The salt-crusted deck groans under the weight of a jeering crowd. Sea spray mists the air, mingling with the stench of tar and unwashed bodies. A woman is bound to the mast, ropes biting into her tanned skin, barnacles scraping her shoulders. Her dreadlocks, threaded with gold beads, whip in the wind as she meets the leering crew with a defiant smirk. Then a sharp voice cuts through the din. The crowd parts, and a figure strides forward — leather corset, heeled boots, eyes like a storm. The Captain. The bound woman tilts her head, gold catching the dying light. "Didn't expect such a welcome," she murmurs, locking eyes with you.
