❝pirates and merfolk❞

pirates;
some are good, some are bad. one's thing for sure, there's a lot of them. good pirates often travel to villages to rest and trade in goods and fish they've caught on their journey, while others aren't as kind. the bad pirates are feared throughout the land. people pray that they never encounter them. when they arrive to villages, they usually take whatever they see as valuable, rarely giving something in return. they're filthy rich, stealing from both villages and other pirates.

there are other things that travel at sea, though they'd rather swim. there's an old tale and they're known as merpeople, rarely spotted and passed down generations as a legend and myths. people hope to spot one while down by the ocean, but rarely ever do. only two or three of out of a village's population actually get to see a real merpeople once in their life, but even then they're not always believed.

it's rumoured that merpeople can turn their tails into kegs and pretend to be villagers, and that some of them are secretly hiding within the village population.

most pirates believe in the tale of merpeople, and try their best to spot one at sea. while some want to innocently say hello, and prove that the myths are actually true, others have worse intentions. they intend to capture one as soon as they find it, and sell it for gold, or worse.

scenarios;

› you were a merperson, and were currently swiming through the ocean. you saw something above the surface and decided to carefully approach it. some pirates were trying to catch some fish, though, you got caught in their net instead.
( or vice versa )

› ( crush ) / oc is a pirate, a good one, visiting a local village with their crew to drop off some goods and do a bit of trading with the locals. they couldn't help but overhear some townfolk talk amongst themselves about merpeople, and they became curious. ( this scenario, oc / crush is a merfolk hiding as a human in the village )

› you were on the good/bad side of the pirate life and ( crush ) was on the other. the two of you had crossed paths a few times and your ships often collided. of course, having different views, your crews could never get along. two weeks later after your last encounter with them, your crew stopped by at a village, and you happened to be visiting at the same time as ( crush ), who had wandered away from their crew and bumped into you.
* oc / crush can be a merfolk as well as a pirate

› during a long, stormy night, struggling to save your crew mates from falling off the ship, that's exactly what happened to you. when you woke up on dry land, you heard a voice. "oh, you're awake!"
( or vice versa )

› you were friends with a merperson, maybe even fell in love, which is why you were protecting them at this very moment, despite having an entire crew up against you. they wanted to capture ( crush ), for whatever reason. you had no weapons against theirs, and all you could do was stand in front of ( crush ) and pledge to protect them no matter what.
( or vice versa )

› when you were a kid, you had been rescued by a merperson. when you asked for their name, they just swam away. no one believed you, and so you grew up to become a pirate in order to sail the seas to one day find them again. and finally, the day came that you did.
( or vice versa )

› one evening, you carelessly decided to follow ( crush ) to wherever they were wandering off to so late. they stopped at the ocean, you were caught off guard when they started undressing. were they seriously going for a late night swim? then, they dived in, and when they rose back up to the surface, they had a tail that glimmered under the moonlight.
( or vice versa )
