Sail the Seas (Pirate RP Needs Members!)

Emerald nodded. "Aye aye cap'n." she replied and grabbed a small piece of cloth from around her wrist. She tied her brown curls back into a pony tail before walking over to the crank that let down the anchor. After taking in a deep breath, she pushed forward with all her might, turning the crank and lowering the anchor. The sound of clinking chains filled the air as it lowered. After a few turns the pushing got easier until finally the weight of the anchor and chains let the rest spin out by itself. She felt the anchor land with a thud onto the ocean floor.

Liam opened his eyes a crack and saw the blurred figure of someone standing over her. The blacksmith tried to speak, but his teeth were chattering too hard. His clothes were soaked with cold seawater, and the chill was seeping into his bones.

Sonja glanced at Liam and Rodney, then trotted over to them and put a hand on the smith's forehead. "He's got a fever," she told the cabin boy. "Hypa- herpa- herpotherma, or whatever it's called. The freezing disease. Betty!" she turned, searching for the makeshift medic. She spotted the woman already on the shore with Indigo, and turned back to Rodney. "We'll carry him down ourselves, then."

Melody listened to the dull, muffled boom as the anchor hit the seafloor, and joined Emerald in securing the sails. "Help me with the mast spar that knocked Liam overboard. We need to secure it so it doesn't swing around and hit anyone else."

[intriguing]

Ingo and Betty managed to get Indigo onto shore. Though many said it was easier to move an unconscious person. It wasn't. They seemed dull and heavy, floppy almost as you dragged them along, not dead, definitely not, but most certainly unmanouverable. Ingo supported Indigo, and Betty went back up on to the ship.

"Need any 'elp?" she asked, getting ready to make herself useful, Rodney was doing the same.

((Writer's block. Meh. I hate hayfever))

Emerald nodded. "Alright." she said and walked over to the mast. She grabbed onto a rope and tugged it to make sure it was secure. She gripped it firmly in both hands and started climbing up. When she reached to where the mast was broken she stopped and stood on the opposite spar so she could tie another rope around her waist. Once that was done, she jumped off and dangled in the air, he feet on the mast, as she studied the damage.

Seeing as it would be dangerous for two people to be in the damaged rigging at once, Melody stayed on the deck. She walked to the other side of the mast and called to Emerald, "The sail's torn all the way through, and I can see a bit o' broken spar stickin' through on this side. What about over there? Can you find where the spar was attached before it broke loose?"

[Also, you guys, I just opened an art shop. Because I want to get publicity out about it, you can all have a free piece of art, if you want one ^^]

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Emerald looked down at Melody and listened intently. She swung herself around to the other side and looked it over. A jagged piece of wood caught her eye and she spotted where the spar had broken. "I see it!" she called down. Though she had no idea how they would put it back. "Any ideas?" she asked.

[Wildmagic_warrior]

"Tie it down, for now," called Melody. "As soon as Liam's back to health, we'll have him look at it. I don't know nothin' about woodworking, but ye'd think a blacksmith would, aye?"

Gannet came sprinting back down the path, red hair flying out of his face as he ran. Somewhere along the way he had grabbed a shirt, although it was unbuttoned and one could still see the scars on his chest. When he reached Sonja he bent over, breathing hard, and wheezed out, "Th'- mayor'll- see ye- now." He took a few more deep breaths and straightened up, adding, "Ye're to follow me, up to the town. No plundering, he says. No pillaging, murdering, or burning of things along the way. Ye ken?"

Turning back towards the ship, Sonja cupped her hands around her mouth and called, "Ahoy, mates! We're goin' to get the Cap'n to a medic! Follow yon path up 'till ye finds a village. No plundering, ye hear? We've got a treaty with 'em."

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Emerald shrugged. "He might, but let's hope so. I have a feeling these villagers won't take so kindly to strangers." she said looking off towards the land for a moment. A small breeze picked up and Emerald snapped out of the mini day dream she had been in. "Toss me a rope!" she called down and outstretched her arms.

[Wildmagic_warrior]

"Sure thing!" called Melody, thinking about what Emerald had said. She gathered a loop of rope and knotted it skillfully into a lasso, twirling it above her head for a moment before flinging it up to Emerald. "I'll feed the rest up to ye," she said, holding up the rest of the coil with her free hand. As for the village- well, it was there only hope, wasn't it? If they didn't help, Indigo would die.

[~Thor's Gurl<3~]

Emerald caught the lasso and nodded to Melody. "Send it up." she called. She put the lasso over her shoulder diagnol ways so her hands were free to get the rest of the rope. She looked off towards the village again for a moment. She was rather excited to reach land, especially after the storm they had just come out of.
