ROLEPLAY HQ - sky-above

Sangwoo Lee, a very well known collector and admirer of sea and ocean creatures and objects alike, was currently at sea on a warm-ish Friday morning. Today was perfect, it was warm, had a good breeze and the ocean looked absolutely stunning for Sangwoo. He stayed on the side of the boat, leaning over the edge as he watched the many fish and even some dolphins swim by them. As he watched, someone from the crew of pirates came to him and broke his trance by saying "Excuse us, boss, but we're about to pass by one of the siren's lairs, it is dangerous around here, you need to go below deck." Those words caught his interest however, especially the word siren. "A siren, you say? Intresting... Oh so intersting...~" He spoke, mostly to himself. "Change of plans. I want a siren." He spoke, causing the pirate and crew mates to look at him with disbelief. It took a while before they gave in and allowed him and some of the stronger crew mates to stay on deck, though everyone except Sangwoo had nearly invisible earplugs. Why did Sangwoo not have them? Simply because he was curious. Curiosity killed the cat after all, no? As they reached the siren's territory, he stood next to the edge of the boat, hands on the railing as he kept his eyes pealed, trying to spot the siren. @Matcha Latte MJ🍵

He saw the ship long approaching before they saw him. Axenus knew from the start when the human ship had entered their territory. He had been laying on one of the smaller rocks cliffs surrounding his territory, keeping a close eye out on them. Once they were close enough he slipped back into the water so the humans wouldn't be able to see him approach below the deep blue waves of the ocean. The siren didn't fear nor did he feel the cold of the water which had surrounded him since the moment he'd opened his deep blue eyes. With his strong black tail that replaced the legs of humans from the waist down he shot through the cold water of the sea, towards the ship, his prey. Stealthy and unnoticed, he approached from the side of the ship, barely remaining under the surface to observe the railing of the deck for a moment. Slowly sticking his head out of the water, the siren hid his long sharp teeth and claws to appear as human as possible for now. Though he wasn't able to hide his fin like ears under his loose white hair. He listened for a moment for any signs of humans on deck, yet it was silent. There only seemed to be one human on deck near the railing. That was a start at least. Not revealing himself to the human yet, he remained on the other side of the ship for now when he soon began to sing... "Upon once summer's morning, I carefully did a stray Down by the Walls of Wapping, where i met a sailor gay Conversing with a bouncing lass, who seemed to be in pain Saying William, when you go, I feel you will never return again" His voice rang deep and beautiful through the air around the ship, clearly audible for every member of the crew to hear. Axenus himself had heard this particular song many times, often sung by the sailors themselves.

He did not completely understand the meaning of it, but it had to be a song of mourning, something that had to remind him of home, something familiar. Soon every human on this ship would be under the spell of his siren's song, unable to withdraw their senses from his deadly lullaby… "My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold…" @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo hummed, slowly growing more and more bored as he saw nothing but ocean and the occasional standing out rock or fish. He sighed, closing his eyes and turning around to lean back against the railing. That’s when he heard it. Clear as day despite such strong wind in this area, a lullaby. A sailor’s song. He blinked, looking around before approaching the other side of the boat. His hands trembled a bit as he did his best to hold back from jumping in and basically killing himself, but he remained there, staring at the siren. “Oh how beautiful you are..~“ he commented, staring at the siren with fascination all over his eyes. As the song went on, he slowly lost more and more control, until eventually, he sat on the railing, facing the water, looked back at the tied up captain driving the boat who was shaking his head violently at him, before just pinching his nose and jumping off the boat, letting himself plunge rather deep. He held his breath the best he could. Eyes slightly opening, though remaining squinted from the salt in the ocean harming his eyes as he looked around for the siren. He couldn’t see much other than blurry blobs, so he just went with instinct and began swimming forward

Of course, Axenus knew that the human was unable to resist his call. Those eyes, filled with fascination and curiosity towards his kind, caught by the siren's gaze. Swimming a little backwards, he gave the human a little smile as he opened his arms as if he wanted to beam him into his embrace. "My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold. There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold…" the siren raised his voice, focusing on the human until he finally plunged into the cold waters below. Quickly he dove below the waves to swim towards the human. The siren continued his gentle melody which was still clearly audible beneath the waves as he swam around, approaching the human from behind with his black tail partly wrapping around the human's legs before looking him deep into his eyes. With his arms settled around his waist, Axenus continued to hum his gentle melody, keeping the human close to soothe his mind. "My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold..." Gently he lifted the human's chin up to pull him closer to his own lips, inch by inch to completely seal his fate... "There is nothing can console me But my jolly sailor bold…" @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo stopped being able to move his legs as much when the other wrapped his tail around his legs, but he still tried his best to not let himself sink in. As the song continued though, and the other got closer and closer, he stopped moving his legs and instead tilted his head to the side, eyes slowly closing as he got ready for the kiss, mind blank. Suddenly though, he coughed, and from there started the struggle to breathe again. He remembered what he had on him, and from the looks of it if he didn’t use it he'd die right then and there. And if he died who would take care of his precious collection?! He had no wife, no lovers even! No family left either. He let one arm go and reached behind himself, taking out a siren sedative-clad knife that had been offered to him by one of the pirates before they entered the siren’s territory, and fought to find a way to stab the siren. Eventually, right as he was about to pass out, he stabbed the siren’s tail, on the side of it, and kept the knife there with the little bit of strength he had left. His mind was tingling, he was both conscious and not, and he was clearly struggling to keep the little bit of consciousness he had left. He shut his eyes for what felt like mere seconds, but when he opened his eyes again it seemed a few minutes had passed, with him laying on the floor and hearing fighting occuring next to him. He looked over, seeing the siren there, wrapped in the strong net along with the sailors who were doing their best to keep the knife in the siren’s tail to both keep him from moving and to make sure the sedative went into his bloodstream properly. @Matcha Latte MJ🍵 (edited)

The siren was certain that he had the human. That he had won and caught his prey. But he wasn't prepared for the sudden pain that soaren through the side of his tail. At the sudden impact he let out a blood curdling screech, his claws only digging deeper into the human's side. With a few strong flaps of his strong tail Axenus planned to escape, but just after he'd turned around to vanish into the depths, something heavy seemed to close around him. It made the siren only thrash around, his talons clawing into the heavy metal net which now began to pull the Two up onto deck. Once they landed on the hard deck with a thud, few men threw themselves onto the thrashing siren, pinning him down despite his claws and teeth and ear bleeding screeches. The pain in the side of his tail only seemed to intensify as one of the human's pressed the blade deeper in, making Axenus wail in pain as his movements got heavier and more sluggish. His head slowly began to spin, sounds shifting more into the distance. He had trouble keeping his eyes open, to keep fighting. But the next movement, it all seemed to slip his grasp as the world around him was plunged into the darkness of the deep sea... @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo waited until the other had passed out properly before moving to stand up. He winced in horrid pain when he felt the cuts the siren had left on his sides. “Shit-“ he grumbled. “Boss!“ one of the sailors spoke “First get the siren in it’s cage. Then you will bandage me up.“ Sangwoo ordered the sailors, who quickly nodded and moved to drag the heavy siren all the way to below the deck and to it’s aquarium-like cage. They put chains on the siren’s wrists and attached the chains to the very bottom of the aquarium-like cage. Once done, they filled the aquarium with the sea water and then shoved the siren in. They locked it up tight, then ran off to take care of their boss, three sailors remaining below deck to watch over the passed out siren. Once Sangwoo was properly bandaged up and they were heading to home land, Sangwoo Lee paid the siren and the sailors a visit below deck. He crossed his arms, seeing the siren slowly start to wake up. “Sing and you’re sushi.“ he smirked, hearing the sailors load their guns. “Alright, so, wakey wakey, my little pet~“ he said, knocking on the strong glass softly with a chuckle. He couldn’t believe it! He had a siren! A male one at that! Now what to do.. Keep or sell? He could bet this male siren was quite the price... He’d have to think about it. “Is the cage big enough for you~?“ he asked

His head was spinning. The siren had lost all sense of orientation until he slowly began to shift awake. He immediately recognized that he was back in the ocean water... but it was not the same. It streamed differently through his gills, felt differently as he moved... but he couldn't. The more he became conscious, the more he was able to perceive. The chains that bound him to the ground of this supposed water tank, followed by the pain that shot through the side of his tail where that strange blade had pierced through him. Even when he growled and tried to pull himself free, he failed. It had no use... Yet the one thing that he hated the most was the human, standing on the other side of this glass tank. He watched Axenus with an almost predatory look. Despite the human's words which still sounded faint, Axenus didn't liked it at all. Oh how the rage started to boil inside of him. With a low growl rumbling in his chest and the straightening of his back fin, the siren bared his teeth to let out another blood curdling screech which lasted for only a few seconds. It was odd that Axenus felt this way. He felt so weak. He wasn't even able to hold his scream up for longer. "Human..." the siren only growled in response, a heavy accent on this simple word as if Axenus wasn't used to speak the human language. His deep blue eyes kept fixated on this one particular human, wanting to tear him into pieces right on the spot... @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo shuddered and quickly covered his ears when he heard the screech. Though as soon as the siren had stopped, he let out a laugh and uncovered his ears. “Pathetic~“ he spoke “Can’t even scream longer, huh~ guess the drug was strong.“ he spoke with a devilish smirk, hands now on his hips as he kept his confident look. “Now come forward. Let me get a good look at you~“ he said, stepping closer to the glass. He clearly had little to no fear over the siren at this current moment. “Come on, come closer. I know I have all day, but I’d rather not waste it on this.“ he spoke with a huff, sliding his hands from his hips to inside his pant pockets. “Sir, it’s dangerous to get that close to the glas-“ one of the sailors spoke, but got cut off by their boss “Shut it. I do as I please. In fact, give me your gun and leave with the others. I’d like some privacy.“ the boss, Sangwoo, spoke; The sailors nodded a bit hesitantly, doing as told and leaving after the one sailor gave him his gun. Once everyone was gone, Sangwoo grabbed a chair and set it in front of the strong glass tank, one leg over the other and his eyes fixated on the male siren’s body @Matcha Latte MJ🍵

The human's response to his quick attempt only seemed to fuel the rage inside Axenus even more. Once the human stepped closer to the glass and requested the siren to do the same, he only bared his sharp teeth in response. He didn't move an inch closer, but also didn't back off, fulfilling neither of the humans request to follow or to satisfy his ego through showing his fear. The way Axenus hovered in the tank gave the siren an almost ethereal look. Flawless white skin with his long white hair curling around him in the water, arms and parts of his chest covered in black shimmering scales. The siren was truly a sight to behold, and his ocean blue eyes a place to get lost in. He didn't respond to the human any further, only eyeing the mechanical device in his hand that could kill with only one loud sound. It was a warning, but Axenus only continued to glare, the low grumble and view on his sharp teeth remaining... @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo chuckled at his reaction. “You do know I’m not scared of you or your teeth, right~?“ he asked. Running a hand through his hair, he looked over the male’s body, smirking “You’re lucky I was the one who found you. Others would have cut you up and sold your fancy features~“ he spoke, stretching with a yawn. “Talk to me, pretty siren~ I wanna know what you truly sound like~“ he spoke He remained on the chair, waiting for the other to start speaking, his predatory gaze stuck on the chained up and caged man @Matcha Latte MJ🍵

The fact that the human didn't even seemed to be scared or felt threatened by Axenus and his kind only fueled the growing rage inside of him. Oh how the siren wanted to tear off that man's grin... "I will kill you..." the siren only responded, followed by a low growl and a bit of fighting against the chains. Once Axenus had gotten rid of those, he'd make his words come true as quick as possible... @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo laughed aloud "Like I'd ever give you the opportunity to~" He spoke. "Now, we've got a long way til we reach my place, start talking. What's your name? Tell me about yourself."

//oops not done lol

Sangwoo laughed aloud "Like I'd ever give you the opportunity to~" He spoke. "Now, we've got a long way until we reach my place, start talking. What's your name? Tell me about yourself." As the man waited patiently for the other to begin talking, he looked down, checking the state of his precious nails and fingers, before he lifted up his shirt to check the bandages around his thighs. "It's true you did quite a number on me, pretty one~ Good job! No one's ever gotten to see so much of my blood before~" He laughed, clearly still making fun of this siren. He would stop eventually, but for now he really loved pissing the siren off.

@Matcha Latte MJ🍵

"You don't deserve to know anything about me or my kind..." Axenus growled, glaring over at the human who really only seemed to tease him and don't even take him for full. For the siren this was no game, or rather one that he would like to end as quick as possible. At the further mockery how Axenus managed to land a strike, he only glared with malice. If he hadn't been able to hold up his screech for longer, he wouldn't even be able to sing his song. He'd have to find another way to escape, or at least another way to shut up... @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo scoffed “I have gone through a lot just to capture you, I’d think I deserve your name at the very least, little siren.“ he spoke, crossing his arms with a frown. “Gosh, saying your name isn’t going to kill you, is it?“ he asked. “And hurry up. I may be patient but I despise waiting too long.“ he spoke harshly, moving the gun around in his hand carefully. He yawned once more, it seemed he was tired from the loss of blood still, but he remained awake nevertheless. He wanted to at least know some things about the new piece in his collection now.

@Matcha Latte MJ🍵

Responding with another low growl, his eyes settled on the gun in his hand. While not particularly frightened of it, he'd make sure to show the human how pretty his heart would look in the claws of the siren. "Axenus." He only said his name after a moment of silence, raising his chin a little with a certain pride to look down at the human before him. @lunar69eclipse

Sangwoo smirked “Pretty name. My name is Sangwoo Lee. Pleasure to have you be mine, Axenus~“ he spoke, keeping his piercing gaze on the other man. “You’re so interesting~ so fascinating~ why won’t you tell me more about your species and yourself?“ he asked quite curiously. He kept his gaze on the siren, however he slowly began moving his eyes down his body, admiring every inch of him with a clear malicious intent. “Come on, speak to me..~“ he spoke calmly, offering him an evil smirk. @Matcha Latte MJ🍵

"I do not belong to you..." the siren only growled in response, obviously angry as he tore at his chains. He hated this hungry gaze of the human, as if Axenus himself was the prey. His wrists slowly began to ache at the pressure and the cold metal, irritating his skin beneath. He had to free himself... @lunar69eclipse
