@Dark Light

The Golden age of Piracy

-On the Gunpowder Storm, midday-

Captain Tylor used a small brown cloth to wipe the sweat off his forehead, dealing with Blackbeard always made him nervous, he knew that man woud be the end of him someday. He poured himself a drink, action that was questioned by the First Mate who had proved herselef worthy of her position many times, they had a brief conversation about the "secret" meeting and finally he gave the second in charge the green light for returning to Nassau, then made a gesture with his hand so Anne knew the man wanted to be alone as he had noticed Iashaan was approaching.

The bright sun of the Caribbean iluminated the Captain's cabin through it's windows with thick yellowish glasses, the man could not take his eyes off the map and what the other Captain talked about. The man, who's exact origin was unknown to everyone, knew it was a potential suicide...but if Blackbeard was right then the entire Gunpowders Storm's crew could forget about piracy and money problems for the rest of their lives

The First Mate intercepted Ishaan from entering the Captain's cabin, or maybe Ishaan intercepted the First Mate from going out, in any case the man talked about always tending to his duties, which was fun as it was Ishaan himself who had to threaten a sailor with giving him lashes the next time he was caught sleeping. After the little how was over the First Mate gave the Quarter Master a glare.

"You shall know once the Captain thinks the moment for revealing his plans comes. Before that...make sure no one falls asleep while on duty...Specially those of old age" She replied sarcasticaly before walking up to the ebony wheel with brass handles. She filled her lungs air before shouting the Captain's orders to the crew.

"WE ARE HEADING TO NASSAU!"

And immediately the heavy atmosphere caused by Blackbeard's presence shifted to one of joy.

Isabella was still on the Poop Deck but approached to she short staircase that led to the Quarter Deck -and from there to the Captain's cabin- with curiosity and hopes of hearing something interesting, with her protable telescope on her hands so in case she got caught by Edric she would have an excuse by saying she was checking the area or something. She never had a problem with the big man, but he sure was intimidating, whenever the man rised his voice the girl felt goose bumps even though she knew he was not talking to her. I instead she caught a little chat between the First Mate and the Quartermaster, luckily for the blonde they could see her since the two were a bit lower on the Quarter Deck. The conversation was short and as soon as Isabella heard the First Mate's steps she rushed to her maps and tools, then out of no where a feline figure jumped onto the little table and taking the spaniard by surprise, it was no other than Dewey, the one in charge of controlling pests on the ship. The animal looked at Isabella as if telling her to mind her own business.

With the First Mate giving the order the vessel finally resumed it's march towards the coast of Nassau and everyone could have some proper rest, or fun, even though there was much work to do. As they got closer to their little "land of freedom" Isabella played with the gold ring on her left middle finger -a gift from her mother- while her blue eyes were locked on the huge fortress that defended the pirate haven. She was called back at reality when the anchor hit the water once more and the crew started gathering around the jolly boats making a line to get off the ship in "order", as ordered as pirates could be. She left her rapier hanging from her chair and joined them, some looked so desperate for female attention Isabella could only feel pity.

"Go ahead, I have no hurry" she told with her spanish accent to one of the sailors who got on the line just after her and he as quite happy to take the place.

Crew's Berthing: Sleeping areas for the crew, sometimes in hammocks or dedicated spaces. Boys and girls separated by a courtain
Galley: The ship's kitchen, where meals were prepared.
Gun Deck: Where the ship's cannons were mounted and the crew operated them. Also served as living quarters for many.

Storage and Utility Areas:

Powder Room (Magazine): A secure space for storing gunpowder, often with a separate light room for illumination.
Bread Room: Adjoining the galley, used for storing flour and ship's bread.

Other Important Areas:

We should also think of a medical bay

@Psycho Sushi

@Dark Light

The Golden age of Piracy

I think 1 week is fair, honestly. Should we make a discord server for the OOC to be easier?

@Ducksworth

i talked about the discord with the first mate. I am honestly worried we may lose interest on the IC and and focus more on the discord chat. But if you guys are fine with discord then we'll start a group

The Golden age of Piracy

Sorry to be bothering you with so many OOC posts guys, but there are things that have to be solved:

the next additional note is about player's absence, how many days should we wait before we skip the player's post and contiue as if nothing happened?

With co-gm @Zoie hart we thought 1 WEEK is more than enough if we dont have news about the player. But we please ask you to make us know if you can't post within one week, remember we are waiting for your posts so the posting circle starts again

The Golden age of Piracy

more additional notes to be added:

-Posting order: We shall wait for every player to post once before the circle starts again. The following order is: 1st Me (cuz I say so), 2nd @Zoie Hart and the rest can post in the order they see fit. The reason for this is because Zoie's character is First Mate, so she represents the Captain's interest and ultimately my own's.

(If you have something against it just say so, you wont be killed just abandoned on a desert island without food nor water lol)

-Characters mentioned on your post: Whenever you interact or simply comment YC's thoughts about other player's character make sure to @ the player at the end of the post, just to make sure we don't overlook a possible interaction. For examle : "Isabella saw Edric carrying some heavy boxes to the port, thinking she may be a hindrance decided to just watch" So I should @ Ducksworth. If the player wants to interact or not is their business

The Golden age of Piracy

I'm getting the next post ready while we wait for those who have not made their intro yet.

I made a little correction on my intro post (Isabella was at the poop deck and not at the quarter deck as I initially posted) I love how this rp makes me investigate more and more about ships structures and stuff

The Golden age of Piracy

Up to you Captain!

@Tally Dor

we pirtates are quite democratic lol
