Carat Isle Arc - One Piece RP (I)

First topic message reminder :

A pair of light green eyes blinked open and stared gently up at the wooden roof of their chosen resting place. There wasn't much else to see in the blackness, with the only light being a small sliver that filtered in through a crack in the wood.
Nevertheless, Toriru Shiori couldn't help the small smile that spread across her features as she uncrossed her arms and shifted her position. She hadn't been found yet, which meant she could do some exploring on her own.
Moving from where she was lying on her back with her feet pressed against the narrow walls of the box she had chosen as her hiding place, Shiori shifted to a crouch under the low wooden roof in order to have a better angle to push up at said 'roof' with one arm.

It had only been half a day or so ago, that Shiori had been wandering the busiest port of Reine Island...

The island was small, but that didnt stop large throngs of people from going about their daily business. As Shiori wandered along the docks of Reine Island, she could smell the delicate scents of cooking fish, as well as taste the salt of the ocean in the air. Sifting through the pockets of her pale blue jacket, Shiori wondered if she had enough beli to purchase some of that delicious smelling fish. There was nothing like fresh fish after all. Luckily, the money she'd gotten from lending a helping hand on the last ship she'd been on was more than enough to buy some food, and so Shiori sat at the small stall by the docks to enjoy her fish, not forgetting to thank the stall owner and praise his cooking. There really was nothing like fresh fish cooked on the docks.
Shiori had been about to ask the cheerful man about the best fish to put in a spicy fish stew, when her ears picked up the subject of conversation of a duo that were passing by the stall.

"The Grand Line is still that far away?" A blonde haired man asked his friend, who had a nasty scar over his right eye that trailed over his nose before ending on his left cheek.
The scarred man chuckled at the disappointment in the blonde's voice, clapping a hand on his shoulder.

"You should enjoy the peace whilst it lasts!" He laughed, "The Grand Line will run you ragged. It's a dangerous place."
The young blonde's frown didn't leave his face as he replied, "But then why does everyone call it 'Paradise'?"

The older man with the scar burst out into a long, hearty laugh at the blonde's words, before their voices were lost in the crowds of Reine Island's port.

Shiori had wasted no time wolfing down the rest of her fish and yelling another thanks to the stall owner as she dashed off in the direction the duo had disappeared in. They weren't wearing navy uniforms, they'd been carrying various weaponry, and they were heading for the Grand Line, which suggested only one thing.
"Pirates!" Shiori grinned to herself.

Shiori didn't have a ship of her own, and so for the time being she'd opted to use her 'skills' at stowing away on other ships to get her from place to place. Normally she'd find a way on board and hide until they were in open waters, at which point she'd explore the new ship before someone found her and then convince them to let her stay aboard rather than throw her off.
Sometimes it was easy, sometimes it was a hard task that needed to be handled delicately. It all depended on the type of pirates. Luckily Shiori didn't mind swimming too much, and as long as she wasnt too far away from the port she'd left, she could make her way back towards the docks and try and find another ship. Or if the threat of being thrown overboard was too large, steal a rowing boat and row back.

These two pirates however, seemed like somewhat decent individuals. Shiori just hoped their captain was of the same attitude. You could never be sure after all.

Spotting the blonde haired man and the scarred man in the crowd, Shiori had followed them, watching as they stopped at a store to pick up some rum and sake before heading back to their ship.

The boat had a stag figurehead and Shiori had to admit that the antlers it possessed made it look rather formidable. The flag the ship was flying was black with a skull and crossbones, but the skull possessed the same antlers as the ship's figurehead.

Shiori had already decided that Reine Island was too small to find a crew of her own here, so someone else's ship would do just fine until she could acquire one. If the words of these pirates could be taken at face value, the entrance to the Grand Line was still weeks, if not months away anyway; plenty of time to find a ship of her own, and maybe even her own crew! 
Shiori's mind was so easily lead astray by thoughts and dreams of adventure ok the Grand Line, that she nearly missed her opportunity to sneak on board the deer-ship. The ship's crew had been noticably absent from the deck for the past few minutes and, upon realising this, Shiori took advantage of the gap in security to hop on board and duck through a few doors until she reached the cargo hold.
Checking each of the various chests and boxes in the hold until she found one that was all but empty (if you ignored the few bottles of alcohol and a couple of bags of coins), Shiori clambered inside. It wasn't a tight squeeze and the young pirate-to-be had ample room to rearrange her position into something vaguely comfortable.

She had fallen asleep there, the comfort of the small space erasing any sense of danger that Shiori might have felt from hiding there as she waited for the ship to leave Reine Island.

The lid of the chest was opened just a crack but with practiced ease, making hardly a sound as Shiori's gaze scanned the area before her. Unfortunately what greeted her was nothing more than a stone wall, but there was still information to be gleaned from the sight. It definitely wasn't the same wall that she'd left behind when she'd first hidden in the wooden chest back in Reine Island's port, and Shiori couldn't help but wonder just how long she had been sleeping for.
Peering over the edge of her box, Shiori noted that the other assorted boxes and crates laden with food and other stored goods were still here with her, but in a slightly different order to before.

Where on earth had the ship's stores been moved to?

"Of course... The question is, what's the plan for that? I may be able to make use of my 'Ability' for this one if you can create a distraction" Caim responded, wanting to steal supplies is all well and good but they needed a plan, if they could pull off this heist without being caught it'd be best after all. One little tidbit Caim hadn't revealed as of yet was that the Yowayowa fruit enabled him to fly... If he could use that to get onto a building to provide overwatch taking supplies would be easy.

(Quick post cause break is almost over)

Shiori spun on her heel to face Caim, a bright grin on her face and her green eyes practically sparkling at the mention of her crewmate's 'ability'.
"I can totally be a distraction. I sooo want to properly see your ability in action!" she grinned enthusiastically, practically buzzing with excess energy all of a sudden.
"This is gonna be so awesome~!" she added melodically her excited grin still plastered on her face and her mind already going through a hundred different ways to distract people so that they'd be able to thieve the supplies that they needed.

"Remain focused on causing a distraction... If you turn your attention to me people may also do so and the plan would be ruined... I'll give you a proper demonstration when we're away" Caim spoke, he didn't like raining on her parade but he was trying to be logical here... He seemed to be the only one taking the revealation of his abilities to the masses as a threat, he'd rather maintain secrecy over that in regards to the masses, it'd provide a critical advantage in a fight after all.

The tawny haired captain sighed, though it didn't seem to be genuine but rather a put on noise to express her reluctant agreement at Caim's words.
"You're no fuuun," she whined, though she didn't mean anything by her words, "But fine. I already waited this long I can last a bit longer," she added, turning to head back into the town.

"Let's get going then!" she beamed, leading the way, "The quicker we get all the supplies we need to quicker you can give me that demonstration!" she reasoned. Her motivations for doing the stealing probably weren't the smartest but if it got the job done quicker, she didn't seem to care.

"Being in prison behind Kairosekai which saps your strength isn't fun... I'd rather not mess this up" Caim muttered under his breath, in comparison that was much worse. Caim had intended to take cover behind a structure, or in some form of alley, at which point he'd levitate to the roof. "I suppose so... let's get this done" He commented, shrugging somewhat, making it seem as if he intended to head to a workplace... she really needs to stop saying this out loud for everyone to hear.

(Since we kinda moved on ima do a quick summary of how this ended so I can lock it |D)
