Giant Spiders Oh My
Who: the current Hazmats
Where: sailing to Manahana-lia Island, then on the island
When: August 27 through September 5th
What: sailing as fast as they can to rescue Cynthia, and the rescue thereof. They'll try to save time by jumping through Empieza but...
Warnings: spiders. Violence, talk of death, Gan Ning's mouth
Style: whatever you want, don't mind the setup
Status: closed to Hazmat crew
The minute the scream came though his journal, Gan Ning was moving. There was no time to waste fiddling around, they had to set sail to find Cynthia before it was too late. He tore through any maps and information they had on the ship, looking for anything that suggested spiders. Her clue, the spider-webs, meant that was all he had to go on. Fortunately, other pirates around the docks totally knew which island that was, and aside from impressing on him the "don't go there" part of the legend, told him where to find it.
It did seem odd that no matter where they were, if they set sail for Isla Empieza, they'd make it there in a day or so instead of weeks. Gan Ning relied on that, even though he didn't do more than skim through the harbor before setting a new course for Manahana-lia in the far west of the land. Hopefully weather wouldn't be against them. They had a long way to go and didn't have Wan there to guide the winds in their favor.
Spiders, the other pirates said. There'd be large spiders and his crew would be killed. Nope, Xingba would not let anyone die if he could help it. But that meant they'd have to fight. Roxas needed to heal so he could guard the ship, but everyone else, well...
Let's hope they make it on time.
[ooc: info on the island is here - make and date your own sailing threads but we'll hit the island about the 3rd or 4th and there'll be a fight log for that]

[if she doesn't mind, he sure doesn't. Company's nice, and man she's pretty.]
So where d'ya come from anyway? You're not like...the only mermaid, are ya?
no subject
[Yay! He said she could. Grinning grandly she moved to pull herself up, belly on the railing and hands holding her up, looking out over the water and where they were going, her fin draped behind her partly rested on deck.]
[Though she did look back as he asked questions.]
Atlantia! My father is King Triton, [she said that with a roll of eyes and annoyance, because shes still mad with dear old dad] ...though I don't suppose that means anything to you either. There is a whole kingdom of Merfolk there. I've even got six older sisters.
no subject
That's somethin', though. [six sisters, huh? don't ask what he's thinking...]
no subject
And where does Xingba come from? A... city? On land? [She learned of the City of York from Raph!]
Oh, I suppose so. It's not as interesting as all of this. [icon oocly relevant to thoughts on the six sisters]
no subject
So, what, you didn't explore the whole ocean back home, like you're doin' here?
no subject
[wha--Oh! She huffed and stared off at the water again.] Of course not. My father would have killed me if he had known I--if I had... gone out. It's forbidden. 'Humans are dangerous, Ariel!' [she said in a mock father voice]
Here though? Yeah... I can explore as much as possible.

[her fin waved a bit behind her, grinning at the idea.] If I had six brothers instead of sisters, maybe I could have run around more. But everything had to be proper. Ladies don't swim around wildly, after all.
no subject
No brothers at all, huh? That's a shame.
no subject
What about you? I know Raphael has three brothers, and Hicup has Toothless. Do you have any siblings?

That sounds so very lonely.... [Even when she ran away she ran away with friends.]

I am glad to have found your crew, and am glad you allowed me to travel with you all. You're right. We've got good people on this crew. I could have been a lot worse off out there alone. Thank you.
