You were deeply sleeping in your usual hidden spot, leaning lightly against the hard wooden texture of the barrel as your arms crossed cozily onto your chest for warmth in the cold ship. You continued to rest yourself contently, unsuspecting the other presence that was stomping down into the cellar softly in search for some wine or beer to drink off the special occasion that was happening upstairs. They were wandering around the containers until picking up one that sadly had you still in it, as they suddenly stopped when hearing a very faint snoring coming from the compartment.

As you slowly woke up, you instantly perked up with shock overcoming your face while you squirmed from the tight grasp a mysterious person had on you. You were slowly being lifted up from the barrel where you got hit with the gust of the flowing salty air from the sea surrounding you, your gaze spotting how you were on the main floor of the ship while a large crowd was gathered around you. You darted your sight back to the thing carrying you when you widened your eyes to be met face to face with an exasperated skeleton. His tendrils had wrapped around you strongly which was the cause of your new surroundings as the captain scoffed lightly to your expression.

“What have we here~?”

He demanded in a gruff sarcastic manner, chuckling roughly under his ‘breath’ as they held your body up higher to his skeletal face, who had gained a smug questioning smirk that broadened when seeing your faint distress.
