[hiken]

Who: The Spade Pirates
Where: The Sea (Heading Southwest), Heartless Island, Stone Nest
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!

Kneading. Well specifically making bread. Don't worry, I'll show you how.

[reluctantjinrou]

Alright.

[It doesn't take long to consume his food and wash his hands.]

[thatched]

Ever worked in a galley before, lad? Ever seen food made?

[reluctantjinrou]

Not really. [Natsuno shakes his head.] It was my mother's job to cook. I never thought about it that much.

[thatched]

Well now you'll learn. Dust up your hands with powder and put that dough on that counter there. [he gestures with a nod of his head] And watch what I do.

[he waits until the boy complies before going back to work, but slowly]

There's something to making food, you know. Even if you don't need it yourself, making it for others to show how much you appreciate them. Taking care of your nakama...it's probably the most important thing you can do.

[reluctantjinrou]

[It seems easy enough. Natsuno powders his hands and moves the ball of dough where requested. Kneading dough isn't terribly difficult, at least.]

I need food. Especially considering where things stand. [He murmurs.]

[A little louder, as he continues to knead.] I suppose.

[Natsuno's eyes darken as he thinks about his friend again and he pauses in his movements. He seemed to be staring at the table, and after a moment he shook his head and began moving his hands again.] I guess I don't know that much about it.

[thatched]

Aye, so you've said.

[brat. He notices the darkening eyes but decides not to comment on it because he really doesn't want to get into it. The boy's past is his own, and as far as Thatch was concerned, he could wallow in it all he wanted]

Guess it's something new to learn then. Though to be honest I'm not much of a baker. There's a knack to it. [not that he would begrudge the crew fresh bread if it could be made] Make sure to check for weevils, too. I'm pretty sure the flour is good but you can never be sure where the little bastards will show up.

[reluctantjinrou]

[Wallow, he probably would. Natsuno doesn't comment on it either, but instead looks through what he's doing for the aforementioned bugs. He doesn't know what weevils in particular look like, but any bug isn't going to be well received in their food.]

What kind of a knack?

[Natsuno turns and looks at Thatch almost curiously. He's of the opinion that if he's going to do something, he'll do it properly.]
