Naval Headquarters, Second of Klang, Year 17xx, 11:30 Hour of the Solrock
Fleet Admiral Jin "Bolt" Inozama and the Naval Army were head-over-heels in the issue of the missing Essences. After a few weeks since The Forsaken announced himself, the headquarters were working on determining who the Forsaken really is. The letters could not be traced back to their origin, the handwriting was changing every time, and even the return addresses are switching back and forth to at least five spot in the world. None of his letter that followed gave much information, except that he is now targeting the third Essence, Mew's Gene, responsible for the propagation of each species. The headquarters were further spurred to activity. The army was becoming nervous. Jin could feel the tension in the air, especially from Yale.
"Supreme Admiral," a messenger arrived. It was a Golduck. "Message had arrived from the Pirate Council." He handed Yale the scroll, and retreated out the room. Yale and his Admirals were in the middle of a meeting. Bolt, Quake, and Flood attended. Only Yami, the mysterious Admiral failed to show up.
"Yami didn't show up," Luna "Flood" Storm said. "
"That was kind of expected, especially from him. Let's see what the Pirate Council has to say," Yale announced.
"To the Naval Army. We are not under your jurisdiction. However, we have considered the threat very real. We will be holding a council meeting a few days from the sending of this letter. We will discuss whether to help you in your quest to capture the Forsaken. Updates will be sent through the usual Pelipper Mail. Signed, Heil of the Axe, Pirate Council President."
"That's it. Things are starting to shape up. This meeting is over. Let's get to work."

Pirate Council Headquarters, Somewhere in the Ocean, Third of Klang, Year 17xx, 8:30 Hour of the Solrock
Heil of the Axe, Azure Flute, and Ingo were the only pirates inside the meeting room. None was emitting any sound, aside from the cough Ingo emits once-in-a-while. The meeting with the other pirate captains, Morrison Faglio and Popo was scheduled to be at 9. Heil expected it to start at 9:30, since Popo is notorious for being late. A few minutes later, the door to the meeting room opened with a blast of electricity. Not one of the three pirates flinched. Morrison Faglio entered. The Manectric looked around and took the seat beside Ingo. The Gengar coughed.
"Popo?" He simply asked. Azure flute answered him without sparing him a look.
"Not yet here," she said. "Not that it is unexpected though, Faglio."
"We need to do something with that of his 'self-important' attitude," Morrison Faglio said. "Heil. I'm pretty sure you can influence him in some way or another."
"That is not my job, Faglio. Besides, that is not the reason why I summoned you here," Heil calmly said.
"I know. It's because of the Forsaken right?" Faglio asked. "One could deduce as-"
"I have not said anything yet, Faglio. I have not given you permission to speak, if I remember correctly. Much alone deduce anything." Heil snapped at Faglio. The Manectric just growled and fell silent. Ingo coughed.
The minutes stretched as silence overcame the four greatest Pirates. The door opened. In came a blood-red Furret.
"Heil, Azure Flute, Ingo, Faglio," Popo addressed his equals. "Sorry I'm late."
"Just take you seat, Popo. We will start the meeting," Heil ordered. The Furret took the seat beside Azure Flute. "I summoned you all here because of the request of the Naval Army." Heil looked around. So far, none of his subordinates are having violent reactions. "They request us to help them in their search for the Forsaken."
Azure Flute spoke up. "We are indirectly affected by this. Pirates roam the world and thus the single effect of a missing essence is not much noticed. Besides, we've faced worse dangers on the seas. Also, it is against the Pirate Code to hunt down a fellow pirate. I'm out." She simply said. The others agreed and stood up.
"So you have spoken amongst yourselves before this meeting?" Hei asked, looking at the Roserade in the eyes. "Why come here, when you have decided already?"
"We have not said such a thing but, if we did, it is not against the Council Rules to hold small meetings between a few members regarding things."
"Wait. They promised us one thing. Hear this out, before going," Heil told them the deal. It captured the attention of the other four pirates. "So?"
"The deal is too big to be turned down. Count me and my pirates in," Faglio said.
"Me too," Popo followed up. Ingo nodded in agreement. Heil looked at Azure Flute.
"I don't know. The offer is too important for the pirates to be turned down."
"No matter what you choose, the four of us are going to help," Heil said. A long silence stretched between them.
"Then I'm in." The Council drafted the letter and immediately sent them to their captains.
Dear Captain,
Being a loyal servant of the Pirate Council, I, together with my Council Heads, summon you to the Headquarters in full faith of your arrival. There are some things that require our attention, and we need your help. Come to the headquarters soon as possible. Also, send word to your respective Council Captain, via Pelipper Mail of course, when you reach the island. I am expecting you.
Signed,
Heil of the Axe, Pirate Council President.

Chapter 1: Summons
The RP has started! In your first few posts, you should have stated that you received a letter from your Council Captain, summoning you. Also, proceed to a designated base Island in a few posts also. Things will pick up after. No interaction between pirates first.
What you can do on your posts:
You should state you received the letter
You should make your way to the Pirate Council. [NOTE: You are in the middle of the sea when you received the letter, so technically you will be heading out to terra from the seas.] [NOTE: The world is big, okay? You could reach the headquarters for a day to two days, depending on where you are.]
You should have reached the Pirate Council Headquarters on your posts.
You could make land on Terra itself on one of the Port-towns.
You could explore the Port-town, but no farther than that. Go to the Pirate Council Island after.
The Pirate Council Island is a high-walled, maximum security kind of island. Pirates roam around the grounds of the headquarters. No guards could be seen, as each pirate who is summoned here is considered mighty in his/her own right. It is a privilege to be summoned to the headquarters.

Yuna "Temptress" Amore
South East Sea Zone
South East Sea Zone
The candles cast a dim light throughout the ship's common room. Even though it is called the common room, there are only two pirates inside. Most pirates, especially the Dream Magi Pirates, prefer being above-deck, as they could feel the world with their own body. They prefer feeling the sea breezes, hearing the exploring Pelippers and Wingulls cry on the skies. Very rarely do they spend their time locked up in their rooms below, and never on a clear sky. However, during this moment, Yuna "Temptress"Amore and her, first-mate, Sora "Dark Helm" Invidia, took the opportunity to meditate in the silence of the common room. They left the control of the ship to their third member and the other lesser pirates. Yuna and Sora needed the time to meditate again.
The air inside the common room felt heavy. The room was steel-reinforced to protect the Pirates in case the ship comes under attack. Not that many would be here when a battle starts. This is just in case of an emergency and is used more frequently in storms rather in battle. The common room is also painted over with a sea-fluid, making it less dense than water. In case the Dreamer's Desire breaks, the common room is a sturdy boat to be and can weather the sea. It is a ship in itself, if we could say such things.
A small fire is flickering in the far corner of the room. Pirates are wary around an element they could not easily control, but heat and warmth is very important on the seas. They try to minimize the size of the fire, while maximizing the heat provided by the fire. Yuna herself tends to it, twice a day, as to ensure the warmth of the common room.
The walls were, despite being made of steel outside, is lined with a really thin line of wood, to give the illusion that the room is completely made of wood. On the walls lined the head of other pirates whom the Dream Magi captured and terminated. All of the heads were no ordinary pirates; all are traitor to the peace pact made by the Pirate Council to the Naval Army. They bypassed the treaty and committed acts of unspeakable consequences. In the end, the Pirate Council and the Naval Army decided that these pirates were a threat to peace, and must be… 'terminated.' Most pirate crews, including the Dream Magi, specialized in bounty hunting, but the bad pirates were running out.
Dark Helm opened her eyes. She gazed upon the meditating figure of her friend and captain, the Temptress. Sora let her meditate for a few more minutes, before speaking.
"Yuna, the visions." Yuna opened jher eyes, and let out a huge sigh. Followed by another.
"Yes, dark times ahead." A knock broke the solemn silence. "Enter!" One of the cabin boys, a Poliwhirl, entered the common room.
"Captain Yuna, a Pelipper delivered a mail. It says it is from Heil of the Axe," the Poliwhirl said. Heil of the Axe is a respected pirate, and leading the Pirate Council. Yuna and Sora has yet to meet him, but admires him greatly of his exploits.
"Yuna, this is…"
"Yes. It has started." Yuna stood up, and Sora followed.
