Intro Log: April 2015

[highseasmods]

WELCOME NEW CHARACTERS!
Have an intro log for the month of April!

Who: Any and all new characters, as well as anyone hanging out on or around Isla Empieza!
Where: Near the fountain in the town center.
When: New characters will arrive around April 9th! The log is good for as long as you need it.
What: You've just been dropped on your head in a weird new world. Time to figure out what the heck is going on!
Status: VERY OPEN.

Spring has arrived in Empieza! The days are cool and occasional thunderstorms growl through the night. If the citizens of Empieza seem more anxious than usual, it's because of the pirates that aggressively roam the streets, hunting for fresh meat -- either for shanghaiing or sport. If you don't wish to be coerced to sail under the flag of Ammon the Bloody, it's best to stay out of their way.

Feel free to throw your characters here if you need a place for them to get situated and start figuring things out! Start new threads, tag into others, meet the people who might just become part of your crew! Older characters will be in and out, too, depending who is on the island at the current time.

HAVE FUN! And welcome to High Seas!

You could give those to the poots, you know. I just brought you along because I know Pat and Tootle won't be able to carry everything once I'm done here.

[Pat and Tootle. Two small floating whales that, from time to time, farted pleasantly smelling bubbles. They both floated along side Cynthia with special harnesses so they could easily carry things. But now and then, they would float over to Sting to check him out. Why was he wearing all this fur? They don't understand.]

So how does it feel, being back here?

[whitedragon_abs]

[Sting eyes the whale things. Not sure how he feels about them and their farts. What is it with her animals that eye his clothes like it confuses them. Still, he gives them some of the stuff he's been holding]

How much are you planning on getting?

[anelegantmyth]

Well...food, clothes, medical supplies. I usually get small trinkets for the boys. Sometimes I get extra booze for Kitty. New sweets for Gaius. More books to add to my library. Maybe some new furniture for the ship, and a nice dress for my birthday.

Highly doubt the poot could carry all of that, and I made it a rule to not bring my pokemon out here unless I need them. I don't need a repeat performance of one year ago.

What happened a year ago?

[anelegantmyth]

[She looks over one of the fruit stalls.]

When I first arrived in this world, it took me a month before I found a crew. I was walking around with Garchomp out of her ball and the people thought she was an omen and panicked. I was branded a sea witch and I had to hide out for a while. They had hunting parties after and one time...well, I only have marks from that night. So it's not work mentioning, I suppose.

[Sting grimaces]

Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that.

[anelegantmyth]

I lived in a cave for a month till Gaius found me. Then I was a HazMat ever since. I'd say I don't regret getting attacked. Surely I could have avoided it. But if it didn't happen then I wouldn't have met my crew now, and I do love those boys.

[whitedragon_abs]

Yeah, they're a pretty good bunch.
