PIRATELAND

[cityship]

An area built over a bay, there is no actual solid ground anywhere to be found in Pirateland. It's a land made entirely of wooden walkways, nets to climb, and of course, wooden pirate ships to explore. And then there are the rides: A pirate ship that swings nearly upside down; bumper boats; a ride that starts out as a Tunnel of Love but quickly transitions into a drunken pirate-themed It's a Small World.

And then, of course, there are the souvenirs to buy in the many assorted gift shops. Flimsy plastic swords, pirate hats, stuffed parrots. Or why not go get drunk down at the tavern?

((OOC: Like with Kittenland, feel free to come up with your own rides and attractions at Pirateland in addition to these ones!))

"Of course Captain." He uncrossed his legs and leaned forward, ready to spring out of his chair as well. "Please make it as flashy as possible--it's not really something you have to do, but I'd feel as if we didn't live up to our names unless it was a spectacle. Duty to uphold as a swashbuckler, of course."

She could do flashy! With the full momentum of the ride, she lept forward, using some of her own strength to propel her even farther. Along the way she held on momentarily for a series of long masts and using them to spin around and catapult to the next.

She did this for a small bit of time, enjoying the thrill of it all before performing a series of flips and landing on a crows nest, waiting for her First Mate.

How kind of her to follow his request. He, however, spent little time spinning and more time tempting fate.

As the ship swung up, he hopped up and jumped on the narrow ledge on the side of the boat. Momentum carried him down at a dangerous speed as he slid along the railing, eyes shining with delight. He leapt, then landed on a rope, his feet quickly moving to keep up with the speed he still had from his trip down the boat.

Finally he jumped off the rope, then to one of the long, draping nets that surrounded the buildings. He tilted his head towards the crow's nest Ronnae currently stood in, and grinned assuredly.

Ronnae looked back and smiled as she witnessed her friend's daring 'escape'. One thing she loved about being somewhere else than Azeroth? Everyone underestimated you. Why not? She looked like a timid wallflower and her best friend looked like a goofy elf. Who would ever imagine the things they do on a day to day basis?

What they just did? That was play time. It wasn't even training, specially for someone as experienced as Nokosi.

She gave him a thumbs up and giggled before jumping from the crows nest, doing a few flips mid-air and landing with a resounding crash unto the reinforced dock without even a flinch. All she had was a cheerful smile and a shine in her eyes.

Nokosi ran over to the girl, all smiles. He returned the thumbs' up--a gesture he rarely used--and when he stood next to her, he made sure to strike a heroic pose. One that inspired greatness, charisma and heart (along with looking incredibly goofy), though it was a tad strange on the lanky fellow.

"We have conquered such a thing, even though there was naught in the name of treasure to acquire, Captain. Pray tell, what wondrous vessel shall we be liberating next?" He raised a violet brow in question, and leaned in closely. "Or mayhaps we will be landlubbers for this afternoon and delight in the delicacies of human make?"

Treasure! That's it!

"First Mate Nokosi. You're a genius! A pirate's not a pirate without booty! We shall partake on the games that are held in these lands and earn a booty large enough to cause envy to anyone who hears of it's tale!"

And with that, Captain Ronnae set off towards the games of chance!

He look momentarily surprised, then tried to play it off with loud, assured laughter. "I am glad you realize such a thing, Captain Ronnie! Of course I am!"

Her sudden departure had him scurrying to catch up, thereby ruining the illusion of his grandeur just moments ago. "That is our new directive then, Captain? Then I shall take up this challenge and show that none will ever come close to the skill that First Mate Kosi possesses!"

[ronnae.livejournal.com]

She was expecting not only for him to show his expertise! But to best her!

"Whoever earns the most booty gets to eat on the other's coin!"

Which just meant the loser had to pay for the meal!

Once the challenge was set, she immediately went to the strength games of course! While the girl was agile and dexterous as an acrobat, her primary power lied on the massive strength that the short, half breed girl his.
