high_seas | HazMat Log 005 ♔ The great multicolored north

[Can't blame a dragon for being a little restless, now can you? When he's not out scouting or just free-flying with Hiccup, Toothless is pretty much left to his own devices.

At the very least, he knows not to flame the deck, but don't be surprised to find him hanging upside-down by his tail from the mast to doze off once in a while, or sprawled out on the quarter deck to sun himself. Sometimes he'll be staring over the railing, probably watching fish or what-have-you swim by.

...and occasionally he'll just roam around below deck, poking his nose into everyone's business because that's how he rolls, yo.]

[This booze is best booze. Now that they're safe on an island (he presumes), Gan Ning is taking a break. A daily break. And enjoying the hallucinations. They're not scary, or at least he hopes he doesn't start seeing snake soldiers and the bloodied fields of Hefei if he has too much.

If he can be found, lolling around in bars and marketplaces around the island, he should be extremely amicable. Sedate, even.]

[Since they were only there for a week, the champion decided to focus her attention on a few very important tasks.

a.One would find her wandering the market looking for supplies and weapon hunting, yes weapon hunting. Her pokemon wouldn't always be there to protect her and in a world like this, it was better safe than sorry. Though she had to try her hardest to keep a low profile. Apparently the locals weren’t as welcoming to pirates and, though she didn’t actually look like one, she wanted to make sure she’d come out alive.

b. She didn’t know the berries were bad. Yes, she missed the memo on “those dangerous berries”. But it wasn’t her that was affected by it. Oh no, she didn’t feel like eating berries at the time she went to the south to buy wine and supplies. It was her pokemon. Yes, they had thought it was a good idea since they were used to living off their berries. Long story short, Cynthia’s by the docks, taking care of her horribly ill pokemon.

c. It seems the champion had some wine. Not a sip, a cup. Now she’s not all that sure where she is or what exactly is happening to her. But she’s currently skipping merrily towards…a random direction and apparently she’s being accompanied by her little fairy pokemon friends.

d. “Very mysterious and hard to find.” Never tell Cynthia that ruins were hard to find, unless you want her to actually go look for them. It was a hobby of hers, looking for and learning from ruins, and right at this very moment, she was sure she found the ruins. Why? Because there was a group of angry tribal natives throwing spears at her. THE ONE DAY SHE HAD TO LEAVE HER POOR ILL POKEMON ON THE SHIP. THE ONE DAMN DAY. Now she was just praying to Arceus she gets out of this one alive.]

[[5/1-5/7]Well Aelopile had been fun ~~getting drunk and his brothers almost dying via flying bicycle aside~~ but it was nice to be back out at sea. For Leo, that meant getting back on track. Back to training and attempting to keep the craziness that often broke out under control.

In other words, things are the same as usual.

[5/8-5/14] Well looks like they were in another city. Leo wasn't planning on doing much, he had all that he needed for himself. For the most part, he was just wandering around. Some people may have given him odd looks since man-sized turtle and all, but for the most part no one seemed bothered and he was used to it at this point.

So he'll just be around checking out the city, getting a few things if he sees anything that catches his eye, or seeing if there was anything important that the ship needed though. So feel free to go see what he's up to.]

[5/8-5-15]
Mikey is finding this place hard to deal with. Not because he lies, but because he doesn’t feel the need to tell someone the details. “I’m doing good!” Should be enough, but he finds himself in conversations with people who ask what he’s looking for, or what he IS, and well, that brings a story. A long story, and they seem intrigued and amused all at once. One rare occasion someone honestly says they don’t care.

Honest, because that’s all that happens around here. Honestly. Blunt truths. So, you know, if you have figured this trick of the island out, come talk to him, because he’s not going to be able to hide ANYTHING.

Other times he's hiding out near the docks, or shopping with the allowance he was given, which is little and he knows he needs food for everyone. He's responsible like that sometimes. So here, find him at the ship or shopping too.

As for drinking? You know he's gonna try this stuff. Maybe with the Captain. Maybe with a brother that wont tell him no. But he's going to try it and the image he will see will be interesting. Silly turtle.

[5/13]
Else where. Away from the stupid port city and back near the boat at dock, he was looking a bit purplish. Even for someone so green! At the moment you can find him, laying out on the dock, on his belly, head hanging over the edge and... retching over into the water.

Look, someone gave him a drink. He got some good trades. He made some fun deals. He restocked the kitchen! He used up ALL his allowance to do GOOD. Why was he paying like this dudes? Oh, it might be the berries he snuck ate from the galley. He’d got them earlier from a homebrew vendor. Didn’t even think, did he?

Baaaarf.

A-acutally... he's really damn sick...

[5/15-5/16: Leaving]
Mikey is WAY too ready to leave this place. Since the 13th he's stuck with the ship. The Alcohol was FINE to deal with. It was kind of fun and trippy, AND he has some bottles HIDDEN on the ship, for good reasons. He also has some berries hidden for... reasons.

He's no longer purple but he still feels sick, so Mikey is GLAd when they go to leave. Hanging from a rail on the ship and leaning over it dangerously far, staring at the water. Man, he can't want to leave.

A) During preparations to sail away from Dermaevern, Hiccup caught an entry in the magic journal. Sure, there were many entries to pull from, but this one in particular ~~sort of punched him in the heart~~ got him thinking about his mother.

Currently, all of his given tasks and routines are done slower than usual. Or he's just being really quiet. It may be normal, but it'll take a little more effort to get his attention.

B) May 15th: Hiccup just woke up and things have gone screwy. He just doesn't realize this yet until he sees he's taller than some of his shipmates.

He's not even sure how to react to all of this. Seriously.

[On the Ship]
[In all honesty, she probably should've taken longer to gather her thoughts. There was still so much for her to sort out about... pretty much everything. But even so, she didn't wanna keep the turtles and her new crew waiting. She had mixed feelings, really. On one hand, she was glad to have gotten off of the island. Then again, she always worried about first impressions for... obvious reasons.

And there was also the fact that these turtles... weren't the ones that knew her. How that happened, Mona Lisa had no idea. It didn't make them any less important to her, though it would take some getting used to.

For her time on the ship on the next few days, she'd be learning the ship's layout and introducing herself to her new crewmates. And hey, might as well get some sunbathing done as well. She was on a ship, after all.]

[Dermaevern]
[She wondered how well this would go.

The others seemed to have come and gone without problem, so it should be no problem for her, right? Mona was off the ship and staring at the entrance to South City. She wants to check it out, but she's not sure if she wants to deal with people staring at her.

At least, not when she's by herself.]

Arrival: 5/16

[Wan stumbled away from the Nav onto the deck of a ship much larger than he expected any boat to be. His own very limited experience with such crafts made the transition an awkward one. He wasn't used to the swaying, however slight it might have been in the eyes (and legs) of those on board. So when he finally got his balance, it was with his feet shoulder width apart and his knees bent to ground him better. A basic horse stance.

It was only after he managed to get that far that he looked around the deck to try and find some of the people Maggie had said would be there. He'd asked to be sent to a ship with a 'balanced' crew. He figured he'd have a better chance of convincing them to get him to Gun Frontier. What he didn't realize was that the 'balanced' crew was one with people that were as much animal as they were human or spirit.

And it was hard to tell at a first glance, but it looked like there might be children on board, too.]

Hello?

Adjusting to ship and crew (oh god all the children): 5/17 - 5/18

[There were definitely children on board. So many children. How did the crew deal with so many of their number being barely able to fend for themselves? Wan would ask to leave if 1. he knew how to use the Nav for that and 2. it wasn't obvious that the crew needed help with the kids.

So he did his best to keep them entertained and safe. Which, for the moment, included practicing his water and air element forms. ~~Who wants a ride a cloud?~~]

5/19-5/22

[So... I guess you guys aren't all children after all? What sort of crazy is going on here?]

[It's all calm near the Nav, and then out of nowhere pops a pair of baggage laiden individuals. Roxas is holding onto Lea's hand and in the other arm he's got a moderately sized stuffed parrot and a skateboard. Both of them have a bag on their backs.

Roxas looks around, a little confused. His eyes are a little red because he did shed a tear or two with Marco and he's a little tired now. He's never been to this ship so he doesn't really know what he's looking at or what to expect so he just squeezes Lea's hand.]

5/12-5/14

[After Roxas has arrived and everything he can be found everywhere on the ship. He's wandering around, trying to memorize where everything is. He might be found sitting on the deck, lost in thought as well.]

5/15-5/18 DEAGE EVENT

[Roxas has regressed to Day Five. His eyes are pretty vacant and he's likely following Lea around. If you do find him on his own, he's not very talkative at all. He knows a few words but he struggles. He remembers very little at this time period.]

[After Lea is sure Roxas is settled in, he can be found sticking his nose in everything. He's most used to working in the galley, so that's his first order of business. He's not a five star chef or anything, but he can be bothered to make simple meals if it's needed. He's also not letting himself get stuck in another situation where he's not 100% in the know, so he's kind of surreptitiously poking around and seeing how everything and everyone works. He may not be asking questions outright, but he's visible and (ostensibly) friendly.

Once the de-aging begins, he's probably somewhere near Roxas, keeping an eye on him until he's sure he doesn't zombie-mode himself right off the boat or something.]

[He'd woken up in a strange place, and with absolutely no idea how he'd gotten there. The moment he'd realized he was aboard a ship somewhere, his imagination just about took off. Had he been kidnapped? Sold to some slavers across the sea? Neither thought was very promising.

It was a little strange though. The doors weren't locked, and he wasn't tied up or anything. Although he didn't know what he'd be able to do if he were trapped in the middle of the ocean, he figured he should at least see what was going on. Since the sword he'd found in the room was much too big, he settled for arming himself with a knife, and after a little more searching, had added a small bag of coins to his belt. They were odd coins though, strangely light, and not at all very noisy like metal should be.

One might find the little 6-year-old sneaking around below deck or trying his best to be unnoticed on the main deck, although he might get distracted staring out at the waters around. Hopefully he won't fall off of the barrel he's standing on, in that case.

Otherwise you might find Gaius sitting behind a coil of rope, investigating the strange coins he'd found- wait, is this...chocolate???]

[SO RAPH...has no idea what is going on but he is not a fan. He woke up in a hammock that was suddenly REALLY HARD to get out of because apparently he shrunk or something, what the heck? The edges of the stupid thing are like forever away, and it takes a lot of awkward scooting, crawling, and legs falling through the holes and getting stuck before he finally manages to tumble out of it and land smack on the floor on his stomach.

The floor which is...really very close once he stands up, and everything seems BIGGER suddenly, and yeah, okay, so he's not the tallest turtle around but he's not usually THIS small.

With a massive scowl, he crosses his arms right where he is and just shouts out to get anyone's attention:]

HEY! GUYS! WHAT THE HECK IS—

[........Whoa.

alkjsfdhlsjk that's not him talking. That's not -- is that his voice?! What.

What.

HOW.]

...Aw man.

[Something...very strange is going on. The world seems to have expanded while he was asleep! Clearly this calls for investigation, which is why Hiccup won't find Toothless in his customary sleeping spot.

Hopefully no one will trod on the little dragon accidentally as he makes his way around. This fact is something he realizes soon enough- it's not the world that's blown up but him that's shrunk! At least he's not terribly hindered by the steps up- it seems that while he may be small in size, his tail is in working order once again!

So don't be surprised if you see something black go darting past you. He's going to fly his little heart out while he can.]

5/1 - 5/7

Dermaevern, any day

5/8 - 5/15 exploring!
