INTRO LOG: APRIL 2014

[highseasmods]

WELCOME NEW CHARACTERS!
Have an intro log for the month of April!

Who: Any and all new characters, as well as anyone hanging out on or around Isla Empieza!
Where: Near the fountain in the town center.
When: New characters will arrive around April 9th! The log is good for as long as you need it.
What: You've just been dropped on your head in a weird new world. Time to figure out what the heck is going on!
Status: VERY OPEN.

The day begins gray and drizzly, the miserable sort of rain that just makes everything muddy and unpleasant. Just the luck of the locals of Isla Empieza that these April showers bring more outsiders instead of May flowers. As the day goes by, the rain gets heavier and the locals get surlier. Lucky for you you have that message in your journals telling you to get moving and find a crew, huh?

Feel free to throw your characters here if you need a place for them to get situated and start figuring things out! Start new threads, tag into others, meet the people who might just become part of your crew! Older characters will be in and out, too, depending who is on the island at the current time.

HAVE FUN! And welcome to High Seas!

[Hollom was going to walk away, leave her to her work and find somewhere dry to eat and sleep for the night. But she grabbed him.

A woman grabbed him. A whore grabbed him.

The reaction is swift. He turns with her pulling and lashes his hand out to smack her across the face. Not hard, not meant to injure her. Just something to make a loud sound, give a sharp pain, and make it clear he is not going to be trifled with.]

Don't touch me again.

[A group of men on a ship? That left him nowhere to go? That terrified him. They could easily overpower him. One woman? Didn't frighten him. And he wasn't keen on letting a whore drag him somewhere, potentially to a mugging or the like.]

[Smack, goes Hollom's hand across Codi's cheek. As expected, she's momentarily stunned.]

[Then she becomes very angry.]

[With a scowl, her own hand comes up for an equally swift smack--the difference being the electricity running through her palm, sent unconsciously flowing by adrenaline and general annoyance. The effect, unless Hollom ducks (even if he intercepts, he'll get a nasty shock), would be something a bit more forceful than Codi's small hands would suggest.]

[awhitecrow]

[The electric nature of the shock is so foreign that it only registers as pain to Hollom. He does, though, take a good look at the woman. He won't go looking for one, no, but if there's a bailiff or constable to be found, he'll see the whore reported.

Plying her trade? He'd have left her be. But to grab a gentleman and then to strike him? God, she was lucky he wasn't his father.

It's that thought that makes him take a step back, free from her grasp, draw himself up, turn, and walk away.]

[maskedtyrant]

[Hollom's thoughts are roughly mirrored, but in Codi's case, they're also spoken. Rather, shouted.]

You're lucky that the Welcome Committee comes first, kid! [Angry fist shake in his direction inserted here.] See if I let you on my ship...
