The Day o' Davy Jones

[thepiratesdevil]

August 31st - September 7th
Isla Empieza

OPEN TO ALL PLAYERS, CURRENT AND PAST!!





The time has come. The way to Empieza is open. The mists still swirl around and the low, greenish cloud hangs heavy over the island, flickering with green lightning. But now there is a way to get in and a place to weigh anchor. The Navs seem to have stopped functioning, though. Pity.

In any case, there is a path to the central plaza of Empieza, bordered on either side by mist that feels caustic to the touch and seems almost ready to break free. From either side and within the mist are screams that linger as they fade, rattling growls, and other sounds that could induce nightmares in even the bravest of souls.

And somewhere in the mist lies Davy Jones, the rest of the shards, and a battle that will decide the outcome of this world...and yourselves.

[Running around doing something or other and realizes he hasn't seen Zoro in awhile because HE'S PROBABLY LOST and on a whim, he sticks his head into the Backwater Brig as he dashes by.]

Oi, marimo, you in—

[......Annnnd just so happens to spot Ariel before her legs come back, flopping around on the floor SO CUTE AND LADYLIKE.

MERMAID-CHWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN~!!!!!!!

[legsarerequired]

[Oh... dear]

[She froze, eyes wide a moment. SO MUCH LOUD. She pulled her fin in a bit closer to her, and wrapped the cloth and her arms around it, leaning into it a bit and looking up to see the blond who did all the loud calling.]

Oh, ah... Hello! [She suddenly smiled brightly, waving at him. At least he wasn't bad, right?]

[serving_love]

[UWAAAAAAAH THAT WAVE!!!

She is.

So.

Adorable.

Sanji makes to enter the shop completely -- only he's too awestruck by everything and trips right at the door, faceplanting his way inward right in front of her.

...

Quickly rearranges himself so that he's lying on his side, elbow propped up and head resting on his fist. In an attempt to not speak in some warbling sort of croon at her, he pitches his voice maybe a tad lower than normal.]

Yes, hello indeed.

[......Which just sounds creepy.

CLEARS HIS THROAT, before a dopey grin settles on his face.]

I don't think we've met! I'm Sanji! You're gorgeous! Come here often?

[legsarerequired]

[Oh my, he's a excitable one. She looks around for something, though she's not sure what. Only to look up again as he crashed, and propped his head in his hand like that. That... that voice and greeting. You're a bit like Scuttle!]

I ah... [Oh. He complimented her. She smiled at that, her hands fiddling now with her wet hair, twisting it a bit in both hands.]

I'm Ariel, and no, I don't come here often, but I have been here before! It's so strange! Last thing I remember I was swimming along side my ship, and then I was here.

[Her fin flapped a b it again, under the cloth she had pulled to try and dry herself off. She wished Draco were here, with his spells and things. That made things much faster. Oh but...]

Oh, ah, do you think you can help me?

[serving_love]

[Blinks, his expression clearing suddenly.]

You've been here before? And now you're back... [Huh.] Weird. Guess the gates are open again.

[It's been awhiiiile since any newcomers have appeared in this world. And for people to be showing up again? Shit, this must really be the end.

His attention snaps back to Ariel at her question.]

Ah, of course! [Scrambles up to his knees and scoots closer.] Pleasure to meet you, Ariel-chan -- what do you need help with??

[legsarerequired]

[For her it doesn't feel that long ago, but maybe it was. She frowned, just a tad, and ran a hand through her damp hair.]

The gates? Like, the Nav gates? We're they closed? Oh my...

[She shifted as he asked what he could help with. Leaning forward on her fin, the cloth over it carefully she smiled at him.] Could you find me a dress or something? I want to dry off and then find my crew. The Hazmat Pirates. Do you know of their whereabouts?

[serving_love]

Dunno really, but we haven't had any newcomers in awhile so I kinda figure they were.

[That request has him blinking a bit, but he pushes up to his feet quick enough and starts scouring the shelves for something she can use.]

A dress, huh? Can do! You know, we got a mermaid on our crew, too, but she uses this shitty floating coral stuff to get around on land. Maybe we should get you some of that?

[Clueless about her being able to switch back and forth, hurrr.

He finds a dress -- finds several, actually, some shorter and perhaps sexier than others. Those go on the top of the pile when he hands them to her.]

Anyway, yeah, I know the Hazmats. I think they're fighting that asshole. Davy Jones.

[legsarerequired]

A while? How long as a while been? [She asked, sitting up more and watching him as he looks around for something she can wear. When he brings back a pile she grins. Oh nice, there were choices!]

I think I'll be fine on my own. It just takes a moments. Oh, thank you for all this. [She started to paw through the dresses (rejecting those that were too short) and... paused suddenly, her face falling]

Oh no! they're fighting Davy Jones? Right now? Oh... oh no. [She pawed through faster now, grabbing one with a longer dress bottom and hauling it over her head, leaving her shells on as well. She settled into the dress, it bunched up around her belly. Then with another softer dress she started to dry her fin faster.]

Oh dear, I have to help. Where are they fighting? Is it near?

[serving_love]

Dunno, maybe a month or two?

[Just watches her curiously, not really sure why she needed a dress in the first place. Even though it looks very pretty on her!!]

Yeah, they ain't far. Soon as you get outside, you'll notice shit's hit the fan everywhere. I know I saw 'em by the fountain earlier.

[legsarerequired]

Oh no... but that doesn't make sense. [She said in a confused tone. Hadn't they just heard of people come through it not that long ago? She frowned, moving to work on her fin more now that she had a dress to cover her.]

[She'd notice when she got out side? Oh dear, so the fighting was near. She dried her fin harder as she spoke.]

But I guess that doesn't matter right now. What matters is if I can help. If you saw some last by the fountain than the fountain is where I will look for them first. So long as I can find one of them, it should be alright.

[She stopped scrubbing as her fin started to change color, going from her pretty sparkly green color to more of a flesh tone. After a moment it started to part, and if you blinked you would miss it. Her fin gone and a pair of slender bare legs sat out in front of her. Her hands swiftly pulled the dress down and she started to reach for something to grab so she could stand up. Though it wasn't long for her, it felt like a while since she used these...]

[serving_love]

[Watches in fascination as her fin turns into two lovely legs, and he quickly moves forward to offer her an arm to help her get to her new feet.]

Well, that's handy. See why you wanted a dress now. [Smiles!] It suits you, by the way!

[Leads her over to the door and then outside into the town.]

The fountain's that way. [Points.] Need help getting over there?

[He should probably go figure out where the rest of his crew is eventually...]
