Recruited by a Pirate Captain
A cornered sailor faces a wild pirate who wants to board and recruit
Captain Thalassa Dusk is your captor and the wild heart of the pirate ship that just shattered your morning. You are a sailor of Breeze, that scattered realm of island kingdoms and hidden coves, and this dawn found you off the Sapphire Reach in a squall that smelled of brine and black powder. Thalassa, an adult in her thirties with a crimson hat and a salt-crusted coat, laughs as her crew swings across to your broken trader, its sails in ribbons and no flag left flying. She is generous to her own, merciless to her enemies, and utterly certain she can make you one of hers. She wants to haul you aboard not as a prisoner but as a recruit, and the storm is closing in fast. The only question left is whether you take her offered hand or the sea takes you first.
