"Aim. Oh, mine again." Another adjustment. "You're a very good cannon-loader. Not in my skill set. ...How many shots do you think? It's not really attacking anyone. It does have a hat."
Another hit.

Myr thought for a moment, as he loaded the cannon once more. "I'm not really sure?" It was true that it wasn't attacking them, for the moment, but on the other hand, just because it was wearing a hat didn't mean that it was harmless. "I'm not sure that our shots are doing much to it anyways."
He fired the cannon again, once more hitting the squid. "And thanks, I think. I've never actually touched a cannon before now.' He chucked, and reloaded it again.

Barth gave the cannon one last adjustment, landing another hit.
"We have been dealing with a lot of projectiles, though. Nice to get the variety in."
He felt a lot better about manning cannons when he was having to do almost zero manning. Myr, he noted for future reference, made an excellent teammate.

"Yeah. I missed getting to use the grappling gun though. Somehow I managed to sleep through both times." He frowned. "Perhaps next time."
He reloaded the cannon, and fired it, once more hitting the Squid. Apparently he just needed size to be accurate. "These seem to be a bit more my speed than the water pistols were though."
He didn't mind working with Barth, or loading the cannons for him, it was kind of enjoyable in a weird sort of way. He reloaded the cannon again, leaving it ready for the next shot. "But, you know, I'm not sure how we'll get the squid onto the boat should we actually kill it."

Given sole use of his cannon once more, West fired the shot he had loaded for Barth. It seemed the sloth demon had better luck with that bluish kid anyway. He missed by a mile, his cannonball doing nothing more than causing a large splash somewhere off to the right.
Well, that just sucked, to be honest. West leaned out of the hole his cannon protruded through and shook a fist at the red squid. "DIE ALREADY!" he bellowed.

Mandy had been watching from by her cannon vaguely amused and in no rush to use up all her shots just yet. She had briefly considered helping Barth with his string of bad luck but West and Mry had it in control so instead she took her time to leasuirly and carefully reload and adjust her canon towards the squid.
She'd just finished when West let out his shout and feeling slightly mishevious she let out a taunt, "Need help with your aim there West?"
It was all in the name of friendly competition, no harm meant.
And then her own shot missed. Oh wow talk about bad luck.

Whilst she waited for West to reply she reloaded and fired another cannonball. That squid was going down, not only because of pride that said they had to best it but from what she could tell they really did need the food.
Though how they'd get it back to the ship and prepare it was up for debate.... And wouldn't something that big be a bit chewy?
So lost in her thoughts in the quality of giant squid calamari she failed to correct her aim when the squid moved and missed, causing her to let out a curse. West may beat her at this rate!

West beat her? No way. Seeing as the boil seemed to have let her rather awkward, especially after that second miss, taunt slide she decided to put her full attention back into firing the cannon.
Powder, ball, light the fuse, BOOM.

Hit! Concentrating really did help her aim. And she better really concentrate on this last shot. This was the last cannon ball by her cannon and it wouldn't be fair to take them from others.
With that in mind she went through her mantra once again.
Powder, ball, light fuse, BOOM.
EEEEEEEEEEH? MISS? JAC-
Well. At least she was only tied with West instead of beaten.

GM EVENT POST 7:20 shots hit the red squid, but it refused to go down. In fact, while the shots were causing it to bleed and flail wildly, it was still advancing towards the ship while raging. Throughout this, Malcolm had been standing at the side of the room, peering out a porthole as he watched the students and the squid at the same time. When the last shot - made by Mandy - was fired, he loaded up a nearby free cannon. He had 5 shots as well; that was all that he needed, really - all 5 shots hit, and the squid finally stopped in its tracks...
But with its dying will, the red squid managed to fling one of the cannon balls at the boat using a tentacle. As the cannon ball hit the wood, there was a loud crash as the whole ship shook from the impact, sending the smaller students flying backwards. When that was done, it finally flopped over, floating on the sea near the boat, dying the water red.
"Great job! Calamari will be served tonight!" Malcolm nodded, although he looked slightly worried at the damages to the ship; of course, it would take more than that to do any real damage to the sturdy R.A.G.E. but it was still a cause of concern. Leaving the students to clean up the cannon room, he returned to the deck alone, steering the ship towards the dead squid. By the time the students joined him on the deck, 2 of the longer tentacles of the squid were on the deck with him.
"The ship is leaking from taking that hit," He was calm as he spoke, his tone suggesting that there was nothing to worry about, "It'll take 2 days for me to fix it, so it might feel moist for a while. Since we were running out of food, this came at a good time; lets take a day to harvest this squid to last us the rest of our way. I already harvested some, so I'll be making dinner while you work... Fried calamari rings and squid sashimi with rice, yes?"
What to do:
SQUID HARVESTING.
- Roll 2 10-sided dice: The number you get is the amount of food you managed to cut off from the squid!
- You may try 3 times in total; please total up your score at the third try!
You have 24 hours/whenever the boat event ends to do this!
Summery:
- All students lose 5 HP!
- 2 days were spent travelling, 2 days spent fixing the leak and 1 day to "fish"
- 25 food had been taken
- Staff Fear Bonus: Maybe later~
OOC NOTE:
Keep in mind that these 'daily events' happen ICly and you are supposed to RP the AFTERMATH of it - Pretend that X days had already passed. <3 If you wish to continue any epic RP, just make a PRP (it does count as 1 growth point if you hit the minimum word count); just remember to link it here!
Supposed to get 25 HITS to win but... Well, you guys were awesome so I had Malcolm shoot the last 5 hits for it to go down. <3
Moonlit gets a rare slingshot! <- Will send this.
Taska, Toshi, Smerdle, Sephiros and Rosie gets a sea-slingshot each; please tell me which you prefer (Red dot, Triple BB, Machining, Beakerang, Egg Beater, Kamikaboom) and give me a profile link!
PS. IF I MISSED GIVING YOU A PRIZE THUS FAR, PLEASE TELL ME.Stats Boat size: Large
Number of days traveled so far: 11 + 2 + 2 (Leaking event) + 1 ("fishing" event for food) = 16
Food: 0 <- OH NO, HARVEST THAT SQUID so we can get +50! D:
Boat Fear ability: 0
Teacher Bonus:
Being BFFs with animals have its benefits! 8D

West hadn't felt the need to immediately reply to Mandy's taunt, seeing as how he had just taken out his frustration by screaming at the squid itself, but he did feel a little better when he saw that she missed as much as he had.
"There's somethin' wrong wit'these cannons," he said, crossing his arms over his chest awkwardly. That was the only thing that could explain why they had both failed to hit the thing so many times.
He watched in silence as Malcolm came to the rescue again, pummeling the squid with five shots of his own. Way to make him seem like a total whiny liar, professor. West stumbled a bit as the animal retaliated, but managed to grab the cannon to steady himself before he fell.
There wasn't much to clean around his area, so he was soon on deck again, furiously maiming one of the large tentacles in an effort to remove some edible meat from it. He harvested a fair amount before he paused and glanced around the area, his left forearm and a fair portion of his cast coated with squid blood. Perhaps he might have been able to keep things neater if he had known what the hell he was doing, but he didn't, so he ended up looking like a serial killer.
(( Red dot pleez! heart heart heart ))

Sepheran smiled as he stood off a bit and watched Myr and soon Barth come to his cannon which seemed to bring them luck after he had readjusted it from when he accidentally bumped and moved it. Still though the squid refused to go down. Sepheran had to hold steady when to boat quaked being hit by a cannon ball. How the squid managed to get a hold of one he didn't know, but with Malcolm's added shots the squid fell after it's last attack. Sephy grinned, they were having squid tonight! Returning to the deck he listened as the Professor spoke of the damage and was relieved when he said they would be able to fix it, even if it would take some time. At the mention of helping harvest the squid Sepheran was more the glad to moving over to start hacking away at the beast. ((Triple BB please! Taskaneko))

Sepheran managed to harvest a decent amount of squid as he hacked away. Blood spilled regularly though painting the area red much like West's area. Pausing for a moment Sepheran looked up watching the other as he slashed the tentacles with a passion to match his usual anger.
Sepheran was quite pleased by the sight actually, they couldn't have revenge on the purple squid, but at least this time they showed that they aren't people they should easy mess with.
With his distracted watching West though he didn't get much harvested this time.

Chop. Chop. Chop. West had turned back to his 'work' with the squid by the time Sepheran reached the animal and was actually getting the hang of things when he noticed there was someone else nearby. He spared a wave for the basilisk, and somehow managed to keep the gesture from seeming too threatening despite the knife he held. Just a little more... there! A nice chunk of tentacle ready to go.

Sadly, he was beginning to tire, but West wasn't one to admit defeat. He brandished the knife with his non-dominant hand and used his cast to brace himself, hacking at the squid until his fingers ached and the slippery blood began to make mindless slicing dangerous.
He stopped, his attention drawn back to Sepheran. He recognized the other boil from -- prior to this two week boat ride -- music class. "I hope this's enough," he said. "'Cause I'm not stickin'round t'cut anymore."
And with that, he was gone, back to the boys' room to try and clean up.
