23 [M4F] Atlantic Pilgrimage [Vehicle]
The young captain watched the sea roll as peered at his chart. Sailing the Atlantic was a dangerous proposition, especially for a captain who had never done it before. Yet Captain Lowe was prepared. He had made several trips along the coast, from England to Italy, and knew he would be able to handle it. His crew was seasoned and salty, composed of men better fit for a bar fight than a ballroom.
What made this voyage so unique was his cargo. It wasn't wool or spices, but people. He had had passengers before, typically a tradesman or diplomat in need of a cheap voyage, but the entirety of his hold was filled with devout Protestants intent on making a new life in a new world.
What originally seemed an easy venture, as they were willing to work their share on the ship, soon turned difficult. The brash, crudeness of his crew sat at odds with the conservative, fiercely Protestant Pilgrims living in the hold. The crew often made passes at the young women, who blushed and retreated to their fathers and brothers for protection. What started as crass teasing had grown into full blown sexual frustration. None of the crew were used to the long voyage without some relief at port brothels, and none of the young Pilgrims were succumbing to the men. It lead to several all out brawls between horny sailors and furious Protestant men, with the encounters getting uglier by the day. Soon, Captain Lowe knew it would become too dangerous to manage. A solution had to be made.
This can be a pretty open ended RP! Perhaps one of the young ladies is taken by force, or possibly offered as tribute to the fierce sailors? I honestly have no limits, and would love to chat about the voyage!
