high_seas | A Tale of Two Summits

Who: The Golden Lion Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and YOU!
Where: Gamboller's Berth
When: Evening of Saturday, April 18th
What: Two captains throw two vastly different parties in order to gain supporters.
Status: About as open as it gets!

Gamboller's Berth, a wretched hive of scum and villainy. A muggy, rainy church of sin west of Empieza, where the foolish and reckless sacrifice their money and their lives. There really isn't a better place to host the party to end all parties. Both Luffy and Shiki have spent some time on this island, making preparations for their guests. Both crews welcome all comers with open arms, so come in and enjoy the fine food and finer booze. Take in the lights, the games, the extravagance, and when it's all over, shake the hand of the man you wish to give your support.

An effigy will be waiting for you when you pull into port-- a trophy of Shiki's. A naval galleon, sails broken away, hangs upside-down in mid-air. It does not bob nor sway in the breeze, save for the creaking of splintered wood where the hull was cleaved in two. You'll notice two objects hanging from the ship's deck: from the broken masts hangs the jolly roger of the "Golden Lion Pirates"; from the shipwheel, the Navy captain hangs by his neck. This is a testament of the Golden Lion's power, and a symbol of his wrath against those who stand in his way.

But keep on your guard. Gamboller's Berth is not a safe port by any means, and the locals may not take kindly to such a large foreign presence. The tides may change at any moment.

Heh. Well, I'm just glad it's over. I wouldn't want to go through puberty again.

I much preferred the rain of booze. The pinching was annoying but Sanji made some pretty incredible drinks.

Haha, that was interesting.

Seriously though I'm not kidding. Go ask Sanji for one of the minty drinks he was making with it. Who new Mint and alcohol went together so well?

You've never heard of a mojito before?

Nope. My world isn't exactly like this place

Huh, interesting.

Well, just another thing showing that each world's different. I got in argument with a kid who was convinced each world's magic worked the same. You should talk to him and tell him about the runes.

That's always fun. I'm on a ship with an... Alicorn... Like a mix between a unicorn and a pegasus. Regardless, the only unicorns I had met before this were horny douchebags and flaming zombies.

Flaming zombie unicorns? [Maybe he heard that wrong?]

Picture a Unicorn in your head [pause] Ok, now light that motherfucker on fire and have it trying to kill you alongside an assload of fucking zombies. [under her breath] fucking neclord

[dryly] That sounds like loads of fun.

Anyways. What do you think of f the summits so far?

[all it did was confirm that she made the right decision joining the straw hats. The other crews had interesing people but she felt good following that idiot into whatever battles would come]

It made me glad I stuck where I am. As much of an idiot as Luffy is he brings out something in his companions. That other guy?

[Holy shit that other guy reminded her of the ambitious assholes she'd fought against in the past]

That guy's ambition is going to get him and those that follow him killed. I didn't even need to go to his summit to know that.

I went to his. He promised to spar with Roxas and I'm on babysitting duty. Besides, I wanted to know his plans, just so we're not blindsided later on.

[the problem with being in a place like this is that it's hard to trust anyone.]

How did you feel about it all? Anything we should look out for?

Not sure yet. He's playing host to whoever shows up. Really laying it on.

Later is when he wants to sit down and discuss stuff.

Hmph. I'm satisfied where I'm at. Luffy is an idiot but his thinking is more sound than I expected it to be. I'll trust in what he's doing.

Gan Ning's not bad either. And Roxas is like a little brother already.

Gan Ning? Is that the ridiculously good looking guy with the tattoos?

[Immediately breaks eye contact for a second and takes another big gulp from her mug. Dammit Lorelai]

[Laughs and takes a swig of his beer]

Well, he is pretty easy on the eyes.

You aren't kidding at that. At least you have something to look at after you get done throwing up all over the place. [Snickers]

I never actually throw up. That makes it worse.

[OH GOD THE HORROR]

Oh god, that was the only way I ever felt at all better my first time at sea.

[she gives him a sloppy drunken hug]

I hate my stomach. [Excepts the hug]

I don't envy you. Hopefully you find a more efficient way of taking care of that.

We got a guy who does potions. I'm hoping he'll come up with something.
