There are different stories about the Demons of the Seas, one being that a rival pirate captain gave away him and the Demons, that they were ambushed and caught when the crew were partying at a local tavern. In captivity, “the Demon King of the seas” was given two options: To be hanged or to become a hangman himself. And if his heart would not be broken enough for hanging his friends and fellow criminals, he also had to make a deal that if “She” ever would be caught, he would have to hang her and only then he could walk away as a free man.
“She” avoided getting caught  because of her love for theater. That night ”the Demon Queen of the seas” was attending her favourite commedia dell’ arte performance when she was told what had happened. She knew one actress of the troupe was known for always wearing a mask because of her crossed eyes. Being cruel and quick witted, the same horrible night after the news about the ambush and the performance “She” lured the actress to the dock, drowned her and took her identity. So beyond anyone’s doubt “The Demon Queen” was hiding in plain sight playing “Columbina”. She became very famous and was often seen at stage with her bright colored parrots she trained to do tricks and misdeeds.

But there are other legends about the Demons. One tells that the Demon King loved the real Columbina and was the informer himself and wanted to catch and hang the Demon Queen. Other story is about the parrots, how “She” trained them to drop poison to drinks of law-makers and prison guards to have the King free. Some rumors give totally different kind of roles for the rival pirate captain and for the real Columbina, also there are various myths questioning were the King and the Queen enemies or allies in the end, what was the real meaning of the parrots and who did what and who was really who...

I apologize if my instructions were unclear. I've contacted the players who have already posted.

I've added a day to this round due to this issue.




EXAMPLE POST

Loren and Emmy thought their law-abiding appearance as a legal transcriptionist team was the perfect cover. By day, they worked with local attorneys. By night as a part of a huge crime ring, they used the confidential information they stole from their clients to blackmail and rob the clients.

The Bounty Hunters caught Loren. Immediately, he told law enforcement everything he knew about everyone in the crime ring, except Emmy. He was put into Witness Protection in an extremely cold climate. Emmy used her ill-gotten gains to build a quiet life in a small country town.

When these two magicians are not stealing, they try to always blend in and act, but even with all the acting and tricks, their plans won't go as they expected.

The magicians were running, she held a bag full of gemstones, and both were trying to get to the escape route. He tripped on a rock, but for her, knowing that time was running out for their escape. She looked back at him for a moment, before she ran and was able to escape. For him, he was caught as he couldn't get back up in time.

During his time locked away, he was left to think about what he had done, and had thought about an escape attempt, before noticing it was impossible. She knew he was caught and knew that it was time to leave and move somewhere else. She left and traveled to another town, living under another identity.
