| Name |
Starlight’s real name is unknown.
Everyone just calls her Starlight.

| Age |
21

| Gender |
Female

| Sexuality |
Pansexual

| Race |
Starlight is a Light Neko, otherwise known as The Nekos of the Day.

| Affiliation |
Captain Rubber’s First Mate: the only person she will ever take orders from.

| Faceclaim |
Tsubasa Hanekawa

| Appearance |
Starlight is the definition of eye-catching.
Her hair is pure white and very long, reaching just below her waist. She generally wears it down, but might put it up in a braid occasionally. Her eyes are the color of pure gold, and her pupils slit and expand to match the amount of light she is in. She’s about 6’1’’ and weighs in around 140 pounds. She has beautiful, feminine curves to go along with her lean, powerful muscles. Her skin is of a pale complexion.

Resting on the top of her head, along with her regular human ears, are a pair of snow white ears with pink insides. Growing from her tailbone is a long white tail that reaches just above her head. She has retractable claws on both her fingers and toes. She has fangs that grow and shrink at her will.

Like many other Light Nekos, Starlight has a Neko form. She takes the appearance of a large, snow white tiger, being about 6’5’’ at the shoulder and more than 15 feet long from head tail. When in this form, her eyes turn blood red and her pupils slit, no matter the amount of light.

| Personality |
Starlight is one mysterious creature. Her origins are unknown by everybody, except for maybe some cryptic hints she’s uttered when in a drunken stupor.
Similar to that of her Captain, Starlight can easily be described as a cruel and cold person. She’s practically heartless; showing no mercy for the people who have fallen victim to her quick claws and short temper. She’s distant and prefers her own company over everybody else’s.

She has a sort of sadistic playfulness to her. She likes to tease her prey, play with it before finally ending its life. She can be overly cocky and robust when facing an opponent, which can get her into trouble sometimes. She is known to easily seduce men with her dashing looks.

Starlight has sharp claws, but her tongue is sharper. She’s quick witted, clever, strategic, and amazingly intelligent; not to mention she can easily talk someone’s ear off. Getting in an argument with her is not a very smart idea for more than one reason. She’s got an extremely short temper and can easily fly into a blind rage, destroying everything that crosses her path. When in a rage state, she practically goes feral and may even shift into her Neko form.

Many people have different sides to them, but it seems as if Starlight only has one. No one has ever found the “heart of gold” that almost everyone has buried deep within their souls. Starlight is not kind, she is not generous, and she is not friendly. She was born a monster and raised to be a killer, and it appears that nobody can change that.

| Weapons |
Starlight carries many, many weapons with her, including:
Throwing Knives
A Balisong Knife
A Dagger
A Rapier
A Bow and Some Arrows
and Shurikens

Not to mention, Starlight herself is a weapon. Her claws and fangs are razor sharp and capable of tearing through flesh and slicing armor. Her jaw is strong enough to bite through bone and metal. She is inhumanly flexible and strong, not to mention her senses are heightened. She can describe in detail her surroundings even if her eyes are covered.

| Equipment |
Starlight always seems to carry too little. She only appears to have the clothes on her back and a certain black cape that she never seems to take off. It reaches just above the floor and has a hood for her to hide her ears in. To most people, they see the cape and think nothing of it; perhaps maybe a bad fashion choice. But this cape is much more than just a piece of black cloth.

Starlight’s cape is known as The Thief's Cape. It is a cape that can magically store a numerous amount of items, and only the owner of the cape can access the hidden items that lie within the cape. Starlight herself has no idea just how much can be stored in the cape. If someone who doesn’t own the cape tries to access the secrets of the cape, they would just be grabbing at dark, empty fabric.

Within the cape, Starlight carries her weapons and the essentials; some food, clothing, a map, a small telescope, and just the right amount of money.

Also, Starlight always wears a necklace with a star pendant. If you dare try to take it off or touch it, she will kill you. No hesitation. What. So. Ever.

| Abilities |
~Feline Attributes~
Being part cat has its perks. All of Starlight’s senses have been heightened sharply, and she can see in the dark. She’s extremely flexible and utterly strong for her age and body shape. Her tail makes her more balanced. Her claws and fangs are built in weapons.

However, her attributes also provide her with weaknesses. Loud sounds and smells can weaken and distract her. Both her tail and ears are very sensitive. If her tail is broken, dislocated, or restrained, it can throw her off balance completely.

~Photokinesis~
Photokinesis is the ability to manipulate light.
All Light Nekos are born with some form of Photokinesis. Some are simply born with much better capabilities and some are born with worse. Even at her young age, Starlight showed great potential to become a master over the element of light. However, she chose to take the path of an assassin opposed to that of a mage. She does sometimes practice by herself, and even then her power is tremendous. She can create small balls of light in her palm, however it is much easier to manipulate existing light.

She can channel light into powerful beams and blasts that can blind people, burn their skin, or knock them off balance. She has been practicing making tangible items out of light. She has been able to create small knives and daggers, but anything larger practically makes her pass out from exhaustion. She’s capable of “bounding people in light”. The light surrounds them and takes on the effect of rope, binding their limbs together and rendering them helpless.

| Bio |
Starlight’s true origins are unknown to everyone except herself.

Like many other mystical creatures, she was born into “servanthood”, otherwise known as slavery in disguise. She was taken from her parents as a baby and given to another family, only for that family to be abusive and treat her like dirt. Everytime she spoke out, she was beaten and starved.
She spent the first nine years of her life in a living hell. But one fateful day, all of that changed. She was rescued by a vigilante. He took her back to his home where he lived alone. The man, who never revealed his face or identity, told her to call him “Master”. It was very clear that this man was different from others. He promised her safety, security, and training. He told her that she would start anew, with a new name and a new identity. So she chose her new name and told the man that she wanted to be like him; a dark hero, a knight in black armor, a cerberus for people to both fear and respect.

So Master taught her. His name was not representing his power over her, his name was representing his knowledge and mastery over all that he does. So he did his best to pass his knowledge onto this little girl who wanted nothing more than to be somebody. He taught her how to fight weaponless or with weapons, close combat or ranged.

Starlight, with her new name and newfound abilities, started taking up jobs. Jobs as a bodyguard, an assassin, a thief, anything that would make her money and help build up her name. At around 18, the royalty caught wind of this “White Shadow” streaking through the towns and cities surrounding the castle. People were sent after her. Of course, she avoided them and fought them off, but eventually she was overwhelmed and captured. She was restrained and put on public display, to wallow in her own shame before she would have been executed.

People laughed, pointed, spat at her, cursed her kind, and much worse. The guards who stood by her didn’t take notice. Master caught wind of Starlight impending demise. He went to free her, but there were many more guards than her had planned to be there. He managed to free her, but was mortally wounded in the process. They escaped, Starlight practically carrying him. They made it back to his home, where he bled out in her arms.

Since that day, Starlight promised to never bow down to any king or queen. She now knew that there is corruption in everything. She gathered her things and spent most of her money paying for Master’s burial. After he was traditionally buried, Starlight took all she could, and burned down his house.

Starlight needed to start anew once more. She noticed a ship docked and decided to stowaway. It was not long before she was discovered. She begged them to let her stay and become part of their crew. They most likely would have thrown her into the middle of the ocean if not for Captain Rubber. He allowed her to stay long enough that she could prove herself as a good addition to his crew. She managed to defeat his best fighter in mere moments. However, when he asked her to fight him, she refused, saying that he was her captain, and that she was not worthy to fight him.

He let her stay, and it was not long before she began rising in the ranks to become Captain Rubber’s First Mate. He is the only person she will ever be loyal to, and the only person who she will ever take orders from. She trusts him with her life, which is something very rare for her.


So begins...

One month later


Exactly a month into the Black Tides voyage and with hardly a sign of civilisation, the ship was currently holding position in the middle of the open ocean, with no land in sight, with no sign of the captain for a few days either which would be the main explanation why the ship had set anchor when they had no idea which way they should continue to navigate. This stop was 5 days ago now, and the crew have generally been lounging around, drinking, singing, dancing, gambling and fighting.

However all of that pretty much ended almost literally overnight on the third day, when the clouds completely broke and the ship came under the punishing rays of the sun, reflecting off of the water to make it doubly potent, had ground the entire proceedings to a complete halt. The absurd heat had forced the pirates to put off all singing, dancing and fighting- after all they found it hard enough just to sit out on deck for more than a few hours, the frayed tempers and not to mention the constant smell wafting from the sweat dripped crew was more than enough to put them off from even gambling in their spare time. So it was that they were left to sit around, trying to get somewhere cooler on the ship- a number had decided that the rigging was a good place, whilst some had insisted on hiding away on the poop deck, some did try to hide in the food stores but were thrown out when a number were found sleeping next to the rum.

Even the legendary motivational skills of Samuel was not enough to make the crew even get up in the evenings for a jig, let alone working the ship into a reasonable condition. Unsurprisingly however the sight of the latest addition to the crew did more than enough to perk up even the most heatstruck crewman. At first they were distrustful of a woman being not only on board ship, but even being allowed to crew the ship, the whole thing would cause no end of bad luck in their eyes, as time went on these eyes began to notice the assets of Starlight- both of them in fact, in fact they had begun to notice them a lot more when they realised the only clothing she ever wore were the exact some ones, and clothing tended to get body fitting after a while in the heat.

Eventually even this daily 'perking up' was not enough- especially when nobody on the crew seemed able to get Star out of her clothes either- and the captains absence was continuously more and more annoying, with many a grumble and groaning both above and bellow deck, even when the moaning pirate was sober. The whole matter was compounded by the fact that nobody could work up the courage to actually enter his private quarters and see where they should be going, nor could they go to Samuel, who would simply order them back to work. What the crew needed to get back on track was someone brave enough to risk the captain but not high enough in rank to be unapproachable.

Life on the ocean couldn’t be too bad, right? Star and Master had gone on some voyages overseas and she knew she knew she didn’t get seasick, so that wasn’t a problem. And the fresh, salty air was fantastic, even after the third week of Star becoming part of the crew.

Obviously, being the only female in an entirely male crew wasn’t going to be glamorous, but Star wasn’t the most picky character either. As long as she had a place to sleep and food on her plate, she was generally happy. Generally. But when the Captain had ordered them to drop the anchor in the middle of nowhere, Star was a bit sceptical. As the days crawled on and the heat began, Star grew more and more annoyed. The crew was rather antsy as well, with most of her crewmates attempting to bribe her to do a number of... things. Star sure as hell wasn’t a prude, but the last thing she wanted was to be in bed with one of these sweaty men who hadn’t seen action in multiple weeks.

With her feline ears, Star was able to pick up on all of the gossip around the ship. A couple of crew members talked about how they wanted to speak to the captain, who hadn’t shown his face in a few days. But, of course, they were all too scared to face the captain, who apparently hated being interrupted when he was locked in his quarters.

Star didn’t care. As soon as the sixth day started and the intense heat continued, she knew she had to figure out what was going on. She glanced at the solid oak door that marked the entrance to the captain’s quarters. Clenching her jaw slightly, she began to make her way towards that oak door, her footsteps heavy with exhaustion and anger. She heard murmurs erupt behind her, but that wouldn’t stop her. Samuel even attempted to order her to stop, but she didn’t care. She had to know what was happening.

Gritting her teeth, she gripped the burning hot, golden door knob. After taking a deep breath, she turned it and pushed the heavy door open. She saw the esteemed Captain Rubber, sitting behind his desk, simply fiddling with a map. Letting out a quiet growl, she shut the door behind her and took a few steps forward. “Ahh, Captain Rubber, how nice it is to see you, considering you’ve been cooped up in here for almost a week.” Her tone was dripping with sarcasm and grew progressively more angry as she continued to speak.“If you don’t mind me asking, what the fuck are we doing, sitting around in the middle of the ocean?! Its quite literally hot as hell out there!” She had abandoned her cape in her quarters since it was just too hot, so her pale white tail was free to lash about behind her. It also happened to expose more of her luscious body, but that’s not important.

It was clear how angry she was. Star wanted answers, and she wasn’t going to calm down until she got them.

The particular captain in question was indeed sat in his quarters- which worked as his joint office and bed chambers, though they were separated by a wall and a door, pouring over a map that was rolled out across the oaken table, a pair of iron dividers in his hand spun across the paper in irregular loops as he tried to plot a course across the dangerous waters.

The poor man had long since run out of wine next to him and had failed to remember on a number of occasions to go out and get some more from the ships stores, 'Ah well' he thought to himself 'Its only been a short while, I can do without a drink for a little bit.' His thoughtful navigation was shortly ruined by the sound of angry stomping coming up to the door to his quarters- strange how even when angry someone can still sound feminine, even on a pirate ship. He gave it a few moments after the door had been opened and the one female member of his crew so rudely pushed her way into his chambers.

“Ahh, Captain Rubber, how nice it is to see you, considering you’ve been cooped up in here for almost a week.” With a drawn out sigh the captain laid down the finely wrought navigational devices and leaned back in his chair. "Always a pleasure to see you too my little stowaway. It be very nice of you to notice my absence." Actually he was just as surprised as anyone that he had been in here for so long, perhaps getting a clock fitted would actually be a good idea. “If you don’t mind me asking, what the fuck are we doing, sitting around in the middle of the ocean?! Its quite literally hot as hell out there!”

With a disappointed grunt the captain raised his eyes ever so slowly from the map to look at the Neko crew-woman- at chest height, not at all with a look of lust in his eyes like the rest of the lecherous members of his crew, but rather with the body language and look of someone who does believe that there is anything better to be looking at above the chest- not to mention his neck was aching just to raise it even to this height and he could barely move it any further- "You know I be very glad that ye took it upon yourself to point out tha' we still be in the same spot that I told us to stay in a week ago, its not as if I actually intended us to be somewhere I can navigate from so we can get to our next location is it?" He said matching sarcasm for sarcasm "I say its a good thing I haven't captained this ship and crew for years else we would have drowned long ago." His eyes now at last flicked up to the Nekos, with the full force of a lions glare. "And as far as heat is concerned, I had entirely failed to notice until your half naked form had decided to barge into my room, I have to say its one of the more forward attempts I've had so far, yet still interesting." It could not be doubted that he had failed to notice the heat, considering that he still wore his tri-corner hat with the extravagant peacock feather sticking out of it, as well as the long red and purple coat that covered his muscular form, yet now that someone had decided to point such a thing out he was beginning to wish he could shrug his way out of it.

"You know I be very glad that ye took it upon yourself to point out tha' we still be in the same spot that I told us to stay in a week ago, its not as if I actually intended us to be somewhere I can navigate from so we can get to our next location is it? I say its a good thing I haven't captained this ship and crew for years else we would have drowned long ago." Rubber’s sarcasm was as powerful as Star’s. She could tell he was use to handling bullshit. One must be, considering his current job. Regardless, that wasn’t really much of the answer Star was looking for. With a ‘hmph’, she crossed her arms over her prominent chest. "And as far as heat is concerned, I had entirely failed to notice until your half naked form had decided to barge into my room, I have to say its one of the more forward attempts I've had so far, yet still interesting."

Starlight’s ears flattened to the top of her head. “Hey! I-I wasn’t
 I wasn’t attempting to do anything besides figure out why we’ve been in the middle of no where for almost a week!” Her lips were curled up in an aggravated hiss, her sharp fangs bared for a few moments before she bothered to stop growling at her new captain.

The neko turned on her heel and paced back and forth a couple of times before coming to a stop in front of the captain’s desk once more. “Well
 Regardless, we can’t stay here for much longer. We’re sweating half to death out there, which explains just why I’ve shed my shirt. Perhaps I could be of assistance to you? Where are we headed? You obviously know more about navigating than I do
 but if you need anything I could get it for you, perhaps?” She asked, tilting her head to the side.

Seeing that he could cause such displeasure and anger at the same time caused a sense of pride in the depths of the pirate captains heart- he was proud of his skills, no matter how small. It was all he could do to not laugh at the clear discomfort that he had managed to put the Neko in.

His eyes continued to bore into her skull as she paced back and forth across his floor, the number of times people had done that he was almost surprised it hadn't fallen through already. “Well
 Regardless, we can’t stay here for much longer. We’re sweating half to death out there, which explains just why I’ve shed my shirt. Perhaps I could be of assistance to you? Where are we headed? You obviously know more about navigating than I do
 but if you need anything I could get it for you, perhaps?” Some how the girl had managed to go from angry to flustered to practical in a matter of moments, highly admirable aboard a ship where the social dynamics can be completely chaotic depending on the time of day.

"You know sweating half to death isn't sweating completely to death, they can manage well enough out there." despite saying this he did take the time to push his way out of his greatcoat and roll up the sleeves of his silken undershirt. "Regardless though, you'll be utterly delighted to hear that we will be setting sail tonight- once the heat has cooled a little." He waved her over to the map and pointed to a empty part of the ocean. "This here is where we be" if the crew were expecting to reach land any time soon they would have been horribly disappointed as the map was blank for miles around- in fact the nearest landmass was back the way they came. Rubber then ran a finger over the paper to a rough drawing of what looked like teeth a distance away. "This here be where we be goin'. Its called the Krakens Maw, it be a massive reef- huge spikes of rock sticking above the waves. Legends say that an ancient Kraken was frozen to stone there to stop its rampagin' across the seas. Tha' didn't bloody work, the currants there can cut down a journey massively, or crash a ship across the Maw, meanin' the entire reef is just sitting pretty waiting for someone to come along and pillage the countless treasures just sitting there with nobody to guard them." He then lent back in his chair and looked back up at the Neko. "Now as for what you can do, you're certainly doin' a damn good job as a moral booster." He chuckled to himself. "No doubt the other members of the crew have been trying to get you to bed them? If its really as hot as you say it be out there, then their brains may be addled enough for them to try to be more forward if you catch my drift. So if you want to risk that you can go back out there, or you can hunker down in here until we are to set sail- Nobody is going to disturb me, at least they have a shred of decency in them" He raised an eyebrow in way of gesturing at the Neko.

"You know sweating half to death isn't sweating completely to death, they can manage well enough out there."

Starlight could only huff as she recrossed her arms. “That may be true, but that’s half way closer to death than I want to be.”

"Regardless though, you'll be utterly delighted to hear that we will be setting sail tonight- once the heat has cooled a little."

“Thanks goodness.” She let out a sigh of relief and jogged over to the Captain once he waved her over. She leaned over the desk, resting her elbows on the solid oak. Her tail stood up high and swayed in the air rhythmically as her interest grew. She’d always been amazed by the work of navigators. The way they used the stars and the sun to figure out their location left her awed.

"This here is where we be." She nodded with understanding and followed Rubber’s finger as he moved it across the map. "This here be where we be goin'. Its called the Krakens Maw, it be a massive reef- huge spikes of rock sticking above the waves. Legends say that an ancient Kraken was frozen to stone there to stop its rampagin' across the seas. Tha' didn't bloody work, the currants there can cut down a journey massively, or crash a ship across the Maw, meanin' the entire reef is just sitting pretty waiting for someone to come along and pillage the countless treasures just sitting there with nobody to guard them."

Her eyes sparkled with interest. Treasures? What kinds of treasures? “Wow
 Amazing.” She flashed a toothy, playful grin as the tip of her tail flicked apprehensively.

"Now as for what you can do, you're certainly doin' a damn good job as a moral booster." He chuckled to himself. "No doubt the other members of the crew have been trying to get you to bed them? If its really as hot as you say it be out there, then their brains may be addled enough for them to try to be more forward if you catch my drift. So if you want to risk that you can go back out there, or you can hunker down in here until we are to set sail- Nobody is going to disturb me, at least they have a shred of decency in them."

Star let out an aggravated huff as she stood up straight. “Your men are about as subtle as a stampede of bull elephants. They’ve tried bribing me with money, food, clothes, er
 services. I’m no prostitute. It takes a little more than that to get me under you. I have to like you at least.” She grumbled softly, her ears twitching. “I’ve already finished my duties for the day
 I suppose I could stay in here. Last thing I need is for that oaf Erik to catch me by surprise again. In regards to being decent, as you can tell by my outfit, I’m not exactly the most decent lass.” She smirked, her golden irises glimmering with mischief.

Starlight hummed as she hopped over to a loveseat type couch sitting against the wall. She dove onto the couch and curled up, nuzzling against a pillow. “I hope you don’t mind if I get comfy.” She then proceeded to kick her trousers off before finding a comfortable position. She purred softly, a small smile on her face. “So Captain, we sail to the Maw and then what? Where is the treasure located?” She asked, glancing at him curiously.

"Your men are about as subtle as a stampede of bull elephants. They’ve tried bribing me with money, food, clothes, er
 services. I’m no prostitute. It takes a little more than that to get me under you. I have to like you at least.” Well she was spot on the money where the crew was concerned- no doubt they had already taken bets on who would be the first to bed the poor girl, what could be expected though considering it was the only sign of a woman they could find unless they managed to catch a cabin boy shaving. "Standards, those be good when ye can have the pick of the bunch around here, but standards don't help much if a whole bunch decide to think through their cocks for a day or two, that's why its safer in here for ya."

He removed his tri-corner hat with a flourish of his hand and laid it down next to his map before looking back up at the Neko. "In regards to being decent, as you can tell by my outfit, I’m not exactly the most decent lass. He chuckled at that remark and replied slyly himself. "Perhaps not, but you're the most decent lass on this here ship that's for bloody sure"

His eyes tracked her as she made her way over to the loveseat- if she knew what had happened there in the past she probably wouldn't be so eager to take her trousers off, actually scratch that its most people tended to take off their trousers anyway. Rubber pushed his chair back and rocked on the back legs, his eyes casually scanning over the Nekos body with only a hint of interest. “So Captain, we sail to the Maw and then what? Where is the treasure located?” He chuckled with a grin at the inquisitiveness of the feline female. "Ye be catchin' on quick there lass. Ya see, for decades now treasure and merchant ships have tried to use the Maw to shorten their journeys, when that there plan failed they got dashed against the rocks and their ships half sunk- the gold they carried trapped in the battered hulls. Very few are mad or brave enough to try to salvage the ships, so almost every ship in that mile wide field of death be full o' gold an' riches. The treasure dear lass, is in every single ship we can reach before the tide comes in and the currant gets deadly. And tha's not even the beginning of what I've got planned." He tapped the side of his nose to indicate he wasn't giving any details of that away yet.

The treasure dear lass, is in every single ship we can reach before the tide comes in and the currant gets deadly. And tha's not even the beginning of what I've got planned.”

Starlight couldn’t help but pout ever so slightly. “Aww
 Why can’t you tell me th-” She paused mid sentence, her furry white ears perking atop her head. She sat up and scowled as she turned her head to look at the door. “Well, it appears are if this conversation is no longer private
” She grumbled under her breath. Her powerful ears were able to detect a few eavesdroppers sitting outside the captain’s door with their ears pressed against the solid wood. She stood up and walked over to the Captain’s desk and leaned over it once more to mutter something in the man’s ear. “I know how to get rid of them and put their bettings to a screeching halt.”

With that, Star’s mischievous grin returned. She turned so her back was to the captain, her bum was against the desk and she was facing the door. “Ooh my, Captain
 Your hands are soo firm
” She made sure to project her voice so the men sneaking outside the door would be able to hear. She knew they could considering she herself heard an audible gasp. “Mmm
 Th-that feels so good
 Don’t stop
” She made sure she sounded as breathless as possible. She then began to shift her weight against the table, bumping her hip against it, causing it to shift along the ground periodically. Star also made sure to throw in the occasional moan and groan.

Star almost laughed as she heard grumbles of disappointment once the men walked away from the door, defeated. However, once she was sure they were out of earshot, she let out a couple giggles. She turned so she was facing the Captain once more. “D’you think that convinced ‘em?” She chuckled, her tail swaying with excitement.

To say that it was uncommon for a person to be able to eavesdroppers through a wooden door would be a fair enough statement, it would be even more uncommon for them to possess a devious mind- luckily Rubbers quarters seemed to contain just the right amount of uncommon. It was with a little bit of surprise when the young Neko came over to him and whispered in his ear, usually it was him having to do the whispering.

That is not to say he was entirely against the whole situation, rather the opposite in fact once he realised her plan, after all who can argue when a mostly undressed woman decided to plonk her backside down on your desk with the soul aim to tease the members of the crew in the best way possible. Whilst she gave her rather impressive act, a little too impressively accurate actually, Rubber kept a hand up to his face, stroking his chin as a way of keeping his own laughter in. Eventually he too heard the last of the downhearted pirates shuffle off- no doubt to drown their sorrows in the ships stores, if they can make it past Samuel.

"D’you think that convinced ‘em?” That was pretty much all it took to finally release the laughter that had been building up. Almost instantly Rubber creased up as his deep booming cannon of a laugh rocked his body, even going so far as to knock him off balance and push him backwards- where he stopped dead in the air, his head about an inch from the wooden floor below him.

"Ah dear lass." He managed between gulps of air. "I dare say tha' was the best damn fun I have had in a long long while. You sure do know how to entertain a man." He raised a hand from where it rested on the deck and waved it at her "Hell even if they had decided to barge in they would have gotten.... Well exactly the right idea."

"Ah dear lass. I dare say tha' was the best damn fun I have had in a long long while. You sure do know how to entertain a man." He raised a hand from where it rested on the deck and waved it at her, "Hell even if they had decided to barge in they would have gotten.... Well exactly the right idea."

Starlight laughed and giggled along with her captain. She wiggled around where she stood, looking more like an excited puppy than a cat. Still chuckling, she shifted Rubber’s desk back to where it was before she had moved it. “Well, I’m glad that you thought that was entertaining. I try.” Her smile was full of pride. She was glad she could make her captain laugh. So much so that he fell backwards, but he seemed to magically catch himself in the air
 Hmm, Star will have to ask about that later. She still had more questions.

“So
” Star turned on her heel and leapt back onto the couch. She purred and hummed happily as she rolled onto her back, propping her feet up against one of the armrests of the loveseat. “Back down to business. How do you suppose we get into the Maw without having this ship end up wrecked like the others? Also, if most of the ships have sunken, how to we get the treasure? Are some of us going to have to go diving?” She asked curiously before rolling back over onto her stomach. She then squirmed until her chin rested on the armrest her feet were on, so she was looking directly at the captain. “I wouldn’t be against diving. I like water, despite what stereotypes you’ve heard about cats and all that shit, but I dunno how much I’d like to go diving in treacherous waters. I believe the crew would have similar feelings about this.”

After taking a few moments to bask in the afterglow of a good laugh the captain realised he had to get up as well. Rolling over onto his side he swiftly jumped up to his feet, with an audible creaking from his joints and instantly had to sit down on his desk again as the blood rushed to his head and threatened to put himself back down on his arse.

Back down to business. How do you suppose we get into the Maw without having this ship end up wrecked like the others? Also, if most of the ships have sunken, how to we get the treasure? Are some of us going to have to go diving?” The Nekos practicality was nothing short of a refreshing surprise. "Well its not like we haven't had to do salvaging like this before, aye its far too dangerous for a ship the size of the Tide to get through those waters. But I won't be using the Tide, instead I'll be goin' in on one o' the longboats, as well as anyone else who feels up for a little bit of an adventure, to see what we can find. As for diving, well I'll leave that a little bit of a surprise, I'm sure like everythin' else I do, it'll be very impressing."

He moved around the desk until there was nothing but open air separating the two of them and sat back down on the corner. “I wouldn’t be against diving. I like water, despite what stereotypes you’ve heard about cats and all that shit, but I dunno how much I’d like to go diving in treacherous waters. I believe the crew would have similar feelings about this.” He smiled and waved a finger at her. "You know, this is hardly the worst situation I've managed to drag this crew an' ship into." he paused for a minute then lent back so as to also get a chance to stretch his knees out. "Actually on the subject of stereotypes and cats, I've been wondering a little somthin'. If you've got a cats ears and a cats tail, do ye have a cats tongue too? All covered in backwards spikes that feel like sandpaper when they lick you, little blighters."

As for diving, well I'll leave that a little bit of a surprise, I'm sure like everythin' else I do, it'll be very impressing."

Star let out a thoughtful hum as she looked up at the ceiling, thinking to herself. “Well, I’ve always enjoying finding booty, so you can count me in on this adventure, cap’n.” She smiled happily. This was going to be her first adventure officially as a pirate. Even though she wasn’t really looking to be a pirate once Master was killed, she feels as if she’s made a good decision
 Hopefully.

"You know, this is hardly the worst situation I've managed to drag this crew an' ship into."

Starlight huffed before chuckling. “That’s not surprising.”

"Actually on the subject of stereotypes and cats, I've been wondering a little somthin'. If you've got a cats ears and a cats tail, do ye have a cats tongue too? All covered in backwards spikes that feel like sandpaper when they lick you, little blighters."

Star sat up so she was sitting on the couch properly. She crossed her legs as she began to speak. “Actually no. That’s one of the better cat traits I wish I had. That would also answer any of your questions on whether or not I groom myself. But a spiky tongue would make certain things more
 interesting, that’s for sure.” Her tone was laced with playfulness and mischief, and was perhaps the littlest bit challenging. She wanted to see how the Captain would react to her teasing.

“Actually no. That’s one of the better cat traits I wish I had. That would also answer any of your questions on whether or not I groom myself. But a spiky tongue would make certain things more
 interesting, that’s for sure.” The captain gave the Neko a half stern look at her teasing nature- which slowly but surely grew into a grin which took up much of his face, along with a low chuckle to accompany it. "I know just how good a smooth tongue can feel my dear, perhaps your right that something a bit rougher can add a bit of extra... Excitement."

The captain stood and stretched a little and wondered around the room a little bit too to work the blood back into his joints. He cast a forlorn glance at the empty goblet of wine on his desk and then at the door, before looking back at the goblet and finally deciding to forgo going outside to attempt to find more wine. Eventually he settled on the idea of wondering over to the loveseat and drop down next to Star, one part because it was far more comfortable, another because the dividers he had been using had started to leave and imprint where he had been sat on them, but also to see if he could make the Neko uncomfortable by suddenly getting close to her.

Leaning back into the seat, with one arm thrown over the top of it, he pushed his legs out and placed the heel of one boot on the top of toes of the other and gave a sideways grin at Star. "Ye do realise, tha' your little joke earlier is going to make a number of the crew members unhappy, that they thought I was the one ta deflower ye, an' no' them. Don't be surprised if they end up hanging around your bed for details all of a sudden either." He refrained himself from chuckling for one, instead remaining with his eyes locked on the female crewman.

"I know just how good a smooth tongue can feel my dear, perhaps you're right that something a bit rougher can add a bit of extra... Excitement."

“It probably would, Captain
” She hummed, her eyes lingering on the captain as he walked back and forth about the cabin. He seemed to want something, considering how he was constantly glancing at the door, but he shook off and plopped down beside her. Star’s ears flicked as she turned her head so she was looking right at the man. She didn’t make a single move in an attempt to shift away from him.

"Ye do realise, tha' your little joke earlier is going to make a number of the crew members unhappy, that they thought I was the one ta deflower ye, an' no' them. Don't be surprised if they end up hanging around your bed for details all of a sudden either."

“Ahh, who cares. Their reactions are and will be worth it. Though I doubt their advances will stop altogether. I am the only woman for many, many miles. They all want a piece of this pussy.” She grinned widely before laughing again at her own little joke. Puns were her favorite. “Oooh, sorry. I couldn’t help myself.” She hummed joyfully, her tail curled around her legs to rest on her thighs.

The captain settled himself into a more comfortable position in his seat. He was finding the sensation of sensation in his legs returning suddenly to be wholly unpleasant, he would have preferred to have remained utterly stiff and frozen he concluded, at least that way he wouldn't have had to worry about the feeling of pins and needles that was rapidly shooting up his legs with enough force that he had to clench one of the pillows next to him to distract him from the creeping pain.

“Ahh, who cares. Their reactions are and will be worth it. Though I doubt their advances will stop altogether. I am the only woman for many, many miles. They all want a piece of this pussy.” Despite the discomfort that was growing across his body Rubber could not help but burst out laughing himself, his deep laugh contrasting Stars own high laughter.

He sighed after a minute to get his breathing back to normal before grinning at Star. "Lass if ye were any other member of my crew- or ye were wearing more clothes I'd probably slap you across the knee for such a gag. As it is I'm afraid that my touch alone would excite you beyond containment." He chuckled to himself before looking back at the door. "Havin' you aboard will sure make this place far more entertainin', no' just for myself but to see all their reactions to ye." He stifled an irritated sigh at the heat. "Gee ye weren't kiddin' when it came to the blasted heat were ye? I could have done with the view if it mean' I didn' have to suffer too."

Starlight giggled like a little school girl. She swept her legs onto her side of the couch and leaned her head on Rubber’s shoulder. “Perhaps it would
 Why in the world would you be against that?” She hummed.

"Havin' you aboard will sure make this place far more entertainin', no' just for myself but to see all their reactions to ye."

Star beamed widely, flashing her pearly white fangs. “I’m glad you enjoy my presence, Captain.”

"Gee ye weren't kiddin' when it came to the blasted heat were ye? I could have done with the view if it mean' I didn' have to suffer too."

“Why don’t you get comfy too, Captain? You must have been sitting in that chair for quite a long time
 Perhaps you could use a bit of a massage?” She asked, a sly grin on her face. She then nuzzled her head against Rubber’s shoulder, her soft ears making contact with his shirt. She let out a purr from deep in her throat.

To say he enjoyed the physical contact would be a bit of an understatement. Sure he was an infamous dread pirate- but this is where he really got to enjoy himself, plundering ships and plundering women, and yet somehow both held their own hidden treasures. Rubber was strangely drawn in by the white gleam of the Nekos fangs- they were formidable to say the least, and probably not a good idea to be anywhere near if one was to annoy the woman.

“Why don’t you get comfy too, Captain? You must have been sitting in that chair for quite a long time
 Perhaps you could use a bit of a massage?” He gave a cocky half smile as he looked down at the Neko- now nestling up against his shoulder, which tensed involuntarily at the contact, he tilted his head slightly and pulled back in thought. "Ye know, I once knew of an assassin who would kill people with massages, managed to relax the muscles to the poin' where the organs themselves just upped and stopped." He ran his tongue over his teeth as he remembered that particular incident. "How do I know, you won't be jus' as relaxing eh dear lass?"

He gently reached up and placed a hand on the top of her head, just missing her pointed ears, and slowly stroked through a few curls of silver hair, his fingers interweaving with the shining strands as he pulled his hand away. His eyes tracked his hand for a minute before coming back to meet the Nekos own eyes with a devious light in his eyes. "I suppose there ain't much of a better way to find out just how much feline flexibility ye managed to have really. Now tha' is somethin' the crew would jump overboard to see I can tell ye now."

He ran his tongue over his teeth as he remembered that particular incident. "How do I know, you won't be jus' as relaxing eh dear lass?"

Starlight grinned and purred much louder. “Oh trust me, Captain, you’ll be too focused on what’s going on too relax entirely.” She tilted her head up to look at him just as he placed his hand on her head. He ran his fingers through her silky white hair. Star made no moves, allowing him to do as he pleased. Her golden irises gleamed with mischief once their gazes met.

"I suppose there ain't much of a better way to find out just how much feline flexibility ye managed to have really. Now tha' is somethin' the crew would jump overboard to see I can tell ye now."

“Mmm
 I can assure you, I am extremely flexible, Captain.” She purred, her tail tip flicking back and forth with excitement.

“Mmm
 I can assure you, I am extremely flexible, Captain.” He smiled at the thought of all the possible ways he could find out that particular flexibility. His eyes tracked the swaying of the Neko girls tail as he brought his hand up again, this time scratching gently at the soft spot behind one of her ears as he would a normal cat.

"I'm entirely sure that it would be very relaxing and entertaining lass- actually I can just about see it too" He motioned with his eyes just at the point where tail and body connected. But with this heat I be half afraid we'd damn near fuse together, unless you had a way of figuring tha' out too hmmm? With that he used the toe of one boot to push the heel of his other boot off and to slide it fully off his foot, he then repeated it with the other boot. In a single motion he swept his legs up onto the loveseat and laid down at the same time, raising one leg just so it passed over Stars head, so that one was alongside her and the other hung over the edge. His head was propped up on the pillow he had been leaning an arm on and he laid in such a way that no matter how he looked at the Neko, he ended up giving her a suggestive look.

Starlight’s bright irises followed the movement of Rubber’s as his gaze travelled up and down her body. She tensed up at the man began to rub behind her ear, but in moments she melted at her touch. She began to purr even louder, her eyes fluttering shut. “I'm entirely sure that it would be very relaxing and entertaining lass- actually I can just about see it too. But with this heat I be half afraid we'd damn near fuse together, unless you had a way of figuring tha' out too hmmm?”

Star watched with interest as Rubber sat up and placed a leg on the other side of her body. The look on his face was like an open invitation, and Star was glad to take it. She leaned forward so she was on all fours and crawled toward her captain, her eyes brimming with lust. As Star stopped, sitting in his lap with her face mere inches away from his, the scene faded to black
