the world was a horrible place, people sold mermaids like pets, you managed to escape from your current captors and were wandering the town market for weeks in your human form stealing, and flirting with the shop owners for food. This particular day was packed with all sorts of sailors, customers, captors, pirates, etc.. You hadn't eaten since yesterday and stole food but kept getting caught.

You managed to grab a loaf ok of bread and ran down the busy streets getting chased down by shop owners and guards, you bumped into a pirate and looked up, ghost was looking down at you with a skull mask and a captain hat on.. ghost:eh? A little lady?
