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!

Goodness me, and yet here you are, brandishing weapons at a poor cute little girl! [Nevermind the fact that she had a gun in her hand first.]

All I want to do is find the token.
letteropener: (excited)

And all I want to do is stop you, so we are fairly even, are we not? [Celestia sounds more amused than the situation warrants, but this is so out of her normal experience that she can't help but enjoy it. Also she is fearsome, apparently!]

Just a bit! I had no idea you were so invested in the token yourself. [because why else would she be held up like this?]
letteropener: (fond smile)

My crew wishes to win. And since they are my crew, I will support them to the best of my abilities. [Loyalty, simple as that.]

Oh, be reasonable. What would that Straw Hat even use the shard for? A backscratcher?

[Even if he were rubbery enough to scratch his own back, it's not the point!]
letteropener: (not listening)

[personal profile] letteropener 2014-08-01 12:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Without losing any of her calm, Celestia takes on a tone of mild rebuke.] We all want to get home too, you know.

Of course, of course, and what's wrong with working together to achieve that goal? After all, it's just one round, isn't it?

[Contemplatively, she takes a half-step back, ready to just leave. No, she's not interested in fighting a magical alicorn, especially one that's packing.]
letteropener: (adorable smile)

[personal profile] letteropener 2014-08-03 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[That might be a good tactical decision, and one Celestia acknowledges with a sweet smile.] Yes, although I should add, we do intend to win three rounds. So while I wish your crew luck, I don't wish them better luck than ours, I'm afraid.

Well, I can still hope your luck isn't as good as your magical capabilities! [Well, anyway.]

Regardless, I wish you luck anyway! It's no fun if our opponents are weaklings.
letteropener: (that was your cue)

[Celestia laughs brightly, tipping her head back as her mane streams out behind her. Then I can guarantee you plenty of fun!
