THE GAME PLAN no I totally did not copy this format from the Katabami, what
x 7/5 - 7-12: Port Chance, race start ➝ Heartless Island (token won!)
x 7-13 - 7/19: Heartless Island ➝ up to the clouds as we head to Great Celestial Beautiful Soldiers Fighting Force Go Island (token lost)
x 7/20 - 7/26: Great Celestial Beautiful Soldiers Fighting Force Go Island ➝ Humildad (token status unknown)
x 7/27 - 7/31: Humildad ➝ Port Chance, race end

Other race details, including information on the NPC pirate crew and where the tokens are hidden on each island, can be found here.

We're probably going to focus on Great Celestial Beautiful Soldiers Fighting Force Go Island because REASONS, but feel free to start threads for other islands at any time. We also still might try our hand at going after the Corpse King, too. And if there are any weather shenanigans / crazy weekly phenomena that we want to play with, go ahead and toss up a starter for them as they come up! Just be sure to date and label your threads so we know what's what!

AND EVERYONE HAD BETTER WEAR A BLOODY BADGE. They're totally useful now since they're enhanced with Shield Charms! 8|b

[watches him back and strokes the mustache]

Hello, kid. [stroke stroke. Look at the strands of brown as they shimmer in the light. Also his hair is fantastic. You've never seen a pompadour so pert, he's sure of it. In either case, there is a mission at hand]

Would you like to buy a watch?

[forthevillage]

[There are very few people would will give less of a damn about that fresh style, unfortunately.

The clone blinks at the question, as it isn't at all what he expected. That won't distract him enough from the current task, though.]

Thank you, but I would not.

I'm sure there are better venues for peddling.

[thatched]

Are there indeed? [reaches into his tunic and pulls out... a notepad and a feather pen] Well, young master, I am all ears...

... Oh wait, hold on.

[he takes off the mustache and twists to the side to sneeze violently, then sticks it back on and gives the youth an inquisitive look]

[forthevillage]

I did not say I knew of any. Still, you are likely to have more of a chance on any of the islands than on here.

[He slips off the rail, standing and watching the man carefully.]

In any case, I don't believe that's why you're actually here, and I would like to ask you to leave.

[thatched]

Well no reason to hold back. You can go ahead and ask. [he puts the notebook away and takes out a cigar] Want one?

[thethundersaid]

[He knows intellectually that Itachi is perfectly able to hold his own against most opponents of any size, but that doesn't mean it sits well with Sasuke to see his brother standing around facing off against someone several heads taller.

It also doesn't sit well that there are this many people who aren't crew on board, even if none of them have proved initially violent.

Sasuke flickers to hang off the closest mast by the stranger, glaring upside-down at the side of the man's head, arms folded and feet planted firmly on the underside of the spar.]

No, he doesn't.

[forthevillage]

... I do not.

[Itachi confirms his brother's response, the clone glancing up at the other's appearance.]

Then I will ask you to leave. I would prefer to avoid violence.

[thatched]

[he takes the time to light the cigar and puffs out a ring of smoke]

That'd be hard. Can't do much on the swimming angle, mates. [glances between the two] Brothers right?

[thethundersaid]

[Can't do much on the swimming angle? Sasuke's eyes narrow -- he has no frame of reference for the people that Zoro guy mentioned, but he knows that this is one of the symptoms. It just remains to be seen whether he means it literally or not.]

What's it matter if we are? You should be worrying about being on the wrong ship.

[forthevillage]

You brought your own boat, then. Part of the group currently trying to infiltrate us.

[It hardly needs saying now. He won't worry about being on the wrong ship because that was his intention from the start.]

I would like to avoid further fighting, if possible.

[Though he's sure such comments aren't going to get him anywhere here either.]

[thatched]

You and me both, lad. Violence is the least of my priorities right now. [sucks on the cigar]

Wrong ship? Infiltrators? You don't say. You'd better keep a sharp eye out, boys. They might be scurrilously cleaning your decks.

[thethundersaid]

[Scurrilously cleaning their decks ... yeah, on the day another crew boards them in order to complete tedious cleaning tasks, Sasuke will gladly stand out of the way.]

I don't see anyone cleaning anything. If that's your purpose here, shouldn't you be scrubbing now?

[forthevillage]

[Itachi wouldn't trust any group that came aboard saying they just intended to clean, nor does he have any interest in seeing this man do it. Sasuke is the captain, though, and he falls silent for the moment so that his brother can take charge.]
