Has anyone seen a man who… well, looks like a clown? I saw him go into the portal but hasn’t come back yet. Also trying to find Miyabi who may or may not have gone through the portal. She’s a Poncle - really small and wears a butterfly cap. Everyone else that I know of who went in has already come back…

Oh. And a man named Sabin. His friend doesn’t think he used the portal but is also missing. He’s tall and muscular. With blond hair, blue eyes, and a loud laugh.

If anyone sees them please let me know? How big is this place anyway?

Meryl. I’m going out to the desert for awhile. Don’t worry I’ll be back.

[Yes he’s off to search for the missing in the desert. He knows it’s a mostly fruitless endeavor; but he has to try. Feel free to run into him on his way.]

Well... I was going to the desert in case they wound up there. How well DO skeletons handle the heat?

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Better than the cold! Just in case however, I shall bring some water. Are you already on your way?

[goldenglasses]

Just about to leave. Meet me out front?

1/2

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Yes! I'll be out there shortly!

[A few minutes later, Brook is walking out the front of the building]

[goldenglasses]

Ready to go? [Vash has a large bag slung over his shoulder]

[Action]

I am! [Brook is dressed a bit lighter than usual, since they're going out to the desert. He's still wearing his top hat, but instead of a jacket he has a short-sleeved shirt on]

Do you have water? [He holds up a large container] I've brought quite a bit, in case it's needed!

[Action]

[Vash is dressed the same as always. Red coat. He's currently wearing a scarf and gloves but plans to take them off when they get there. He tilts his head towards his bag - journal in hand.] Yup! Got plenty in there. [As well as a few other things; after all a lot of Vash's life has been spent wandering the desert he's well prepared] A… well… he looks like a green penguin in his photo… named Kurtis is going to meet us here and then we should be ready to go.

[And Kurtis arrives soon. He's gathered water and other supplies in his fanny pack. He nods to the others.]

Hello.

Re: [Action]

[goldenglasses]

Hey! [Vash waves] Kurtis right? A friend of mine is coming now. She's been out to the desert a few times and should be a lot of help.

[ And here comes Meryl, bringing up the end of the group. She's got a bag with her. ]

Sorry I took so long. I needed to get a few things.

[Brook tips his hat at the two of them] Greetings! I don't believe I've had the pleasure of making acquaintance with either of you until this point!

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

Hey Meryl! Took you long enough! [He nods to Brook] That's Brook! He's part of Nami's and Luffy's crew! [Then to Kurtis] And that's Kurtis! And well... I just met him myself...

I'm the 38th Defender of Earth. Adell and Flonne are friends of mine, if you've met either of them.

[Action]

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

Pleased to meet you both. And... no, I'm afraid I haven't met them yet.

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

I met Flonne just the other day! [He starts headed off towards the desert - they have a lot of walking ahead of them after all] She showed me the flower shop!

[Action]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

[Following!] The names do not ring any bells for me, but I have not been here terribly long either.

[Action]

[38thdefender.livejournal.com]

[Kurtis follows the others.]

Are we taking the tunnels?

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

I thought that would probably be the fastest way. [Pause] This is going to be a long trip - are you sure you're ready?

(ooc: XD Sorry guys!! I thought people knew that this could take awhile. When I made the post really wasn't expecting people to jump in with me - except for possibly Meryl - so it didn't dawn on me to warn you guys sooner)

[Action]

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

I know I'm ready. Don't worry about me.

[Action]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Being a skeleton, I really don't need much at all to sustain myself! [And really he doesn't. He spent fifty years without food, after all] But out of curiosity, about how long would you suppose this journey should take? I should probably notify my nakama.

If a citizen of this town is in trouble, it's my duty to help!

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash looks up to the sky and places a finger on his cheek as he calculates] At least a week I think. Possibly two. Although… if they were dumped in the desert without any supplies… after a week…[He goes quiet - jaw clenching slightly before it relaxes again] Although no one knows if that’s where they are or not. So we just might not find anyone.

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

Still, it's better that we go and look, just in case.
