Really, this is just an excuse for Star Wars/space opera-esque shipping.

[celebratory]

stowaway romance. You've hidden on a ship, be it the water or space variety! Maybe you're a stowaway sister on a Viking longboat, craving adventure and getting more than you expected. Maybe you're a farm boy from a distant planet trying to fulfill your cryptic, intergalactic destiny. You could the escaped daughter of the earl, climbing on board determined to get revenge! Who knows, you could be abducted by some madman in a blue box, not a stowaway at all! It's possible you couldn't afford passage on the ship... Or you just fell asleep when you were loading the hold, and woke up at sea or in the cosmos! Get found by someone - who may or not also be a stowaway, just like you. Or are you a dashing captain or lady pirate who's just found someone hidden in your cargo? At any rate, everyone will find more than they bargained for, because it's not just adventure on this ship's manifest: there's some attraction, too. - Frankensteined from an old meme on LJ. - Reply with your character, preferences, and what your setting is: pirate-esque or sci-fi. - Reply to others

[there may be a stowaway on the Millenium Falcon, though he was rather quiet, hiding in one of the many Millenium Falcon hideouts (what, it's smuggler's ship, bet there's more hiding places than shown). Maybe he could be even overlooked, because he was being rather quiet, but well, there's a lot of hatred in him. What does Rey do?]

Harry Osborn › Spider-Man

[goblinjr]

Cloud Strife | FFVII (crisis core)

[backwatertrooper]

[Intentional or accidental stowaway. Probably a boat or airship, but with a bit of an AU a spaceship could work too.]

Re: Cloud Strife | FFVII (crisis core)

[upadly_aniol]

[How about a pirate ship? Or pirate airship, or pirate spaceship... either works? With people as crazily powerful as Cloud]

[His new Captain, Motochika, hasn't exactly ordered Mitsunari to check every corner of the ship, every other hour, when there wasn't a battle. But Mitsunari did so anyway, as he had heard various tales about stowaways - and nobody would dare to disrespect his one and only Captain like that. Not for long, at least.]

[And so, upon hearing the slightest sound from under the floor---]

[He quickly sticks his sword there. No blood? Then it's not rats, rats would be too slow to escape his wrath.] Come out!

[axiompraxisprecept]

[[Either one is fine! His canon is sci-fi but it also includes what basically amount to space elves and dwarves sooo... either one is fine. lol. May or may not be the stowaway. Look, we're easy. Let's just have some fun!]]

[Voice Testing. Open to all. Stow away in the Black Lion? Or him on another ship, your choice!]

[Karla had searched the land high and low to find her brother, but she's had no luck. After wandering the land for the umpteenth time, Karla decided that she would need to travel abroad. Unfortunately, without the money to board a ship legally, Karla had no choice but to stow away.

After reaching the docks, Karla hopped into a crate and quickly closed herself in. So far the plan was going without a hitch; the crate was lifted onto the ship, and the ship began to set sail.]

All there was to do now is wait for the ship to dock again. As she waited, Karla began to daydream about her memories of her brother. After a while though, drowsiness began to take over, and she soon fell asleep.]

[stealing_ur_dust]

[Karla might or might not be awakened by the sound of the lid being removed from the crate. Even so, the obnoxious voice from above her ought to jar her back to consciousness.]

Ummmmmmm, Perry? Did we start importing human cargo?

We are not human traffickers,boss! I think she just snuck in. [The second voice belonged to a White Fang member who wore glasses over his mask.]

Ah, good. I was little concerned about how far down the bottom of the barrel we'd reached. [There would be the barrel of Melodic Cudgel pointed at your face when you open those eyes. And if you don't open them, a good nudge out to get you back to reality.] Rise and shine, stowaway! I'm on a tight schedule. Get up.

[swordprincess]

[Karla was indeed startled by the creak of the lid opening. She abruptly pulled herself into a sitting position within the crate. It took her a moment to remember where she was and what she was doing. Had she fallen asleep? And for how long?]

[She blinked at the people staring down at her. She wanted nothing more than to leap out and knock these people unconscious with her sword, but something about that cane pointing at her told her to stay put.]

[stealing_ur_dust]

I wouldn't, my dear.

[Roman couldn't read minds, but he could read body language. He'd made a survival skill out of it. Always good to know when someone was contemplating stabbing you in the back - or the face as it were. He nodded to the two animal flunkies with him and they made to drag her out of her crate.]

Search her weapons or other suspicious paraphernalia. [He sounded almost bored or as though he were used to issuing orders. But what was a girl doing hiding out on a ship packed with insurrectionists and, well, him?]

I don't suppose you brought any friends along, sweetheart? [Not waiting for an answer he barked at another one of his passing lackeys.] Search the ship. Make sure we don't have any other guests.

[swordprincess]

[Karla only squirmed in the flunkies' grip until they got her out of the crate, but she knew better than to exhaust herself with her struggles. If it didn't work, there was no use keeping it up.]

[She stared at the leader of the group with no particular emotions crossing her face, although her heart was pounding in her chest.]

No...it's only me, I assure you.

[stealing_ur_dust]

So you say. [If she were lying, he would find out soon. Assuming those incompetent idiots did their job right this time. Why Cinder insisted he work with these walking, talking, pets he'd never understand. Whatever. He just needed to get himself and Neo through this job and then things could go back to normal.]

You have a name, 'only me?' What are you doing on this ship and who are you working with? [Surely this wasn't one of Ozpin's best. Or his best was getting reeaallly sad.]

[swordprincess]

[Search the ship over, and they'd find that Karla really was alone.]

...I'm Karla. I'm not working with anyone...I merely needed to cross the sea. So feel free to drop me off at your next stop, and I'll be out of your way.

[It seemed like a simple request that would benefit both of them. She really isn't looking to get into any long term trouble.]

[stealing_ur_dust]

Yeah...when you're running an operation like mine, dear, you don't just take the person you find sneaking about your ship's word. [He stopped and contemplated for a moment.] Well, technically you were napping. Which either means you really are just some dumb girl or you're a huntress with a lot of nerve. Or a dumb huntress. But, I could speculate all day.

You have a last name, Karla? [He was good at gathering intel, but just a first name? That would be too little to work with even for him.] Are you heading home? It can't be to Vacuo. You're wearing too much for that.

[swordprincess]

[She gives a very light nod at the speculation, shifting uncomfortably in the lackeys' grip. Unfortunately, the "dumb girl" description seemed the most fitting out of these.]

Hmm...you're right, it was careless of me to fall asleep like that.

I don't have a last name...although the masses seem to know me as the Princess of Swords, if that helps...

[She doesn't seem too thrilled with the title herself.]

I have no particular destination either. I'm just looking for someone, and I wasn't going to find him by searching the same land over and over. So I'm hoping I'll have better luck abroad...

[stealing_ur_dust]

[He wasn't sure what he expected, but the utter calmness in which she explained her situation seemed to suggest she had no idea who he was. He was well known as the crime lord in Vale. Therefore, Roman knew she was not from his neck of the woods. That much was true. She was way too relaxed]

The masses? [He echoed this at her with a dubious look.] What, do you have fans or something? Is the 'Princess of Swords' a character in whatever tween pop band they have out nowadays? Geez, be more condescending Roman. He chuckled.

[swordprincess]

I suppose I do. It's just a title given to me in recognition of my skill with the blade...since most don't know my real name...

[It was true that she had no idea who he was...and she was somewhat surprised that the Princess of Swords title didn't ring a bell for him. They were definitely from different necks of the woods.]

[She looked at him closely, as if studying him. She had a passing curiosity about who he was, but didn't bother asking. It didn't matter anyway. Once she reached the shore, she'd move on, and likely never see him again.]

[stealing_ur_dust]

[Just then the ship stalled and there was a loud bump. Torchwick merely growled in annoyance.] Now what?

[To his lackeys]Throw her into a holding cell while I go take care of that. I'm done leaving anything to chance with you people.

[To the stowaway of the year.] Sorry, sweetheart, but you aren't going anywhere just yet. I might have need of you.

[swordprincess]

[Karla perked up at the sound, her eyes wide. What was that?]

[She gave Roman an incredulous look of her own when he announced his plans to keep her.]

What...?

[Now she began to squirm, trying to pull herself free from the lackeys' grip.]

[stealing_ur_dust]

[Oh cute. She thought she could get away. Have fun with that, Karla the Sword Princess.]

[ooc: Can we assume he tossed her in a cell. He will return shortly.]

[He waved mockingly as he went to check out what was happening above.]

[swordprincess]

[Karla's struggles continued until she was ultimately thrown into the holding cell. At that point, there wasn't anything she could do. They had to come back at some point. All she could do was wait and ponder.]

[ooc: I'm assuming they also took her sword?]

He's such an ass, I'm so sorry XD

[stealing_ur_dust]

[Well, there's no way he'd let her keep that.]

[A moment later a short, female deer faunus appeared with a scroll, and switched the video on. Roman waved from the video feed. "Hello, again Karla! So sorry to bother you, but these gentlemen aren't the brightest cops around and I had to show them that I wasn't bluffing when I said I had a hostage. Say hi!"

There might be a slight pause for her to say something if she chooses, but just slight.

"You son of a -"

"Now, now, you're in the presence of a lady. Watch your language." Roman admonishes the policeman before the feed cuts off.]

No, keep it up. XD

[swordprincess]

[Throughout the whole video feed, Karla was utterly speechless. She stared at it even after it was cut off, her eyes wide and her mouth hung open slightly. Policemen? Hostage? Was this guy a criminal of some kind?]

[She couldn't let him use her as a hostage. More importantly, she needed to resume her journey. She needed to retrieve her sword and escape from this ship as soon as possible.]

[Once she had been left alone again, she managed to pry out a few pins from her sash. With those, she began picking at the locks carefully, until she heard the clicks of the door unlocking. Finally, she creeped out of the cell as quietly as she could, sneaking along the corridors to search for her sword. And who knew where these thugs were stashing it...?]

Karla | Fire Emblem | OTA

[swordprincess]

[Pirate ship setting, most likely the stowaway.]

Emerald Sustrai | RWBY | ota

[unhappy]

[ 99% chance she is the stowaway. She'll have to be caught off guard too, so probably assume she's found sleeping. Pirate or sci-fi both OK. Or both at the same time, RWBY rolls between fantasy and sci-fi in general. ]
