"Well then if you are joining I will to then I guess" Duke says putting his hand on his head as he laughs in front of a Aerissa."WHHAAATT,are you seroius,what abo.." Duke slaps his hand infront of taylor mouth then says "excuse me let me talk to my friend here for a sec" then pulls taylor to the side turning his back to Aerissa and the other male."Taylor don't worry it be perfectly fin an","what about becoming shichibukai" Taylor said whispering "don't worry,do you realize this is a great way to become one by defeating joker,turning him in or giving info about him to the government,they would love get as much chance as him as I,understand" Duke whispers back to Taylor with a smile.

"Oohh,wow duke your clever but you know beating joker and escaping his ship of pirate will not come easy" Taylor said rubbing his hands together in front of him as he grins at duke."I know that also that's why just in case you are coming with me" Taylor sits in silence as he absorbs what duke told him."WWHAAT!" taylor says out loud to duke with a psycho crazy look on his face "Taylor stop being so loud and don't worry as i said we got each other back understand" duke extends out his hand to Taylor for a firm agreement.

Taylor looks at duke for a moment then shakes his hand "If your wrong your paying for my doctor bill if we live to tell about it" duke then laughs at Taylor as he then turns back to Aerissa."So where are you going after this" duke said having his arms behind behind his head a in relaxation.

OOC: before I post, I think we should make OOC and IC in separate area's.

Yea good idea!

(Done. Since I've done so, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd all place your character sheets there as well.)

Leo sat alone in a restaurant with piles upon piles of empty plates in front of him. He ate now stop this would be about his fourth hour of none stop eating and you could see it very easily. His once skinny body was now a hole lot bigger. The chef starred at Leo in disbelief at how much this strange red haired man was eating and drinking, it seemed as if he would never stop. When the chef was finally fed up with giving food to Leo he walked over and told Leo to leave. Leo threatened that he would destroy the building if the chef made him leave. Afraid of losing his restaurant the chef said that Leo didn't have to pay. "Alright" Leo said getting up and waddling out of the restaurant. He looked down at his bloated body and smiled. "Well seems like I need a crash diet" Leo said as he stretched his mouth out and ate his body. His lower jaw was left and began to bounce around town blindly unsure of where he was going or what was going on. He really just need to waste a little time to lose the weight.

Aerissa's sharp eyes looked up and down the two men, suspicion flashing. They didn't look anything like pirates, she didn't even think they looked remotely bad. "Then again, neither do I." A small laugh escaped her lips as the thought entered her mind. "That's good, at least then I won't be the only person boarding the Joker's ship. There's less chance I'll be shot down if I'm not the only new recruit." Aerissa flashed her best devilish smile, hoping she could get the hang of being a bad girl quickly. She thought it was sort of fun. "Not I understand why Pirates do this. Not only because they CAN do it, but because it's fun!" As she was about to answer the two men, her eyes fell on an enormous man. "The hell..?" Her eyes grew wide and her face paled as he ate himself. "Oh my god..." Aerissa shook her head, as if trying to shake the memory from her. "Jesus...." She swallowed and turned her attention back to the two men. "To my home probably, or maybe I'll take a walk. But what are your names? I know one of you is Duke."

((Once y'all get to page 4, I'll call y'all to the ship. Once we get to page 4, it'll be like 2 days later type thing.))

Orius finished his food and pushed the plate away. That girl, he thought her name was Aerissa, had been right when she said the chicken here was good, he hadn't had a good meal in awhile, so he liked to savor them whenever he got the chance. He stood up and stretched with a grin, in a better mood now that he was full. He was going to listen to the conversation going on next to him for a little longer, but then he heard a crash outside, which also seemed to draw the attention of the girl next to him. He turned around and looked out the door, then walked out, deciding to check it out.

Upon stepping outside, Orius was greeted by the sight of a huge man bouncing around inside his own jaw, crashing into things left and right as the crowd ran for cover. He leaned to the side as the man ball whizzed by him and turned, following it's path with his eyes. "Another one? Is this town full of Devil Fruit Users?" he wondered as a stand on the street was destroyed in commotion.

After a few minutes of this, Orius stepped into the path of the man ball and pulled his foot back. "Fire in the hole!" he yelled, then swung and blasted the man with his foot like a giant kickball, knocking him up into the air and hopefully out of the town, or at least off the street. "Home Run!"

Oh sorry we didn't introduce ourselves,I'm duke as you know,loner pirate an a fruit user like you" Duke bows he head to her like she was royalty to be funny then stretches his hand out toward his friend" An this is Taylor,he since childhood and excellent gunman" Taylor then stepping on also bowing to aerrsia "Nice to meet you your power is very interesting an would like to see more in the later future together" Taylor raising his head now an starts to lean is shoulder on Duke.
Duke sitting there talking to Aerrisa quickly from the side of his vision notice a large man around as he walks outside the bar then disappear leaving his jaw behind moving "What the.." Duke is still disputed then turned his his head back at Aerrisa to keep from throwing up."So well if you want how about we take a walk like you said for a little for some fresh air shall we" Duke to the having his face still look at Aerrisa.An also what is your name you" Duke yelled in the bar at the dude standing outside the door that just kicked the jaw.

Leo felt someone or something kick him while he was in his jaw but ignored it thinking it was nothing. He flew threw the air not realizing anything. When he was finally done changing his body back he spit himself out and noticed that he was flying. "O crap... this cant be good" He said as he looked around trying to figure out where he was going to land. He flew for a few more seconds than finally came crashing down inside someone's house. He got up and dusted off his cloths and looked around noticing that he had interrupted the people who lived there's meal. "Um... sorry about that... i'll just be going" He said ignoring the smell of there food as he quickly left. "That was close" he said quietly to himself as he looked over his body for anything that seemed like a bad wound. All he could see was that he had a few cuts and bruises but nothing to serious. When he was finally done he began to walk around hoping to find someone or something of interest.

Orius watched the jaw fly through the air with a hand shading his eyes, whistling at the distance. "Wow, got some pretty good distance on that one." he said, cringing when the object changed into a man and crashed into a house. "Oops...oh well. I'm sure he's fine." He turned at the sound of someone calling out to him from the bar and scratched the side of his head. It looked like one of those two guys who'd been talking to Aerissa before.

"My name's Orius. You three are joining Joker's Crew right? I guess that means we'll be shipmates for awhile. Though...you guys seem a little wet behind the ears." he said, seemingly oblivious to the stares he was getting from publically announcing his intentions to join a feared pirate's crew. He turned away, tapping his sword hilt in thought. "I better go scavenge what I can from my old boat."

With that, he started walking back towards the docks where all the ships were, trying to remember if he had anything important left besides his swords that might be on the boat.

Aerissa nodded to the two men, making sure Alex had all of his money. "Thank you Alex. Your chicken tastes as good as ever. Tell your wife I said hi will you?" Alex swallowed and nodded. "I can't believe he's giving me that look. It's not like I've actually hurt anyone. The threat I gave earlier was obviously empty." She stood, looking at Duke and Taylor with a smile. "Duke, Taylor. A walk sounds like a wonderful idea. I'd love to show you around. But be a tad careful, after a Joker scare like that, the locals aren't going to be very happy with any out of towners." With that, she started for the door, motioning for the boys to follow. Her ears twitched as she walked, picking up the whispers about her. "Not that I care, not in the slightest. Let them think whatever they want. When I get a share of One Piece, they'll all be begging me for a bit of it." A laugh bubbled to her lips as she thought of One Piece once more. "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum." Aerissa's gait became more exuberant as she started up her song again.

Watching as aesirra heads to the door duke start to follow her saying " alright then,but we aren't going to be out of towners for much long since we are leaving" Duke puts on a smile as he can slightly hear aerrisa humming in front of him."Do you think she is safe to trust duke she did say she steal a lot you know " Taylor right behind duke with a kind-of worried looking at all the money in his pocket.

"Taylor you worry too much just relax,I'm sure she won't steal from us since we're going to be crew mates" Duke looking at Taylor "She stole from her own neighbors what makes you think she wouldn't steal from the lights of us" Taylor says now with a angry face at duke for being so unknowing."first because I'm a nice guy and second because she is going to have a hell of a time getting away from even if she at turn into a panther" duke with a cocky smile on his face has he pushes the bar door open to the bright sun light.

Looking over her shoulder, Aerissa motioned for Duke and Taylor to hurry along. She was being nice since they would soon be shipmates, but she still wasn't forming any attachments. After the deaths of her parents and her grandmother, she refused to do so any longer. "Come on you two! This may be a small town, but there's a lot to see!" She had no intentions of showing them her house however. Since they WERE joining Joker's crew, she bet they wouldn't hesitate to steal her treasure from her. Aerissa continued to skip down the street, singing quite loudly. Her gentle voice was sweet, pleasing to the ears.


"Fifteen men of the whole ship's list
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there they lay, and the soggy skies
Dripped down in up-staring eyes
In murk sunset and foul sunrise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Ten of the crew had the murder mark!
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!"

Still making her way along the street, Aerissa grinned, making a sharp left turn towards the local market.

Orius had walked back to what remained of his boat at the docks and was now rummaging around inside it. "Hmm...not much here...must have lost most of the food during that storm." he muttered as he looked inside an empty barrel, then set it aside. "Oh well. I'm sure Joker has...'liberated' enough supplies for everyone in his crew. Guess I'll just have to hope he doesn't poison it as a gag."

The swordsman stepped off his vessel, probably for the last time, and laid one hand to rest on his blades. "Joker said he'd be leaving town in two days...that's a lot of time to kill. Wonder what there is to do around here?"

He scratched the side of his head as he tried to think of something to do, when the sound of loud singing reached his ears. He turned and saw Aerissa and the two guys from before, and the girl was the one singing. Orius couldn't help but smile at the dulcet tones drifting down the street. She had a nice voice. "Ah well. I guess hanging out here for a few days won't be so bad."
