Hiccup | How To Train Your Dragon

[summing_it_up]

[The mop gets tossed to the side, flipping over the side rail and into the drink as everyone on board the ship frantically rushes to and fro. Hiccup, on the other hand, could have met the same fate as the mop.

He fumbles with the bucket that blocks his line of sight, gasping for air once he takes it off.]

Wait, what– attack?!

[Brow furrowing, he quickly stands, dashing to the side to see that, yes, another ship is attacking. The young viking makes a face.]

Oh, come on!!

Toothless | How To Train Your Dragon

[b2_dragon]

[The dragon remains close by Hiccup, not liking the sudden panic that seems to have taken the ship. He grunts, ducking the bucket that Hiccup flings from his head.

Oh good, his human is done playing. He growls, turning his attention towards the other shape across the way. The things they were throwing their way were making holes in their ship, although not nearly as big as some of the boulders that were ever launched at the dragons when they used to attack Berk.]

Nagisa Hazuki - Free! Iwatobi Swim Club

[movesfast]

1. Hey! Hey!!

[He yells it at the top of his lungs... which isn't as loud as he could usually be. He's a bit dehydrated and definitely hungry. He's kind of banged up, too.

But that's what happens when there's a really bad storm, enough to wreck and ship, and he has to swim for probably a couple hours before finding enough flotsam to crawl onto and ride the rest of it out on. Before tearing off a piece for a makeshift oar and... just rowing until a boat finally appears.

Storms at sea are scary anyway. They're worse when you get separated from your crew. He isn't even sure HOW his journal ended up on the sort of raft with him. He tries to wave his arms as much as he can without upsetting his balance and falling off.]

Hey! I need some help here!!

2. Ne... I don't know.

[Nagisa is basically going through everything in Backwater Brig and is trying very hard not to annoy the shopkeeper... which means he's annoying everyone else in the store with his questions instead.

He's currently holding a sextant.]

What's it do?

[The question isn't directed at anyone in particular... just whoever's close.]

[tomyfriends]

[You would think a pirate would know exactly what the thing was that Nagisa was holding, but it had been invented long after her time and thus - well, they were both just going to be standing there pondering it's existence.]

You're not going to have any luck asking me. I'm just as ignorant as you are.

[Which she does not like admitting. At all.]

[heartnikiraboshi]

A) [he's wandering through town, looking for familiar faces but so far he hasn't seen nothin'. More importantly, he can't feel anythin'. Like the thread has been cut. He tries not to think about it too much]

Tamahome! Miaka! Chichiri! Anyone!

[and then half to himself] Damnit.


B) [he's clinging to the railing, staring suspiciously at the water going by below]

There is too much water here. Waay too much water. [head/railing] I'm not made to stomach this kind of thing.

[emperorofkounan]

[Emperor Hotohori was sitting on the middle of the deck quietly meditating when he hears one of their crewmates and Suzaku Seishi screaming as he was clinging to the railing. There was a soft sigh before he allows one eye to open and glance at what the Seishi of Fire was screaming about.]

You're still scared of a little water?

Sonic ( Sonic the Hedgehog Comics )

[quickster]

Exploring a new island was definitely on his list of top favorite things to do. Besides! Being on that boat for so long would make anyone a little stir crazy; that held especially true for a hedgehog who tended to run out of room to run when on land, much less a small boat.

Sonic hoped off the ship and onto the sandy beach. He stretched his arms wide, "That's more like it. Good ol' solid ground!"

[heartnikiraboshi]

Oh, man, I didn't think I'd see it ever again.

[collapses on hands and knees]

Can't we just...stay here?

Naruto | Ditto

[obstinates]

1

[Bars aren't really his thing. They're usually Tsunade-baachan's territory. Naruto would much rather be at Ichiraku or any ramen stand at all as opposed to some dirty old bar full of stink-ass bearded dudes wearing eyepatches and bandanas. The blond doesn't even get the appeal of bars, especially since alcohol doesn't really do a damn thing to him thanks to Kurama.

But he's here because he needs to gather some info. He assured his captain that he could do it ("Hey, no sweat! Ninjas are made for gatherin' info, y'know! Lemme handle it!) so he couldn't come back empty-handed.

The best thing to do would be to act cool and not let these guys think he's weak, so he shuffles up to the bar and places his order:]

Ramen... [there's a flick of his thumb across the tip of his nose as he smirks and leans against the counter;] ... in a dirty bowl, y'know.

[Yeah. Totally a badass.]

B

[Fairly simple: just a day out on the sea, and it's Naruto's turn for chores on deck. He's currently keeping watch in the crow's nest, swabbing the deck in several places, hanging off the bow of the ship and repainting the mermaid chick up there, moving some barrels, and taking a nap.

It's easy to get everything done when you can make hundreds of perfect clones of yourself.]

[allendsmeat]

[shuffles up beside the blond guy in the bar]

Meat. All you've got.

Luke fon Fabre | Tales of the Abyss

[headfons]

A)

[The replica's on a mission: find and retrieve supplies off of list.

Okay, so that doesn't classify as an actual mission, but he's still going to take it seriously. Food is Supplies are important, after all. The redhead gives the list one final look over, comparing the words to the items in the box set by his feet.]

Is that everything...?

[His brow tenses a moment, before he reaches up and scratches at the side of his face.]

B)

[A new island!

He grins as he hops down onto the sand-covered ground. Stretching, he lets out a sigh. MAN, did it feel great to be off of that ship, or what? Fifteen days is one hell of a long time to be confined to such a small place.]

Alright! [He glances over at the one standing next to him.]

Let's go! [Giving another grin to his fellow crew member, no matter who it is.]

A

[mysterical]

[Tear had offered to go with Luke for this gathering trip. She still didn't think he got the hang of shopping, even after all of this time. At least that was what she'd told herself when he said he'd go and she volunteered to come with him.

She quickly scanned the items and list before looking around the square as well.]

We'll need fruit. I remember overhearing someone talking about scurvy.

Yuri Lowell | Tales of Vesperia

[jailbreaks]

A

[Right, they're on a ship. Going on a mission. Maybe on a mercenary one, maybe finding supplies, but damn if this isn't exactly what they did at home. While on the ship ride, he finds himself at the edge of the ship, resting his arms against the rails. He's not sailing this ship so he may as well enjoy the ride.

He'd almost think that pirates are interchangeable with guilds at this point given how comfortable he is with what they're doing...

Still, feel free to speak with him. Sometimes it's nice to have company.]

B

[Okay, that's an attacking ship? And they're boarding his ship...

...if that isn't a sadistic grin that's on his face right now, who knows what it is, because this just got exciting. Unsheathing his sword, he's going to take care of the people who thought it smart to board the ship he's on and attack it.

Again, this is really familiar having to fight people and monsters on his ship.

Maybe the pirate's life really is for him.]

C

[Obligatory rum option. Let's drink.]

[thatched]

[damn if he doesn't need a drink or six. Have a seven foot tall pompadour'd pirate slide beside the stool next to you and order a beer. He glances at the guy next to him.]

So did you come in with the new wave or are you a native?

Nami | League of Legends

[feetarestrange]

Town Square
[Nami may have literally been a fish out of water, but there was more than one way to move around. Despite an obvious lack of legs, that didn't stop her from wanting to get her bearings straight. Though as well as she could adapt, it didn't change the fact that there was a mermaid on dry land, with a little magic kept her floating just a little bit off ground.

She seemed pretty out of place, not to mention lost.

Dry land kind of blurred together for her, but it didn't stop her.]

Hey, you have a moment?

[She asked, though maybe you're just as surprised that she's there in the first place.]


Day at Sea
[Sitting on the edge of a ship while it was out at sea might've seemed unsafe for most crew members. Not so much when you were a mermaid. Simply letting herself dive into the ocean wouldn't have been unusual for her, but she was content where she was, for the moment.

She was enjoying the view, as well as the feeling of the salty sea air. Though Nami came from the ocean, this one wasn't the one called home.

Still, it was welcome change from all that dry land.]

[thatched]

[He turns at the soft feminine voice. It's not the first 'maid he's seen, nor is it likely to be the last. Though he's concerned as she seems to be somewhat distressed]

Hello, there, sweetheart. [he bows gallantly] Thatch at your service. How can I help?

Hercules Hansen | Pacific Rim

[oldmanstriker]

A

You have got to be bloody kidding me...

[So, there's a guy with his arm in a sling, wandering down to the shipyard, that verse playing over in his head.

This was weird. Ten minutes ago, he was standing in LOCCENT, overseeing an important mission, and now? Shielding his eyes from the sun.]

B

[Because I'm lazy, and someone else did it, obligatory drinking option.]

A

[allendsmeat]

[is walking by, arms folded behind his head and humming absently when he spots him and, idly curious, asks: ]

Get in a fight, old guy?

Robert Mullins | Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates

[theresevilinit]

While nailing a horseshoe to the mast, he noticed things that would bring ill luck.This Brooklyn brigand decided to take matters into his own hands. The rest of this so called crew were sorry excuses for seafarers, for they neglected all the required rituals and protections. If the situation persisted, they would all be cursed. He had to teach them the proper ways of pirating.


"Hey!" He called out. "No whistling! Are ya tryin' to bring a storm?"

"And you!" He called to another shipmate. "You'll bring death to us all, I tells ya! Never cut your hair while at sea!"

He gasped in horror and rushed down the mast.

"Are those flowers?" He had to throw those overboard as soon as possible if they wanted to survive. Flowers were for funerals.

[thatched]

"Calm down, matey." The seven foot and some change pirate lounged against the rail as he watched the little man freak out. "I've cut more hair than mine and nothing bad has happened... that we haven't seen through. Anyway, bad luck or good luck is up to the whims of the sea, isn't it?"

Rapunzel | Tangled

[trappedinatower]

A) How hair can be used in a useful way.

[Rapunzel had been on the ship now for at least a week and she had certainly enjoyed it while she could. She ran around barefoot on the deck, not even stopping to think one could get splinters and she even managed to use her hair to get up towards the crows nest. Using it as a rope in order to do that instead of the usual climbing.

For now however she was helping the crew load some cargo they just brought, using her hair in order to do that.]

Okay, just tell me when to pull and I'll pull.

B) How to make pirate pancakes

[Rapunzel had never actually been in a fight before, so this experience was certainly terrifying. Hiding behind a crate for a moment, gripping tighter around her trusted weapon of choice, the frying pan, she waited till one pirate walked past.

Now was her chance as she tip toed out from behind her hiding place and did what she recalled doing to a certain thief and as she reached close enough, raised the frying pan and slamed it down as hard as she could onto the poor guys head.

With him out like a like, she smiled holding her frying pan in a victory type pose.]

That really wasn't so hard. I think I might be getting the hang of it.

[thatched]

[applause from the seven foot tall pirate standing in the doorway]

Excellent, lass! Don't ever let me get between you and cookware!

Rita Mordio | Tales of Vesperia

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

[Town Square]

... Well. Great. As if my situation back home wasn't annoying enough, now I'm...

... Where the hell is this place, anyhow?!

[Marooned!]

[The tiny island clearly has been inhabited for at least a few days - at least, you can tell that if you're close enough to see several trees that have been sliced down. The cliffs on one side form a small cave, which has the smoldering remnants of a fire outside.

Rita wound up stuck here - alone - a few days ago when her ship got wrecked. Fortunately, lessons Yuri had taught had stuck, and she'd managed to get some supplies onto the liferaft, now pulled onto the shore some distance. She'd prepared a makeshift home, figured out some of the safe foods to eat, and was generally just... Waiting.

Not even a lot to stimulate the mind, yet. That worried her a little. But hey, that was a ship coming, wasn't it? Surely they could help. Quickly, she moved to light a signal...]

[General Day At Sea]

[Rita took over the back of the ship's hold almost as soon as she was aboard... And rarely came out, except to present some new tool she'd put together to someone who could use it.

As you slip in, she's tinkering at something anew.]

... Damn it, these parts aren't good enough. I'll have to figure out a way to machine up something more precise!

[Well, this might be your best chance to bother her.]

[General Day at Sea]

[wanderer_from_ys]

*Adol peers inside the room, curious what their newest crew member was working on.* What does it do?

Kazari | Kamen Rider OOO

[feliduplicity]

[A]

[If there's one thing that could be said about Kazari, it's that he's cautious. (And if there was a second thing it would be that he was more likely to double-cross you than not.) In any case, having found his previous crew to have a little too much firepower among them, he has excused himself to find a different one - by using the ship's nav without permission to go to another ship.

Your ship.

So there is now a light-haired, Japanese looking young man in yellow plaid and jeans striding casually across the deck of your ship with his hands in his pockets.]

[B]

[Or perhaps the nav didn't have any uses available for him, in which case he's stolen a long boat and is now rowing toward the next nearest vessel he sees - which may be several days away. A Greeed doesn't need to eat, so it's merely a matter of boredom to him.

He stands and waves at the sight of another ship, looking happy and grateful to have spotted it.]

A

[gokai_red]

[Click.]

Getting real tired of people doing that.

[Sup Kazari, have an angry Gokaiger pointing his gun at you from across the way.]

Might wanna be careful where you step, also. Dunno what the ninjas loaded the traps with this time.

Estellise Sidos Heurassein l Tales of Vesperia

[astion]

a: Chilling on the ship

[Estelle is merely relaxing on their ship, reading and researching about the different Islands and studying the map. Of course, to her this was fun, she read a lot back home in the castle when there wasn't exactly a lot else to do. But that doesn't mean she will ignore any crew members who have questions or might need help. It may take a bit to get her attention though....]

b: Pirate Battles!

[Estelle draws her sword as soon as she realizes there is to be an unwelcome boarding party. She will do whatever she can to help, or, she intends to, unless one of the crew tell her to stay back. To be ready in the case of one of them being injured. The princess stands back, lips pursed and expression determined, weapon at the ready when the invading party approach.

She's quick, light on her feet, and while her technique perhaps still needs some work it is clear she has had some training. She strikes to injure, but not kill where possible, keeping an eye on her comrades in case they need assistance or healing.]

A

[jailbreaks]

[Seeing Estelle cooped up like this reading about things instead of experiencing it almost sends an obvious message to Yuri that she's used to this. Well, that's a good thing, he guesses, but still it'd be nice if she got up and around.]

It's nice and sunny outside and you're in here reading.

[His tone is light, giving away that he finds this rather typical of her.]

Tomoko Kuroki | Watamote

[justoneword]

A

[Tomoko wakes up in this unfamiliar place. She sits up slowly, blinking.

This looks like the kind of place you can find in a video game.

She gets to her feet and pushes her hair out of her eyes. This place is completely weird. Just how did she get here? She fishes around through her school bag and pulls out a journal. After reading it, her eyes widen considerably.

A whole other world? What am I doing here? How did I get here? Wait...nobody knows me here! I can be a fantastic new Tomoko, really pretty and popular and everyone will love me! Maybe I'll find myself a nice boyfriend and we'll ride off into the sunset together, just like in an anime!

Tomoko is sitting on the edge of the fountain, her hands on her cheeks, blushing lightly.]

B

[Tomoko managed to be accepted to a ship and she's currently hiding in the best place she can find where she'll likely be undisturbed - a utility closet. The door is slightly ajar and she's looking through the crack, watching people whenever they walk by.]

[manlionpig]

[As Tomoko herself looked weird, a true miracle occurred. A small black piglet dragged a kettle over to an open flame and grated camp-grill and set it on top through a little flip it did in the air, close to the fountain. The little piglet, wearing a kicky yellow spotted bandana, tapped its little hoof on the ground impatiently, waiting for the water to boil.]

Wreck-It Ralph | Wreck-It Ralph

[gonnawreckit]

A.

[Find Ralph in the town square! Somehow, he's accidentally wrecked a fruit stand and is having trouble getting someone to accept his apologies. Anyone want to help the sheepish-looking hulk as he shuffles in place?]

B.

[Ah, the open seas. Ralph's not sure why he's suddenly in some kind of pirate adventure game, but so far? It's not too shabby.

And now, on his first day out at sea, he finds himself squinting at the mast and/or the steering wheel.]

So, uh... What are the controls for this thing?

B

[manlionpig]

[Ryoga stood on the middle of the deck with a small gas burner and a kettle, heating up water. Some would question whether he was making lunch or not.

Hey, he had to be ready.]

Controls for what?

Aria T'Loak || Mass Effect

[bioticboss]

A: Be a Hostage.

[Finally you're off your ship. After finding an island, the feel of it beneath your feet is solid and sorely missed, you decide to check it out and leave your crew behind for a little adventure of your own.

But was the feel of a gun against your back missed? Probably not, but it's there. Someone is speaking in a low tone right behind you, the one holding the weapon.]

Don't move.

Now... we can do this the easy way or the very easy way. What'll it be?

B: The Omegans.

[Aria sticks out like a purple alien lady. Which is exactly what she is. You might have already noticed her or she's noticed you. She's been on the prowl for lackeys a crew and after keeping tabs on her journal and doing some old-fashioned scouting she's decided it's time to put who she considers the best, together. And put them on her ship.

That means you.]

You. I need to talk to you.

B

[model_prisoner]

[Cody looks around for a moment, he's not really used to be people coming to him for things. Maybe that lady was right. Taking off the wrists shackles certainly made him look more approachable.

He lets loose with a loud, wide yawn.]

Eh? You need something?

Crow | The Longest Journey

[thatdamnbird]

A

[If you're walking around the square, you might find that someone's suddenly trying to get your attention. Loudly.]

Hey. Hey, you!

[If you look around you, you won't see anyone. So who's talking? Well, to get the answer to that question, you'll have to look up and... huh, that sure is a bird sitting there, staring straight at you.]

What's a bird gotta do to get some attention around here, huh?


B

[Oh, lookie there. A new island. And without a scout to go check it out.

...yeah, Crow's just going to cover his bases ahead of time.]

Just so you know, I am not flying out there to check it out first.

A

[kingkilvas]

[hello small little crow

have a large crow raven in human form lookin' right back up at you, eyebrow raised, a little confused. what do we have here?]

Excuse me?

Makoto Kenzaki | Doki Doki Precure

[knightlyidol]

A

[Makoto... wasn't really sure how she'd gotten here. Last thing she remembered, she'd fallen asleep in her limo and now all of a sudden she was in some sort of town. And she couldn't see anyone she recognized. Not good.

More than a little confused, she sat over at the fountain, trying to figure out what she should do. If only her friends were here...]

B

[So guess who doesn't know, uh... anything about boats? At all? Yeah... It's probably a good thing they haven't set sail yet, because Makoto is standing at the wheel, a completely serious look on her face.]

So this is how you drive a boat... I can handle this. [...] How do I make it go forwards?

A

[diamondlight]

[Guess who tore open her back saving her besties? She hurts, and she's on her last change of bandages, but she's not going to make someone else do the shopping for her own problems. Walking through the plaza, she's glancing around, looking to see if the scars from her battle with Sasuke are still here, and taking in the new ones. There are people here, too; a few she recognizes from past visits, some that clearly live here, one with short purple hair, another- short purple hair? That couldn't be...

It's a haggard Rikka that turns back to the fountain as she passes it. She's dressed in the clothes that were on her back when she got here, which are incidentally the ones she was wearing when she went down to fight Mana and Alice, that day... had it already been three weeks since then? Her hair is dull and it looks like it's been torn away in spots, she's got bags under her eyes... she looks terrible. There's worry plain on her face, but when she finally spots Makoto, it all melts away into relief and surprise and joy and a million little emotions, followed by worry all over again.]

Makoto...? It's you, right?

Kurumi Mimino/Milk | Yes! Precure 5

[cominguproses]

[There is currently one (1) very sad rabbit-looking creature, wandering around the square. She's looking a little sad.]

Coco-sama? Nuts-sama? Karen? [Her voice breaks a little and she pauses for a moment.] ...Nozomi?

[She's not having a lot of luck finding her friends, it seems. She lets out a defeated little sigh and sits down on the ground.]

Where is everyone-miru...

[enemyofallwholive]

[Behold the wandering sorcery genius. New locations weren't anything necessarily strange, but getting tossed into them with no warning was another thing.

Lina was kind of pissy, to be honest.

...

More than usual.

Still, upon seeing the little creature, she does a double take.

Thus, she approaches.]

'Scuse me, but I don't guess you're related to a Prince or anything, are you?

Denzel Crocker | Fairly Oddparents

[crackpotcrocker]

A

[Crocker just appears here. Unfortunately, just 'appearing' somewhere isn't something that hasn't happen to the man before. The first thing the man does is gasp about about how this place is centuries old. At least from when he's from.]

Huh? WHERE AM I?! Or when am I? This place looks as if time traveled back to the 16th century.

[Either that or he's in Moby Dick.]

This most be the work of Timmy Turner and his - FAIRY GODPARENTS!

[Leave it to Turner to drag Crocker into the history lessson.]

[The man has a body twitch in his clothes which needless to say, look to spic and span for the time period.]

D

[Denzel is in his an isolated part of the ship trying to make a radio out of coconuts.]

"A" for "AHHHH CRAP." Or something.

[worstresults]

[Okay, so, this situation is pretty terrible. He can't find Wanda or Timmy.

Oh, man.

This is all very bad. No. It's terrible. What's he supposed to do?

This fairy is not even paying attention to where he's going. Or what he's doing.




...Maybe he should have because he just ran into the worst possible person for him to ever run into.

Well, in literal terms, he just flew into the worst possible person that....

Okay, so, the point's been made.

So, while Cosmo stares, wide-eyed at....Oh, look, it's sinking in!]

A-...

[CRAP, WHAT DOES HE DO? WHAT WOULD WANDA TELL HIM TO DO...?

Well, fleeing seems like the best idea, at the moment. So, that's what he's doing. In the form of flying away. As quickly as possible.]

Kuno Kodachi ♥ Ranma 1/2

[cherrybombpie]

[There was nothing but ocean as far as the eye could see, except for that black spot that was bobbing up and down to the rhythm of the waves.]

[Upon closer inspection, that black spot would be revealed to be a young girl lying down on the back of a large turtle, which was keeping her afloat. She was wearing a voluminous black dress and a veil, both of which were soaked and tattered.]

[Upon even closer inspection, one could note that she was talking to the turtle, though her eyes were closed and she looked pale and waterlogged.]

Oh, you're such a good pet, yes, you are, Mr. Blue Alligator. Please don't let me drown. ♥

[hiken]

[Leaning over the railing of his ship, Ace glanced down at the floating turtle, which seemed to be looking off into the distance with a measure of intense, deep and age-weathered knowledge.

That, or it was just a turtle with a chick on its back.]

...Ah? That's a tasty looking turtle.

[The turtle didn't seem to respond. Then, Ace noticed Kodachi--]

Hey, there's a girl, too.

Kid Katydid | Bug Pond

[katydids]

[The small green bug stands on the wharf, staring up in awe at the massive wooden vessels currently docked. Occasionally she'll skitter to one side or the other in some attempt to avoid being stepped on by the sailors walking down the dock.]

...I'm going to need a smaller boat.

[allendsmeat]

[hey look! a bug! He crouches down and reaches out a hand to poke]

usopp | one piece

[nosenobounds]

[ town square. Usopp is a wise and experienced man of the sea. Exciting places, new faces, the- the musk of the unknown? Please. This is everyday stuff for him. Well, weekly stuff, at least. Sometimes longer depending on how much space is between islands.

He kind of hates surprises, though. Waking up in a mysterious new place with a poem in his head??? That's rude as hell. His highest instinct is to panic and be genuinely offended. ]

Like I wasn't in the middle of doing something!!

[ enemy attack. AKA Usopp's that guy running in circles and shrieking even though the enemy's actually pretty far away, and approaching slowly, leaving plenty of time to prepare for boarding.

Don't worry. First dent in the side of the ship and he'll swap out for being angry from behind the nearest wall of muscle. BUNCH OF SHIP-MESSING PUNKS. LOAD OF JERKS.

...where do they keep the cannon on this thing anyway? ]

[ LAND HO. Well, there seem to be no signs of immense danger on the shore there, and he saw a really interesting beetle headed that way and all. Plus, look: those are some really swell little tarantulas!

Usopp is on board! For getting off board! Pirates and adventures being things that go hand in hand, and all. And judging by the look on his face, storytime may just be inevitably forthcoming. Ahh indeed, this reminds him of an island he discovered long ago... ]

town square

[allendsmeat]

[people really didn't like iou rocks around here. Have a running Luffy with a trail of sausages hanging out of his mouth with a cast of raging townspeople bearing pitchforks behind him]

Date Masamune | Sengoku Basara

[oushuuhittou]

[Masamune woke up to the sound of crashing waves and the cries of the seagulls. Those things meant he wasn't anywhere near home.

And to make it better, there was no horse, no Kojuro, no army around.

Okay. He would have to explore and discover where he was and how to get back home. The sooner the better, because Sanada Yukimura was waiting him for a date sparring match.]

All right. Let's see what this place is about.

[seadevil]

One-Eyed Dragon! One-Eyed Dragon!

[A familiar parrot swoops low over Masamune's head and perches on a nearby piece of driftwood. Its master isn't too far behind.]

And what have you found, Pi-chan?

[The parrot helpfully supplies another "One-Eyed Dragon," because, well, Motochika can be a little slow on the uptake sometimes.]

Well, as I live and breathe, I do believe you're right. Ahoy there, One-Eyed Dragon!

[Motochika looms over Masamune, smiling brightly and holding out a hand to pull him up if he wishes the help.]

It seems you've picked the right island to wash up on.
