Namur Catchall

[om_nom_namur]

[He's finally up and mostly about. But he's still got rings and a bracer stuck in his fin and he refuses to be magically healed until they are out of there. Who's got the oversized metal cutters?]

[redfootzeff]

[Will a hacksaw and a set of beefy arms do?]

Looking to get rid of your jewelry?

13th

[tactilelearner]

[It's late afternoon, about the hottest point of the day, when Rogue wanders back to the beach and finds Namur.

Unlike when they last actually spoke, she's smiling this time. Almost grinning. The peace and quiet of the island has done a lot for her -- even if it won't last too long once she leaves. For now, there's almost a spring in her step.]

Still wanna go swimmin'? Think I'm up for it now.

does the thing

[bolincredible]

Namuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur!

[ COMING AT YOU RIGHT STRAIGHT UP AT SOME POINT IN THE AFTERNOON THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU ON DAY ONE-ISH, FROM ACROSS THE ISLAND. No really I mean like all the way from across the island and maybe still kind of damp from swimming in and half-covered in sand but whatever. He's doing it.

Like hey!!!!!!! Look at you!!1! Being Namur on the island!! Up on your feet like a recovering guy!

He's going in for the hug tbh bruh, brace yourself. ]

[feetarestrange]

Hey... [Nami's glad to have you back, alive and kicking. Though she doesn't much care for the new accessory you're sporting.]

How are you feeling?

[haruta_xii]

[The 12th, early. She found him a few times, but she hand't made it to talking to him yet. For one, she felt like SHIT. What ever she got hit with made her feel like hell. Chandra was helping a lot though. Better then not at least.]

[But she had come across him on mistake this time (or was it? She felt like she was tracking him) and just stood there a moment looking at him where ever he stood...]

Namur...

[hiken]

[Ace had just been happy to have Namur back, resting on the deck as he watched the shark guy run around and be active. Ace had a sort of dizzy look on his face as he had been watching Namur so long that he nearly forgot to get something to eat when he woke up.]

[crackpotcrocker]

[Denzel rushes up to Namur because it has been forever since the man has seen him and with Namur having been gone like that, Crocker noticed how much he had been warming up to the shark man.]

...How are you? Anything I can get for you - shit?

[There's a small smirk on one side of his face.]

Catch-all for Leanne please pick a day. :3

[song_princess]

[For the first day, Leanne needed to be carried from the ship to the forest where the trees shall attempt to take her from whomever is carrying her to properly tend to the Heron.

It wasn't till mid-day on the second day that she finally show signs of recovering and was start to perk back up again and by the mid day 12th, she finally is fully perky again.]

Third day!

[booyaka_boom]

*Following the rescue, Selphie decided that it was best to give Leanne the time and space she needed to recuperate. She was glad that they managed to get to Serenes so soon, because she knew that was best for Leanne. On the third day, Selphie finally decided to go and find her friend, hoping that she'd find her feeling better. So off she went, searching through the forest, feeling much more at peace herself*

Third day

[borntochangetheworld]

[He catches sight of Leanne and grins to himself before wandering over to talk to her.]

Hello again my beautiful friend who's voice charms me every time I hear you speak.

[hiken]

[On the third day, Ace decided Leanne had likely recovered enough that she could probably do a little bit of singing for him. He didn't want to exhaust Nami, especially since his wounds were tough to heal, so he figured if Leanne were a bit more active--]

Ahhh, birdie? Where are you? [He looked around the deck, only knowing she wasn't in her cabin at that moment.]

Catch-all for Rogue

[tactilelearner]

[The peace on the island quiets everything. Every whisper of the people she's touched since she got here, even her own doubts. It all goes very quiet almost as soon as Rogue sets foot on the island.

And she might find a nice shaded spot where she can move just a little to go between sun and shade and lay down.

Most of the first twenty-four hours she's there? She will be cycling through naps. Sometimes eating. But mostly napping. Because she hasn't slept well since Stela, and her mind and body need a chance to recover.

The two days after that, her pace is still pretty lazy, but she has a bit of energy in her step and, therefore, can be found exploring. Being as careful as she can -- even shedding her boots after a wrong footfall, simply so that the heavy soles don't do any damage. It seems wrong to tromp around in combat boots in a place like this.

Of course, as the third day comes to an end... She might be obviously a little restless. Hers isn't a mind to like peace and quiet for too long, especially once she's rested up.]

[rebonding]

[Two days after the Spades have docked, Korra is starting to get fidgety. She's taken to exploring the island while riding around on the giant bubble Namur gifted her with. Even in her mellowed state of mind, Korra couldn't help but seek a little adventure. In this case, it meant pulling up a little higher on her personal bubble transport.

The problem with bubbles, though, is that they pop.

The plan backfires horribly when Korra is passing nearby Rogue. She bounces a little too close a sharp branch and the bubble is gone with an audible pop.]

Ah-!

[A muffled thud as Korra lands in the underbrush.

Peaceful forest. Yep.]

Third day

[borntochangetheworld]

[Look, it's a pretty girl exploring! Clearly she needs Sinbad there to protect her.]

Excuse me! Do you want some company?

Selphie Catchall ^^

[booyaka_boom]

*Peace! At last! Selphie is so happy for the peace, the change to rest, to just close her eyes and relax. Over the few days she can be found sitting beneath trees with her guitar, dipping her feet into lakes, and wandering around picking flowers. Come find her!*

[borntochangetheworld]

[Sinbad sidles up to Selphie while she's relaxing with her guitar and leans against the tree she's sitting under.]

Hello miss, I've never set eyes on a lady quite as lovely as you before.

[He gives her a smooth smile.]

Are you playing some music? Do you mind if I listen?

Zeff Catch All

[redfootzeff]

[Zeff had decided to stay behind with the people they rescued from the slavers. A relaxing environment would help them get back on their feet, but there's something else that would help immensely: good food.]

[And guess who's the man to help with that?]

[Since they're on an island and food's more abundant here than on the ocean, he's willing to make more special requests to help bring morale back up in addition to good healthy meals.]

[borntochangetheworld]

[Sinbad is visiting but he hasn't wandered into Zeff's domain really, but he is fishing over the side of the boat so he can feed himself (and now Ja'far if he wants). He pulls up the net he borrowed with two fish in it, pleased. Sinbad plops himself on the deck and pulls out his sword to clean it.]

Naesala catch-all

[kingkilvas]

[Last time, finding the Serenes forest in this world was a pleasant surprise. As long as he didn't think about it too much, Naesala was free to enjoy himself and relax. This time, there's too much baggage.

On the first day they arrive, he leaves Leanne to the care of the forest (something he knows even in this world, he can trust) and ventures off by himself to be alone. Unintentionally, he ends up going pretty deep into the forest. He's free to be bothered but won't exactly be happy about it.

The second and third days he's still off on his own, but he might perch in the treetops, bird-form, to watch the crew interact with the forest from afar. In the daytime he's wandering through some favorite childhood spots of his, and the nighttime he's on the beach where it's easier to see in the dark, staring into the forest with a surly expression.]

Does Mr. Grumple-Puss need his girl?

[song_princess]

[On the second day, Leanne was able to at least fly and she spots him moping about on the beach. She goes to fly towards him before attempting to land next to him.]

Such a look isn't befitting you.

bolin catchall

[bolincredible]

[ Pick a day, any day. And if you'd like to avoid any spoilers for the finale of Book 3 of Legend of Korra, hit me up. There's even a thing.

The first day's a little trickier as full days pan out, because it's more that Bolin... woke up a ways out on the water, freshly returned from his canon update, and kind of had to swim in to shore?? So about halfway through day one, he emerges onto the beach and flops over to catch his breath, and then starts getting his shit together and finding the crew. Which he does!! Frankly, that's really, really great. With fresh memory of this world comes fresh worry. They were all kind of on the tail end of some seriously scary stuff, last he can remember, and his plan was to generally stick around for that? Didn't stick, apparently.

Looks like going home for a while didn't stick too much either, though. And he can't seem to find Mako for the life of him. And boy is he on the hunt for Korra, Mako, and Asami anymore.

And then basically once he's off the beach, he's pretty much vibrating with excitement and looking to get back in touch with his piracy roots the rest of their time on Serenes. That's you guys. He loves you guys even if there are occasionally hugely complicated moral dilemmas to hurdle. The name of the game is now socializing, some hugging, some getting to know any new additions between the big Then and Now, that kind of thing. And possibly some general Book 3 spoilering excitedness in his system that I won't get into if a person's not cool with spoilers and will also mark for in the subject line.

Man, he still likes this island a lot. It's like where it all started for him and now it's where it all restarted. ]

[ex_automobiles598]

[Thanks to Ace, Asami was able to make it back pretty quickly. So as soon as she steps closer to the shore after leaving the ship, she spots Bolin flopping out there in the water and eventually flopping back onto dry land. Her first instinct is to rush over and try to help him up]

Bolin?! What are doing out in the water?

salami catchall

[ex_automobiles598]

[Now that Asami is back, she can be found in a couple of places. Aside from hanging out on the decks of the ships working on her moped (as always), She'll be strolling around most of the island, keeping an eye out for her friends all the while. She can also be found gathering roots and other herbs for tea or going for another dip in one of the many lakes on the island. Oh. Someone might also find her seated somewhere asleep, with her face plastered on the surface of a big rock and buried in her arms]

[rebonding]

[Here comes Korra, floating along on the magic, giant bubble that Namur gave her when she first arrived.]

Asami?

[She's sound asleep... all the way out here? Mildly concerned, Korra reaches out and taps Asami's shoulder.]

You in there?

September 12 - Sinbad catch-all

[borntochangetheworld]

[Okay, let's face it, without Ja'far around he got bored of adventuring. It wasn't like the island was a dungeon or something. The weird walking fish didn't do a whole lot either, just walk around. The serious lack of danger also got to him, so he secured his boat and took the orb thingy and here he is popping out on The Sun with a cheerful smile.]

Hello~? I've come to fetch someone's dog!


[A]

[Provided someone doesn't get himself kicked off, he can be found on the deck, chattering with whoever wants to be friendly with him. Maybe they want to talk about his weird clothes, badass sword, necklace or big hoop earrings. Maybe his hair is the strangest style you've ever seen.

Ladies, be aware, this one's a real flirt.]


[B]

[Let's face it, after spending a full day there, he's going to be starving so he'll try his hand at some fishing. Don't mind if he borrows the nets. Even hanging off of that great big boat, he keeps his balance just fine. It's almost as if he can move with the rocking of the boat to keep himself steady.]

A

[ex_automobiles598]

[Idk she somehow got tied into talking to him]

...So where'd you say you got that sword again?

Rose Catchall!

[originaldragoon]

[The forest indeed felt pure, which was probably the reason why Rose felt so out of place there. So instead, she mainly stayed on the beach or on the Moon doing her chores.]

[feetarestrange]

[Nami jumps out of the water. It's typical for her to go out for a swim whenever she had a chance, even when both the ships were still sailing on the open seas. As she falls back in, she surfaces and catches sight of Rose.]

Hey!

[The mermaid waves at her.]

Do you want to come in? The water's fine, and there's more than enough room for you and me.

9/13

[under_the_wire]

[A]

[One second he was trying to feed the world's biggest baby, the next he was in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. It's not the one outside of Napolia, that's for sure. It doesn't even smell the same. So poor Ja'far is at a bit of a loss. The last time something like this happened, he got stuck in that weird place with all the pirates. If that's happened again somehow...

Well, he'll be pretty pi-- angry about it.]

Hello? Is anyone there? Can anyone hear me?

[B]

[After someone manages to collect him, the new and improved Ja'far can be found wandering around in a bit of a daze, trying to readjust to being in this damn place again. If he happened to have been his former charming self to someone in the past, you may even be able to squeeze an apology out of him.]

A

[song_princess]

[Oh... oh hey! Is the little one that is always angry..... OH GOSH! He looks so cute without all of the bandages.]

I am here, little one.

[She goes to call from a tree and moves to land near him, knowing how he doesn't like other people towering over him.]

Chandra Catchall

[theartofboom]

[Well she's been gone a month, and now that her teleportation mishap seems done and nothing's trying to kill her, Chandra feels like she's earned a break. Seriously. It's just one of those things. But ugh, Serenes. Seriously? Except...there's something about Serenes that doesn't feel quite so...wrong...as it had last time.

Overexposure to mana maybe?

Or maybe she's just going nuts.

Either way, the Firebrand is laying out on the beach and looking just a bit paler than usual. Her swimsuit is it's usual orange self though, and she's got a flagon of something strong smelling sitting next to her. Come have a chat if you like. Or just lay there and look at the clouds as they drift by in this oddly calm moment for her.]

[hiken]

[Ace was laying just a few feet from Chandra, his mouth hung open in silence with a bit of drool coming down from the corpse of his lips. He was in a swimsuit and hoodie, though there was no chance that he'd go in the water without anyone to carry him--in short, zero percent.

He was sporting bandages around his arms and upper body, wounds still barely recovering despite the magic treatment he had gotten since the battles on Stela.]

Denny Catch all

[crackpotcrocker]

[Needless to say between the battle for saving Namur, Asami having gone overboard, and his fairy tracker having been broken... Crocker had been sleeping more restlessly than usually and has been more cranky and easier to set off temper- wise. The war still battered his nerves (at least he got healed magically) even if he is glad Namur is back and swearing revenge to Musa because of her having broken his fairy tracker and on top of that, having been helpless to kept Asami from having fallen overboard. She is back now and that's what mattered. At the moment he's sipping coffee from a cup and eyeing the new island wondering if he dares go on it as his eyes narrow behind his glasses and looks sleep deprived.

If Crocker can't be found there he can always be found in his workshop on the ship working on something.


Or someone might find him sound asleep in the grass on the island, maybe you don't see him but you sure do hear the snores and there's a sheer lack of sleep talking or twitching that is typically heard on the ship.]

[om_nom_namur]

[Denny's sleeping peacefully in the grass is he? How deeply? Because there is a string of stupidly loud sneezes, a congested grunt, and then one eight foot fishman flopping into the grass next to him, exhausted by the sneezing.]
