Amira crossed her arms and tapped her lips with a finger. It would be tough, but not impossible. She was confident in her devilfruit powers, and the parasol she held did more than simply make her smell fantastic -- it was also a potent weapon.
Then there was the chef, although she wasn't familiar with his combat prowess.
"If you decide you must have the village on the map, we will get you out of there safely. But this island is inhabited, and therefore warrants a different avenue of approach. I believe rendezvousing with the ship may be the safest and wisest course of action."

"We have deadlines to meet. The captain was reluctant to give me two days as is. Rendezvousing with the ship is not a real option if we are going to then come back, unless we want to be 'marooned' like that prophecy said."

"My suggestion was to call off the mission. The parameters have changed -- this is no longer the task that we had been sent to accomplish. The options before us seem clear: we can either attempt to complete the mission despite the change, which I would say is unwise; or we can return to the shore and locate the ship."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
"I agree with the Ensign. The mission parameters have been changed. The mission should be called off."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
"Fair enough, this island's pretty large, we could still map what we see on our way back though. I'll collect a few plants on our way, try and sketch out what fauna I see."
He seems disappointed, but is willing to go with it.
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Amira nodded. "If we can determine how long it has been since we began this venture, and if we know the heading of the ship after we were dropped off, we can use the map you've already begun to create in addition to some simple mathematics to determine which heading we'll need to go and at what speed. We should be able to get to the water's edge before nightfall, I think, and thus we can get back to the ship then."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
"Yea, sure, I can do that. You get to tell the natives though."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Amira wrapped water around herself, Agar and Twist. "Of course. Twist?" She looked at the cook. "Did you fall asleep again?"
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Twist will wrap himself in Shadows and a second Twist will appear from the twisting shadows. Both Twists respond "If we have to."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Amira looked around. "Varin M'llar, are you still around>" she asked in a loud voice. "We have come to a decision, and you may wish to hear it. Or, if you've left, then I guess you don't. So that's acceptable, too."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
"Yes, ve are still 'ere."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
"We've going to leave your island. Thank you for your hospitality. We will take a few moments to determine where our ship is on the coast, and then move towards it in the fastest manner."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
"Very vell."
You hear a soft rustle in the nearby bushes, and then nothing.
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Twist yawns and gives a half-hearted hooray. "At last this mission is over. What took so long?"
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Amelia ignored the chef. "Navigator, can you perform the necessary cartographical calculations to find the ship?"
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
"Yes."
He looks through his notes, stares into the distance for a moment and then points.
"That way."
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Removing the water shield from herself and Twist, Amira began to cut through the underbrush again in the direction he indicated.
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
The underbrush is just as difficult to cut through as before. You make as good of time as you can, and make it the beach at about sunset. You cannot see the ship anywhere.
Re: One Piece Marines- IC
Amira exhaled, having been put through her paces. "Can anyone see smoke, or wreckage?"

You may notice that I deleted a post before this. I forgot the second L and thus it didn't roll. My apologies.
