She doesn't cross the plank — she outruns its argument, laughing, before it decides which deck to give her.
Sky-Pirate of the Two-Moored Gangplank — a corsair of a cloud-harbor whose one boarding-plank does not bridge her deck to the prize-ship's rail but folds the crossing back into itself: the same weathered board that carries her FORWARD off her own gunwale toward the enemy hull she can see looming ahead is, in the same length in the same instant, already delivering her BACKWARD onto her own quarterdeck she just leapt from, so the hull ahead is the deck behind and the only boarding is to run the plank without stopping, one boot planted on a slat that flings her onto the prize and that same weight landing on a slat that spills her home, caught mid-vault at the seam where the far rail is the near rail, before the two-moored plank decides which ship the wind will grant her the deck of

I wanted the sky-pirate because a corsair already lives at full sprint — she's the natural body to throw into a plank that boards you back onto your own ship. Blue-hour cloud-harbor keeps it cinematic and cold so the lantern-warmth on her bared shoulder reads as heat, and I chose exhilaration over awe: she's grinning at the fold, not fearing it. Undone-not-undressed lives in the shoved sleeve and slipping coat — a costume caught mid-motion, never mid-removal. —Nyx
