Yawning loudly and scratching her head Shiva rolled out of her comfortable swing and walked to her cracked mirror, examining her mussed up golden hair and traced the many scars that sketched her body. Sighing slightly to herself she gave a small shrug and threw on what skimpy clothes she had to wear on the warm summer days. She giggled at how cute she looked and let her fangs slide out slightly, it was good to be back on the sea with the wonderful sea breeze licking about her feet like a good little puppy should.
Giving a small giggle Shiva pranced out of the captain's quarters and onto deck, watching every crewmate with pleasure, she had chosen them well. she giggled slightly to herself and nearly flew up the stairs to look at the sighs around her. Cocking her head to the side she spied a new island in the distance, it was rather large from the moutain perched on top of it. Oh goody, another island to conqueror for the mighty Beelzebub, the king and overlord of demons.
Purring to herself and sitting down in her throne like captain's chair Shiva started filing her nails, everything was going smooth and she was finally going to get to have some fun when they reached the island. Maybe there were going to be savages to slaughter this time? Giving a small shrug Shiva just yawned and flicked a speck of dust off of her spotless nails gone claws and looked up and around
"Where is Laurence? He should be up here by now" her voice was that of a young girl, a gift of her demonic heritage, as was her body, she would not age past the point of fifteen. She had been frozen in time for nearly five thousand years, since the third Beelzebub was reigning. But that just gave her more privilege and more honors than she could deal with, so she demoted herself every three hundred years or so only to shoot back up the ranks like she had, doing things like scavenging the seas for new lands for the overlords to rule. Setting: Pirate ship near shore of an unfamiliar island with black sand and a large mountain surrounded by jungle. this is the demon world, with all sorts of demons in it, Shiva and her crew have been sent out to explore the unknown areas of the sea. Tagged: Kiena/Laurence Word count required: Nope Shiva and her clothes: **edit** well you know what she looks like now xD

((Sorry, on here you can't use pictures that other people made, it's one of the rules that posted in every single rp section, and I'm not sure about actually drawn pictures either because Cyma hasn't really given any ruling on it.))
Below deck Laurence had been rudely awakened by one of the other ship members. He pulled himself up from where he was sleeping, scratching the back of his head with a yawn. Pushing his auburn red hair, that went down to his shoulders, out of his eyes he reached down and picked up his tricorn hat from where it had landed after falling off his head. Taking a step forward he hit his head on one of the support beams cursing at it before moving on. Standing at six foot one wasn't the best thing below decks.
With a final stretch he headed up the stairs to the top deck, putting his hat back on his head. He reached down fixing his boots before straightening out his blackish jacket that he wore over his white shirt and pants. Around his white shirt he had a black sash that helped with him having such a skinny figure. Standing where he was for a moment he looked out over the water still a bit tired from his nap. He shook his head and rubbed his eyes, walking over to the captain's throne.
He gave the captain a little bow, making sure to hold his hat down on top of his head, so it didn't fall off, before looking up at her. "You wanted to see me madam?" He straightened his pose looking at the fifteen year old figure of his captain where he was at the age of twenty two.

(dang lol, and I read the rules too xD)
Looking up at Laurence, her sea water blue eyes narrowed her puiples into slits. "Tell me, Laurence, how are things going with the mapping I've assigned to you? Or have you been sleeping too much to tell me," she smirked at him just enough to show that she wasn't tanning his hide this time for napping while he was supposed to be charting. She stretched slightly and sat sideways on the chair, lounging a leg over the armrest and cocking her head to the side.
"We're reaching an island, I don't know what type it'll be, all I could see was a moutain and jungle around it. There may be hostiles so if you would get the crew ready for absolutely anything to happen. That includes hauntings. I don't want a repeat of the ghost town we stopped in" giggling happily to herself Shiva bounced up from her chair and patted Laurence on the chest before walking down to the crew and giggling even more. She looked around happily and started climbing up to the crows nest, her claws digging deep into the wood so she wouldn't fall.
"I expect to see some improvement when I get down!" she hollered down at the crew with a wicked smile from halfway up to the crows nest. She laughed and let go of one of her hands and held on tight onto the rope, watching the fast approaching island. "Oh I can't wait!" she snickered to herself and waited til the island was nearly there.

Before he could get a word in about him taking a nap she continued talking. He had been working hard on the charting it just took a lot out of him with working on it for hours at a time. It was those naps in between that kept him going on that. She went on about an island that they were headed towards. A mountain and a jungle, that couldn't have possibly all that would be there and the ghosts, oh how horribly that night had ended.
He watched her as she got up and patted him on the chest. It felt weird to him, so when she bounded off to go up to the crows nest he put his hand over his chest, watching her walk away. He relaxed slightly when she started climbing, and headed to the front of the ship looking out, over in the direction of the island.
Laurence stood there for a bit before turning around and shouting at the crew. "Alright you heard her, get everyone up, and be on guard, we don't need any repeats of past failures!" He headed up to the helm watching as they got closer, keeping an eye on all the crew that were scurrying around on the deck below.

Shiva watched Laurence go about watching everyone else and giggled to herself. The island had caught her attention in the past but she had not gone there intentionally, it would prove to be a challenge for the younger demons in her crew. They wouldn't know what to do with the temptations just yet. Cocking her head slightly she put her elbows on the edge of the crows nest and laid her cheek on her forearm, pulling her claws in and out because she could.
Just after sundown she slid down the rope from the crows nest and stood next to Laurence. "So. Everyone's all set. We should get going." She squeezed his forearm gently, almost maternally as she left, eyes hard and set on the treasure she was certain was there.
"Alright boys! There will be things that you can't resist there, or maybe you can. I want you all on guard for everything. And when I say everything I mean everything! If I see you wondering off from where your post is I will kill you myself!" the last part snarled out of her mouth as her eyes blazed red and her ribbed bat wings exposed themselves for a moment.
Giggling right after that she ran over to the first lifeboat sized canoe and drug Laurence with her, grabbing an oar and starting to paddle as soon as she sat down. "Tonight's going to be lots of fun Laurence, lots and lots of fun."

He looked over at her as she came to stand by him up at the helm for a bit before walking off to give the crew their warning. Sighing he walked down the steps back to the deck rubbing his arm where she touched him. He wished she would stop touching him, but he knew that, that wasn't going to happen.
Her demon exposure didn't bother him, it was almost a natural thing to him at this pointg. He got dragged into the first lifeboat with the captain. He got into the boat and looked at her as she started paddling. "Here, let me row for you captain, if tonight is going to half as fun as you say it will be, you will need your strength." He held out his hand to take her place in rowing to shore.

Giggling impishly at Laurence she just cocked her head to the side and shook her head. "Nah, I'll be fine. A five kay girl like me has to keep up toonee" she laughed and stopped rowing just long enough to show off the wry muscle she had, if any. She grabbed one of the oars again and stuck out her tongue. "If you really want to you can take the other," she winked at him and started humming a merry tune even though her eyes were hard and tinting red.
"Laurence, if anything happens don't come back for me." she said flatly, pushing harder to get to the shore "I don't want the crew thinking its right to try and get every single last man just because they're feeling noble." she stopped a yard or two away from the shore and just looked at it. "It's been years, friend... Savages turned noble and into pirates for the great lord Beelzebub. You looked so different back then..." she chuckled to herself and jumped into the water and ran onto the shore
"Alright boys! You need to make camp now, and on the shore and do not touch the plants until dawn!" she laughed and bounced into the foliage gathering dead wood from plants that weren't hungry. She came back multiple times and at the last stop just stopped and started a fire of her own, curling up to it and holding her knees to her chest, trying to keep the chill from her bones.

"But captain..." He was going to argue but he stopped himself, with a huff he sat down across from her. When she jumped out and ran to shore he sat there and watched her for a bit before jumping out himself, pulling the boat the rest of the way to the shore so that it wouldn't wash away. She had run off into the woods before he could get it up the rest of the way on the shore.
With a sigh he looked back at the rest of the crew pulling the boats they had used up onto the shore. He stood there until everyone was a shore before turning around to see her come out with a pile of wood then dart back in for more. After she got back for the last time and lit the fire he walked over to her and sat down diagonal to her, pulling his hat off and setting down in the sand next to him. There was a long pause before he spoke up. "So you know this island captain?"

Shiva giggled and cocked her head to the side, purring loudly. "Nah, I don't know it any more. She's changed so much since I've been here she looks like a completely different place. Have you ever had that happen before?" she didn't tare her gaze away from the fire, chewing her lip slightly and giving a small sigh before allowing her demonic self to form. Her black and red wings wrapped around her and her spade tipped tail just flicked back and forth behind her.
"I used to call this place home, before the lord Beelzebub III took me to his palace to become a warrior," she sighed slightly and toyed with her now black hair, letting her legs down into the lotus style, one leg over the other. She looked at Laurence and cocked her head. "But now its just unfamiliar territory for our lord to claim as his own."

Laurence looked over at her the light from the fire casting shadows on his face. "I guess you could say that it would happen to me if i ever went back to my home. It's been so long I'm sure that it has changed since the last time i was there when i was just a small boy." He took a pause to look at the flames dancing around the dead branches.
"Anyways there's really no point in dealing the the past any attention, where here and now, witch brings me to question why are we hear... and what could possibly be here that would cause you not to come back to your ship and crew." He glanced back over at her with his dark blue eyes.

Shiva smiled and shrugged "things change so fast that I don't know if I could keep up with them at my age. What an old lady I'm getting to be" she laughed slightly and took a twig and started poking at the fire slightly, trying to find a way around Laurence's question, her tail curling around her and squeezing her waist slightly.
"There has been a legend in my old tribe, about an idol that would grant a wish to who ever knew the way to it. I've been exploring all around the demon world looking for it and trying to think of ways to get it and what my wish would be. Except I don't think I would change a thing right now" she gave a small shrug and yawned. "As to why leaving me behind... I'm not going to bother you with those details"

"You don't look like an old lady, why should you make your self feel like one..." He watched her poke at the fire with the stick. He knew that their captain was old he wasn't sure how old. He hadn't even bothered to count the years that he's been on the ship with her. Why should he count, it didn't matter to him, he was stuck as a pirate for the rest of his life.
Looking back at Shiva fidget in her spot he gave her a slight reassuring smile. "You can bore me with all the details you want, you know that i will listen."

Shiva laughed and rolled her eyes, smirking at him impishly "I am old enough to be one of your oldest ancestors, Laurence, I am very very old despite how young I am," she rolled her shoulders and changed back into her normal self, cracking her back and knuckles, trying to get used to the feeling of not having any balance any more from her bumm.
She cocked her head to the side and looked at Laurence, blinking slowly. "How long have we been on the same ship, Laurence? Nearly seven years? How would you say I've changed over those years?" she locked her eyes onto his and would not let them leave, he was going to figure this out the hard way.

Laurnece laughed a bit at her saying that she could be one of his oldest ancestors. "I know that you are old despite your appearance, that is something that many others might not even know about you." He took a deep breath of the cold night air, pulling his legs in close to himself. "Seven years... really? Has it been that long already? Well, you changing over the years... i haven't noticed a thing about you that has changed. You are still the same you, same looks, same attitude. As i have grown you have stay practically the same, or so it would seem to me to be that way." He tried thinking back as far as he could, back to when the two of them met, back when he had been on a different ship, with a different captain. He tried to look back at the fire but found that he couldn't, he was stuck there looking into her eyes.

Shiva giggled slightly and cocked her head to the side slightly. She watched Laurence intently, chewing on her lip slightly. "You know how some demons do not age, vampires for example? I am not supposed to be a breed of demon like that. All the inhabitants of this island are human," she closed her eyes and looked down started playing with the sand around her, drawing little designs here and there and just brushing them away with a flick of her hand.
She looked back up at Laurence and offered a sheepish smile, it was like she really was 15 again, she didn't know how to talk any more, she couldn't make the words to describe how she was feeling about anything any more. She was just tongue tied from being back, she was sure, but she couldn't brush it away. Something shook the leaves close to her, snapping her back to the hard warrior that she was and got her tense, bushes didn't shake for no reason on this island.
"Remember what I said, Laurence." she growled slightly and let her claws extend as she got ready for anything.
