Raiding is the Most Fun a Pirate Can Have Without Kidnapping From the Empire
Raid Meeting

Trying to get this over mostly! Posts due July 16th! Must post here to raid! Raid will start July 18th or later!
Hanako had just been settled and Friar took to grooming Sparrow while she stewed for a while. This would only end with the empire up their asses even further than the sticks they themselves had up their butts. Sparrow couldn’t wallow in her own misery forever. In fact, she needed to blow off some steam. She had known a beautifully ghost woman who said she could raid for some lava rocks and she was keen to take them up on that. Tilting her head back, Sparrow called to the pack. This was not an optional meeting, but she promised to keep it brief. As the others arrived, Sparrow would greet them in turn as they arrived. When everyone was seated, she’d waste no time in starting her meeting. ”Welcome back together, everyone. I’ve got a few things to announce.” She took a big breath. She always hated meetings, and wanted to keep her own as short as possible. ”First, Modesty and Pride have had a litter! For anyone out of the loop, Gilgamesh has been dubbed our pride, and we encourage everyone to call him that.” It was her best alpha voice, really. She didn’t even snicker or make any side jokes, though a smile remained on her maw. “Next is that I stole Hanako from the barn that used to be Fireside’s. This will only ever reflect poorly on us, so be prepared for that when the time comes. I welcome you all to give her a good hearty welcome, but she is not to leave the room unless I’m asked, and none of you-“ Sparrow paused to get serious, eying everyone equally… well, maybe she eyes Pyra slightly longer than everyone else. ”Not a single one of you will bring harm to her. She is as good as a guest, but yanno, a captive. Yes she was my ex-girlfriend, and yes kidnapping your ex probably isn’t the best way to make amends, but what can you do? I’ll try to have a better room set up for captives in the future, but for now she’s staying in my room with Friar as her keeper.” Well that was the worst out of the way. Now for the fun part… ”Last is that we’re gonna raid Recluse’s pack and try to get some of those cool lava rocks, or even a bucket of lava if any of y’all are dumb enough to try it. We’ll go before the season changes. Healers and pups can stay here with Hanako.” Good, gg, meeting over. Sparrow took a long breath. ”Okay, any protests, questions, cries for help?” |
Sparrow has a female Harlequin Macaw named Pongolo and a male Capuchin monkey named Friar, and a hairless mushroom tuxedo cat named Beef Sandwich. She also has cat claws... and some weird leg spike things.

A meeting was to be held, and Eden would be one of the first to arrive. She sat at the back, unaccustomed to large gatherings. It'd take some time to get used to. Pirate King Sparrow proclaimed she had kidnapped Hanako, keeping her here against her will but not to harm her. While the green-tinted woman didn't know how that would bode - most likely negatively, let's be honest - she wasn't very invested in the Plunder.
Sparrow went on to say they'd be raiding a pack, Recluse lead, and Eden didn't know who that was. Healers could stay back Sparrow also said, and Eden breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't have anything to add that was... important, but she felt herself rise to her full tiny height - for what it was worth. "I-If anyone wants to learn some basic first aid before the raid... or wants to be trained... I can teach them."
Ignis and her hadn't been properly introduced to some. While her captor was physical-aligned, Eden was on the softer side. She was by no means a teacher, but she could at least identify plants and set wounds. "And if anyone needs a check or an old wound to be treated; I can look." Her piece said she sat back down among the growing crowd.

I'm Trying to Find A Signal Fire
Pyralis rolled over in her den and groaned. She had a splitting headache, probably from over indulging in wine in addition to the medicine for her shoulder. The shoulder was healing well enough. Her older body took time to improve but havign healers in the pack now greatly improved the recovery time. She made note to pay Gossamer back but it was clear she needed to work on her own skills. Despite being older and more experienced her body was not what it once was. She'd have to learn to fight smarter and not be so swift to use her body as a battering ram.
Speaking of Sparrow called out for a meeting and Pyr had a pretty good idea what might be on the agenda. She rolled slowly to her feet then headed to the meeting site at the caverns. She nodded her head in greeting before sitting down. Sparrow ran through the news of pups and of Hana's objection. She returned Sparrow's stare with a grin. She was eager to see the koi woman and had no intention of hurting her, merely seeing if she could sneak another kiss.
The final bit of news was a raid. Pyralis let out a cheer. It was likely to be her last raid and there was something about raiding the volcano pack that thrilled her. Maybe she could find some pretty gems there that would be worth stealing.
Her attention turned to Eden as the healer spoke. "If you could check my shoulder and give me something more for the lingering pain that would be great. I fully intend to join this raid as its very likely going to be my last. Come hell or high water I want to be there."
Please note that Pyralis is a ghost. It is up to you to decide what level your chars can see/hear her. She was killed by having her throat ripped apart. At times the wound may be visible and be actively bleeding.

This cutthroat savage stands accused though not convicted of heinous crimes including murder, maiming, brawling, cursing, kidnapping and an unspeakable event involving a newt, two coyotes and a distressed potoo.

The call that resounded through the air sounded like one of Sparrow's. It was a howl that would not go ignored. Curious, the merle'd brute rose from his spot among the puppies, gave Modesty a light kiss upon her forehead, then headed in the direction of the meeting. As of late, he had grown to worry more about his fiance than anything. It was a lot to look after puppies by yourself when your other half was too sad to leave the den. He understood and wouldn't push her on it, but hoped maybe she'd find the energy to at least attend the meeting.
Making his way with quick steps, it didn't take long for him to spy the three already there. Nodding with a smile toward Sparrow and Pyralis, he glanced at Eden last. Looking timid as ever, he dipped his chin in her direction but had lost the smile. Might as well keep up the image. Taking a seat by Pyralis and Sparrow, he waited for the meeting to commence. The sore but healing ankle was lifted slightly, with no pressure on it. Truthfully, it had started to feel better since the small healer girl had helped. Hopefully, he would be back to full health by the time they raided.
Speaking of, both ears turned to Sparrow as she began to speak. He would only smile at the shared news of his rank and pups - the real celebrating could happen at a better time. When it got to the business about their new prisoner, Gil met Sparrow's look with a nonchalant 'ya okay whatever you say, boss' type of expression. Unlike other Pirates, he had no business even getting close to touching the koi girl. Just wanted to pester her enough to get a rise out of her.
With that all being said and done, Gil's attention was caught once more as Sparrow moved to discuss the raid. Habari, huh? Not a very outgoing pack from what he knew about them - which was very little. He could use some of the sharp volcano rocks as spear tips though... It was an interesting thought and the excitement and anticipation began to build. "Can't wait," Gil said, a smile curling at the edge of his lips as he sat back to listen to what the other had to say.

He was settling into the pack pretty well. While it wasn't Fireside or Tyrian or Valentine or whoever, Sparrow was just as good. At least in the sense that things were still interesting. Maybe it was just a thing in their family. Whatever the case, he heard Sparrow's call and made his way to the meeting and found a handful of others already gathered. Ares sauntered in among them, offering nods to each before turning his attention to Sparrow. She started off by mentioning some pups, a member rank who he had yet to meet, and some juicy tidbit about someone named Hanako that she had stolen. He didn't know who Hanako was, but from the sounds of it, the pack was likely going to be in for a ride at some point. He was always one for drama (then again, his whole family loved drama!).
At the mention of raiding a pack he knew existed but never saw anything noteworthy from them, he practically wanted to prance in place. He was eager and ready for a raid! "Count me in, cuz!"

Things in this pack were...interesting. Though he was still settling in and getting used to how things worked around here, but so far, he had no complaints. He was also getting used to Eden's presence...then again, he had forced her to come here. He was still trying to figure her out...but perhaps in time, he eventually would. He was setting up his den when he heard Sparrow call for a meeting, so he stopped what he was doing and headed over. When he arrived, he noted that a few others were already there, Eden especially. He moved into the group and sat near here, though he did so without invading her personal space. He barely spared her a glance when Sparrow started speaking. Pups. Someone's rank. Stealing her ex-girlfriend. Huh...Hanako sounded familiar, but he hadn't seen her yet so he couldn't place a name to a face right now. And then...a raid. Ah, Recluse? That was the she-wolf he had...well...some late night fun with not so long ago. A small smirk lifted the corners of his dark lips. He was itching to fight, and a raid was the perfect opportunity to do just that! "Speech" |
