Prompts

Prompt 1

You have been assigned to the mightiest ship the world has ever seen. However, it appears that the Captain has a strong dislike of you. Despite being assigned to this ship by a powerful entity, the Captain has you doing grunt work like a common brat. The more senior officers have shown that they do not approve of the Captain's choices.

The senior officers have approached you, and have begun talking about starting a mutiny. If you follow along, they have promised you a higher rank in the crew, and the respect that you deserve. What do you do, join with the senior officers and overthrow the Captain, or inform him of their plans, even though he treats you like scum?

Prompt 2

Three Navy ships have been spotted by the lookouts, and the Captain decides to attack them! Orders have been given to ready for battle, and be prepared to risk everything to destroy the blue coated bastards. Cannon fire has begun, and the rest of the crew lies in wait, their weapons drawn, and their bodies trembling.

The first two ships draw beside your ship, and the enemy has begun to invade. Your fellow crewmates have leaped into combat and are quickly being overwhelmed by the enemy. You notice a path to the edge of the ship, which you could use to dive into the ocean. So what do you decide, take part in the combat that will probably cost your very life, or take the coward's way out and dive into the blue waters below?

Prompt 3

Your prized blade was stolen! Since you have been on the ship for the past two months, and the ship hasn't stopped at a port for that whole time, it had to be one of your fellow crewmates. You have been snooping around, and found reasons to believe that the one who did it was the First Mate! You have talked it over with the Captain, and he went to speak with the suspected thief. However, when the First Mate denied knowing anything about the theft, the Captain let it go.

It seems if anything is going to get done, you will have to take it into your own hands. A few days after talking with the Captain, and the First Mate lying through his gritty teeth, you noticed that the First Mate's cabin door was wide open, and he was off talking to a Deckhand. You sneak into his room, and quickly find your blade. However, not even five minutes after entering the room, the First Mate enters and brandishes his sword at you. What do you do, use your recovered blade to fight the First Mate, or try and weasel your way out of it with words?
