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!

Sometimes after finding the Tiger but before finding Marco and a lot of answers, Haruta was perched on the edge of a roof again, going through her wanted posters that she had collected. Only, there was some fool spinning water around at the fountain, so... she closed up the book and tilted her head, looking at the show.

And it was a show. Who in their right mind would TRY to bring attention to them like that? She leaned back, legs dangling over the roof and seated like a bot, watching the goof announce his greatness. "Wow..."

Haruta looked like a young boy dressed in green and white with blue shoes swaying in the air. She was far enough not to get soaked, but some of the down fall of water hit her anyhow. Not that she seemed annoyed. Lifting her hands she clapped, slowly. Not so impressed and not lining up in any line to make an offer. Still, she clapped for the show. That was interesting.

Is this guy for real?

The clapping drew his attention. The parasol was once again transformed, quickly, into a folded fan, pointed directly at the young swordswoman.

"You there, my young friend! Tell me your name!"

[haruta_xii]

She leaned on her knees, chin in one hand, looking at this guy with a brow raised. Introductions, huh? Young friend, huh? Amusing.

"They call me The Frog Prince, Haruta, Twelfth Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates." Hey, if he's going to be all show and titles, she can pull that off as well. And she actually likes her title.

"Oro? Oh ho ho!" Anji opened his fans, spinning into a pose as he addressed the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen! Did you hear that? We are in the presence of pirate royalty!"

[haruta_xii]

Haruta smirked, leaning there where she perched on the roof and watching. It amused her how there was like next to no one watching him at the moment. But letting him be all flash and show, she raised a hand to give a wave to the 'crowds' of people who weren't actually paying attention.

"Thank you! You're too kind."

[ridingtheclouds]

Indeed, not a single person there seemed to care. In fact, quite a few of them seemed actively annoyed. And at the mention of 'pirates', well... the group thinned out even more. Anji, however, didn't seem at all phased. With another flourished series of movements, he hopped up and literally seemed to float over to Haruta's perch, casting a wide grin her way.

"Well if being pirate royalty doesn't work out for you, you certainly have a look for the stage. Tell me, my new friend, are you truly part of a fleet so great that they have twelve divisions? I am seeking a group to sell my services to, of course."

[haruta_xii]

This guy was crazy. It amused her though. His talent also interested her. What was this floating thing, and all that with the water. Devil Fruit user? Maybe, but maybe not. He doesn't look like he's from her home.

Looking up at him as he dropped to the roof she was seated on, she leaned back on a hand, watchful. "My fleet is indeed huge, but it's also not here. Sadly. My brothers and sisters are all back home and I am here on my own." Well, not alone, but that is beside the point. "As for stage? I have my hand at the creative side, not the performance side."

[ridingtheclouds]

"A famous man in an age long past once said that all the world is a stage and we are all performers upon it." Anji twirled one of the fans between his fingers, kicking up a gentle breeze.

"So you are newly arrived to this realm as well? Yet I've not heard of you before this moment, and one would think a pirate fleet such as that would have made headlines where I'm from, given a single airship crew back home was able to cause quite some chaos.."
