[IC] The Black Tide

[Casterlyrock]

Casterly stood at the helm of her ship the Devils rock, watching the waves crash by as they sailed south towards where she planned to cut off a trading galley and make off with all of their good, they were still about a day out from their target, her eyes fell on the crew of her ship as they worked tying lines and scrubbing the deck and other jobs she wanted done, this was her castle and on the rock she was queen, she looked for one of her crew yelling out "Finch! get your bony ass over here" Casterly was a woman who was hot tempered, loud but always cared for her crew no matter how much she yelled at them, she looked around and waited for her cabin boy to find her at the helm "we have a day before we hit our target boys, and i want my baby to be at top shape when we take all their goods as our own, so put your damn back into it and tonight will break out a barrel of rum!" she yelled out over the deck and the crew cheered for rum and worked that much harder.

[Alexjits]

Alexander laughed as he stood near the navigation glaring to Finch "Ya' 'eard her Finch! Get goin'!" Alexander winked over at Casterly as he took out a spyglass and started to search for targets if any were in the area

[XxLyraxX]

A blonde child with bright blue eyes appeared from below deck and picked "his" way around the other crew members until "he" located the Captin on the helm. The girl, who was pretending to be a boy quickly scrambled over to the older women and stood peering up at her, the girl tilting her head to the side in a silent question.

[Casterlyrock]

Casterly smirked as Finch stood beside her "always quick on your feet" she reached down and ruffled Finches hair "I need you to go down bellow deck and grab me a bottle of my personal stash of rum, and bring it to my cabin, mister price and myself need to plan out our attack on the galley tomorrow, but I want you there as well kid because you are going to play a part in my plan okay?" Casterly seen Willow as a younger sibling, very protective of the girl who sneaked aboard her ship, even going so far as tossing her last quartermaster before Alexander off the ship when he tried hurt her one night while drunk from then on the crew knew Casterly's cabin boy was off limits to harm of any kind.
"after you are done setting up, go to the kitchen and get something to eat for me and you and bring it to my cabin agreed?" she asked giving Finch a playful kick in the backside to get her on her way.

[XxLyraxX]

Finch nodded and darted away, back towards the door that lead inside the ship. She went below deck and went to a far corner, where the Captin's personal stash was. Everyone was warned to never even step foot back there or else face the Caaptins wrath; and that was something to fear. The girl quickly grabbed a bottle and scurried back to the older women's quarter's, setting the bottle on the table before making her way towards the kitchen. She waved at the cook as she walked in. "Hey there Finch, come fer the Cap'n's food?" He asked as he limped over to the child. Finch nodded and was soon given two platters which she carefully took back to Casterly's cabin, setting those down on the table as well.

[KingOfKings]

Eri just needed to hear the word "rum" to wake up from her loooong nap, "RUM!? WHERE!?" she jumped from the shroud tied to the main mast and landed on the shoulders of one of the crew, she loved sleeping there and hated all the heavy work as tying lines, she just waited for thecaptain to take her to battle "RUM! RUM! RUM!" she repited to herself and jumped from cannon to cannon until she reached the captain, "RUM!"

[Casterlyrock]

casterly watched finch quickly leave when she heard the ships Frenetic Ball of Kinetic Energy wake up at the word rum "if you scuff my cannons Eri ill make you polish each one" she smirked as Eri was now beside her "i told the crew that when all the work is done then i will pop a barrel, but if you want to skip the line you have to do a task for me" Casterly leaned on the railing with a devious smile on her face.

[Alexjits]

Alexander leaned onto one of the wooden railings looking over "Hm...Bad waves ahead...Navigator! Go to half sail!" The sails are lowered to only half as the boat slows "Casterly! We got a few heavy waves incoming!"

[KingOfKings]

Eri went on knees and strated to play and rub herself against Casterly's legs like if she was a cat "you talk, i kisten~~" she said and purred like a cat, no one could resist such charm of her's. she then stopped and looked at Casterly's eyes with cold eyes "who do i have to kill?" she asked as if it was something she did daily, well...she did it daily

[Casterlyrock]

Her eyes went to Alexander as he reported the heavy weather "make sure everything that can fly over board is tied down, I dont want to use even a single barrel you hear me!" she yelled at the crew "if we hit a storm it might throw us off corse of the galley we are chacing, try to advoid any heavy clouds, with any luck we will advoid any storm and they will get hit making them a better target" Casterly eyes quickly went to Eri who was at her feet

Casterly couldnt resist the charm of Eri but only laughed and playfully shooed her away with her boot "where do i pick up such a weird crew....you dont have to kill anyone, no killing the crew on my ship okay, we are a day away from a score and if they dont yeild you can kill then, but right now...if you want some rum" Casterly leaned in and whispered "go steal me that spyglass mister price has, but he cant know you stole it okay you do that i will get you a pint of rum, im going to my cabin to eat, bring it to me when you get it....and if you get caught tell mister price to come to my cabin after he is done making you clean my cannons" she laughed and gave Eri a pinch on the cheek and started talking to herself "some crew are filled with killers, im surrounded by odd balls" no matter how much she sometimes complined about how her crew acted, they always served her and did what was asked and did it well, so she put up with the off comments by other captains when they made port.

[KingOfKings]

"easy cake" Eri said and jumped to the water , a few seconds later she climbed back to the ship "aw...im all wet" she said and looked mr Price and smiled "could you help me? a towel or something is ok~~" she said with a charming voice mr Price counldn't resist and as soon as he geys distracted she would steal the spyglass, she looked at Casterly and smirked

[XxLyraxX]

Her job now done Finch exited the Captins quarter's and went back on deck, looking around as crew members went back and forth. Finch spotted Eri and went over. The child gazed up at the women and tilted "his" head to the side, silently asking why she was wet.

[Alexjits]

Alexander ran towards a few barrels and started to tie them down "Eri i'm slight busy at the moment! I would love to but i'm busy so do the job!" Alexander liked the cabin boy, Eri and Casterly, He found it a hard job to work seeming he was one of the only men on the crew but stuck with it "Try and help out the Cabin Boy while your at it!"

[KingOfKings]

Eri smiled and got behind Mr Price, with a quick movement of her hand she stole the spyglass from his backpocket without him noticing and gave it to Finch and covered it with a cloth "oh thank you very much" Eri said when Price gave her a towela nad she dryed her hair, Price left and Eri smiled at Finch "mission completed~~" she said and left the spyglass in the captains room, then she walked to the deck, more exactly to the shroud and took a nap, again

[XxLyraxX]

Finch saw what Alexander was doing and rushed to help, scurrying over to a group of barrels and began to tie them down quickly, "his" hands working swiftly as "he" tied the knots securely; using what "he" had learned while on the ship.

[Alexjits]

Alexander smiled towards Finch "Finch tie them up secured! The waves will be incoming soon!" Alexander would pick up another spyglass knowing Eri stole the other one "Hold onto something!"

[XxLyraxX]

Finch looked over at the man and nodded, tightening the knots as much as she could. She heard Alexander's warning and quickly grabbed onto one of the barrels, holding on tightly.

[Alexjits]

Alexander held onto the wheel shoving the Navigator out of the way as the waves hit harshly starting to rock the boat back and forth

[KingOfKings]

Eri was sleeping, se didnt have problems even with such big waves like those hitting the ship. she had her legs tied to the shroud, a huge wave hit the ship making it shake, Eri fell backwards and was now upside down, haging from hertied legs. even so she kept sleeping as if nothing happened, her long ponny tail tickled everyone thatn passed below her

[XxLyraxX]

Finch gasped as the ship rocked to and fro, hanging on tightly to the barrel as her small body was jerked to the side.
