When: From 10/16/13 - 10/31/13
What: Sailin'! We'll be all over the place and the log details may change given time.
Warnings: None so far. Can be updated if it gets violent, etc.
Style: Action / Prose is fine.
Status: OPEN to crew, CLOSED to people teleporting in unless there's permission!

[This will be a general catch-all post for mingling! I'll just toss in weather for the next 2 weeks.]

10/16 - 10/20 [AT SEA, SAILING SOUTHWEST] - We'll mingle at our leisure! Ace's Devil Fruit power will push the weather at bay a little and it'll be mostly sunny skies. Also, they may encounter a ghost ship... OK, they will.

10/21 - 10/22 [ARRIVAL TO HEARTLESS ISLAND, LEAVING ON THE 22ND] - You guys can't blame Ace for a hasty escape this time!

10/23 - 10/25 [AT SEA, SAILING ?????] - The crew will be dealing with a sudden squall pending the arrival of a hurricane from the other side of the Heartless Island. As the crew may have to put everything into avoiding the hurricane, their course will be a bit... off.

10/26 - 10/27 [STONE NEST / KRAKEN NEST] - 'Nuff said. They'll leave once it becomes apparent they have nothing else to gain from being there. The weather, upon leaving, will likely be sunny because of Ace.

10/28 - 10/31 [FREE SAILING, MAYBE ISLAND #3'S INITIAL JOURNEY] - Barf. Ghost ships Round 2!

10/16 [INSTRUCTIONS], 10/17 [TRAINING], 10/18 [GENERAL]

[hiken]

(A - 16th) Ace will be easily spotted walking around the ship as he makes it his job to call out for new sailors on the ship to watch as he does things.

He'll be fixing the rigging only partially, because of The Doctor's new engine. Ace will be yelling to Thatch to tell the crew to do things as he's showing them how to do them, primarily because Ace only knows how to do it--not instruct.

(B - 17th) Training! Ace is going to make the new group navigate the ship as quickly as possible. There may also be some hand-to-hand instruction from him during the course of the day when he's not asleep, otherwise.

(C - 18th thru to 20th) General stuff! You can use (C) if you want Ace to sneak into your muse's bed/hammock in the middle of the night to sleep and be totally unnerving.

10/17 - B

[reluctantjinrou]

[Navigating the ship is no problem, but Natsuno knows his fighting skills are far less than underwhelming and he could probably use some instruction. He'll sidle up, have a look around and keep an eye on the lesson from the corner.]

[hiken]

[When he was done, Ace turned on his heel and looked dead into Natsuno's eyes.

Ace dropped down and grinned.]

You're next, Natsuno! Ready?

[reluctantjinrou]

[He's startled out of the trance he was under and he looked at Ace.]

Uh, well...

[hiken]

What's that look for? You've gotta get strong to be a pirate!

[Or carry a gun. Whichever.]

[reluctantjinrou]

I...I suppose.

[He was planning on fighting Tatsumi in hand to hand combat as it was, however the only weapon he had on him was a wooden stake.]

[hiken]

[Ace stretched out his shoulders and held his arms out, limber.]

I'm not gonna be unfair or anythin'. You ever been in a fight?

C

[thatched]

[He is lying on his hammock strung in the galley. The only empty space on a ship packed full of new kids. Not that he minds sharing a berth particularly, but he doesn't sleep much and prefers to read instead, which is what he's doing now, hair tied back for the evening as he reads a book on astronomy]

[hiken]

[He fell a few times on the way to the rooms. Ace had been overwhelmingly sleepy. The fatigue he felt wasn't from sheer physical exhaustion--rather, the activities of the day had left him so jovial he hadn't relaxed even for a moment. The second he did, he felt the need to process it all and sleep.

It was something he could have called a good day.

To which Thatch might have disagreed, given that Ace was looking to sleep in the galley and not one of the normal bunks. Though, he didn't even seem to notice--as he was nearly sleep-walking. Ace grabbed the side of the hammock and threw himself in--right on top of Thatch.

He fell asleep instantly.]

[thatched]

[he kept a beady eye on their captain unless he decided to make his way to the fridge, but figured out his course with enough time to move the book out of the way before Ace flopped on him. He grunted and shifted his weight, resting the book on Ace's head and continued to read]

You're going to get in trouble for that one day, Sparks.

[not with him of course]

[hiken]

[Which was just fine. Until, of course, Ace prompted himself in the midst of his sleep to wrap his arms and legs around Thatch and lock them like a goddamn MMA fighter.]

C!

[booyaka_boom]

*After a long day of cleaning and the first round of inspections, Selphie was feeling pretty sleepy. Once she was in her super cute yellow pjs, Selphie slipped into her hammock, covered herself with her blanket, and closed her eyes in preparation for a cosy night's uninterrupted sleep*

[hiken]

[To which Selphie would probably notice the lump against her side as Ace made his presence known.

He snored gently, arms held out over the edges of the hammock the moment he got into it. Sleep-walking was nothing new for him, so he didn't even have the conscious generosity to check when he slipped into the hammock with Selphie.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie herself is a rather deep sleeper, so whatever change in weight there was beside her and the gentle snoring went unnoticed. At some point in her sleep, Selphie turned over towards that lump, which was quite warm. That was nice. So, still sleeping, Selphie draped her arms and leg over it, though it took a small amount of wriggling and readjusting, because it wasn't squishable like a blanket*

[hiken]

Thatch... More roasted potatoes... [Speaking in his sleep, Ace's jaw went slack and he snored a bit--since he was a giant mouth breather, after all. When Selphie put herself on him, he shifted and grunted.

For a moment, he looked troubled in his sleep.]

No... I don't wanna... style my hair like yours...

[booyaka_boom]

*The first comment roused Selphie slightly, who frowned in her sleep, aware of being disturbed by something. She tries to ignore it, but then she's sure someone is talking about hair. Selphie opens her eyes, and when she realises what that is she's sleeping against, there's a loud, piercing scream, and Ace is shoved hard out of the hammock*

[hiken]

[Ace, of course, landed on his neck which cushioned the fall and saved his body. One foot still somewhat locked in the hammock, Ace woke up slowly and stared at the ceiling.]

...Why'd I fall outta bed?

B- 17th

[formerabyssinian]

[So he needed to learn a few things about ship life. He'll skip out on the training, since he could probably give a few pointers, too. Particularly those who use swords. So Aya is searching up on the deck first for Ace.]

[He wonders what he'll learn...]

[hiken]

Yo, Aya! [Ace was stretching his arms and legs a bit, readying himself for his lessons. Throwing a few shadow punches, Ace stopped and squatted down, gesturing over towards the other young man.]

You comin' to watch or take a few pointers?

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya raises a hand to him in greeting, watching him warm up.]

I'll watch for now. [Sure, he had gotten better with hand to hand combat, but he was far better with a sword.]

[hiken]

Ah, you sure? Everyone's lookin' a little shy--or, they're just chattin'. Might as well pass the time, right?

[formerabyssinian]

[While Aya doesn't mind sparring, he isn't carrying his sword with him at the moment, and is feeling less than inclined to try without it.]

[With a shrug, he steps forward, standing across from Ace.]

What are you teaching them, anyway?

[hiken]

Mostly 'hand to hand'. A lot of use are used to weapons, so I figure everybody could get used to not havin' that consistent benefit.

Especially if you're chained up, I guess.

[Something he'd have adequate experience in.]

10/18 [SLEEP]

[fierybluebird]

[Oh hey it is an Ace. Come here Ace. Come have some phoenix cuddles. Nightmares? Hungry? Marco will be there for you. Just don't gnaw on him, please and thank you.]

[hiken]

[Ace, of course, stuffed his face against a load of cool, yet fiery feathers and his nose wrinkled.

He stirred a few times, not realizing a bunch of constantly regenerating sparkly feathers were stuck in his nostrils. How would he really know? He was dead asleep.

Until he suddenly stirred, unable to breathe--sneezing out all the feathers he got stuck up there along with a little bit of fire.]

Grrrgggkk!

[He fell out of the hammock and right on his head--going right back to sleep on the floor.]
