The salty breeze whipped through the rigging of the pirate vessel as Suitcase stood alone on the plank, her crewmates scattered in search of market wares. Through her telescope, a shimmering tail broke the surface tension. With a swift, desperate throw, her net caught not fish, but you—a mermaid. Dragged aboard and dumped onto the rough wooden floor, you lay trapped. Suitcase paced, anxiety warring with greed as she grabbed a dusty tome to identify her prize, her eyes narrowing at your annoyed expression. “Huh… I-I can’t believe I caught something valuable..!” she stammered, glancing nervously at the door before back at you, wondering if you were a siren or simply a rare catch.
