☸️Pirates Smp: A Pesky Ghost☸️

'Meow'
Martyn blinked a few times, did he fall asleep on the sofa again?
'Meow'
He glanced at his lap, finding Jellie on his lap was staring up at him.
"Hey. . . Uh, Jellie. . ."
Martyn pats her, she leaned his hand and purred.
Bang!
Martyn jumped, Kyle coming up from the kitchen as they turned to the stairs.
Scar had stumbled down,"Sorry, Sorry!", "What a way to start the day.", Kyle went back to cooking food with Sausage that had merely glanced behind him unable to leave the stove.
Scar straightened up, he seemed shaken up and tired.
"Ah Jellie, there you are. She hasn't scratched you or caused you any trouble?"
Martyn shook her head,"Nope, I think I fell asleep on the couch and just decided my lap was her bed for the night.", "Yeah. . .", Jellie jumped into Scar's arms, purring and settling in his arms.
"Uhm. . . Guys? By chance if any of you were awake last night, were any of you walking around, knocking or scratching my door?"
The Kestrels looked at one another, confused as either someone would have to be pulling a prank on Scar or sleepwalking.
"Uhm, sorry Scar. Unless any of us have sleepwalking issues or out to prank you, but we haven't from our knowledge."
Scar let go of a breath,"O-Oh. . . Just checking.", he seemed shaken up by something.
Martyn then walked upstairs, to investigate this as he wanted to be eliminate any threat as quickly as possible.

Scar's door did seemed to have some scratches but no sign of force entry.
"Maybe it's some dream? Or your imagination??"
"Maybe, maybe. . ."
Scar definitely seemed shaken up, there Martyn did also noticed the floor seemed a little damp like someone didn't dry off before coming in.

It was a completely normal day for Island.
Doing quests, updating their ships, relaxing and socialising with the other fractions.
Martyn still didn't trust that purple creature, if it came from the same island with that corruption that possibly killed Aimsey.

Scott and Acho have been on good terms, Scott was very proud that Acho was safe from Bekyamon after she tried to kill him for the Bounty Hall money.
Though why was that a thing on the Island?
"Hey, Martyn!"
"Hey; Nice dog."
"Thanks, his name is Dipper."
Martyn knelt down and pet him, the dog was pretty cute and definitely more trusty then that purple-
"Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope!"
Scar walked past them, he looked startled still and concerned for him, Acho spoke up,"Scar, is something wrong?", Scar stopped, turned around and in the light they could see he was pale and looked very tired, guess whatever was scratching the door was keeping him awake.
"I'm fine! I'm really fine! I just- I didn't- I uhm!"
His eyes were darting around them, Scott frowned,"You don't have a bounty on your head? Is someone following you??", Scar gulped, Jellie jumped off him and circled around Scar.
"I just- I just need to get something, I think it's just the lack of sleep. . .!"
Scar then ran off, Jellie turning to them as they stared after Scar in concern.
Then they turned to Jellie,"You have a clue what's up with him?", Jellie then turned, they followed her gaze and it was at the Kestrels Home.
. . .
"The house?"
They could see a very silhouettes walking past Windows or just seemly staring out the window.
'Meow'
They turned to Jellie, who then ran off to go find Scar.
"What was that about?"
"Cats confuse me, they always stare at something that isn't there and freak me out."
Martyn, Scott and Acho looked at one another, confused and a little concerned for Scar.
"Maybe I'll see what happens tonight."
"Maybe. . ."

That night, Martyn stayed up and not like he could sleep with quests, his mission and that corruption playing over and over in his head.
Creak
Martyn looked up.
Time to see what is going on.
Martyn crept up the stairs, slowly and steadily to not draw attention to himself or scare off the culprit.

You know those stories of ghost pirates or vengeful spirits coming back fo haunt someone or haunting the place they died?
Well to Martyn's shock, standing outside of Scar's door knocking and scratching, was a transparent person that looked to be drenched, skin almost blue from possibly the cold and when their mouth was open even just a gap water poured out of their mouth.
Guess that explained the damp floor if these pirates believed in ghosts-
"LEAVE ME ALONE!!"
Scar burst out of his room, eyes full of fear as he sprinted, knocking Martyn down the stairs as he ran into the night.
"I'M SORRY!!"
Martyn could hear the others waking up, coming out confused.
"Martyn?! What happened?!?"
"Ow. . . Something scared Scar. . ."
Pesky Ghost. . .
Martyn was helped to the couch to check for a head injury.
"Where did Scar run too, why was he screaming?"
"I'm not sure. . . He just burst out of his screaming, yelling an apology and to leave him alone."
That ghost did look a little familiar. . . Like a Pesky bird he had known before.
What? Has he gotta call him Pesky Ghost in this world?
