Roleplay posts: 2,238
Physical Description: =========================
Empress Naoki is a curvaceous woman of average height, indeterminate age, and catlike features. Her hair is a dark auburn, often pulled back into a long braid. Her ears are both soft and fluffy, and her tail is never less than perfectly groomed. Amber eyes glisten in the shadows cast by her hair.
Clothes and Equipment: =========================
Naoki's wardrobe is to her as a frame is to a painting. Sometimes embellished with detail to be attractive in its own right, but never the focus. Usually simple but elegant, tightly fitting and highly revealing, used only to frame the beauty within.
Additionally, Naoki is, when clothed, often adorned with a small collection of accessories. She wears an earring, a brilliant cut amethyst, in her right ear. The silver signet ring of Isra is worn on her left pinky, marking her as High Lady of Isra. Directly adjacent, she wears the golden signet ring of The Isran Empire as its Empress. On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Standing by as the sailors snap into action, Naoki seems pleased. Though she doesn’t personally agree with Gothmog’s methods of motivation, the efficiency is undeniable, and Naoki has never quite been one to worry too much about the means if the ends are to her satisfaction. Turning to eye the wildebeest and its rider as they approach, Naoki surmises that the woman must be Ying-Na of the Acacia, as no one else looking like she does would have any excuse to be here, on the docks. As Naoki hears, the woman is Jun’s mother and one of the very best archers in The Expanse. Also apparently a diplomat of some description, though Naoki finds that last bit somewhat harder to believe as she observes the woman. As Ying-Na approaches closer and completely ignores her, Naoki’s eyebrows wrinkle a bit in irritation. While she would have appreciated a formal introduction, some manner of acknowledgment would have sufficed. A nod. A wave, or a simple, ‘Hey’. But apparently not. Fine. Fair enough. Continuing to stand beside the gangplank silently, Naoki says nothing, leaving Gothmog to answer the woman’s question.

The sailors looked about in confusion. They did not know a damn thing about math. They were sailors, not scholars but they answered this brazen woman rather gruffly, unaware (most likely) or uncaring of who she was.
"Look Lady, we don't know a damn thing about anything being 'rated' exceptin' fer the wenches at the tavern and thats a 'yes' or a 'no'." They laughed at that, winking and nudging one another, before the self-designated spokesman piped up again. "But that beast of your's looks only a mite bigger than the Cap'n, so in my edumacated opinion, it can go up."
Gothmog listened to the conversation with one ear while his other ear and eyes were trained on the Lady Naoki, who was clearly displeased by something. He recognized who the ox-riding woman was, and he, in spite of his appearance, profession, pattern of speech, and mannerisms, did onow about how to conduct oneself amongst foreign dignitaries. And clearly the woman should have acknowledged the reigning ruler of the lands she was in, particularly as that ruler was six feet in front of her.

Ying-Na chuckled and placed her hands on her hips. "Oh, and what would you rate me in your edumacated opinion?" Her voice echoed a high level of confidence and assertiveness. Indeed, she seemed to have developed a rapport with the grungy crew. She felt she could relate to them better than most people in her demographic. She then started to cajole Indigo onto the ship.
Then, finally, at long last, the time had come for her to notice Lady Naoki standing just a few feet away from her. "Oh! High Lady! I didn't see you there! The sun was in my eyes. Although now that I look at you I guess that could also have been your armor. Shiny." She of course, in her infinite lack of dignitary wisdom, meant this as a compliment. She reached out a rough, leathery hand to shake Lady Naoki's. "Ying-Na of the Acacia Clan, husband of Raynor, Mother of Jun, and-" Ying-Na's eyes would suddenly scroll up towards the sky. A hand would suddenly fly from Ying-Na's side over Lady Naoki's shoulder, where a whitish substance would suddenly appear with a plop.
"-Catcher of bird droppings. Blech." She whipped out a scarf to wipe the droppings off, and then toss the soiled scarf overboard. "Might wanna wield a parasol." She gave a polite bow.
By now Lady Naoki would realize that foreign diplomacy was not this woman's strong-suite, although she certainly meant well in a down-to-earth, motherly sort of way. Indigo, sensing Lady Naoki's general good nature, would attempt to lick Lady Naoki's face amiably.

Opting not to verbally address Ying-Na’s compliment, Naoki instead extends her own gloved hand to shake the woman’s. Just as she’s opening her mouth to respond, Ying-Na’s other hand whips out to catch the bird droppings. Quite surprised, Naoki recoils to the side, thinking that she was about to be struck. Turning her head to see the bird droppings, she relaxes slightly and straightens.
Facing Ying-Na properly, Naoki returns her bow with a nod, and responds, “Likewise. Thank you. I’ve heard a lot about you, and look forward to our journey.”
As Indigo moves to go for some tongue action, Naoki places her palm on the length of his snout, gently pushes him down, and attempts to utilize her other hand- still gloved, to scratch at the top of his head.

The sailors did not respond to Ying-na's questio with anything more than another raucous bit of laughter and some poor attempts at crude humor. This finally brought the attention of their Captain to them, and one glare from Gothmog scattered the lot back to their duties in a clatter of rum bottles and canteens.
He was perhaps not the best moral compass, excepting for the fact that the ship was named the Depravity and the crew likely lived up to that name. However, they were effective and would work well as a team in spite of all their various vices.
"My apologies for that lot, they're all ballisters, best damn marksmen with those ballista I have ever seen, but their manners need improving for sure."

Ying-Na reached out and patted Captain Gothmog on the shoulder. "Then me and your crew have some things in common." She pulled out her brow and held it up proudly, before flipping it in midair and holstering it back. "Formalities were always my husband's thing. I myself don't like to play games. Either we're friends or we're not friends. But luckily I do try to err on the side of friendship."
Indigo nuzzled closer into Lady Naoki's bossom. Perhaps he sensed the feral nature in her. Or perhaps he found the warmth of her armor appealing. Warm shiny metal might feel a lot like a pool in the sun to an animal with poor color sense. But for whatever reason he had taken an instant liking to her. Ying-Na did nothing to discourage this behavior. If anything she found it even more amusing.
"Jun didn't give me a lot of details." She said the Naoki. "We're headed to Alban right? Our tree huggers have already been there, meeting their Fae or whatever you call them. But they seem to wanna keep the details of their lifestyle secret. I guess we're going to meet the other groups?"

“We are, yes.”
As she scratches, Naoki continues, “The purpose of the trip is twofold. Firstly, though their King Averin was able to sign The International Accord of Universal Rights and Protections on the behalf of his people, ‘his people’ only refers to the humans of Alban. Their Dwarves and Fae- the other two factions of Alban, have their own leaders, which need to sign the agreement themselves for it to be properly ratified across the country.”
Though clearly not in the mood for face-licking, Naoki permits Indigo to approach a bit closer, and transitions her scratching back to behind one of his ears, and down the length of his neck, figuring that he might take well to be treated in a similar manner to horses.
“And seeing as how I’ve never visited the nation ot met with the Dwarven or Fae leaders, rather than simply sending The Accords via a messenger to be signed and sent back, I’m leading this joint embassy sort of thing to go visit and have them sign it.”
“Also, this will double as the maiden voyage of my flagship, here.” With one hand, Naoki gestures toward the massive bulk of The Depravity behind them- as if there could be any doubt what she’s referring to.
“Our itinerary is flexible but looks something like this… We’ll depart in the next hour or so. It ought to take about three days of sailing to get from here to Alban. We will dock at their city of Avelius, perhaps briefly meet with Averin, and proceed from there inland to meet with the Fae and Dwarves in whichever order is convenient.” Though the eye contact she maintains with Ying-Na seems casual enough, Naoki watches to see how she takes to this information, if she considers it of any importance.

Gothmog grinned at the woman's comment. This was his kind of woman. Shame she was married though, it didn't particularly bother him but he imagined Naoki would have his head for trying to bang another head of state without her husband's consent. It wouldn't be the first time such a thing had happened, but it would be the first time it cost him his ship.

Ying-Na smirked at Gothmog and nodded before returning her gaze to the gracious cat girl before her.
"Well, near as I can tell, my job is to help protect you and, if I can, learn more about the people we're dealing with. I've never met Dwarfs and Fae before. Should be fun. Bet there are some decent archers among the Fae. Could use a little competition." Ying-Na decided that Naoki had had sufficient torment from Indigo and took over the responsibility of being the living salt-lick. She gently reached around and patted the creature's neck.
"Well then..." She yawned. "Let me know if we get attacked by pirates or something. Someone wanna show me my sleeping quarters? Also the stable for this guy."
As she observed Gothmog she noticed a certain look in his eyes. She was flattered, but surprised. She didn't know orcs could be into older human women. How interesting.

“That, yes, and also to act in some capacity as a representative of The Land Tillers’ State. Putting a bit of emphasis on the international and all but unanimous acceptance of The Accords is good- as is bringing a token representative of another nation.”
In hindsight, Naoki supposes that being told that your job is to be a bodyguard and token representative isn’t exactly the best thing to be told- but it’s the truth, and Ying-Na doesn’t strike Naoki as one who would want things sugarcoated.
Beyond that, however, Naoki is mostly unprepared to address Ying-Na’s questions. Though she had played a role in the design of the ship, it wasn’t a particularly involved one, and though she may be able to find her way about based on the plans, she isn’t sure of such specifics of what all has been finished and prepared for use. To this end, she addresses Gothmog with a simple question, “When will the ship be ready to depart?”

"Aye, I will show you both to your quarters once you are ready to board."
He waited for Naoki to finish, about to tell them when it would be ready when Naoki preempted himby asking that very question.
"In a few minutes, likely by the time I have shown you to your quarters. I had her take on most of the necessary provisions and such before we left the Yard, so once the last of the ammo is aboard we should be ready to go. Would you prefer to see the ox to the stables yorself or can one of my crew take him?"

Alli came at a pretty fast sprint up the dock, nimbly dodging and ducking the sailors hauling heavy equipment. The invitation to join Lady Naoki on this trip had come at the relatively last moment, leaving Alli with little time to pack, ut fortunately she had meager belongings, though she had managed to purchase an undisclosed dress on the way to the ship, as she previously had owned nothing fit for a possible meeting with a King.
She came to a halt right in front of the massive ox and next to Naoki, minorly out of breath.
"Hope I'm not late...holy shit. That is an absolutely massive ship. Magnificent."

Ying-Na easily shrugged off being called a token representative. "Psh, works for me. Not gonna lie, I'm a fan of the accords. We could use fewer assholes in the world."
She turned to the captain. "It doesn't matter what I prefer. It's a new environment. If he's gonna be stuck here a while it'd be best if I lead him there." Her words were punctuated by the massive creature's licks to her face. "Alright come on you big lug..."
Ying-Na would head into the ship before Alliandre made it to the docks. It had been a long journey and she was due for a nap. She'd give one last little sardonic smirk to the captain before disappearing though.

Turning to greet the last member of her group, Naoki responds, “Isn’t it, though?”
Taking a half step backward to stand with Alli, Naoki takes a moment to appreciate the ship anew. Beyond being a monument to naval engineering and the power of Isra’s industry, The Depravity also speaks to Naoki’s ability to have things accomplished. A year previous, she began toying with the concept of having a ship. Today, the finest warship to ever sail the known seas departs on its maiden voyage.
In any case, it’s about time to be boarding.
“You’re not late at all, it’s time to board.” Beckoning for Alliandre to follow, Naoki proceeds up the ramp and onto the ship. As much as she is excited to explore the ship and her quarters and such, she opts to remain topside long enough to see the ship leave port. To this end, she selects a position a short ways portside of the helm, which she figures would have a respectable view but not be in the way of anyone important.
Simultaneously, the Sun Marshal/Citadel Guard group would ferry aboard their respective items, and proceed to take them belowdecks to be put somewhere or another.
Once prompted, Naoki would confirm to Gothmog that as far as she’s concerned, they can leave whenever, and should do so as soon as the rest of the ship is ready.

Gothmog boarded immediately after the women, a hand-signal telling the few crew remaining on the deck that the ship was leaving imminently, and he had no qualms about leaving them behind.
He took his position at the helm of the ship, spending a few moments taking in everything, the sight of her sails and the gleam of her armor.
"Alrite lads, quarter sail until were out of port, then let her go! We got some important figures on board fer this trip, so watch yer language and mannerisms or I'll personally see you keelhauled next time we pass a reef!"
The ship slowly lurched from port, long poles potruding from the portholes pushing the Depravity away from the docks.

Alli follows Naoki up the gangplank with a smirk on her face, remembering well the last time she had followed that tail up somewhere. Now was likely not the time for such things though, and she nodded a greeting to the orc as well, remembering him as the captain that brought her to Isra.
She moves gracefully, the slight sway of the ship in the waves not appearing to affect her movements in the slightest. She takes a spot slightly behind and to the right of Naoki, watching as the ship maneuvers its way out of port.

On the inside of her left thigh, there is a tattoo depicting a rose entwined with tentacles.

Remaining in place as the ship pushes away from the dock and begins its journey out to sea, Naoki can’t help but feel more than a little smug, for the same reasons she appreciated the vessel. When she sails somewhere, she sails in a ten thousand ton warship the likes of which have never before sailed the known seas. Is it an inefficient way to use the Navy’s budget? Perhaps.
Perhaps.
But Shock and Awe is a legitimate doctrine, dammit, and making a ship of this class- just to make it, was a test of Isra’s manufacturing capabilities and the limits of today’s engineering. Pushing those limits is good, and… productive and such, and nobody has the authority to say otherwise.
However, there’s only so much to see on the weather deck of the vessel, so after The Depravity has well and truly left the port and seems to have reached its cruising speed if you will, Naoki nods a farewell to Gothmog before heading belowdecks, trusting Alli to follow.

The ship pulls away smoothly from the docks, its massive wake dumping a pair of boys into the sea from their rowboat, much to the amusement of the crew and their Captain.

Skarlet had arrived at the port, pulling luggage behind her. Her luggage included everything she needed for a big trip. She also had a crate moved here ahead of time which contained her stock of blood, this crate was well guarded so that it wouldn't be misplaced or stolen. She looked around for @quis's ship, Skarlet followed the instructions given to her and located where the S.S. Milo was docked, and she arrived on schedule.

(Ah, perfect, I wasn't able to make a post anyway.) The ship itself was a fairly large clipper painted bright red and pale brown. Half the sails were rolled up but the ones currently down had a strange symbol on them in black ink. Men could be seen packing crates onto the ship as the halfling from the day before was on the docks giving orders. She seemed only half interested in what was going on.
