1. Boarded: Your ship has been boarded, and as captain you've been captured! Better hope the other captain gives quarter. Alternatively, it's a nice warm day for a swim. That plank was made for walking.

2. Victory: You've captured another ship! You knew those extra cannons would come in handy. And let's hope they've got lots of swag! Where's the captain? Are you the decent sort, or are you going to rub their face in it for a bit?

3. Swab the decks: You're a cabin boy! It's a good thing you don't mind doing all the dirty work, right? Anyway, the captain's calling; better see what they want.

4. Marooned: For a bit there you'd thought you were in Davy's Jones' grip, but somehow you've washed ashore with the driftwood. As you stare dazedly up from the surf, you have questions. Where are you? And who's that already on the shore?

5. Buried Treasure: Sink me! You've really found the mother lode. . . but you're not the only one. Who gets to take the treasure back to their ship? Better make sure it's you.

6. Rum: Rum, everywhere.

7. Swordfight: It's that person you can't stand! And they've taken your most valuable possession, that one of a kind thing you just can't live without! Better get that trinket back before it and your nemesis are gone over the side forever. Let's hear some swashes buckling.

8. Mutiny: The tack is full of maggots and this drinking water may as well have come from the gutter. There's one person to blame for this, and you're here to make especially sure that they pay for it. The captain does always seem to take the best treasure before everybody else.

9. Kidnapping: Don't they look rather peaceful, innocent even, sleeping so soundly there with their fancy nightclothes and pillows. Brings a tear to your eye, it does. Better take them aboard and send for a ransom.

10. Take a Gamble: Gotta spend your loot somehow, but it must have been the rum that had you bettin' everything at once! You've lost to your hornswagglin' shipmate; what did you lose, and what will they make you do now?

11. Under the Sea: You are now a Mermaid/Merman! That sailor over there sure looks appealing; let's see if you can lure them in with your charms. Don't forget that they can't breathe under water! You do seem to always forget, don't you. . .

12. The Doldrums: Can you say cabin fever? The sails haven't moved in weeks. You're about seeing if your mates can relieve this awful boredom.

13. Wild card. What do. Your choice. It doesn't even have to be here - wait why am I even explaining this to you YOU KNOW HOW THIS WORKS.

[The first thing Lili notices when she wakes from unconsciousness is that she's blindfolded, with her hands tied behind her back. The second is that the room she's in seems to be swaying, and she could hear the distant sound of waves. And the third is that she's laying on a soft bed, which is definitely not hers.

What happened? The last she remembers is walking along the docks, chatting with a few sailors, and then getting ready to heading back home. Her memories are fuzzy from that point onwards.]

Hallo? [She calls out hesitantly, unsure of her kidnappers' intents. It takes all her will power not to panic under this situation. Surely there is nothing that could come out of kidnapping her, right?]

[ Lili Zwingli.

Sister to the one and only Vash Zwingli. The man was notorious and had quite the reputation and tended to be one of those men who was responsible for many a pirates' capture. So what better revenge than capture his sister and call for a ransom? It sounded like a good idea and being as he was the fastest - and stealthiest - of the entire crew, it had been him who'd been enlisted on capturing her.

Which lead to this moment here.

Lovino's eyes ticked over to the bed when he heard the soft voice and moved to stand up, walking over to the bed, frowning as he looked down at the blindfolded girl. He hated that such a cute girl had to be put through this but captain's orders were orders and like hell he was going to defy those. ]

So you're finally awake. I suppose you'd like to know where you are?

[ His voice was firm; no-nonsense but not really angry as he probably should be. ]

[[ooc: Ah... I uses 'Vogel' for her instead of Zwingli. Nothing too serious though. <333]]

[The creak of the floorboards caused her to pause, ears straining to listen for any more sounds. The heavy boots gave an ominous hollow thump that got closer with every step, and Lili failed to hide the flinch when the youthful voice spoke.]

Ah... Ja. Urm... [Her mind scrambled for a reply. Did the man, whether sailor or the captain himself, want a straight answer? She was quite certain that he wouldn't appreciate a cheeky remark.] A ship. [A pause.] Mein Herr.

[In an instinctive defensive move, Lili began to shift, pushing herself further into the bed and away from the man's voice. A futile attempt, she was sure, where she has no where else to escape to.]

[[ooc: Duly noted~ ♥ ]

[ Really. They weren't too far apart in age for the most part, but it really was harder to tell with the almost gruff tone he spoke in most of the time.

Though her use of German did hit a nerve. His brother was taken off by some other pirates of German descent some time ago and as such it didn't sit well. This girl had nothing to do with it though, and he had to shove that aside as getting all worked up wouldn't do any good. ]

Si. You're on the ship 'Conquistador', under the control of the great pirate Antonio Fernandez Carriedo. [ Why the fuck did his damn captain have such a stupidly long name again? ] You don't have to worry. I'm not going to hurt you.

[ A pause and he sighs. ] As long as your brother hands over that damn ransom money then you'll be able to go home safely.

[The name of the ship rang a bell in her, and that brought a shiver up her spine. It was one of the pirate ship that her brother had been doing his best to capture and bring the captain in alive. The captain's name alone was enough to send fear through even the staunchest of men, and Lili too wasn't unaffected by it. Her chest tightened, breath coming short as she trembled lightly.]

All r-right...

[She tried to relax, trusting that the man gave his word and wouldn't harm her. At the mention of the ransom money, though, she started to shake her head.] We do not have a lot, and it is pointless. Even if I am released, he will still search for you.

[She wasn't taunting the man, nor his captain. Instead merely stating the truth. There was no denying that her brother will do his best to gather the required amount, but it crushed her heart to know that her own carelessness (whether accidental or not) had brought such fate upon them.]

Antonio's one of the most feared pirates on the damned seas. Hell will freeze over before anyone can capture him, especially your brother. No matter how hard he searches. All that matters is he hands over the money and that's that.

[ Lovino shakes his head and he moves to kneel on the edge of the bed, taking a second to think about something for a moment before continuing, and when he speaks again his voice is a touch softer than before; almost hesitant. ]

Look. Your brother. He... searches for a lot of us. Tell me. Do you know if there's been any word at all on the location of the ship called 'The Black Eagle'?

[ It... was the ship his brother'd been taken on; he could remember that much. He was determined to take it back from those German bastards. Both that silver-haired one and the blond, and he wasn't going to rest until his brother was back on this ship, damn it. ]

[The man's harsh tones made Lili flinch away further into the bed, her back coming very close to the wooden wall. Vash often tried to keep the details of his duty away from her, but she knew about the pirate ships that he had his eyes on. In truth, even if her brother wasn't able to capture the 'Conquistador', there were other people on the look out, although Vash was undeniably one of the best in his job.

The mention of another ship was nearly lost to Lili, but she willed herself to calm down enough to think clearly. It wouldn't do her any good to panic and lose the chance to be of use to the man. She had heard tales of those kidnapped being tossed overboard when their demands weren't met; her brother will never be able to find her again.]

'The Black Eagle'?

[She fell quiet for a bit, her mind whirling and searching for information on the ship, any details that will help in her cause. Indeed, there was a flicker in her memory of a mention of that large ship. Her mouth opened to speak, hesitating for a moment to wonder about the worst consequences she could imagine. Taking in a shaky breath, she at last told the man what she knew of.]

The last location is the Caribbean. I know nothing else.

[ There's a spark of hope there and it's better than nothing. It makes him feel almost... happy knowing that now. As a reward for that, he reaches forward carefully and undoes the blindfold, pulling it away from her eyes for now. She can see now that he really is not much older than her; a young man of 22 with olive-tanned skin and reddish-brown hair, startling green eyes holding not quite the fierce look in them as one would expect from someone who was a pirate. ]

mm. It isn't much, but I... I appreciate it.

I'm looking for my brother so that info... I needed it.

[ It's slight; but he can be civil compared to the other pirates on the ship. At least where young women were involved. ] You don't have to be so afraid of me. I... won't hurt you.

[Lili held her breath as she felt fingers at the back of her head, and then she was blinking against the light, her sight a little blur from the long length of being blindfolded. There was a look of surprise in her eyes to put a face to the voice she had heard the entire time. The earnest look in his green eyes caused a pang in her, its colour reminding her acutely of her brother.]

Your brother...? [So the rumours that she had caught wind of were true. There were stories shared amongst the sailors about the German brothers who had a member in their ranks, whether by force or voluntarily was debatable. She knew it then that this man must have been searching for his sibling for close to five months already, and her heart went out to him, in addition to the kindness he had shown her.]

Thank you, kind sir. I wish I had more information for you.

[ Lovino nodded at the question, a slight, minute smile showing on his lips for a moment. Yes his brother was annoying but damn it, he was still family and he wanted to get Feli back and five months already had been too long of searching but he refused to give up.

The words from her had helped more than anything else.

However at her thanks, he blushed a little and glanced away shortly; not being rude really, but more that she was so kind and he felt bad having to do this. Keep her here like this but at the least he could keep her company when he could until negotiations had been discussed. ]

I-It's alright. This helps. We can try and discern their location now from the information you've given me.

[ A pause. This kinder side of him was really something anyone really saw, being quite rare for when they did occasionally happen, normally being quite foul-mouthed and moody to every other person on board. ]

I... If anything I should be thanking you for being so cooperative.

[[ooc: 'Stalk' isn't the best way to describe. But yes, I do enjoy reading either of your threads. XD]]

[That brief smile and flush of colour didn't go unnoticed to Lili, who couldn't help but be relieved to see another side of the sailor. She trust this man wouldn't harm her, and hadn't meant to kidnap her in the first place. It was still a crime, but she knew there was no ill intent behind that, and reminds herself to put in a good word for this man if the need ever arose.]

There is nothing much to thank me for, but I am glad the information is of help to you. [It was instilled in her to be the peace maker whenever there were arguments or conflicts, preferring to settle matters peacefully and cordially.]

This might be asking too much of you, but... could you loosen the bonds? I... I promise not to run. [Her tone was pleading, and her eyes were lightly glazed with unshed tears.]

[ooc: o////o i-i've never been 'stalked' in any way before ♥ I'm glad that you enjoy reading my threads~ ♥ ]

[ Blinking a bit at the request, Lovino spared a glance toward the door and then back to Lili. That look in her eyes was just about killing him. He couldn't resist that, damn it. With that in mind, he nodded and shifted so he could reach back and behind her.

In a matter of a few short moments, he'd managed to loosen her bonds just enough so they'd be comfortable before pulling back. ]

There. Is that a bit more comfortable now?

( Antonio had once been a respected officer in the navy. However, a humiliating defeat at sea though, his superiors had to find someone to blame. After losing his rank and honor, Antonio has been a bit of a rogue at sea since. Some day, he'll find the pirate that bested him and regain his honor. Or, well, that's the plan anyways. )

[ There's a knock on the Captain's door; the man had wanted to see him and it gave him an excuse not to work so he could tolerate it. Ever since Antonio had went out on the sea, Lovino'd ended up joining him as he really had nothing better to do and he'd always wanted to see more of the sea for himself.

Unfortunately the only condition was that he could come and be a cabin boy; though in reality he was more of Antonio's second-in-command for what it was worth. He'd tolerate a bit of shitty work if he could stay on the seas with the other man. ]

It's me. You wanted to see me, Captain?

( It's true, even though Lovino was just supposed to be a cabin boy and do busy work, Antonio was rather fond of him. He reminded him of a man he admired when he was younger at times. When Lovino enters, he motions for him to come closer to the desk. There's a map of the general area spread out and he begins to point to where they are, )

Sí. We should be landing some time tomorrow to get some supplies before following Arthur's path. ( He draws a line towards a small port city and then away, out to sea again but along a few island chains, ) I think it would be best if you stayed behind.

[ There's a slight quirk of his brow at this but he nods, surveying the map once he'd gotten closer to the desk, watching the lines made before those words registered.

All at once his expression darkened and he shook his hand, placing his hands down on the edge of the desk in clear anger. ]

What?! Why?! I want to stay with you through this whole thing, damn it!!

You can't. ( Antonio sits back and looks at Lovino calmly, ) It's too dangerous.

Puerto la Cruz is a good town. Find a good girl, settle down, start a family. . . Think of the stories you'll be able to tell everyone now.

[ Lovino shook his head repeatedly, hands clenching into fists as a painful feeling settled in his chest. ]

No! I don't give a fuck if it's too dangerous! We've been through so much already and you just want to get rid of me now? I'm not going to drag you down or hold you back or whatever stupid reason you have for wanting to do this!

This time it's different, Lovino. Capitán's orders: You won't be coming with us.

( Of course he wouldn't make this easy. Antonio manages a smile at Lovino before drawing his pistol and aiming at him. )

Staying at Puerto la Cruz would be the easier choice.

I--

[ His blood ran cold and eyes widened when that pistol was drawn and aimed at him. Instinctively he took a step back, the color draining from his face a little and legs feeling stupidly weak. ]

...So... e-either I go willingly or you'd kill me?

[ Painful tears welled up in the corners of his eyes and he scoffed a bit, trying to hide how much this was killing him inside. ] ...You're going to go get your ass killed doing this without me... leaving me behind alone in some stupid town...

If not me: Arthur.

( And he draws it back some. There's a click and the gun is ready to fire at the pull of a trigger. )

Ay, Lovi, look at you now. Nothing has happened yet and you're already afraid. I don't need people who are afraid to die.

( Does that mean Antonio isn't afraid. . . Well, he really would do anything to catch Arthur. )

[ The idea of death didn't scare him as much as the idea of losing someone he'd come to be somewhat close to - though he'd not admit it - as the man had taken care of him up until now and then this was just painful. So was hearing that click, swearing he heard his damn heart miss a beat for a second.

However it was the words that cut the deepest.

Bracing himself, he stepped forwards boldly and glowered at the older man despite the movement might have just gotten him shot at. Being told he wasn't needed quite hurt and he wasn't going to back down now despite his instincts told him otherwise. ]

I'm not afraid to die. Anyone would react that way if you suddenly just drew a damn gun on them, damn it!

( The challenging smile never fades and he tilts his head to one side at Lovino's claim. "Is that so?" )

Careful.

( And he tosses the pistol towards the other man. )

Then try me.

[ By a simple chance alone, he barely managed to catch that pistol when it was thrown at him, staring at it bemusedly before his gaze ticked upward to the Spaniard a bit in shock. ]

What? It's n-not the same, i-idiot!

[ He never meant it rudely, saying it more out of habit than anything else, but he exhales a breath and just gets a good hold on the gun and holds it out as if he was going to shoot his captain. Managing to do so without his hand shaking, which was a feat in itself.

Damn it he's going to prove a point. Somehow. ]

You gave me the gun and now I could shoot you where you stand. I could make it so you couldn't go after that Arthur bastard...
