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!))

She was quiet, observing her surroundings with the half-attentive air that came along with the necessity of knowing what was out there at all times. Much as people insisted this was a place of idle enjoyments, she knew better than to believe there was such a thing as safe. Even home, even the world she'd created around the Konoha she'd thought she known, had proven anything but safe in the end.

Hardly even sacred.

"The stone that rolls gathers no moss." Idiomatic, but it was her response none the less. Information would come through perseverance and patience. Finding the right information. Being informed enough to act. "If it does gather an interesting view of the countryside."

"You fit in among the landscape better than I do." It was delivered as little more than a casual observation, but it was more than that.

Since the first moment he awoke on the ship, Setsuna had done his best to make sure that Celestial Being would not comply with rules or orders just because someone else believes they have the right to give them. The ship's constitution meant little, and rank meant even less to him, and he was never shy about letting the crew know. Needless to say, his opinions weren't appreciated.

As a result, Celestial Being was on the outside looking in, which was fine with Setsuna. That's how it's supposed to be. But he did recognize that they had information he would need, and without Wong Liu Mei to provide it, he would need an alternate among the crew.

Sakura fit most of the qualities he needed in such a person. She was friendly enough with the crew that they would share information; smart enough to ask the right questions; inquisitive enough that no one would wonder why she was asking; and despite them having similar viewpoints, no one would suspect her working with him.

"You'll meet the rest soon." Not that he ever actually bothered to ask her if she was in or not. One would think that would be necessary, but he took her still being there as a sign that she was in.

She looked to him, sharply, at his statement. Not can, but will.

It almost made her smile.

"I look forward to it." A simple statement, and more commitment to any one cause than she'd been asked to given past waking up on Stacy.
