[Tosoto]

"Nope, women need things like 'space' or some other thing like that. Let's just move on and see what we can do about a boat." Tosoto adjusted his belt again and started off on along the river. "Feel free to do what you want."

So "Aq" was her name, he would have to remember it in case they ever met again. Now he just had to find a way to get his hands on a boat.

[Dude Man]

"Ack" Dudeman shrugged. "I guess so. Perhaps we should try and find a boat."

He rubbed his chin. "But where..."

He then notices Tosoto walking off along the river. "Hey maybe we can find a boat in the river!" He then follows Tosoto along the river.

[Tosoto]

A boat, a boat, a boat. Where the hell am I going to get a boat? Tosoto thought to himself as he walked along near the edge of the river. Boats weren't the cheapest things in the world, and he wasn't the richest.

He patted the pouch on his belt, only eight coins, that would be enough for a bed in town, or maybe a woman for the night. He'd decide that later, when he managed to find his way to a town in the first place. He didn't mind camping out though, he seemed to be doing it more often these days since he had that run-in with that harpy, Alevial. She was cute, for a harpy with her grey feathers and flowing blond hair. Usually they were dirty, foul-mouthed creatures, and smelled too. But she was clean, in body and mind. He would have to track her down sometime to see how she was, it had been weeks.

But for now he'd have to concentrate on finding a boat.

"Things are never easy."

[Dude Man]

"Yeah, I know man." Dudeman replies. "Things are never easy. Like, you play that one game they got back in town, the one were you have arrow all the chicken?" He continues to ramble on about this, and some other things probably nobody would care about at this time. Unlike his weapon, Dudeman isn't to sharp.

"Like, it was hard enough BEFORE they put the man eating ones in, like holy shit! I almost lost my freaking arm." He continues. "Oh yeah, but it's a good thing that I won that one time, got myself like 50 coins...I could like, afford to like, buy a bunch of steaks, or spend the night with like six women, or...rent a boat..."

He then lifted one of his fingers into the air, as if a superb idea came to him. "Ah ha! That's it!" He then dashes right in front of Tosoto. "We should each spend the night with three women!"

[Zalrin]

(This is gonna be weird to post xP Seeing as how in the other rp with these two Zal is still as shy as can be lol)

'They said you were...' had been where Zalrin started to reply.

"Dead?" he finished for her, offering a rather wry smile after having caught his balance just in time when she'd all but tackled him. "Well, I sure felt dead when I woke up." he went on, shrugging lightly through her deathly tight embrace, "After inhaling practically an entire storm's worth of sand. I figure I must've done some unconcious healing, though. Because when I woke up I was feeling a bit more tired than I probably should've; otherwise, I think, I probably would be dead."

If he seemed to be rambling a bit, it was most likely because he rather was rambling. After all, it'd been a full year and he hadn't exactly felt like talking to any stranger about what had happened to him. But now, finally having someone he knew to talk to, atleast that much of the experience had let itself fly from his mouth before he'd had a chance to stop himself. Then of course, had come her second comment. If he'd been walking her expression more closely he might've caught some sort of clue that she'd been picking up on a memory long off; but as he hadn't, the comment came as a bit of a surprise.

He'd stopped in his speaking when she'd laughed lightly, blinking once as she turned to look up at him once more. When she'd made the comment he smiled lopsidedly as well, the words bringing back the same memory that had come to her, to him. Zalrin didn't make any verbal reply, but rather brought his hand up to push the rim of his hat back lightly, leaning forward as he did so and closing the gap between them.

[Aquaria]

((But he only did that because he's completely fine around Aquaria.))

Aquaria gave out one of those laughs (when one sees something they haven't seen in a long time and are just happy to see it) as Zalrin gave her the lopsided grin, but stopped it as he leaned in, relaxing in his returned embrace as he kissed her.  Afterwards, she leaned in and put her head against his chest, just basking in the feeling of being there with him, feeling the body that she had longed to embrace for nearly a year and never wanting to let go.  Through newly formed tears, she sniffed and gave another broken laugh.  "There.  That wasn't so hard, was it?"

In that clearing, she just stood there, embracing her boyfriend and wishing that she could stay like this for as long as possible.  Whispering, she went on.  "Tell me everything that's happened.  I just want to hear your voice for a while.  Then I can tell you what happened with me, though I'm sure it's less... morally right."

[Yammy]

Meanwhile, Yammy was relaxing in the sun, slowly sailing on his shiny yacht.

Captain: Sir! Up on the shore are Cannibalistic Squirrels! We must turn away or they'll swim here and attack us!

Yammy: Ashamed...I doubt the monsters will swim all the way here-wait! Is that people I see on the shore! Who could be stupid enough to stand there in Cannibalistic Squirrel territory! Idiots! And they look totally oblivious to the creatures anyway!

Captain: I know! Insane!

Yammy: Chichi, my bodyguard, come here at once! Arrange the harpoonmen to fire at those creatures up on shore. I plan on landing there and nothing in the world can stop me...UNDERSTOOD CHICHI?

Chichi: Yes, boss. I'll take your best men!

Yammy: Excellent...

Yammy was grinning an evil grin as he watched Chichi march away to gather Yammy's harpoonmen and the Captain go to steer the boat in the mess of Cannibalistic Squirrels...

[Zalrin]

(Great, now I have to actually make up something for all that time in between xP)

Zalrin nodded, "Alright, fair enough." he replied, reacting to her last comment with only a glance. He turned lightly, and sat by the edge of the water, pulling off the waterskin, rucksack, and quiver/bowsling. He had no idea how long they'd stay there to talk, but any time he had without being laden with all his gear was a great releif.

"Well, I woke up after the sand storm with no idea where I was...but grateful to be alive, all the same. I sort of assumed that I'd subconciously healed myself from inhaling all that sand, it was the only way that I could see that would've prevented me from dying. Anyway..." he said, shrugging lightly and going on, "Like I said, I had no idea where I was...but I still had all my things with me. So...I just started walking. There was no way I was finding my way back to the Collossus, anyway. Eventually, I just fell back into the way of life I'd had before I'd met you." he finished.

'Way of life', of course, meant traveling from place to place with no destination in mind at all, playing his flute or offering to work for money whenever he needed it, and hunting whenever he didn't.

[Tosoto]

Tosoto waved off Dudeman's suggestion as he walked around him and kept on going. "I would, but I don't feel like traveling that far to get to the good place. Orc women are best for that kind of activity, you know." He spotted where the river poured out into the ocean, but there was a gathering of squirrels as well as a yacht out on the water.
"Well, there's a boat, but now we have squirrels."

[Dude Man]

"Squirrels?!" Dudeman snapped "I hate squirrels! They are so hard to kill!" Dudeman complained. (see my first post in the RP) Tim, then spotted Yammy's ship. "Hey maybe those people can help us!" He then ran closer to the shore. "Aye! You there!" He then slipped off the edge of the shore and fell into the water, a bunch of rabid squirrels then jumped into the water after him. "Ack! Help!"

[Aquaria]

As Zalrin walked over to the water, Aquaria had done the same, sitting beside him and taking his hand in hers, grinning lightly as he spoke.  When he finished, her look had changed to be more sympathetic, and she leaned her head against his shoulder, sighing and starting her story.

"I, heh, well, I went back to pirating.  Oh, the life of a pirate is most daunting and exciting, as I'm sure you know."  Grimacing, she continued, "Especially without a ship.  I had finally found one, but it was rusted and old and it wasn't likely the thing was going anywhere, but... that's getting ahead of myself.  Like I said, I went back to my old life of raiding and pillaging, holding people at swordpoint as they handed over anything that was valuable.  I hate doing it, but... I didn't really have a reason to stick around anymore after I thought you died."

Looking back up at him with adoration clear in her blue eyes, the Zora grinned a bit, "You're the only reason I've ever had to keep going, Zal."

[Yammy]

Yammy spotted Dudeman swimming to his boat with squirrels chasing after him!

Yammy: Chichi! Ready the gun now! That man need resucing!

Chichi: Aye aye boss!

Chichi began shooting at the squirrels with superior accuracy, but they just wouldn't die! He had to shoot them until they were in immobile pieces before they'd stop swimming!

Chichi: Boss! I don't know if I can save da' guy!

Yammy: At least toss out a life boat...I'll get the RPG. Some rocket propelled grenades may help with our squirrel problem.

Chichi: Indeed, sir. You are quite brilliant.

Yammy: Chichi, stop sucking up to me. You get the RPG, and get it now!

(Tosoto edit: I never went into the water. Post fixed. ~Tosoto)

[Dude Man]

"RPG?" Dudeman asked, "Isn't that a type of game?" He then overheard rocket propelled grenades. "Oh that type! You fool! That'll hurt me to!"

The squirrels then jumped onto him. "Arg! Fu-"

He then sunk into the water, and some blood then surfaced...

Was he dead?

[Yammy]

Chichi: Boss. The guy went under. I can see a pool of blood. I believe him to be dead, sir.

Yammy: You can't know that for sure. Fire the RPG at him, maybe that'll wake the guy up!

Chichi: But, sir, with your upmost respect, if we awaken him, we might kill him! Not that we even know he's dead or anything...

Yammy: HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY JUDGEMENT, CHICHI!!!!!!!!! I think him to be dead, though, from which I can see. Shoot now. Chichi, you know I hate to see blood while drinking red wine! NOW GET TO THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chichi: Of course sir!

Yammy: And give me the later report. I wish to find the outcome!

Then, Chichi pointed the RPG at Yammy and fired. Barely missing, the bomb struck the yacht's kitchen!

Yammy: Chichi! What ever are you doing?

Chichi: I am with Squirrel Base 45. I must destroy you!

Then Chichi took off his skin to reveal he was a giant Cannibalistic Squirrel underneath!

Yammy: Oh for the love of I...

[Tosoto]

Tosoto simply turned away from the show and walked away.

"Cannibalistic squirrels only kill and eat other squirrels. They should be fine."
