Who: The Crew of The Shepherd
Where: Various locations
When: Month of January
What: General crew log
Warnings: None at the moment; EDIT: attempted homicide, violence, and all around insanity, in accordance with the new event
Style: Whichever you feel like
Status: Closed to crew members

And so, at the beginning of January, the Shepherd set off from Isle Impieze back to Green Breeze Island, intent on revisiting what they'd discovered there; there were new crew members after all (in fact, the crew was almost completely different at this point), so there was more than enough justification for it. It would take some time reaching it, but the ship's supplies were well stocked so that wouldn't be an issue at all.

That wasn't the only change, however. The crew had since elected a new captain, and as such, this voyage was a proving grounds for the new status quo.

     "That's a question? Figured you'd know better by now," he replied, allowing for a quick smile. The boy didn't understand. Just like so much of the rest of the crew. This was going to be fixed, and soon. They didn't know, but he, Mana, Alice and Hubert did. It was up to them...

He did know better, but it seemed like it was polite at least ask. But he had been told that things had been funny as of late, so he was also making sure it was actually what he was doing.

"I forgot." He laughed slightly, putting a hand behind his head. He wasn't sure what was going on, but it didn't make him feel any more comfortable.

     The thief shrugged, and if that was all the boy had to say, Gaius looked to be on his way. He began to start past him. If he was going to be doing anything, he'd rather get the jump on Finnian from behind, anyway. Still, he was on his guard, a little more so since he wasn't alone in this hallway. Did the kid suspect something?

He just smiled slightly, turning his head. He wasn't really suspect as people seem more preoccupied with the others who had gone weird and Finnian while knowing he should join in to help knew that his skill wouldn't be as useful as to what the others could do.

"I hope you find what you want, but I would be careful."

     "You should."

     The words were spoken under his breath, and he hadn't gone more than two steps past Finnian when he'd drawn his blade. It slid out of its sheath effortlessly, the faint ring of metal about the only obvious sound before Gaius pivoted on his heel, and with an almost lazy twirl of the sword, he drove it forward towards the boy, hoping to catch him off guard as he'd turned his head away.

Finnian should have been more curious towards the guys attitude, but he was rather clueless to notice the exact signs, nor did he have the knowledge to notice different attitudes, so when he heard a faint ring to metal, he hadn't been sure what exactly it could have been.

There were many different possibilities after all. So when he felt the sting of a wound on his side, he had glanced towards where the pain had come from. When he did he realized that he was just attacked and if there was one thing he knew he was suppose to do at home and that was to protect.

Moving away, he spun on his heels, hands now tightly turned into fists as he went for him, choosing to aim at the floor, causing a rather huge hole. Just to show him that he honestly now meant business.

     Having heard of the cases of Finnian breaking things here and there aboard the ship, Gaius had expected he'd be a tough kid, but not quite this way. He jumped back, bringing his sword up to deflect splinters of wood as the boy punched right through the deck below them.

     He let out a low whistle as he eyed the damage, his attention flicking back towards Finnian.

     "Guess you're going to be difficult."

He stepped back, his hands still clenched together. He had never really gone up against someone with a sword before, so this was all new to him and it made it difficult.

"I wouldn't be doing a very good job back home, if I wasn't able to defend myself." Sure, he says he was a gardener, but he knew he also had a second job. To protect the Phantomhive house at all cost and protect the people inside. Even if the place did get a good deal destroyed the last time.

"But I don't quite understand why you are doing this."

     "Not like it matters," he said almost casually, settling into his usual offensive stance. He readjusted his grip on his sword.

     "Everyone's going to die. Simple as that."

     How fast was the kid? Was he just obscenely strong? Gaius moved again, although not directly for him. He darted aside, turning once he seemed to be passing, only to lash out again as he did so. He didn't want to be caught at the end of Finnian's fists, after all.

"But why, what has changed to want us dead." He asked, while trying to for once think of what to do next.

He needed something to help against the sword, but on his person, he had nothing due to his strength and his habit of breaking things. After taking a few steps back to try as best as he could to avoid said sword, he thought about the deck and what was on that he could us.

She turning around, he was going to make a break for it, hoping he could get there in time.

     "You wouldn't be able to understand it."

     So the kid was choosing to flee? Gaius clicked his tongue against his teeth. Couldn't have him get far, he didn't want him bringing others to attention. Besides, Mana and Alice were already on the move. He had to see how things were going on their end, be there if they needed him.

     The thief was pretty quick on his feet, and if Finnian didn't watch it, he might find another pass of a sword being swung towards his back as Gaius followed in pursuit.

Finnian made his way towards the deck as fast as he legs could take him. Making sure to dodge when he had to, getting a slashed down his left arm as he did.

Upon reaching the deck, he looked around, now where was something that could help. The only thing he could think of using was the mast. But that was rather big, but it was the only thing he could think of.

So moving quickly, his arm bleeding as he went as he used it to punch the mast snapping it as he soon made something out of the now broken mast. "Okay, now I feel safer against a sword."
willwork4sugar: (Buh?)

[personal profile] willwork4sugar 2014-01-20 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
     He hoped no one else was up on deck the moment they reached it. He began to see that he'd mistaken Finnian's reasons for wanting to get up here. Wincing at the crunch of wood as the boy's fist met the mast, Gaius couldn't help but stare for a moment.

     "...seriously kid? Not that I'm a ship expert, but that part seems kind of important for sailing," he muttered, though he wasn't going to let down his guard now that the boy had a weapon. It was huge and hopefully as unwieldy as it looked, so at least Gaius knew he had some chance of dodging any swings.

     Noise out on the beach beyond had caught his attention at that moment, and the thief stole a quick look out past the edge of the ship. Sounded like the girls had already started. They could handle themselves, right? On the other hand, if anyone had been aboard and drawn to the sound of the mast coming down, Gaius might find himself with a lot of unwanted company soon.

     He looked back at Finnian. Try to finish this one, but if not, well, he was better at playing support anyway. The girls might need a hand down there.

     "Round two, Finnian."

     Gaius hopped up on the railing and ran along it in the boy's direction, anticipating the swing of the massive post.

"I promise I'll try and fix it after this is over." She said, kind of now worrying of the conscience of his own stupid actions to keep himself safe. But when he thought about it, keeping safe was something one would always do.

Keeping an eye on his movements, he choose to do the best thing possible. Swing it around and around and fast as he could. So turning on his heels he started, moving the giant piece of like like it was lighter than air.

Around and around he went, trying his best to not get too dizzy so soon, otherwise this could be over sooner rather than later.

     Yeaaah, not happening.

     Gaius wasn't about to take his chances with that. One hit and he'd either be flung really far out to sea or break a lot of bones, and neither option seemed very appealing. He tucked into a roll as soon as he realized that Finnian was just going to keep swinging, and he didn't come out of it until he was well at the other side of the deck, just out of range.

     He frowned as he watched the boy, thrusting his blade back into its sheath. Crude tactic, but effective, he decided. He'd just have to come back to it, or let someone else handle Strongarms. Besides, things seemed to be getting shiny out there on the beach.

     So long as Finnian kept moving, maybe he'd think he'd hit the thief if Gaius slipped away. The thief jumped up onto the railing again, and then after a quick glance below, dropped on down, grasping hold of the rope to one of the life boats. Barring any interruptions, he'd make way for the beach to see how Mana and Alice were handling their fight.

((OOC: Hope you don't mind, and that it wasn't so abrupt? I wanted to try making this work out into Mana and Alice's fight thread up there since I'd had Gaius slip in when I thought I wasn't going to get tags on this end. -although thank you for hopping in. :D))
