Who: The Usopp Pirates! and anyone they might invite along/get followed in by, pretty much.
What: A meet and greet.
Where: Battle dome!
When: November 21st-ish.
Summary: Kind-of pirates getting together to mingle, tell stories, and fight against a life-ruining turn in weather. And whatever else might go afoul.
Rating: G? I'll change it if necessary.

[ WOW, what a great day for a picnic, am I right?

All things considered, it's possibly not even slightly the best time for Usopp to have arranged this get-together of sorts. Between the phobias, the depressing return trips home, and the fact that all pirates- even the fake, having-fun kind- are cursed with life-ruining, it's hard to find room for some harmless shenaniganry.

Not that he knows about half of those things. Or any of them.

Usopp doesn't see why he can't try, anyway. So he scrawls out a buttload of personal invitations for "in about three hours", all of which have a few too many exclamation points, to be completely honest. He then proceeds to spend two and a half hours at the Battledome figuring out how to Do The Thing with all this machinery.

Congratulations everyone, it's a random pirate ship. Start with the basics, he figures. He's also very resourcefully (super easily) tossed together a basket of pre-packaged sandwiches and chips and some random drinks he found that he thought looked cool at the time. Aw yeah, preparation.

Usopp hangs around outside the chamber until everyone he thinks is coming manages to turn up, at which point he will begin socializing like he's never socialized before. Spoilers: it's exactly how he socialized before. There's a lot of talking going on, oops.

And thanks to Nami making an ill-planned deal with a vengeance demon, the in-Dome festivities will end with a surprise typhoon! Not quite at strike-people-down-with-lightning-and-the-fury-of-gods level, but pretty troublesome in terms of wind and low visibility.

Basically everyone can threadjack/mingle and have fun and use whatever format they feel most like using. ]

Before doom!

[Vash showed up right on time, invite in hand, and shouting loudly.] Hello! Swabbie Vash! Reporting for duty! HAHAHA! I think that's a crew thing, right? A swabbie?

[On the ship he's a bundle of energy and excitement. He's never really been on a real boat before like this. Although he's now seen the ocean several times now, he's never been so far out he couldn't see any land. It was amazing to him.

That is, once he's gotten over the motion sickness just a bit. He spends the first part of the trip nearby the railing. Once it passes however he's eager to lend a hand and ask questions.]


What if there's no air? How do we move? How do the canons work? What's this attached too? Is this thing important? Can I steer! How do I steer? What's that! There's not really a poop deck is there?

[Although, once in awhile he can be found being calm and quiet. Staring off into the sea. A big smile on his face as he watches the waves. How he wished he could show his friends back home all of this. It was simply amazing.]

[Spock walks around the ship in a rather sober mood, bandages on his hands and head. But, he looks almost amused as he sees Vash excitedly move around the ship.]

You are quite inquisitive.
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Teehee! I'm going to kill you!)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-11-24 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if I want to be a good swabbie I have to learn as much as I can about the ship, don't I?

Although, are you sure you're alright. Those bandages don't exactly look comfortable.
spohkh: (I am Content)

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-11-24 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I am mending. Do you know any other terms that belong in this situation?

[The Vulcan is curious about this 'pirate' setting.]

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-11-26 12:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, not really. I've never been on a ship like this one before. Have you ever sailed the ocean?
spohkh: (Bemused)

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-11-26 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I have not. I actually do not care for water.

[Spock looks over the edge of the boat.] I am from a desert planet, hot temperatures and very few bodies of water.

[He's sailed the stars... does that count?]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (At peace - halfway there)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-11-27 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Really? I'm from a desert planet myself and I can't get enough of the water. Makes me wish we had an ocean at home too.

[If Vash was more open about himself he and Spock could probably trade some interesting space stories.]
spohkh: (You know I'm awesome)

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-11-28 02:52 pm (UTC)(link)
As a Vulcan, my bone density is significantly higher than that of a human... meaning we do not swim so much as sink.

[There's the real reason why Spock doesn't really like water. He doesn't really know how to swim.]

Do you swim?
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Have you seen my eye?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-11-29 12:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? That doesn't sound very good. Well, hopefully we won't sink.

[He laughs a bit shyly at the question of his own swimming. Remembering the first time he had ever tried. He wasn't an amazing swimmer, but had thankfully figured it out fast enough to get his friends to shore before they drowned.]

I've been slowly learning since coming into Luceti. Never really know when it will come in handy.
spohkh: (Oh Hai)

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-11-29 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Indeed, there is much to be learned here. It is a shame that we must forget our experiences when we are sent back to our respective universes.

Who is teaching you?

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-12-01 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, to be honest I've been mostly teaching myself so it's been slow going. But I can keep myself alive now if I was to suddenly fall in. Just won't be winning any swim races anytime soon.
spohkh: Thoughtful (Shh.... I'm thinking...)

[personal profile] spohkh 2013-12-03 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Is it not... daunting?

[I guess it entirely depends on how much you like water. For Spock, it's quite something to just get into the water and trust that you can breath when he need to.]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (What do you mean I don't look innocent?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-12-03 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It can be. I probably would learn better if I had a teacher, but I'm a bit shy. [Spock should not see what he's hiding under that long coat of his.] I like being able to work at my own pace. I don't go too far out over my head so I should be alright.

Then again, maybe I should try to find a real teacher when the weather warms up again.

Miss Ami Mizuno has offered her services to teach me how to swim... If you know her perhaps you could ask her ask well.

[She was a very good swimmer.
Oh~? What's under the coat, Vash?]
goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Just smile and nod)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-12-04 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[A million and one scars that he'd prefer no one to ever lay eyes on.]

I do know her. I'll have to give that a think over. [As there is no way he'll ever be caught dead in swimming trucks with a girl around.]

[Him and Spock should talk more... because Spock has to wear a full wet suit before he even considers getting in the water.
It's cold~]


She is... patient. Which is always most appreciated.

goldenglasses: Maker on LJ (Just smile and nod)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-12-07 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's good. A teacher should be patient when teaching someone something new. Even more when it could save your life.

[a/n: would it be okay if we fade here? They could talk about swimming and sailing for ages~ XD]

[a/n: Sure! Unless we want the storm to hit in the middle of their chatting!]
goldenglasses: (You really think so?)

[personal profile] goldenglasses 2013-12-01 01:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Really!? I feel sorry for the people that have a captain that isn't you, Captain Usopp! I feel so safe knowing I have such an expert looking out for me!


....is there really such thing as a poop deck? [That may be the most important question he has at the moment.]
