Anna sighed. "Wow, that IS annoying..."
She rested her head against the edge of the crows nest, looking tired. "Flonne's kind of annoying, but I've enjoyed having you and your vassals around the ship... even if you did blow of a chunk of my ship." Laughing, Anna looked back at him, a grin on her face. "Obviously it wasn't anything your vassals could'nt fix, though. So I don't guess I'll hurt you for it." Anna placed her arms behind her head, yawning. Obviously she was tired and it was for even more obvious reasons, since Martha was always sure she was up early. Way earlier than she'd like to be, admittedly. (Ah, finally, another Lamington fan! I thought he was awesome but not alot of others did. This'll be weird but I honestly do not like Etna that much! I only play her because I'm better with sarcastic characters. You like Demitri, eh? I'm glad! I need to get something better drawn of him. He came out looking way more like L from Death Note than I intended, though... As soon as I do, I'll probably post it in my art thread. I'd also like to get something new and colored of Anna done.) |
He smiled...a smirk really but it was meant well....for Laharal.
"Really? I'll have to charge you then...more than I am already of course...my vassals's services don't come cheap either." He was joking of course...but hey maybe Anna would take him seriously and he could get some compensation out of being locked up in that cage all day. ((Yes, I'm not that far, but I cheatde and bought a book on it XDD I'm doing my best so that I don't get Flonne's tragedy ending D: That would suck to see him die! Frankly.....Etna scares me when she means business....when she's just chucking around Prinnes I don't mind her....but when she gets serious....*shudder* Course...I think I might mind now since I like Abel too XDD Yes!! That sounds awesome! I liked Death Note...well what I read of it XDD)) |
Anna rolled her eyes, getting it was a joke. She hoped it was, atleast. "Hey, no way! I got you out of that cage. I could've just left you in there."
Anna laughed a bit; admittedly she would'nt had left him in the cage either way. "Ugh, she's talking to him again." Demitri looked mad, looking up at the crows nest. Abel looked up at him, vaguely confused. "What?" "Dude, come on.", Demitri said, pouting. "I mean... she used to talk to me all the time, and now she's talking to him." "Well, he is... erm, technically, closer to her age, so I guess they can probably relate on more.", Abel said, holding up a flipper. "He's also the only guy around her age I've ever seen her get along with." A few minutes. Demitri looked down at him blankly. "What are you, a saint?", he said. "It's not like he's cool or anything. I'm cool. I've got wings." Abel looked disturbed. "What have wings got to do with anything, though?" "Wings have to do with everything.", answered Demitri, as if he were completely sure of it. "He doesn't have any!" "I'm so sorry.", Abel said, both flippers reached out as he put on a fake expression of pity. "It's not permanent." "Not permanent my foot. I am so closing that portal after they leave. I am SO closing that portal!" Demitri stomped, and Abel tumbled over, startled. (Ah, I beat it; I hated the ending I got! Laharl died. Well, he came back as a Prinny... which made him even shorter. Nothing seems to work out right for him! XDD I'm also glad you like Abel! I have alot of fun with him and Demitri. They're both opposites so they argue a ton, as this post demonstrated. I liked Death Note, too! Admittedly I only read the first volume, though. I've yet to read any more.) |
He sighed.
"Well I figured it was worth a try." He found himself chuckling as Anna did...oddly their laughs sounding a lot alike.. "So." He started once he had quieted. "What is that thing that keeps hauling up your anchor and scaring Etna much to my amusement?" |
Anna glanced around, looking a bit embarassed. "You might think I'm crazy, but, I guess I'll tell you."
She sighed, figuring she'd be pretty plain with it. "His name's Demitri, he's actually a man with black angel wings. I'd kind of thought of him like an imaginary friend at first, but I found out that a few more of my crew members can see him, but not everyone can. Like, Martha can see him, for example. I don't know why it is, but..." She tapped her chin. "It's strange, though. None of us know what exactly he is..." |
Laharl laughed.
"Well whatever he is as long as he scares the crap outta Etna he's fine by me." Laharl couldn't wait until she freaked out again. He wouldn't be able to help himself, he'd probably end up laughing so hard he'd hit the deck....he grinned at the thought. Vengance at last. |
Anna grinned. "Well, as long as he's got some use, right?"
She looked out over the ocean, sighing. Hopefully they'd be done after a bit, and they could head off again. She did'nt really think there was anything of use on this island. "It'll be a bit of a ride until the next island. I think we might be able to make it there by tomorrow, so, I'd suggest trying to find something to do, until then. I usually play dice with the crew members, but I don't guess you know how to play... there's always the option of playing tricks on people, we do that to eachother often." |
Laharl nodded.
"Well that's one use to get out of him." He said with a smile. He shook his head no to confirm Anna's assumtion. "Now tricks on the other hand are something I can get behind." He smiled wickedly turning to face his companion. "Explain." |
Anna grinned, looking almost wicked as she looked at Laharl. "Well... we've done alot of stuff to eachother. Everything from hiding in places and jumping out to make the other drop something, tripping the other, and even exploiting eachothers fears."
She glanced around; Martha was like a hawk, and she did'nt doubt she could hear anyone from the crows nest. Anna leaned forward to whisper something in Laharl's ear. "Martha's scared to death of rats. You might be able to find one in the bottom of the ship. If it comes down to it one of my crew members has a pet one, and I can get her to let me borrow it so you can use it for a little bit, as long as you don't kill it or something." |
He could have died laughing, this was too perfect...Martha his hated rival, was scared of rats! He crossed his heart.
"I won't kill it I swear." This was going to be fun. "I've got to head down into the bottom, see if I can find a BIG one there. Make up soem excuse for me if anyone comes looking." He was over the rail in a moment and sliding down the mast and headed off into the ship. |
The Captain could'nt help but laugh a bit. He was annoying sometimes but she liked him more everytime she got to talk to him. This was gonna be great.
Anna climbed back down from the crows nest, grinning from ear to ear. Even if her ship had gotten beat up some, she could'nt help but be in a good mood. Anna soon noticed Etna was out on the deck, telling Abel about something. Deciding she'd lend Laharl a hand with this, she walked up to Demitri. "Can I get you to do me a favor?" Abel blinked, disturbed. All he could see was Demitri running at Etna with a bucket. "Um... Dood..." Etna blinked, looking over her shoulder... before spotting a floating bucket. "HOLY CRAP!! WHAT IN THE--" Etna quickly ran past Abel, Demitri still running at her with the bucket. |
((XDD *falls out of chair!!!* Visuals are fun!!))
You know Anna wasn't all that bad once Laharl had gotten to know her a little better. He raced around the bottom of the ship having found the biggest....meanest looking rat there. He grinned hoisting his wriggling captive. "You're coming with me...there's someone I want you to meet." Dagger found Anna on deck and waved to her. "Hey! Deck's finished, we need you to tell Abbie if she's got the furniture right! Then we can get started on your room!" Mint flung herslef over his shoulder smiling. "Yeah, Dagger lost this fight, I finished my side before he did." "Did not!!" "Did so, loser!!!" "Did not!" |
(Talk about it XDD About all I could see with this one was Demitri doing the angry anime-esque face whilst running at Etna with the bucket, and Abel standing there sweat dropping...)
Anna blinked, nodding and attempting to keep herself from laughing at Etna and her new bucket issues. "Oh, alrighty, then." She grinned. "Where's she at? In my room, at the moment?" Martha was currently sitting at the table in the main room, where she was playing cards with one of the crew members. Little did she know her life was about to suck. |
Both warriors paused in their argument to answer at the same time.
"Yeah...well what's left of it anyway." They lead the way Mint still riding on Dagger's shoulders bickering back and forth all the way. Laharl grinned as he spotted Martha in the main room..He quietly slipped the large Warf rat onto the floor and sent it scurrying to the table, ducking out of the ship quickly to enjoy the chaos...outside. ((XDD all the while Etna's flailing and screaming as they race around and around in a circle on deck XDD)) |
Anna, at about the same time, had walked in, spotting the rat. She could'nt help but stop to watch, a grin on her face.
Then the chaos ensued, as soon as Martha spotted it. In what seemed to be under ten seconds, the table was flipped over and Martha was standing on her chair, not just pale, but white, looking about like Anna when faced with a turantula, the long lines of cussing included. The crew member she'd been playing cards with, being the orange haired girl, rolled her eyes and chased after the rat, which was probably as startled as Martha. Outside, Etna had crawled up in the crows nest, completely mortified... when she saw the bucket flying at her. In all reality, it was just Demitri flying up at her with the bucket; in near to no time Etna was scrambling back down the ladder, screaming on the way. |
Laharl was rolling, not only had he been able to watch the scene inside, but he'd caught the tail end of Etna's humiliation, seeing her climb up the mast was worth being hungry for. He clutched his gut unable to keep from crying.
Dagger and Mint stared...this was new...the drill seargeant was scared of a rat? They looked at each other and shrugged. Abbie was waiting, they had to get going so they walked on. |
Anna was cracking up, but she made sure to follow after the two leading her to the room.
Finally, the orange haired kid caught the rat, grinning. "It's sort of cute." "You've g-got to be kidding me! THROW IT OVERBOARD OR SOMETHING!", screamed Martha, squirming slightly. "DUMB RAT! GOD, I HATE THEM!" "Geez, it's not that bad.", said the kid, shaking her head. "I might go ahead and give it to that other guy who's already got the rat..." |
Abbie was waiting in Anna's room with a few borrowed peices of her paper on the floor in front of her, she didn't want to ice up the floor again so she had sketched out roughs of what Anna's furniture might look like ignoring the racket that was going on around her.
|
Anna had just walked into the room. She walked over to Abbie, looking down at the sketch sheets. "Hm..."
The Captain gave her nod of approval. "That'll work just fine. Nothing too fancy or anything." She crossed her arms; this seemed to be some sort of habit she had. "I was worried you were going to go crazy with it. Thank you for asking me first." |
Abbie feigned a look of mortification and looked up at Anna.
"I would never!! I may be a mage and our magic is flashy in and of itself..but I would know what should go in a room and what shouldn't...." She winked. "That and I snuck a peek in Miss Martha's room and went from there." Mint looked down at her. "Miss Martha? You mean the drill seargeant that's freaking out over the rat upstairs?" Abbie looked at her with a giant sweatdrop rolling down her face. "That's what was going on up there...to think I nearly froze the floor into an ice rink...on second thought maybe I should have." |
Anna laughed. It was funny how humans seemed to generalize demons as being completely evil... yet these guys were great.
Heck, even Anna had thought that, since her first experience with one had been with Asylum, but... she took it back, now. "Well, about all our rooms look the same, anyway, pardon whatever we find and put in them to make them stick apart. Mine's got loads of paper, one of the crew members has a pet rat, and one of my old crew members had this poster of a phoenix he picked up from one of the big cities on land." She scratched her head. "I actually had a poster of this videogame I liked alot but I guess it got burnt up..." A short sigh of depression, over that one; but she guessed it was alright. "Is there anything else you needed to ask? If not, I'll get out of you way." |
Abbie mulled over the drawings once more, and shook her head.
"No that's fine, thank you Anna...." She stood and looked to her companins. "Alright you two, time for another round, Dagger since you lost the last one you get first choice of what you want to build." He smirked and glowered at the same time feeling huffy about his recent loss. Mint only smiled assured her victory if he chose the bed. "I'll take the desk and--" "Hey Etna!!!" Laharl called from below the crow's nest. "How's the weather up there!?" He laughed and tried to hide his amusement behind his hand. |
Etna had gotten halfway down the ladder, and climbed back up. She figured she'd be up here for a while. "SHUT UP, PRINCE!!"
Demitri stood there for a minute with the bucket, before chucking it at Laharls head, for no apparent reason other than the fact he felt like it. His ego got on his nerves. Which Anna had walked out in time to see. This made her crack up... alot. Since they hadn't needed anything else from her, she'd decided to come back out on deck... she was glad she did now. |
Laharl heard something, and turned...right into the bucket that was thrown at his face, he fell onto the deck holding his nose.
"OOWWWW!!!!! WHAT THE CRAP WAS THAT!!!???" He yelled placing his finger on his nose and then taking it away over and over to see if he was bleeding. |
Anna snickered madly, before turning away and cracking up again.
Demitri also seemed quite entertained... for that matter so did Etna. Demitri did'nt have to put much effort into pranks. Near to no one was able to see him so he could be right infront of them and they would'nt notice if he did something. Anna walked over to Laharl, grinning. "You're not bleeding, don't worry." Boy, Demitri's got a will of his own, that's for sure. |
