Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jacob ll Deck

"Oh come on! I was just trying to help." He said as he butterfly kicked to avoid being knocked down by the wind. Unfortunately for Dawn, she sent herself overboard. "Damn it...." Jacob said, staring back at the two, now that Joe had rushed to her aid. Jacob shook his head and slumped on the railings. Rocks had risen to greet them around the edges of the ship crept further into Shipwreck Cove. "How much longer until I'm off the freaking boat..."

Bobbi grinned to herself when she heard Leon speak. The first thing that popped into her mind was an image of Obi Wan going "we are not the Jedi you are looking for," or whatever that line was. She snickered a little, but was careful to keep it quiet.

"Someone's gonna have to fill me in on what all I missed while I was away," she sent over the charms in response to Kyla's statement. "Shoulda got caught up during our little rumpus, but we were all busy cutting loose. I take it not everyone on the other end of the fight back in the city I stumbled in on was against us of their own will?"

Demyx kept himself sequestered behind his tree on the sidelines, trying to reason out what the better course of action was: stay with the Earth Kids, or sneak off and do his own thing?

"Man, why do I always have to make the hard decisions?" he asked himself, crossing his arms over his chest and pouting. "Stupid heartless, making a mess of things..."

On the one hand, staying with the kids gave him a chance to at least pretend he still had a heart and emotions. It was the closest thing to being whole again that was available right now. On the other hand, they got into fights. A lot. He was starting to consider making out a list of pros and cons, really...

[Dawn : Caribbean Sea : Overboard]

Being too panicked to answer, Dawn let Joe grab her hand and lead her through the water. Her breathing was rather heavy as she swam with him. She silently obeyed his instructions. It was hard for her to forget that instead of kicking legs to move through the water, she was using one large fin.

"I am sorry," Dawn with a sigh as she swam with Joe, her voice coming out rather softly as she tried to keep her fear at bay.

Bobbi dropped her hands back to her sides and followed Riku and Cloud. She still kept Taulmaril manifest, not quite sure what they were all walking into, and not willing to be anything less than alert. Her heart was still pounding a little from the Ajora threat. She still heard Dawn's terrified voice echoing in her head, screaming to protect her. She was bound and determined to not need any protecting.

She didn't even glance back behind at the others as she followed. The others would follow or stay behind as they will.

{Kyle : Hawaii : Beach

Nodding, he approved of the choices that King Mickey made. Letting the aliens know that they would be receiving reinforcements was a smart move. It let them know to expect them. Made certain they wouldn't get attacked on first sight.

Following them, he stepped next to Bobbi and walked with her. He took his cue from Riku and dismissed his blades, resuming his normal outfit. Gone was the beach outfit, now onto the normal attire for all occasions. "So when did you last see King Mickey? Well, I mean, if you know that is." He asked the commander, curious if he had only had orders relayed to him or not.

Bobbi grinned a little at Dani's remark, not that it could be seen behind her Ranger helm. She decided, since she was surrounded by friends and an alien force with drawn ray-guns, that she should be safe enough dismissing Taulmaril for now, and let her Dress-sphere change back to her leather breastplate and jewel-toned clothing.

"That's accurate," she said in response to the water-mage. "Or like chasing a wild goose. Although I'm not so sure finding Mickey and trying to get him to go back to the castle is a good idea, considering..."

The memory of the gathered armies flashed across her mind, melting her grin away like snow in summer. She'd seen armies in movies, some made of rather fearful creatures, like the Uruk'hai from the Lord of the Rings. But absolutely nothing compared to the sight, sound, and even smell of all those fighting men and women milling about, ranking up according to division, preparing themselves for battle. The tang of leather and metal armor, the clash of swords in practice, the precise movements of well trained and experienced units... It was both frightening and exciting, in a way.

So much like a book, she thought.

Demyx was still thinking when the kids started walking off. He stared after them a bit, still weighing his options.

"Eh, I'm better off without them," he muttered, crossing his arms and leaning against his tree. "They're messin' up my mojo anyway."

He looked back, seeing the way they stood close together, how at ease they were with each other. His own memories showed that camaraderie was something that was quite desirable. He remembered laughter, he remembered what fun was, remembered how it felt, what it was like to be happy. They were emotions he couldn't feel anymore, but he could remember them. They were something that made a person complete. And he was letting his chance to be as close to complete as he could get just walk away because he didn't want to exert any effort.

He stared up at the leaves of the palm, and the sky that should have been blossoming with stars by now. With a sigh, he dropped his head against the tree trunk with a hollow thud a few times, then pushed himself away and followed behind the Earthlings. He lagged behind quite a bit, making a show of reluctance like he was being dragged along against his will, but he still followed.

[Elizabeth : Black Pearl : Main Deck]

Elizabeth, after spending several hours below deck trying to think of what was to happen when they reached their destination, emerged from onto the deck. She had worries the meeting was going to be a rough one. However, Elizabeth was not about to leave the meeting until the Pirate Lords were going to cooperate together and face the threat at hand instead of fighting amongst each other or running away. Elizabeth also had the pressing worry of having to leave Will behind on the Flying Dutchman on her mind. What their interest with him, still puzzled her.

As she scanned the deck, she could tell much more had happened on the deck then she had originally thought. She recalled the strange nightfall, and some yelling above deck. When the light returned, her curiosity sprung, and decided to investigate. Elizabeth was also pleasantly surprised to see that they had reached the Shipwreck Cove. She walked over to Jack who seemed to be fussing over the state over the ship.

"We arrived, I see," she said as she watched as the shipped docked and Barbossa was the first to leave, "Must I say, I was not expecting us to arrive so soon."
