about it or take it up with them via PM and don't let it interfere with the story. We're writers. We're better than that.
3. If you would like to reserve a character, put the first password in the OOC which is your introduction and your character's face claim. You may add a photo if you so choose. Your FC doesn't have to be a pirate, but at least have enough pirate...ness to make it work. Let me know if there is a specific image you'd like to use for the front page. Otherwise, I'll go and find one.
4. You have a week to post. I will message you at that point and you have a week to get back to me. If I don't hear from you in those two weeks, I will remove your character and look for a replacement. I really want to keep this thing alive and to do that, I need active and interested players. If you can't post for whatever reason, if you're waiting for someone, or whatever the situation is, let me know so I don't kick you. Do we have an accord? Aiming for posts about once a week.
5. Drama and Romance are accepted and encouraged. The characters will spend a good amount of time on the seas and will need the... distractions. Your characters can have secrets they don't want others to know about as well.
6. This RP may contain some adult themes like sex, alcohol, drugs, violence, etc. so if these things bother you, you will find the plank to the port side. [[Or we can work it out. No need for hasty plank-walking.]]
7. The next password for your reservation will be your favorite piratey character. It can be a book character, movie character, tv show, etc. For example, mine is either Jack Sparrow or Alosa from Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller. She's badass. I also like Elizabeth Swan, but she's sometimes a bit too annoying for me.
8. The oldest character I am allowing is 26 and they will be the oldest on crew. I realize I hadn't specified the age but I was thinking late teens to mid-twenties. This crew is known as the youngest on the seas so they need to be on the young side... please.
9. Have fun! Please PM me if you have any questions.

Of course, the weather waits for no man, and there was nothing much he could do. From below him on deck, the crew was still bustling about, and others had gone below โWAVE! BRACE Y-" came a shout from below, and Julian could do nothing but try and steady the ship as a giant wave crashed onto the deck. He wasnโt worried, the crew was tied off, or at least he wasnโt worried until he watched Bill get torn off the side of the deck into the churning ocean beside the ship.
โMan overboard! Man overboard!โ cried Mead, panicking on deck.
โBill ya fucken fool!โ Julian searched around wildly for someone to take over the helm while still holding on. โAle! ALE! Cโmon lad take over this steering!โ Anyone who know the ship well could do it, and he handed off the helm to the first crewperson who arrived. Jules sprinted down onto the deck and grabbed a rope to secure around his waist. He grabbed Rum by the shoulder and dragged him over to the edge, searching down into the water for the body of the boatswain.
"There!โ Shouted Rum, pointing into the water, and Jules followed his arm to see the left side of Bill tossing around in the ocean.
โRight then,โ Jules gripped Rumโs arm again, keeping his sight on Bill to ensure he didnโt lose the man in the waves. โHold onto the end oโ this rope, and tie off too, ta make sure ya donโt get washed away. You keep yer eyes on me, and when I start wavinโ, you help me pull that bastard back up here.โ Rum nodded and the two men prepared themselves, ensuring the knots were tight and that Rum had a good grip on the rope. The preparation took maybe half a minute, and already Bill was rapidly drifting away from the boat. โHere we go then!โ He dove off the boat and felt the rope pull after him.
It was cold. Julian considered himself to be a decent swimmer, he wouldnโt have joined a sailing crew if he wasnโt at least decent. But these waters were treacherous, and the sea shifted him to and fro, towards and away from his goal of grabbing Bill and hoisting him onboard. He swam as hard as he could, but with the rocking boat and churning water. By the time he reached Bill, he was panting with effort and his limbs had gone numb. Bill was unconscious and his lips were blue, and Julian pulled him by the arm to his chest and tugged on the rope, waving with a numb arm up to Rum, who he hoped was still watching from the deck, which he could barely see in the wind and rain. He tried to shout but found he couldnโt after the intense lung work he had to do to make it far enough out, and he instead panted louder.
For a moment, he thought that maybe this was the last moment he would ever have, surrounded by the violent and bitter mistress that is the sea. He clenched Bill with one arm and tried to use the other to swim closer to the boat, moving away from them and pulling the rope taut around his midsection. This was it.
A tug came from the other end of the rope. Rum, with a rush of strength, was pulling them back up. Julian scrambled to find footing on the side of the ship, and the two men managed to heave the extra weight back on deck, tying Bill off immediately so he wouldnโt be thrown over again. Julian lay beside him and spit out water.
โWell done Rum, well done. Go get someone to help, wouldya?โ he wheezed, before lying his cheek on the damp deck and passing out cold.

XXXXSince Vale hit the deck a few days ago, Eva was not herself. She was worried sick about Vale. Eva couldnโt even keep her optimistic nature up. A nasty thought kept nagging at her; Vale would die and then sheโd be truly alone. The deaths of her sister, niece, and nephew were still fresh. She wasnโt sure if sheโd survived Valeโs death. Evangeline hadnโt visited Vale since Bill carried her down. She wasnโt worried about Vale being alone, she knew Tessa was with her often. She saw the women enter the medical bay multiple times. Eva knew Vale had friends on this crew thatโd visit as well. She feared seeing Vale would cause uncontrollable crying. Evangeline had to keep it together.
Since she didnโt visit Vale, she worked. She often went to Vera or Rosia to see what they needed help with. If they didnโt need help with anything, sheโd found someone else to help. There always seem to be something to do on the ship and that was a comfort to Eva. She worked silently for the last few days. Eva was in an odd mood and wasnโt speaking much to anyone on the ship. She focused on whatever task she was doing and on keeping her mind blank. The only creature she spoke to was Mango. She spoke to him when she couldnโt eat or sleep. Her appetite had left since Vale got ill. She didnโt have any urge to eat and sleeping had been an issue since she gotten on the ship.
She was grateful for her loss of appetite for the past few days because a storm had started. It was a force to be reckoned with. Evangeline was trying to stay on her feet, but it was hard. Her hands were occupied as they held Mango. Eva had seen the storm coming and knew she couldnโt allow him to be sitting on her shoulder when it hit them. She knew she needed a lifeline as well, but she needed to put Mango in a safe place first. She worried for James as well, which was why some rope hung off her right arm. It seemed as if she didnโt have the sea legs to brace a storm. Her sea legs were fine until this storm. It took her some time before she reached the stairs that led to the brig.
Evangeline scooted down the stairs as walking down was not an option. When she reached the bottom, she stood as carefully as she could. Although, a wave hit the ship and she flew into a wall. She braced herself against it as she gasped for air. Her eyes went to Mango and was glad he seemed unharmed. She hoped her grip hadnโt tightened too much when she hit. Once she had her breath back, she walked over to the barrel she had stowed away in. Eva opened it and placed Mango inside. It was the best she could do for him. The barrel only had her things inside. She closed it and was glad to have her hands free now. She could steady herself a bit more easily now. Her eyes wandered over to the cell to find James.
โHello James, how is this storm treating you?โ she asked, her voice breathy. She walked over to the cell and gripped onto the bars. She glanced at the rope hanging on her arm, but decided sheโd have a conversation first, or try to. She brought the rope down to see if heโd want to be secured to the cellโs bars. She wanted a conversation first as guilt ate at her. She hadnโt been down to visit him the last few days. Eva had been too lost in her storm of emotions to think of anyone else. It was not like her at all.
James scratched at his chin, the beginning stubble of a beard growing in, as he hummed sea shanty after sea shanty. It had been a while since heโd seen a friendly face. Not any longer than a day, but with the storm, he hadnโt exactly been a priority. The only updates he had on his ship came from his former crew. Former because he was no longer captain. He was a prisoner. Heโd heard that Vale dropped from an unknown poison. He knew Tessa had been strung from the yardarm only to be cut down by their cook minutes after Hellfire left the ship. He also knew that Eva had been allowed to stay. It wasnโt as if heโd had any doubt Meg would allow the girl to join them. He just knew she wouldnโt be all too happy to have something like that done behind her back. She liked to be in the know. Which is also why he was surprised Vera wasnโt in the cells with him.
A loud thumping came down the stairs just as a--presumably--large wave rocked the ship, sending Jamesโs stomach into his throat. Hence the humming. While James was a well traveled seaman, storms werenโt as common. If he had been on deck or in his quarters, he wouldโve been fine. Maybe a tad disoriented, but fine. Down here? Forget it. The ships usual gently rocking was replace with violent tilts that messed with his head. And, in turn, his stomach.
With the wave came a toppling Eva. She had the small bird--Mango he believed-- and a line of rope. She made her way, unsteadily, to the barrel from which she had emerged long ago and placed the bird inside. Content with the securing of the pet, she turned to James and made her way over, a little more sure footed, and greeted him.
โAhoy, Eva.โ He said, stiffly. โNot well Iโm afraid.โ Another waved struck the side of the ship and he cursed inwardly, resuming his humming. He had been told an old-wives tale about how humming kept you from revising a meal. So far, it held true. โIโm surprised to see you in such a fine state. You barely have sea legs, how is it youโre unaffected in other ways?โ He said, purposely being vague. Eva smiled despite his answer and ran a ran through her dam hair. She took a deep breath to inhale the salty air. The smell of the ocean eased her stomach a bit.
โWell, my body may have more important things to worry about. I havenโt really had an appetite since Vale took ill. Also, I likely do not have the energy to be affected by other matters.I have trouble sleeping if...โ she stopped to not reveal an odd dislike of hers. Her eyes glanced at the rope and then at James. It was time to change the subject. โWould you like to be secured to the bars of the cell? I wouldnโt want you to get too hurt during the storm.โ
James raised an eyebrow and shook his head. โI donโt think itโll make much of a difference down here.โ Her words caught his attention and his sympathies. Since the ship had been taken, he hadnโt slept much either. โIโm sorry about Vale. Has Sunni had any luck at all?โ He asked. He much liked the navigator. She was someone who looked like they could kill you, but was really a sweet roll. Or whatever the land-kids said these days. โIf it helps to ease any of your concerns, Sunni is the finest medic Iโve ever encountered. Weโre greatly blessed by the sea to have her as a part of the crew.โ He grunted as the ship rocked backwards. โIf it helps, I donโt get much sleep either.โ
โI am glad Sunni is a good medic, but I donโt know if she has had any luck. I havenโt been able to bring myself to go see Vale or to ask anyone about her health,โ she paused to take a shaky breath. If Vale died, it would become known. She glanced at the barrel Mango was in and watched it begin to tilt. It didnโt fall fully because another barrel was in the way. Eva walked over to the barrel and moved it in front of the cell. She took the rope, knelt on her knees, and began to tie the barrel to the bars. She wished the wicked storm would lighten as she did all of this.
โI am sorry you canโt sleep. It is likely hard to sleep in the cell. I really have no solid reason. Though, if we canโt find sleep, I imagine it will find and take us. It has happened to me before,โ she said. Once she was sure the barrel was secured to the cell and checked on Mango, she sat on the barrel. Her hands return to gripping the bars of the cell. Eva smiled at James as she was unsure of what to say now. She had things she did want to ask. Evangeline was intrigued by James and wanted to know more about him. Slowly her eyes went to meet his eyes.
โDid Megan give you the choices of being locked away or leaving the ship?โ she asked. She remembered how Megan had given them to her. Eva had decided to stay. Though, she thought of how they were heading to death daily. It was hard not to think of it when her friend was ill.
James watched Eva all the while humming under his breath. He was listening, but humming helped things. When she was situated in front of him once more, she met his eyes. He looked down and away from her when he answered. โNo. She didnโt. Thatโs not really how a mutiny works.โ When your crew and ship change hands, the one in charge called the shots. There were no choices. Though, if heโd had one, he definitely wouldโve chosen to stay. โNot that it matters much anyway. Iโd die before I left my ship.โ And if the storm grew worse, heโd probably die with his ship. Like a captain should.
He licked his lips, attempting to change the course of his thoughts. โI can tell you have more questions. Ask away. Iโm an open book.โ
โH-how about you tell me about yourself?โ she asked as she glanced down. She was embarrassed he knew that she wanted to ask more questions. Evangeline was glad for the permission, but she felt shy now. She feared sheโd asked something that would be considered impolite. The last thing Eva wanted to do was to offend James. She looked at him a second later to give him a smile. She knew some could find her first question hard to answer. It was hard to tell someone about yourself at times. She decided to give him a lifeline just in case he needed it. โHow about you tell me the story of how you became a pirate?โ
At her question, James laughed. โI suppose a land maiden such as yourself would want to know such a story.โ He said with a grin. It was definitely one to distract. โIโve practically always been a pirate,โ he began with a shrug of his shoulders. โI was picked up[color=#B00000][b] when I was thirteen doing the work that Rudy now does for us.โ He ran a hand through his hair. โThe sea has been my first love ever since.โ Another wave rocked the ship and he winced. โAlthough it seems weโre having a bit of an argument at the moment.โ
โWell, I suggest you start whispering sweet nothings to your first love and beg for forgiveness,โ she said jokingly. She tensed as the ship was bombarded by more waves. Eva closed her eyes and had to focus on her breathing for a few minutes. She hoped the storm would end soon. Evangeline kept her eyes closed as she freed a hand to start taking her boots off. Surprisingly, she was starting to feel warm. Seasickness seemed to be getting to her and it was unfriendly. She opened her eyes again to throw her boots into a corner behind her.
โI hope we visit land after this storm. I will need to get new clothing in case we run into another storm. I may need to switch my weapons of choice as well,โ she said. She slid the same hand into the pockets of her dress.The pockets were actually slits. She took each axe out carefully from their holding places. She got down from the barrel only for a second to place them near the boots. When Evangeline got back onto the barrel, she leaned her forehead against the cool bars. She closed her eyes again as her fingers wrapped around the bars. Eva thought of some conversations she overheard on the ship.
โJamesโฆwhy didnโt you want to go hunt this treasure your crew seems so determined to find?โ
James watched Eva, concern filling his eyes. She was looking a tad green. He reached through the bars when she came close again and rubbed a comforting hand in circles on her back. He did so slowly, and hesitantly at first to see if she would mind. When she asked her question though, his eyes turned hard. โBecause itโs dangerous. My crew is my family. You donโt wish harm to come to your family.โ He sighed, laying his own forehead against the bars. โI mean. Being a pirate is dangerous enough, but a cut and a bullet wound can be mended. Curses and major injury on far-off shores? With no hope of any greater aid? Starvation and thirst?โ He shook his head. โI donโt want those things for my family. Just like you wouldnโt wish it on Vale.โ He looked up at her, his brown eyes soft. โI wouldnโt wish it for you.โ
Eva eyes opened for a second to confirm it was James rubbing her back. The touch was comforting. She hadnโt had any affection, platonic or not since she stepped onto the ship. She missed the hugs and cheek kisses she got when at the brothel. She pushed the thought of the brothel away quickly as the thought of her sister wasnโt far behind. Eva opened her eyes to look at him when he sighed. It was a surprise to her when she blushed at his last sentence. She took a deep breath, but this time to cool the sudden heat in her cheeks. โI...I wouldnโt wish it for you either James,โ she said softly, shyly. She slowly slid a hand through the bars to cup his cheek, if heโd allow it. She met his eyes.
โAlthough, if my family were going to go on a dangerous journey, despite my protest, Iโd rather be at their side to help. I wouldnโt want to be trapped in a cell with no way to help them when danger came. Your whole crew did decide to go on this journey, they werenโt forced. If you were free, I imagine you would be a great help during this storm...โ she sighed as she went to moved her hand away from his cheek. She closed her eyes again. Her heart ached before she even spoke. โI stayed with my...sister, until the end...even though I knew she wasnโt safe at her current job. I couldnโt force her to go elsewhere with me and be unhappy. I decided to stay with her to keep her safe...as safe as I could.โ
James smiled softly at Eva. "Sometimes that's all you can do." He looked out the porthole. "Go down with the ship."

Rosia stumbled for a second before catching her footing as another wave crashed against the ship. โMighty great storm we havinโ โere.โ Rosia said outloud. She quickly saw a rope go over her and tighten around her waist, turning around and see it was Tessa making sure she would stay with the ship. โAye yes. Thanks you Riggnot.โ Rosia paused for a second and looked around. โI gonna head up the mast to get an eye on this here storm and make sure the riggings hold.โ She shot a smile and rushed to the mast. Not many people would be excited for a storm, nor would many pirates willing climb a mast the height of the Stardustโs in the middle of a high sea storm, then again, not many people or pirates were like Rosia.
Climbing the mast wasnโt as easy as it usually was for Rosia, but she was still able to up to the lower sail without losing her grip too much. As she pulled herself up to stand gripping onto the mast, she looked down she could hear Bill giving commands to the gun crew to secure cannons and themselves. Rosia was quickly distracted when she heard a snap and saw one of the rope rigs on the fore sail broke loose, opening a portion of the sail. โFuck these wet ropes and their wet mothers.โ Rosia mumbled to herself as she quickly danced across sail to get to the loose rigging. Though he knots werenโt as good as Tessaโs Rosia knew hers would be able to hold unto this storm was done.
As Rosia fixed the sail after a couple close calls, and another mighty strong wave hitting the ship Rosia was quickly distracted with hearing Mead yell something and seeing Julian run and jump off the ship. It didnโt take long for Rosia to figure out what had just happened, someone went overboard. โAye! Someone help Dragon and Rum!โ Rosia shouted as untangled herself and worked herself back to the center of the mast to climb down. When someone goes overboard, it doesnโt take long for the situation to unfold, but during a storm the situation can quickly go form bad, to worse, to over, and not in a good way. Rosia hoped by the time she got down from the mast Julian would be back on the ship and all would be fine.
When Rosia finally reached the deck, she had to untangle her rope first before she could head over to make sure all was good. Thankfully Rum had some help and was able to pull Julian and the person who had gone overboard back up, seeing it was Pyrite. โYou two crazy bastards goinโ for a swim in this storm? Couple of ye get them below deck and figure out where Nameless went. I gotta take over the wheel a hopefully get us out of here soon.โ Rosia barked out as she rushed to the helm to try to get control over the ship. Next to Phillip, she was the next best helmsman on the ship in her opinion.
