When: June-ish
What: General crew log
Warnings:
Style: Any

Motochika and Ragna have survived a year of marriage (somehow). This is definitely a cause for celebration! And entering the armadillo in races so they can gamble away all their money on him. And gambling away what money they have left after the armadillo race. Basically, this is what happens after they've been without adult supervision for months.

Warnings: Mawwiage

In other words, apparently this is a harem anime now.

Where: Heartless Island
When: October 24 - November-ish
What: General crew log for creepy Halloween events on a pretty creepy island
Warnings: Ragna the Chickenedge
Style: Any
Status: Open to whoever's in the area

The crew of the Katabami, for reasons unknown, have landed on Heartless Island. It seems an interesting enough place, not to mention one that may have a treasure somewhere the captain can get his greedy hands on, but it's more than a little unsettling.

And now the fog is rolling in.

06 August 2014 @ 01:17 am
Who: The crew of the Katabami
Where: Port Chance -> Tartle Island -> Isla Empieza
When: August 2nd -> Whenever we decide we need a new log for new things
What: General crew log for general crew things.
Warnings: The usual.
Style: Any
Status: Saiing portions closed to crew, island portions open to whoever's in the area

Now that they've won the Great Ghost Race and somehow managed to get out of Port Chance despite their stalwart captain being completely drunk off his ass, the brave crew of the Katabami decide it's time to go visit a giant turtle and hope Motochika is too hungover to consider buying himself a miniature bubble-farting whale.
 
 
The race back to the floating finish line at Port Chance is perhaps as chaotic as the beginning, with ships blasting each other with cannon fire and desperately try to sink the other as they jockey for position. The day is fine and fair -- but no matter who is in the lead or how close to the finish line you are, a ship black as death with tattered sails will pass right beside you, casting frost on decks and sails before flying over the finishing line and disappearing into mist.

Once the ship is gone the skies clear completely, breaking open to a beautiful blue day laced with sunshine. Crowds on either side cheer wildly, throwing confetti, flowers, discount coupons at nearby brothels, rotting fish heads, and occasionally small flash bombs so be careful of that.


After the winners pull into the docks specifically assigned to them, the captains and/or representatives of the first three crews will be taken up to a series of raised platforms high above the city to be presented with: A golden ship, a silver ship, and a bronze ship respectively.

Then they will be attacked by the presenters and have to run from the platforms or be killed, as per tradition, though they won't be pursued further.

The Fourth Place winner will have their Large Mystery Box handed to them after the winners have escaped and must then fend off their own attackers, as per tradition.

The Tenth Place winner will have the small mystery box placed on their ship in the middle of the night (on the 1st) and have to then roust the intruders before they set the sails on fire, as per tradition.

Everyone else gets a cast iron fish head bottle opener chucked haphazardly at the captain's head. (One per crew)


Afterwards, everyone is invited to a two day party! Lasting until the morning of the 2nd, when the town will gather together and chase out any lingering pirates with pitchforks, swords, and rather unpleasant incendiary bombs. As per tradition.

(Don't forget the talent show running on the 1st! See Musa-mun for details)


Thank you all for coming to the First Annual (for you) Great Ghost Race! Hope to see you again next year!
 
 
Who: The crew of the Katabami (and the Queen's Gambit as well if they want to stop by)
Where: Scorpion Reef → Darkcloud Kingdom → Corsair Kingdom
When: July 7th – whenever we leave Corsair Kingdom
What: Catchall for all Ghost Race shenanigans
Warnings: Probably
Style: Any
Status: Semi-open (Feel free to stop by if you're in the area!)

If there's one thing the captain of the Katabami loves, it's a good boat race. If there's one thing he hates, it's LOSING a boat race and he's not afraid to take drastic measures to make sure that doesn't happen. Let's hope that, this time, his pride stays a bit more intact than the last time he tried.

Itinerary
7/7 – 7-12 – The Port Chance → Isla Empieza → Scorpion Reef leg of the voyage (with bonus token winning!)
7-13 – 7/19 – The Scorpion Reef → Darkcloud Kingdom leg. We're taking to the skies! (Token status: Won!)
7/20 – 7/26 – The Darkcloud Kingdom → Corsair Kingdom leg (Who knows what sort of mess we'll be in by this point.)

The rest of our race details are here. Good luck!

What: General crew log for boat upgrading, soothing the savage Kodachi, exploring the island, and so on and so forth.
Warnings: Worst blushing bride ever
Style: Any
Status: Closed to crew

Following their captain's brilliant decision to fake-marry a guy who can't even stand him and Kodachi's even more brilliant decision to burn down half of Eternal Bliss, the crew of the Katabami decide that maybe it's a good idea to find a nice remote island to hide on until such a time as they have to head back south to kick everyone's asses in the Ghost Race.

What: General crew log for general crew things and the age down event
Warnings: Little Princess

Status: Isla Empieza portions open to anyone in the area, sailing portions closed to crew

Well, Lover's Island was certainly...interesting. Everyone on the Katabami crew is probably quite content to be on familiar shores for a while and the captain is looking forward to snatching up some new arrivals to fill out their ranks.

But no one is expecting the latest curse to have such a drastic effect on a few members of the crew.
 
 
Who: The crew of the Katabami
Where: Lover's Island
When: 4/25 - the beginning of May
What: Time to get our shard! Not that it's going to be easy.

The raging storms surrounding Lover's Island fill the brave crew of the Katabami with dread. A shard waits for them beyond those powerful winds, but to get at it? Well, no one is really looking forward to it...

Now that the Katabami has left Legends of the Hidden Island with a hold full of treasure and a brand new armadillo...thing, it's time to restock at Isla Empieza, pick up some new crew, then head north to see what they can find.

Except they end up in a showdown with one of the Navy's most ruthless captains instead.

[If anyone else wants to join up with us, this is the time to do it!]
