THE GOTTALA TREIFYU

WHO: ImPorts.
WHERE: Gottala Treifyu of TíraFórsae.
WHEN: April 21st 2013 noon to April 25th 11:59 PM.
WARNINGS: Possible violence, gore.
SUMMARY: Off-world adventure on EARTH KLADSUO834LKSFDLKJ8718=LAJD
FORMAT: Whatever.



[It looked like a Frigate ballooned out, twenty times its natural size. This Gottala of wood and steel does indeed conjure the idea of a Man-O-War, with its thrusting, skybound mast and intimidating array of long, cold gunlike cannons lining its front and side. There's a warlike air about the bearing of the Gottala, something instinctively offensive, as if the entire concept of this city-ship is to scavenge the flayed flesh of those less fortunate than they are.

Which rather befits a piratical ship, doesn't it?

This mammoth of a ship is remarkable, and seemingly deviant of normal floatation physics -- but it's by no means the largest of the Gottalas. This one houses perhaps 8,000 people, and most of that populace is made of young adults, the equivalent of your hip twentysomethings and almost as rabid on board as in a trendy thrift shop.

Upon its slight concave back, in the very middle of the ship, stood what looked to be a village. Upon closer inspection, however, one might notice that very few buildings were dedicated to personal housing: with the exception of a flurry of hostels, most were taverns and entertainment zones – either theatres or gambling dens or even a rare library. Streets are illuminated with strung lanterns, which exudes a real devious atmosphere.

Those on board, for the most part, seem amused by the idea of imPorts. A few will snicker if you introduce yourself as an imPort -- it almost sounds like an unflattering word, doesn't it?

[ And if you're just wandering the streets, you may come across a redheaded teenage girl dashing madly away from a handful of locals, a small bag of fruit clutched in her arms. ]

You're pirates here! Pirates! I heard you talking about that raid! You don't get to complain when someone steals from you!

[ In her haste to flee, she may even run into someone... ]
notadartboard: (high kick)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-04-24 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[why not run into another pirate? One who happens to have just helped himself to a free loaf of bread much the same, only without the chasing. Sanji could sidestep and let her pass but...it's a cute girl, like hell if he'll let them catch her!

He moves around her deftly and throws a foot up in the air so fast that the eye can hardly follow, plowing into the chin of the foremost pursuer
]

Don't you assholes have something better to do than harass a lady?
seeksherownsalvation: (have mercy upon us miserable offenders)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-04-24 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[It takes a few seconds for Kyouko to stop running. She's a bit away by the time she registers that her pursuers have been stopped. One of them is flat on his back on the ground now, and the other two are helping him up while eying Sanji warily, whispering amongst themselves over whether it's worth trying to fight him over this bag of fruit of dubious origins.]

Huh?

[Kyouko looks back at him in confusion.]

They're harassing a lady? Where is she?
notadartboard: (thumbs up)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-04-24 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[so adorable! Sanji just glances back long enough to give her a thumbs-up]

Don't worry about it, miss! I'll chase these guys off for you. It shouldn't take long.
seeksherownsalvation: (but rather that he may turn)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-04-28 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[It must not be very good fruit, because Kyouko's pursuers, after taking another few looks at Sanji, his determiend face, and the foot he used to kick one of them, are backing off. With a few muttered words that definitely don't mean anything complimentary, they scatter, leaving Kyouko to her ill-gotten gains.

She scrutinizes Sanji.]


Y'know I stole this stuff, right? That ain't so lady-like.
notadartboard: (bow)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-04-28 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[he brushes himself down, feeling pretty damn proud of himself]

It doesn't matter where you got it, if it's going to keep you from going hungry. The rules here are sort of suspended anyway.

[he offers her a little bow] Black Leg Sanji at your service, miss. For protecting or for keeping you well-fed, whatever it takes.
seeksherownsalvation: (grant you absolution)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-04-30 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't care about the rules in the first place.

[She draws herself up into a fierce pose, only to look surprised and somewhat deflated when he just bows to her.

But wait, there's something of interest in what he just said.]


Did you just offer to get me more food? I think you just offered to get me more food.
notadartboard: (big doofy grin)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-04-30 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you hungry? [a big grin] I think I can make something happen. It might not be my usual standard seeing as I don't have access to a kitchen, but I can be resourceful.
seeksherownsalvation: (which we ought not to have done)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-04-30 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[She starts to beam--but then she stops. Her eyes narrow.]

What's the catch here? You already rescued me from those guys, and now you're gonna make a meal for me? Uh-uh, things like that don't come for free!
notadartboard: (see I'm the smart one)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-05-01 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[hands up] No catch! I promise. I'm a chef, it's my duty to make sure people don't go hungry. Especially people who can't nick fruit without getting caught.
seeksherownsalvation: (have mercy upon us miserable offenders)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-05-01 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
That's no duty of any chef I know. You just gotta cook the food, right? You're not obliged to make no one eat it if they don't pay.

[Her eyes are still a bit narrowed, but she's inching slightly closer to him.]
notadartboard: (hot shit)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-05-01 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, all right, maybe it's more accurate to say, it's my personal duty to make sure no one goes hungry. And around here, these damn pirates have more than enough food and drink to spare, so it's their duty to part with some so that people like you and I can have a decent dinner. How's that?
seeksherownsalvation: (restore thou them)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-05-01 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[She thinks that over for a few moments.]

Maybe I oughta ask why that's your personal duty, but right now I don't think I care. So long as you make me food!
notadartboard: (thumbs up)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-05-02 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
That, I can do. And watch your back so no more of these assholes think they can get away with chasing a girl down.
seeksherownsalvation: (but thou o Lord)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-05-04 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I always watch my back.

[Pause.]

It's just I'm tired from being on that other ship, and I was hungry.
notadartboard: (gqmf)

[personal profile] notadartboard 2013-05-05 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
I don't blame you. I had the same problem a couple days ago. I know how to fix it, a good meal is all you need.
seeksherownsalvation: (according to thy promises)

[personal profile] seeksherownsalvation 2013-05-09 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
[She's already nodding.]

Yeah. That's always the right solution, I think. So, let's see if you can make me that "good meal."
