Also info on the island:

♦ ISLA DE QUARZO ROSA

[Direction from Isla Empieza]: Somewhere in the South.

[Terrain]: Clouds and rose quartz gemstones. Wild twisted thorn jungles and cities built out of crystal pillars.

[Weather]: Crystal clear. It’s always warm and bright, thanks to the sunlight reflecting off the stones. It’s best to wear a pair of tinted sunglasses the entire time you are here. Light storms hover over the jungles once in a while but otherwise the island floats high enough that it’s almost always perfect weather.

[Is the island inhabited?]: Yes!

[If so, what is the culture like here?]: The people of the island are very short, the tallest standing around four foot tall, rounded faces, feet flat and duck like, body rounded but human. They are all slightly pink tinted in hair, like everything else around this place. The people here have learned to carve out huge villages in the centers of rose courts crystal pillars. They hunt for food, mostly birds, in the twisting thorn forest.

[Island peculiarities]: The jungles are light brown, pink to green and roll round and round in thick loops, twisting around each other. When tapped the sap inside the twisted tree like roots and thorny vines are sweet and almost intoxicating if you’re not raised on the stuff. Traders will sometimes come and collect sap for sale on the seas.

The island is made up purely of crystal stone, rose colored, jutting out here and there. There is a large deep patch of earth in the far northern side of the island that grows a forest, but nothing else will actually grow there. No crops are made here. This jungle however is FULL of birds. The larger crystal pillars can be hollowed out to build homes in.

The clouds under the city keep it hidden from the seas below, but the vines in the north have gotten so large and so wild that through the clouds thick spiny arms seem to grow and twist under the island as well.

The only food here is some form of bird or another, or strips of baked vines from the forest.

Full jars of sap tapped from the trees of this place fetch a nice price on the "below seas".


Have at, guys!

So you thought it would be okay to just steal all of my own hard work instead?

*Faye frowns and gestures to the jungle floor. Her hard work totalled up to as much as throwing crums around*

It seems elegant, don't you think? It stops you from collecting the token, and makes it easier for my crew. You might say it's two birds with one stone.

Elegant? I call it lazy and rude, to be perfectly honest. Your crew are nice enough and everything, but I have my own crew to collect the token for, thank you very much.
letteropener: (fond smile)

[Lazy AND rude? This is the first time anyone has ever described her like that.... ever! Maybe she is becoming a good pirate after all!]

Well, yes, but you see, if your crew collects the token, mine doesn't.
myfayevalentine: (Eh?)

*Faye just stares at the unicorn thing for a moment. She's considering adding stupid to the list of things she has called her*

Really. I hadn't thought of it that way. How silly of me.

*She continues to offer a very deadpan stare, her voice dripping with sarcasm*
letteropener: (a smiling wave of hair)

[personal profile] letteropener 2014-07-23 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well! I'm glad to have enlightened you, then!

[Now Celestia is just being willfully obtuse, though her brilliant smile has more than a bit of sly teasing behind it.]
myfayevalentine: (Lazy/Don't Care)

[personal profile] myfayevalentine 2014-07-23 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Quite. And now I'm also enlightened as to how lucky your crew are...

*With a similar smile of her own given right back at her*
letteropener: (that is how it is)

[personal profile] letteropener 2014-07-24 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I think 'luck' is one of their primary virtues. But augmented with a good deal of skill as well. It takes both to succeed. [She'll just be over here answering everything at face value...]
myfayevalentine: (Lazy/Don't Care)

[personal profile] myfayevalentine 2014-07-25 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's great. So if your crew have all the luck and skill, then maybe I just shouldn't bother. No sense in me hanging around for nothing...

*Which also means she's going to give up on chucking bits of vines around. It wasn't like it seemed to work anyway*
letteropener: (grin)

[personal profile] letteropener 2014-07-26 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
If you give up completely, that would make our job that much easier. But wouldn't you be letting your crew down?
myfayevalentine: (Lazy/Don't Care)

[personal profile] myfayevalentine 2014-07-27 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
My crew? Judging by how you stole away my plan... I had assumed that you didn't care much about my crew. I'll deal with them.

*Faye waves a dismissive hand, knowing very well that there were other members of her crew that were no doubt trying much harder and more successfully than she was*
