Luna looked up to Emery and called out to them, "How close are we to Port Minith?"

(Just to try and get it started again.)

Emery glanced at Luna in acknowledgment. They had studied the maps they kept in their cabin, and looking at the faint smudge of land ahead of them now, Emery could get their general position. “I’d say we’ve got 52 nautical miles to go, Captain.”

"Great," Tori replied, walking up behind Emery and Luna. "52 more miles to go." The woman gripped the railing, her hands shaking. "I'll be alright. I think."

"52 miles, so another day at sea?" Luna asked looking at her navigator before turning to her first mate. She cracked a soft smile as she told her, "Are you sure? I know your history with the kingdom is shoddy at best."

Tori managed a weak smile. "I'll be fine, don't worry. It's just bad memories, they're all behind me now." She took a few deep breaths, and did her best to stop her hands shaking.

"Very well," Luna nodded as she watched Tori. Her look softened a little before firming up again, "Though if you don't feel like going ashore than feel free to stay on the boat."

“Should be another day at sea, yes…” Emery murmured as they began tapping their foot again. They didn’t know much about Tori’s past, but they knew a thing or two about bad memories. They grew quiet as they tried not to remember them, or imagine the ship going down in a storm. Emery followed Tori’s example and took a deep breath, inhaling the ocean air.

(I hope you don't mind me reusing this sample! I sent it to another person for another RP, for context.)

Olympus Court. What a place to live. For Edward, it was something of a personal hell, but he saw the appeal to some. It was the kind of place you go to vacations for, and sure, it got busy during the wintummer season, but after that? Closed for business.

Well, legal business. The place had the highest crime rate in the system, and that's saying something for a tiny planet like this. And he happened to be involved in that crime rate.

"Dory, love, I simply do not have the god. Damn. Time. For your bullshit!" the fake smile was dripping from his voice and through the comms. "I told you, my services are exclusive to the Court and I don't need you messing up my career. Again."

"Oh, Eddie dearest," they grinned, "I must have you at this party! Just for a night. All expenses paid, and I know you enjoy getting your hands dirty. My clients have a forgetfulness problem, I need you to… give them a strong reminder."

"The last strong reminder I gave got my hand chopped of by the Emperor of Venus. Forgive me if I'm hesitant."

Name: Min Abell
Nicknames: Minnie
Age: (16+) 19
Gender/Pronouns: Trans woman, she/her
Sexuality: disaster lesbian
Job on Ship: (Ask me for a spot first) Entertainer
Kingdom of Origin: Pearl
Appearance: Min has thin, deep set dark brown eyes like wells of the deep sea. She is 5'8", a little chubby, and light on her feet, her wavy black hair long and swaying in the wind. Her skin tone is olive with copper undertones, and she has a scar running down along the side of her cheek and is well built and physically strong.
Usual Outfit: A billowing white ruffled shirt, a brown skirt, and khaki colored pants along with tons of jewelry.
Preferred Weapons: None, preferably. But if it comes to it she's good with dual knives and hand-to-hand combat, and is incredibly efficient.
Preferred Crystal: White/light crystal, for the potential it would have for entertainment, like light shows and so on. Also blinding/pacifying your enemies. Also green, for it's healing potential, but ultimately she'd choose light.
Personality: Very soft spoken, but opinionated all the same. Min is bright, often bringing happiness to those around her and loving to hang around people and make them smile. She has a bit of a problem with that though, she bases her entire self esteem on other's opinions of her and if they so much as don't laugh as hard at a joke than she'd expect, she'll totally break down inside. But she's also stubborn, and won't let anyone see her cry.
Background: (Optional.) Will be slowly revealed through the story.
Other?: Min is skilled in nearly all forms of entertainment and loves singing and dancing.

Sample:
Eira sighed, her cheek in her hand. She couldn’t believe that she was about to have to endure another week with her “fiancé”. She had done her best to remain neutral once her parents had told her, but she could not stand Prince Sergei. He wasn’t a horrible person, exactly, but he was not someone that Eira could see herself spending the rest of her life with. Maybe that made her sound like a spoiled princess, and much as she hated to admit it, maybe that was exactly what she was.

Glancing up from her stationary and ink, Eira wondered how easy it would be to sneak out, just for a few hours. She wouldn’t be missed until dinner, when her presence was expected, and she could probably get back by then. The world outside the window was white with snow, the fat flakes being whirled around in the wind.

Name: Bastien St.Vincent
Nicknames: none
Age: 20
Gender/Pronouns: male, he/him
Sexuality: bisexual
Job on Ship: General crew member, fighter
Kingdom of Origin: Ruby
Appearance: Bastien has thick, wavy chocolate brown hair which he keeps on the shorter side, but just long enough to give him a windswept look. He has a complexion the color of light mocha which is covered in freckles, and dimples that come out when he smiles. He has a round-ish nose and hazel eyes that light up when he gets excited about something (usually when everyone is in mortal danger). He’s a bit taller than average at 5’ 10” and is in decent physical shape (though still a bit scrawny). He has long limbs and fingers that are probably more suited to playing the piano than being a pirate. Honestly a bit of mess.
Usual Outfit: Whatever he can find in his messy cabin, but typically something like a hastily buttoned off-white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, coffee brown trousers, and a belt. He also always wears his favorite brown combat boots that give him an extra inch or two in height.
Preferred Weapons: He has a bit of weapons obsession with a collection of knives and guns, as well as one sword (he is a pirate, after all). His favorite weapon to use is a revolver that he always has on him (though at any given time he has a small arsenal). He can also fight hand-to-hand but not as well. His swordfighting skills are his worst of combat, and they are okay at best.
Preferred Crystal: Mostly clear, red
Personality: Bastien likes to think he’s funny and the life of the party, but he can also be whiny and a bit of an asshole sometimes. He likes flirting and sarcasm, as well as talking the ear off of anyone who will listen. He has a lot of thoughts and emotions and isn’t afraid to share them whenever he feels like it, whether the others want to know or not. He can actually be quite charming at times and is usually more nice than not, but gets annoyed kind of easily. Bastien can be a bit of a drama queen, but he deeply cares about the others and keeps (mostly) quiet when it’s important, though even in serious situations he will crack a joke or two. Kind of a himbo.
Background: I’ll develop it in the rp
Other?: i want him to be hardcore crushing on someone in the crew but idk who yet lol
