You're scrolling through the charity and quest section of gaia when the smell of salt water enters your nose. Curious you follow the scent and eventually find yourself upon a large vessel. There's a pirate flag rusting in the wind and you swallow hard, hand gripping your wallet tight. Turning to exit the way you came two men block the way pointing their fingers towards the cabin. "You must meet with the Captain, she's located in there" says the strapping young man.
You smile, relieved hearing that it's a woman, but such relief is fleeting as the other man, the one with a sparrow tattooed to his arm is heard muttering, "Yeah, the captain... I was the captain! Captain Jack Sparrow! Damn woman commendeering my ship" You look back at him confused. "Commendeer, nautical term" he says with a shake of his head.
You cross the wooden planks and enter the dimly lit cabin, soft carpet meets your feet as the door closes behind you. You notice that there's a faint smell of incense as you move farther inside the room. You're eyes adjust and you notice that a woman is sitting in a chair behind a large desk, a map behind her. The map does not show the seas that she has travelled but rather the various items she has attained and plans to aquire.
"Welcome to the Black Pearl, I be the Captain. You may call me Beppo or Bep as you deem fit. Please, take a seat, have an apple" she grins and leans back, waiting for you to do as instructed. Once in the chair she looks you over, "Not a sea faring person I assume, another land lubber you be eh?" she asks, her small gold key-shaped earring dangling from her exposed lobe.
You nod your head slightly, "Ah I see, well I be looking for a crew to keep me company and to keep the ship a float. Guess we'll just have to be doing it without your help. You be free to leave, but if you don't mind bumping on your way out, it'd be greatly appreciated. 'Course ye be welcome any time, especially if it's to chat. All I get to listen to is 'Elizabeth' this, 'Kraken' that, 'Davey Jones' this, 'Rum' that" she shakes her head and rolls her eyes.
You chuckle as you walk out the door, the sun hitting your eyes, and you raise your arm to block it out while they adjust to the bright light. The two men who were blocking the plank have moved on to other things, the younger one looking out to see with binoculors, while the older one stumbles around muttering something about rum.
As you exit the plank you see a small poll, entering your response and clicking vote, you turn to leave when the sound of clinking coins catches your ear. Ten wonderful gold pieces await to be picked up. You pocket the money and smile, as you exit back into the charities and quests forum.

Alright, so that was my little introductory story, I do hope you enjoyed it. I kinda write in my spare time, it's the only artistic ability that I have. Should you like to commison me for a story I'd more then happily write you one. i've done a total of three so far, including this one. The other that you can see is for the Charity that I am co-Owner of, it's the fox head charity banner in my affiliates post should you want to look at it.
Ok, so now, a little about me. I'm 23 years old -not that you can really tell as we all look to be the same age here- and have been an active member for over a year now. I've over 17,000 post on gaia and a love to role play, actually, if you are part of, or know of a literate role play please let me know and I will be more then happy to look at it
I've made many friends on here and hope to make many more though not just random friends, people who've I had a good conversation with.
I'm from Canada, born and raised, and am attending the University of Toronto in Scarborough. I have a dog, named Kia -named before the car company I swear!- and a twin brother who I also count as a pet.
Ummm... not sure what else to tell you, but I will answer most questions you have, so please make yourself at home.
