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]

O...kay? And why didn't Lea want to give him an "organization name"?

[ Whatever the hell that means. ]

[He's looking in Cynthia's direction, but he's not really looking at her. His fingers curl into a fist again as he glares. If only Xemnas were here and Roxas could get his hands on him with Lea and they would teach him a thing or two.]

It's the same reason he won't let me get my tattoos. When we got our names, he stole our identities. I should be called Sora, but he stole my name from me by putting the 'X' in it to make Roxas. The 'X' is also like a marker so I can be tracked and controlled. They always know where I am. As long as I'm a Nobody, they will be able to find me. It's how he used me.

[His tone is cold as ice, matching the glare.]
anelegantmyth: (explaining: but seriously though)

...you mean the organization?
heartismyown: (Bad News)

[personal profile] heartismyown 2014-09-11 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, the Organization.

[He looks away, his eyes a little watery. It is just pure hot anger in the pit of his stomach like lead.]

No one ever tells me anything. Axel never told me anything.
anelegantmyth: (curious: kindly repeat that)

[personal profile] anelegantmyth 2014-09-11 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
Axel? Uhh...he was Lea's nobody right? I'm sorry Roxas. But I'm not all that sure I fully grasp the concept of being a nobody.
heartismyown: (Hmmmm)

[He takes a slow, deep breath.]

A Nobody is someone who looks like a regular person but they have no heart. Someone with a strong heart gets their heart taken from them and a Nobody is born. All of them were like Axel. Axel knew he had been Lea. He couldn't feel anything, no feelings, nothing, but he remembered what that was like. The Organization was just a group of thirteen Nobodies, doing bad things.

I'm a little different from other Nobodies. I don't know anything about Sora, I don't remember Sora and my connection to him is weird. I don't remember anything before I was born a Nobody. I also have a keyblade. Well, two, actually. Lea also thinks I happen to have a heart, growing inside me. I was numb for awhile but I've been able to feel things since I fell asleep for a month. Slowly. Even though Axel said I wasn't feeling those things, I think I was. Maybe I've always had a heart...I don't know.

Axel got his heart back and he's taken his name back. He's Lea. When we go home, Sora will be complete too.
