Wednesday Night

[thatched]

"'Sex' is as important as eating or drinking and we ought to allow the one appetite to be satisfied with as little restraint or false modesty as the other."~ Marquis de Sade

[haruta_xii]

[Thatch and Haruta, a random chance meeting. One of those wandering things that happen when you... wander. She's going around, no mask on, at the twilight, looking for... well, something.]

[She's tired looking, but smiling. Clearly much better then the day before. Running into Thatch she grinned, and before he could say ANYTHING about her wandering while sick, she held her hands up]

Doctors orders. I swear. [she mocked a old man voice as she said:] 'Go out. Be young. Smell the flowers. It'll do you good my extraordinary child. Find someone and enjoy.' [dropping her hands to her hips she smiled softly] I swear, it's what he said. Hello.

[thatched]

[still she's looking tired and he can't help but wonder why she's not wearing a mask. Is she looking for something or someone? With these bastard flowers she could just run into anyone and he-- doesn't want her to run into anyone they don't know. Or anyone she might regret. Generally Haruta can take care of herself and generally he'd let her... but he feels like being a selfish bastard right now and so]

I don't believe you somehow, Frogling. [but he just so happens to have brought a few bottles of fine wine for later and there are convenient benches around] Sit and share some with me?

[haruta_xii]

[Hey, she could handle herself. She's not a weak fro---okay a bit, but that was beside the point. Maybe she was headed back to the ship. Maybe she was looking for a pretty girl. Something soft or at least something casual. With everything that has happened, and ew, emotions, she felt she deserved it, thanks.]

[Running into Thatch first isn't a bad thing, just surprising. She just gave him a softened smile at his offer to share with him. Walking up to him she leaned in to look at the wine bottles, chuckling.] Is it any good here? I'm hearing there's a lot of good things on this island, but haven't heard anything about the drink.

[LOVES this island right now, she does. Mostly because what ever the hell that doctor did helped...]

[thatched]

[he chuckles and sits on the bench, hoping she'll sit down as well as he uncorks a bottle.]

Don't know. We'll see won't we.

[he holds the bottle out to her]

First sip, ma petite Haruta? [and just how high are you?]

[haruta_xii]

[She does come over to sit with him, after he's uncorked the bottle. She moved to sit on his knee instead of the the bench, turning to lean into him, head tipped to his shoulder a moment, looking at the bottle.]

[Taking it she took a long sip off it, mulled it around, smiled softly and held it back.] Not a bad choice, Thatchy.

[She leaned in and nuzzled into him a bit more, like he was comfy. Sadly it's hard to tell how high she was because so far, she's just acting like Haruta. That and what ever the doctor gave her yesterday makes the flowers not work as well as they might. Still... she was effected]

[thatched]

[as he takes the bottle back, the flowers burst to life, sending spores like glitter in the air. at this rate they'll look like Labyrinth extras He smiled and took a sip of the velvet mellow wine. Perfect as he thought it would be, and slips a hand up Haruta's back to massage the back of her neck under her hair]

Handsome Prince... I may have a hard time maintaining my composure. What ever is a girl to do?

[om_nom_namur]

Okay, so shit got weird last night. But it should be fine to go out and play if he stays indoors, right? There's gotta be a club or at least a bar with some kind of music, even if it's the middle of the week. Like hell Namur's gonna stay on the ship. He wants to dance, damn it!

So he was on the prowl. Objective one: find music, which wasn't hard to do. His ears were a lot more sensitive than most people realized, and he was fine with that. Which left him objective two: someone to dance with. The locals were warming up a little bit, but still gave him a wide berth- especially as the day wound down closer to evening. He wondered if the damn flowers would come out again, hoped maybe they were a once a week kind of thing or something. In any case, he found a familiar scent mingled in with the lot, and began following it to the source.

[booyaka_boom]

After the night that she'd had before, Selphie had decided that what she wanted tonight was just to go relax, have a nice time. On her own to think things through. As it was, though, it wasn't proving to be much fun. Selphie was on her way to go find somewhere else to go drink when she spotted Namur in the crowd. She lifted a hand and waved to him, thinking that he might find it harder to see her in the crowd.

[om_nom_namur]

She was like a bright spot of friendly color amongst the natives to him. Namur walked right up to her and without preamble or pretense, picked her up and plopped her in her spot on his shoulder.

"Found a li'l club on the edge a town. Feel any closer t' bein' up for dancin'?"

[booyaka_boom]

Selphie gave a little squeal, but a happy squeal, when he picked her up. She leaned close to him, smiling brightly. "Yeah! I guess you got me in a dancing mood! Let's go!"

[om_nom_namur]

He started off in the direction of the little club he'd found, smiling. "Now that's what I like t' hear. Sheheh! Music's a li'l bit differnt from Deesuko, but I think we'll manage. 'S inside, too. Cuz. Y' know. Flower shit. Oughta be fine though, y' think?"

[booyaka_boom]

"That's okay! Whatever the music is, I bet we can totally pull it off!" She laughed at the thought, looking forward to the club. At least he couldn't see her blushing with talk of the flower. "Uh...sure. Fine!"

Wednesday Night - Asami

[uccellodifuoco]

[It doesn't take much of a genius to figure that it is a good idea to get one of those gas masks after a first night on the island. Still, Ikki feels like an idiot, he should have suspected something when he noticed them on sale and buy one. But, no, he had supposed it was because there would be a cave or something that went deep enough and close areas with poisonous gas. Or just the fashion in the place. And as fashion nor poison matter much to him... He had ignored the masks.

To be honest, he can't fully complain, the previous night hadn't been exactly bad, just mostly awkward and totally new for him. Confusing as well. Still, he would have preferred if that kind of thing happened without external prompts. Especially not ones that cloud one's judgement.

This night, though, he is prepared. Mask in place and staying indoors should do the trick, right? Pity that his mask had been sabotaged to not work, though he has yet to notice that himself. Hopefully, the rest of the crew had gotten the memo and acquired gas masks. Anyway, Ikki ends trailing Asami's familiar Cosmos to ensure that she is safe and with a mask.]

[ex_automobiles598]

[It was right after the first night that Asami took the initiative to scour the town in search of a gas mask. She didn't have a lot of money this time around, but at this point she didn't care. She was determined not make to the same mistake as she had yesterday, especially since they weren't leaving the island any time soon. So even though she was hesitant to wander back into the town near those damn flowers, she did so anyway.

Unfortunately, she was unaware that she bought a defective mask and that apparently Ikki had too. So when Asami spots him in the distance, she's confident enough to walk up to him with a small wave. She's frowning slightly behind the mask but she makes a decent attempt to try and smile, even if it can't be seen. She also sounds somewhat cautious]

Ikki? ...I'm guesing you were affected the day before too, weren't you?

[uccellodifuoco]

[There's a painful growl at her question. He's still trying to get in terms with that, though Bolin helped it was all still new to him. He nods, hoping that she won't ask who he was with, mostly because Bolin is her friend and from her world.]

I was, I think most of us were in fact, at least everyone who left the ship until night time.

[He groans softly as he looks around at the natives, some wear masks but many others don't.]

I kind of want to burn this island, you know. They could have warned us. Now I get why there are so many kids and why they are herded back to their homes so early. I thought the people here were obsessed with curfews.

[ex_automobiles598]

[She won't ask if he doesn't ask about hers. She's completely aware that this is something most people aren't going to want to talk about at all. Ever. Except for maybe Namur, but nevermind about that for now. She folds her arms across her chest and huffs a little, it's pretty easy to tell just from her eyes how annoyed she is at the whole situation. It even carries over in her voice]

If I didn't know better...I'd say they were purposefully holding information from us. It already took me long enough to get this mask.

[It's probably all done just to troll newcomers too, she thinks]

I wouldn't be opposed to you doing that. [A pause from her] Burning the flowers, I mean.

[uccellodifuoco]

[He chuckles a bit, though the humor behind that is quite dark.]

I don't know what goes through their minds, maybe they are so used to those flowers that they fail to see why others would have problems with them. Still, I'm not a guy nice enough to forgive that kind of ignorance.

[It makes him think of the Specters, of how they had been fooled by Hades, thinking that they would be granted a new life in the new and better world that he would create. Even when Pandora told him that, he had felt no sympathy for them, it was their own fault for being fooled by such an unrealistic idea. Had it been another god, he could have understood, but Hades was the God of Death, how could anyone think that he would create anything that wasn't a world of death?

He shakes his head, both at the memories and at the natives here.]

Glad to have your support there, but I won't do it, as tempting as it is. Last time I checked flowers release even more pollen when there's a fire, with our luck, if I burned it they would release enough pollen to fill the whole world.

[And then there would be nowhere to run to. At least not without masks.]

I still want to destroy them though, I don't want to think what could happen if someone crazy enough got their hands on them.

[ex_automobiles598]

I don't know...But if they have enough sense to get the kids inside at twilight then they already know something is up. They should warn people.

[She states that last part so matter of the factly. They're selling masks specifically for the pollen too, even if she's wrong, Asami's convinced herself thus far that they just like messing with newbies.

Though Ikki is right about burning them. She doesn't want to risk polluting the air with anymore pollen than there already is. With a hand on her hip, she sighs and her gaze goes into the direction of the flowers]

That's actually a really troubling thought. I wish I could just make them vanish into thin air or something, that'll be the easier solution.

[But alas she's just a normal human]

[originaldragoon]

Another night on the island and there was no way Rose was going to spend it in town. She doesn't want another repeat of the night before. And since she stayed in town later than she intended, she doesn't have time to get back to the ship before the flowers start to bloom. That only leaves the nearby forest that surrounds the town and covers most of the island. Sure there are more flowers there, but at least she will be alone, and thus find a way to deal with the problem privately.

Before the sun starts to set, she heads into the forest. Once she feels she is far enough away from town she sits down, leaning back against a tree, and bracing herself for the effects of pollen to come.

[feetarestrange]

[She still remembers what happened the day before, and it's left Nami feeling a little restless. Because of that, she departs her pool and takes a little evening stroll around the ship. Someone to talk to, that's what she wants. But whether everyone is already asleep, or just in their rooms, she doesn't really find anyone who's also up and about.

The mermaid is just about to call it quits before she finally spots someone.]

Thatch?

What are you doing?

[thatched]

[he has done some shopping. More scented oils for one and...various other accouterments, but is eyeing the still closed flowers as he goes along the path to the ship. Only to be stopped by her dulcet tones]

I'm just heading back, gorgeous. What are you up to? You know about these things, aye? [and he shifts a bag in his arm to point at the flowers]

[feetarestrange]

Flowers? Only a little bit. [Not much in the way of those underwater.]

I remember that surface dwellers can give them to someone they like. Kind of like a gift!

[Which would mean that...]

So, who are they for?

[thatched]

Aye well these particular kind have a... pollen or such like that makes ...that causes... [he clears his throat, feeling awkward all of a sudden] certain reactions.

[feetarestrange]

Certain reactions? [Well that seemed oddly vague and general. What could he mean with that? May as well find out.] What kind of reactions?
