Gan Ning might have been reading the map wrong as they headed west. Just a couple of days out from Isla Empieza they sighted land, which was really too early but...eh, land was land. And it looked inviting enough. Not too wintery all things considered. Might as well put in.

[this is our January catch-all log. They meant to sail somewhere for vacation and landed on the wrong island, and must now deal with very friendly but very annoying singing catfish. Whether you want to help Gan Ning unlock his shard or catch a show in the hollow interior of the island, make your threads and have fun!]

[Not even ashamed that he landed at the wrong island. Maybe a little nonplussed, since...well, singing catfish is still unusual even after having four talking turtles as crew, but eh. Gan Ning is mostly sauntering around looking to see if there's anything to do, staying away from the holes and the sound stage inside, and generally being a nuisance.

He is, at least, enjoying the slightly warmer weather and the chance to take his coat off for lengthy periods of time.]

[A short distance away from him he might see a red haired figure, stuck in a smaller hole. Her upper half is out of it, her arms pushing, and wiggling her hips to try and make it past. Then Pop... she manages to tumble out of the hole and topple to the ground.]

[She seems alright, other then the scrapped knees and bruised elbow. Oh look, she has shoes on for a change. When she goes to shore she generally does at least. But she stayed where she landed, giggling. From the hole a fish person peeked out, asked if she was okay, then meeped, and ducked back inside, dashing away after seeing the other Pirate.]

[Ariel looked up at the hole, confused to the fast dash is all. Until she saw Gan Ning]

Captain Xingba! [She called with a happy wave, moving to stumble to her feet. Someones enjoying his mistake]

[youhearthebells]

Hey.

[that was an amusing and cute sight. He can't help but stop and fold his arms, grinning a little.]

Did'ja fall in or somethin'?

HEHEHEHE

[anelegantmyth]

[What's that? You think she WON'T try to do something now that she finally left her little hiding place? WELL THINK AGAIN!

The moment she left the boat, a group of catfish caught her off guard and started singing to her. A little disturbing, yes. But once the initial surprise faded, she couldn't think of anything better than to have these guys go bother her captain.

She asked them to sing something sexy and very inappropriate while she hid behind a tree. This is what they came up with.]

[youhearthebells]

[SO. CONFUSED.

What is this even.]

Huh? Get off, I ain't into fish!

[aiming a kick at the nearest one]

[anelegantmyth]

[The fishes dodge and scatter. But The blonde couldn't help but laugh.

and laugh, and laugh, and laugh.]

[youhearthebells]

[oh, now he can hear her laughing.]

DAMMIT ALL TO HELL, WOMAN! You did this, didn't you?

[storming her way, bells JANGLING the whole way]

[anelegantmyth]

[See, the bells just make it a whole lot funnier for her.]

[youhearthebells]

[not like he can do much when he gets to her besides huffily slam his hands onto his hips and glower.]

You think it's funny, huh? HUH?

[anelegantmyth]

[She had to stop and catch her breath. Cynthia hasn't laughed like that in the longest time. It was pretty refreshing.]

Yes, oh arceus that was better than that time with the poots on Tartle.

[youhearthebells]

Ugh, shoulda known. You like gettin' my goat.

[he's still annoyed but he won't be for long. No harm done, after all, not even to the singing catfish-people]

You need a new hobby, Cyn.
