OOC- I was just thinking this would be a good place to jumpstart the rp, and then we could go visit the Kuniku in other places individually, in pairs, or even in the group. Although if anyone else wants to join and introduce themselves, they're more than welcome to. Emil, at any rate, is probably going to want to go exploring and meet some new Kuniku.
((on the beach))
Emil stumbled off the boat first, trying his best to look like the reason he had left the ship was because he was a brave and noble leader and not because he felt so sea sick. His face was green enough to rival the color of his eyes. He couldn't help it; he felt much safer with grass beneath his feet, and the rocking motion of the boat made his stomach feel very queasy.
"Well, I guess we're here!" he said with a sigh of relief. He preferred grass best, but the sand on the beach was infinitely preferable to all of that wet, moving, churning water. He watched as his friends disembarked.
"I can't wait to explore this place as soon as possible," Emil said with a smile. He longed to ask Mustard if he knew where the other kuniku on this island were, but he would not stoop to admitting Mustard as his superior in anything. "Who would want to go with me?" Emil added hopefully. Maybe everyone would tag along, and maybe it would just be him. Who knew? He was rooting for Moon's companionship, to be honest. If Sanyu came along, then Mustard would be there too, as if he wanted any more reminders. He was coming to think of it as a bit silly that he had fancied Sanyu. She was older than him anyways. He blushed a little. He had to watch himself on this island; it was silly to get crushes so easily. But that didn't mean they couldn't still be friends, did it?

((Woo! Honshu exploration time!))
((The beach))
Sanyu had enjoyed the voyage to Hoshu well enough, it was soothing to stare out of the bright, shimmering waves. After all, she hadn't ever see such a massive amount of water. The trip had gotten slightly rough towards the end, though, so she was glad to get off the boat after bowing politely to the fisherman who'd brought them across.
The sand was warm beneath Sanyu's paws as she left the wooden dock, and she paused to sit a short distance away from Emil. Lukily she didn't hold grudges for too long, so she merely stared at him and titlted her head to the side.
"I'll go anywhere, Apricot," she replied, "We could split in to two groups, or stay together, or... do anything, really."
Hopefully there would be some food wherever the went; the small amount that Sovann had brought along hadn't filled the female up very much. Most likely she'd spent her enegy worrying about the sea and her friends' relationships. But so far everything seemed okay.

(( Say hello to the tour guide. xD ))
Tithe was chasing a seabird angerly, as it stole her last berry bunch.
Attempting to grab it, and kicking up sand as she did so, her jaws snapped and to the suprise of the bird, it flew away with a missing feather.
"Oh darn." Tithe threw her head up in frustration.
That's when she saw a boat in the distance, which wouldn't be a site for speculation, as many boats come and go, but this one carried a familiar scent with it.
As the ship docked, Tithe almost fell back in the warm sand as she saw not only one kuniku, but four- exit the boat.
With her eyes full of suprise,
she approached them slowly, holding her head high, as she often does when meeting strangers.
One had a very "foresty" coloring, as Tithe would describe it, who looked quite sick. Tithe didn't want any accidents, so she just approached a calm looking pink female, who was about the same size as Tithe, although a bit older.
She threw a kind smile at her back and waited for her to turn around.

((Hellooooo tour guide! ^^))
Sanyu sat quietly as she waited for a decision about what was to happen next. A second later, she heard a frustrated cry from behind them and a thump in the sand. As she turned around she was met with a smiling female Kuniku. The girl's markings were light, and she had an adorable bubbly pattern on her backend.
"Hello," Sanyu greeted, slightly surprised she hadn't noticed the female's approach, "I'm Sanyu. We've just come over from Shikoku."
She glanced over her shoulder at the group, and decided to introduce them.
"These guys," she stated, "are Prince, Moon, and Apricot." She jestured to each one in turn, starting with Masao and ending with Emil. "And you are?"

"Tithe."
She replied.
After a few moments in light thought, she asked
"Why leave Shikoku? I hear it's beautiful there."
And then as Sanyu began introducing the others,Tithe giggled.
"Some interesting names they have in Shikoku."

((OOC- On second thought, Emil wouldn't mind staying here for a bit and getting better acquainted with Tithe. xd ))
Emil, looking significantly less green already, couldn't help but pipe in. A new Kuniku already? And a girl! This was only the second girl Emil had ever met, and he was beginning to think that either he had had the good fortune of meeting two of the prettiest kuniku females there were, or all girls just looked like that. She was... different than Sanyu though. He wasn't sure exactly what it was about her.
"Those are just Sanyu's nicknames for us. My name is actually Emil, and they are Sovann and Masao. And we were just feeling adventurous, Tithe! The whole wide world is out there, and all we'd ever seen was Shikoku." He sat there grinning for a moment, then remembered his manners.
"Excuse me. It's very nice to meet you Tithe," Emil said and extended a paw, hoping that his seasickness was less obvious now and she wouldn't be repulsed by his queasy stomach.

Tithe almost laughed at this enthusiastic green-eyed male.
"Nice to meet you." she replied with a grin on her face.
Looking at Emil's not so great appearance, she couldn't help but ask
"How long were you out at sea?"
She tilted her head slightly, so that the sun didn't hit her dark maroon eyes as much. She was pretty hungry, and didn't know how long she could keep up conversation without leaving in search of something to eat.

((Beach))
Sovann was exstatic to be meeting another Kuniku already. It had only been a few seconds since they'd hopped off the ship. What amazing god was smiling down upon them? He could hardly wait to explore this new, very different island.
He heard Tithe ask about the boatride and decided to chime in. It seemed Emil was slightly distracted by the female's intriguing appearance, anyway.
"Well the trip seemed to last an eternity, but I assume it took three, maybe four, days. I recall seeing the moon several times, so that should be about right." Sovann grinned and nodded. "It is very good to meet you Tithe," he lowered his voice, "as a forewarning though, Sanyu quite enjoys making nicknames for others. I don't have think any of us have a problem with it, I very much like mine, but I thought you should know that one's probably coming your way."
Sovann stepped back a bit and gave a little smirk. He was wondering how well this Honshu girl would fit in.

Masao had learnt that boats and sailing were not his strong point the last time he’d been forced to cross a large body of water. Keeping to himself for most of the trip, he lay down on the deck of the boat and tried to ignore the queasy rolling of his stomach. The sailors had been ecstatic to have four Kuniku on board. Humans were such odd creatures.
When they finally reached Honshu, Masao took his time in leaving the boat, simply because if he didn’t stop his stomach from turning first his exit would be less than dignified. Finally he moved to join the others, taking a moment when he was on land to find his feet again and then continuing on in his usual calm, steady way.
Ah look, the others had found another Kuniku. He wasn’t familiar with her, but that wasn’t a surprise. Last time he had come through this area he hadn’t stopped to talk to the locals, it was only until Shikoku that he had bothered with meeting others.
He strode over to the group and took a seat beside Sanyu. Masao gave Tithe a respectful nod, a charming smile on his face. “A pleasure to meet you. I am Masao.”

((OOC- Um... I don't really have much to add. xd LAWL, Leurun, Emil is ALWAYS distracted by female appearances. Oh, and I'm sorry the dialouge is so corny, but this is totally the way Emil would talk.))
Emil laughed when he heard Sovann mention that he had seen the moon and gave his friend a playful punch on his shoulder.
"It figures that you'd be looking out for the moon, Moon!" he said with a laugh. He then thought he might try to reassure Tithe; she had obviously picked up on his seasickness.
"I'm fine, really. I may look crab apple green, but inside I'm glowing with the spirit of adventure! Anyways, it was my first time on a boat. With experience, I'm bound to get better." Experience? Why did he say that? The last thing he wanted was to go on a boat again... but it was important to be brave above all things.

"I'm Tithe."
She managed to nod to all of them,
replying Sovann simply.
"Not to worry. It can't be too bad."
Although these four strangers surrounded her, she couldn't manage to be kept into four conversations.
"Anyone hungry or thirsty?" she offered.
She knew there were some fruit trees along the coast, and she could get fresh water in a flash, and she honestly wondered how they still weren't complaining.
Tithe had gotten their names down.
Sanyu, the only other female she knew. Emil, the silly orange one. Sovann, the handsome black and gold one. And Masao, who's pastel coat reminded her of her own.

((Raddishh, I like how Emil talks. It's very heartfelt! xD))
Sovann noticed how Tithe was quickly becoming overwhelmed by the four Kuniku. She wasn't outwardly flustered but she obviously couldn't continue talking to all of them at once.
"Yes," Sovann agreed. "Perhaps it would be best to rejuvenate ourselves with a spot of pure water and local delicacies. That is, as long as no one has anywhere urgent they must be?" he teased.
Hopefully the promise of food would dull some of the tension between a certain two. Well, he could only count on the kunikus' unparalled abitlity to forgive and trust. Atleast he belived so.
"Lead the way, Tithe!" Sovann said with a smile.

Tithe almost laughed outwardly at Sovann's sequest.
"Pure water, no problem. But local delicacies? I'm not even sure what those might be."
Tithe quickly regained her composture and brought over a large, oddly curved leaf, filling it with sea water and placing it back on the sand. She then repeated to procedure so that there would be enough water for eveyone. (aka two leaves) She quickly stuck her paw in one leaf and then another, and after a few sparkles, announced
"There you go, fresh water. I'll be back with some food Sovann, you may come if you wish, but it would be wiser to go drink something first. This heat won't do any of you good."
And with that said, she looked back at Sovann and then started slowly walking off along the coast-line, secretly hoping he would come.

((D'aww))
Sovann was thouroughly impressed by Tithe's power and took a brief gulp of the now pristine water before following her.
"It's alright. I think the others can enjoy the water while I accompany you. I doubt you'd be able to carry enough for us all in one trip- uh.. not that you wouldn't be strong enough.. it's just your size.. and, oh!"
He tripped over a twig in the sand just as gracefully as he'd been stammering through his sentence. He coughed slightly and calmed his nerves. There was nothing to get worked up about, right?
Sovann followed Tithe in silence for a moment as he took in the beautiful and relaxing beach scenery. The waves splashed against their paws and seagulls soared overhead. In the distance he could see a small village, and when he glanced back there were the docks. It wasn't quite Shikoku, but maybe it had more to offer?

(( xD Yeah. <3 ))
Tithe just gave him a questioning glance as he rambled through his sentence, and started heading off to a small grove of palm trees, on which sweet yellow fruits grew.
She giggled as he heard him fall behind her, checking back to make sure he was ok.
"Oh yes, I would never make it back without you!" she joked.
She walked along the serene beach until they were finally there.
Tithe waited for Sovann so she could tell him how to get the fruits down.
