Open Mikey Thread - 4/1 - 4/9
[While trapped on board, watching the ship come in FAR TOO SLOW, he's on deck, bouncing, waiting to get out there.]
[While on land? He's everywhere. Over here, over there, anywhere. You can catch him in town, trying to talk to PEOPLE, because they don't have to HIDE (or so he hopes). And at night he can be found back at the ship and trying to wind down.]
[Careful, he's blowing egg yokes out of any eggs he cooks and saving the shells.... meaning he will have smoke bombs again soon. As soon as he can figure it out.]
[Seriously, come find the hyperactive turtle anywhere. Or he might come find you. I promise, he'll calm down, once he expels some of this energy.]
4/4
He walked over behind him before finally speaking up.]

Open - 4/2 - 4/10
So Leo will most likely be walking around town, still getting used to the idea of not having to hide. Might be looking around for more supplies for both the ship and himself. He may be at the shipyard to see how much a certain stolen ship was in order to pay it off. Maybe just sitting around and reading his journal or taking a breather.
He can be anywhere at anytime. So feel free to approach the blue-masked turtle. He's feeling like himself again now, so don't be shy.]
4/5 - aka after Ning dude's announcement
So he hunts him down in town easily enough, then leans up against a nearby wall as Leo walks by, arms crossed behind his head and casually waiting to be noticed.]

4/2ish?/Open - Tracking down an elusive Cynthia-mon
Yeah. Real helpful.
Consulting his journal would have been a little more helpful in that he could have used it to get in touch with her, but go figure he had left it up in the crow's nest of the ship, and so it had until now been forgotten. So that's why Gaius had spent most of the previous day once they were back in port doing things the old-fashioned way, listening around town and asking questions to slightly inebriated men in the taverns.
....okay, so he also stopped by the bakery. Since they were in town, there wasn't anything wrong with swapping recipes and getting to use the oven in exchange for making them a few pies to sell on the side.
This is why Gaius is carrying a basket with him as he walks along the shoreline to look out at the ocean. He'd heard the sailors talking about some monster around here, and something about a witch, the latter of which he's a bit more wary about than the monster ever since that other witch incident several months ago. Of course, he'd rather not run into a big old sea monster either.
Setting down the basket on a rock, he carefully pulls out his prize from the bakery- a freshly made cheesecake, and it had cost a pretty penny by way of service in that he was expected to make a dozen pies for tomorrow but he considers it totally worth it. After all, he didn't think he'd ever get to try this thing unless he went to New York or wherever Raphael said he was from.
He sets the plate down reverently on the rock beside the basket, rubbing his hands together, but a glint in the sand catches his eye, some distance away. Well...he doesn't see anyone else out here, and he'll be real quick about it. So off he goes down the beach.
Candy? Not candy?]no subject
For the past few days, they've been eating nothing but fish, plants and chocolate coins. If anything, cheesecake would DEFINITELY bring a smile to his master's face. So without even a second thought, he picks up the plate and races back to the cave.
The locals thought she was a witch right? Maybe this was some kind of peace offering?]

4/3 open- bonding and stuff!
So if anyone needs her, she'll be on the deck counting stars. That's kinda her thing anyway.]
no subject
[Right, he likes the sea and pirate life. What can he say, it as new and interesting!]
[Tonight he was being GOOD. He wasn't being loud or binging off the boat or anything. Stopping in port had helped a LOT with his hyper-activeness (and Leo laying in on him a few days ago calmed him down more as well). So there he was, coming out on deck so he could (gasp) train a little on his own, when he saw the pretty new member of their little crew.]
[A smile grew and he came closer, head tilted looking at her, then up to the sky she was looking at.]
It's pretty awesome out there, huh?

He went up to the deck, planning to either meditate or just hand about for a while, when he saw the blonde woman that they had just recruited. He hadn't seen her since they day they recruited her actually. Huh. Ah well, eh might as well be nice and at least attempt to talk to her
and see if she would have no problems with mutant turtlesHe walks over until he stops beside her and clears his throat to make his presence known.]

stops short when he sees the girl.]

So in the end, the answer was yes. And Xingba gathered folks on deck to hear the announcement]
All right! Listen up! Starting today, I'm gonna be captain of this crew! I don't care what you call it, if you wanna call it the same thing or change the name, doesn't bother me. But now you're servin' under Gan Xingba of the Bells!
I ain't a slave-driver, but I'm gonna whip you guys into shape. You can all fight, I'll give ya that. But this is the way of it - if I give you an order, you follow it. If I give you tasks to do, like cleaning the hold or mending the ropes or fishin' for dinner, you do it. And for the record, I don't shy away from fights. We got our asses whupped last time, but I ain't gonna let that happen again. If we get hit, we're gonna hit back. Anybody who don't like that can find another crew. Got me?
Now. What do you guys want out of your journey? Are we just gonna make life hell for the locals, or are we gonna start lookin' for the jewel that's gonna send us all home? I wanna hear from you - that's how a crew works. I might be the captain, but everybody gets a say.
no subject
But at that last bit, he can't help the laugh that bursts out of him.]
Oh man, you wanna make life hell [SLIPS IN A GROWNUP WORD OMG] for anyone and you're gonna have this guy making faces at you forever.

4/10 one last trip to town before heading out
Food for her pokemon, some decent clothes, a book or two...soap.
She had woken up obscenely early for this, pulling her hair into a bun, pinning her bangs up and favoring a cloak that she found laying around (probably Gaius', whoops) instead of her usual black coat. Her scar was hidden under a cloth tightly wrapped around her arm, and her pokemon were kept in their pokeballs strapped to her belt.
In all honestly, it was probably better and safer for her to wait for someone to accompany her. But she really didn't have the patience for it. So now here she was, making her rounds around town and looking for the supplies she needed. Luckily no one recognized her yet.]
no subject
It just feels really awkward having to do it without his usual cloak. His customized cloak where he sewed in all sorts of pockets. He's only thankful that he'd cleaned said pockets out before washing it, otherwise missing candy would just make him sadder.
Oh well, a brown mantle is a little more nondescript than a black one, although the spare is shorter than he cares for. At least this doesn't need to be a long trip. A stop by the bakery, a stop by the usual stalls at the marketplace, maybe a stop by the Backwater Brig...
Wait.
Backtrack a few steps.
Isn't that...
His cloak!]

...Which means there's a lot to do in spare time. Not that Hiccup minds; It's nice to at least know where they're heading (at least he thinks they have a good idea where) and it gives him time to prepare in case anything else happens on they way.
Sometimes the Viking can be found doing last minute checks on Toothless' saddle in preparation for their next flight, other times he's sitting on his nice reptile-skin couch sketching out things in his journal. As for that workout routine Raph keeps bothering him about? Well, it's not going along as smoothly as it should.]

At least the weather is decent, so Raph can probably be found out on deck a lot! Running through his katas, sprinting from one end of the ship to the other, or just messing around in the rigging and practicing jumping and flipping from here to there all over the place. Gotta keep in shape, man!
Otherwise, he might be taking his turn on watch. Feel free to come bug him in the crow's nest, too!]

4/11 - 4/15 Sailing, Sailing~
Baking is very practical, by the way. But he and Mikey have been handling most of the cooking in general, although if you smell something sweet coming from the galley, it's a good bet that it's something of Gaius' doing.
Other times one may find him mending something like one of the many hidden pockets in his cloak, trying his hand at fishing, checking equipment like ropes and hammocks, and most often, eating a sweet or two. You might even catch him going through a few drills with his sword.]
4/12
Cynthia would hide out in the galley whenever she needed to think. But she still does her best to make it look like she wasn't bothered by anything.]

4/3 Closed to Motochika and Mitsuhide!
He stepped in with bells ringing, looking around the tavern for anyone even remotely familiar. He sort of remembered the crazy look of the guy who had led Sun Quan to the sea dragon's shrine, he had still been with the main army at that point in the quest to take down Kiyomori. So it wasn't hard to spot Motochika at all and make his way over.]
Mitsuhide too!
I am glad you could make it. You recognised us, did you?
[Motochika greets, wearing a friendly smile. It's better to find out right away which group of samurai Gan Ning is actually familiar with.]

4/18 Party time!
They make great drinks here. Drinks that look like water, and drinks that don't taste like alcohol but will still knock you on your ass after a couple. Xingba shows no sign of drunkenness himself, though he is drinking straight-up sake and rum. The sake is clear like water and smells fragrantly of plum and citrus. He's pretty sure he can slip some to Leo if he can...]
no subject
[Being there was cool too. The place was fancy, and though they got some looks no one seemed to have a problem with them. SEE!? humans are cool! But yeah, at first he was loud, excited, bouncy. He took to enjoying the evening with the boys easily. First round was fine, second round? He was calmer. This drink he had now he as nursing. Sitting calmly with the others he was smiling still, chuckling at things and relaxed. Just no longer fidgety and loud.]
[Also, one of these drink better be green and basass]

4/20-25 Volcano diving and GEMS!
First Trip
It had taken days and days of research (and maybe some bribing and threatening) until finally everything was narrowed down to a single cave found in a rather secluded area of the core. The directions came from a crazy old prospector Cynthia met in town, and he was probably not to be trusted, but a lead was still a lead. So now here they were, in front of said cave, and getting ready to hunt down one of the biggest collections of uncharted gem caverns in the history of this island.
No pressure.]
