voice + action for Murderess;

[gokai_red]

[Immediately after the mayhem on the 3rd.

Very soon, Marvelous is marching across the deck, book out.]

So, Draco, you think that earthquake was just a little strong, too?

Alright, no screwing around! We won't find out anything by just sitting on our asses. And I sure as hell don't want to have something coming for me.

Murderess! We're setting out. If you don't want to, you've got until we're pushed off to jump onto the island.

Frankly, I'm not gonna hold it against you.

We're not going to attack, unless we have to. Someone needs to look into what the hell's going on out there, and I guess that's us for now, unless anyone else is coming along. We look first hand, then we can actually make a choice on what to do besides sitting here and waiting for something to come to us.

So... let's go.

They're terrified by us, but then they apparently have to live with this Davy Jones person and this witch.

... or maybe that's why they think everything we do is witchcraft. [His tone is still deeply unimpressed: he'd have assumed that having it on this world would have inured its military and civilians to seeing magic (or anything similar to it) used.]

[gokai_red]

Maybe. That actually makes some sense, especially if this Witch was really dormant for as long as it seems. That stuff becomes legend, which scares the shit out of people when they see folks coming in throwing fire and jumping over buildings.

And I've not seen an inch of this Davy Jones' hide since we arrived.

[thethundersaid]

[It makes sense, in a weird way; even more immediate stories have a way of growing in the retelling until all the facts grow twisted and nothing but the underlying fear remains.

Davy Jones, though ...]

The girl I spoke to who saw him said he was a -- [What were the exact words?] -- 'huge grumpy ghost pirate guy'. Gibbs has one in his world, too, and some other people besides. The thing in common seems to be the ocean in some way.

... also, Gibbs said he had tentacles on his face.

[gokai_red]

[A long, thoughtful pause.]

I killed a guy who looked like that, once.

[thethundersaid]

... is this a common thing in other worlds?

[What if there's some kind of octopus sage thing in his own? Sasuke doesn't really want to think about it -- as if Kabuto's snake sennin weren't ridiculous enough.]

Was this person also a sea god ... thing?

[gokai_red]

Pretty common.

Dunno, though, I think he was a... demon? Sort of? Maybe.

He was another Sentai team's enemy, we just did 'em a favor by putting him out of their misery.

[thethundersaid]

[At this rate, there probably is an octopus sage. There's already an octopus jinchuuriki, though as far as he's aware the eight-tails' bijuu doesn't sprout tentacles from any part of his body. Small blessings.]

How did you kill him? He wasn't also a ghost, was he?

[gokai_red]

Don't really know that much about him, that was the Shinkengers' bag.

But how we killed him was pretty simple.

We blew him up.

[thethundersaid]

[He has to wonder if a ghost could actually be hurt with an explosion, but shrugs in the end -- if they need to fight this world's Davy Jones, he'll find a way to kill whatever-it-was somehow.]

That should work for most things.

[gokai_red]

[He just laughs sort of knowingly.]

Hasn't steered me wrong yet!

[thethundersaid]

Do we have explosives on board? [It's a natural progression of logic, Sasuke eyeing the cabins reserved for storage dubiously. He doesn't remember seeing anything when he'd rifled through for potential weapons.]

looks at date of original post before answering;

[gokai_red]

Not enough.

[Implying this needs to be changed.]

Still, don't always need them to do that.

[thethundersaid]

You have long-range attacks, correct?

We could use them in conjunction with the cannon on board and what explosives we do have.
