The Bloody Roses Catch-all Thread!

[redcinemareel]

Grell | January 5th | Midday: The Docks

[redcinemareel]

[The crew just docked at the island, and after making sure everything is secured, Grell makes her way off her ship. She's not quite sure where to head off to first. Greet the captain of the other crew, go shopping, or mingle...

While she's thinking, Grell is standing on the dock, looking over her vessel with slight worry. She pushes back a lock of hair before giving her ear a light scratch.]

Dave Strider | January 5th | The Docks, In The City

[dersite_dj]

[Coming off of the deck of the Bloody Roses' ship, Dave hovered and flew for awhile before touching down on the pier. He wore a gigantic set of headphones with the Apple logo on them, clearly a piece he made for himself rather than official merchandise.

The important thing to know was that he was blasting Cypress Hill on his headphones loud enough for everyone around to hear, his aviator sunglasses also lighting up with the Apple logo. Apple hadn't patented EITHER of those products. He was dressed up as plainly as possible--jeans, a long-sleeved red and white tee and bright red sneakers which were actually borrowed...]

...Man, this island looks shitty already.

[redcinemareel]

[Gosh, she could hear his music from standing a few feet away from him. Of course the best thing to do is throw a rock at him!]

January 6-10, Around the City, any time of day

[hisoldtricks]

[There's something to be said for having powerful illusions and having the ability to manipulate minds. Thus it is easy for him to gather goods and valuables under the guise of shopping. His regal appearance, now "dressed in the garbs" native to the island complete the look of a well to do aristocrat.

The addition of a "servant" walking behind him carrying his goods aids in selling the illusion. From store to store, he surveys the various goods and accesses which would be more valuable for him to take back to the ship.

Of course, he does take the initiative to pick up food and other practical goods to restock the ship as he might not eat a lot but the others may. Though he main focus is weapons, jewelry, liquor and valuables that can be resold for more cash later.]

January 6th, to a more "sane" Grell!

[redcinemareel]

[Grell had been window shopping for a while, not because she wasn't interested in buying, but taking a stroll through her favorite island is fun! She does spot Loki in the reflection of the mirror. He's dressed normally in the reflection, but upon turning to greet him, she sees something completely different.

Blinking, she glances to the reflection in the glass again, then to this new version of Loki, garbed in fine clothing and with a helper carrying his treasures.]

...how are you doing that?

The PINKIE PIE CATCH ALL THREAD!! January 5th: Walking down the city streets!

[elementofcupcakes]

[Because she totally deserves her own thread!

Pinkie is rocking a neat pair of goggles with a gold finish while hopping around the island. Gummy is also with her, with a spiffy gold monocle as his special accessory. Her mission is to find some glitter and anything else really cool and shiny!]

Hey, Gummy! Maybe we should get a new saddle pack! Or a wagon! We can't keep carrying back our stuff with just our mouth all the time! We'll lose teeth! [She blinks before laughing.] Well, I'll lose teeth!

[Right, baby alligator. No teeth.]

[heartismyown]

[Here Roxas was, minding his own business and wandering around having a look when he sees a pink horse hopping down the street. Wow. It's little, but it looks soft. Curious, he turns around and starts following after her. He's never seen anything like it. She looks all puffy too.

He gets as close as he can and reaches out to touch her tail.]

[dersite_dj]

[Out of nowhere, Pinkie Pie would be interrupted as Dave walked by, listening in on a conversation.

He turned around, looking right at her before he jumped away, hands at the ready.]

Woah, what the FUCK?

Selphie on the Shore - Open to ALL!!!!~

[booyaka_boom]

*Being away from her crew was probably the best idea for this next activity that Selphie has taken up. While she thinks she may be hidden from her crew, or anyone else, it's entirely possible that she's visible by people coming to or from the town, or elsewhere on the island.

Selphie's face is a picture of concentration - what she's trying to accomplish is very serious indeed. There's a small paperback book balanced on her head, and she's walking up and down the path wearing a pair of heels that she is rather precariously balanced on herself. Or rather, wobbling. There's a lot of teetering and potential calamity. In fact, if you get close enough, you'll see that the knee of her tights is torn. Oops*

[formerabyssinian]

[While most of their crew were either crashing planes into their ship or down at the hot springs on some tour, Aya decided to take some time for himself while he could. Walking down to the shore, he doesn't expect to see Selphie already there. She seems pretty preoccupied with...something.]

[As he gets closer, he sees that she's wearing heels. On a sandy pathway. Even Aya knows that's a bit dangerous. He doesn't want to break her concentration just yet, so he stands at a distance away. Close enough that she could notice him naturally, but far away enough for her to concentrate on her task.]

[thatched]

[he watches for a while, though out of sight from her. But after some time he feels free to comment]

The key is confidence.

[letteropener]

...What are you doing?

[Oh, don't misunderstand Celestia. She understands perfectly what Selphie is doing. But she can't just straight-out ask 'why' without prelude...]

[delicate_maiden]

Hey, Selphie! What're you up to?

[Kai smiles and waves cheerfully. She's not exactly sure what's going on, but it definitely looks like some sort of training.]

Aya: January 5th and on aboard the deck of....whichever ship is most empty.

[formerabyssinian]

[Not wanting to get too rusty at his sword skills, Aya practices some basic moves as a warm up. His shirt is off, so anyone can see the star-shaped wound on his abdomen and a gunshot wound on his left shoulder. As time progresses, his moves become more advanced as he attacks an invisible enemy, mixing in twists, turns, aerials, and lunges.]

[It's obvious by how much sweat he's covered in that he's been at it for a while now. He isn't going to stop anytime soon unless someone comes about to chat him up.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas hasn't met Aya yet, but interestingly enough he's got a sword out. It's a different kind of sword than what he's used to. Aya is pretty good though, so he's worth watching.

He hops up and sits on the railing.]

Hey.

[Aside from the greeting, it's up to Aya if he wants to chat.]

Lea, attempting to be more social (Throughout the week, on the island or on the Moon)

[by_heart]

[Okay, so his best friend has become a social butterfly, sticking his nose in everyone's business and chatting up a storm. The little notebook in which Roxas has been keeping track of all the people he's met had been proudly presented to him every day for review and, honestly, it's starting to make him question what he's been doing with his own time. Sure, helping Thatch out in the galley and keeping tabs on the journals as ordered takes up some of his time, but how is he supposed to be effective at all in intelligence gathering if he doesn't know who any of these people are?

So now he's been trying to start up conversations with people from all three crews. This being Lea, though, "starting up conversations" means "finding something conspicuous to lean on and greeting people who get into range with a "hey" and a nod. Because he's just so cool like that.]

[elementofcupcakes]

[Whenever Lea says 'hey' as Pinkie hops past, she'll give a bright reply.]

HEY!

[And keeps on going. There's a party to plan!]

OPEN LIKE A PINATA! ROXAS' FIRST BIRTHDAY! January 6th!

[elementofcupcakes]

[There are decorations EVERYWHERE! Even the galley and bathrooms! There's confetti on every deck of each ship and balloons stringed together that somehow link all the ships together, too. The air is filled with joy, music, more confetti, and excitement!

Pinkie is first to start a pile for presents next to the ice cream cake (can you guess what the ice cream is?!), even if hers is hoofmade. An extra special pirate hat! It's red with gold glitter that spells his name!

Don't worry if you don't have a present! Just come and celebrate his first ever birthday!]

Birthday Boy!

[heartismyown]

[Roxas comes back to the ships from going out earlier in the day and he's completely amazed at all the decorations. He's never seen anything like it of course and it's all so bright and fun. Kind of reminds him of a Struggle tournament, only amped way up.

He climbs on board, looking around in awe. Oh look a cake! Just like Pinkie Pie said there would be. He can't help but go over and look. How did they make the ice cream like that?]

[collagehero]

[Hajime has never even talked to Roxas before, but if there's a party, then HAJIME IS THERE! Nevermind that she had to pop over from Isla Empieza to get here! She's even fished through all the boxes they found on Breakneck Cay and found a present! What is it? ...a present! She's wrapped it beautifully in some leftover fabric and tied it with a big bow.]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[Whoever's birthday it is, surely they'll hear. And so will everyone in about a three mile radius.]

[booyaka_boom]

*Now this is the kind of party Selphie can really get behind. Someone clearly knows how to decorate properly, and how to really throw a party. Yup, Selphie gives everything an appraising look.

Usually, Selphie would be straight in there and having fun, but this time Selphie just gives everything a small smile and a tight nod, eyeing the strings of the balloons for a long while, touching them gently. She smirks, almost laughing out loud, sharing a secret to herself*

January 10

[serving_love]

[After this post showed up in the journals.

You can find Sanji standing in Luffy's usual spot atop their ship's figurehead, staring blankly out at the sea with his hands in his pockets. Every so often he cocks his head a bit, like he's listening to something you can't hear.

He's also humming this tune very softly.]

[yourotherleft]

[with Luffy flailing around and the concern mounting around the Spades' ships, Zoro is fast losing track of who he can trust to be intelligent. He's sure Robin is still okay, and he thought the cook was on the level, but dinner last night was really salty. And now he's standing up there, even after Luffy and Marco have been yelling about not spending too much time on the ships because of infection.

Nope, he's going to have to check this out for himself]

Oi, cook. What, is there something out there?

January 10

[allendsmeat]

[It's not right. Has Sanji gone weird like Ace? It's hard to tell cuz he doesn't seem mad but-- He's standing in Luffy's spot. Like he's claiming it. But he's so still. And humming...]

We're gonna find a doctor...

[for Ace... and maybe Sanji, too.]

So don't worry...
