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.

Faye turns quickly to Dave with a frustrated expression - what the hell is he talking about? "I don't know who this Lara bitch is, but I can do all that shit just fine, thank you very much. If she can do it, then so can I. You should be calling it 'going all Faye Valentine'." She huffily pulls her drink towards her, sipping angrily from the straw.

"Really?" Dave doesn't remember seeing her do that. Did he miss it? "I mean, I know you're a sharp shooter but I didn't know you could do the double gun thing. Shit, that's awesome."

He has half a mind to explain the Lara Croft comment. It's just a game after all. But Faye looks angry again, so he decides not to.

"Ok, you've gotta show me though. Just, next time you're in the mood to really wreck someone's shit."

Faye was silently rather pleased that Dave sounded impressed and wanted to say her skills. But she didn't let it show on her face and just shrugged a little before taking a slow sip of her drink. "Maybe. If you're lucky."

"I'll keep my eyes peeled." Dave is impressed. He never met anyone who could do that before. He just never knew many people with guns, and his movies never required any.

"Oh you should. It'll be worth it." Finally, Faye smirked a little, looking a little warmer towards Dave now, and she drank up more of her cocktail.

"Sweet." He's looking forward to it, and the smile on his face makes it obvious. Dave has never seen anyone do anything that cool in person.
