☠ backdated to oct 13; open to crew

[intostitches]

[ Shortly after discussing crew matters with their captain - amongst other things - it had been decided that the matter of speaking with Izanami over the occurrence at Port Chance, and her readiness to publicly betray one of their members should be dealt with presently.

Originally, he had intended to keep his motives concealed for as long as possible, to prevent protests, or the curious from meddling and slowing him down; however, if things should continue to progress in this fashion, then they'll have much more to deal with than a wily crew.

What he hadn't expected during his search for the death goddess, was to find the majority of the bunch accumulated on the deck - Izanamai and Yu, included...

Curiously, his mouth slacks as he glances between their members, and with an absent smile slowly stretches across them, he raises a nail to tap to his lips in question. ]

Well now, what have we here . . .

[nogimmicks]

[ That would be Lila's fault. She'd had much the same idea and had run around smacking things with her broomstick, or enchanting another one to run around and literally sweep people in annoyance up on deck. They needed to meet. And now here they were.

And so she will place her hands on her hips. Seems she's finally started to recover by now, and she has plenty of energy to spend telling everyone they're idiots. As cheerful as she SEEMS, there's an odd sort of irritation to all her happy, bubbly talk and movement. She is, obviously, very tired of these shenanigans.

They're a crew. A... family, right? A crew is a family. They need to SORT. THIS. OUT. Betraying one another will NOT HELP IT. ]

Is this everyone? I think it is. Great~! I was gonna come get you, too, Undies. Iiiii think we should all have an itty bitty chat~!

[redcinemareel]

Grell, who was coming up behind Undertaker, saw the majority of their crew gathered. It was odd, since they were hardly the type to be in the same area at the same time. At the nickname, Grell snickered not so quietly. Undies...

"Are you really going to let her refer to you as a pair of knickers?" She walked past him and turned her attention to Yu, and not so much to Izanami. "After all the trouble Miss Lila has gone through, I certainly hope you won't make it all in vain."

She would have told Lila just to toss him back on the island, but since Grell liked her, she let her do as she pleased.

Her final destination was to stand near Lila. "It's good to see you in better spirits, Lila." She did notice the brooms on the way to the deck, as well as something more in her words. Grell then turned to Conchita with a knowing smile and nod. Ah, the things they were to discuss, but Grell was most excited about a baby on the way!

[justgetseconds]

Conchita herself is sitting on a barrel. Ah, she sees that excitement. There's definitely the sense of the air being charged with... Multiple feelings. She'll smile a bit, because this is still, well, a very big thing she's unsure of. Her mother wasn't the best, after all, so she doesn't exactly have a positive role model. She'll just have to do her best.

"It seems there are man things we'll have to discuss today."

lmf aah we're all writing in different tenses and styles... so i'll just...... ???

[intostitches]

[ Undies... ah, again...... Well, to that, he raises an index in point, opens his mouth to speak, and-- kind of just dissolves into a series of question marks. ]

Mn... Yes, it does seem that we have quite a bit to speak of, indeed... The pet names will have to be addressed laaater, I'm afraid. But I'm quite pleased you've gathered everyone, Lila, it saved me the effort♥.

[ Yes, he will certainly use the situation to his advantage. Why not? With the others generally seated in one place, he saunters on over to stand before the group, turning on his heel to face them. ]

After all, there's been some confusion regarding what's come to pass, and where our loyalties lie. Isn't that right, Izanami.

[ Regarding the goddess with a tilt of the head, he just smiles. ]

[thefoglies]

[Izanami glanced toward him, her expression cool though difficult to read. Being corrected by Conchita had of course humbled her quite a bit, but like hell she was going to admit as much. Not in front of certain redheaded individuals.]

I fail to see what you mean. I mentioned no names, nor ship. I sincerely doubt the other unfortunate inhabitants of this world even know who I am or whom I travel with.

[redcinemareel]

[SIGHS]

The mere fact of one bringing up such a matter usually implies that such a matter EXISTS amongst their crew. Everyone who has replied in kind to your entry has come to the exact same conclusion, so please stop playing dumb. I know you're anything but!

[No, Grell is not one to dance around the subject, either.]

Just because you haven't mentioned names, does not mean one should talk about such matters so frivolously!

[thefoglies]

[Izanami's eyes flicked toward Grell, though she did not turn to face her.]

I was requesting advice, nothing more. If some humans had come to the conclusion I was referring to this ship, that is no fault of mine.

[She paused, a bit of a humored expression coming to her face.]

It is a concern I would not put much faith in. Most of the creatures that have been forced here as well are especially thick.

[intostitches]

[ As much as he enjoys your catfights, ladies, he's stepping in on this one. He's got shit to say, ok. ]

Now, now. It was rather obviously stated that you had allegations to hold against one of your own. [ One hand folded behind his back, he leaaans in to draw the tip of his index along the underside of her chin, nail gently scraping the skin. ] Given the timing, and the suspicions already placed against us, it was a very risky move, m i s s . . .

[ A grin splits across his face, before he stands upright to adress everyone, as a whole. ]

But if the lot of you are so curious, I'm more than happy to clarify our intentions here. If you haven't already discovered it for yourselves.

[ Placing a hand to his own chest, he glances over to Grell. ]

Though the captain has given her support, it was me that asked Miss Conchita to demonstrate her abilities. You see, I'm quite interested in raising the dead; "zombies", I've heard them called. While I'm able to create them through more complicated means, she can do so with a mere raise of the glass...

[ And so he demonstrates the gesture, clearly amused by it. ]

It was quite fascinating to see, you know . . . Tchehe.

[callmewhateveryuwant]

[He knew that the captain and this weirdo were insane but to talk about the dead...so flippantly and without a care in the world. It was like staring at a detective who thought murdering two innocent women were fun. He should be pissed at Conchita for summoning the zombies just because but no...his anger started to boil and it was directed at one particular person. And then he said something about creating them, which didn't help.

He can see the truth about this one. And Yu Narukami didn't shy away from it. His voice was low, almost like a growl.]

Is this a game to you?

[Pissed off didn't begin to cover it.]

[intostitches]

Hmmm~?

[ Oh yes, that little outburst caught his attention, eyes snapping to meet the mortal's hateful gaze. ]

A game? Mn, no, actually - [ Hand lowering, his nail thoughtfully taps to his lips, almost mockingly. ] - I suppose you could say that this is one of the few things that I'm rather serious about. Hee.

[ Swaying to shift his weight, he nonchalantly gestures in Yu's general direction. ]

If you don't like it, my boy, I will offer you the opportunity to leave... but God help your soul, should you think to divulge this information to any other party . . .

[ Steepling his fingers rather sweetly, he looks over the rest of them. ]

And that goes for the rest of you, too. Any other questions♥?

[thefoglies]

[Izanami narrowed her eyes at Undertaker at the threat, unconsciously leaning over slightly, putting herself between Yu and the other man.]

You cannot say you did not expect some objection to such harsh treatment of the dead.

[She narrowed her eyes at him.]

Those that are at rest are meant to stay at rest. If you do not consider this entertainment, then I would hope you have an exceptional excuse for such abuse, especially being one that oversees the dead yourself.

[intostitches]

I wholly expected it; for what ooother reason would I think to gather you for this little talk of ours?

[ It's all said very simply, as though he couldn't have a care in the world. But when he thinks on her latter statement, there's a touch of-- something to his demeanor, and his smile softens. ]

My dear woman, you hardly understand humans as it is. Of course, to you, the passing of a mortal life is as simple as watching the sun set. The young - or inexperienced, in your case - could not hope to understand, I'm afraid.

[ Undertaker shrugs, at that. ]

Not that I'm asking it of you. You needn't even contribute to the cause, beyond what your captain asks of you. Simply know this is our intention, and there's no changing that . . .

[redcinemareel]

That really goes double to the extent of her understanding of The Code aboard this ship. [waves a hand haphazardly] It's not as if she'll ever listen to her superiors.

[Grell's one to talk, but this isn't about her.]

I do have an actual question however. [She gestures her head over to Izanami.] When is she going to get shoes?

[thefoglies]

[Izanami was torn at Undertaker's words. She wanted to condemn him for daring to defile the dead in such a manner. Yet at the same time... he was very right; she was inexperienced when it came to the matters of humans, and while she was certain that he was far from being human, she was also inexperienced in dealing with other individuals in general, as was quite easily proven before she even showed up in this strange world.]

[Her expression softened, and she may well have relented to Undertaker's words... if Grell hadn't opened her big fat mouth. She narrowed her eyes at her as she started speaking as if she were not there, her anger quickly boiling.]

Perhaps it would be more prudent if we stayed on topic, Captain.

[intostitches]

[ Grell... He just looks to her with parted lips - seriously judging her priorities here!! But then his shoulders raise with an obvious snicker... ]

I don't believe it myyy responsibility to see her properly clothed. I think the task would be more appropriate for a fellow lady, wouldn't you say?

[ He flaps one long sleeve in their captain's direction, dismissively. ]

In any case, that's really all there is to it, mm~?
