## Plot

**You are now experiencing the story in third-person**

At the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge*, Mia and Zachary are seen chatting and laughing together, but suddenly a splash of water came on them. They both checked to see what caused the splash and when they saw Natalie hopping around, Zachary scolded her and told her to stop. Believing she upset the two, Natalie asked Zachary why she shouldn’t hop, who sighed and told her that there are pirates in their ship. He explained that pirates have an obsession on mermaids and other sea creatures, that if they spotted her in that form they will hung her down and hang her as a trophy, so it is better for her to keep a low profile unless she wanted to get killed. Suddenly, Zachary and Mia hear footsteps approaching them and immediately told Natalie to duck under water but were relieved to see that the person approaching them was just Captain Zhāngjié and behind him, in a distance were Niilo Hämäläinen and two other soldiers. Zachary questioned Captain on what he wants from them where Captain told him that he came to thank them for the rescue, but also to ask them why is Anne Bonny and her crewmen in their ship. Zachary sighed and explained that Anne may have agreed to them go, however they agreed on a price for their freedom and that before going back to Graecita, they’ll be heading to an island called Sarpedon, which is located near Spain and Portugal. Curious, Captain asked why are they heading there and when Mia said that they’ll be hunting for Medusa, Niilo screamed and panicked. While the other soldiers were teasing Niilo, Zachary and Mia heard a lot of noise coming near the ship cabins and decided to go in and see what is going on.

Zachary and Mia went inside the ship where they saw Mary holding her anger while Hasuro was yelling at Anne Bonny’s crewmen. When Mia asked what is going on, Hasuro grit his teeth and revealed that Bonny’s men are throwing away their stuff and taking over their cabins. Mia did not like this and told Mary to do something about it, but Mary reminded her of the deal and if they wanted to return to Graecita with the soldiers, they must abide by Anne’s terms. While the pirates were taking over Yoyo, Mia and Hasuro’s rooms, Madelina is in hers, dressing up Chet with Chase being there to give his opinions on the outfits she’s put together and Ophelia is packing to move into the orlop with Zachary and Maverick. Suddenly, the pirates barged in her room and starting messing with her stop. Pissed, Madelina went to scold them and one of the pirates grabbed a ping-pong bat, wondering what it is for. Madelina caught that pirate and grabbed the bat off his hand to show him what it’s for, pulling out a ping pong ball and started to bounce it. The pirates stared at amusement and one of them stared at Madelina’s bum and started clapping her cheeks. Madelina wasn’t noticing, but Chet did and it made him furious that he bravely stood up for her and smacked off the pirate’s hand. Ophelia, being against sexual harassment of any kind, interfered too and a fight broke out in the room. Anne Bonny suddenly entered and stopped the fight and asked what was going on. She heard the story and instead of holding her crew accountable, she decided punish Ophelia, Madelina and Chet by giving them a long list of chores to do for the rest of the week. Madelina tried to protest, claiming that she had no involvement in the fight, but Anne still blamed her, saying that she “provoked her men” to misbehave, and for trying to argue with her, she gave her double the chores Ophelia and Chet were given. While Anne was dealing with those three, the rest of the team started discussing where they would sleep now that they lost their rooms and Mia agreed that she and Zachary should go down the orlop and hang more hammocks for their friends where they would sleep temporarily until Anne and her pirates leave. While they were at the orlop, they noticed something off with one of the rum barrels and when they come closer, they found a pirate drowning his face into the barrel and when they checked his pulse, he was bot breathing.

*You are now playing as Mia Loukas*

Zachary and Mia were shocked to learn that they allowed a murderer into a ship and while they were talking, Mary walked in on them to check how they’re going and was surprised to see a dead body on the orlop. The duo interrogated her and from speaking with her, they learned that the man is called Calico Jack, a name they instantly recognized as the former captain of *The William* and the husband of Anne Bonny. Zachary and Mia decided to investigate the murder, suspecting Anne Bonny, who was mad and immediately pointed fingers at the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge* crew, and they found reasons to suspect Anne Bonny’s gunner, Cordaro. While the duo were recapping the case, they heard their friend, Natalie scream and immediately rushed to the main deck, praying that Anne Bonny’s crewmen hadn’t saw her.

When Zachary and Mia went to check on Natalie, they were relieved to see that she was not captured by Anne Bonny’s crewmen and the reason why she was screaming is because Vicci’s hook accidentally caught on her hair while he was fishing. After freeing Natalie from the hook, the duo decided to interrogate Vicci as they found it suspicious that he wasn’t with the rest of the soldiers whilst Captain was talking to them. When asked where he was, Vicci explained that he is rather introverted and prefers to spend his time alone, drinking rum and when he heard of Jack’s death, he was shocked, saying that he saw him just a couple of minutes ago at the ship’s kitchen, in perfect state. Zachary and Mia decided to investigate the kitchen, finding reasons to suspect *The Williams*’ cook, George Turbot and learned that Jack made racist jokes on Cordaro, comparing him to an ape and suggesting that he name his pet lemur “Cordaro”, describing her (the lemur) as his “twin”. They also learned that Jack felt emasculated by Anne Bonny and demanded that she step down as captain and let him “wear the pants” again. While Zachary and Mia were discussing the murder again, they heard a lot noise coming from the kitchen and decided to see what’s going on.

When Zachary and Mia entered a knife came flying to them that barely missed Zachary’s head and they George Turbot chasing away Lola, Cordaro’s lemur, who was stealing the fruits. Cordaro eventually came to rescue Lola from George’s wrath, allowing the duo to investigate the kitchen where they discovered that Jack had feelings for Mary back when she was serving him and that George served Jack a bowl of poisoned soup after growing tired of his constant critiquing of his food. They also found out that before the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge* arrived to Clew Bay, Jack had brought prostitutes to *The William* and wanting a good experience, he forced Vicci to sleep with them against his will, to make them thirsty before Jack carries on “the work”. Eventually, the killer turned out to be Cordaro according to the evidence.

Cordaro acted shocked and confused by the allegation, claiming that he would never kill his “best mate” but after the evidence was presented to him, he was forced to confess, revealing that he killed Jack as he was plotting to assassin Anne. Cordaro explained that Jack was growing irritated being ordered around by Bonny and the teasing he’s been receiving from their fellow crewmen over him allowing his wife to “boss him around”. However, he never dared to open up to Anne until last week when a prisoner laughed at him for letting Anne “emasculate him”. This seriously angered Jack who didn’t like how low he “fell in grace” and confronted Anne, begging her to let him run the ship again and when she refused, he gathered his loyalest friends to plot a mutiny, Cordaro being one of them. Cordaro didn’t hate Anne but he held Jack in high regard so he agreed on the plan and the rest did too, as just like Jack they were tired of having a woman as their boss. However, after spending days thinking about it, Cordaro realized that the mutiny wasn’t a good idea as he didn’t want to be forced into killing his crew mates and so he tried to talk sense into Jack. But Jack refused to call off the plan as it’ll make him look cowardly and when Cordaro threatened to tell Anne, Jack laughed at him, claiming that Anne wouldn’t believe him as its his words over her husband. Cordaro knew this was true and decided against telling Anne, thinking of other ways to stop the mutiny. Fast forward to today, the pirates were having lunch at the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge* and suddenly Jack got sick from drinking his soup. Cordaro took him to the orlop to rest and the two started drinking rum together and it didn’t take a lot of jugs for Jack to get drunk. Cordaro looked at the dizzy Jack and at the rum barrel they were drinking from and this is when Cordaro thought the best way to stop the mutiny is by killing Jack and he drowned him in the rum barrel. Zachary and Mia took Cordaro to Anne for judgement, who was offended that Cordaro thought she stood no chance in the mutiny and decided to punish him by locking him up in the ship’s cells until they are done with the quest and come back to *The William*. Suddenly, a pirate barges onto Anne’s cabin and when she demanded to know why he’s here, he told her that the crew found a mermaid in the sea.

Once she heard that her crew caught a mermaid, Anne got excited and headed to the main deck, Zachary and Mia however were worried and followed her, praying that they haven’t caught Natalie. Unfortunately, when they stopped they saw two pirates pulling a net with Natalie trapped inside, with their friends all standing in silence and worry. Anne grinned when she saw the mermaid and looked at her face, which she thought looked familiar but was unable to piece the puzzle and figure out it was the Natalie she met back in Clew Bay. Once she was done observing Natalie, she told the two pirates that caught her, Jorge and Agwé to take her in the ship and stuff her so she could take her with her as a trophy. This made the *Hamilton Laurent’s Revenge* crew panick, as they didn’t want Natalie to die but Madelina, who was cleaning the deck, remained calm, telling Zachary and Mia to meet her at the orlop as she has an idea how to save Natalie. Mia was about to follow Madelina and Zachary but was stopped by Mary, who told her that Anne would like to talk with them.

Mia followed Mary to the captain’s cabin, in order to speak with Anne. When Mary asked Anne why she wanted to see them, Anne revealed that Mia and Zachary found out that Cordaro was Jack’s killer and from him, she learned that her late husband was plotting a mutiny against her. Mary pretended to be horrified by this idea and showed false concern toward Anne, asking her who were the crewmen involved in that plot. Anne crossed her arms and admitted that this is why she called them as she wanted them to find out the traitors’ identities. After receiving that order from Anne, Mia and Mary decided to speak with Cordaro and asked him where did Jack’s loyalists meet up to discuss the mutiny and when he revealed that they met at the orlop, they rushed there and started searching the place where they found a torn piece of paper. The duo fixed the paper and it turned out to be an illustration of the plot and there were only five names out of Anne’s fourteen crewmen, which included Jack and Cordaro. They then gave the paper to Anne, who was relieved to see that she only had to deal with three treacherous members and make them walk the plank.

Despite their wariness of whatever strings Madelina’s pulling, Zachary and Mia agreed to meet with her, wanting to take any chances to save Natalie’s life. When Zachary asked her what was her plan, Madelina giggled and revealed that while she was cleaning the shed, two pirates entered and she immediately hid inside a chest to eavesdrop on them. Unexpectedly, the two pirates kissed and soon they started taking off their clothes and making out and being a gay fetishist, she pulled out her point-and-shoot camera and took a pic of them. Ignoring her weeb fetish, Zachary asked what that had to do with Natalie, Madelina revealed that the two pirates she caught were the ones who captured Natalie and were told by Anne to stuff her. She went on to explain that unlike the present, homosexuality was illegal in the 18th century and even among law breakers, it was considered a taboo so they can easily use the photo she shot to blackmail Jorge and Agwé into freeing Natalie and take the blame. Zachary was not comfortable with the idea of outing a queer person, no matter what generation they come from, but seeing that Natalie’s life’s on the line, he asked Madelina for her camera. But before she could reach her back pocket, she felt someone grabbing her bum and when she turned she saw Lola the lemur hopping around, holding a camera by her tail. Madelina tried to grab it from her, but Lola ran off with the camera to the gunning deck. Zachary, Madelina and Mia followed her there and started searching for, finding her in the hole of one of her canons, taking selfies. Lola tried messing around with all of them, but then Mehitabel came out of nowhere and scowled at her, scaring off the lemur who dropped the camera. Madelina managed to save the camera and patted Mehitabel, before trying to open the camera, getting angry when she realized the lemur somehow put a passcode on the camera. Zachary and Mia decided to carry things from then on and Mia managed to unlock the camera, giving it to Zachary who looked through the many selfies of Lola until he found the photo of Jorge and Agwé kissing. After finding the photo, they rushed toward the two pirates, who were just about to kill Natalie and demanded that they stop. Jorge started arguing with the duo, until Zachary showed him an Agwé a picture of them making out. The two pirates got so embarrassed, they asked Zachary and Mia to hide it, which they agreed too if they cast their friend, Natalie to the sea. Jorge and Agwé were hesitant as that would make Bonny angry, but they knew whatever punishment she’d have for them won’t be as severe as what she’s do to them if she learned they were homosexuals and threw Natalie back at the sea, agreeing that when Anne confronts them, they’ll tell her that the mermaid struggled against, managed to free herself and jumped to the ocean herself. Once Jorge and Agwé were gone to tell Bonny their excuses, Zachary and Mia checked on Natalie to ask her if she’s fine and after she thanked them for saving her, Zachary told her that next time she needs to take their warnings seriously.

It was nighttime and the team went into the kitchen to have dinner where the first thing they saw was Madelina smashing clams with her rolling pin, while Ophelia and Chet were helping George with cooking dinner. George could bot focus from the noise Madelina was making, grabbed the rolling pin from her and tried to teach her how to properly open the clam, but Madelina decided to give up and let George do the work. George protested and reminded her that Anne gave her chores to do, but Madelina simply rolled her eyes and told George she doesn’t care what Anne has to say and she could kiss her ass for all she cares. Madelina then started talking with her friends and then stared at Chet, and wanting to test his feelings for her, she decided to make him jealous by flirting with Zachary and asking him how things are going on with his girlfriend. When Zachary revealed that he and Maylin broke up, she gasped and comforted him, saying that what happened was probably the “blessing”. Zachary looked at her with fury and asked her how his girlfriend breaking up with him is a “blessing”, where Madelina suggested that Maylin did not even love him. This suggestion surprised Zachary and he refused to consider the idea but Madelina asked him him if Maylin truly loved him then why did she break up with him as soon as her daughter died. Madelina explained that it’s not a secret that every mother wants her child to have a father figure, whether he’s biologically related to the child or not. She admitted that it’s possible Maylin was attracted for him, but the attraction was probably not enough to last them 8 years and the only thing holding the relationship together was Lizzie and now that the child is out of the picture, Maylin no longer needed Zachary. This made Zachary question if Maylin did actually love him and while he was thinking about it, Madelina started flirting with him, which caught Mia’s attention and angered her. Madelina then suggested that Zachary move on before Maylin does and he needs to find himself a “real woman”, and when she said tjose two words, her *beats* speakers started playing a song called *Real Womxn* by Nathalie Cappuccino, which startled Chet and made him burn his hand with a fryer. While Madelina rushed to aid Chet, Mia went up to Zachary and comforted him, telling him not believe whatever Madelina is saying as she’s “full of shit”. George decided to check Chet’s wound, rolled his eyes and told him to go back to work, but Madelina refused to have Chet do chores while he’s injured and made him have a seat and wait for dinner for the others while she will take over his work. As Chet was taking a seat, Anne suddenly entered the kitchen, whilst yelling at both Jorge and Agwé. She took a seat and Mary asked her why she was pissed off, in which she revealed that the two pirates “accidentally” freed the mermaid they caught. Anne then noticed Chet sitting on the dining table and yelled at him, demanding to know why he isn’t doing his chores, in which Madelina intervened by putting her arm on her hips and admitting that she told him to rest. Anne turned her attention to Madelina and sternly asked her who told her she’s allowed to give orders here. This caused an argument between the two over Chet’s injury and while the pirates where distracted, Ophelia decided to sneak some food to Natalie. The argument eventually ended after Madelina told Anne that she doesn’t own the ship, she has no right to give orders for anyone outside her own crew, that neither she or Chet will do chores for her and before she left the kitchen, she referred Anne as “Anne Rodent” (Since her last name sounds like “bunny” which are types of rodents). That insult infuriated Anne who tried to attack Madelina but was restrained by Mary and Zachary and Madelina did a hair flip as she and Chet were leaving the kitchen door. After Anne calmed down, she suggested Mary to teach Madelina a lesson on respect because if she keeps acting that way she will call the deal off, but Mia intervened and told her that Madelina isn’t even a part of the crew. Yoyo did not like what she heard and tried to correct Mia but Mia glared at her to play along. Mia then explained that Madelina is what she’d call a “charity case”, that the only reason she’s on the ship is because she needed a place to stay at and once she finds herself a new home, she’s never going to step foot on the ship again. Chet heard that from behind the kitchen door and turned to Madelina to see if she heard that and caught her crying as she runs to her cabin and he follows her to give her comfort.

Meanwhile at Graecita, it was nighttime. Jennifer is sewing in her estate, while the rest of her godsisters were comforting Gina, who was crying over her boyfriend’s capture. Suddenly a knock came from the door and Jennifer got up to see who it was, surprised to see her friend Kaleb and Norah asking her if they could stay the night with her. Jennifer allowed the two in and noticing they haven’t eaten anything all day, decided to cook them some dinner. While Jennifer was cooking, Kaleb overheard Gina crying over her boyfriend, Niilo and recognizing the name as a recent army recruit, he asked Gina why is she dating him. Norah, who was holding her anger, stood up for Gina by telling Kaleb that he has no right to tell someone who they should love when he’s sleeping with her sister. Wondering why she was so pressed over this, one of the Aphrodite daughters questioned her anger, making Norah reveal that her sister was dead for 8 years, a revelation that made Jennifer drop her brush. After hearing that, Jennifer glared at Kaleb and asked to speak with him privately and when they made it to her room, she told him to sit down and explain what Norah was saying downstairs. Kaleb sighed and told her exactly what it is: That Yvette’s body was never buried and he’s been committing necrophilia for the past 8 years. Kaleb waiting for Jennifer to freak out, but she simply sighed and told Kaleb she knew he never moved on after Yvette’s death, but she didn’t expect the situation was that bad. Kaleb looked away from her, guiltily and was about to leave but Jennifer told him to stay. Jennifer then starting taking off her dress and when Kaleb asked her what she was doing, Jennifer smiled and told him that she may not get him to move on from Yvette, but she knows how to “fix” him and it is about time that he got laid. But when Jennifer approached him and tried to kiss him, Kaleb slapped her and told her to back off. Realizing what he did, Kaleb tried to apologized but Jennifer smiled and asked him if there’s someone he has in mind. Kaleb blushed and denied it but Jennifer insisted that he tells her where he revealed that he slept with Marionette during the night of Graecita’s national day. When Jennifer suggested that he get with her, Kaleb refused saying that as much as liked her, he isn’t allowed to fall in love with her and when Jennifer asked what’s stopping him, Kaleb told her his prophecy. Jennifer was shocked when she heard it and Kaleb started crying, saying that he’d never dream of having a girl suffer the same fate as Yvette and because of that he swore he’d never fall in love with anyone but her, to avoid causing anymore death. Jennifer understood Kaleb’s reason but she told him he and Marionette do not have to get married, but Kaleb simply sighed and told her he tried to cheat his prophecy with Yvette, it failed and he won’t try to play around with it again. He then got up from Jennifer’s bed and went out of the room.
