Beach party beach party

[youhearthebells]

Who: Hazmat crew!
Where: Aquatica Paradise (and sailing to it if you'd like)
When: appx Sept 24-30 (or, for sailing, anytime the 14-23)
What: VACATION. They've had a rough summer so it's time for some downtime. There are water parks, beaches, and an obligatory onsen, so mix and mingle with the super-happy (and young and pretty) locals and have some fun!
Warnings: not likely
Style: anything you want
Status: closed to Hazmat crew only unless another crew is on the island?

[Gan Ning promised his ragtag crew a party, and by god, they were going to have a party. It might have been worth it to hold on Isla Empieza, to mingle with other crews there, but there wasn't much going on there to stick around for. He heard from someone in the harbor about this island and decided it would make a great place for a party.

Somewhere along the way Raphael disappeared, sadly, but the rest of them continued on. They had already put off partying for too many reasons - a poor showing in the race, other crewmates disappearing, Cynthia's rescue from the clutches of giant spiders, and so on. No more. This time, they were just going to put down anchor, hang out on the beach, make some ice cream, and have a good time. Besides, with Tsuzuki joining the crew, they had to show him that they knew how to stick together, right?

((ooc: for all your info needs the island is here. Date your threads in the header if you need!))

[oh hey, Garchomp. Gan Ning pats her gently on the head and lets her play with the bells as usual. Never deny the fighting animal a toy.]

What's the matter? You feelin' okay?

[anelegantmyth]

Who...Who are you?

[ Dealing with a misty figure was one thing. But her dragon was being nice it. Her dragon is NEVER nice to strangers. ]

[youhearthebells]

Uh...

[he's taken aback for a bit, blinking. How do you answer that?]

It's me! Gan Ning! You know, Gan Xingba of the bells? [taps one of the bells, which apparently excites Garchomp a bit] Your captain? The guy who rescued you from the spiders? What's the matter, how could you forget that?

...unless you're pullin' my leg.

[anelegantmyth]

[ She couldn't understand a single thing it was saying. It was all so jumbled up she could barely make out anything, except the bells of course. It was still weird how the bells were the only clear sound coming from this thing. But maybe this could help her somehow. ]

Ok...thing. If you're trying to tell me something, I really can't understand you. But I can hear your bells. Do I know you from somewhere? Ring once for yes and twice for no.

[youhearthebells]

[he's boggled, enough that there's a long silence, but eventually he decides she's not toying with him and he ought to try this code she wants. So he taps a bell once.]

...damn, what the hell, even...

[anelegantmyth]

Are you here to hurt me?

[youhearthebells]

[two furious taps on the bell, not that it stops him from answering out loud as well.]

No, of course not! Cynthia!

[anelegantmyth]

[ She takes a step back when the figure responds in a rather loud manner. It said it wasn't there to hurt her. But that last response MAYBE made her think otherwise. ]

Do you...care about me?

[youhearthebells]

[well, that might be considered a complicated question, but the answer sure as hell isn't 'no,' so he taps the bell once. No shouting this time, because he's completely confused by the way she's acting.]

[anelegantmyth]

[ Ok so it cares about her. That's comforting to know. Even though she has absolutely no idea what exactly this thing is. She just wished she could ask something other than yes or not questions. Sigh. ]

I really wish I could understand you. I don't even know what to call you.

[youhearthebells]

Seriously? You can't even understand...?

[in an extremely rare flash of actual brains, Gan Ning gets an idea and hunts around, snatching up a stick that washed up on shore and writing in the sand.

Well. "Writing." He easily draws the characters that form his name, without even realizing that no one else around him can read the Han dialect.]

[anelegantmyth]

Uhm...

[ Ok, that looks odd. She KNOWS she's seen those characters somewhere before. Not sure where, and obviously she doesn't understand what they mean. But she's definitely seen them. ]

Okay?

[youhearthebells]

Ngh, come on! You can't read that?

[he adds 兴霸 for his style name, just in case, though the writing is somewhat more fluid and the lines are more squiggly here and there. Oh, those Han.]

C'mon, woman! I know ya don't call me that but you gotta know it!
