Scenelets from the island~
Fuuma: *returns to the ship with Kazuki*
Rufus: *eyes* Who may I ask is that?
Fuuma: Uh, my son.
Rufus: ...your son was born an eight year old.
Fuuma: You got it.
Rufus: Dare I ask who the mother is?
Fuuma: Didn't need one.
Rufus: ...I don't want to know.
===================
Rude: *adjusts his glasses*
Reno: Yo, Rude, I found us a new drinkin' buddy. *claps Hervey on the back*
Rude: *slight raise of brow from behind his shades* Really?
Reno: Booze is serious business. I wouldn't joke about that. *grins* His name's Hervey. And Hervey, this is Rude.
Hervey: *waves and :D because he can only take drinking with Sigurd and Sigurd not getting tipsy for so long* Nice too meet ya.
Rude: *grunts a greeting*
===================
Hervey: HEY. Sigurd, I have something to show you. :D
Sigurd: What is i-- *sees Lucas, facepalms* Do you know what you've done this time?
Hervey: Captured a prisoner? :O
Lucas: . . .
===================
Sigurd: *dragging Hervey over by the ear*
Hervey: Owowowowow.
Sigurd: *knocks with his free hand* Sir Rufus?
Rufus: Enter. *looks up as the two enter, gaze goes to Hervey* What did he do this time?
Sigurd: Tell him.
Hervey: But. D:
Sigurd: *ear twist* Tell him.
Hervey: Ow! Fine! Ikindofkidnappedtheprinceoftheislands.
Rufus: *if he facepalmed, he would do so now*
---
Rufus: *is glaring at you, Hervey*
Hervey: *gulps* I'll throw him back! And then everything will be okay, right?
Sigurd: *does facepalm, and takes advantage of that now* He's a prince, not a fish.
Hervey: IDIDN'TKNOWWHOHEWASOKAY?
Rufus: No. It's not okay. Kidnapping on my orders is one thing, but presently we are not prepared to take on the entire royal army unless you wish to do so yourself.
Hervey: *well, if that'll get Rufus to stop glaring at him like that then* Sure? :D;;;
---
Tseng: Take care of him, Rude. *leaves*
Rude: *was tasked to watch over Lucas, wut* ...
Lucas: *seated at a table with food and just not really touching it because he got kidnapped* So...
Nataku: *kinda staring at the prince guy person* Aren't you hungry?
Lucas: *too unsettled with his situation to think about food* Not really... *looks at the child* Did you get kidnapped too?
Nataku: *looks confused* What's 'kidnapped'?
Lucas: It's when you're taken away by force from your home. *frowns a bit..maybe this child actually belongs here? He didn't see any women around though*
Nataku: Oh... Daddy took me away from the laboratories... Does that count? :O
Lucas: *dot dot dot*
---
Rufus: So where is he right now?
Hervey: Uhhhh....
Sigurd: I asked Sir Tseng to see to his needs.
Rufus: I suppose that will do. *steeples his fingers and ponders what to do next*
Hervey: Thanks Sigurd! *:D*
Rufus: *looks at Hervey again, then leans back in his chair*
Hervey: ... *D: edging toward the door*
Sigurd: Hervey.
Hervey: *makes a quiet gesture* Shh. I'm being stealthy. *bolts!*
Sigurd: Should I retrieve him, sir?
Rufus: No, keep him out of my sight if you value having him around.
Sigurd: Yes, sir.
---
Rude: *is following a certain duo of younger males because he shouldn't let the prince out of his sight, even if his presence here is... most puzzling*
Nataku: *took to taking Lucas on a trip around the boat* :O And that's called a mast. Daddy didn't tell me how it stands up like that, but it does.
Lucas: *will just smile and nod (more like just nod) while being dragged by the hand by a little boy* How much did your daddy show you?
Nataku: A lot! But not everything yet. He says there's tons of things he can't explain right away because it'll take him years to show them all. *giggles*
Lucas: So you know everything about the ship?
Nataku: Not everything! But a lot. *points eagerly* Look up there, it's the bird's nest. Daddy says there aren't really birds there when I asked though. *looks at Lucas* Why is it called like that if it doesn't have birds?
Lucas: I think it's because it has the shape of a bird's nest.
Nataku: Really? *never saw an actual one*
===================
Fuuma: *is rowing toward the boat to catch up since he had to make a detour*
Karen: You know, you could just bring Kazuki with you on occasion.
Fuuma: We're only on land when we're doing raids these days. Would you want me to bring him that close to peril?
Karen: *eyes Fuuma* That's why you keep him out of the way and safe above all else.
Fuuma: Yes, dear, I know. He's still in one piece now, isn't he?
Karen: So next time just drop him off before you do the whole pillage and plunder bit.
Fuuma: But then I wouldn't get a chance to show you off. :)
Karen: Just keep rowing before I kick you.
Fuuma: *and we're at the boat, jumps onboard because X people have the 'I can jump higher than your skyscraper skills'*
Karen: *follows suit, sees Kazuki with a blonde boy she doesn't know* Who's that?
Fuuma: Hmm.
Reno: *slouches over* Hervey's new cabin boy or somethin'. He picked him not too long ago. *grins at Karen* Hey babe. You're lookin' as good as ever.
Karen: Same goes for you, hon. *smiles at Reno* Do you ever expect your flattery to get you anywhere?
Reno: No, that's why I give it so freely. But a guy can dream~ ;D
Karen: *ruffles Reno's hair as she detaches from Fuuma and goes toward Nataku* Careful now, 'hubby' might get jealous.
Fuuma: Nah, I'll leave that for 'special Uncle Aoki'.
Karen: *and for that Fuuma gets a whack upside the head*
---
Nataku: *was still babbling and dragging Lucas and--by proxy--Rude along* And that's the railing and... *blinks... sees his parents* :D! That's mommy and daddy making friends again!
Lucas: *following Nataku's pointing and...sweatdrops* They're..making friends that way?
Nataku: Well, daddy says mommy makes friends by setting people on fire. :O But he's already really good friends with mommy so she doesn't need to set him on fire. :3 Mommy says she makes sure to remind daddy she's really the bestest of friends with daddy by smacking him.
Lucas: ...Your parents are very loving, Kazuki.
===================
no subject
Fuuma: *amused, almost smirky* Mommy's being real nice today. *holds Kazuki securely against him*
Karen: *turns her smile on Fuuma even as she reaches up an gives a sharp tug on his hair* That's because mommy loves Kazuki very much.
Hervey: *getting ticked off with this prince-guy here D:* I have a name, you know. It's Hervey.
---
Billy: You always do. *smiles slightly at the grin before remembering himself and schooling his expression* Faster than I thought, but I suppose it should have been expected.
Ayame: Oh, Gure-san, you know you will always hold a very special place in my heart and that your role carries great weight no matter how small it might seem~!
---
Demyx: *having trouble catching his breath, what with Kintarou sitting on him and all; flails*
Kintarou: :O? Oh! Do you wanna play charades :D!?
Axel: Making yourself an Axel pancake. *recovers faster than Demyx, wait for it... and now the attempt to flip over so he's got Roxas pinned down*
no subject
Lucas: *equally as (if not more so) annoyed by the pirate* Well then, you should have thought to introduce yourself earlier than this, Mister Hervey the pirate.
---
Zack: They're good girls. Think they'll appreciate a visit from me?
Shigure: A~ya~
---
Roxas: *ack! struggles!* Axel, let me go! *isn't a pancake!*
no subject
Karen: Don't push it. *ear thwacking to Fuuma, then to Nataku* And you'll get to see all your other friends too.
Hervey: Not like you introduced yourself Mister prince-guy. D: Then I -- we wouldn't be in this mess! *arms crossed over his chest, scowl*
Sigurd: Hervey, you're really not helping.
---
Billy: They always do. I think if they had it their way you'd never leave.
Ayame: Yes, dearest flutter of my heart~?
---
Axel: Now why should I do something like that? *grins*
Kintarou: *keeps trying to guess what all the flailing from Demyx means* Bird? Fish? Fly away fish? Bees? D: *instead pounces on Axel so he can get to Roxas* Roxaaas, help me guess.
Axel: *and now he has a Kintarou hanging on his shoulder*
Demyx: *gasping for air* Get offa me so I can breathe!
Kintarou: THAT'S CHEATING! :O You're not supposed to talk.
no subject
Lucas: I've always been taught not to introduce myself before the other party does. What more, you took me by force, thus I had no such obligation to even speak to you.
---
Zack: What can I say, I'm that good with children. *grins*
Shigure: *about to spout more flowery goodness when he gets thwapped upside the head by Elena* --!!
Elena: Really! Their Majesties are worried about the prince and here you are skipping on the job again! *forcefully drags Shigure to the king and queen*
Shigure: But 'lena-chan... |D
Hatori: *was also fetched by Elena while the two idiots were being...themselves. He doesn't stop her from taking Shigure away, peering one eye at the more flippant silver-haired man* Ayame, stop your nonsense already.
---
Roxas: ACK! *with Kintarou pouncing on Axel, he's kinda even more squished*
no subject
Fuuma: *stretches his arms* I guess that means mommy wants us to get packed up soon.
Hervey: Well, you weren't going to come willingly now were you? And if I stood around introducing myself all the time I'd never get anywhere.
---
Billy: *teasing* I guess that happens when you're able to think like them.
Sephiroth: *exiting the royal audience chamber, looking none too pleased; spots Elena and Shigure* Have either of you seen Zack?
Ayame: *about to call after Gure-san, but* Tori-san! *brightens, without sparkles* What brings you here?
---
Axel: *is sandwiched between the two* Oif.
Kintarou: :O!! *shoves Axel off of Roxas and sits on Axel's back as he peers at Roxas* Are you okay?!
Axel: Hey! *tries to stand up, but Kintarou is persistent*
Demyx: *recovered enough to snickerfit* Axel got owned~
Axel: Shut up, you did too.
Demyx: *conveniently ignoring that fact*
no subject
Lucas: *unimpressed* I'm certain you could have found a moment in your busy schedule to give your name to your hostage, pirate.
---
Elena: Sir! *dragging a limp dog would be so much more difficult if she wasn't who she was* Last I saw him, he was in the hallway with Sir Billy and Sir Hatori.
Shigure: Ano, 'lena-chan, can you let go yet? |D
Elena: *twists her hold on his collar*
Shigure: *urk* ...Guess not.
Zack: Oooh, low blows! I've been hurt! *looks ready to fall over from that, but he's just grinning again* How could you use such cruel words, Billy!
Hatori: One of the servants had vapors upon hearing about the prince's disappearance. *one would think it'd be the queen doing that, but their queen's quite stout enough, thanks* What are you doing here, Ayame?
---
Roxas: *sits up, coughing a bit* T-thanks Kintarou... *'cos no more weight on him, wut*
no subject
Karen: You could just ask. *is not going to put Kazuki down yet though, so where he goes mommy goes*
Fuuma: But you're so good at picking up on hints, dear.
Karen: Unlike a certain someone, hmm? *smiles falsely sweet*
Hervey: Exactly! You were a prisoner, you didn't need a name or know mine. I needed leverage to get all your guards to stop attacking me. I wasn't planning on holding you for ransom.
Sigurd: Then what were you planning, Hervey?
Hervey: :D;; Uh. To get back here, see if he wanted to become a pirate, and if not drop him off at the next island we get to?
Sigurd: There are so many flaws in that I don't know where to begin.
Hervey: ...D: Siguuurd. You're supposed to support me.
---
Sephiroth: *nods at Elena, eyes Shigure, then continues on in that direction*
Billy: *lips quirk* Because they would wound nothing except perhaps your ego, and that seems as healthy as ever.
Ayame: Oh! Yes, that must be quite a shock for everyone. Visiting with Gure-san of course~! Well, I was supposed to be fitting the prince for new clothes, only to discover he had disappeared before I had the chance. Alas~ he's all alone still wearing last season's threads.
---
Axel: Kintarou, get off. *for a small boy he's surprisingly hard to dislodge*
Kintarou: You're welcome~ :D *ignoring his seat*
Axel: *mutters to himself* I give up. *plays dead*
Kintarou: :O! Axel died! *starts shaking him some*
Demyx: Let me handle this one! *summons water to throw on Axel*
Kintarou: *jumps out of the way just in time*
Axel: *is now soaked on top of irritated* What did you do that for?!
Demyx: You died! Andohmygodnowyou'regoing tokillme. *books it out of there*
no subject
Tseng: If he did, we'd have thrown him overboard already. *meaningful look at Hervey*
Lucas: *was going to say something, but...more level-headed pirates remind him that he was only becoming more and more childish as he replied to Hervey, so he quiets down like a good princely hostage would. His face might be slightly colored from that last realization*
---
Zack: *exaggerated sigh* I think I've had enough practice with you and Seph around. You two are so mean, taking daily stabs at my poor battered self.
Hatori: I doubt that's the prince's most important worry at the time, Ayame. No doubt his captors think about it even less than our prince would.
---
Roxas: ... *has to laugh it up, so he does, quite freely*
Aerith: *turns a smile at the remaining males even as Demyx zips right past her* Now boys, what trouble are you getting yourselves into?
Esmeralda: *peeking calmly from behind Aerith's skirts*
Primera: *staying behind Aerith's skirts*
no subject
Karen: *is ignoring Fuuma for now* Have you been keeping your room all nice and picked up while mommy's been away? *walks in that direction*
Fuuma: *follows after since Kazuki's room is just a smaller connection to his*
Hervey: *alarmed* So what are you going to do to me?
Sigurd: *notices the change in coloring* Are you feeling all right, Sir Lucas?
---
Billy: *about to say something further when the door bursts open*
Sephiroth: Walters! Sohma, Black, out.
Billy: *gulps, nods; as he's leaving, he makes a sign warding against evil behind Sephiroth's shoulder directed toward Zack*
Ayame: But a young man needs to be aware of these things! *chatters even as he leaves* Otherwise he'll have a growth spurt and find himself in short shorts and midriff bearing tops. Not that there's anything wrong with those, but they don't seem to be very much to our prince's taste.
---
Axel: Roxas. *is glaring at the direction Demyx left as he gets to his feet*
Kintarou: Aeri! Prim! Emmy! *happy day :D! jumps up and gives Aerith a hug, though keeps himself from tackling*
Axel: *stops short when he sees Aerith there* Well, er....
no subject
Tseng: That is for Sir Rufus to decide. *still looking pointedly at Hervey to make him sweat*
Lucas: *would mutter, but was taught to talk clearly even when embarassed. So he looks straight into Sigurd's eyes, speaking calmly* I just remembered that it's unsightly for a prince to argue with a pirate, even if our family promotes down-to-earth attitudes in the royal members. Setsu would have had an ulcer from my previous attitude.
---
Hatori: *vocally scolding Ayame even as they leave* You've sewn something similar for the prince last season already, Ayame. In fact, his wardrobe is filled with only that.
Zack: *isn't as concerned about Seph as Billy is and just gives the priest a reassuringly(??) calm baibai grin, then turns to the General like a good (if sneaky) soldier* Sephiroth sir, what can I do for you?
---
Roxas: *still giggling some (tho he'll deny having giggled later on) 'cos that was SO priceless!* H-h-hi... *tries to take a calming breath, but gets another eyeful of the drenched Axel and goes on laughing all over again*
Aerith: Hello Kintarou. *smiles and hugs him back with her free arm as the other one hold that flower basket of hers* Good afternoon, Roxas, Axel. What have you boys been doing?
Esmeralda: *looks up at Kintarou calmly again*
Primera: ... *reaches to Kintarou and tugs at the hem of his shirt*
