The Amazing Adventures of the Freak & Creep Association - Chapter #0001

[Shadowing]

OOC: sure XD.....my treasure is gone :'(. XD. Anyways, let's first have some nice sightseeing trip in there before we do anything.

Seishin, not having expected anything else out of Lauren, walked straight past Salkut towards the crow's nest again.

''In that case I'd better sleep up...saving the ship twice consumes a lot of energy...''

It was relatively calm for the rest of the day. Mantis and Deo had a long training session, to ensure that Deo can swing his guitar fast enough to block most of the attacks. Denim had accompanied Lauren to taste some of her new desserts. Salkut, interested in finding out what had happened below the deck, had accidently ran into Jerko's pet. After some hysterical screaming and running, he had managed to calm down. Night took over eventually, with nothing out of ordinary happening as of rest of the day.

OOC: By the way, should I make a new topic for the Loguetown business, or will we keep things in this one? :o

[Shadowing]

OOC: seeing this as a finished chapter...it might be good to make a new one, but then again...it might get a bit stuffed if there are going to be a lot of chapters...better ask Sol, the mod for this section...

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

OOC: Meh, let's keep it on this then. :X

A small marine scout ship noticed the travelling pirate ship early in the morning. Denim had been having trouble sleeping, so he was the only one awake. He made the ship disappear, causing a whole lot of confusion among the marines, who had been loading their cannons.

Salkut woke up just about the time the marines had figured that they were seeing things. A flock of seagulls was about to fly over them, so he started catching them with his tongue, chewing on them just as that. Few remaining seagulls managed to get away, much to his annoyance. Just then he realized that Loguetown was already in their view. Apparently he had got messed up in his calculations. Didn't matter. Just gave them more time to have a little stroll in the city before getting down to business. He jumped up, hanging from the crow's next as usual, before shouting from the top of his lungs: "Riiiiiise and shine!!"

The marines further away turned to look at the direction of the shouting. Nothing was there. Some of them were beginning to get convinced that they should all go see a doctor.

Seishin however, didn't wake up at all. He was still sleeping with a big grin on his face. He was dreaming of the treasure he'd gain in Loguetown.

OOC: Seishin will wake up later, so he won't go into town with the rest of the crew... XD

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

Rest of the crew gathered to the deck as the ship reached the coastline. They had anchored far away from the actual town. Salkut smiled a few times as people started heading for the town, seperated as usually. He thought that Seishin had ran off before the others. After all, he was a spontaneously appearing man. Spontaneously appearing man... S.A.M. Sam! He grinned to himself as he had come up with a lame nickname. Before leaving the ship, he informed Jerko over the fact that it'd be his turn to guard the ship today. Jerko answered with a short silence, followed by a slow, yet accepting nod.

Loguetown was full of activity today. As Smoker had left his outpost on his pursuit of personal agenda (OOC: Worst sentence ever... ><), a new marine captain had been assigned to guard the area. Not much was known of him. According to the citizen, he spent his time hiding in the marine's headquarter building, not showing his face to the general public unless it was absolutely necessary. Some believe his name to be Jokamie, some call it Jomakie. Nobody was quite sure.

His right hand man, sergeant petty-officer Sanas had become alot more popular among the townsfolk. A large, well-built man, who had a big polearm-like weapon hanging from his belt, scratching the ground behind him as he walked. He was well known of his habit to march into the dock and compliment random people on their choices of attire.

[Shadowing]

Seishin, awakening from his nap, noticed that the ship was already anchored and that the entire crew had already gone into town.

After looking around a bit and adjusting his eyes to the bright sun, Seishin leapt down from the crow's nest to the deck. At the sound of feet bumping at the deck, Jerko hurried up the stairs to see what was happening.
Seishin, glad to see he wasn't the only one left on the ship, turned to Jerko.

''G'morning Jerko, how long's it been since everyone left? And more importantly, why are you still here? Shouldn't you have gone with the rest? Surely the ship can manage it's own...''

Having that said, Seishin started to stretch his cold muscles in order to prepare for a nice little walk through Loguetown.
I should first gather some information on the marines in here, and perhaps there are some other pirate crews lingering around here...I'd better keep my eyes and ears open....

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

Jerko appared to be somewhat dumbfounded as usual. He had already got somewhat used to the habit that people would just let him know that it was his turn to guard the ship. There was no turn-based system at all. He was left behind every time. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke up: "Um. The others are... Gone to Loguetown." He pointed at Loguetown, although it was easily visible since there was plenty of smoke coming out of the houses there (as in, chimneys...). "I'm, uh, told to guard the ship... In case of an attack... Or marines."

Salkut roamed through the streets, presenting people with threatening glares as they laid their eyes on him. Obviously there shouldn't be too much hassle today. He didn't have a bounty on him. They didn't know he was a pirate. Same should apply for the rest of the crew. He wasn't aware of the bounty on Seishin's head, though. He was also rather convinced that the others would be able to find a log pose, which they would need in the Grand Line. First thing he'd do is to find something to eat. A rather welcoming restaurant appeared next to him. Pleasant smell came out of it. Nothing like what he'd have to eat aboard the ship. He charged in, despite being flat broke as usual.

[Shadowing]

Seishin patted Jerko on the head and hauled him over to the shore.
''Listen, big guy, you're not going to stay behind and miss all the fun. You wouldn't like that, now would you? So, how about we go and have a drink, I still have the pure money side of the Gallop pirates' treasure. I'm pretty sure the ship can manage to sail away and come back later in case of an attack and marines won't be searching this far out of town, while they can have a good time IN town. That's just human psychology.
(OOC: I'm sure I spelled this wrong...)

[Deathtanz Mantisk]

Jerko followed Seishin, not getting too far from him. He didn't go to any places with lots of people that often. If he'd just keep close to Seishin, he'd be fine.

--------------------------------

Pot full of cookies. A grumpy bartender. And Salkut. Deja vu. Salkut stormed out of the restaurant, carrying the pot with cookies. A few angry looking waiters tried chasing after him, but gave up eventually. Fortunately, no marines were around. Causing a ruckus now was not what he had in mind.

While continuing his walk around the town - somewhat lost - Salkut found himself at the dock. He stared away at the ships present, eating the cookies while at it. Loud scratching noise approached him. He turned around to see someone's abdomen. He looked up. A tall man, with a weird mustache, that looked like two black sausages attached to one another, loosely hanging all the way to his shoulders. Salkut almost bursted laughing, but managed to hold himself together. The big man looked him up and down, until nodding. He spoke up, in a very masculine, deep voice: "Interesting choice of clothing, if I may say so. The way you have chosen to keep this jacket on is extraordinary! Oh! Suits you, sir!" (OOC: Try to google that last part or something... xD) Salkut looked puzzled. He looked at the big man's attire, which consisted of a set of baggy brown pants, accompanied by a white shirt with a mantle hanging from his shoulders. He had an oddly bright and colorful tie hanging from his left arm. Salkut nodded a few times, grabbed another cookie from his pot, then spoke up, spitting cookie droppings at the man's chest while doing so: "Yeaaaah. Nice set of rags you got going on, tooooo. Although I'm pretty sure that that one thing is supposed to be tied around the neck... Err... Who are you?" Salkut tilted his head a bit, which the big man did as well.

Silence followed. Then the man looked as if he had woke up from coma or something, blinking his eyes a few times. He spoke up once again: "Yes, I do agree. I am Sanas! Sergeant. Petty officer. A marine. Oh! Suits you, sir!" Suddenly he turned around, heading for another person walking among the docks. Salkut looked even more puzzled. Scratching noise continued again. Salkut scratched at the pot for a moment, realizing that he had run out of cookies. He turned back to the town center, heading to find another restaurant, while eating the pot itself.
