The Port of Gambino The Gambino Port is a facility for receiving ships and transferring cargo to and from them. Oddly situated in a rectangular fashion, the port has cargo-handling equipment such as cranes and forklifts for use in loading/unloading of ships, which may be provided by private interests or public bodies. Pilots and tugboats are also used to safely maneuver the ships in tight quarters. Of course the occasional cruise ship can also be seen setting sail from here.

Alexiel arrived at the Port of Gambino. She would rest here, give her horse a break and get him some water. Alex was not a cruel master and she would not work the beast to death.

Assured that her horse was watered, Alexiel made her way to the ferry. She walked at the horse's side, Daemon perched on the saddle horn as they got ontot he ferry, heading towards the beach.

He sighed and then proceeded north. His next destination was the Gambino Ferry. "I'm getting tired from all this walking," he complained.

Slowing only slightly, Masuyu keep the jeep on the thin strips of land to which the port consisted of, power sliding over the wooden bridges. With a loud "Honk" he signalled ahead on his way to the Ferry.

They spun around the corner, going at about forty-five miles an hour as they exited the cross-county road and ended up in the port of Gambino. Obviously, Athan had never heard of a brake as they sped directly towards the ferry. Pedestrians had little to no time to get out of his way.
Somewhere along the line, he had triggered the windshield wipers. Athan had no clue how to shut them off, and so they kept grinding up against the glass, making a very annoying rubbing noise every ten seconds or so.
As they hit the docks, the sound of people splashing into the water below became the only background noise. The ferry was sounding its whistle. They only had a few minutes to board before it took off.

Kit looked behind them, a bunch of angry pedestrians were left in the car's path. There was also another car on the road, one that made a blaring noise even louder than those annoying windshield wipers.
"Athan?" Kit said, looking forward again, "We've got a problem..."
There were police chasing after them and the ferry was about to leave without them, hell, if that wasn't a problem, Kit didn't know what was.

The blare of police sirens was enough to just annoy the living hell out of him.
"You've gotta be kidding me!"
He looked in his rear view mirror, taking his eyes off the road for a split second. In that moment, a crane that was lifting up a section of a bridge for repairs happened to swing its cargo directly in the path of their car.
Athan's head jerked forward as they initially struck the floating piece of metal. The crane groaned slightly, the metal bent towards a 45 degree incline, and next thing Athan knew, their car was airborne and heading towards the ferry like a missle.
The people on the boat were ducking for cover, and Athan gave a quick glance to see if there were airbags in the car.
"AHHHHHHHHH HAH HAH!!!!'
He couldn't help but scream as they neared the ferry's deck.

Sirens. A car chase. This was more to her liking.
As the car flew through the air, Flare flew along after it.

Little girl. Under the car. s**t.
Flare cursed under her breath, and dove towards the girl for all she was worth. With any luck, she could tackle the child out of the way before the car reached her...

"Weeeee!" Kit laughed, he swore everything froze and really annoying guitar music filled his ears for a moment, but when they reached the boat, it all became calm again. Thankfully, two airbags deployed on the dashboard cushioned their fall, but as soon as everything stopped, the airbags exploded like cheap balloons. His head landed on the dashboard and a loud thunk of his head was heard.
"Ow..." Kit looked back, the police were still on their-
The police car seemed to have tried the jump too, and now it was pretty much destroyed.

Wierd...the post got deleted. -Before Car Landing- The little girl could not help but jump up and down and point wildly at the approaching car. "Look mommy look!" Her mother could only scream as her daughter stayed planted right where she was. Almost pointing straight up.
