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.
