Captain Teague - Roleplay

aquatic-ariel:

As she followed the captain, Ariel realized something. That he was indeed of age. Not that she minded, no, the girl found it fascinating. How one leg moved quicker than the other, the lines on his face and the veins on his hand, she found it to be...

[captain-teague-roleplay]

Teague put a old boot onto the gang plank, as he saw her reach out a hand to help him. He paled slightly, she was one of the most friendly things he’d met in a long time. He took her hand, balancing himself as he got onto the ship and got onto the deck. He gave her a slight nod as a thanks.  “Well.. We can do whatever you want to do first... Are you hungry, or tired, or any of that?” He spoke, starting to move downstairs suddenly, the crew on the ship were older males, peaceful looking men, though they were dirty and a few dead bodies..

”Captain Edward Teague?”

She had believed unnecessary to go to that Pirate…

[captainalaricewren-deactivated2]

If you could see me now

[captainalaricewren-deactivated2]

His movement, as subtle as he tried to be, didn’t go unnoticed. She hadn’t expected any less. She would have done the same, after all.

“As I did.” She replied slowly, looking hard in his eyes. They were both ruthless when they needed to be. Would he need to be now? Would they fight?

One way to find out.

“I’m your daughter.” she replied, flatly. She waited a heartbeat before continuing, trying to ignore the dizziness that was threatening to take place. “I met a witch called Elma. She said that she was there when I was born. She told me I’m your daughter.” Her hair had been gray, her eyes had gleamed and she had stayed proud in front of her. As if daring to call her a liar.

She swallowed her sudden shyness : “I think she’s telling the truth. She had no reason to lie to me.”

[captain-teague-roleplay]

He arched a brow as he looked over at her… a daughter? Now, this woman was just strange… He didn’t understand, at least, not completly. He moved over to her slowly, looking at her face, suddenly moving his hand to brush the hair out of her face, from her eyes. “n’… Y’might be, lass… Don’t remember ya’, sure enough didn’t raise ya’. Raised all the other children I had, the only other one I had.. raisin’ Ace’s and Quickdraw’s children, my nephews and neices..” he spoke, moving to brush against her slightly as he walked past her. “Might be my daughter… If so, Sorry for not rasin’ ya’, lass… Have a good night..” he spoke, so used to Jack’s ignroance of his father and what he belived to be dislike, he just started to head back to his ship, the male limping with each step.

[captainalaricewren-deactivated2]

“No need to apologize.”

The damage was already done, anyway. Would she have been younger when she had found out the truth, she might have been angry. As she was, almost hitting 40, she could understand why her parents - her mother, more exactly - would make such a choice. The world was sexist and the pirate world even more. Williams have been kind and accepting and have loved her as much as any parents would. They had wanted her to get married; but they understood that she couldn’t.

“I had a good life.” she continued. “And I don’t deal much on what it was. I prefer ‘what it is’ or ‘what’ll be’. “

She breathed deeply as she watched him turn around to leave. “I have noticed already I have a hell of a twin-brother. I had wanted to see the father.”

She still did, but she kept her request to herself. Maybe she was too proud, maybe she was scared, maybe she was too cautious.

She had not said goodbye yet. She would have liked not to say it so soon, but she knew that more often than not, life didn’t go the way she wanted.

[captain-teague-roleplay]

“Yeah.. The boy’s a hell raiser, alright… Real bad at that.” Teague spoke, slowly coming to a stop but choosing not to face her. “Ya’ shoulden’t o came, lookin’ for me. I ain’t anything you should try to trace your roots down ta’, lass…” He spoke, letting out a sigh as he shoved his hands back into his pockets, leaning on his “good” leg. “You saw me…. What else do you want?” He spoke, turning around to where one eye was looking at her. “Ya’ wanna come on the ship or something, meet the rest of the family, the idiots who try to kill anythin’ that moves, the liars, the fuckin’ Sparrows?” He spoke, turning around and looking at his ship in the distance. “Follow me, then… Or else, goodbye, and Again, sorry I was a runaway dad or whatever..” he spoke, starting to walk again. He had these mixed emotions of ‘This is your daughter, love her’ and ‘You haven’t been there her whole life, she dosen’t need you’ kind of feelings that just tore him apart.

[captainalaricewren-deactivated2]

“Father.” she said uncertainly, but continued fastly, not allowing either of them to dwell on the word for too long. “I am a pirate. It is something I consciously chose, when I was 17. I have been a captain of the ship for over a decade. I have had plenty of crews. I have led them to death and treasures. I have killed and I have been in danger to be killed. People have tried to poison me, to stab me, they said pretty words then locked me up. Being a pirate is a dangerous affair - I think it runs in family. I have long gone past the time when I could be afraid of pirates. And if I die now, well..” She raised her shoulders and arms to show that she really didn’t care what could happen. “It’s not like I’m not supposed to, somehow.”

She went to him. She didn’t hug him, she didn’t touch him. She didn’t even smile. Most smiles these days were malicious or flirtatious and she could be neither to him. It had passed some time since she had genuinely smiled with happiness. She preferred not to ruin it now.

I understand. I don’t hate you. This is a second chance. We can both ruin it.

“We’re pirates.” she ended up saying, hoping that it could convey everything she didn’t say. Knowing that it couldn’t.

“Let’s go, shall we?” she asked, clenching her jaw and moving.

[captain-teague-roleplay]

He could feel pain rush through his body.. she had no fear of death, much like himself. Though Teague just.. he fell completly silent, having nothing else to say as he walked to his ship and went onward, getting up onto the ships deck. He had a old crew, old, scraggily men. He spoke to one of them, saying that she was abord the ship and to tell the rest of the crew, as the crew member began to do, Teague starting to head down to his quaters. “I’m guessin’ you’ll stay the night, eh? It’s gettin’ dark, and I’m still docked as long as you’re aboard.” he spoke, looking behind him and then looking forward as he began to go down the stairs.

[soffwonshik]

Her smile was huge. He had a ship! Two ships! Ariel could barely contain herself. She was still a bit wobbly of the man pulling her up, but she found her balance and her grin stayed. So it was true, the pirates truly were free. For she assumed he was a pirate. He didn’t look anything like the navy people. Who had white hair and tight uniforms. No, this man looked free. 

“ I-I can? Can I? Come with you, I mean.. Oh I would love to set sail.. Be free like you..’’ She sighed, having a rather dreamy look on her face. She reached for the captain’s hands, grabbing them happily and giving them a firm squeeze. She was so excited she could barely speak and her gaze wandered to the ship. Then she thought of something. 

“But I am not sure if I would be a good pirate.. I don’t know anything about your kind.. Only your freedom and your songs.’’ 

[captain-teague-roleplay]

His eyes were darkend as he looked at her, his brown eyes looked sickly, even his hands were ice cold and felt like they didn’t have much blood flowing to them, though he had poking veins on his ringed hands. He gave a slight smile as he looked down at her delicate fingers, letting out a small chuckle as he slid out his hands from her. “You’ll do fine… c’mmon, lass.” he spoke as he turned around and began to head twoards the ship. He was limping, it was a pretty bad limp too. He was at a old age, but… He shoulden’t of been limping that bad, unless something had been wrong. “Ya’ gotta place you wanna go, or you alright with just going anywhere, sailin’ the seas?” he spoke, looking over at the female as he continued to walk, his long coat slightly swaying in the wind along with his greying, long dreads. Intwined with his dreads laid crosses, some shining and some dull, showing christianty, though his wife had been a literal voodoo queen, he had loved her despite his religion and supported her witchcraft and her scary possesions and bringing back the dead.. he loved her for all of that, and would often help her, and still pray at night to the lord. He was a very open minded male. He missed Thalicia.. a burning passion for his dark skinned voodoo queen. But she was long gone, dying from sickness years before. Now that he thought about it, she’d be the first new female on the ship that wasn’t family by blood. It would feel good to have a young hand aboard, even if she wasn’t working as the crew, she’d be providing company.. and that’s what he loved. At least, sometimes.

[soffwonshik]

As she followed the captain, Ariel realized something. That he was indeed of age. Not that she minded, no, the girl found it fascinating. How one leg moved quicker than the other, the lines on his face and the veins on his hand, she found it to be beautiful even. In it’s own way. She wondered if she could help him and hooked her arm through his. So that if he fell down, he could lean on her and she practically pulled the man forwards.

‘’I want to find treasure..-captain. I  want to go somewhere,- somewhere where there are pirates! And songs!’’ Her eyes lit up with excitement when she talked, a visible grin on her face. Was it really happening? Was she setting sail with the free people? She’d never been on an actual ship and as they walked closer the the enormous vessel, her excitement just kept growing. 

‘’And what’s a lass?’’ The girl added shortly. One of those words she didn’t now. She knew many things of the human language, through books, but she’d never heard the term ‘lass’ before. ‘’Am I a lass?’’ 

[captain-teague-roleplay]

Teague flinched as he was touched, the man looking at the arm looping. He had to take a while to register what was happening before he just began to listen to her. Treasure, pirates, songs.... Sounded like Tortuga. But Tortuga wasn’t the friendliest place. He looked over at her as she asked what a lass was, the man slightly chuckling. “Lass ‘n seawench, terms involvin’ a woman.. You’re a lass.” he spoke, continuing to move. He could feel his lungs burning, and he knew he was sick, and the sun was setting-.. everything was just being strange. He sighed slightly as he looked around. “We’ll fix a meal, then rest for the night, alright?” He asked, moving to bring out his gun as he got close to the ship, looking around his s hip... no one was there to hurt them. He put away his gun, and showed her a skinny board going up to the ship. “Be careful.. Walk on that, don’t loose your balance... If you gotta sit down and schoot, you can.” he spoke, showing her the gangplank as he let her go first.

”Captain Edward Teague?”

She had believed unnecessary to go to that Pirate conference. It was mostly time wasted watching pirates...

[captainalaricewren-deactivated2]

If you could see me now

“He claims he is the rightful owner of my ship. The captain that had it before me gave it to me before she died. This man claims that Captain Cameron had promised it to him a long time ago. He just came out of nowhere and makes such a statement.”

It was a lie. Well, half of a lie. This man, had, indeed, come half a year ago, but she had dealt with him without any problems. Besides the fact that she had had witnesses to prove that St. Victoria belonged to her, she had dared the man to duel her - she had won, obviously. And nobody dared to challenge her anymore - over her ship, at least.

But Captain Teague didn’t need to know that. She had only chosen that story because it hit close to home. It was also a warning, she supposed. Better than just claim she was her daughter, wasn’t it?

Or she could. Just end the masquerade.

And have him laugh at her. Or not believe her. He had not seen her in over 30 years, for what she knew.

“What would you do?” the question was calmer than she felt.

[captain-teague-roleplay]

His eyes gazed up to her, his brow arching as he listend to her speak. She wanted a answer, right then? She was asking these questions, rather close to her home life, and she was a complete stranger who just seemed to be buying time. He didn’t trust it... Being the old Sparrow that he was, he didn’t trust most things anymore. He put a hand on one of his pistols, as if resting it on the old wooden gun, as he kept his eyes on her. “I’d kill him...” he responded, moving forward as he scanned her. “What is your purpose..?” he asked, looking at the female as he began to count silently on how many weapons she had. Just incase there would be a fight, he wanted to at least be ready.

[captain-teague-roleplay]

What do you mean by 'the death of Jack's father?'

ll That’s a typo, my bad. The death of Jack’s mother. I didn’t mean to put father. ll

captain-teague-roleplay (Okay I started a new one, I felt weird to take one already made. I like trying to be at least a bit original)

”Captain Edward Teague?”

She had believed unnecessary to go to that Pirate conference. It was mostly time wasted watching pirates fighting each other and trying to prove they’re the best.

Now, facing the famous Code keeper, she didn’t feel like this anymore. She held her ground, trying not to betray her anxiety. She had learnt a year ago that he was her father. She had not asked for that information in particular, but the witch had provided it anyway.

She had not gone looking for him. In part, she was busy looking for treasures; in plus, she hadn’t really wanted to meet him. What would she tell him? ‘ Hello, I’m your daughter, did you know I’m alive? Cool hat.”

She could bet it sounded worse out loud.

“I’m Captain Alarice Wren. I would like to see the Code. There’s a dispute between me and one of my crew.”

Neat. Her voice was calm, controlled. She was in control here. (at least over herself). He was not her father; he had only helped in creating her. He didn’t raise her. He wasn’t her father.

Just the man she might have something in common. She wondered if they did. She breathed deeply, eyeing him cautiously.

[captain-teague-roleplay]

Teague was normally not the kind of man to even be awake around this time of day.. he slept alot since the death of Jack’s father, and he slept alot due to how sick he had been getting here recently, also. He was filled with pain.. straight up, make a sailor cry kind of pain. Every single inch of his body ached.  And now, confronted by a lass wanting to see the code? His brown eyes gazed over to her, he wasn’t very far from his ship, and he knew that he kept the code on the Misty Lady now adays... but the factor of taking the hundred pound book and looking through it, for a stranger? He arched a thin brow as he shoved his hands into his coat pockets, trying to protect the ringed fingers from the cold breeze. “Dispute..?” he questioned, looking off into the distance, where he could see the sun starting to set.  “Ya’ should have the code memorized... have the pirate ways in ‘da back of your head, somethin’ like that..” He wasn’t even making sense at this late hour. He let out a shaky sigh. “What’s it over? I’m a walkin’ code.” he spoke, looking over at her. He didn’t seem to have much of a facial expression, he didn’t seem happy or mad, he just seemed.. emotionless and dead on the inside. He could even hear Thalicia cussing, saying ‘Edward, ya’ gotta smile, people love your smile’.. Damn right, they see the smile before they die, if they’re lucky.. but he wanted to push that into the back of his mind and just relax. At least, until he figured out what the lass that just came up to him knowing half way his full name and wanting to see the code wanted. Because he knew, somehow, that she didn’t just want to see the code.. he didn’t know what she wanted, but he didn’t like it.

[captain-teague-roleplay]

You could take that one. I imagine there are many ways Alarice could meet her father, but I like that one a lot. I can copy-paste for you so that we don't confuse the other rper.

ll Copy paste away, then! <3 I’ll reblog it when I reply (I’m new to Tumblr roleplay, so I guess that’s how everyone does it? asdhjlda? ) I’m used to facebook roleplay, sooo~ ll

[captain-teague-roleplay]

Teague watched her as she began to react to the sea charm, his dark brown eyes watching her fingers as they traced over the charms and she began to realize he was good, and began to get closer to him. He stood in his place, letting her come to him as he saw the female reach out a delicate hand to shake his. She was still on the ground, from cowering previously and going to the edge of the dock. He moved a ringed hand to take hers, veins popped out of the scarred hands, fingers that were moved strangely with age, but still functional.  He pulled her up, suddenly. He was careful to make sure whenever she was standing that she’d stand, and even though pulling her up took a small toll on his back, he didn’t mind as he tried to give a smile (not being a man to smile), as he let go of her hand. “I’ve gotta’ ship.. n’, I’ve actually got two… Troubledor and the docked Misty Lady. Ya’ wanna be free? Come with me.” he spoke, looking behind him and scanning for a minute before pointing to a large ship a few miles away. “My ship…”

[soffwonshik]

Her smile was huge. He had a ship! Two ships! Ariel could barely contain herself. She was still a bit wobbly of the man pulling her up, but she found her balance and her grin stayed.

“ I-I can? Can I? Come with you, I mean.. Oh I would love to set sail.. Be free like you..’’ She sighed, having a rather dreamy look on her face. She reached for the captain’s hands, grabbing them happily and giving them a firm press. She was so excited she could barely speak and her gaze wondered to the ship. Then she thought of something. 

“But I am not sure if I would be a good pirate.. I don’t know anything about your kind.. Only your freedom and your songs.’’

[captain-teague-roleplay]

Both situations work for me. I saw that you liked the post I've written for codexkeeper. If I start, would you like me to write another one for you?

ll You could give me the one you made for codexkeeper or you can just write whatever, I’m okay with anything. <3 ll

[captain-teague-roleplay]

Ahoy, Captain. Would you like to RP?

ll Of course! Would you like me to start, or you? ll

[captain-teague-roleplay]

He watched the girl freak out and begin to struggle as she moved, as if she was in fear. Her trembling body wasn’t a sight that he wasn’t familiar with. He knew if he was to fall into the water… He’d drown, so the man carefully moved from the water to come closer to her.

He began to think… Yes! Something only a mermaid could make and give to her friends. Perfect. He’d show her the charms he’d gotten from his old friends that his wife used to deal with (In order to do some potions, Mermaid scales/tails/tears/scales were needed. It’s better to have a mermaid friend than to kill one each time). He looked down at her as he came closer and bent down, crouching as he pulled a small charm from his pocket. Small seashells were put together to form a heart. As he tossed it to her and pulled out a similiar one, tossing it to her also. “ n’ here’s the first one… n’ there’s the second. Eh, If ya’ can’t tell by the second that I’m not a enemy to ‘da mermaids, I ain’t got nothing to show you.” The old pirate spoke, slowly moving to stand, his joints cracking and creaking and hardly allowing him to move as he looked down at her. “I still remember their names, too! Geri and Tridish.” he spoke, rubbing his back slightly.

[soffwonshik]

“These are.. Sea charms..’’ Ariel picked up one of the shells, slowly tracing it. It made her think of her old life. She’d never actually received one but she knew them to be made for special occasions and friends, something even trades. That meant-

 “You’re telling the truth! you aren’t an enemy..’’ The girl sighed in relief, cracking a smile, no human could know these existed unless they’d be traded. That’s probably why he knew, her fear for the man faded, and she closed some distance between them, for now she wasn’t afraid anymore, but curious. If the man truly dealt with mermaids in the past, he must have thousands of stories to tell! 

She dared to observe the human again,  who seemed to have trouble standing up, and she realized that was a human thing also. Age. Mermaids didn’t age. They died, but in fight, or got killed, harvested for their tears and scales. They never died of age. But the humans, this human, aged. Now that she didn’t have to be afraid of him anymore, she only saw how interesting, fascinating the man was. His eyes held a hundred stories and his scars probably a hundred more.

“I’m Ariel. I- I used to be one of them, but not anymore. I wanted to be free.. But I’m still not free.. I don’t have a .. Ship’.’ It took the mermaid a while to find the right word for the floating vessel. After introducing herself, she promptly reached out her hand, for the captain to shake, like she’d seen some other humans do before. 

[captain-teague-roleplay]

Teague watched her as she began to react to the sea charm, his dark brown eyes watching her fingers as they traced over the charms and she began to realize he was good, and began to get closer to him. He stood in his place, letting her come to him as he saw the female reach out a delicate hand to shake his. She was still on the ground, from cowering previously and going to the edge of the dock.

He was careful to make sure whenever she was standing that she’d stand, and even though pulling her up took a small toll on his back, he didn’t mind as he tried to give a smile (not being a man to smile), as he let go of her hand. “I’ve gotta’ ship.. n’, I’ve actually got two... Troubledor and the docked Misty Lady. Ya’ wanna be free? Come with me.” he spoke, looking behind him and scanning for a minute before pointing to a large ship a few miles away. “My ship...”

Being a man of creepy nature himself, having married a basic voodoo queen and then shrinking her head and wearing her on his belt, to having strange creatures bottled up and in a cabinet-.. He was prone to things that were-, well, out of this world. He could feel...

He watched the girl freak out and begin to struggle as she moved, as if she was in fear. Her trembling body wasn’t a sight that he wasn’t familiar with. He knew if he was to fall into the water… He’d drown, so the man carefully moved from the water to come closer to her. He began to think… Yes! Something only a mermaid could make and give to her friends. Perfect. He’d show her the charms he’d gotten from his old friends that his wife used to deal with (In order to do some potions, Mermaid scales/tails/tears/scales were needed. It’s better to have a mermaid friend than to kill one each time). He looked down at her as he came closer and bent down, crouching as he pulled a small charm from his pocket. Small seashells were put together to form a heart. As he tossed it to her and pulled out a similiar one, tossing it to her also. “ n’ here’s the first one… n’ there’s the second. Eh, If ya’ can’t tell by the second that I’m not a enemy to ‘da mermaids, I ain’t got nothing to show you.” The old pirate spoke, slowly moving to stand, his joints cracking and creaking and hardly allowing him to move as he looked down at her. “I still remember their names, too!

He was prone to things that were-, well, out of this world.  He could feel something was off, as his brown eyes scanned the docks, his eyes falling onto a woman touching the water. He slowly walked over, a smirk coming on his face for a second as he moved, quieting his boots as he bent down. “Kinda hard, bein’ from the water? Livin’ your life in the water and then stayin’ on land ain’t that good, huh?” Teague spoke. Honestly, it was obvious, she had all the signs and all the beauty to be a mermaid, as he stepped down onto the platform she was on and looked down at her, his body jingling with the charms he had.

Teague’s eyes narrowed, his brown pupils looking out onto the distance. Nobody was around.. the ship nearly seemed empty, though he knew that he had hundreds of men, they were all out of sight and being quiet. He sighed and looked down, looking at the ocean below him. He could see his partial reflection, and it was a sight that he didn’t like seeing.. well, not exactly, anyway. He yawned and closed his brown pupils, his mind at a temporary bliss.
