Serious: The Milky Way Pirates Chapter 1: adventure in Windmill Village ((THREAD CLOSED TO EVERYONE EXCEPT MASQUERADE))

Grudge tapped his foot impatiently as he waited for other to notice him, and in a mix of frustration and embaressment where they did not recognise such a musical genius, he bellowed out at them; "Hey pirates! I need a ride to the next island, mind if I crash with you guy's for a bit? After all, you probably want a celebrity aboard your ship for some awesome rock right?"He hthen smugly waited for an answer, fully expecting that they would gape in awe of his brilliance, and beg him to come aboard.

Arianne blinked, surprised at the stranger's sudden forwardness, but remembering her manners, she formally bowed her head and said quietly: "I don't think the Captain would mind...but you'll have to ask her directly as my friends here plan to." She gestured to Avery and Lawrence. "You may come with us to speak with her, if you wish, Mr-?"

adamand walked to the deck and looked a little bit frustrated.''rock?serious?the music brutes keep gathering...''he said at a annoyed tone.''could you all please board so we can set sail?''.adamand wanted to walk away but once again fell.he quickly sood up like nothing happaned and started to sit against the mast.

Avery stomach growled and he smiled. “Heh, yeah, they better not have served anything yet,” he said. “I didn’t even have breakfast this morning…”

He would still need to go and get his tools and his boat, but he figured that that could wait for a couple of minutes. He heard the words Adamand spoke and he glanced up at the ship, frowning. Maybe it couldn't wait a couple of minutes.

"Actually I still need to get some of my stuff," Avery said to no one in particular. "Be right back."

He jogged away with Lawrence following after him at an easy lope.

(Lost, if you want to do a time skip or go to the next thread soon, then go ahead. Avery's just getting his stuff and his boat and bringing them along. I don't have to write it all out.)

Saki was tackled when Snow came back and jumped on top of her, putting some book on her chest and licking her cheeks.
"Easy Snow, what is this..." she said as she took the book and a note fell from inside the book. Saki took the note and read it, it said: "Gone to get new crew member. Will be back in ten minutes. Please pardon my lateness."
"Ah, Arianne will be back later than expected...well..." Saki said as she gently put Snow down on the ground and stood up. "Well, let's prepare everything I guess..." she said as she went to her room and took out her fighting mittens, putting them on.
Then Saki went back to the kitchen, not finding Adamand there she went outside and found him, he tripped and was talking to Arianne, Avery and some fishguy that she hadn't seen before. Then Avery said something she couldn't hear and left.
"What's going on here?" she asked Adamand.

''there is just a music brute that wants to join...''he said a little bit contained as he tried to not look mad in front of saki."but why the fighting gloves?''he asked curious.

near the dog some pirates attacked a man.9 of the 10 where already dead.''p-p-please dont kill me!''said the last survivor.''no''said the man cold.he lifted his arm and said.''10.000 volt thunder spear.''.thunder came from his hand and shot right threw the whole dock.avery was close to being hit as the thunder flew right pas her,the thunder was contained so it did not let heat out.the last pirate fell dead to the ground,and the man walked toward avery.''sorry,it seems i almost hit you.''he said bowing his head with a little grin.

adamand would reconize that face anywhere.''cast?"he said surprised.the man named cast looked up and smiled toward adamand.''sun of a gun it is you!''he said laughing.''but what are you doing on a pirate ship,i tought you where a marine''said the man named cast.''long story...long story''answered adamand back.

Saki looked at her fighting mittens and smiled at Adamand. "This are my 'weapons'" she simply said and looked at the man that wanted to join, she smiled and nodded "If you want to join, you're in" she told him and then turned to look at Adamand, she saw a lighting that almost hit Avery and then this man that was named Cast... he was talking to Adamand and she couldn't help but feel left out and confused on who this man was.
"Um, excuse me from interrupting your conversation but Adamand who's this man?" she asked trying to be polite.

''oh it is only my brother''said adamand with a smile.''cast D. mountain,nice to meet you.''said cast while jumping on the ship and reaching out his hand to saki.''but cast,what are you doing here?''.''oh you know...something.''said cast.''like always''said adamand laughing.''saki where are you going?''asked adamand out of the blue.

Arianne's eyes widened when a bolt of lightning almost hit Avery and Lawrence and she quickly drew her Scarred Sabre, her eyes narrowing at the stranger.
She cooled down slightly upon hearing the man apologize, seeing that Avery was alright and tucked her sabre away once more once Adamand name the man as his brother. She bowed briefly to Cast before saying softly and politely to Saki, taking her book back.

"I apologize once again for my tardiness, but I have some good news. Avery and Lawrence wish to travel with us to our next port of call...hopefully by then he might be persuaded to stay with us as a crewmate..."

She stepped back and bowed formally to Saki again, before heading across the deck and down into the galley with her book in hand.
Arianne flicked her hair out of her eyes as she opened the book, an uncontrollable smile slowly breaking out across her face.

Snow was unfased by the lighting bolt. having been alone for awhile lighting was not his issue, or the thing he feared the most. The only thing he did fear was Water, getting wet was something he despised, and the only thing he could relate to cats. Snow walked over to Saki, and rubbed his snout beside her. This was a sign of affection for snow, something he usually only shows to his captain. Snow was hearing the conversation. between her and the Adamand and his brother.

"Was hat lightning? I knew it was gonna rain." Genshi said, putting the extra food away into the refrigerator. After cleaning the dishes as quickly and cleanly as he could, he ran outside, swords in hand in case of an enemy.

"What's going on? Is there rain? Or is someone attacking?" he asked, not even taking a breath.

Hmm, there were more people aboard then before... Did some new people come aboard while he was cleaning?

Saki smiled at Arianne, and patted Snow's head, she loved Snow even if she had met the white wolf today.
"Nice to meet you too Cast, I'm Saki Star" she said shaking hands with him. "I see you have the power of a devil fruit, am I right?" she asked him as she saw genshi coming out of the kitchen and asked if everything was alright "Everything's ok Genshi" she told him with a smile.

''yes indeed.''said cast with a little grin.''and if i am right you have also one''
he said with an even bigger smile.''uhmm..cast how would you know that?''.[color=red]''tuition.''color]said cast dry.''you still havent answered my question saki..chan,if i may call you that.''.asked adamand shy

"Then I assume these are the new crew mates? If so, My name is Genshi, I'll be your cook as of today. If you're not our crew mates... I'm still Genshi and I will not be your cook as of today." he said with a smile, putting his swords in their respective sheaths.

as good as it was having new crew mates join, Genshi was still really eager to start the adventure he's been day dreaming about all day.

Arianne raised her eyebrows when Genshi came running out with his swords bared and but returned to her usual composure when Saki reassured him. She tilted her head, lightly tapping his shoulder . "So the cook of the ship, right?" she asked a little bashfully. "Might I ask, is there any food left in the kitchen or have I missed dinner?"

“It’s no problem,” Avery said, but Cast had already walked away. Avery shrugged and kept right on going.

It didn’t take him long to reach his vessel, though calling it a ship as he had done before might have been a little to generous. It was actually a simple rowboat. There were just two oars and no sail. Yep, Avery would be glad when he no longer needed to run simply on elbow grease.

“Come on ya lazy mutt,” Avery said affectionately to his dog. “Let’s get to rowing!” Then he noticed Lawrence standing about ten feet back. “Hey, aren’t you coming with me?” Avery called.

Lawrence barked in reply and then started to run back the way they had come before returning to his previous spot. Avery smiled.

“Heh, so you wanna race? You’re on!”

That hadn’t actually been Lawrence’s intention, but he didn’t particularly mind. With a joyful bark he took off in the direction of the Andromeda.

“Hey! Cheater!” Avery shouted after him. “I’m not even in my boat yet!”

Muttering under his breath Avery hopped in his boat and began rowing as quickly as he could. Though Avery was strong and could row with the best, his small boat was still no match for Lawrence’s speed. The dog seemed to realize this and he slowed down enough to make it seem like Avery had a chance, though of course he had no intention of losing.

"Theres' plenty of meat and juice in the refrigerator. I just put it there a moment ago so it might still be warm. Also, I don't think I've gotten your name yet" he said,

Genshi was prepared for this, he always makes more then enough food for many situations like this one.

"That goes for you too, Cast, was it?" he said, talking to the other man.

"Yes I am a devil fruit user, and no Adamand, I'm not going anywhere, I just like to have my fighting mittens with me" she told them both with a gentle smile. "I have the goro goro no mi, I think that's your devil fruit as well, am I right?" she asked Cast, she was interested in him.

Arianne bowed her head politely to Genshi. "My name is Arianne Greyson, Mr Genshi...I overhead you telling that other man. Thank you for letting me know about the extra food. I'm glad to be on a crew with a resourceful cook."
She headed down the steps into the galley, took out some assorted meat from the refrigerator and sat down to eat. Arianne continued to pore over her book, flicking to the section on the Goro Goro no Mi.

Avery sped through the waves in his small rowboat. Houses whipped past him, but he did not turn to look. He was completely focused on the task at hand. Even if he had little to no chance of beating Lawrence, he wanted to at least put in his best efforts.

After a few minutes Avery glanced up at the dock to check on his progress. To his great surprise, Lawrence had disappeared. Avery couldn’t believe his eyes so he scanned up and down the dock, but Lawrence was nowhere in sight. Had he actually gotten ahead of his dog? Then Avery spotted the Andromeda just up ahead. He grinned as he slowed and came to a stop by the ship.

“It looks like this is my win!” he said triumphantly. An all too familiar bark came from somewhere above Avery and he groaned. “Don’t tell me…” He risked a glance up at the Andromeda. Yep. There was his dopey dog, lying with his paws hanging over the edge of the ship, looking down at his master. Lawrence was panting slightly and, because of that, his mouth was open and his tongue was hanging out in what appeared to be an almost taunting expression. “Rub it in, why don’t ya?” Avery muttered.

The young cyborg picked up a bag at his feet and slung it over his shoulder. It made a clinking sound like metal on metal as he was doing this. Then Avery stood and jumped, using his mechanical leg to launch himself higher than normal. He grabbed the edge of the ship with his free hand and hauled himself up onto the deck.

“I’m back!” he called out to any who might hear him. “Or, well, actually, I’m here I suppose. Never actually got on the ship before.”

''indeed.(to both genshi and saki.)but it is a coincidence that we have the same fruit.''

.cast then walked toward adamand and grabbed him by the neck,and lifted him up.''it seems you are still weak..HA what a joke.''said cast looking up to his brother.he then started electrocuting adamand.after a few seconds of electrocuting adamand he threw him trough the just patched wal.



''you have not changed either''.said adamand after crashing trough the wall.he was standing really unstable and it looked like he was about to fall.

both grinned at a stupid way as this was their way of greeting eachother since they where childs.''i am not really a fighter now cast''.''i figured.''said cast in a dry way.but after 1 min of silence they both started to laugh.

Grudge was suprised that their captain would let someone they hardly met join so quickly, though as Grudge boarded the ship, he was still mulling over the idea of actually joining them. Hmmm, should a star like me join a group pirates who he hardly knows? afterall all I wanted was a ride to the next island. Eh, suppose I could tag along with these guy's, after all, all stars grow weary of constant gigs. After the fishman finished his thoughts, he decided to stick with the pirates for a while, besides, what was the first that could happen? "Alright my new roadies and groupies! You now have none other than the rock legend Grudge Blakheart himself aboard, so it's gonna be rock and roll, twenty four seven! Here's a freebie for ya!" The fishman then started playing a familiar song and started singing whole heartedly to it.

adamands smile dissapeared quickly and now he charged toward grudge(or whatever his name is).''dont you dare calling me a groupie of that brute music!.''said adamand while doing a jump kick toward grudge.

Arianne pouted to herself, her brow furrowing at all the noisy commotion above her head on the main deck. Reading was fast becoming impossible for her.
The moment she finished eating, she headed up to the main deck, raising her eyebrows at the sound of rock music surging through the air.
Her eyes widened at Adamand suddenly attacking Grudge and sighed, rolling her eyes. "Such needless conflict...what a waste of energy..."
She blinked, smiling when she noticed that Avery had returned and heading over to him. "Ah, back already?"

“Huh…you talk about ‘brute music’ and then you try and attack him?” Avery muttered as he passed by Adamand and Grudge. “Hypocrite.” Avery’s stomach growled again and he winced. “Man I’m hungry. Where did they hide the kitchen on this ship?”

Lawrence, who was following in Avery’s wake, rolled his eyes. Avery was undoubtedly hungry, but had he really been starving, he would have had Lawrence sniff out the kitchen for him. Avery was just trying to cover up his fascination with the ship and its inhabitants by complaining about something.

"Oh, hey Arianne," Avery said as she came walking up. "Yeah, I wasn't that far off and I just needed a couple of things." He rattled the bag he had hanging over his shoulder.
