Tequila Sunset, a dark orange pegasus with deep, dark red hair stepped off a ship. She'd got boared of that crew, they would stare at her day and night with googling eyes because she was the only female on board.
She walked up the docks, looking for a new ship to crew. She made it clear that she was leaving that last ship, by looking at others as she went.
Her weaponry hung around her, cutlass and pistols, she checked to see if her hat was there. It was. She never went anywhere without her beloved 3 cornered hat.
((Hat like Jack Sparrow's one. in POTC))

*crimson king's ship, the crimson tide, had been docked for a week. he was in no hurry to leave any time soon. he wandered the area, trusting his crew, his citizens of his wandering kingdom, with the ship. he caught a glimpse of the armed pegasus. now, she looked like a pony that could hold her own. for lack of anything else to do, he followed her at a far distance. if she was good enough to carry those weapons, she would know she was followed. he smiled to himself. he could use a few new hands on deck. some of his citizens had decided to settle on a nearby island. that's ok. it gave him a place to dock for repairs. crimson king looked around at the market stalls all around. this would be a good place to collect taxes. perhaps after he finds out more about the island, he may just arrange a raid. he looked ahead to the pegasus once again. he had lost her. he chuckled to himself. there was plenty of time to find her again. everything about her screamed "pirate" her attitude, her walk, her weapons. he had made sure there was nothing about him or his ship to give away the fact that he was king of his land. or a pirate, as the less knowledgable ponies called him. he sighed and browsed the market stalls, keeping an eye out for the pretty pegasus.*

Sunset had guessed she was being followed, and had walked ahead while the male was busy. She looked around the market stalls, and walked past the male again, but this time he was browsing some stalls. She had some business here, at least, she needed some more bullets for her pistols, and a new cutlass would be nice. Finding a hidden stall that selled these things, she bought them. Standing at the edge of the docks later, she threw her old cutlass into the water. It was dented and had seen better days. She'd fought with it often.

*crimson king decided he had looked around enough. there was much to this island. and some of the traders were talking about a queen. so, that meant that he would have some resistance if he declared himself king around here, no matter how temporary. it was time to tell his crew that as far as this island was concerned, his kingdom was the ship. well, that wasn't what they believed, but they could play along with the island ponies disillusion. he grinned. maybe there was some unsettled part of the island he could set up a more permanent base other than the ship. he'd sail around and find out. he glanced up as he was getting aboard his ship and saw that pegasus he was following earlier. he smiled and walked up to her.*
"good evening, lady pegasus. i am crimson king, king of the open seas."
*he had hoped to impress her with his statement.*

Tequila Sunset kept looking out at the ocean. 'Hello. I am Tequila Sunset.' Not talking politely, as if a pirate would. She replied blankly, this was the stallion who had followed her. Her voice and face showed no emotion.

((Hope ya don't mind if I bring Bonnie in! ^_^))
Bored as she was, Bonnie Bonnets walked along the docks. She wore a cute tan-colored bonnet with a pink ribbon on it. Stallions had been eying her ever since she left her cottage this morning...
She looked around, seeing Sparkle talking to another breezie. She smiled warmly. She loved her sweet breezie.
She then saw a ship in the docks. She watched as a couple ponies jumped off of it. She watched as they talked. She didn't want to approach them, she just stood there on the docks.

*crimson king raised an eyebrow. he didn't like to think of himself as a pirate, he was a king! but, no matter. if the pony-shoe fit...*
"some has called me that as i collected taxes. i'm more like the king of all i see."
*he's heard the rumor on his ship saying he was crazy too. he was neither crazy, nor a pirate. at least according to his thoughts.*

Sunset half raised an eyebrow. 'A King??' She replied.

"of course. do you doubt it? my kingdom is the crimson tide. i welcome all aboard. as long as they remember who is king."
*he shook his mane out a little. this mist was terrible! at least the rain had quit.*

So, this stallion was a pirate. 'If you sail under pirate colours, have pirates as crew and are looking for more... pirates, i would be happy to join.' Sunset replied.

"as long as you realize that what i say goes. i've had problems in the past."
*he didn't figure there would be any problems with her, but he was raised a prince, and is really king of a drowned land. he has the attitude of one that is accustomed to be listened to.*

'I do. But in fights i act alone. As myself. I take no orders.' She wondered what position she would get on ship, but at least she had found a pirate ship again.

"that's agreeable. welcome aboard. the first mate will show you around and see what you know. he'll decide the best place for you."
