INTRO LOG: MAY 2014

[highseasmods]

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

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 May 10th! 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.

It's a brilliant May day, with blue skies and a soft breeze as you wake up. Everything about the otherwise grubby pirate port you are in speaks of spring. There are flowers surrounding the fountain, draping in colorful garlands over railings and balconies and tucked into all corners. There is a certain cheerfulness to it all and those in Empieza seem friendly and welcoming (to those who've been there before, they are far more pleasant than usual).

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!

"I don't need to flatter myself, everyone else does it for me," he says with a wry twist of his mouth, brows raising and chin resting on his hand has he thinks about the rest of the information he was given.

It is a lot to take in, a lot to process and well, it really could be worse. Even if talking to a dead man made him get a slightly bitter taste to his mouth. Plus the knowledge that Portgas is alive, that rankles something in his chest and he does huff and take a sip of the alcohol, just to feel the slide of it burn down his throat.

Rayleigh blinks though, laughs and rubs his mouth clean as of course that would be what Marco started on. "I think she's become even more beautiful than before."

Marco gave a wistful sigh and grin as he leaned his chin into his hand. Part of him wanted to tell Silvers that really, he'd helped Thatch, if anything, but he wasn't going to. He knew the old pirate well enough that seeing people come back from the dead just meant he'd be looking for his old captain. Even though they both knew their time was running out. It would never be enough, would it?

"The world could use more beauties that get better with age," Marco remarked half in a daydream.

Still, he wasn't there just for fun, and as much as he wanted to just sit and drink with an old friend, Marco was forever a businessman, even when the business was murder, politics, or more accurately war. And thinking too much on Robin lately reminded him a lot of that. He slowly snapped himself out of it and rubbed his temples with his thumbs. "Don't tell me how bad shit gets for us in the next two years," he frowned. "I heard some from Robin and that's..." fucking horrendous. "Bad enough. But how is the Rip-Off Bar? I still don't want Thatch and Ace finding out that Teach has Pops' devil fruit--" his eyes went flat, "And I mean that, eh." He'd definitely hurt Ray if he left it slip but... "But Shakki is from even before the tenryuubito incident with the supernova rookies. And I know Teach isn't as careful -- or HALF as smart as Pops, so those ripples were bound to cause huge backlash, eh?"
