escordvi | [semi-open] 💣 they're gonna clean up your looks

Who: The PLUS ULTRA! crew & friends.
Status: Semi-open.
Where: The Mighty Explosion God Ship Bomb!! ship that is docked in Eltrut or Elah. Or the small cottage the crew owns in Elah.
What: A catch-all mingle log for March for the PLUS ULTRA! crew and any friends happening by. Some Manta Board quest prompts have been included too.
Warnings: Tba.

⛵ Like the rest of the ships around the docks lately, the explosion of sea slugs has taken over the hero's ship as well. It's covered in what seems like hundreds of playful and colourful sea slugs. They are all over the deck, climbing up the mast and leaving strings of sticky slime all over the place. The slugs will either need to be removed somehow or killed. And the sea slug slime mopped up...

If crewmates and friends are looking for partners to go harvesting underwater pineapples with the ship can also be found in Eltrut waters where the special pineapples can be found. Go swimming or diving to collect as many underwater pineapples for the ship stores as possible.

🌼 If not on the ship, the crew can sometimes be found at their small cottage on the paladin's leviathan, Elah. The cottage is small but happens to be well kept despite four very unruly and busy teenagers living inside it. They have a small garden growing outside as well as various plants and pots all over the terrace.

And they seem to be preparing to build some kind of new addition to the cottage soon too as there is a pile of stone and wood stacked up outside. And an apple-shaped sheep keeps walking around too. Baaah.

[It seemed like a fair amount.

But Roxas is just going to steal a page from another book here. He's learning.]

Go!

[And swimming as hard as he can, he takes off.]

[She could totally destroy him. But she decided not to show off yet and followed after him at a decent pace, her arms and legs moving through the water smoothly. Propelling herself after Roxas, it wouldn't take long for her to catch up to be right beside him, sticking out her tongue before attempting to take the lead as they circle the corner.]

[He's still kind of new at this, but doing his best. He's going to have to ask Nimona how to go faster in the water, since he can't exactly do the whole shapeshifting thing.

He's dropping behind a bit but still keeping pace.]

[Good thing Ranma's humble and isn't a showboat-

Oh wait. She is. She turns on her back, arms crossed behind her head. Smirking at Roxas as she passed him, her legs continued to kick and paddle until she circled the ship.]

[There's probably a strangled sound of frustration from Roxas as he tries to pick up his pace, kicking as hard as he can and doing the front crawl as he makes his way into the second lap.]

Let's go, let's go! I've seen guys with boulders tied to their back swim faster than you!

[That should get him to pick up the pace and make this less of a walk in the park. Swim in the park?]

[At the very least, it's set Roxas's expression in a grim line of determination. He starts to push himself harder.]

Yeah right!

[There's not more she loves hearing than the nonbelievers casting their doubts. She kept her smarm when Roxas sped up in the waves, even starting to turn back over to continue stroking and paddling the water seriously.]

You're talking to one of them right now!

[They were circling the ship once more. Just another lap, then it'll be victory for whoever is the quickest!]

I'll believe it when I see it!

[Roxas says between breaths. And desperately trying to ignore that maybe he needs to practice more. Swimming in the ocean is tough.]

Heh, I should've offered to handicap myself before we began. No matter, I can make you eat those words after I crush you!

[Roxas buddy, you're literally a clone of a boy who lived on an island? How can you not know how to swim good?! Ranma meanwhile, this was easy-peasy for her she almost feels a little too bad going against an amateur. She literally swam an entire ocean to get to another country, it's like if an ant went up against a steamroller!]

[Look the memories got split up and no one taught Roxas how to swim. The Organization doesn't have time for that and he never went to Atlantica anyway.]

[Roxas just sort of growls, frustrated, and continues on gamely.]

[Maybe in mermay Roxas'll experience what Sora, Donald and Goofy got to with Ariel. Plus now he's got pals like Nimona and Ranma to teach him to swim. In vastly different means.

Eventually, the race comes to an end. Sitting at the end of the rope ladder with the smuggest of smug looks was-]

'Bout time you got here.~

[Her, a sore winner? Nah!]

[Roxas, a sore loser? Maybe.

His response is mostly a huff, since three laps around the ship has tired him out a fair bit. He can't even blame a bad landing for this one, is probably the worst part.]

Whatever.

I'll win next time.

Uh-huh, sure you will. I'll be gracious and handicap myself to give you a fighting chance whenever you wanna go again.

[Looks like Roxas'll get to see her swim with a huge boulder on her back after all.]

[Roxas doesn't really give a response, but there's definitely a vibe that he's going to win next time, or at least is determined to, handicap or not.]
