Laharl gazed into the sky...laying here was getting nowhere...the clouds passed by slowly and his eyes grew heavy. He yawned.
"Hmmm..you seem to have more time to do stuff like this....wish I had this much freetime."

Flonne in the meantime was hiding behind the nearest crate..Laharl and Anna were close...but not close enough..she needed more...more cutesy...She hunkered down and waited..that was all she could do right now.

Anna blinked, unaware of the fact Flonne was stalking them. "Huh? Well... when the ship's sailing places, we have to wait for it to get there."
She crossed her arms, looking up at the sky. "So we end up doing alot of stuff like this inbetween, you know? Usually crazy stuff, like the prank pulling."

"I never get a break..there's always someone there waiting to challenge my claim....so.." He stopped to yawn and his voice faded.
"I..always...gotta...be.......on guard....." With a final attempt to struggle with his eyes...Laharl gave up the fight and faded to sleep.

Anna blinked, looking down at him. Wow, he'd fallen out hard.
She guessed it did have to be a pain for him. Being the Overlord of the Netherworld and all...

Sitting down, Anna crossed her legs and sighed. She'd go to sleep, too, but Martha would beat the snot out of her later.
She didn't figured she'd wake Laharl, atleast for now. Maybe he needed the rest...


Demitri watched from the crows nest, looking frusturated. Nothing of interest yet, he saw. That sucked.

Flonne groaned under her breath and shot a pleading glance to Dimitri...then her face took a turn...no longer did she seem confused...she seemed...happy...she signaled to him for a moment, then crept off to a remote area of the boat.

Demitri raised an eyebrow and followed after. What did this girl have in mind, now?

She'd seemed like a goody two-shoes at first... and he guessed she still was, only a little bit cynical.
Oh, boy.

Flonne giggled as she thought..this was almost too perfect...if they would only stay asleep for a little longer. When she turned she found Dimitri there and she smiled.
"How heavy does Anna sleep? Laharl you almost have to fire off a cannon to wake up. If she sleeps any harder, this could get really interesting....tell me...does any one here have any really girly things that Anna would just hate to wear?" Flonne's mind was a scary thing when she used it for her own purposes.

Demitri paused. "Why, yes. She's a heavy sleeper... and if I'm not mistaken there's actually this dress that Martha got for her. She's never touched it... and she put it back in Martha's room so you should be able to find it in there..."
He could'nt help but laugh. "This should be absolutely epic. I don't want to know what you have in mind, miss Flonne!"

She smiled at him and then pointed.
"Now, see if you can find anything that's really embarrasing for a boy to wear..we're going to snare them both with this web!" She ran off inside heading to Anna's room, this was going to be perfect.

Demitri stood there. Well, a dress would be humiliating for a boy to be seen wearing, too.

He scratched his head, appearing confused. Maybe that orange haired girl had one? She seemed to be about the same size as the tiny Overlord.

Demitri skulked off inside and went looking for the girls room.
It did'nt take him long to hunt it down. By the plaque on the door, apparently everyone just called her '15'. He got inside and looked around... and his find was a good one.
A typical Tortuga bar-maids dress-- frilly and girly to every extent. Perfect.

Flonne raced out minutes later, Anna's dress held in her arms. She ducked behind her crate again and waited for Dimitri....or Anna depending on if the Captain fell asleep before he got there.

Anna had, apparently, already dozed off. It was relatively quiet, now, and Anna was pretty pooped.

Either way Demitri was soon out, the dress draped over his arm. "Will this work?"
He'd noticed Anna was already asleep, so he did'nt really put much effort into staying hidden.

Flonne poked her head out from behind the crate, and smiled.
"Not exactly what I had in mind...but it'll work." She snuck over and lifted Anna as little as she needed to slip the dress over her head and over her clothes as well..they didn't have time to undress, dress, then undress and dress the two again, so she shoved the lacy frilly thing over Anna's head and was done with it. When both were dressed she wrapped one of Anna's arms around Laharl and one of Laharl's around Anna...it was too cute. She stepped back and snapped off a few shots before handing the camera off to Dimitri.
"There, now all that's left is putting these.." She handed him Laharl's dress.
"Back where they came from." She looked back and smiled.
"Mind taking care of Anna for me? There are copies of this picture that need to get out."

Demitri nodded and got to pulling the dress back off of Anna, snickering. The two were going to kill Flonne, he was thinking...

He tossed the dress off the side of the boat; he figured if there was one favor he could do for Anna that would get her off his back later on, it was this.
It would'nt be so easy for poor Flonne, though. He'd have to help her in some way. Laharl could'nt see him, after all.

He really could'nt believe neither of them woke up through the whole thing, though...

By noon copies of the infamous picture was floating around the whole ship, Flonne was right in the middle of it acting innocent of the whole ordeal, even discreetly blushing and turning her head when shown a copy....but really..she already knew what was on the film.

"SOMEONE'S GONNA DIEE!!" Laharl screamed torching a few of the copies as he stood next to Lollie. No matter how many he destroyed, they always came back with a vengance.....seeming to multiply in numbers.

Anna was busy running around, finding as many as she could and tossing them off the ship.

That stupid dress.

Her arm around Laharl!?!

If she found out who was responsible for this, their head was going to be ripped off.
The teenager was absolutely livid, and the crew members were avoiding her.

Martha stood off to the side, snickering as she looked at a copy. "Ah, what a cute couple those two make."
Demitri only sighed, shaking his head. Atleast Flonne was probably pleased with the results. He did'nt imagine she'd ever done anything like this, though...
He blinked, watching as Anna walked up to him, looking nervous and embarassed. "This is terrible. I can say I've played bunches of pranks on people but I don't think I've done anything this bad. Nobody's gonna take me seriously! My reputation's dieing more than I am..."

Demitri blinked, patting her on the head. "You'll live."

Well...she'd live as long as the copies stayed on the ship.
Flonne was enjoying herself immensely, though none of it ever showed. Laharl and Anna were both running around trying to rid themsleves of the pictures, and she watched from on high in the crow's nest, having made some excuse that she needed air. She snickered as Laharl burned another bunch. Now they knew what it was like...maybe it would curb their appetite for prank pulling on others.
"Justice triumphs again!" She giggled kicking her feet as they dangled over the deck.

Abel had picked up one of the copies, looking near to mortified. What horrors had taken place while he took a nap?
He gave a little shudder, simply dropping the picture. He decided it better not to ask or find out what it was or what had happened.

Anna just looked mortified, stumbling out on deck with another armfull of copies. "I can't even take naps anymore without crap happenin'..."
Finally, it hit her.
Flonne.
She dropped the copies, twitching and looking up at the crows nest. "It makes sense. We pranked her earlier so of course... she probably got help but I don't care about that. It must've been her idea."

Satisfied with her deeds for the day Flonne settled with watching the chaos below...completely, and blissfully unaware that she had indeed been found out. She only stared into the blue sky and smiled.

"ANNA!!!" Laharl stomped his way to her.
"WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON!!?" He shoved a new batch that was stashed under a coil of rope on top of the others that she'd dropped and glared at them, his hair and his scarf standing on end.

Anna looked infuriated, glancing towards Laharl and speaking quietly so that Flonne would'nt hear her, by some chance. "I'll tell you what... Flonne. Flonne happened."
Anna counted off the facts on her fingers. "First off, after we pulled that prank on her, she was mad. Second off, she found an accomplice... who, it doesn't matter, she thought of the whole thing. Third... she took the pictures after dressing and posing us. I'm a heavy sleeper, you must be, too. Four, she spreads them around the ship."

Laharl seemed to be put on pause. Everything, even his breathing stopped for a full minute.
"I'm.....going...to kill...her....." He got a twitch in his left eye and he began to shake.
"I'm...really...going to kill her...." He clenched and unclenched his fists wondering what the best way to get rid of a body was.

Anna twitched angrily, as if already getting what he was thinking. "We could throw the body overboard when we get back out at sea. The sharks would eat it. No one would ever know."
Anna could certainly be scary when she wanted to be. She seemed to know far too much about these sorts of things, though...

"Celestia would know." Laharl muttered darkly. He wasn't about to deal with those stupid angels at the cost of his vengance.
"No we can't kill her...as much as we'd like to."

Anna looked extremely peeved. "Then what exactly do we do? We can't just let her walk away from this one, you know! She's gotta get it big time..."
Anna went into 'thinking mode', furrowing her brows. What could she think of that would humiliate Flonne and ruin HER reputation for being a goody-two-shoes?
"Hm..."

Laharl crossed his arms, his eyebrow cocked.
"What now?" He asked dryly.
