Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/5/2020 6:38:07 AM[spoiler]It's fine, whatever works for you! EDIT: You have been given another story.[/spoiler] [quote]The door falls inward, it's hinges giving way to your tentative touch. Black shadows conceal its interior.[/quote]

*Xyun heads inside.*

Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/7/2020 12:02:30 AM[spoiler]Ladies and gentlemen, the wait is over! Lord Vocem Works proudly presents...[/spoiler] [quote]The entrance gradually disappears, vanishing into darkness. Utilizing the dim light of candles, Xyun can make out the environment; A room of rotten wood, twists over one another in an unsettling fashion. Aquatic foliage peeps out from murky shadows, watching your every step. At the end of the room, under a gaping window, is a barnacle-encrusted pipe organ. Reeling in surprise, Xyan reaches for a handhold; the floor is swaying in a lulling rhythm, upsetting her balance. A sullen voice ripples from the walls. “Do you feel… [i]death?[/i]” [/quote]
-
(Sorry to not put this earlier but Xyun is actually female, sorry to not put that, she also tends to take the form of a snake, or something resembling one.) | *Xyun walks forward.* | Xyun: “Who, or what, exactly are you?”
-
[spoiler]Oh- my bad. I just edited the post to fit her gender. *slaps forehead* thanks for the heads-up![/spoiler] [quote] "I am the sea." The chamber rattles with the harsh chorus of laughter. The voice repeats itself, slower- pained. "Do... you... feel... [i]death?[/i]" [/quote]
-
Xyun: “No, though I’ll tell you if I do.”
-
[spoiler]Do you know how Davy Jone's crew looks like? If not, I'll provide images and more detail in my words![/spoiler] [quote]"How 'bout now!" Disfigured shapes emerge from the walls, raising sea-stained cutlasses. Their cursed throats intensify with laughter. [/quote]
-
(Not really, haven’t seen the films, just the LEGO game really.) | Xyun: “Okay, now you’ve made your point.”
-
Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/7/2020 1:00:06 AM[spoiler]i think the LEGO game shows them well enough- pirates that look as if they're made of the ocean's life, or the ship.[/spoiler] [quote]The organ at the end of the chamber takes up a depressing tune, played by a tentacle-bearded captain. "What if I told you... there's an escape?"[/quote]
-
Xyun: “For what price?”
-
[quote]"That's the spirit!" The one at the pipe organ, turns with a leering grin. "Ten years of service!" The encircling pirates chant in one voice. [i]Part of the ship, part of the crew...[/i][/quote]
-
*Xyun just blinks.* | Xyun: “So, you want me to join you? Fair enough, on one agreement, captain....”
-
[quote]Jarring notes burst from the pipe organ, slammed by the red claw of the captain. "And what might that be, [i]pray tell[/i]." [/quote]
-
Xyun: “The possibility of me still retaining my free will. Is that fine with you, captain?”
-
[quote]For a moment, nothing occupies her hearing save for the creaking hull. Finally, an artificial chuckle reverbs from the captain. "Free will, you say? Ayyyye, you'll still have yer free will all right..." The captain stands from his organ, towering over Xyun. "The free will to follow me every word, or have yer back torn open by the bosun!"[/quote]
-
*Xyun smiles.* | Xyun: “That seems relatively fair, though you really aren’t aware of a small, characteristic, of me. The fact that I devour souls. That might as well prove useful? If not, just cast me overboard.”
-
Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/8/2020 1:42:54 AM[quote]"Oh-hoho! Looky here lads! The little whelp is threatening to devour mine soul!" The captain laughs, then turns dead serious. "The only soul I had was cut out with my heart!" His bearded-tentacles whithers and fume in wrath. "I use to guide lost souls 'fore I enslaved 'em! You call yourself a devourer of souls- You smile in mockery- but you don't know who yer talking to- I'M DAVY JONES, THE SOULESS DEATH TO THE SOULS OF THE SEAS!!" [/quote]
-
Xyun: “You do realize that I have no intention of even harming you, and thanks for the monologue.”
-
[spoiler]Lol, every Villains' weakness: monologuing.[/spoiler] [quote]"Oh? Yet more mockery! You see that boys?" Davy Jones laughs, disappearing into the walls. His voice echoes through the ship. "Such an attitude has no place aboard this ship! Cast her to the locker!" The sea-encrusted crew brandishes their weapons with lethal intent.[/quote] [spoiler]Also, I just remembered Davy Jones has no women on his ship due to an old hatred and-in those days-women were considered bad luck aboard ship. Hopefully, Xyun can do more than devour souls?[/spoiler]
-
*Xyun pulls out two needles. Both of which are tipped with poison, the white one paralyzes its victim while the black one just causes pain.* | Xyun: “Though there is one thing I have to ask, is there anyone you want dead? Anyone specific?”
-
[quote]A pirate with a hammer-head shark for a face laughs at Xyun's "pathetic" needles. "Just you, luv'!" He swings a hatchet at her, grinning like a fool.[/quote] [spoiler]The paralyzing needle might be helpful, but I'm not too sure how the well poison would work...Because they're cursed to never die. And they can go through walls... and they can teleport in water... and they have a kraken... So yep- paralysis would be helpful about now![/spoiler]
-
*Xyun looks for a set of stairs.* | Xyun: “You lie! I know it! Your captain is scared of death, he can die, he is not immortal! I laugh at such a thing!” | *Xyun pokes him with the white needle.*

[quote]*she sees a rotten door, just behind more fishmen* Maccus contorts to its touch, stiffly falling to the ground in a senseless heap. The other crewman growl in response, their voices weaving both insults and threats. One of them, makes a swipe at her with a large fish hook, while pulling the trigger of his flintlock.[/quote]
-
*Xyun runs for the door.*
-
Edited by NinjaW/ramen: 12/9/2020 9:13:45 PM[quote]*the flintlock shoots Xyun, depleting one of her hearts. Xyun had 3 hearts left.* Xyun steps out the door, slamming it shut behind her. A seething sky and the spray of a dark ocean pelts her face with their precipitation. She's standing on the quarter deck of a withered pirate ship. The fishmen step out of the walls, cornering her to the railing of the ship. Glancing over her shoulder, Xyun sees the rollicking waves of a fuming sea.[/quote]
