The Misadventures of George and Crew

[The Mockingjay]

There were less people than usual, the beach was surprisingly quiet and those who were there were not in the water... They were muttering amongst themselves and looking at her. Her, and the village... She couldn't see it from her seat (a different seat to usual..), but it was clear something was going on. Were the men okay? Had she even asked there names? For them to die... Still strangers... No. It was impossible. They said they would take her away, and she believed them.

She looked into the ocean before the beach people became noticeably more bothered and upon turning, she saw the men running... Well, one of them was running. Toward her, hurtling toward the beach at great speeds, and being chased closely by... The village? She knew there were secrets... But could it really be so serious.

She snapped her fingers and headed to the sea, in the shallows, she called to them.

"Quick, this way!"

By the time she had called, the village people had stopped there chase... But she still felt uneasy. She made no further step into the ocean, but stayed alert... Her fingers primed.

Sharrkan ignores the fish girl and just gives her a look, he does however hear the person he was looking for and runs towards her, sweeping her up onto his spare shoulder. Now carrying both of them.

"Gonna need your gift in a sec, don't waste it here."

He slides along the sand and changed direction, leaping up the wooden planks onto the dock, dodging passed crates of fish and other exotic sea life. He takes another turn and steps onto a single plank and onto the deck of a ship - it wasn't ready, like the villagers said it wouldn't be unless they prepared it. Sharrkan lets go of both George and the girl.

"Okay, call your buddies so they can push us away from this place!"

He runs over to the side of the boat and looks over, he makes a irritated sound and starts hauling the Anchor in with all his strength.

He suddenly feels the weight become lighter as George begins to help him with all the strength that he can muster.

 

[The Mockingjay]

She clicks. And not only does the boat start moving, but the anchor becomes near weightless for him as he receives help from below. This time, it is not sharks... It was whales, a shoal of humpbacks had gathered behind the boat, boosting it from deep below the oceans surface completely out of danger themselves as long as they stayed at that depth.

She snapped again. Normality resumed, the humpbacks call echoed through the air. And the girl smiled. Breathed in a lung full of fresh sea air and ran to the boats side, she stared back at the village, and then into the sky. From the sky, she returned to the village. Then she realised... That was not the way to look. That was in the past... What she longed for, was what was in front of them... Beyond the sunset. And it is in this direction that she stared, for what seemed like an eternity.

Freedom. <3

--------
I wanted that to be sooo much longer... But I'll save you guys the wallies xD

 

[Never]

Sharrkan hits the deck and lies down, breathing heavily, looking at the sky. He then averts his attention to the Girl, she was looking over the side of the boat and looked like she was enjoying the adventure already.

"You alright?" he said laughing slightly.

 

[Tsuna...]

George runs to the stern, jumps onto the wooden railing, standing on his two feet, he begins to wave two fingers at the village. "YOU COULDN'T HAVE JUST GIVEN US THE BOAT... NOOOOOOOOOOOO WE HAD TO STEAL IT! YOU BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES!" George roars at the top of his lungs, grins widely and then hops back down, returning to the main deck.

 

[Deliciae]

Rosabella tilts her head to the side in astonishment as the man sweeps a girl off her feet as if she was light as a feather and unexpectedly leaps onto a boat.

She smiles a bit, they were an odd group of people. She slightly, timidly waves goodbye to the once life-guard female. She could tell she was free.

Her gaze never shifts... Her heart never falters.

"It's beautiful."

She was still. Her calmness radiated from her every pore and her body became a picture of pure serenity. The girl, the boat, the sunset and the world... No matter who tried, and no matter how many times.. She knew now, no painting however good and no song however soulful could truly capture the light of this moment.

George crashes onto the main deck, landing gracefully on both feet, he turns to face the girl from where he is standing at the middle of the deck. "Tell us your name." Said George.

She turns, revealing her face, glistening under what remains of the suns light. Glistening, because it is wet. Her eyes are lakes and her cheeks their rivers.

"Lólita."

She runs to each of them individually, starting with the closest. Giving them a hug and the warmest, most heartfelt 'thank you' imaginable.

Sharrkan stands up to receive his hug, "Hey no problem, there is nothing like Passion for adventure." He wipes her cheeks with his hand.

She smiles again before heading toward a door with stairs into a lower deck.

"Yeah... Now if you don't mind. I think I'm going to get some sleep."

She curtsies, involuntarily. Before dropping down the stairs and finding an empty room where she makes a bed out of some free hay bails.

During the hug, George pats her head and says, "It's nice to finally meet you, Lólita." George said soothingly. "Enjoy your freedom at last." He lets go from the hug and walks to the bow of the ship staring out at the horizon, thinking to himself.

Sharrkan walks up behind him and sits on the side of the boat, "Kinda sucks we had to leave everything behind."

"It shouldn't be a problem, wherever we end up next we should be able to get the supplies we need." George didn't break stare from the horizon, he was completely immersed in the feeling of returning to the sea. Yet, he couldn't keep Keisuke out of his head. He was diving back into the life that his friend pulled him from. He did not allow this to show on his face.

"True, and hopefully they're a lot less freakier haha." He leaps off the side and starts walking away, "I'm going to check the ship to see if we have anything of use at least - but from what I've seen she's empty."

"Sara... Her name's Sara." George sounded nostalgic in his words.

 

[AMystery]

"Sara... Her name's Sara." George sounded nostalgic in his words.

Sara? Was a silly name for a creaking death trap. *Vera had jumped out the water behind the new crew, just as they started to turn...* boo. *she pushes George into the water, grabs lolita and jumps back into the water, swimming back to the village at great speed*

George sensed her presence whenever she came close to the boat, he didn't know how he was doing it but he could feel her movement. He didn't allow this to show in what he was doing, he prepared and as soon as he sensed that she was jumping up onto the boat he used his flames to extend his hand in one shot. Once she appeared over the wooden railing he got a death grip on her throat and in a second he pulled her close, right to the middle of the deck where he was standing, no chance in his grip loosening. "What do you think you're doing?"

*her sharkskin begins to show suffering as it's dried by the flame, but she smiles all the same, shooting sea water from her mouth to put out his flames, wrapping herself around him and pulling him back into the water*
