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.

Threaded | Top-Level Comments Only

[A: The Sun]
[She wont be on ship long. That was the worst voyage in a while. Too many nightmares too many triggers and all she wanted to do was stretch her legs and get some sun and fun. You CAN find her on the Sun to rest, sleep, get some alone time, or catch a bit of food from their fab cook. In general, you COULD catch her here for a chat or two. Through out the time they are at shore. On occasion you could find her hauling gifts or supplies up as well.]

[B: Surfing!]
[You better believe it. Board shorts in a black with emerald island flowers on them, and a dark tank top. What else did you need for a water world? She's sporting these and a few other designs most this trip, but right now? Board shorts... to go with a matching emerald board. A rent a board of course, with orange bar trip around the edges, well waxed and ready.]

[You can find her in the water, sitting on the board and chilling, or actually hitting a wave, thin legs bent perfectly and hanging ten. If you're not the surfing type and want to talk anyhow? She'll come into shore after a while. Haruta is out here once a day every day that they are here. She might buy the board...]

[C: Water park!]
[Captain, or someone else, had managed to get extended tickets to this one park, and hell, she was going to use them. water parks were pretty awesome. So either catch her at a tube, or sitting in a beach chair, laying back and shirt pulled up a bit so her belly can catch some sun. Still board shorts and a tank, unless you can convince her otherwise!]

[C: Onsen Sanctuary!]
[catch her in the lift going up the hill, chilling and watching the scenic view. Or catch her at the top making an order for a massage, or would you care to join her for a mud bath? Are you already there? maybe she will join others! Either way, she is going to spend some cash and work the stress out of her body. If not here? Then the hot springs for a nice bath.]

[Honestly, she's going to enjoy the hell out of this place.]

[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. ]

[So at the water park they have these things called sno-cones. They smell- well, they smell like shit, really. If they used to be something alive it was long ago. But Namur's trying one anyway, a bit of a holdover from when he was a human and could actually taste things in his mouth rather than around it.

He is also wearing a blindfold, in order to practice Observation Haki. He does pretty good getting around living things, but dead things that have no voice nor aura have been tripping him up.

Like... sno-cones. He's having a hard time keeping the damn thing upright.]

Hey Haruta! How's the park?

[Splortch! The sno-cone drops right onto Haruta's exposed belly.]

Aw, shit.

[She's been relaxing, catching a bit of sun and enjoying the warm heat and cool waters. She had eaten three green apple snow cones, and one blue islander snow cone that was a bit more blue flavored and very spiked. Honestly, she liked that one best.]

[She hadn't tried to eat one through her belly though.]

[She was about to raise her arm off her forehead and eyes to say hello to Namur (smile and all) when she was Splortch'ed with sno-cone. One leg drew up, the other flattened out. one arm dropped to the side of the chair, bracing herself as the other hand flew to her belly, grabbing at the cold ice that hit her.]

[Ignore the surprised squeak of sound that flew from her lips too.]

Damn, Namur! Watch where you drop the snow. Ohh ohh ohh cold. [she tossed a bit of the melting ice at his knees, sitting up to look up at his big goofy face, trying to glare, but it wasn't coming out dark and upset at all.]

[Namur squints more than usual, lifting up the blindfold and getting painful rays of so much light in his eyes. But he needs to help so he'll deal with it. Or, well, he's reaching out to help deal with it, but she throws the glob and sits up instead, meaning he just gets a handful of cold, syrupy stomach and blushes.]

Ain't like I done it on purpose, dumbass! Shit.

[He takes a swipe at her face, to rub off some of the watered down syrup.]

Ain't got no kinda voice or nothin' so how the hell'm I s'posed t' know when it's gonna fall?

[Haruta stopped, dead frozen for a moment as she realized Namur had bent down to help. a small Eeps sound at first, then she giggled softly at the swipe at her face]

Namur! [said lightheartedly, a hand reaching to pat his face, right in the middle, hand sticky, smiling at him a bit] I don't need help, ya big oaf. What were you doing walking around blind folded anyhow?

[It's high time Namur do a bit of training of his own, so this time around, he'll be wearing a blindfold around the island, in order to better tap into his own Observation Haki. Anything that lives, he'll be able to move around with deftness. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things that don't live. Like walls, or cliffs, or furniture.

Undaunted, Namur will roam far and wide on this island. The beaches are gorgeous, for one thing, the warm waters teeming with life- delicious life. Join him for the most intense fishing you've ever tried, or maybe do a little surfing with a shark fishman lifeguard. Swimming is just fine, too. He's having a lot of fun at the water park, whooping like a maniac as he runs at the slides and skids down head-first on his stomach, arms tucked in against his sides for speed. At the bottom he simply ducks his head and slips under the water so his fin cuts through the water and minimizes his wake. He'll find time to visit the hot springs at least once, but the price is pretty steep and water's water, it doesn't really matter if you put other shit in it or not. He can be found frequenting any number of shitty bars along the bay and might raise a little hell among the fish at the aquarium. He could even be talked into hiking up the back side of the island into the forest. Really, he's getting around. Run into him, or laugh as he runs into a wall.]

[Yeugh, the sno-cone thing was a mistake. Namur's not even really sure how he thought he was going to eat the thing anyway. Figures humanity'd be messing shit up for him. And now he has sticky whatever on his face. It tastes like rum but without the alcohol.]

Trainin'.

[The blush doesn't fade just yet, but the reason for it has changed. He doesn't like to admit that his Will can be broken, and that it was so thoroughly shattered by the Tamer that he hadn't even recognized his own nakama when he'd seen them. It's never going to happen again. He's going to get stronger.]

Ain't never been too good at Observation, so. 'S what I'm doin'.

[Namur runs his hand over the back of his head, then grimaces and looks at the palm. Sticky shit in his hair now.]

Damn it! Thatch's gonna have a field day.

Edited 2014-11-12 06:14 (UTC)

[Haruta isn't upset over the snow cone thing. Blushing, maybe, but not upset. She was sitting up fully now, a hand trying to brush off the sticky stuff she had on her, but no good.]

You need some work on your training then. Found me, but whoops'ed on the sno-cone.

[she reached out to his hand and pulled it closer, giving a lick to a finger and smirking (blushing) as she did. Haruta... you could have done that with your own hand.] Punch huh? Mmm the Blue one is better. Tastes like tropical and rum.

[she let him go and looking up at him, shaking her head.] Need some training help? Maybe after we clean up. Thatch sees you like this and he's taking you to the day spa for sure.

A] The Beach

After such distressing times as she's had lately, Selphie has taken herself to the beach. During daylight hours she can be found stretched out on a towel on the sand, often with some lemonade and snacks. She's got a paperback book with her too. Mostly, though, she'll be lying on her back or her stomach, catching the sun in her red and white polka dot bikini.
In the evening, she is marginally more covered up in a sheer dress as she goes in search of a nice beach bar for a stronger drink.

B] Aquariam
Selphie can spend hours in the aquariam - there's a lot to see. She's either gazing in wonder at the various sea creatures, or waiting anxiously for her turn to hold or feed this or that crab, fish, or otter.

C] Water Park
You might catch Selphie heading towards one of the water parks for the day, ready for a day of fun and throwing herself down flumes and river rapids. Care to join her?

D] Onsen Sanctuary
While Selphie uhms and ahhs about spending money on some of the more expensive treatments, she soaks and relaxes in one of the hot springs, eyes closed, allowing herself to sink into dizzy daydreams. She just has to watch that she doesn't fall asleep like she did last time in one of these things.

[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.]

[Normally he'd bristle at her comment about his training. Um, duh that is what he is doing with the blindfold, thank you very much. But Haruta quickly heads that off by licking his finger like that...

And that's pretty much the point where his brain shut down. Damn it. Restart! Restart!]

Uhm.

[Oh yes, such wit. She's clearly charmed. Namur shakes his head with a laugh, then moves in close, butting his nose against her cheek.]

Li'l shit. Stop messin' with my head.

[Except don't. Ever.]

Could go for a dive.

[Broke his brain! aw yiss, still has it. Mind you, she’s bright red too and trying not to be. She want’s this win.]

[Grinning she glanced down, shaking her head and pulled her shirt to cover over the red blotch on her belly and moved to lower her feet to the ground.]

Won't stop, never stop. A swim sounds good though. The waters around here are awesome, surfing is perfect out here. And the big slide over there? Excellent.

[she flicked her hand as it was sticky and frowned] You should make this up to me some how. [she’s honestly joking.]

Haruta was at the hot spring, waiting her turn for a massage and mud bath. She hears they’re pretty fantastic here. but first a bath to clean and open pores and relax and all that great stuff. So the tomboy is in the girls hot spring, slinking into the water and grinning as she saw Selphie zoning out over there. She tucked a towel on the top of her head and sank down on a stone seat beside Selphie. “Don’t fall asleep. Drowning in a hot spring has to be a bad way to go.”

[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.]

Selphie's body gave a small start when she heard someone beside her. Her eyes darted wide open, but when she saw Haruta she smiled and closed her eyes again. Selphie took a long, deep breath, smiling in a dazed kind of way. "Hmm... but it's probably not the worst way..."

A) The Moon

[Rose has just about been avoiding most of the crew since her private message to them. She still is not sure what some of them may feel about her being around. So while on the ship she will mainly stick to doing her chores, ~~like repairing the door of her room that a certain shark broke~~, and keeping to herself.]

B) The Beach

[Again, keeping mostly to herself, Rose can be found at the beach, and holy crap, she's actually wearing a bikini! Though, that means you can see a bruise right on her stomach, ~~again, thanks to a certain shark~~ but she doesn't seem to mind it.

[While on the beach she is either under an umbrella, walking along the shore, or actually going for a swim.]

C) Water Park!

[Rose eventually does go to the water park since a ticket was given to her. Though she wonders about the whole point of the park. It all seems rather silly to her. She eyes some of the slides not too sure if she even wants to try them]

D) Aquarium

[The Aquarium seems interesting to Rose, since it is not something that she's seen back in her own world. Being able to see sea life without getting wet is actually quite pleasant.]

On a scale a dinner an' drinks at the shittiest bar we can find t' flowers an' fine cuisine at that restaurant even Miss D can't afford, how pissed're y'?

[Namur drops the blindfold over his eyes again, but holds out his hand to help her up.]

She chuckles softly as she sank in better, shoulders under and sighing. "Not the worst, no. And you'll go as relaxed as ever." She had to admit.

"Just here to relax, or are you waiting to be called in for something else?" Like her, waiting for a massage.

Hmm, how about somewhere around ...dinner on a beach with a bottle of something red to perhaps dinner and drinks in a not so shitty bar but nothing I have to dress up for. Somewhere around there seems fitting.

[she took his hand to take the held up, then chuckles at him] No more Sno-cones for you. They go in the mouth, you know. Not on my tattoos.

[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?

Selphie opens an eye every now and then to glance at Haruta as she talks to her, but mostly seems content to talk with her eyes closed. When she answers the question, though, she glances towards the area where people were going for massages etc. "Hmm, just relaxing. Everything here is pretty expensive."

[he is having slight problems but he won't tell anyone that. He'd pretty much holed himself up in his room due to the Halloween thing because darkness had been everywhere and he'd been afraid he'd consume even himself. But now he's relaxing in a mud bath, trying to get some of the tension to go away, but he tenses as he hears someone come in, turning to look and relaxing as he sees Haruta. And he slides down up to his neck]

Is Froggy coming a'courting?

[they were shitty bars. The drinks were okay though and some of the waitresses were nice to look at. Thatch looks up as Namur's giant shadow fills the door and not a few people shrink back from it. But he waves a hand]

Morning, brother. Can I buy you a drink?
