[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.

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!"

[redcinemareel]

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!

[hollywood_bro]

Dave is flooded by so many emotions that he doesn't know what to say. Part of him wants to scream at Grell for being gone and the other part wants to just hold her close and never let her go. He makes every attempt to calm himself down, including his own internal monologue, Okay, dude. Just chill out and play it cool. She doesn't want to be smothered by a desperate asshole.

When he gets close he casually throws an arm around Grell and gives her a kiss. "Damn, babe. You had me worried. This place is like hell without you."

[redcinemareel]

Once he gets close enough, Grell returns the kiss and throws her arms about his neck.

"Well, no one said you could leave, idiot! How could you?!" Of course, she's pretty happy that they're both back, so her words carry little venom in them. When she pulls back, she checks him over quickly with a slightly nervous. "You're alright, yes?"

[hollywood_bro]

"Hey, no one said you could leave either. That was so rude." There isn't the slightest bit of blame in his tone though. He knows it wasn't her fault. Dave moves an arm to cradle the small of Grell's back and keep her close.

"I'm fine, babe. Fine as fuck in fact. So fine that during the ghost race people were like, who's that guy standing next to the first mate? He's so fine I can't handle it. I'd better not attack him because it would be a crime against nature to mar that handsome face."

[redcinemareel]

She laughs at his statement, running fingers through his hair. "How I've missed the oddities that come out of your mouth!" Half the time she doesn't know what Dave talks about, but at least this time it all made sense. How rare!

"At least you came out unscathed~!"

[hollywood_bro]

"And so did you. I was worried sick about you. Like literally I got so sick sometimes I wanted to puke." Or maybe it was just seasickness. Who knows? He hasn't really been seasick since his first couple of weeks here though.

[redcinemareel]

"My poor David~!" She examines his face a bit. "You seem well now." No pasty coloring from what she could see.

[hollywood_bro]

"Dude, David is my father. Just call me Dave. There should never be a D at the end of my name that's an obamination. Not to be confused with Obama nation 'cause that's pretty cool."

Yes, he's fine. He's always pasty, but it's just his usual pale skin. He isn't sickly pale.

[redcinemareel]

"...ah...abomination?" How was that cool? Grell also though he said it funny.

[hollywood_bro]

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

Dave just smiles at Grell. She's never going to get it.

"The point is I'm fine now that you're here."

[redcinemareel]

Grell smiled in return and embraced him about his neck. Hopefully not too tightly. Humans and their need to breathe.

[hollywood_bro]

It's okay, he can still breathe. Sort of. Dave kisses her again. Grell's hugs aren't the only thing about her that takes his breath away.
