[Mindy... is bored. The thing is, she'd be really great at the rescue slash jailbreak, but all of her gear is back at the castle. Her father taught her never to go into a fight unprepared and she feels really unprepared for this. The cannon practice with Damian wasn't going to help here. All the grown-ups just saw Mindy Macready and they wanted her to stay safe.

Safe and out of the way. She's been on the ship for a while.

She's trying to listen to the jailbreak over the journal. Most of it is sort of boring and hard to make out.]

Ugh. Is anyone else not in the middle of that?

Anyone? [She taps the journal, slightly annoyed.

Oh. What's this? A parrot? That's more interesting than the clang and noise from the fighting.]

Hey. Hey! Bir-- Parrot. I bet you don't want to get tarred and feathered. Come here.

[She moves, trying to be 'stealth' all the years of training to keep her steps quiet so as to not spook the parrot. The parrot, though, seems to have other ideas.]

Oh, come on. If something horrible happens, you're gonna wish I had taken care of you.

[ Taken care of him? He's the Goddamned ParrotBatman. He doesn't need a little girl to take care of him. B( But it's not like there's much he can do as a parrot besides try to bite her fingers. And squawk loudly. Which he does, and he's really kind of grateful this isn't anybody from home, because he would never live down the fact that he can only seem to chirp out, "COWARDLY LOT, COWARDLY LOT."

"Polly wanna cracker," would've been less demeaning. Fuck the castle and the horse it rode in on, man. ]


Hey! Don't you squawk at me.


(ooc: Pre-Typhoon for Route A, though that might happen IN this post at some point. But come bug the Batman Bird! She'll chase him all over the ship. Run into them WHEREVER YOU WANT.)

final day

[ This is it, everyone. There's thick fog creeping in ahead and the waves keep pushing your ship forward. No turning back now. Whatever lies ahead--Are you prepared? It's dead quiet save for the waves and the ship rocking with... Hm. ]

[ Hm? ... What's that ahead? It's a silhouette of something. Is that a.. ship? Ghost ship? Nope. It's one of the two crews, eventually all three ships meet and become just a shout's distance away ]

[ The very first thing Alexstrasza does upon arrival? Get off dat boat. She's about as done with everyone else with being water-bound even if she was lucky enough to be on route C!

So without warning, there will be a great red leviathan appearing at the lakeside in a flurry of fast-dying flames, eyes glowing. The very first thing she does is stretch her wings--massive expanses of purplish membrane that blanket the area in shade until she tucks them in at her sides.

She sits on her haunches but even then she's a behemoth--easily 6-7 stories high. Taller than the ships themselves. But there's no hostility in her here♥ she's just happy to be able to take on a form so natural to her, letting out a pleased rumble. Which really sounds more like a bellow than anything else, but still. ]

[ who knows when the journal was opened. who knows anything any more. after that escapade into the pirates world, panty feels like she knows exactly jack shit right now. she's not bothered by the apparent mess around the whole castle, either.

good thing there are conveniently aged-up girls to traumatize while she's bored and rather annoyed. ]

Oi. The hell do you mean you've never worked a pole. Sh*t you're kinda on the heavy side, but some guys go for that.

H-Hey! Don't call me fat! And why would I be working on a pole? That sounds silly.

[ lol. oh so much lol. ]

Kid, ain't you ever heard of strippers?

[blinkblink]

Um... those are the ladies that dance, right?

[ it can't be seen over the journal, but panty blinks at jade for a few seconds before bursting into laughter ]

Yeah. Yeah, they're the bitches that dance.

[ there's a snort ]

Look, all I'm saying is that with an ass like yours, you'd make a killing dancing.

[Jade sounds sooo confused.]

Um. Please don't be looking there...

But I guess I could dance. It doesn't sound too hard.

[ it's too late for that, and the moment after jade asks panty not to look, there's a loud smack that can be heard. yep, panty just smacked now 18-year old jade's ass. ]

That's the @*&$in' spirit. Heh, check it.

[ SUDDENLY THERE'S TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING OVER THE JOURNALS!! and anyone in the lobby passing by can watch panty transform into an angel, complete with wings, a halo, a sudden level-up in artistic design and... stripper pole. ]

[Jade gives the most horrified little SQUEAK! in surprise at that. Oh god this is not okay????

....

What's happening.]

Where is that music coming from? And where did that come from...? I am so confused.

[ EMBRACE IT JADE, EVERYTHING IS GOING SWIMMINGLY. ]

Hey, hey! Eyes on me! Look, I ain't this nice all the time, so this is a one-time lesson, got it?

[ with that, panty kicks the journal over as she starts to dance, ending the over-the-journals broadcast. ]

[[ooc; Jade = green, Panty = yellow/orange. Takes place like... a day after the end of the pirate plot. Jade has suffered an aging loss since the start of the pirate plot and has been hiding away ever since because WHAT DO WITH OLDER BODY THIS IS AWKWARD? But Panty found her and this happened, I guess. THE END.]]

Third Resurrection - Stretching...well...everything.

[So, it's been over a fortnight since Jono has been able to speak, walk on two legs,, or really do anything human. Folks on Route C probably didn't notice, but there was a seal gamboling about the beaches with red eyes, which naturally, was Jono. Now that he's been returned to his humanity, he's made a beeline straight to the Music Room, having had the maddening itch to play guitar for at least two weeks now. Anyone who stops by will see him surrounded by a small garrison of identical energy clones, each bearing a music instrument of some sort.]

( Filtered to Chopper... )

[Jono instructs his clones to gather in a loose stage-style setting, and they proceed to play this song, with one lonely clone off in the corner manning the bell, another waiting patiently with a flamenco guitar in his lap. After they finish that song, Jono nods, and the immediately launch into another, Jono's face -and by extension the faces of the clones- bears a rather dour expression. Finally, they play this song, sans lyrics.]

( Filtered to Tony Stark )

( Filtered to the X-Men, and his friends (Delirium, Galadriel, Marian, Shin, Lois Lane, Mark, and Nora )

[Indeed, some time later, Jono can be found in the Danger Room, blasting away at simulated robots with his tech, doing a much better job of not being knocked out, thanks to the hard light shield that's surrounding his body. Have at him!]

[ Well look who finally decided to use the journal! And that's only because he kind of has to. The castle is a mess of both stuff and people and he has no clue where his room is or how to possibly find it! ]

Well, I'm guessing that this place doesn't usually look so torn apart.

[ The next part comes out almost grudgingly, like he hates admitting some sort of weakness by asking the question. ]

...So if you're new, how do you find your room?

[ Anyone have a moment to spare to help a grumpy, antisocial poor, lost kid? ]

[As always, the very first thing York does upon a return to normality is to slip Delta back into the implant slot where he belongs.

The second, after of course hightailing it back to the castle and recovering his armor from the TARDIS, is to put on his second skin.

This third is to look around, assess the damage, and make sure his weapons lockers are nice and safe.

As this all takes a while, it's some time before York's down in the lobby, whistling at the graffiti.]

Wow. Classy and understated.

If anything, I'm pretty sure I'm going to get a nice tan out of this. You know, just with terrible tan lines. Once the burning sensation fades, I'll have the skin tone of a Roman god. That's assuming Roman gods were still on the "hey do you live in your mom's basement?" side of pale.

Alas, if that were my only problem. Clean up, aisle... everywhere.

[ unlike MOST people, tomoe has chosen to WALK back to the castle...which is not really an easy undertaking. unfortunately she is just too uncomfortable with the idea of being handled by someone with magic or supernatural abilities to really do anything else. also, it's a pride thing. she would have resisted any offers made by anyone.

if your character is of a similar mindset (this trip could take like five days), feel free to have them join her! she would have been walking most of the day, although not enjoying this 'tropical' outfit at all, since it's not exactly made for travel.

it's night-time now, though, so she'll be sitting and leaning against a tree, reading through her journal and almost regretting not taking the easy way out. now she's worried about her belonging back at the castle, so s he'll be writing something in it directed to those who are already at the castle ]

What...has happened?

[ ooc; COMPLETELY open to anybody who would have wanted to WALK back to the castle with a pretty Japanese lady! The trip will be about 3-5 days depending on how fast you are. NEW CR? OLD CR?

The written part is open over the journal, of course. ♥ ]

Notes: Please bother her. If you want to prose, prose. If you want to [action bracket] feel free to action bracket. I'm flex.



Great. They were back at the castle or whatever this place could be considered. Almost two weeks on a boat with a few brawls and even more time with people she didn't even know. Close quarters were fine, but now they were back and the walk seemed to be just another annoyance. For the most part, Faith kept her head down, trying to avoid actually listening to whatever anyone was saying around her. They'd all be going back to the castle and she wasn't planning on heading there.

Ditch the crowd, head to the club that she'd made into her personal crash landing in this place and then it'd be back to whatever it was she was supposed to do here. Not that it made any sense. Not as if she actually expected it to. It was a magic castle that had taken her not only away from what she'd been doing, but it was making her question a lot of things.

Whatever. This place would spit her out eventually and then she'd just go back to the way things were.

Now she just had to get back to the city.

[Neal has had a very long week and a half. Not that there hasn't been a part of him that thought being a pirate was very, very cool, but it was also very, very tiring, and all he wants to do is go back to his room and go to bed.

He THINKS that the security he had would be enough. He THINKS that even though the rest of the castle is in shambles, he might be okay.

His door torn off his hinges? That's a problem. All the tiredness fades away, and he's rushing for the door, making his way inside only to find ... it's gone. All of it is gone. All of the art that he was working on, the canvas was torn, sculpture broken.]

No. Nononono.

[and with that, he's going to sink down against his doorframe and try to remember how to breathe. It's just art. It's just art.

It's never just art.]

[Kaylee's first priority, once they'd made it back to the castle and taken in the destruction waiting for them there, was to help Zoe put their quarters back in order. The markings on the walls...the ripped pillows and beds...those have her in a not-so-great mood...but the shower still works and it helps alleviate the sulk that had been settling in.

...Until she remembers her workshop.

There hadn't been any big projects. Nothing like the Mule. But those were her machines. Her tools.]

*Aiya.

[Zoe might hear the door slam as Kaylee runs from their rooms, practically throwing herself across the hall into her make-shift workspace, where the anyone with an open journal will suddenly be graced with a stream of swearing.

There's a moment where he's checking out the room, and then he grabs both a piece of metal from the floor and the journal from his pocket.]

Hey. My dog had a scrap with the people who trashed the place. I've got parts of their armor.
