-The Mythics RP-

Uhhh... who is going next? @RDchicken99?
That's what I'm thinking. Jintao spoke to her in my last post and nobody else has said anything.
Jintao opened his mouth a little, allowing his tongue to slide through his teeth. Humor at a time like this was not expected. He felt cheated by it, then again, he had seen his last Captain laugh in moments uncalled for. Perhaps it was the sign of nervousness or the fear of death feeling like foolishness. Whether it was either, he could never quite understand it and never desired to.
"A deathwish? No," he glanced at Ember. Her posture had changed, which he hoped was a good thing. "Impressed is more like it. She bore enough self control to not set him ablaze so I believe she had enough left over to not pull the trigger."
Jintao looked at Gecko. The Harpy was sulking in the shadows with the terror still in his expression. Gecko kept his stare on the Hybrid with hidden tremors raking his body.
"Unfortunately," Jintao returned his focus on the Captain, "I wouldn't have hesitated with a blade. Someone dishonoring the higher rank in that way usually isn't classified as 'innocent.'"
The Harpy eyes met his as he said his last words. Gecko sat down behind the barrels, his fear further showing. Jintao gave a slight nod. Driving a crew to order with fear was what he was used to and Gecko was proving to be his first victim.

"I will be looking forward to meeting the new crew," Jintao said. "I'm assuming they are much more experienced than a few of us here, correct?"

Ember's lips parted slightly in shock. She stared blankly at the human, occasionally allowing a brief glance to the Captain.
Impressed?
For once, she was robbed of words, her usual blunt manner withdrawing with the surprise of the events unfolding, and leaving a dry, emotionless expression behind.

(She's too stunned right now to really do anything, all I can do for now is RP her reaction and follow along to everyone else's stuff 😭 )
I can’t believe some people here got promoted purely on first impressions, thought Coal. The human man did seem like he might know what he was doing, and if the Siren had not proved that she knew what she was doing, she had done nothing to prove she didn’t, and besides, she was a Siren, and that had to count for something on a ship.
But Ember acted on dangerous impulse, and Coal had followed her on board, and she had done nothing to prove her worthiness as a pirate save her grit. Yet she acted like these words that the captain had bestowed upon her, “Quartermistress” somehow deserved respect after not even 24 hours of service. Words were wothless. What about actions?
He had many more thoughts along the same lines. All of his excitement about meeting his sister had turned bitter, and in his disappointment he disliked her more than he would have a stranger.
He wasn’t about to speak up though. He’d had so many guns pointed in his direction that day that he came to the conclusion that any word out of his mouth was insubordination.
He was quickly learning that perhaps submission was best.

Vhanya could respect Jintao’s methods of enforcing order. But she couldn’t ignore how her stomach churned at the thought of blood- and therefore a corpse, on her ship. Her discomfort was hid as best as she was able with a brief nod of approval to her first mate.

She then took the opportunity to informally introduce the rest of her future crew.
“They serve the Meredith, a well-seen crew, that lot. Their captain is Cyrus Bailey- a close friend of mine, he’ll act as my surgeon while aboard the ‘Silver.

Ember took a moment to refocus herself, slowly drawing a hand through the strands of black and auburn hair framing and curling over her face. She slowly lifted her gaze back to the captain, shoving the unruly thoughts to the corners of her mind to be sorted later.
"And you said they were arriving at Sunset," she said somewhat quietly, still shaking the tension of the incident from her train of thought.
"I'll make sure to take record of the crew when they arrive. Speaking of, the Werewolf is still waiting to be summoned."
Ember dropped her arm back to her side, slowly glancing down to the log book resting on the furnished deck boards. She had barely noticed herself drop it when the Harpy had grabbed hold of her.
She also wanted to wait until the attention was a bit more drawn away from her before she stooped to pick it up.

(Oh I was just picturing it black and cardinal red for all this time I need to remake my mental image)
(ehh, like a very red orange. The cardinal red is more in the feathers. Which is why I picked the AI pic for the archives because the colors are pretty accurate, except her eyes are just a touch on the rusty side.)

"A surgeon Captain, now that's the first time I've heard of one of those," Jintao stuck hand in his pocket with satisfaction. "I look forward to meeting him." Without even meeting this 'Bailey,' he knew the man was worthy of respect. Surgeons were some of the most important members aboard a ship, and for one to become Captain, he had more than proved himself.

I'm gonna chicken out if I don't just put this here already 😭 I'm gonna say don't expect anything else from me anytime this week but this is me actually making some kind of commitment 😭

I don't really know who this is but she seems cool, I guess I'll figure her out as we go 🥲

Name: Solus
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Species: Aqrabaumelu
Physical Appearance: Fairly tall and thin typical teenage girl (I don’t know!) Dark brown straight hair that comes just below her shoulders. Lightly tanned skin. Her tail is thin and scorpion looking, a colour that matches her hair but with streaks of black. For the occasional times she chooses to be around other people and has to hide her identity she uses a simple non hooded cloak (she prefers her tail to be free to use at any given moment) and gloves.
Personality: Sol's true personality is kinda sweet and kind. But because of the circumstances of her life her first instinct has become to be on the defence, resulting in being extremely slow to trust. Due to her solitary life, when around others she can often be somewhat absent minded, two years living alone in a world she’s been told is out to kill her probably did some things to her mind… Relies on her tail before any other weapon or skill she may have.
Backstory (optional): I only know bits and pieces rn...
I have no idea what I'm doing but... 🎶 If you don't try then you might never know 🎶
I'm going to bed now or I won't shut up.
