Tamaki Suoh | Ouran High School Host Club

[princelycharm]

[Everyone is hustling on deck. Apparently they've spotted an enemy ship. What was Tamaki supposed to do again? This was so different from all the role playing parties they did for their school's princesses. But no matter what the situation, Tamaki was ready to play his most beautiful and princely part.

So there he was, standing on the main boom. His left arm elegantly stretched with his hand holding on to the rope. His other hand carrying a glistening jeweled rapier, that they took from their last raid. On his neck were a few sparkling necklaces. Nothing but a sash over his pale body and brightly colored pants. He pointed his rapier towards the enemy ship with an intense facial expression.]

Attack~! [He screamed dramatically.]

omg ♥

[totheright]

((This is a scared Kaoru. This is a scared and kind of irate Kaoru.)) Idiot milord, did you really stop to change when we're being attacked?! ((He protests, tugging at his arm.)) Stop posing and help!

KAORU! Where is hikaru??? <.<?

[princelycharm]

[Does it really surprise Kaoru that Tamaki would do something so excessive? He tried his best to balance himself even with Kaoru tugging on his flawless arms.] Yes! If today be our death, I shall forsake my life beautifully~! [He gives Kaoru another dramatic pose]

somewhere that is not here. >.< much to kaoru's anger.

[totheright]

No one is forsaking their life, milord! ((If Tamaki is going to ignore him, well, he's just going to have to pull harder.)) Especially not you.

Aww, I know two people. Though one is too busy, the other has a muse in highseas already

[princelycharm]

[He looks into the horizon, his purple eyes sparkling. He tries his best to keep his footing.] I know you will miss me, but I have to defend everyone from the enemy~!!!

((ooc: I can't even type this with a straight face XD))

[hostclubshadowking]

Get down, you idiot!

[Kyouya has long abandoned the Ouran uniform, taken not to what might serve as Host Club cosplay -- though, really, he never expected anything else of Tamaki -- but practical clothing of a bygone era.

Even as he said it, he grabbed Tamaki's wrist hold the sword and pulled down and back. He'd seen the flash... and a few seconds later the sound of the opposing ship's guns rang out. Seconds after, roundshot slammed the hull of the ship, spraying inches -- even foot -- long splinters.

A broadside answered back, shaking the ship with the force it released.]

This isn't a game.

[...Which is his way of saying that you're worrying him, Tamaki.]

all the pouting

[princelycharm]

[This is Tamaki. This is something he'd never give up. Maybe it was some sort of coping mechanism for him, but Tamaki will never give up his flamboyant style.

When Tamaki saw the first shot fired towards them, and Kyouya's hand was on his wrist, he immediately jumped towards Kyouya, as if trying to protect him. He'd often talk about the splendor of dying as a pirate, but he did not want any of his loved ones to die upon the open sea...specially not his best friend. ]

I know that. What are you doing out on deck?

premature graying, that's what's being caused

[hostclubshadowking]

Apparently keeping you from getting yourself killed.

[It would take a few minutes for both sides to reload. And to come around for another good shot at one another. Kyouya tried to think, tried to recall anything he'd learned about tactics in the very, very short time he'd been here, but... nothing came under this stress.

Problems he couldn't talk his way out of were still very rare, very foreign for him.]

There were at least eight muzzle flashes. [Eight guns a side. They had six a side.] Probably a better trained crew at the cannons and at fighting, too.

[Fleeing was not a bad option. If they could get enough speed...]

NOOOOO, that won't look good... right?

[princelycharm]

Mommy...[Tamaki did not understand this sentiment from Kyouya.]..was worried?

[Kyouya was always the best in tactics. No matter how good Tamaki worded everything and pretended to be the brains of the operation, in the end, it was always Kyouya's thoughts which he always consulted in any decision.]

We're outgunned. [He nodded.] So the crew must do their best to win this fight! [He gives Kyouya a winning smile] I shall do my best~!

[tantiny]

[ He's just going to stand on deck of that "enemy" ship and and be completely unimpressed. ]

I wouldn't do that if I were you...

[princelycharm]

[He looks back at the young lad, his purple eyes trying to examine him. He grants a short confident smile.]

Why not?

[tantiny]

Because your rope is too long, more than likely if you were to use it swing across you'd just smack into the railing. And I think that would be pretty painful, no?

[princelycharm]

[Tamaki glances at his rope. Sure he's smart, but he was never the calculating type. Unless it had something to do with his Inner Mind Theatre.]

Would it be better if I made it shorter...~!? [He doesn't want to scar his beautiful face.]

[melodyssong]

[Musa wonders if this guy is for real because seriously was the outfit actually necessary. Then again considering the fairy forms she has had over time, she shouldn't really be questioning that. So while everyone was getting ready for said attack, Musa was already prepared in her fairy form, ready for anything and looking rather unimpressed.

Are you for real?

[princelycharm]

[He doesn't recognize the voice, but he knows it certainly came from a girl. So immediately he twirled with the most charming smile on his face.]

Am I too dreamy, Princess? [He said confidently when he noticed that the girl who spoke was a....fairy...!!!]

[melodyssong]

[It's official. He really is for real. Which probably means he has no idea of what might just occur. He seems the type that can't fight to save his life. Best to get him to safety.]

I wouldn't stand there if I was you. Unless you want a cannonball flying right at you, then be my guest.

[She is at least concerned over the poor possibly clueless guy.]

I'm sorry for the format mistakes in that last post >.<

[princelycharm]

[Happily, he does not admire violence. But one thing is for certain, Tamaki is someone who will fight to the death, if only to save his loved ones. He thinks it is his duty as a 'Prince']

I'm sure they will not aim at my beautiful face, princess....

..are you a fairy princess?

[grizzly_tea]

Tamaki Suoh!

[There was the nagging of a voice that was likely becoming all too familiar to the 'king' of the Ouran Host club. Maribelle, captain of the Shepherds, and Kyouya's newest employer.]

Young man, I would like to know which of my feather brained ninnies said you could take those out of my quarters so you could play pirate! Those treasures may not only be stolen goods, but they are practically just screaming to the enemy ship 'ROB ME!' in giant bold letters!

[Ever the practical young woman, Maribelle has now made her way to where Tamaki was perched at the front of the ship and is poking his slightly exposed chest rather roughly to emphasize her point.]

Not only that, but you are recklessly charging into battle without orders, without permission, and without enough clothes! It's hard enough to keep people patched up when they're wearing armor, but you're a good as a sitting target in that!

[princelycharm]

[That voice was familiar, and it did not help that his whole name was being called out on deck. He slowly turned his head with a somewhat less confident facial expression.]

Princess... I mean, Captain~!<3

[He said charmingly. But in the short time he's been on the ship, the Captain seemed immune to his elegant charm.]

It looks quite ravishing on me~!

[As she drew closer, he gave her an even brighter smile.]

They're attacking us Captain~! And I think I look the part of a handsome and heroic pirate~!!!

[grizzly_tea]

[It was a valiant attempt to try to dazzle Maribelle with his host club charm... unfortunately she was rather immune to such things.]

Might I emphasize that we are not pirates! We are an elite force of fighters for Justice! We do not steal, we do not pillage, and we do not dress up in shiny baubles just to look the part of a dashing hero! Do you even know how to use that gaudy weapon you pilfered, or were you just trying to impress the young maidens aboard this ship?!

[Yes there were quite a few young women aboard this ship, and Maribelle was quite protective of their purity around some of the more flirtatious members of her crew.]

Now get down from there! The last thing we need is someone charging recklessly onto the enemy ship with no regard for their own safety! If you want to yell so badly and attract attention, perhaps I shall stick you up in the crows nest to shout out enemy positions for us. And for the last time Tamaki, do not call me Princess. If you wish to call me anything of that sort you shall address me as Lady Maribelle! Understood?!

Don't hate me Tamaki

[kurloz_makara]

[Little did Tamaki realize that someone had taken the opportunity to sneak underneath the ship as he readied himself for his sparkling moment.]

[It had taken Kurloz awhile to learn how to swim, or for that matter to even enter the ocean, but if he was to get back home and back to his duties he needed to gather these crystals and defeat any enemies that got in their way. So he did learn, and in fact he became pretty fucking good at it.]

[Forever the natural predator he moved under the ocean silently, stripping off his usual outfit and just leaving the purple shorts on for ease. He grabbed onto the side of the ship and as silently as possible he climbed up the wood, nails digging in and remembering what his jungle cat had taught him.]

[His goal was to take out the captain, and with how Tamaki had shouted the orders to attack, he of course assumed that this was the captain of the ship. He lowered his eyes, paint running thanks to the water and his hair a black mop on his head, making him look even scarier then before. His looks would work to his advantage as he climbed onto the deck and up to the boom, nails gashing the wood in his haste and as he pounced to grab the blonde. He then quickly made his escape, picking Tamaki up and tearing him away from whatever he was holding before jumping straight back into the ocean. ]

[And as they fell he gave the V for Victory to the remaining crew members.]

NOOOOOOOO he's a prince~!! Must not get wet

[princelycharm]

[There was Tamaki, standing on the main boom. Tamaki was elegant, beautiful, and quite dashing in his clothes. His purple eyes reflected the beautiful skies. All this with no effort.

And yet, clearly his focus was on the other ship. Suddenly out of nowhere, he saw this dark shadow creep up on him. He struggled to keep his hand on the rope, but the man was too strong.

Instantly, he found himself floating over the ocean, the man's arms around his waist, and his beautiful hair soaking wet.]

Who are you~!?

You know Kurloz is a Prince too...PRINCE BATTLE IN THE WATER!

[kurloz_makara]

[He came up for air, keeping a good hold on his new hostage and ignoring him at the same time. Even if he wanted to answer he couldn't, so he just kept swimming.]

[Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming.]

[Until he was a safe distance from the ship, and starting to get closer to his own.]

[Finally he turned to his soaked hostage, hair still in his eyes and make up running terribly from the water. Then he smiled, as if asking how the blonde was doing?]

[callhimsenpai]

[So. Over on this 'enemy ship'...

Honey is staring confused as his crew suddenly rushes into action, blinking a couple of times. Wait, what's happening? Stepping on the deck from below, his eyes widen at the other ship.]

Huh?

[That one guy looks just like-...

His eyes widen and his face immediately lights up.]

Tama-chaaaaan!!! Heeeey, Tama-chan!!! Over here!!!

[He's jumping up and down, waving as an attempt to get the younger blond's attention. After a couple of seconds, though, he decides to say 'forget long distance communication' and runs to climb up one of the shrouds. After carefully ensuring his grip on Usa-chan is firm, untying one of the ropes, and making sure Tamaki's ship is close enough...

... He's totally swinging onto the other ship--SORRY, GUYS, IT WAS FUN, BUT TAMA-CHAN.

Landing lightly on his feet, wastes no time in promptly attaching himself to his friends waist.]

Tama-chan, I'm so glad you're alright!

[princelycharm]

[The host club king was so busy trying to keep his pose when he noticed someone was rocking the enemies both. It was a petite blonde boy jumping up and down whist waving his hand. If it weren't for the clothes, the boy was very familiar.

He watched the boy carefully, and noticed he was holding on to a pink stuffed bunny.] No... It can't be...~!

[There was that familiar rope climbing and swinging too. It was definitely his class Senior. It was Mitsukuni. Suddenly the widest smile emerged on Tamaki's face.] Honeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey~!

[Whilst shouting, he jumped off the boom and made his way closer to Honey's expected landing area. And there, he waited for him and instantly twirled him in his arms.] I'm glad you're alright too~!!
