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!

What's that supposed to mean?

It means... that I'm gonna have to come up with a completely new rota for you. A special one.

*So she holds out a hand, expecting that he'll be happy to hand over his old one*

You'll have different duties.

[Narrowed eyes because he doesn't honestly trust her, but he gives her the paper anyway.]

Or you could just leave me be. As long as I clean then there's nothing for you to worry, and I don't intend to slack off.

[He's not good at doing nothing after all.]

*Selphie takes the paper swiftly, and folds it up several times until its small enough to fit into the small pocket of her skirt*

Are you kidding? You're one of the crew that I worry about the most. I'm not worried about your cleaning, but you definitely need to work on your social fun skills.

[He isn't surprised.]

I don't. And you're in charge of cleaning duty, not on social fun duty, so don't even think of that.

You do so. You suck at having fun. Seriously.

*Because this is a very serious matter*

And I'm your friend. And part of being friends with someone is being able to have fun with them. So...

I don't, I just haven't had the chance to have fun yet.

[And since when they are friends? Ikki narrows his eyes but says nothing, even if he doesn't agree he's used to people thinking he's their friend. Like Seiya and the others, except that he's not, even if they are his brothers and he's always there when they need him and worries over them.]

I've the feeling that for you everyone in this ship is your friend, you must have a lot of worries then.

You've had loads of chance! You're on this ship, with lots of cool people to hang out with. How much of that have you been doing?

*Okay, so Selphie has no real idea that anyone could possibly dislike her, but she knews for sure that there are plenty others on the ship worth being friends with*

Well, yeah. Everyone on the ship is my friend. Aren't they all your friends too?

That's not how I have fun.

[Ikki doesn't dislike her, in her own way, she's quite likeable. He just doesn't do this "friends" business.]

Of course not. They are my crewmates, that's all.

Oh, so we're not good enough now, huh?

*Partially teasing, partially somewhat bristled*

Tell me, how do you have fun? What can we do for you to make you happier round here?

You guys can't do anything. Unless you can make us be attacked. I have plenty of fun when I bring my enemies down, one way or the other.

[Actually that's really the only thing he knows how to do. Having fun was never something he learned but he will die before he admits it.]

You know what? Screw you. You can be as mean to me as you like, but the rest of the crew? No way. That's not fair. We can do plenty - you're just too stupid to realise that.

*She's pretty mad by now, so the point where she feels like she could hit him. But she won't, though her hand does ball into a fist. Instead, it grabs the rota back out of her pocket and she thrusts it hard towards his chest*

Here. You're back on your rota. I'm not having you thinking you're better than anyone else. Even if you do wanna do more cleaning.

[He actually smirks at that and shakes her head.]

You really don't get it. It's not about being better than anyone else, it's actually the contrary. And you would do well to remember that and save your time.

[He takes the paper again, though he has no intention of following it as he already stated.]

And make no mistake, not being friends and having fun with others doesn't mean that one can't work with their companions or that they think said companions are useless.

*The frown on Selphie's face relaxes as she realises what he means. It dawns on her that she's part of that 'not being friends' group too. When it does, she does her best to appear nonchalant about it*

Yeah. You're right. People can still work together. That's the main thing.

[Ikki studies her face for a moment before he speaks again.]

You're a good girl, smart and fun to be with, but you really shouldn't waste your time with those who aren't good enough for it. For your own good.

[Nothing good comes from getting close to Ikki after all. Everyone ends burned one way or another. Confident that she gets it and won't bother herself with him anymore, he actually smiles at her before he turns, waving the paper lightly as he starts to leave.]

Don't worry about the cleaning either, I will do what's required of me and more. If anyone ends without things to do because I got to do it before them and it annoys you, just tell them to be faster next time.

*Selphie looks at him, not really sure how genuine or patronising he might be being. Either way, she didn't know how to take the comment - but what she did notice was that last part, about not being good enough. She was ready to say something, but then he looked like he just wanted to leave, and this time she felt it was best if she let him*

Oh. Right. Okay. Don't worry, I will. There's pretty much always something to do...

*She manages a smile back, waving her hand just a little. He could leave now if he wanted, but she was far from being done with bothering herself about him*
