5/1

[letteropener]

[None of this lingering back on the ship or gently dipping into the island. THIS time, Celestia's getting into the swing of things and making herself part and parcel of this adventure.]

[Which means within an hour of their landing, the princess pony strides out of a clothing shop with a hat tugged low over her eyes and a long tan duster trailing around her rear fetlocks. On her, it's a strangely good look, and it lends an aura of danger to the serene alicorn.]

[allendsmeat]

[is wandering by with his usual backpack full of pirate bento when he spots her]

Woooo You look so cool! [eyes shining!]

[letteropener]

[Smiling at him, she cocks her hat back with a flick of magic.] I do like the look. Not very piratelike, though, is it?

[seakingbait]

[Oh hello there, Celestia. You look like you're having fun. Have an awkward mermaid bumping into you as she looks to complete her own outfit. It's surprisingly difficult to find good dusters when you don't have legs. She scrambles for a moment, before collecting herself. She still can't bring herself to look her in the eyes.]

S-sorry, Celestia-chin.

...You look really nice like that.

[letteropener]

[Celestia bows her head, eyes shut. She wants to apologize yet again, reflexively, but... it won't help. Fifty apologies are no better than one.]

Thank you, Keimi. I am trying to relax a little more on this island, and I thought getting into the local culture would help. It reminds me of Appleloosa, back home, except with more weapons, so it also is a bit nostalgic.

For the duration, OTA

[yourotherleft]

[As long as they're in one of the "normal" towns and there's no random law changes to surprise him, Zoro is content to occupy a seat in a tavern pretty much daily. The bourbon is indeed excellent, and while he doesn't have a lot of money to spend, he still somehow ends up with drink every time. Don't ask.

Beneath his shirt he's still bandaged from shoulders to waist, making him a potential target to anyone wanting a fight who might think him weak. It might be wise to get him into clothes that blend in before he gets into any brawls, opens stitches, or gets himself and the crew kicked out of town for being a nuisance.]

5/3 why not

[letteropener]

[Celestia bangs open the swinging doors of the saloon Zoro's taken up residence in, pacing over to him deliberately. For some reason, no one seems willing to mess with the pony in her duster and hat, possibly because they have no idea what to make of her.]

[She leans in, dropping her voice low.] Law change, Zoro. Swords have been declared a 'sissy weapon' and a bounty's gone out on swordsmen!

:3

[yourotherleft]

[he glances up at her entrance, since it is so...noticeable. But hey, it's just Celestia, his crewmate, and he's cool.

But...wait, what?]

Are you kidding?

5/4

[allendsmeat]

[pushes open the swinging doors. Pushing up his hat and looking around. The tavern goes silent as everyone looks at him and the room goes still. He makes his way up to the bar and looks at the guy sitting beside Zoro until he moves and then steals his seat]

Oi, old man [he says to the bartender, who is, in fact, a woman with faint shades of Dadan. She twitches but seems apprehensive anyway as she comes closer]

Give me your best milk and meat.

[/ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!/ the bar roars in unison]

Assford

[allendsmeat]

[Full of donkeys, mules and assholes (along with the occasional alpaca) this rough and tumble town is perfect for those wishing to blow off steam. Wanted posters are also butts for some reason]

Dead Man's Hill

[allendsmeat]

[this town is almost entirely made up of a brick prison and an execution yard with a tall hill beside it, dotted with cracked headstones. Some say that it's haunted, but nevertheless it's the place where all rule breakers who weren't killed first take their final walk]

Little Vezzno

[allendsmeat]

[a town on a desert plateau with a lake in the center, this is where you'll find saloons, gambling halls, bordellos and dancing girls. The biggest oddity is that the buildings on the right side of the lake are red, those on the left side are green. Take care to not wear red on the green side or vice versa, or be seen crossing over. The buildings belong to rival factions who are embroiled in a centuries old fued over something long forgotten, though it may have something to do with the statue of the couple on a small island in the middle of the lake. Be careful or from ancient grudge may break new mutiny.]

5/6, OTA

[yourotherleft]

[totally strolls into the red side of town with nothing covering his hair. Not a single fuck is given this day.]

Honest Marmaduke's Funland, Dinoracing, Pool and Spa

[allendsmeat]

[a lizard ranch by the sea, this town features rideable lizards that you can pace around a variety of courses, catching rings and tokens for prizes. There is also tyranosaur wrestling and to the west, a spa complete with massages, manicures, pedicures and a pool with unique water slides]

OTA

[bepobear]

[Seriously, someone come play with the polar bear? He's got a little stack of prizes from the lizard ranch, has eyed the Rex Wrestling and completely ignored it to go to the spa. Actually, to the pool.]

[IN long legged orange and black board shorts! So cute. His wide butt fit well though and he was taking every chance he could to squeeze through a tube slide and shoot out the other side, skidding to a stop and dropping like a rock. Coming back up and shooting water from his mouth. AHHHH Thumbs Up! Woo!]

Re: Honest Marmaduke's Funland, Dinoracing, Pool and Spa

[letteropener]

I have no idea how I got baited into this...

[So says Celestia as she looks down at the tyrannosaurus pinned beneath her front hooves on the ground. With a little help from her magic, of course.]

5/5 BIRTHDAY PARTY!

[allendsmeat]

[Ride the dinosaurs! Eat the dinosaurs! Wrestle t-rexes! Go for a swim! Or get a relaxing massage! And eat til you explode! Drink til you die! Live without regrets because this is the party for the man who is going to be King of the Pirates!]

Carter's Roads

[allendsmeat]

[Smack dab in the center of Gun Frontier, this is the fashion hub of the whole island. The place to see and be seen and also buy fabrics from all over the world, even some exclusive Gun Frontier fabrics that can't be found anywhere else]

[seakingbait]

[Did someone say "rare fabrics from all over the world"? Because it sounded like you said "rare fabrics from all over the world". Keimi happily darts between stands, cooing at all the unusual materials. Her small pink cowboy can barely stay on her head with how quickly she's moving. It was everything she could ask for: silks, wools, cottons, as well as hides of land and sea animals, many of which she had never even heard of.

Did you know we have way too much treasure on our ship? We really should get rid of it to make room for all this fabric.]

The Groves

[allendsmeat]

[A peaceful little oasis town, the main feature of this place are the aforementioned groves, filled with a variety of fruit trees as well as a bird sanctuary. It is a town that enjoys its quiet gentle nature. The penalties of breaking this calm are quite severe]

OTA

[bepobear]

[Bird Sanctuary? That had got his attention. Someone from the spa had mentioned a new bird breed being birthed today, or something. He clearly was curious and after a day or so managed to find it. There were signs here and there, stay off the grass style, but to be peaceful and calm.]

[Well, he didn't have any problem with that. So, here was Bepo, being as polite as he can be, walking through this peaceful little area and trying to spot pretty birds. Come, make him be loud. I dare ya.]

Catchall

[letthestormrageon]

[Any day before arriving to the island]

[Since she discovered that she can give life, even if temporarily, to snow golems, Elsa has been practicing with it. She wants to see how much she can do, how long those golems can live on and how complex their orders or goals can be. Because of that, during their sailing, the ship is going to be invaded at different times with snowmen of all sizes running around to take something and place it somewhere else, to do some little chore or just go around asking for warm hugs or if anyone needs help.]

[5/1 - Onwards]

[Much like Celestia, Elsa has decided that she's not going to just sit around and wait for something to happen. She won't be getting in trouble, but she will be exploring the island. She's even willing to submerge herself a bit in the local culture, so after seeing the clothes of the inhabitants she changes her ice dress to cowboy clothes, combined with an ice-made cowboy hat.

She will be running around the island as often as she can, riding a horse's ice sculpture what she has created with the goal of taking her everywhere. Hopefully, there won't be laws against riding ice sculptures. And whenever she meets with someone in the crew, Elsa will stop and smile widely before asking quite happily.]

Want to come for a ride?

on the island

[yourotherleft]

[No matter where he comes from or what he's seen in their travels, there are still things that take Zoro by surprise. A giant walking ice-horse, for example.]

Uh. No thanks, I like my butt warm.

[he's impressed, though, checking out that skill.]

5/whenever

[thetruehistorian]

Of course!

[Robin reaches a hand out to pat the ice horse's nose and it snorts at her, making her giggle. She's wearing a scandalously short fringed dress with a red utility belt and- for whatever reason- has decided to quite obviously carry a sword. Her hair is tied into double pony-tails and she wears a black hat pushed low over her eyes.]

It seems your talent is improving, no?

5/whenever

[seakingbait]

That sounds great! It'll be much faster than a bubble.

[She smiles, Elsa's skills have been improving quickly over the last couple months. It's good to see she's enjoying her power.]
