The Pirate Saga

Runali turned to look over at the stranger, still sipping her water. Well this was easier than she thought. It was the first island she went to and one person was already interested in her offer. "Oh, pay? Well I could always share-" Then someone else interrupted, that someone being the red head from before. "You're interested too?" Runali swiveled the bar stool so her back faced the bartender. "I'm looking for a treasure. A pirate treasure to be exact. If you help me find it, I'll be glad to share it with you. Eh, I don't need it all. And as for you Ms. Redhead, I'm a chef so I think food won't be a problem. And if you'd like, I could split the treasure with you too if you like." She gave a simple shrug and waited for their responses. "If you two become apart of my pirate crew I'd split the treasure with you. And of course feed you. But you do know that means, you'll be chased by the government." Runali stood slowly and stretched. "Hmph, I'll give you time to think it over if you'd like and I have to put my new collection on my ship." She shrugged and then decided to head to her ship. "I'm Runali by the way. Runa for short." Despite being interested, Runa seemed pretty careless about the whole ordeal. But that was just how she treated most things. And with that, Runali left the tavern in order to put her new 'found' money on her ship.

The Pirate Saga

The minor incident turned into something really uncalled for. The pirate continued glaring her down, but she made no effort to move. In fact, she stopped acknowledging him. Now she was just doing it on purpose to see how long it'd take him to actually fight. "Why you little-" He grumbled a few curses as he grabbed a gun, pointing it at her. "Is it that serious? Do you have to resort to killing me? All because you got embarrassed?" Runali yawned and turned to face the captain. She smirked and in a flash, snatched his gun away from him and then pointed it toward him. It happened so suddenly, even her new enemy was surprised. "That wasn't a very good idea." The gun was set down on the counter and she slid it to the bartender. He had just walked away from some other person who seemed not to have an interest in the fight as well.

In the next few moments, Runali silently stood and easily knocked the captain out. "You're no fun. I didn't even have to use my skills against you." Runali leaned against the counter, and handed the bartender enough to pay for her drink. "Oh. I guess he should pay for his damages, yes?" She reached over to the unconscious captain and grabbed the bag from his pocket. "This should pay for everything." Runali noticed the same guy that was sitting at the bar take down a few of the pirates, and then he noticed a minor commotion outside. "Hey, you're a pretty skilled fighter- give me a sec." She started talking to the stranger but Runali went towards the commotion outside. She noticed two guys attacking some red head and decided to help. As they ran toward the girl, she tripped one of them, making them fall into a barrel and let her handle the other. "Sorry about that. I think they got a little upset over something I said. Didn't mean to cause trouble for you? Hmm... Here. I should make it up to you." Runali looked in one pocket, taking out a few coins from it. "Here you go." She shrugged and then turned back inside.
"Goodness, I come here to find a crew and I start trouble..." She said aloud, but to herself. She stepped over the unconscious people, casually taking a few coin pouches they had. "Bartender? Do you know where I could find... Good navigators, um... Shipwrights....maybe doctors too... And of course weapons specialists?" The bartender laughed. "It sounds like you're trying to gather up a pirate crew or something, sorry girly I only work at this bar. I'm not into searching around for potential pirates." She gave a small shrug and got another water.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

>.<" Tell me if I need to change anything.

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

It's just a myth. A legend. No one has seen such a silly thing. All it is is a rumor to keep people like you entertained.

"Just a rumor, eh? Well, I'll find out." Earlier that day in a little coffee shop, one young woman by the name of Ace had been listening to the fascinating murmurs of that fascinating train to nowhere. She had heard it before, but now that it was New Year's Eve the rumor was even more interesting. More stories were given, all beyond her wildest imagination. Her boss could see the excitement in her grey eyes and immediately tried discouraging her. But, it only made her even more anxious to go. Just be safe out there, okay? Ace's elderly boss worried about the girl sometimes, but knew she couldn't be stopped. He had heard that she was alone in her life, but every time it was brought up the girl would just push it aside.
And it was the truth, Ace didn't like talking about the family she didn't have. She didn't like talking about her past or anything of the sort. "Why look back when you have a whole lot forward?" That's what she normally told people.

It was 12:05. She was late to the train station. The streets were filled with partiers all celebrating the new year, all wanting to get to the next party. But Ace had another destination and she didn't want to miss it for the world. Her red and black baseball cap was backwards on her head, pressing her bangs down against her face. At the moment, only one grey eye was visible as she raced through the streets to get to the train station. She was already disheartened because it was past midnight. What if she missed it? What if this was her only chance to see if it existed? Was it too late?
12:13.
Ace panted, trying to catch her breath from all the running. The station was quiet, minus her heavy breathing- and there was no one in sight. The determination in Ace set in. She had made it this far, she could wait a little longer. So, Ace sat down on one of the benches, slipping her black jacket on over her plain white shirt. It was a little chilly, but thankfully she was wearing jeans instead of a skirt. There was nothing she could do now besides wait. In the midst of her waiting, she found a person to talk to. Elliot... Or Leon. She liked Elliot better. He too wanted to see the mysterious train, so in the end they waited together.

Just as she was about to call it quits, 12:23 hit. After a few moments Ace heard the sound of the train coming and she froze in place. Excitement and anticipation bubbled up inside as she stood quickly. A sleek train of fleeting colors and stars rolled into the station, slowly coming to a stop. Ace nearly bursted with silent excitement. She whirled around to see if anyone else was around to see it, but she remembered it was just her. All...by herself...
"This is...surreal." Something urged her forward. Something called out to her. Ace took steps forward, peering inside as the double doors slid open. Come on! We can have fun! A playful voice echoed through her ears. That was all it took for her to climb aboard the train. Just as she got on to see who coaxed her on, the doors slammed shut and the train jolted forward.

And yet for some reason, Ace wasn't scared. She was curious and eager to find out what happened next. It wasn't like she was leaving much behind. Ace turned her attention when she realized there were passengers on the train, but they weren't human. It only made the discovery more amazing. "This is incredible." She looked around at the oddities about and decided to take a seat. She didn't know how long this train ride would be to- The intercom stopped her thoughts. "Nowhere..." She echoed as the male spoke. Welcome to Nowhere. She was really going to the rumored place... Nowhere. There was a moment of doubt that raced through her mind, but she discarded the thought. She couldn't be dreaming. It was impossible... But there was someone with her. He was witnessing the excitement with her.

[b]That was two weeks ago...[b]

In the past two weeks, Ace found herself not only finding a new world, but exploring it as well. She and Elliot spent two weeks with a 'tour guide' named Froggy, both very interesting to be around, but that was more because Ace wasn't used to being around one person for so long. He showed them around the city, occasionally showing signs of being lost. It was okay though, because Ace didn't notice it, being too intrigued with everything out of the ordinary. Her conversations normally consisted of "Oohs!" or "Whoa!" and occasionally "What's that?" This was definitely a dream come true, and she had the proof right before her eyes. If she went back home, she could tell them all about it but then it occurred to her... Did she really want to go home? There was nothing back there for her really, and Nowhere was more than amazing.
...Was it really worth leaving? Ace didn't think she'd be able to wait an entire year again to come back to this wondrous place.

The two were now leaving an inn with a new guide, having to say goodbye to the silly Froggy person. This new guy looked fairly normal despite the cat ears he sported. She did note he was a lot calmer too. He led them to...wherever they were suppose to be going. Ace had forgot again, and didn't pay attention when Cello more than likely told them again. It had been two weeks and Ace was still fascinated with Nowhere. Her amazement was paused in order to answer Cello. "Froggy? We did a lot of touring. Boring, no! It was so much fun!" Ace beamed with excitement. "There were a lot of cool things he showed us!" As their pace quickened, Ace decided to ask, "Where are we going again?"

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Hah, it sounds fine to me! And I have no problem with the wait. (>.< I've waited this long right?) and nice to meet you Oblivion, and the old group.

*No need to worry about the three day rule with me. I'll let you know if something comes up.

Edit: By the way. I did the thing. With the Skype. And such.

The Pirate Saga

Flashback to a week ago:

"You sure you'll be alright Runa? I don't want you getting hurt out there. I told you it would've been easier for you to join a crew instead of create one."
Runali gave a smile and patted the male's shoulder. "Max, I know you worry. But you know I'm fully capable of handling my own. And you know that if I joined a crew they would make me do work. You and I both know that wouldn't work." The two shared a small laugh before shaking hands. "Be careful out there kid!"
"Don't worry, I will."

It had now been exactly a week since she departed from her friend. Runali Lev had set sail to the grand seas, ready for adventure. It wasn't like her to be so adventurous or in want to move around, but the idea of sailing the seas sounded so much nicer than sitting around at home all day. So what better way to cure that boredom than to become a pirate? At the time, it was just her on a decently spaced pirate ship with nothing but nice warm air and the ocean breeze. A few minutes into her nap, the dark haired female heard the sounds of a bustling town. She sat up and confirmed what she heard. There indeed was a town, and it was the perfect opportunity to restock! Then she remembered her friend's advice:
"Get your crew as fast as possible. You'll need the back up once you set off onto your journey. "Get a crew. Right." She reminded herself.

Once her ship was docked and anchored, Runali looked around the town. A little sign nearby gave away the island and town name, Canter Island. It was a busy island from the looks of it, so she stayed close to port, not wanting to get lost in the hustle and bustle. Runali had to carefully plan out who she needed in her crew. First, she knew she wasn't going to want a large crew. Second came a doctor and a shipwright. Those were two of the most important parts of any crew. It was good to know that Runali was a cook, so that part wasn't needed. Then she'd need a navigator so she wasn't wandering the seas like a list puppy. And then came the gunman of the crew, or the weapons specialist. Their defense would have to be strong too. As she carefully planned out each crew member she'd need, Runa walked into a tavern. She didn't notice the eyes that followed her until she took a seat on a stool. Well it was obvious she was an outsider, thanks to her attire. Runa sported a white button up shirt, with a thin black jacket over it. She had capris to save herself from the heat, but the peculiarities came with the eyepatch she wore on her left eye, and the black hat that had to white stripes along the rim.

"You're obviously not from around here, miss." The bartender said with a caution to his tone. "Is there a problem?" Runa then started to pay attention to the states she received, noticing some fearful. "Did I do something wrong?" Runali questioned the bartender until he spoke in a softer voice. "You're just in...his seat." The emphasis on 'his' made her look over to see a male- obviously a dirty pirate with a malicious grin to his eye. "I see we have a trespasser." The male's hand rested on the table and slid it closer to her. "But I think I'm willing to let you go with just a warning- hehe, for a price. " Her bored expression never changed. "Excuse you, but I was just ordering a water... You're going to have to wait your turn." There was a few gasps from the tavern when she spoke out instead of moving. What she did seemed to cause an annoyance in the unnamed pirate. Hopefully he didn't start a commotion. That was one less problem to-
And once a chair was tossed by one of the pirate's crew mates, everyone was fighting.
"Hmph. Tough town." Runa looked over at the irritated pirate, sipping on her new cup of water. Obviously, striking fear as a threat wasn't working out quite well.

Control who you want (just not my character.)

Tell me what to fix (though it'll be fixed later)

And post away!

The Midnight Train to Nowhere

Ha, thanks.
And okay. I think.

The Pirate Saga

Runali "Runa" Lev

Age: 20 Captains start young these days. Normally at 17 so I've heard.

Appearance:

Hipster Runa

Personality: So even Runa doesn't know how she became a captain. Sure she's able to lead people in emergency situations, but often times she is quite lazy. Her response to danger is quite slow, but it does irritate her opponents. Often times, she can be seen yawning out of boredom, especially if someone is giving a long drawn out speech. When Runa has to be, she can be quite skilled and lethal in fighting. But that's because people underestimate her.
Try to make her upset all you like, you'll end up giving up. The only ones she actually cares to listen to, or care about is her crew. Don't worry, under all that laziness, she has many hidden talents... Like actual leadership, and fighting skills, and etc.
"Now I think you're just making fun of me..."

Crew Position: Somehow these guys let her be the Captain of the Dusk Pirates.

Power: As you can see, she has an eyepatch. The eye that's not covered is yellow, but the eye that isn't is clear- almost as if she's blind. That "blind eye" can spot weak points in the body, along with the most deadliest places to strike. When one is wounded, it shows how bad it is as well. So kind of like a modified x-Ray. But if you cover her yellow eye, and only show the white one, she's rendered blind.

Bio: As a kid, Runa loved looking cloud gazing. She had a typical life, and a typical family. It'll probably be better explained throughout the RP.
One thing to note: As a kid, she knew Astaros. They were even friends at one point. But as they grew older, one followed the life of crime. It became so bad, it was to the point of him destroying half of Runa's home town. He nearly killed her parents, but he did kill her cat which is such a low blow.
Basically: He was a friend until he decided being a criminal was much more fun. He crossed the line when he almost killed her parents, killed her cat, and destroyed half of her hometown.
