The ship sailed smoothly over the vast sky. The captain was watching over the deck. He was old, almost 69. He was forgetful and cruel, and had a slur in his voice. While some members look upon him with annoyance, animosity, and hatred, the older members remember his glory. The ship reflected that, creaking. Jason didn't remember it's pristine condition, he was too young. He checked the gas, it was low, one of the many things in poor condition. He sighed, and went up above deck. The captain hated him now, lord knows why? He had been nothing but good to him. It annoyed him to the core. He looked around, to find some of his crew mates

Appearance: http://oi42.tinypic.com/mmq1c1.jpg

Gender: Female

Bio: Lydia was born in a nice family. She had everything she wanted. But when her mother died everything changed. Her father was drunk all the time, he started to hit Lydia and he forgot to take care of her. She could take care of herself but she wanted her father back. After many tries to help her father she gave up. She left the house and joined some Sky Pirates to help them. She wanted to do something really different and this was her chance. And she knew she could take the hard life as a pirate.

Expertise: Really good with any type of gun. Her sniper skills are almost perfect.

As Jason left the captains office, angry. He was punished for the 'failure to maintain ship...' He got so angry, as he went to the basement for his punishment, which was managing rations, he kicked a barrel, the contents rattling inside, and he went over to tinker with the gas tank, as it seemed that it needed more care....

Lydia was watching the city under the floating ship. It was fun to be so high up in the air. It gave her a feeling of freedom. She saw the boy -Jason- leaving the captains office. She never really spoke to Jason. But she wanted to know why he was so angry so Lydia followed the boy into the basement.

"Freaking numb-skull..." He mutters and looks at all the crap that he had just thrown on this thing. HE swore he saw Duct tape on the thing....and The captain has the nerve to blame it on him?

 

Meanwhile, across the sea, a ship made it way over the horizon, with the general at the helm. He heard the sound of footsteps, as one of his lackeys gave him a note. After reading it, He grinned. "I've finally found you, 'scourge of the air'…" He  told the navigators to set sail for the coordinates. He sat, In waiting for his vengeance....

"Everything okay?" Lydia asked the boy. She looked around. Lydia never been in the basement before. She thought it was a creepy place. All the dust and random stuff... she hated that. It reminded her of her home. Her father never cleaned the house. It was really dirty. Now, standing in the basement, Lydia was missing that dirty house. Okay, it was horrible to live in but it was still her home. She shook her head to forget about it. "Can I help you with something?" She asked

"It's nothing." He shrugged, and shook his head. "It's just so frustrating, Is all. He has so much....Neggg...Neggg....That thing the doctor says about lack of attention..."

"Oh... Hmm,I don't know. He looks nice" She looked at the boy and smiled. "You're Jason, right?" Her face turned red. She hoped he wouldn't see her as a stalker. "I heard some men talking about you. That's why I know your name" She said quick. It wasn't a lie. She heard them talking. But she knew his name before that happened. She looked around again and then pointed up. "I'm going back up. This place is creepy"

"I understand." He said, and kept tinkering, sweat dripping from his brow. This was going to be delicate work. He took out his rusty screw.

She went back upstais. Everyone had his job and she was just chilling. A little bit unfair. But whatever... Lydia sat down on in front of a window to see where they were. She saw another ship in the distance. But she didn't really care. She saw so many ships. It wasn't special anymore. She played a bit with her hair and then she fell asleep.

In the dead of night. All of the crew  was shaken by a thunderous sound, and the ship shook

Lydia woke up. "Woaah!" She looked around in panic."Its just a storm..." She stood up. She stood up and went to the bedrooms, hoping everyone was alright.

He woke up and looked around. The wind was strong and violent, as he had to dodge the wreckage the hull had taken from the storm.

Lydia fell down because the ship shook again. The storm was strong and it make her scared. She looked around because she didn't know what to do.

"GET DOWNSTAIRS!!!" He yelled as the ship rattles and shakes.  This is what he feared. He opened the door to the safe room downstairs.

Lydia did what he said. She entered the safe room. She was scared. But she didn't show it. "Is this just a storm?" She asked

"I made this in case the storm gets worse.... Doctor said it would help.." He looks at her, and nods. "We're in a dangerous place weather wise...."

"But we're safe if we stay here right?" Lydia calmed down and sighed. She looked at him and smiled.

He nodded. He actually didn't know if it was truly safe. But hey, as long as she felt okay.....

Lydia lays down and tried to sleep. She wanted this to stop. She hated storms. But who doesn't. She stared at the ceiling. This place wasn't cosy at all. "It's cold here" She said.

"Yea...." He looked at her. He had gotten used to it as a kid, and to  him, it was rather warm. He held her closer

"Thank you" she said. She was blushing a bit and she was hoping he didn't see that. Her eyes closed and she fell asleep.

He looked up, and fell asleep too

((Shall we proceed to the next day?))

(Yes...)

The sun comes up, and all is clear in the morning.
