Bloody Roses Rescue Their Captain. Good One, Grell.

Who: Bloody Roses
Where: Darkcloud Island - that's in the sky, you guys.
When: Whenever Grell demands them there, to whenever she demands them not there. (This could be discussed but Plurk is down. Loser.)
What: Collecting their captain, who is not dead, she's just on a cloud.
Warnings: Bloody Roses (swearings, violences, unicorn whips)
Status: Bloody Roses only

Jump in, Make threads, Date threads, Stuff happens.

[If so, what is the culture like here?]: The legend goes that King Ukir of Darkcloud Kingdom is a very, very old man who decided he didn’t want to live on the ocean one day. He lived in a very large city wide tower that housed many of his loyal subjects and at the top of it was one very large ‘sun stone’ a yellow gem that helped the kingdom thrive. Making a deal with a mysterious man, King Ukir was granted a long life and a levitating island. The clouds around the earth hide it from the sea below and help hold it in the sky. The clouds are fluffy but dense, able to walk on them the darker they are. The father out you walk, the more of a chance you have to fall off.

[Island peculiarities]: There are several huge tunnels in the island, where propellers can be lowered and pushed out, spinning to propel the island in case of need to move it, though they are rarely used. Emergency reasons only.

The clouds are huge and from below they look like an enormous storm cloud. The piece of land is supported by the clouds, floating in them. You can park a boat in the darker clouds, but lighter ones are more apt to sink a ship, very slowly. Walking the clouds feels springy and light, but the whiter the cloud the less safe it is.

It’s rare that anyone comes here, so when a ship does make it up here it’s almost a bit celebration. The people of the city tend to like good people who come with fun things to trade. It’s too hard for them to get anything from below so come with some fine goods! the people of the Darkcloud Kingdom are very fine seamstresses and tailors. Light flowing silkish clothing and wide footed cloud shoes that work very well in most clouds and even help some fast people run on water.

There is a large purple glowing tree hanging off one cliff. This tree is huge, branches stretching out and trunk wide. Its roots wrap around the cliff and through it. the fruit from this tree is what the locals call Cloud Fruits and eating a ripe fruit will leave the person happy and light feelings (which also makes it easier to walk on the clouds in further regions). An unripened cloud fruit is very hard and will weigh a person down, not only in weight but in bad thoughts.

"Of course not! Ghosts are tricky however, you can never be too sure!" It's hard to tell if she's being serious about that or not, but with a twirl, she nods.

"Of course! We're not going to cause aaaaaaaaaanymore damage to the ship. It's all okay!"

[Grell listened to his speech, a bit surprised that he's resorting to such means considering how they started out when he first joined, but it was clear that she was listening intently. There were moments where she wanted to interrupt, but held back to the very end.

That was when she started laughing. ]

I can tell this has been simmering inside you for quite some time~! [She gives a sigh, smiling to him in a way that was more of a smirk than anything else.] If they're intent on targeting just me as you believe they are, then why didn't they just ask for me to be handed over to them, hmm~? No, instead they simply targeted my quarters, and our vessel.

[She crossed her arms casually, tilting her head to the side.]

At this point, I doubt simply talking to them will do much of anything! All they will request of me is to reign me in, and I don't change my colors for just anyone. This crew has an alliance with the Spade Pirates, and they are the only ones who I will negotiate with.

Also, as captain, it is NOT my sole decision to talk about a peace treaty or some other sort of rubbish. It has to be made as a crew, so luck to you on getting the rest of us to agree to that.

[She took a moment to let that sink in before continuing.]

For now, I will take no action either way. If we run into them again, and they are being aggressive towards us, then we will retaliate ten fold, since I think they would be beyond talking.

Any objections?

[he raised an eyebrow, actually pleasantly surprised by her reply. For one thing she was implying she'd actually care about the crews opinion if they did want to avoid a war...that was something. Also, she seemed content to leave things alone for now rather than go charging after the other crew immediately. He found that quite reasonable, actually]

Yeah, well...when they fired on us they were under the impression the whole crew likes running around killing innocent people. I told them differently. Still though, you've got a point...and if they attack us as a whole again then it'll be clear they don't want peace.

...but no, no objections. [he actually smirked a little back] hope they're reasonable. Cuz if they're not and they hurt somebody I'll be right there with you retaliating.

[a day or two after they arrived Thash would be out and about on the island doing various things. He'd brought some of the weapons he'd made to see if he could sell or trade them, had some things to go buy, wanted to try the local food, and was also interested in exploring this island a bit. It's not every day you get the opportunity to walk on clouds! ...And he'd not exactly known for his caution so hopefully he won't get stuck sinking in one.]

[run across him somewhere and hang out! He won't bite...hopefully]

After the ship docks on the floating island Dave wanders the beach like a lost puppy, calling Grell's name.

"Grell. Grell."

It's pathetic. He's trying to sound casual, but he's desperate and it shows. He can't wait to see her. When he finally spots Grell he breaks into a smile and waves.

"Hey!"

[GRINS SHARPLY]

That's the spirit! We should just enjoy my triumphant return!
redcinemareel: (Grell: YAY)

[personal profile] redcinemareel 2014-08-10 12:05 pm (UTC)(link)
She hears her name being called, by a familiar and wanted voice. As she turns, she can spot Dave waving her way. Grell then breaks into her own smile before walking briskly over to him, closing her small notebook.

"Dave!" She thought she wouldn't ever see him again!

Sorry for the waitz >w<

[Katarina has been walking through the bazaar herself, looking at stuff. There wasn't anything that caught her eye at the moment- silk dresses, fancy underwear, jewelry, hair pins, nice shoes- that is not Katarina's alley. And when she's forced to wear such stuff, she wears black dresses, no shinies.

This island was rather boring compared to the previous one. Or maybe that's because it was festival on it and everyone was drunk and dangerous. Sighing, Katarina moves from yet another stand, rubbing back of her head.]
sinister_blade: (high command)

Gurrrl tiemz~

[She didn't expect Faye to show up all of a sudden. Katarina figured she'd be busy doing all the stuff... that Katarina doesn't do. Basically. With a glance at the bags, she comes to conclusion that she HAD be doing that, and still has time to spare. Admirable.]

Not really. This... stuff is not really my type of thing.
sinister_blade: (Don't underestimate me)

[personal profile] sinister_blade 2014-08-10 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[That had Katarina raising her eyebrows in surprise. She was rarely proven wrong in the past so this is interesting development.]

Oh? That is fun to hear. What happened?
sinister_blade: (Elegant stare/maybe challenge?)

[personal profile] sinister_blade 2014-08-10 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[It was good that the story had second part because Katarina didn't think that having cake was overly romantic. The other part, however, sounds as if the guy put some thought in it. And Faye should be happy that Kat didn't trail her on that date.]

That sounds quite nice. However, do you have any proof for it? You do know I have trust issues. [This was both joke and Kat being serious. She does have trust issues.]
sinister_blade: (pathetic)

[personal profile] sinister_blade 2014-08-10 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
A glow stone? [She'd like to see it not because it's a proof but... glow stone! How often people come across those!? ...They are rare in Runterra, that's for sure.

Katarina crosses her hands-]

I wasn't thinking you specifically. I was talking more in general but it doesn't matter since it's not related to bet. But yes, I didn't think people are as romantic as they seemed to be in the past.
sinister_blade: (over here)

[personal profile] sinister_blade 2014-08-10 05:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, when we go back to the ship, I'll take a look. I don't see glow stones often, and those that I see have magical properties imbued into them, so it's not really natural.

[Katarina can relate to beer and lousy meal. She sighs-] Alright. You won this one. Just so you know, I don't lose bets so often. [She throws her hands in the air-] You get to boss me for one day- a deal's a deal.
crankyshark: aprofile of Thash, slight frown (profile)

[personal profile] crankyshark 2014-08-10 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh...yeah, I guess so. Speaking of things to celebrate, we might've lost the race but we did pick up a bit of treasure along the way. I think Bonnie had to spend some of it on having the ship professionally repaired, but there's probably a little left.

Guess I'll get out of your hair since I'm sure soon the one who missed you most will be coming out to see you...

[talking about Dave, specifically. Thash put his hands back in his pockets and turned to head back towards the ship]

...welcome back, by the way.

[Ugh... picking a dress that is not black? Katarina is basically color blind. Plus, she doubts that any other color would fit her.

She follows after Faye-] You decide on it, since you won the bet. I only follow. [Her eyes travel over some very short orange dresses, silky green dresses and floral long dresses. And each of them is making Katarina cringe- she'll have to wear that??

At the question, Katarina gives a sing-] I ran into eye-candy, I can't deny. But it's when they open their mouth that my legs seem to drag me away from them.
sinister_blade: (Don't underestimate me)

[personal profile] sinister_blade 2014-08-11 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know- I didn't really ask.

[She takes dress that Faye picked up and places it against her body. She makes a face and looks over at her-]

Blue is not my color. Because of the hair. [She feels like a rainbow.]
