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.
[Unfiltered]

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.]

[Warning? How’s this for warning? You now have a large broom head of a man hugging you and SCREAMING in your ear as suddenly - WHAT THE HELL?! Where’d the lake come from!?] GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! [Splosh]

EHH?!

[Where DID the lake come from? Unfortunately between panic and surprise, Brook isn't able to react fast enough to just run across the water]

[Splash. Glub. Oh right - Devil Fruits stink for situations like this]

What!?

[No! He's falling! Could this be the end?

[But wait, there's a lake below. He was saved. He gives a sigh of relief as he hits the water.]

[Action] Shit I don't have her freak out face anymore.

What the--!!

[ And she's screaming right along with the rest of them, though she'll be covering her ears with her hands so Vash doesn't deafen her. ]

[Action] You'll have to get it back now that you have a Vash to annoy you ~_^

[goldenglasses]

[Hmmm. Meryl seems to be a good choice of flotation device. But man; water - COLD!!!!!!! Wait… why hasn’t Brook resurfaced yet?] Brook?! BROOK!? [What kind of pirate can’t SWIM! Brb… diving under to save the dead guy.]

[Action]

[Hey, take it up with the devil fruit, Vash! That's a serious design flaw, there]

[It is very disconcerting to not be able to move. More so the be drowning when you don't have any lungs. OH HEY VASH. Yeah, you're his best friend now :D]

[Action]

[Vash was quicker to react than Kurtis, and he seems to have a pretty good handle on things, so Kurtis just waits by the surface, ready to lend a hand if Vash needs it when he surfaces.]

[Action]

[ Meryl CAN'T SWIM, TYVM Vash. So she'll keep flailing about as he dives under, somehow keeping herself afloat. ]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash surfaces with Brook and… oh god… how many people does he have to save? Sorry Meryl! He didn’t know and Brook sank like a rock!] Geeze!? Can’t you swim insurance girl!? [Cause you know… when you live on a desert planet it’s an important skill. Either way; doing his best to get you BOTH to the edge.]

[Action]

[38thdefender.livejournal.com]

I'll get her!

[And Kurtis will be swimming toward her to help her out. He's a good swimmer, Prinnies are similar to penguins, after all.]

[Action]

[Sputtering water for a second] Ah, thank you so much, Vash-san! For a moment I was sure I was a dead man!

[... Oh right] Yohohoho! Though I am already one!

[Looking over at Meryl now] Oh, can you not swim, Meryl-san?

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Vash does his best to hold both up and try to swim to shore until Kurtis can arrive.] Geeze you’re heavy!

[Action]

[bernardelli.livejournal.com]

[ She gasps and clings to Kurtis for her life. ]

NO, WHAT GAVE YOU THAT IDEA?!

[Action]

[38thdefender.livejournal.com]

[Kurtis starts for the shore, helping Meryl, but it's a little awkward.]

Kick your legs.

[Action]

[skulljokelol.livejournal.com]

Well you were flailing about quite a bit. [A good indicator, that is!]

[Now that Kurtis has Meryl, the swim to shore should be easier for Vash. Brook is just bones after all, so he's light enough]

[Action]

[goldenglasses]

[Finally gets to the shore. Vash flops on the ground and sighs.] Gahhhhhhhhhhh who was that guy?

[Action]

[38thdefender.livejournal.com]

[Arriving at shore, as well, Kurtis sits down to rest.] I have no idea, but it seems there are more dangerous people here than I realized.

[Action]

[ Meryl will kick her legs until they get to shore and lay out on her stomach, plagued with a headache. ]

It never stays quiet for long here, that's for sure.
