navy (6/20) day two - AFTERNOON to EVENING

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

[ Welcome to Purgatorio. It's the jewel of the ocean, the envy of the world, an island that's as pristine and polished as the Navy itself. People from all over the world come to enjoy the high culture. Of course, it's not like this is your first time visiting. It's where the Navy keeps it headquarters, after all, and that's exactly where you're heading. ]

[ Your wise and venerable leader, the Fleet Admiral, has called all of you Admirals together for a meeting. New assignments, updates, and the current going-ons will all be addressed. It's kind of a big deal. When it's time, get your asses to the meeting. But until then, take some time to chill out with your Navy bros. ]

THE MEETING

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

[ Well, it's about that time already. The big meeting. Don't be nervous, though, you've been to a million of these things. You're an Admiral, don't forget. ]

[Make your way through the impressive lobby (http://i.imgur.com/s1gcQ.jpg) and through a long hallway, and you'll reach the grand meeting room (http://i.imgur.com/gFmZw.jpg). Your Fleet Admiral, Tony Stark, is already there, waiting. Make your way to your seat, man. ]

GREETINGS

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to see you could all make it. [ Tony nods to his men, the Admirals. ] We only get together like this once or twice a year. We need to make it count.

[ He looks solemn and serious for a minute, but then he leans back in his seat and kicks his feet up on the table. Well, there goes that serious feel, right out the window. ]

So really, don't be afraid to call for some sake or beer. No reason to keep things all stiff and formal between us, right?

[ This must be the part of the meeting where everybody chills out for a minute. Sure, everybody might put on their serious business faces when dealing with the underlings, but it's only the higher-ups in here. And at the very least Tony doesn't seem keen on keeping up that high and mighty air. ]

[Sometimes Peter likes to pretend they don't actually work together. He's happiest during these moments.]

[loveablecoward.livejournal.com]

[Courage pushes him a glass full of beer. So you can better enjoy everything Glorious Leader says.]

[she's listening, but she doesn't make an effort to be at all informal.

She simply takes a sip of her coffee. Which she already spiked beforehand.]

[bloodsoak.livejournal.com]

[ Neither does Akabane, who looks much like his usual self.

He is smiling, though, which is more than Natsuki. ]

My, my... You look as serious as ever, Kuga-san.

[technicallyabug.livejournal.com]

[Drumming his fingers on the table. Impatient? Who's impatient? Not Peter. He's like the paragon of patienticity. That's a real word. A real word he just made up right now.]

[foolreversed]

[well at least Adachi's way more relaxed now than he was before the meeting started. Still fidgeting like a squirrel though, but that's pretty much par for the course for him.]

[flambage.livejournal.com]

Oi, Stark! Hurry it up, got places to be!

[Read: he's shirking work for a date later tonight uguuuuuu]

ASSIGNMENTS

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

[ Tony motions to get everybody's attention again. He even takes his feet off the table. Which is probably a good idea anyway, that table is way too expensive to leave footprints on. ]

I'm sure you're all wondering about the latest news and assignments I've got for you, so let's move on with that...

DEATH HILL

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure how many of you are aware of this, but we entered into an agreement with a desert town a day's sail out of the Great Walled City. The rains have been nonexistent for the last few years, and a few months back they negotiated a deal for us to deliver supplies to them twice a month.

[ He leans back in his seat again, but doesn't put his feet up this time. ]

Usually we wouldn't bother sending an Admiral out on an errand like this, but the Kogero Pirates attacked the last shipment. Hate to admit we messed up, but they were actually able to sink one of our ships.

So this time, we're sending three armed ships, and five Admirals. We won't make this an every-time occurrence, but we need to give them a show of force, both to dissuade the pirates and ensure the townspeople that we're taking this deal seriously.

I want Neltharion, Natsuki, Peter, Courage, and Colette on this. The drop-off will be the abandoned city of Death Hill. Any questions?

PURGATORIO

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

With that out of the way, let's talk about our city of Purgatorio. [ It's the jewel of the world, they say, but more than that, it was the jewel of the Navy itself. ] As you all know, we have a permanent post here of three Admirals. Akabane works as the warden of the prison, and Zoro and Sanji are on-hand to assist with the transfer of prisoners and quell unruly prisoners. [ In other words, extremely glorified prison guards. ]

Since we've seen increased pirate activity, though, travelers have expressed worry about their safety. It goes without saying that everybody should feel safe within the city we make our own headquarters in, so I'll be assigning an extra two Admirals to the city, to patrol it and the surrounding waters to quell any possible pirate activity.

For this, I'm going to have to ask Harvey and Stocking to stick around here. Sorry if the two of you had any big travel plans, but you'll be keeping us company around here for a while.

CAPE TRIUMPHE

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

All right, that's enough of the glorified publicity stunts.

Adachi, I'm going to need to ask you to set sail to Cape Triumphe. I'm sure I don't need to tell you just how many pirates sail through that city. We're not fantastically well-liked there, but it's a prime spot to stop a few pirates crews.

Take as many ships and men as you need, but you'll want to sail quickly.

[ This was how things usually worked--Admirals took charge, and they got things done. Tony was confident Adachi would be able to handle it. ]

THE GREAT WALLED CITY

[fired-once.livejournal.com]

Aaaand last up.... No, I didn't forget about you, Tamaki.

I'm going to need to get somebody to head to the Great Walled City. That's where you come in.

I know the position is boring, but it's an important point, and we need to maintain some sort of Navy presence there. But hey, you can always think of it as a vacation. You've earned one of those, right?

[ Tony... pauses for a minute. ]

And you know, I've never tried their specialty rum. I wouldn't say no if you offered to pick me up a few bottles.
