| DAY 7 | Wonders to Behold

[The storms have fled for now. In the wake of the nightmare of rock and mist, there are gentle waves, clear sky, and lovely wind. It's perfect sailing weather. Sometimes beside the ship, one can catch a glimpse of dark shapes-- fish or something else. Of course, if people shoot into the water like bored idiots with extra ammunition, that won't keep happening.

The sea spray glistens in the air near the ocean's surface. If one peeks closely enough, he can see a rainbow.]

[ooc: Please wait a moment for me to get all the sections up! DONE. And then it's business as usual: threadhop, threadjack, and backtag into INFINITY!]

SHOOTING THE BREEZE

[withoutbarrier.livejournal.com]

[The day has been thankfully uneventful. This is a good time to play games, pal around, eat food, or swab the deck if you're a failure. What do your characters want to do now that they aren't being chased or electrocuted to death?]

[YURI IS SLEEPING ON THE DECK. Feel free to trip over him or yell at him for getting in the way.]

[Luke sees this while munching on lunch.

Luke gets an idea.

He grins like a bastard and tries to bean Yuri in the head with an apple. He has good aim, and Yuri is a stationary target, so.]

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[The apple successfully bonks Yuri on the head, landing in the pool of his hair. Yuri is fortunately something of a light sleeper. Eyes open groggily as Yuri turns on his side, spotting the apple.

And he just

takes the apple

and eats it.]

[...]

You're not human.

[No, you just can't troll a troll.]

THE SANDBAR

[withoutbarrier.livejournal.com]

[Rising up out of the sea unexpectedly is a sandbar, but thankfully, the ship doesn't get too close. Sea birds play in the sand and chase the crabs. Leaning over the railing gives an amusing view of flying fish in many shapes and colors. Occasionally, a swimming bird near the ship eats one.]

[ooc: some music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thsqmqo1SjQ). :)]

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

[Luke gasps at the fish.] Whoaaaa! Look at that! They're flying!

[Yes, Luke, that's what flying fish do. Anyway, he leans out over the railing to get a closer look-- and gets slapped in the face with a fish. He sputters.]

[Rose is sat nearby and smirks a little]

Well, would you want someone from an unknown species all up in your personal space?

[chosenfake.livejournal.com]

[He rubs at his nose and gives Rose a look.]

I-I just wanted to look...

[/sulk sulk sulk]

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

And that required you to get close enough that they could hit you? It's really rather fortunate that you didn't fall in.

UNEXPECTED COMPANY

[withoutbarrier.livejournal.com]

[Sometime in late afternoon, the chittery laughter of dolphins echoes around the ship. Feel free to throw fish at them or... whatever. But please don't shoot them. That's not very nice.]

[closetpervert]

[Summoner is just chillaxing on the deck and looking over the side, when those so called dolphins pop up. Taking notice, he peacefully watched them.]

Phew~ you certainly are swimming lively. [He softly chuckled to himself.]

[withoutbarrier.livejournal.com]

[One does a backflip, followed by another, and another. More laughter. ♥ They're having fun trying to impress Klarth.]

[closetpervert]

Is that right? [He happily laughed more. ♥ Perhaps he could get some scraps from the kitchen? Though he wasn't exactly sure what these things ate;;;]

[withoutbarrier.livejournal.com]

[One of them leaps up, twists to show its white belly, and snaps a flying fish right out of the air.

Well then.]

SURE IS DRAGONAIR IN HERE

[withoutbarrier.livejournal.com]

[While the crew is occupied with the new friends they've stumbled upon, a slinky shape appears on the horizon: serpentine, with silver scales and fins that reflect the low sunlight and the waves. It's too distant to reach with weapons or magic, and it is beautiful in an elegant, 'keep it the fuck away from me' way.

It disappears beneath the waves, apparently uninterested in the sailors.]

Re: SURE IS DRAGONAIR IN HERE

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

[Rose stands alone on deck, just watching the serpentine figure. While she's not adverse to company, nor is she used to being around so many people for so long, and the dangerous elegance of this creature fascinates her.

That said, she isn't exactly hiding if anyone wants to approach her]

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[Yuri walks up to join her casually, taking a bite out of a loaf of bread, only vaguely appreciative of the mysterious creature on the horizon. Hey, at least it's not attacking. That's gotta be a good sign.

Breaking off a piece, he holds it out to her.]

Want some?

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

[Rose looks up, accepting the offered bread with a faint smile. She hadn't really thought about it much before but now food had been mentioned she was feeling a little peckish]

Thank you.

[She turns back to the horizon]

I was not aware such creatures were even in existence. From this distance, it makes for quite the distraction.

[notflynn.livejournal.com]

[He shrugs, not always the type to take gratitude gracefully, also staring back out at the ocean.]

Me neither. It's pretty amazing the kind of things you run into in this world.

... WHAT THE HELL, MAN

[withoutbarrier.livejournal.com]

[After all of that, a nice meal is what you're probably wanting. After all, half of a restaurant's staff are traveling on Poseidon's Spear.

Dinner is fabulous, but the dessert is not. It smells like burning, because, well, it is. It used to be cake, but was burned so much it liquified, if that's even physically possible. Thankfully, Luke isn't crazy enough to serve it-- it's hiding in the back of the kitchen.]

[closetpervert]

[Here's Klarth sitting at the dining table, satisfied with his meal and he takes another sip of his liquor when he gets a whiff of that awful smell.]

Hm? Is something burning?

[He glanced towards the kitchen.]

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

[Rose catches a whiff of that burning smell too and follows his glance]

Apparently. I wasn't aware we were having charcoal for dessert.

[closetpervert]

[Ouch, especially coming from a girl. Keep at it boy. He weakly smiled. Oh, how this reminded him of Arche's cooking;;]

Ah, perhaps someone should go check on him.

[derse-princess.livejournal.com]

Perhaps.

[She gives a light shrug, turning her gaze away from the kitchen]

Although I'm sure if the something burning was him we'd know it by now.
