Mythical Seas (Rewrite)

Chapter One

[Season 7, Shopping District]

"HELLO EVERYONE!"

Jumping at the sudden introduction, every Hermit wildly looked around for the source of the voice. There were no speakers in sight, nor did there seem to be anyone with the unrecognizable voice around.

"Oh- Heh, oops. Too much, my apologies. Anyways, prepare to be teleported in a few minutes! Do me a favour and don't panic."

A few people exchanged anxious or excited looks.

"Who was that?"

"Ooh~ This is gonna be fun!"

POOF.

"wHOA-"

"What the-?!"

Everyone looked around at the new environment, startled by the sudden shift. They seemed to be in what could be the lower deck of a ship, where the crew would sleep (judging by all the hammocks). Near the exit, standing on the stairs, was... a pirate? A young one at that- they couldn't have been older than twenty, even with the white streak in their brown hair.

"Hallo! Can I have your attention please? Doesn't have to be undivided, I know you all tend to have wandering minds." They joked a little, looking over the group. All of them stared at the brunette pirate in bewilderment.

Bdubs spoke up first. "Who the heck are you?!"

"I'll get to that, Bdubs, just give me a moment." The stranger answered, giving the builder an off-handed wave as Bdubs opened his mouth again to ask how they knew his name. "Welcome to Mythical Seas! Is everyone feeling okay? I know teleportation, especially mine, can make people feel a bit queasy if they're not used to it."

Exchanging confused looks, most people nodded.

"I feel fine."

"All good here?"

"No queasification here."

Chuckling at the last comment, the pirate adjusted their hat with a grin. "Good, good! I'm glad that so many people signed up, I really didn't expect this many. Alas, the more, the merrier, eh?"

A few Hermits gave small laughs and nodded.

"But, I don't think you're all here to listen to me toot my own horn. This is going to be the home of one of the teams for the majority of the game! Tomorrow, a lucky Hermit gets to name it whatever they want! There are going to be three teams: the Sailors, the Sirens, and the Merpeople! I'll explain the rest tomorrow. For now, feel free to wander around and get familiar with the ship, because no matter which team you're gonna be on, it's important to know the layout of this place."

With that, the mysterious pirate went to leave.

"Wait!" Keralis blurted out. "What's your name, sweetface?"

The pirate paused, staring at the wide-eyed builder before giving a small laugh. "Right, you probably want to know that. Name's Marra. Captain Marra, if you wanna be formal about it."

POOF.

Then they were gone.

For a moment, all of them were pretty quiet. Until Mumbo went to step forward, tripped, and knocked over xB... who knocked over Hypno... who knocked over Jevin... and then Wels...

I think you get the point, it became a domino effect. Next thing you know, everyone was on the floor.

"Ow..." Zed laughed as Bdubs gave a squeal.

"i'M bEiNg sQuiShEd-"

"You're fine-"

"EASY FOR YOU TO SAY-"

Impulse coughed and wheezed out, "He's got a point-"

"Okay, everyone get off before someone dies before the game even starts!"

And that's how it started: everyone laughing and joking around as they got used to the rocking of the ship and the smell of the ocean. Not a bad start, if I do say so myself ;>

Whoo! :D
