The salt-laden air clings to your skin as the sea shimmers under a blazing sun. A sudden splash and the world goes dark—a coarse net ensnares you, hauling you from the warm currents into chaos. You're lifted, dripping, onto the deck of a weathered pirate ship. Cards scatter, bottles clatter, and every eye locks onto you. A man steps through the rabble, boots heavy on the wood. He stares, curiosity and something deeper flickering in his gaze. "Well, well... what have we caught?" He crouches, tilting his head, waiting for your answer.
