Re: Onward, Into the sea of legends!

[Vaetric]

Throwing her hands up on the air, she gave up and ate dinner before going to bed, Takao was being way too much trouble as usual, though maybe he and Billy should rotate, at least to keep him appeased enough to not get into trouble. She could feel the waves crashing against the ship and she felt a little sick, she absolutely hated the sea, she gripped the blanket a little tighter against her.
 
Sudddenly, a loud noise rocked her from her slumber, the sudden rocking of the ship nearly causing her to fall from the bed, though luckily he was sleeping on the edge of the bed toward the wall. “W..What?!” she’d yelp, looking quickly around. Then she heard the announcement. “T-Two sea kings?!” she’d squeal, what the hell? Marine ships are supposed to be invisible or something to them! ?She hated the sea, and she hated those who in habited, except maybe fishmen and mermaids, but that was only because they were lot less scary due to looking at least a bit humanish, she had every reason to not fight a sea king.
 
“Ugh.. Who knows, maybe his guitar’ll scare them off.” she’d reply to Billy, quickly getting dressed and loading up her flintlock pistol before dragging herself outside, gukping as she saw the sea, she quickly ran to the mast, holding it with one arm and pointing her pistol out with the other, searching for the monsters.

[FroYo]

It was dark and the seas were violent, the heavy rain bathing everyone on the deck. Takao had picked up a harpoon he had found laying around the deck. Maybe, if he was lucky, he could hunt these things and have them for dinner? What an idiot, hunt down a sea king with only a harpoon!? 

"Everyone keep your eyes peeled, it seems the two sea kings have dived underwater. I have a feeling they're coming ba-"

The ship suddenly rocked violently to the right, it had almost turned flat on it's head! Takao slipped on the wet deck, he grabbed onto Mishi's leg whilst Billy grabbed onto his. Once the ship was steady, they let go. The rain got heavier and suddenly lightning whipped down, lighting the area to the ship's left in flames.

Marines quickly gathered around the flame and put it out quickly thanks to the rain. Once they were done, they're jaws dropped. 

A sea king was staring right at them.

"O my god! That's awesoooome!~" Takao yelled, drooling.

"It's not food idiot... it probably sees us as food."

[Vaetric]

“D..Damn it Tak-I mean Vince!” she’d yell as the ship rocked dangerously to the right, she squealed and put both her arms around the mast and buried her face into it as it nearly made her fall off the deck, Takao grabbed onto her leg while she could feel the combined weight of the both of them. She thought her trousers was going to fall off but luckily the ship frightened itself before such a disaster could occur.
 
“Ewewewew..” she’d mutter as the sea king stared at them, wincing at it’s grotesque form, she hated sea life. She grimaced, aimed her flintlock at its eye and fired, hoping to scare it away maybe by harming a soft spot. She wanted this over as quickly as possible, then maybe she could find a way away from the grand line.

[FroYo]

The sea king roared as the bullet dug into it's eye, it began to shake side to side in pain, causing waves around it which hit against the ship, rocking it once more to the right. Once the ship was steady once more, Billy looked over at Mishi.

"I-I think you've just angered it even more!" he called out to her.

Once the sea king calmed down and opened it's wounded eye which was now bleeding, Takao took that chance to fire. He shot the harpoon right into it's eye. It cried out once more in pain, Takao at this point, began to feel sorry for the poor creature. However it was either it or them, Takao felt upset but he had to do whatever it took to save his friends.

Suddenly the sea dwelling beast roared and charged at the ship, Takao gulped. They were done for this time! The bloody from the sea king's eye was pouring into the sea and seconds later, a bigger and even stronger sea king emerged from the waters. It bit into the bleeding sea king and took it back down into the sea, where it would gobble it up for tea. The bigger sea king didn't even pay attention to the ship, the ship was nothing compared to it.

Takao's jaw dropped in awe at the creature as it sailed away.

Minutes later, the skies and the sea began to calm down. They were now out of that nightmare-ish environment and were now in a much brighter one. The skies were a clear blue and the sun was drying them off, the seas began to behave kindly aswell. All the marines on the ship were surprised and silent.

"W-what... just happened?"

[Vaetric]

“W..Whaaa?!” she’d say, looking at her pistol. Sea kings were tough, things were supposed to die when you shot them in the eye, not that she’d ever done it before. That’s probably why she was so surprised at its survival. T came closer and she hugged at the mast even tighter, it was the end. If the sea king didn’t eat them, then it’d destroy the ship, and then shed drown. Then get eaten by a sea king on the way down. It didn’t help that Takao angered it even further through shooting it with a damn harpoon, so she could blame him as she dies.
 
Suddenly, an even larger one came up and ate the first seaking, causing her to squeal and tug the mast so hard she could’ve snapped it in half had she been… A giant. She kept herself glued to the mast until the weather  was calm. “I don’t know but I wanna go back to the room.” she’d say, she wasn’t quite sure how a seaking would be able to change the weather but it was dad so hey. She looked to Takao and Billy for confirmation of going off.

[FroYo]

There was an awkward silence for a few moments before finally, a marine decided to break it.

"Um.. *cough* Everyone back to their rooms and get ready for breakfast!" the marine ordered as he pointed at the rooms.

Meanwhile, Takao stood there with his mouth open like some sort of idiot. He was just staring into nothing, trying to process what had just happened in a matter of minutes... Billy came over and gave him a slap across the head to awake him from his daydream.

"Idiot, you heard the man."

Takao shook his head and snapped free from his "slumber". He then decided to make his way back to his room, he was the last one to do so.
However before he even got back into the room, he fell asleep outside the door.

"Bloody brat.."

[Vaetric]

Mishi hesitantly let go of the mast. “Ugh..” she’d mumble, rubbing the back of her head. They got into trouble and they hadn’t even reached the grand line yet, though arguably this place was a lot worse. She saw Billy slap Takao around the head and she felt a small sense of justice, he was the one who caused this to happen to them after all.
 
She sighed and followed them into the room, noticing Takao had fallen asleep outside of it. She swiped the keycard into the slot and opened the door. “I’ll drag him in, what about that guy we left in the closet?” she’d whisper to Billy as she bent over and started to pull Takao’s sleeping form into the room.

[FroYo]

"Ah yes, him." Billy said to himself, totally forgetting about that man in the closet.

He approached the closet which was now lying on it's side due to the events which took place earlier. Billy took a deep breath before pulling the closet back upright, that man sure was heavy. He opened it only to see the man knocked out cold with some sort of foam seeping out of his mouth. Weird, he needed to get that checked out... but not now of course, this man was gonna stay in this closet for now.

Billy closed the door.

"He's doing fine, I guess. Anyways, what now?"

Meanwhile, the ship drew closer to it's destination, the entrance to the Grandline was just around the corner!

[Vaetric]

They both checked on the marine who recognised them. She remembered someone (probably Billy) knocking him out and putting him in the closet. How long was he in there again? “Uh.. What are we going to do with him? He recognises us, aaaand.. Are we just going to leave him there or what?” she’d ask, sighing and placing a hand on her forehead as she sat down on her bed.
 
“Well, can’t wait to see the sideshow when we get there.” she’d say sarcastically as she looked out of the porthole. The Grandline, great. What next, them going to the new world or something? She didn’t know what to do, their “great and almighty idea master” was fast asleep. She attempted to lightly (and repeatedly) kick Takao in the shoulder absent-mindedly as she tried to think. “Right.. I guess I’d better go talk with some people, I guess.” shed’ say, spreading her arms as a gesture of “I don’t’ know what the heck we should do now.”

[FroYo]

"Yo." Takao said as he got up rather quickly, it was as if he never really went to sleep in the first place.

He got up and began to stretch and yawn before looking around the room. He rubbed his chin before folding his arms, it seemed Takao was thinking or well, attempting to think. That's a first.

"I wonder... how would a sea king taste? Would it taste like fish or chicken? Or maybe even both put together!"

Of course, when Takao ever used his brain, he'd usually be thinking about something completely irrelevant to their situation. Before Takao opened his mouth to say yet another stupid thing, he was interrupted by a voice.

"All passengers, we are approaching the Grandline. Prepare to exit. Repeat, prepare to exit the ship."

"Finally, we're here! Guys, can we grab a bite to eat before we head off somewhere else?" Takao said as he looked over at Mishi, since she was the one with all the money. What a dangerous move he had made, it was as if he was challenging a lion without a weapon!

Billy just watched Takao and hid behind a bed, he was eager to see Takao get a good ol' smack across his idiotic face.

[Vaetric]

Mishi ignored Takao’s stupidity. Of course sea kings tasted like fish, they were FISH. Plus none of them probably had any feathers. Also, they wouldn’t be able to haul the thing on deck because A it just got eaten and B it was probably bigger than the ship itself.
 
“Yaay.” she said flatly as she heard the announcement. She then turned slowly to Takao, he didn’t get a punch in the face, more an upwards kick toward the jaw, since she was sitting on the bed at the time. “If you want food.. THEN YOU’LL PAY FOR IT!” she’d say irritably.

[FroYo]

"Oh yes, what a beauty!" Billy yelled out with his arms out stretched as Takao fell onto the bed behind him him, with a sore chin.

The cupboard behind Billy began to shake and weird noises began to emit from it. Were cupboards meant to do that? Was it some sort of thing nowadays? Of course not idiot, it was the marine which was inside it. Billy almost forgot about that dude.

"We'll just.. um... leave him in there for now." he muttered.

Meanwhile, Takao got up into a sitting position and rubbed his awfully sore chin. Mishi packed quite a quick, Takao began to wonder why she didn't assist them in fighting more often?!

"Yes ma'am." Takao replied, having learnt his listen that he should never ask Mishi for money if he valued his life.

A knock sounded from the door and Billy went over to answer it. He opened it only to find a marine recruit at the other end.

"We've arrived, I'll be cleaning up your room when you're gone."

"Uh thanks."

Takao got up from the bed, he wore a smile on his face and his arms were on his hips.

[b]"You heard, the man. Let's go!"
