8th June + onwards - OTA

[myfayevalentine]

Evening - The Bars

*Every evening, Faye can be found in the various bars, or later on in the evenings in the clubs. She wears a different dress each evening, all rather flattering to her body shape in one way or another. She couldn't wear heels as high as she'd like, given her recent ankle injury. If she isn't standing or sitting somewhere with a drink in her hand, she'd be lingering by the bar waiting for someone to offer to buy her one*

Day Time

*During the day, Faye is out shopping - day clothes, lounge wear, night wear, evening dresses, lingerie, make up. This island seems like the chance to catch up on these things. In late afternoon she'll be carrying quite a number of bags, also seemingly searching for something. She wonders if there's a nice spa or bath house somewhere to relax in*

Re: 8th June + onwards - OTA

[so, on the second night Thash got bored and decided to see what Faye was up to. He figured she was probably in the crater somewhere...although he didn't care to go in there by himself he decided to make a challenge out of seeing if he could find her. Cuz that's not stalker-ish at all. He'd hunt around a bit around the buildings, trying to keep away from crowds as much as possible. He got some odd looks now and then...he wondered what that was about, but avoided talking to people]

[eventually he'd catch her scent around a store, perhaps her last one for the evening since it was getting to be night time? Either way he hesitantly went in and looked around to see if she was in there]

((Ooc: you pick what kind of store it is X3 he didn't really check, just thinking 'hey I found her' lol))

[myfayevalentine]

*This was a particularly pricey place - she had a lot of money from Gun Frontier. The clothing was all excellent quality, beautiful dresses, mostly evening gowns, and pretty silk nightwear too. Faye had selected a new red dress, and a matching night dress, and was in the process of taking these to the counter to pay when she turned and spotted Thash. Her hands were too full to wave, but she smiled brightly*

Hey, mister.

[crankyshark]

[he spotted her around the same time she spotted him, glad his senses had been right and she was here. When he saw her big smile he couldn't help smiling too] hey, how's it going?

[myfayevalentine]

Good, thanks. You?

*Faye juggled her various bags so that she could get her purse and pay the woman at the counter. She waited until her clothing was wrapped and put in a bag, then turned back to Thash as she made her way out of the store*

Had a busy day?

[crankyshark]

Things are going ok...

[he watched while she juggled stuff to pay the lady. Then he walked out beside her]

Sort of I guess. I trained a bit and started on a couple of new weapons for the heck of it...uh, do you want some help carrying all that?

June 8th and on...

[crankyshark]

Most days-

Thash will go off and train and/or work on weapons on the shore. Not right in front of the ship, but a few hundred yards to the side. Gotta keep those muscles strong! If you want to train with him or just go bug him/say hi then go for it :3

The first evening-

The first evening he's going to go and explore the perimeter of the island. Call it a weird habit but he likes to know the layout of places he's staying. He's going to mostly avoid the inside of the crater though... Too many crowds and too much noise. Not that he couldn't be convinced to go if someone asked to go there with him, but he'll be staying away from all that while he's alone. Feel free to run into him if your character also likes wandering around strange islands at night.

Other evenings- open! He's got nothing planned and will probably be a boring loner on the ship or in the surrounding water when he's not out with Faye so if your character wants a crew mate to go somewhere with them in the evenings feel free to drag him along. He may not be the best company but he makes a good bodyguard at least <<;;

June 11th...first post is open to crew, but subsequent will be closed to Faye and Thash

[crankyshark]

[So on one of the following evening after they've been there a few days, Thash actually makes some plans for himself and a certain other crew member. During the morning. He can be seen going to and from the town in the crater in the morning, then disappearing in the sea for a while. Later on he goes back to the crater, carrying a few things in a thick net over his shoulder. Around noon, he'd bring something large metal objects over to the eastern shore about a thousand yards from the ship, and then bring something small in a bag to his room in the ship. Finally, in the early afternoon, Faye will hear a knock at her door]

[myfayevalentine]

*Sitting on a chair, Faye was using her makeshift dressing table to prepare for the afternoon. She didn't dress up too much, and went for a casual look with a denim mini skirt and a pastel pink camisole top. Thash seemed to prefer when things were kept casual anyway. She was just finishing dabbing on some perfume on her neck when she heard the knock at the door. Instead of just calling for him to come in, Faye went to the door and opened it herself*

Hey.

[crankyshark]

Hi Faye [he greeted her with a rather bright smile] so, I know if didn't tell you much yesterday, but... You wanna go on a date with me tonight? [he asked with surprising boldness, apparently not wanting there to be any confusion about wether they were on a date or not]

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye could have laughed at this display - not at him, but just how optimistic he seemed about it. She leaned in her doorway and raised her eyes to the ceiling as though thinking about it*

Hmm... Uhm, let's see... Did I have anything else I was going to do tonight?

*She put a finger to her lips as she pretended to mull this over out loud, then finally looked back at Thash*

Nope. I'm free. So yes, I'd like that.

[crankyshark]

[his head tilted a little as she pretended to think about it, thinking she was probably messing with him. When she finally agreed to it, his smile returned] heh, alright. Then can you meet me on the beach in about 30 minutes? Just walk to the east... Oh, and bring something to swim in. [okay, so apparently he had something a little unorthodox in mind, but by his time he seemed confident she'd like whatever it was he had planned] don't worry the water will be clean...and well stop back here before we head into town.

[although he started to have a bit of a second thought about how much this was a surprise to her...if he'd known she'd get all dressed up ahead of time he might've mentioned there would be water involved]

Jun 8 and days that follow

[sinister_blade]

Day:

During the day, Katarina is prowling the streets like a cat. She's either:
1- arguing about quality of iron/steel,
2- getting into fistfights because she called seller a liar/cheater/scumbag for trying to sell her bad goods,
3- using money to have decent baths and good food,
4- practicing by moving in shadows, climbing ledges and target practicing. Take a pick

Night:

During the night, she walks the streets suspiciously or watches parties/drinking from afar. She's not... dressed for party or anything, she was never seen wearing anything else but her combat outfit. People hitting on her and don't get a hint to let her be, usually leave with smashed toes. Not that she's opposed to that, she just doesn't deal with drunkards... unless she's drunk as well. Small chances for that, but still there.

[redcinemareel]

[There is suddenly a glass dangling in front of her face by a gloved hand, gently swirling some ice cubes in it. It looks like rum!]

Thirtsty~? All that stomping around has surely given you a bit of a thirst?

[sinister_blade]

[Katarina was snapped from her thoughts. She stares at the glass for a second before accepting it.]

Captain. [She nods in greeting.] I tried to relax but it seems it's not possible for me. [She takes a sip of her drink and then gives it an odd look. Sweet. She could actually like this type.]

[redcinemareel]

Maybe you shouldn't try so hard. [Grell smiles, holding a glass similar to Katarina's.] What do you usually do to relax?

[sinister_blade]

[Maybe. Katarina needs some time to remember what she does for relaxing. The fact remains that she can't.]

Kill. That's what I've been doing last few years. [Since she's summoned on to the Institute and Rift on daily basis.]

[hoodwinking]

A. (Day - June 8th ► On)

[B.B. Hood has, on consequent days, been busy. Early on, she's spending time seeking out weapon shops, scoping out some new gear. Taking some time to pick up some gunpowder and grenades, as well as picking up a pair of pistols and more ammunition for her uzis. She's also taking the moment to pick up some wine bottles, for both the crew and for herself to use for her flamethrowers later.

She can also be found at a range, trying out her new toys and getting a little practice in on a few of thee days.]

B. (Day - June 12th)

[...of course, on one day, she decided to shop for clothes! Something in the way of a nice cute dress, something else to wear on occasion! And so, she decided to stop in a shop and look at their wares. She had her eyes on a cute, surprisingly reasonably priced dress. A little too reasonably priced. And so, if you look for her, you can see her trying to negotiate the price. With her guns drawn.]

Come on, spill it. Why's the price so low? You're not trying to unload cheaply made garbage on me, are you?

[redcinemareel]

[Grell, who happened to be in the same store, was looking at a pair of earrings when she hears the commotion from Bonnie. She takes the earrings she was looking at and goes over to her.]

Hmm? [Grell looks at the garment in question with lazy scrutiny.] It's too thin.

[And then she starts to browse other dresses.]

[hoodwinking]

[Good thing she has a captain with a great eye! It won't stop Bonnie from cramming the dress down the poor shopkeep's throat, though.

Once she's done with that, he dusts herself off, beaming.]

Well! I've secured us a discount. There has to be something here that's not junk. [As she begins to look over the blouses. Pink, pink, where's the pink...]

[redcinemareel]

Ah~? A discount? How wonderful!

[Grell takes up a dress in green before putting it back. She didn't want to look like a Christmas elf.]

Do you have something in mind in your search?

A

[crankyshark]

[eventually Thash decided to venture inside the crater once during the day. Maybe he'd try to find some delicious food or something, he thought. But h hadn't gone far before he started hearing gunshots. Thinking it was a fight, he went to go check it out]

[turns out it was just the firing range, with a few people putting down targets with various firearms. He recognized one though...the kid with a red hood. He knew she stayed in the ship but wondered if she was actually a pirate. She reminded him of a little blonde girl he'd seen on a pirate ship once, but she hadn't been there by her own will- she'd been stolen from her family]

[having been too distracted to see B.B.s performance against the sea monster the other day, he wondered if the kid was really a part of the crew and decided to talk to her. He approached her from the side, watching her knock down some targets]

Wow, you're a good shot.

[he remarked. There were no guns in his world so strangely, the fact that she was a kid with guns didn't strike him as unusual. Kids could practice with weapons right?]

[hoodwinking]

[Firing down a few more targets with her pistol, she takes a moment to reload, looking up and seeing Thash speaking to her. With a nod, having finished, she fires another round.]

Thanks. [She hits most of her targets, only missing a few. With a small "tch" sound, she lowers her gun.]

I still need a little more practice with this one... I haven't been to a range like this in ages!

[crankyshark]

[he looked down at her when she was finished]

So this is a 'range'? Guns don't exist in my world...but I guess this is kinda similar to where people practice with bows. Anyway...

[he wasn't quite sure how to start a conversation with her, or even if the thing he wanted to ask her would be rude]

This might be a weird question but...you're a crew member and a pirate right? You weren't like...kidnapped or something?

[hoodwinking]

That's pretty much what it is, yeah. Nothing wrong with target practice.

[Regardless, she places the pistol down and picks up one of her semi-automatic machine guns, loading it with a magazine.]

Nope! I joined this crew of my own free will.
