arcanarumlogs | [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! ))

America lept over a hedge after barely dodging a claw swiping at his head. "What?! Come on, kiddo! You're supposed to be freaking out when I'm doing this hero thing! Kinda like good bear here! Hey wait-" The small cub struggled in America's arm before letting out another cry, causing the larger bear to roar again. He quickly looked over his shoulder for a moment then back at the small bear. "Aw man! Don't tell me that's your mom or something!? Dude, that's not cool, I'm not supposed to be the bad bear- I mean, guy! Whoa, kid, don't bite, I'll put you down in a sec!"

Unfortunately, going at his momentum, America winds up dropping the cub before tripping, spinning trying to catch his balance, and both he and Nepeta slide off a ledge and into a small pond. Within moments, he resurfaces with a loud gasp. "BWAGH! Ptoo! Ugh! Hey, Nepeta?! Nepeta!?"

Perhaps it was America who had a lot to learn, then. But Nepeta would paw and hiss at him later when she wasn't struggling to stay afloat.

She had never been taught by her lusus how to swim because there was never any need to. Even if the pond wasn't all that deep, it was still kind of scary and her cat instincts were kicking in. "America! Gah--!" Nepeta flailed in the water, trying to grab onto where she though America might be.

At the sound of her cry, America quickly freestyles himself to where she floundered. "Hold on, Nepeta! I'm right here! I gotcha! Calm down, it's gonna be alright!" He scooped her onto his chest while he swam backwards towards the shore. When his feet touched the bottom, he was able to climb out of the water still carrying his smaller friend.

"Phew! Maaan, that was crazy! Hey, hey, are you okay? Didja swallow a lot of water, kiddo?"

Nepeta ~~then hacked up a hairball on his shoulder~~ coughed, making a sound that was something between a hiss and a wheeze to get the water out, and held onto him with all her might. Even when they were safely on land she clung to America with no intention of letting go.

"Americaaaat," she whined. "Don't do that again!" She was not going to dignify his question with an answer, apparently.

America could only give her an apologetic grin. They were both still sopping wet, but he figured her outburst was a sign that she was going to be okay. "Sorry about that! Guess I totally failed on that plan, huh? It's okay, we'll have next tim- ATCHOO!" He turned away from her to sneeze.

"Oh man, we better change before catching something! Sucks if you're on a boat and you're sick, y'know?" He was about to set her down when a thought hit him. "Hey, how about a free ride back, Nepeta? I'll get you back to your place with my awesome superhero speed! And uh, it'll kinda make up for that surprise dive back there, ha ha ha!"

Despite being grumbly and wet - WET AAGGH - still, Nepeta was happy that there was a plan for a next time at all. This was the most fun she had had while being at Arcanarum so far.

America was not going to get off so easily, though. She was still clinging tightly, and he would have ended up giving her a ride back whether he had asked or not. Nepeta nodded to his offer. "I would like that verry much."

And so they rode back to the building site, thus ending their grand adventure.
