Open Log for Two Pirate Ships Day

When; Dec. 14th

Rating; TBA

Characters; [livejournal.com profile] revelations9x6 Xulchilbara so far.

Summary; Xulchi's first curse, and a nautical one too!
(I'm going to assume the other characters assigned to the Little Barroness may want to tag in? Open to whomever really =D )

Log;

The Red God never slept.

Well, to be precise, he did not sleep as humans define the idea.
Occasionally, however, he would leave the body he possessed and move about as spirit rather than flesh.
His 'body' would appear dead, and for all intents and purposes, was just that; respiration, pulminary and cerebral functions all in a suspended state as to be nigh undetectable.
To do was was refreshing, even comforting as Xulchilbara rather disliked being limited by the awakward, and often cumbersome clay of humanity.

Today, however, he was rather sorry he had engaged in such rejuvination.
For instead of returning to the manor and his suite of rooms therein, he had 'awoken' to an unfamiliar ( and decidedly smaller ) room.

His bed now rested on the floor, but still retained it's blood-red hangings, and the soft bedclothes he preferred. Beyond that, there was little similarity.
The hearth was gone, and the walls, while covered in similar fabrics, were wooden planking instead of stone.
Worse than all of these changes?

The window.

A wretched window that allowed in light
Meager light, but light nevertheless.
He rose from the bed quickly, and in so doing noted he was clothed in a skirt of black fabric that pooled around his ankles, then looked out the lattice to see that instead of being in the manor, or on land, there was mist wreathed ocean as far as the eye could see.

Curious, and not a little confused, he closed those ever-burning eyes and reached out through his marks on his children and felt reassurred when thier presences registered as also being nearby.
Except for one...

The Executioner.
He was further away, and somehow......altered?

Not a little concerned with all of this, the Red God moved now to the double doors set in the far wall, and opened them to find a modest set of steps, and beyond those....

.........A ship?

Yes, a ship. The style of which took him a full minute to recognize as egyptian in nature.
The vessel was massive, and with sudden clarity, he realized that what had drawn him back from moving amongst the ether was the massive shift in the Ticking Clock's influence over it's citizens.

Mist curled around the mast of this oddity, and burning eyes followed the single mast up with a quizzical expression.
So this was a curse?

Granted that with the knowledge that this was all some mischief on The City's part came the realization he could lessen it's influence and return himself, his home, and his children to rights....but a creeping sense of mischief and curiosity fairly begged the question: But why?

"That'd be my guess. I certainly didn't willingly come on the damn ship." He turned to the other man with a faint smirk on his face. "Me name's Farfarello. You are..?" He figured if he was going to be on the ship with these people for the day he might as well find out their names.

"And who's that behind ye there?" He craned his neck slightly to try and peer around the other, able to sense another living being behind Henry, and able to sense that the girl was pregnant to boot.

"My name's Henry Townshend..." He held a hand out to the other man, in case he wanted to shake it. That's what you do when you meet new people, right?

He looked bewildered and turned his head to look behind him as he was asked about the other person. He shook his head and said truthfully, "...I don't know." Then he stood rather awkwardly, as if he didn't know what to say next. "Uh...well, we're not stuck in families, like that one curse day, at least. It's good to meet you, Farfarello."

Farfarello took the other's hand and shook it after a moment, then glanced over to the girl behind Henry. "I'm very glad I wasn't affected by that curse at least. And it's nice to meet you too Henry.." He wasn't used to meeting people under normal circumstances; and anything to do with this city was anything but normal.

His single golden eye looked over Henry almost critically, then turned a bit to look at the girl behind him. "And ye would be..?"

She could honestly say she didn't like the look of this one either. Another feeling of wrong, but she supressed it, her grip on her kunai tightening further.

"Shizune of Konoha." She finally answered, looking at both the men warily. "Ninja medic."

Farf could tell that she was wary of them and grinned, pretty well baring his teeth, something that looked more than a little unnerving to most people. "Nice to meet ye Shizune." He used his biokinesis almost curiously to see how far along the girl was, but didn't say anything about knowing she was pregnant.

His attention then slowly turned back to Xulchilbara and Heine curiously. "So, who are those two anyway?"

"... a pleasure" She finally answered, putting away the kunai... for now. She seemed not to be in any imminent danger, but she was still on alert, muscles tensed in preparation for any sudden moves. She could not answer the man's question, she knew neither of this men, so she stayed quiet, watching all assembled in silence.
