Adventure 1- The Surface [Action]

IIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!



[Anyone in the area of Luceti's beach has probably just heard an ear-splitting, sonic screech. The astute observer (or, even the non-astute observer) may notice uncharacteristically large waves breaking up on the beach. For any curious enough, if they look out to sea, they'll notice something spectacular. A large pink mermaid is splashing about, swimming quickly one direction, then crying out- much more quietly now- and changing directions suddenly. She does this a number of times, then dives deep, only to surface a few minutes later, looking for all the world like she's trying to beat the world record for "longest surface jump made by a fish". Whatever her goal is, she doesn't appear to be achieving it, because the process repeats itself over and over.

Those with extremely good eyesight, or who are brave (or stupid) enough to try getting closer may notice a bit of flotsam trailing along behind her.

A Malnosso-issued journal.]

[What the hell--?]

[Is that...?]

[No way, she'd still be a child, right?]

[Oh but it has been two years for the Straw Hats so it could be... Nah. That's absurd. Then again, he can't think of any other giant mermaids. Oh King Neptune, your line is so... something.]

[............ Wow, she's still going at it? Dear god that's deafening.]


Miss! Miss! Please try to stop screaming, it'll be okay. What's wrong? [He's not sure yelling into the journal will help though, so he tucks his own in his sash, and takes off flying to go see for himself.]

[That. That sure was loud. He was just out on the ocean to test the teleporter. And then to soak in the ocean breeze. That. That is one giant fish. Thing.

... person?]

[Problem with those journals is they tend to decide to turn themselves on at the drop of a hat. Cue flinching at that scream DX But seriously, all she can see is a bunch of sea water and the occasional flash of pink-- what the hell.]

Hey! Hey! You'll lose your journal!

[Shirahoshi can hear it talking now. TALKING!? And Shirahoshi. Does. Not. Want.]

I... I already told you you're not my type!

[SMACK! She bats it away with her fin. The journal goes flying, its pages fanning out before it splashes back into the water. The journal is a-trollin', so actually there's something of a video feed. A nice, calm underwater scene, panning quickly across the viewer.]

[Welp. He has no idea what the hell that's about, but look up Princess, there's a phoenix coming down the coastline. Luckily she's really big and easy to spot from the air.

He lands on the beach, a safe enough distance from the waves so they won't touch his feet. Because screw ocean water, that's why. He switches back to human and looks up with some concern.]


Are you Neptune's daughter? [OBVIOUSLY a reasonable way to greet someone new, but he's trying to snap her out of it without scaring her.]
runawayhoshi: (eeek!)

[personal profile] runawayhoshi 2012-07-15 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[She breaches again- definitely a person. Until you reach the hips. Definitely a fish. A really big BIG fish, like as tall as a house. She surfaces, flings something into the air with her tail, then turns and dives again.

There's a lot of force in that fin, and when she launched the journal into the air, it displaced a lot of water, too. Now there's a good sized wave heading toward the shore. Right towards Cyborg.]

[... yeah, he's getting soaked. But he's standing solid. Just. Looking much less enthused. Not that he's ever seen a giant mermaid before. It's just one of those things Jump City prepares you for. (And he's dealt with a giant witch before, so this is way more attractive.)]

HEY! Watch who you're splashing out there!

[It's a nice underwater pan across the sea floor, accompanied by the sound of water rushing over the microphone. After a minute, there might be a high-pitched voice, but it's garbled, and indistinct.

Then in an instant, there's a clear shot of part of a fin, the pink veining caught in stark contrast to the ocean blue. There's a loud POP! and the video goes spiraling. It stops in the water, returning to the previous sea-floor programming.]

[Princess Luna was standing on the beach, resting her wings before flying back to the village when she is allowed to play witness to this most amazing sight.]

[It seems the water-dwelling human has mastered the Royal Canterlot Voice! Or rather, she was doing splendidly, but seems a bit winded at this point. The dark-colored alicorn merely stands there blinking unconcernedly, waves lapping at her hooves.]

[Sadly, Shirahoshi isn't taking the time to be aware of her surroundings. It hasn't even fully registered that she's on the surface yet. She's just trying to get away from whatever it is Vander Decken has sent after her this time. It's not sharp, so that's an improvement, but his harassment had begun with a simple love letter.

The thing about having ridiculously large sea-creatures thrashing about on the surface, though, is that they tend to make waves. Good sized ones, too. Marco will probably end up getting his feet wet, if he doesn't move.]

[She'll wait until that poor journal gets sloshed around enough to break the surface again and then yell for all she's worth.]

HEYYY!

[...was that a fin she just saw?]

[He timed that just right. His voice carries just enough to reach her and she stops suddenly, looks around in a panic, then ducks beneath the surface so that only two loops of her hair are sticking up above the waves. After a second, she lifts her head just enough to yell out.]

H- have you come to attack me, Stranger-sama?

[Rin is...

Out here for reasons.

Actually he's out digging a fire pit so he can use it for a beach outing with Shiemi and Yukio later. Or well, he was, until that last wave crashes and floods the hole he was digging floods and the rocks he put in place there go washing out and... his sword which was on the ground next to him starts to get washed out to see.

His.

Sword.

he makes his own loud howl as he dives into the water, clothes (loose fitting, but still) and all to get it]

[A giant wave is heading in Luna's direction, much bigger than the normal ones. The girl still seems to be running from something, but it would probably be hard to tell what.]

[Damn. This is the problem with not being Jozu's size. Sure he's feisty, and having relationships with humans is generally easier, but he wears all these bright colors and sparkles for a reason you know! He switches to hybrid before those waves can break near his feet and jumps up to fly over near her. Carefully, because there's nothing like a near drowning to ruin someone's day.]

Miss. Miss! Shirahoshi??? [He's really not sure it's her. It's probably a giant mermaid from some other world. Why'd even assume she had to be from Fishman Island? Oh well, despite feeling stupider by the second he flaps his wings, expanding them even larger and gives a very loud bird whistle.] OI Pink mermaid! Miss! Can you hear me?
runawayhoshi: (wuzzat?)

[personal profile] runawayhoshi 2012-07-15 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
[During one of Shirahoshi's dives, she turns and glances up to see... A human?

In the water.

Shirahoshi thinks she could be wrong, but she seems to remember something about humans not being able to stay in the water for very long.

Her own less-than-apparent danger forgotten, Shirahoshi speeds toward the human, arms outstretched to catch him and drag him back to safety.

She hasn't quite realized that she's been partially shrunk, so as she draws nearer, a look of surprise will cross her face. She's never seen a human that
big before.]

[He knew he should have stayed higher, but she already couldn't seem to hear him. Damn he feels useless without most of his crew sometimes. It's hard not to think how Namur or most of his brothers could have made this situation a piece of cake. Even Jinbei really.]

[Okay. He can do this. Just a little bit of haki and he'll be dodging all of those as much as he can, flying up and out of the way, back to hovering abover her.]

[Oh. And she's laughing. Well. All right then.]


Hello.

[personal profile] runawayhoshi 2012-07-15 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[With a shriek, Shirahoshi dives underwater again. She totally forgot there was someone else out there. Someone... hovering above the water?

Curious, she pokes her head up out of the waves, which would have been a lot less obvious if she didn't have huge rabbit-ear buns on the top of her head.]


H- hello. Are... Are you a... a bird-sama?
cannoneer: (Head scratcher)

[personal profile] cannoneer 2012-07-15 04:49 am (UTC)(link)

No! Why would I attack you?

Something like that. I'm Marco the Phoenix. This isn't my full bird form though, so don't expect the others to look like me.

Are mermaids usually as big as you in your world or are you related to King Neptune? If you don't mind my asking.
