I'm on a Boat! IC Thread

[Tichrondrius]

Roland

"Ai, Ai?" Roland calls out. The pop-star runs from one corner of the ship to the other, searching his wayward girlfriend. Eventually, he sees her. Down below deck, near the pool- with Akane and that flirt. "I knew it!" He shouts, searching for a quick way down.

Unfortunately, he didn't mean that quick, and he tripped, falling to the next level of the ship and landing on a chair near Ai. Stretching out on it, he turns over to Ai and tries to shrug it off as cool. "Hi, Hi, Hi."

[Siren]

Ai- Near the Pool

Ai fiddles with her fake cat tail. She seems a little surprised to see Roland all the sudden. She doesn't speak for a couple minutes.

"Do you need a swimsuit? If so I have plenty on board."

[Neon Knight]

Haru Narita

Haru decided to try his luck and see if Ai had forgotten yet. He walked over to Roland. "Hey. How's your scurvy doing? Eating plenty of citrus?"

[DaburaMiyao]

Youko Tsuki

Youko stuck his tongue out at Haru behind Ai's back. "No need, Miss Ai, I have my own swimsuit!" He ripped off his pants, showing really right swimshorts with a nice bulge in them. Youko looks proud.

"Aw, mannn." Youko stared at Akane as she suggested he go with her, in his mind saying please no, please no, please no. He basically cheered when Ai said that he didn't have to go.

"Want me to rub some tanning lotion on you, Miss Ai?" He smiled lustfully.

[Siren]

Ai- Near the Pool

Ai shakes her head and goes out of her funk.

"Yeah I could use someone to rub suntan lotion on me."

Ai lays down on her belly and unties her top. She holds out the lotion.

"Here you go. Put it on my shoulders and back. I can do the rest myself."

[DaburaMiyao]

Youko Tsuki

Youko wiped away a nosebleed and a little bit of drool and squirted the lotion into the palm of his hand. He made sure his hands we stretched so only his palms touched her and not his cat-like claws. He rubbed the lotion in, massaging her gently as best he could without cutting her.

"So, Ai, tell me a little about yourself. I mean the real you, not just the celebrity."

[Tichrondrius]

Roland

"Ai, I don't think you should...." The pop-star was cut off as she untied her top. No matter how many times he saw them... or thought about them. Or saw her back and knew they were on the other side.

"Stand aside, young man, I think this requires a professional bikini inspector." Roland said in a haughtly voice and tried to push the catboy out of the way, squirting lotion on his own hands.

He ignored the little kid, I mean, who honestly brings kids like that on a nice cruise like this?

[Talkkno]

As Roland began to approach, his brazen attempts were stopped, as he a clocking of a pistol appeaing from no where.
"Don't you dare." The former commissar said grimly.

[Siren]

Ai- Near the Pool

Ai sits up some showing more of her bare breasts, but not all. She has a pouty look on her face.

"How is this sunscreen going to get on if one of these young men won't do it for me?"

[Divine Comedy]

Jakeem Zulu

Suddenly, out of nowhere Jakeem Zulu and a black British gentleman burst onto the pool area, with fists flying. The brutal melee swirls quickly through the stunned crowd, until the combatants barrel through Ai, sending her flying into the pool. The melee then continues with chairs and decorations being thrown everywhere. The combatants vanish below deck, leaving everyone stunned.

Ai- In the Pool

Ai flies in one direction. Her top flies in another direction. The chair she was on flies in another direction. Since there was no warning and no time to concentrate, as Ai hits the water her legs turn into a tail. Ai has turned into a full fledged mermaid. Ai looks down in horror. She looks up at the people all around.

None of you knew she was a mermaid. Except Akane since they were close childhood friends. That even means you Tichrondrius.

[Tichrondrius]

Roland

Too concerned with the pistol in his face, Roland turns to face the obviously insane commissioner. "Is sun screen against the law now?" He shouts, then takes a deep breath.

"Then take this!" He says, before launching into a melody. He begins to snap his finger to a certain rhythm, known only to him. Then he opens his mouth.

"It's tearing up your body when I blast you, and when you are dead you'll know it's true!"

Haru Narita

Haru crouched down by the pool. "Wow. Don't see that everyday."

[Cpt. Soup]

Akane cringed into herself for a moment. That bloody rapper came out of nowhere, not even enough time for her to get outraged before it happened. Bad enough she had to seethe and watch those two scumbags be with Miss Ai; now the big secret was out and she'd have to kill the witnesses and spend a good amount of time cleaning up all trace of foul play. Thinking about cleaning reminded her; those rooms still had to be cleaned. If she killed them now they would be understaffed and she'd have to do it all herself, that was a big job for one person.

She relented her homicidal plan for the moment; besides, she still had to get Miss Ai's approval. Miss Ai.. oh thats right! Miss Ai was still in the pool!

Akane bolted up out of the chair and her train of thought.

Miss Ai! Are you hurt!?

[DaburaMiyao]

Youko Tsuki

Youko stared around at all of the chaos swirling around him.

WHAT THE F***!? MERMAIDS, GUNS, ANGRY BLACK MEN...

Youko bolted to the pool. "Ai! Are you okay?" Youko jumped into the pool after her, not thinking that she probably wasn't drowning.

He wrapped his arms around her, "accidentally" brushing them against her breasts. And then again. And again.

"What should I do?" He looked up at Akane for help.

Ai- In the Pool

"It is ok guys. I can't get out myself. Don't freak out Akane. We will just have to change the plan now. I have a new plan already. Akane and Captain go collect the others. I need to tell a story and explain everything."

Ai pushes herself out of the pool.

"I will be like this for a little while. I really could use some sun screen guys."

Ai looks at the catboy and Roland.

[Neon Knight]

Haru Narita

Haru was, of course, already there. And eager to please annoy.

"Soooooo, are you some kind of freaky fish gal? Have you ever been to an octopus's garden? Can you talk to whales?"

[Cpt. Soup]

Akane works her jaw for a moment before turning to comply with Miss Ai's order. She leaves the pool area to collect the others. As for who the others are exactly, Akane's player isn't sure if it means the other PC's or the entire crew, but Akane herself has a good idea of what she meant and complies with the order.

Anyone close by might hear Akane muttering something to herself about sunscreen and water.

[DaburaMiyao]

Youko Tsuki

"Of course, right away." Youko has a slight nosebleed as he stares at Ai's chest, then quickly begins to rub lotion in everywhere he can on her back before any of the other guys interrupt again.

[Tichrondrius]

Roland

Pretty confident that the weirdo that causes trouble for no reason was dealt with, the pretty boy clears his throat and surveys the scene. He rubs his fingers over his nose and sniffles lightly.

"So, Ai, when were you going to tell me you were a mermaid?"

[Neon Knight]

Haru Narita

"Probably after she dragged you to her undersea kingdom to spend all of eternity beneath the waves." Haru said happily, absolutely tickled by this turn of events. "Oh, hey, do you know what this means? Ia! Ia! C'thulhu fhtagn!"

[Siren]

Ai

Ai looks uncomfortable about the question.

"I was going to tell you when it became important. It isn't like you ever asked me if I was a mermaid. I was not going to drag you under the waves though. I would have asked if I wanted you to come under water with me."

Ai stares daggers at Haru.

[Neon Knight]

Haru Narita

"Aw, is that anyway to look at a poor orphaned boy?" Haru said cheekily. "Say, have you ever been to Davy Jones Locker? If you eat fish, does that count as cannibalism? Do androids dream of electric sheep?" Haru shrugged. "That last one doesn't have anything to do with you being a mermaid, I've just always wondered."

[Siren]

Ai

"I don't think this is any way to talk to your adopted mother, so I will look at you any way I please. No about Davy Jones Locker. We don't really think about whether it is cannibalism. Not many other things to eat down there. If you want to know about Androids you should talk to my friend Chiyo. I think you are being way too curious. Don't you need to take a nap?"

Ai looks like she really believes that last statement.

[DaburaMiyao]

Youko Tsuki

Youko massaged Ai's back through the conversations, flinching as Roland walked by for fear of being beat up or something.

"I hope I'm not being too curious or bold in asking, but were you born this way?" He continued rubbing her back. "I wasn't born a catperson, so I was just wondering."

[Neon Knight]

Haru Narita

"Nope. As a matter of fact, I feel so lively, I could just sing!" Haru slung his guitar off his back. "But instead, I'll just play a song. A serenade for the queen of the sea!"

Haru began to play a merry tune, grinning at AI like the cat that had eaten the canary.

[Tichrondrius]

Roland

"Ai..." Roland sighed, she kept too much from him. He cast a glare over at the little boy again. How annoying was he? Man. "If you say one more thing you're going overboard without a raft, kid." The pop star said, trying to pick him up by the back of his shirt.

Haru Narita

Haru let himself be lifted into the air. "You're just jealous of my great skill with a six-string."

[Siren]

Ai

"I was born this way. Both my parents are mermaids too. In fact the whole reason I am in show business is because of them."

Ai turns towards Roland holding the kid up.

"Oh Roland you sure know how to impress a girl."

[Neon Knight]

Haru Narita

"Because lifting a small child is the absolute epitome of heroics." Haru shifted a bit in Roland's grasp. "Hey, if my clothes get all stretched and wrinkled, it is totally his fault."
