A Pirate's Life for Me
We gathered in Sanchon to prepare for battle, ships at the ready...
And our teams chosen. As boatswain of the Zaneta, there is no other ship that I'll serve on...
The battle was on...the HGS Zaneta against the Isabell, the Black Rat, and the Independance. The brigs held their own, but the new longships are small, agile, and quite fast. The other two ships started late, allowing the veteran captain Admiral Arbre and his gunner to get to us first, although we made him really work for it!
It was down to the Admiral and one of the longships, as we all watched. In the second battle, it came down to the same longship and the Zaneta. I fired away, only for them to get the better of us in the end. Grrr...
We had a free for all melee on shore afterwards, rapiers slashing and flintlock pistols blazing. In the ensuing chaos, I was cut down...Ah, the life of a pirate is a dangerous one indeed.

In the Navy...Somehow!
What started out as a leisurely sail with my Regency neighbor Captain Koba, ended up with me calling pirates "fiends" and manning the cannons of the HGS Zaneta! Capt. Koba and I met with Admiral Wind, Capt. Trenton, and other assorted naval personages gathered at the Sound before the naval battles were to begin. When Capt. Trenton asked for a volunteer to be on his crew, I thought, "Why not?"
My task? Simple. Man the cannons and blast 'em when they got close. I figured I could manage that and tried my best to keep them in my sight!
But while we did damage to their ship, the Zaneta took too many hits and was incapacitated *cough cough*
Dash it! We were boarded! I had not figured upon this when accepting! How dare Mr. Abel and Mr Enoch point weapons at me! "We'll take her aboard!" they said, nodding towards their ship. I looked at my captain and pulled out my knife-pistol. They were messing with the wrong lady...
In the second battle, we went up against the pirates and despite our best efforts, they managed to defeat us, and Capt. Trenton and I went down with the Zaneta. Grrrr. Our colleague got off some shots and got the pirate ship, but only at the cost of his own. We could only watch as he saluted, and went down. 
It seems my handy ways with a cannon made Capt. Trenton invite me to join the Caledon Navy. Never figured myself for a military type, but this is Caledon...you never know what will happen next.
