YouTubers of the West Indies (Part 1)

The year is 1726, Kingston Jamaica a British colony. South of Cuba, North of Brazil and located in the West Indies. There we find our five heros, you may have heard of them. No not Jesse and friends I'm talking about the what are now called YouTubers. But in this world they are just people, no millions of followers and no fortune. Just five friends sitting around a fire all wondering what they are going to do next.

The oldest of these friends is Stacy, she sailed to Jamaica all the way from the colonies. At the time her family was going through massive dept. The day she turned thirty (surprisingly not married) she got on a ship sailing for Liverpool. Why Liverpool? Well Liverpool was only the first stop, her real destination was the warm waters of the Caribbean. Her dream... well she didn't have one nor did she need one. Over the voyage she became a sailor skillful at her work and faster than a rabbit that job was meant for her.
When Stacy got to Liverpool a few months later she didn't even get a chance to get off the ship. Instantly a few hours after docking a lady in a dark blue dress with a suitcase came aboard. In fact that lady was none other than Elizabeth or Lizzy as she's better known as. Stacy was skeptical at first but got to know the British girl well and they became good friends afterwards.

The second of these friends is Elizabeth or as we talked about Lizzy. Lizzy was a noble woman growing up in London all her life, traveling around Europe with her family all the time. Her father was a rich man who barley had time for her. And her mother taught Lizzy all she needed to know about being a woman of her rank. Of course Lizzy never listened which is why when she turned twenty five she would be sent away to live with her uncle in Jamaica. This way she would be out of her family's hair and might get more affection than she did before.
And we previously discussed Stacy was skeptical of Lizzy when she first got on board, but so was Lizzy. To Lizzy it was odd for a woman to be working on a ship and to Stacy it was odd for a noble woman to be on a pirate ship. But Lizzy was prepared, since it was going to be winter on her travel she brought a wool blanket with her, assuming she didn't need any more. Only for Lizzy to discover later on the crew only slept in hammocks and only some of the crew had appropriate clothing, Stacy not being one of them. Lizzy took pity and ripped her blanket in half so Stacy could at least be warm when she slept. Lizzy thought she was just being nice while Stacy saw it as an act of friendship. From then on they became friends.
After their long voyage finally they reached Kingston in the spring of 1726. Finally on land again Stacy took it upon herself to carry Lizzy's suitcase for her since being on the water for that long can make anybody dizzy. And while the two friends were walking around Kingston they spotted another pair of friends. Two young men in their mid twenties. These men being Daniel TDM and Stampycat.

The first of these young men was Daniel or Dan for short. He and Stampy have been living in Kingston all their lives and have been best friends ever since they met. Dan and Stampys lives are quite similar since they did almost everything together. They caught fish together, they ran around Kingston together, they played games together and even been each other's wingman. One of the few things they didn't have in common was interests, Dan was part of a little band that played in a bar every night in Kingston. Even if Dan was twenty five he (most likely) never touched a drop of rum in his life. While Stampy always dreamed of sailing the world and getting away from all the troubles of Kingston. Only a year older than Dan he had big dreams and couldn't do them all in just one city.
Stampy did everything he could to become a member of a crew but each time he applied he got denied. Sure he wasn't the fittest person around but his dreams kept getting crushed. Every single time, Stampy could do so much more if given the chance. He could heal sailors if he knew how, he could help in a battle if he knew how to use a muscket, he could help free slaves if he had the key. But every day is the same and every same day just feels like yesterday. Until he noticed Lizzy and Stacy.
Both men saw the ship they got off of, everybody knows that ship. It was indeed the ship that belonged to Captain Lukas and his crew. Each one of them was a tough pirate that eat hardtack for breakfast and can clear the deck of a Spanish galleon like it was nothing. Every now and then Dan would see them walk in and all drink their problems away. There was Captain Lukas who never dresses like a proper captain, instead he just looked like his crew. Then there was his first mate Petra, stories say she met Captain Lukas while stealing a brig all on her own with nothing but a pistol and a pair of swords. His second mate Jesse is all the ladies talk about... for disturbing reasons. Axl and Olivia don't seem so tough but that's not true at all! Axl could choke two men at the same time, while Olivia would be building these strange contraptions of mass destruction. They were tough and it's extremely difficult to be in their crew, but it was every sailors dream.
However Stampy and Dan weren't the only ones who noticed, Sparkles who was only across the dirt road also noticed. Not much is know about Sparkles other than he's a pacifist and keeps telling everyone he has a boat even though he probably doesn't. He did have a few friends but one killed her husband for his money and the other became a pirate. Sparkle like Stampy wanted to be a part of a crew so over years of savings he had enough money to afford a gunboat. It would be small but one day he would get a bigger boat a ship maybe! But it's already going to take him all of his life savings to buy a the gunboat. He would have to work until he dies to get a ship, and what's the point in that?
He had the money now all he needed was a crew, Sparkles looked across the dirt road and said, "Bingo"
