"Yar! And what do mine eyes perceive?" The man announced his presence as he put a hand on the shoulders of two women from behind. "Why if it not be the two wenches whose company I so enjoyed last year!"

"Captain!" The two women spun around in his grip, "You took our invitation!"

The man dressed as a Pirate smirked. "Aye! I did indeed," he agreed. "How could I turn down an invitation to plunder and pillage again, starting with you two fine lasses!" He frowned. "But tell me, why are ye dressed like this?"

That was their costume. Karen, with her black hair tied up behind her tricorn hat, wore a pirate's jackat and shirt, the white under-layer contrasting nicely with the black jacket. Both were edged in gold around the collars.

Sarah, by contrast, wore tight pants, and tall boots, the gray breeches fitting snugly around her legs, while around her hips, a belt with a sword draped to one side.

Karen didn't wear anything below her waist, save for the green tag in her pussy, while Sarah was undressed from the waist up, except for the same colour of tag piercing her left breast.

"Well," Sarah said, "we both liked the idea of being a pirate this year, but there was only one costume we could find."

Karen finished off the explanation. "So we decided to split the costume. She wears one half, and I wear the other! Do you like, Captain?"

The Captain nodded. "I do indeed!" He put his hands behind his back, letting the two women present themselves as they wanted. "But I have to ask, what be yer plans for the evening? Surely two wenches like yourselves have some plots in motion?"

Sarah and Karen shared a look. "Well," Karen opened up. "We were planning on doing some pillaging - or being pillaged - and from there? Who knows?" she put one arm around Sarah's waist, and she replied in kind.

"id you have any plans, Captain?" Sarah asked.

"Why, I do indeed!" the Captain announced with a clap of his hands. He drew the short sword at his side and held it up before him and the two women. "However, there be a small issue I need to deal with first."

Karen looked at the sword with not a little lust in her eyes. "And what would that be, Captain?"

"As me first order, I command ye two to hug each other, keeping yer hands above yer hips." He smirked and held his sword point down. "I have to fix something."

"Well, if you insist, Captain," Sarah said as she and Karen embraced each other in a way that showed off the amount of practice they had. For a moment, the Captain was stunned, then realized he still had his own thing to do. With careful precision, he slid the sword horizontally into Sarah's hips, above the waistline of her pants. If she felt the cold metal in her body, she didn't show it as he pulled it through her and then into Karen's body just under her shirt. She stiffened, but relaxed as Sarah kissed her, distracting her long enough for the Captain to finish his cut of the two women.

Once that was done, he resheathed his blade, then then hugged the two women. "oooh!" Sarah said, "kinky, but being to the side isn't where you want to be."

"Nay," he said as he bent with his knees and lifted, pulling the tops of the two women off their bottom halves! He walked around in a circle, then set them down again. "There," he announced as he stepped back. "Much better!"

The two women disentangled themselves, then started giggling. "You switched us!" Sarah laughed.

Sara now had Karen's lower body, while Karen had Sarah's. A green tag was still on the blonde woman's tit, while on Karen, the same tag went through her pants and her pussy, where it was on her old body.

"Aye!" The Captain agreed as he took in the fully dressed pirate, and the undressed one. "Have me a first mate," he put a hand around Karen's shoulders, and ye be..."

Sarah put her hands behind her body and leaned forward, facing the two in costume. "Well, if you're the Pirate and First Mate," she said, "would that make me cargo?"

"I can like with that," Karen agreed. "Captain, I vote we take this piece of cargo and sell it to the next bidder. We can get a pretty doubloon for her, I'm sure."

The Captain considered that. "Nay, First Mate Karen!" he exclaimed. "I have a better idea for our carrrgo," he rolled the 'r' there quite long. "But she be too big for what I have in mind. You see," he said as he rummaged around and them pulled out a velvet bag, "she needs to fit into this here bag'o'mine." He gave it a wiggle. "And she be far too large as she is. So, First Mate, Cut her up into more manageable pieces."

"With pleasure!" Karen saluted and drew her sword. She advanced on Sarah, who obligingly held out her arms. With a quick swipe, Karen cut off Sarah's hands, catching them deftly. She dropped them, one and two, into the bag, where the Captain gave it a quick shake, then upended it, dropping out two coins.

"Oooh!" Sarah cooed. "Each piece is a coin!"

"Aye," The Captain replied. "And the more valuable the piece, the better the coin." He put the two copper pieces back into the bag. "First Mate!"

The arms were next, transformed in the bag. Then she removed Sarah's head. Kissing her one last time, she fit it into the bag, and the Captain gave it a shake to reveal a new gold coin. Karen then went about dismantling her friend with gusto, each breast revealing themselves to be platinum, while her torso was silver. A careful curve to remove Sarah's - formerly Karen's - snatch, and that too was made platinum, with the legs and feet going last.

Purse now heavy with coin, the two pirates faced each other. "Now, Captain, what be yer plan?"

"Well," the Captain drawled. "It occurs to me that before we go about plundering and perhaps spending some coin, there be one thing I need to do."

"And what would that be?" Karen licked her lips.

"Ye be my First Mate," he informed her. "Let's get the mate part out of the way."

"Aye Aye Captain!"

*  *  *

"So, what are you offering to the pot?" The Captain sat down at the open chair of the poker table, smiling at the Cow-woman, the Superhero and the Vampire. In response, the Captain set his bag down on the table, spilling out its contents of copper, silver, gold and bronze. "Two willing women," he replied, spreading the coins around.

"I'll take it," the costumed hero said.

"As will I," the Vampire added.

The Cow-woman nodded assent under her stetson hat.. "Just don't expect to see me on the table," she pointed out.

The Captain collected his coins, and waited for the superhero to shuffle the deck of cards and hand them out. He checked his hand, then waited for the pot to come around to him. "Two, please," he asked as he tossed a silver coin into the pot of cash from the Hero and Vampire, but bullets from the Cow-Woman. A surreptitious glance told him that she was wearing a red tag, as was the Vampire, but the Hero was Green.

The pot went around, and he was the only one remaining, no one willing to commit much. He collected his winnings, and waited for the Vampire to shuffle and deal. "What's with the bullets?" he asked the woman at the table. "Cash, I get. The ladies, well, they're willing to put themselves up," he tapped his own coins.

She pulled out a revolver and put it on the table. "Get all six," she indicated the one in his pile, the two in the hands of the Vampire, and the two in the hand of the Hero, "and you can shoot me."

The Captain considered that and the red tag she wore. "Very well," he let the subject go and checked his hand. It was poor, but he played out the first round like it was strong, putting a bullet and some cash on the table, then adding a gold coin. The Cow-woman considered, then matched his bet. The hero folded, then the Vampire raised.

The Captain lost the round to the Vampire, the Cow-Woman now bulletless. She crossed her arms. "Well, waiting," she said.

The Hero and I reached a silent agreement. The Vampire was also Red, so he might as well get the bullets. On the next round, he and I wagered the bullets first, then folded, handing them over to the man on my right.

"Well, that was quick," the woman drawled as she handed over the gun then stood up. The Vampire loaded the bullets calmly and then took aim. He pulled the trigger twice, and the Cow-Girl's legs exploded into red, she screamed as she fell down. "Bitch!" she cried out. "Four!"

The Vampire took aim again, and this time put two rounds into her arms, leaving her unable to do more that thrash on the ground. "Two!" She yelled out in pain.

Walking over to her, the Vampire then got to his knees beside her. He, as the Captain and the Hero watched, he pulled aside her pants, and stuck the barrel of the revolver into her pussy. He pulled the trigger, and the woman arched in pain as the bullet went through her. "One!" she finally hissed out as the Vampire held her in place. "Make it count!"

"I will," the Vampire promised as he pulled the bloody barrel out of her. He traced a red line up her body, teasing at her breasts, over her heart before settling on her head. One more pull of the trigger, and she slumped, dead, a pool of blood appearing under her.

"Wow," the Hero said. "Morbid."

"Indeed," the Vampire put the gun down and retook his seat. "Shall we finish the game?"

The Hero looked down. "Eh, I think I'm good." He stood up and made to collect his winnings. "What about you?" He looked down at the Captain.

The Captain considered his situation. "I think I'm good as well," he said, standing. "Though, if you don't mind, perhaps we can trade some winnings?" He moved out some coins to the middle of the table. "Here be a nice woman," he said. "A Pirate Lass of dubious nature and morals." he said as the Vampire looked on curiously. "I have one of me own, and I'm willin' to share for a while."

"What's the cost?" the Hero said, examining the coins of various metals.

"Me and this fine lass," the Captain tapped his own coins, "we be eventually mounting a rescue mission, savvy? Feel free to put her into peril fer' her crimes all ye want."

The Hero looked down at the coins. "And what if I turn her to the side of good?" he asked.

The Captain thought about that for a moment. "Then perhaps this other lovely woman," he tapped his coins again, "will have to corrupt her back?"

The Hero collected the coins. "Deal. See you around."

"Aye," the Captain agreed with a handshake. The two men left.

The Vampire looked down at the body at the table. "Well," he said to no one in particular. "That was something."

*  *  *

"Ahh!" the blonde woman stretched out as she was restored with the flick of a cloth. "That was interesting." She opened her eyes and looked around. "Hey, Captain, what's up?"

"Well," the Captain said as he ran his eye up and down her nude form, "it appears as though me First Mate has been kidnapped by a scalawag who calls himself a 'hero'. And because of that, the position of First Mate has opened up. Are ye interested?"

"Sure!" Sarah said. "What does it entail?"

"Well," the Captain put one hand on her breast, and the other on her loins, "there be the issue of the mating part, and after that, I suppose we should get to the planning of a rescue."

The new First Mate opened her arms wide. "I look forward to serving under you, Captain. And this will give me time to think about how to punish that woman for being captured."
