Lucky Bastard OOC
The bright morning sun shone through the small window of his cramped captain quarters. A low groan filled with hangover and regret fills the air as a head of messy brown red hair stands up accompanied by an attractive if slightly grumpy face. Raven sleepily grumples to himself as he scratches his head feeling the sway of the ocean waves on the boat rocking him to a for. " Oh gods." He mutters with an Irish accent. " Why did I let them convince me to drink so much last night."

He than stands up in just his briefs before lazily getting dressed in his captain attire though sometimes he wonders if the others think of him as a leader or just a friend there on an adventure with. His blue green eyes scan the veiw outside of the ship. It has been many days since his world changed as the empire matched to his homeland and demanded surrender. As much as part of him knew his father was wise in not throwing away life's but he still felt a resentment for not getting the choice to fight not that many knew if his past aside from those that ran with him. Most that met him just knew the almost irrational grudge he had against the empire and almost suicidal need to be a thorn in their side but knew between than to say it outloud.

He than slowly walks to deck of the ship watching the men that took night watch. " Aye Mercury! Who was in charge of this lot while we were away " he calls out to his best friend from wherever his friend may have posted up for the night. He could see from scene in front of him that they weren't the only ones that decided to celebrate too much last night.

Lucky watched Zik run with a sense of apprehension filling his chest and hoped that Zik would know to keep to shadows and not draw and monster's ire and attention. He was brought back from his worries when Aiden asked about following him and it was a throught. He shook himself out of it and looked up. " As much as I like another eye on him we can't afford you to go." He shouted up at the mystery. " You get to do your favorite duty protect the ship and keep up morail." His face turned somber as memories as past battles rage. " You remember how our first crew faired against the fiend dont you?" When they started it was a small trio of boys than ran from home to find adventure well he felt his friends were more in for the fun than his cuase but he didn't complain. " Shout when you see a force approach and if you see Zik be stupid feel free to disobey." He than went to be sure his crew would be ready.

Henry looked at the other man who was in his rest state apparently so he wouldn't be much help till he was called. " Just keep an eye on her and get her to safety...we both know her habit for trouble. he shook his head with a rueful smiled than went to look up at his captain and admittedly enjoying the veiw. " What do you see Marine? All normal or does it seem odd?" He than looked around his own shoulder to be sure.
( If you want me to post Blackbeard I can as well.)
 
She heard them talk, narrowing her eyes and puffing her cheeks even when they were right most of the time that she ran into literal dangerous with the little care she had most of the time. “ well doesn’t seem much..” putting a hand to her hip as she walked with a bored sigh still seeing how much she didn’t care about the possible danger until it would literally happen. “ nothing should stop the houshou marines and we will always make it.” Sticking her tongue out and making the little noise to tease him. Finally getting closer near the buildings, “ but now a freakin drink though….”
 
Zik slinked away from the docks themselves. He knew after a while he wouldn't be seen anymore. The people of the port were none the wiser to the growing threat. People paid him no attention even with his glowing eye. He was able to maneuver between crowds fluidly, but he was not without his flaws. Being a pirate always brought with it a certain duty to loot anything always.. so he couldn't help himself to a few pockets as he went, along with a scarf or two to hide his face further. He was closing in on Blackbeard's presence, which was surprisingly deep into the port.

He looked back, the ship and now Aiden just barely visible to him. Their presence was faint, but he could still feel them. Zik looked around currently and climbed onto a stack of boxes to make himself more visible. He made a few hand and arm gestures in their direction, his signals for when he was scouting, this one letting them know he was okay so far. He turned back towards a few buildings, and took out his pipe. He puffed at it a few times.. letting the high wash over him slowly, and feeling his quirk strengthen.

He went to drop down but froze. His gaze turned glossy as he zoned out. A new set of people had popped up on the other side of the island. A small crew.. with one person that hit Zik with familiarity.. but for some reason, this time he could not place who they were. They were already heading towards Blackbeard's location. Zik was closer than they were though.. he snapped back with a jolt, that caused him to stumble, but otherwise maintain his balance. Sighing.. he signaled in the air once again, this time relaying that something has changed.

He hopped down and continued forward. Blackbeard was certainly readying an attack. And now there was another person approaching that Zik knew.. and that typically wasn't a good thing for him. He also knew he was bound to find trouble.. wherever he went.
 
Henry looked at his beloved Captain with an unamused expression. " I feel you take that we have a demi god for granted but we can get a drink and maybe collect news about what's going on. Levi can you look after the crew till we're back." He said with a nod than started to talk to marine as she gazed out.

Blackbeard's men walked around with evil grins as the walker down the ally. People hurried inside at the sight knowing Blackbeard's temper and what this crew did to passerbys raping, killing and robbing for fun. The town was thankful that they were distracted by whatever skirmish they had with other crews by just wanted them to go.
 
'Heh. That's right, you better run.'






The presence of Blackbeard and his crew paralyzed the coastal town like a hailstorm. People's eyes went wide, moments later they scattered like ants into their homes and shut the blinds. People who didn't have the decency to hide were shown why that was a mistake… And they were shown pretty quickly.
Blackbeard didn't have any hang ups about theft, lies, cruelty, violence…. Especially the... senseless violence:




CraCK

"….!"

The kind Naire was pretty good at. Especially at his age- -


CrrACk

Since he wasn't allowed supposed to follow the men into the brothels yet- where Blackbeard and his fellow degenerates liked to squeeze their salty balls betwixt sinfully pale thighs tarry after docking- he had to find something to keep himself busy. A young punk like him? If he didn't have anything to clean, strip, fix, or boil on deck, he would keep himself busy by going through all the ways he could annoy Akemi or get her attention.
And as fun as it was to pester his older sister, he couldn't forsake the odd chance to get off deck.
And have a different kind of fun.


CrAACK



"…. Nice", the youth mumbled to himself with a mischievous grin. Eyeing a pretty woman's pottery collection idling on the street- abandoned in haste by the owner once Naire came her way.

Ah, It felt so good to be noticed, maybe even welcomed, but it felt even better to be feared. Everyone respected the tyrant's sword, but Blackbeard's true fear came from his absolutely heinous reputation. Thereby, The captain's name became a synonym for dread. And since being apart of Blackbeard's gang, Naire was happily contributing to such dread.

Naire trailed behind Blackbeard and his more prominent crewmates, sticking to the corners of the square as they walked briskly through the township. Blackbeard made some sort of announcement about …. Something somethingsomewhere... or other. It didn't matter. Naire only knew they were headed toward the docks.

While the Captain walked ahead, his underlings 'helped' themselves to this or that, him or her, as they traversed through the quaint seaside town. The square was quickly became a ghost town. The sounds of the mobs frantically fleeing had diminished to hushed and concealed whimpers... Naire's coworkers quickly looted; grabbing food, jewelry, and anything expensive looking on display. They quickly shoved these items into sacks or their own pockets and hustled to catch up with Blackbeard's main entourage of feckless killers.
Naire would come behind said looters and smash the person's dumb little stands. And if there was time (Naire always made the time), for those who didn't run... He would smash their dumb little faces. The young lad held a bronze club that was riddled with brain matter, food, and wood splints.
Smashing the abandoned clay pots and vases created a satisfying mosaic on the cobblestone ground.


"Boy! 'Ere ya deaf? Come on!"

Naire snapped his head to the voice calling him, one of the crew was shouting at him to not lag far behind.
Naire nodded, "Aye!" and quickly jogged over to catch up. "What's the big rush?" He whispered to an older deck hand.

"Blackbeard has business at the Docks. Weren't you listen'n boy?"

"Uh…" Naire's dark eyes wandered off, trying to think of a decent response; "yeah- … But he didn't say whatfor?..." Did he?
Naire asked, his tone sounding somewhat bored. "The dock isn't going anywhere.."

"It's not the dock, scat. It's the who atta dock. Clean yer ears before you get yourself inna trouble."

Naire sighed, "yes… sir." Gratefully, this seemed to satisfy the older deck hand and tied a knot in the conversation.
Although, Naire wished to ask one more question;
'So will there be stuff to smash or not?'



Ooc: Akemi- the doctor is on Blackbeard's boat. My plan is to have Akemi join the action if someone sends for her.
My chars Sophie (servant to Madam) and Madam (fungirl) will stay out of the confrontation. They'll probably get off the boat to pursue their own interests- as in shopping or sight sea. Sophie might run off to fetch some things for Madam.. Sophie may get curious and try to find out what's all the commotion. Depends how the story goes. Haha I'm pretty open
Let me know if my post sucks raven. U can tell me here or in DM.

I was thinking of having Akemi run into Wiki's Houshou crew as well. Maybe while out getting supplies, she runs into Marine drinking at a bar? (i read back that Marine wanted a drink? I'm assuming that means, Marine is heading to a bar haha. Akemi loves to drink. And so she ends joining Marine, thinking she maybe good to get information from, but actually enjoying the girl's company (although a little eccentric and akemi thinks she's too young to be a captain. Akemi would like her positivity and confidence haha!)
 
Zik could feel the presence of Blackbeard and his crew getting closer, and one of them hung back a little before rushing back to join. That one in particular seemed to have a violent aura attached to it just like Blackbeard. Sure they all had hostile intentions, but Blackbeard and the other stood out. "Definitely not good." He was torn though on turning back to warn Lucky, or continue forth to investigate the familiar aura.. because even one more person on their side would help.

He decided to push forward.. he had ways of letting Lucky know what is happening. It wouldn't take long for him to cross Blackbeard's path.. he had to hurry. To his right were the hostile crew, behind him Lucky and the crew, left had more stalls and shops, and straight ahead would lead him to where he wanted to go.. but the timing would still set him to meet Blackbeard. That man was not forgiving of people who escaped his wrath, and seeing Zik still alive would certainly deter his course for a moment. "Hmm.." He drug addled mind took a moment to catch up. He made his decision.

As he approached the intersection of the port, he could already see the hulking man. Instead of running and hiding like most people, Zik climbed up on a stall hoping Lucky could still see him, or Aidan.. anybody. He quickly made a headcount of who was walking this way, and preceded to whistle as loud as he could that amount. Then before he could be seen he hopped back down and ducked behind another stall.

As the crew began to pass, he came out, grabbing some food as well. He launched a rotten apple at Blackbeard himself, " 'ey! Remember me Blackbeard?! Ya giant ole fuck!"

That certainly got his attention, and when the man turned to face Zik, Zik didn't falter. Instead he smiled, and launched another rotten fruit at his face. "Catch me if ya can ya prick!" And he took off running towards the familiar aura. The closer he got to it, the more familiar it seemed, and if this is who he thought it was, they could really turn the tide of this confrontation.

------

Bones sat still, quiet. Just biding his time. They hadn't taken too long to dock, but his captors had left him alone for the moment. To be honest, he probably could just walk off the boat and be fine, but he didn't want to just take that chance. He could hear yelling in the distance, and knew Blackbeard must be nearby. He grabbed the hilt of his axe, just in case. Not out of fear, but to be ready.
 
The shuffling mass of bodies that was Blackbeards crew walked through the town without a care. The men walking along the gaint man that seemed to suck in fear as if he was a black hole that drew in death around him. The men laughed and carried on not even trying to be quiet about what they were doing. Why would they? They figure that had numbers and might against a small upstart crew that just got lucky to survive the first time. So thet pillaged any buildings in their path or killed and robbed the unfortunate they ran into.

Blackbeard walked as if was a morning stroll his large sword in hand as he looked forward to port. His thoughts were cut off by squabbling though. He looked back with a snarl and glare. " Stop with your squawking you bootless Cravens!" He barked a loud. " I don't put up with no useless babes in my crew you either kill or be killed." That was a threat for the coming battle and from him. He wasn't one to hesitate killing cowards or useless men from his rank, it's part why others feared and respected him. Really he didn't care for his men, they either helped cut down the fodder in front of him or be cut down like fodder by people trying to reach him. He only cared for Riches and the occasional women that could handle his violent treatment.

He felt a rotten fruit hit him and made him stop. The crowd stopped and stared like a storm was approaching as they wondered. Who would dare insult Blackbeard. He turned around face red and terrifying at the sound. Zik?! He was alive too? Oh this was a day of payback as he killed every straggler that dared to stick around instead of going to shore. " What are you doing you witless dog's! Go after the man and if you bring his head I'll reward you greatly" Black beard shouted before the men jumped and ran after the pirate effectively splitting some of group but no Zik was one against many.

Meanwhile Raven stood on his ship sword at ready as he rushed men finish unloading and get in defensive position. He made it clear that no one plays hero today and runs to meet the dread gaint. No, they would clash here and use the ship as an advantage if black beard didn't have his in the waiting. He could see his ship moral was tanking and looked to Doubloons up in the nest hoping they knew to keep moral going with thier gift once the clash happened. He heard a whistle and saw Zik waving arms,he tried to shake his head no but he saw his friend cuase a distraction and run. Well it split the emeny as some ran to chase him but the odds were still against him. Lucky drew his pistol and kept sight on the crowd.
