[EVENT] Boat Building Log

Who: France, Portugal, and YOU!
When: September 24th, all day
Where: North of the island, in various locations in the Rose District and the Docks
What: France and Portugal are implementing their boat plan into action. People help build a completed boat!
Warnings: Probably some mild language (either from hitting hands with hammers or minions stealing supplies).

(( ooc: All threads should be organized under the three threads below! You may lock threads as needed, or keep them open to everyone, it's up to you!

The Supply Gathering thread is for those characters who are going to be imagining up building supplies and nails and hammers and the like, in order to send them to the docks! You will be managed under Francis/France, who will be flitting from house to house to make sure people are summoning the right parts. When things start getting stolen, he'll also start summoning missing parts to try and make up for lost time.

The Building thread is for those characters who are going to be actually creating the boat on the docks! Occasionally, characters from the supply gathering camp will come and deliver things to you guys! You'll be managed under Afonso/Portugal, who will be making sure you're building according to his blueprints. Also be sure to look out for those pesky minions who will be stealing supplies and bogging down the boat-making process. Someone may have to start guarding the supplies, but you'll also have to hurry on the boat!

Lastly, the Provision Gathering thread is for after the boat is built. This is for helping summon weapons and food and storing it into the hold of the ship. These weapons can later be used in the fight against the minions later, but any guns will have a very limited ammo supply because the minions will catch everyone by surprise! Any actual fighting of the minions will be carried out in the log posted on the 4th of April.

If you have any questions about the boat building, you may post HERE and I will get back to you ASAP! ))

Well.... this was a first.

He never thought he'd ever have to actually help with this kind of thing, building a boat. It was all to get away from a place he's been stranded at with several other people. That's definitely the kind of thing you find in stories. Amakusa has a couple nails in his mouth, and he's using the hammer in his hand to beat the nails into the wood, making sure he's following the blueprints accordingly, actually listening to authority for once.

Ange.. wasn't much help with building itself, really. She had mostly been helping with getting material, since she was pretty helpful with that, but she was neither particularly strong nor really handy with building things (as expected of the daughter of a rich family) so she was more just watching during this point of the building process.

After all, it was only normal for a bodyguard and client to stick together at all times, if not just most of the time, right? So there was nothing weird about her sitting on the docks for a while as she watched him work. It was actually pretty funny almost to see him following orders for once, considering Ange more than anyone knows what he's actually like.

"I don't think I've ever seen you work this hard, Amakusa."

Amakusa took the nails out of his mouth, putting them down for a second. He looked over at her with that usual smirk on his face. Damn, he was helping out an she was just sitting there? He almost wanted to say something, but he should know better than to expect some heavy lifting from miss priss herself.

He takes off his hat, reaching up and wiping his forehead with the back of his hand, "yeah I haven't worked this hard in forever. Even being on the battlefield is more of a breeze than this. Physical labor like this just isn't my thing... can't I slack off a little? Maybe you can get me something to drink?"

Hey, she had at least contributed something so far. And she would probably go and help out with getting more supplies in a bit, since.. this is something important. Even if there's still something unsure about it, this is the way they can get off the island, so the sooner it's ready, the better. It was just funny to sit here for a moment too and watch him work for once as well while resting.

"Definitely no slacking off allowed this time." Ange was idly trying to dip her feet in the water a little as she spoke, even if summer was already gone and autumn was starting to set in. "If you're good enough, I might consider getting you a drink, so.. work hard, okay?" Hey, this was just payback for all those times he had been teasing her. It was only fair.

Amakusa looks down at her, and he just sighs and shakes his head, that smile still on his face. He shrugs lazily at her words before he puts those nails back in his mouth, positioning another one before he starts to hammer it into the wood.

"I'm being told what to do by such a little lady.... I can't believe this, I'm totally < uncool > now," and he hammers away still.

"Do I at least get a kiss after this is done? Y'know, I need some incentive to keep going~!"

Yup, totally uncool. But all of this was still amusing to her, and.. somewhat nice, almost, either way. It was like she was almost normal while she was sitting here watching her boyfriend work.. As if normally he wasn't her bodyguard and they weren't chased by yakuza all over the place. As if they were almost normal, despite the weirdness of this place as well.

But of course he had to bring up kissing again, which made Ange look around them very quickly to make sure nobody else was really nearby at this particular moment. The last thing she wanted was for everyone to find out about their relationship at this moment, so she just glared at him for a moment and attempted to hush him. At least it seemed safe enough, though, so the glare faded only slightly.

"Do you really think you'll get one that easily?"

Normal? The two of them? That was practically impossible, and he knew that. Even though he had a feeling she just wanted to be some normal girl- something always happened when the two of them were around one another. In a sense, Amakusa enjoyed such a thing, he liked to have new things happen- unpredictable situations were the most interesting.

It was probably why he was so attracted to her, she wasn't just a normal girl.

"I could steal one too you know...." and he continued to hammer away.

"As if." She didn't even look at him when she said that much, instead staring out over the docks. In the distance a few other people were working on a piece of the boat too.. Would they really be able to get away from this place after all this time now? She wasn't sure, but..

"I'm sitting over here, and you're standing there." She just said it very matter-of-factly. "By the time you get over here, I'll be long gone. No way you can steal a kiss from me."

....Was that a challenge? Did Amakusa just hear a challenge? Why, he definitely did. Amakusa set down the hammer and nails, and jumped off of the platform he was on, and on to the docks, stalking closer to Ange.

"Oho! Now I'm over here and you're still there!" YOU WON'T WIN!

WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT, AMAKUSA.. considering the fact that Ange was starting to stand up as well now. Sure, what she was about to do was ridiculous, but anything was fair game when it came down to these kinds of near teasing competitions with this guy. Still, she managed to keep her expression deadpan at the very least.

"Really, am I?"

And with a slight shrug she started running in the opposite direction across the docks - away from him, that is.

...Is this really happening?

Ah- this was really similar.... to that time before. Wasn't he running from her because he wanted to investigate but she wouldn't let him do it alone? He smirks and then takes off after her as well! She's damn fast though!

"Lady you're being childish, hyahaha! Stop being so < uncool >!" he just really wants to tease her, that's about it.

Of course Ange was rather fast, she had gotten a lot of practice back home with running from Sumaderas by herself at first - and with trying to hide from the bullies in school too. Not that Amakusa wasn't a good chaser, he had been trained for stuff like this, after all. But Ange's stubbornness combined with her running abilities was enough to at least keep herself ahead of the guy. She definitely didn't plan on losing this little.. whatever it was of theirs.

"Says the guy who's running after me just as fast, right?" Yeah, she knew she was being childish, but.. both of them were in this moment, really. Ange was at least keeping out of the way of other people as she ran, the last thing she needed was for a lot of other people to notice this too and start thinking things.

He briefly wondered what people would even say when they saw this- some older guy, who is supposedly her bodyguard, literally chasing her around the docks. Well, he figured he would get more comments about how much of a creep he was...

Oh well.

Amakusa figured he'd give her a couple more moments to think she's faster than him and then- he just moves quicker than before, able to sprint faster and he's GAINING REALLY FAST ANGE OH NO.

"Hyaha! Yeah but I need to catch my client- this is just like when you ran from those guys and jumped a staircase!"

Oh god, oh man, he was coming closer.. She knew he was more skilled than her at this, but she figured she would at least be able to keep ahead for a little more..!! So Ange just tried to run faster and faster, anything to stay out of his reach for now.

"Oh, so if you catch me, you're going to do something horrible to me too?" Yeah, like kissing her, that would definitely be the end of her if it was in public..!! If she could at least run somewhere more secluded, that would already help a lot. Besides, this was different from running from those bodyguards either way. They were running for another person's cause, but.. Amakusa was only in it for himself, so of course he was more motivated and she knew it.

For a moment she nearly tripped over an uneven piece of ground, but she managed to make it through okay, quickly running on.

Amakusa, open to everyone!
