We be devotin' full time to floatin'

Who: Spades!
Where: Aquatica Paradise
When: Nov 5- ???
What: Waterpark Paradise!
Warnings: Language, violence, UST- all the usuals
Style: Any
Status: OPEN!!!

With the nightmares finally subsided, the Spades weigh anchor at the next island. Thankfully, the entire thing is full of water parks! Your generous Commanders will find a way to work out a deal with one of the medium sized parks on the waterfront for an extended stay pass- discounted, of course, since they'll be buying in bulk, but if you want to go to the other ones you'll do it on your own coin- or have to sneak in. Make sure to read the island description, there's a TON of things to do here! Catchalls, dated threads, etc, whatever. Just jump in, have fun, and to hell with fiddly particulars. I have no idea how long we'll be here.

[A: The Moon!]
[Logan isn't much of a water park person, so you CAN find him on deck a lot, with Pryde. He'll be taking charge to gather supplies as he can, mostly helping Zeff with kitchen supplies if he needs it.]

[B: Beaches!]
[you CAN catch him out on the beaches, walking along and trying to get his head on right. All those nightmares had Jean more active no then normal and he's just not in a good place for that. At least a beach is calming.]

[Come, find him walking or sitting on the beach, bare footed, in jeans with the ankles wet. He wont mind the company, swear! Pryde is out with him, by the way! She's sticking close lately.]

[C: Water park!]
[WHY is he here? One of the commanders (name withheld) told him he needed to go, at least once. So he's here. He's watching. He's having a drink while sitting at a stool and watching OTHERS play in the park. Dare him to go down a tube, I dare YOU. See if any of you can get him into the water. He IS in some long shorts and topless. He CAN get wet, right?]

[C: Hot Springs!]
[He heard there was a hot springs up here. Honestly, he liked the Japanese style hot springs... when you didn't have two or three little old ladies dressed up and scrubbing the first four layers of skin off your back side. He was never going to let that one lay or go away. Anyone comes in offering to scrub brush his skin away and he's lighting the place on fire. He doesn't even have that power.]

[Still, he's there. In a hot spring, leaning back and relaxing for a bit. This? This he can handle. The hot water feels great. There's plenty of room for others, so come relax with him. ]

[After another little field trip away, Rogue is back where she belongs. Safe and sound with the Spades. Better a little (slightly awkward) trip to see Gambit than laying everyone on all their ships out multiple times to make sure they were who they said they were.

The nightmares and ever-present paranoia have her a little more withdrawn than usual, and the idea of a water park... Yeah. Not really her thing.

So the Moon? Is a great place to hide out.

Especially when she sees Pryde around. The cat's definitely gotten on her good side, and she drops her hand to pet the lynx when she wanders close enough to where Rogue's laid out on the deck, getting a bit of sun, despite how covered up she is. And if Pryde's around? Logan's not gonna be far behind. She knows that.]

[It was true. Where Pryde was, Logan wouldn’t be far behind. Mostly because after all the nightmare things? She hasn’t left his side, not more than a few yards at least.]

[Pryde came up to Rogue and nearly pounced her. ‘You’ve been gone! hello!’ was her attitude, a deep rumbling purr and she climbed over the girl, slid off to the other side, and pawed at her before plopping her butt down beside her on the deck]

Good to see you back in one piece. Ya alright?

[Logan was there, arms crossed and leaning on a barrel of water on deck.]

Am now. [A small burn to deal with, but that wasn't worth talking about. After all, it was no one's fault the shard went a little haywire while she was wearing it.

Not that she'd really told anyone she had it. It'd passed into her hands by way of being a gift from Crocker, and she'd just kept quiet about it. Not hiding it, not in her mind, just... not announcing it.] Got my head on straight.

[And Pryde is getting her deserved attention. Soft but constant pets.]

[Logan might have sniffed the air a bit as he came up, to check on her, mostly. Make sure she really was alright. She's a big girl. She can leave the ships as she wants. But he's going to want to make sure she comes back all right.]

Good. Seems like a few of us got our heads back on right again.

[he came over and stood, hands on his belt and staring off to the island. Pryde was taking her attention as needed. Papa Logan was really messed up, and Sista Rogue as gone. Things have sucked.]

Goin' to take some time on this island later?

[When Rogue speaks again, her voice is... lazier. There's more of a drawl and there's less of a bite to her words. It all flows a lot more.]

Better jus' dealin' with me an' someone else not quite right den a whole ship, non?

[And she stops. Right there. Her eyes widen, her hand stops, and she starts again with a groan.]

Damn it! Thought I was done with all that.

...Sorry. Still got a lotta Cajun up here. [She taps her temple just a bit.

Yeah. There was that much contact.]

Pro'ly not much. Water parks an' swimsuits an' all ain' really my thing, y'know?

[His brow raised at that. Non huh. And her comment... about haing a lotta Cajun in her. his other brow shot up at that.]

[Give him a second. He knows better then to think what he's thinking. Because he knows better. But god DAMN girl could you have said it any worse then that?]

[One more second, before staring over at her. Okay. Brian not broken now. He snorts]

Do I want to know why you have Cajun up there?

[That didn't sound any better.]

[Water park is now forgotten.]

'Cause otherwise we both might be dead?

[Yeah, she realizes now how bad her initial phrasing was. damn.]

His powers're basically... puttin' so much energy into somethin' it explodes.

So. Couple taps t' siphon it off. Or knock him out if it was too bad.

[he snorted hearing all that, coming to sit don beside her now, head tilted back but watching her, making sure she was alright. Pryde was curled up with the girl now, purring and head down, looking like it was nap time. Out of everyone on the ship, she does best around Rogue other then Logan]

Good to know.

Sorry, kid. I haven't been the best at helping to take care of you, have I? [at least she had the Cajun to run to if she was in a bad place. He was from her home at least. Still, he didn't like it. Mostly cus he can tell, there's something. Must be. Why else keep going to him. Other then yeah, he's from her home.]

Glad you were able ta help him though. How's your Cajun doin' now anyhow?

You're doin' jus' fine.

[She can't help but smile as she says it. After all, he's Logan. Being around? Is plenty for her.]

'Sides, I don' need too much lookin' after.

[The team she'd left and the group she was with now? Were more than she'd had growing up. She likes to think she's pretty self-reliant. Which isn't totally true, but. She can pretend.

As to Gambit...]

Still can' say "good mornin'" without lyin' twice. [She might be trying not to smile as she says it. As much as she talks about how he can't be trusted, she always know where she stands with him. What she thinks about him... different story.] An' he ain' mine.

[doing just fine huh. being around didn’t seem like enough. He’s already made enough mistakes with this girl as it is.]

I know ya don't. You’re responsible and all that. Doesn’t mean I don’t want to look out for ya.

[He smirked a bit though, at the Gambit thing. Mmhmm.] He seems attached, from what I can tell. Saved you from regret island. S’a good thing at least. Wish I could remember if I’ve ran into him before back home.

If y' have? Pro'ly better off not remembering. 'Less you met him on a good day.

[She can't help but laugh a bit. It comes out easy enough.]

One day, tryin' t' kill me. Next, keepin' me from gettin' expelled.

Then, decided t' kidnap me. After that, pulls a sorta rescue.

Swear he can' make up his mind.

I see you're shirking your responsibility, brother. [eyes him, though his exact expression is difficult to tell as it's hidden behind sunglasses] Someone will take care of that for you if you don't do it first. [sips his own beer]

Am I, brother? [he said lightly, eyeing the other and his sunglasses.]

And what exactly is it someone else will take care of for me?

Going in the water and having fun, brother. [gestures at him with the beer bottle] You might regret it if it comes to it.

This isn’t fun? [he asked, as if drinking and people watching wasn’t already a blast] I don’t see you in the water either, Shades.

Can't swim. [smirks] Unlike you. [and he will proceed to grab Logan and try to bear wrestle him to the lazy river. It's dunking time]

[Oddly enough, the staff at the Hot Springs had merely given Namur a quizzical look, like people give when they're trying to decide if you're someone they know or not, but let him in without fuss or trouble. He's been hanging out in some of the deeper springs, gulping gillfuls of warm mineral water. He can tell it's got some kind of mineral in it his body needs, because it tastes a hell of a lot better than water that ain't the ocean has any right to taste. So he winds up with his arms propped against the seat along the side, his head resting mostly submerged on top of his arms, so only the top of his head and his fin poke out of the water, rocking gently from side to side.

He senses Logan slip into the spring and languidly rises up enough to talk without difficulty.]

Hell of a journey, huh? Sheheh! Glad we wound up somewhere like this for a change. 'S nice like Serenes without the shitty plants tryin' t' murder me, sheheheheheh!

[He slipped in and had to admit, it was kind of amusing to see a shark fin in the springs. He had a feeling it was mostly empty due to this fact. Logan? He knew, so it didn't surprise him at all.]

[Getting settled in he leaned back in a seat until his shoulders were submerged, water up around his neck. The hot waters heat the metal inside and it always feels nice for a few hours after he leaves.]

I'd say this here makes it a bit better then Serenes on it's own. I could do with a bit less water park excitement though. More booze.

Sheheheh! 'S fun. Think Thash's been here before though. People ain't been givin' as many shitty looks as I usually get.

[He chuckles about it again, then lifts his shoulders out of the water too, propping his arms up on the side and resting his head there.]

So. What y' thinkin' 'bout this whole mess an' all the islands an' shit we get in?

Well, guess that’s a good thing.

[he relaxed a moment for now, eyes closed for a moment as he considered the question]

Honestly? I like the trouble. I shouldn’t but I do. Trouble finds me at home all tha time. Kinda nice to find I ain't the only one that attracts it now.

[Numur grunts, but it's kind of a laugh.]

Ain't nothin' wrong with that. Figured life on the sea was suitin' y' jus' fine, but it don't hurt t' ask. Ever got a problem with someone or somethin' we do, y'd tell us right?

[Ace would stand next to Logan for the better part of the day, saying very little as he watched his crew-mate grump up the place. Sometimes, he would be wearing a funny hat, experimenting with new styles as he looked to just keep the guy company without bothering him--since, well, everyone else had already been doing that.]

[Ace. What are you doing?]

[And he's not Grumping up the place. Well, just a bit. But still. Right no? He's stopped at a little straw hut stand that served blended drinks and things. It's hot out, and he doesn't even care. He ordered two. One red, one orange. And when he got em he shoved one to Ace.]

You've been hanging around but silent all day. What's going on, Captain? Nice hat, by the way.
